Chapter 295

Cao Weiguo said with a cold face: "What have the three uncles found? If no clues can be found, I'm going to report it."

"Breaking into a house to steal in broad daylight—if we can't catch that thief, won't they empty out my house and this courtyard in the future?"

As the saying goes, one doesn't fear a thief stealing, but one fears a thief keeping watch.

The residents in the courtyard also echoed, worried that their own homes would be visited by a thief.

"Weiguo is right; this thief must be caught."

"Daring to steal things in broad daylight—this is too lawless!"

"If we don't catch the thief and remove the scourge, I won't be able to work with peace of mind in the future."

The First Uncle said with a straight face: "Courtyard matters should be resolved in the courtyard. What does it look like to report it at every turn?"

The Second Uncle puffed out his big belly: "Weiguo, don't be anxious. The Second Uncle will definitely make the decision for you."

If Cao Weiguo went to the police station to report it, the matter would become a big deal. How would the neighborhood leaders view him, the Second Uncle?

The three uncles naturally didn't want to call the police, but they had searched the room for a long time without finding any traces.

Cao Weiguo looked at the window, thought for a moment, and said: "I'm sorry to trouble the three uncles to convene a courtyard-wide meeting; I have found some clues."

"Good, I will convene a courtyard-wide meeting immediately."

"Guangtian, Guangfu, you go notify the neighbors; as long as they are at home, they should all come to the backyard for a meeting."

The First Uncle didn't react, but the Second Uncle was very active, directing his two sons to call people.

At this time, most of the residents were already in the backyard; only a few families were not there.

And among the families not present, the Jia family was included.

Qin Huairu looked at the candy wrapper on the ground, only feeling her head buzzing.

From the moment she heard the Cao house had been robbed, she had a bad premonition.

Qin Huairu hurried home and asked Banggeng with some panic:

"The things lost from Cao Weiguo's house weren't stolen by you, were they?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? I came home from school and didn't go anywhere."

Banggeng pretended to be innocent, and Jia Zhangshi glared at Qin Huairu:

"You broom star, what are you talking nonsense about? You actually suspect my great grandson of stealing things! Is your skin itching!"

Looking at the reactions of the two, Qin Huairu's face became even uglier.

If the two hadn't stolen anything, why wouldn't they go see the excitement in the courtyard?

And Banggeng usually played wildly everywhere as soon as school was over and wouldn't return until it was time to eat.

But today he was unusually staying at home; this was clearly a guilty conscience.

"Sister Qin, take your mother-in-law and children to the backyard for a meeting."

At this time, Liu Guangtian shouted outside.

Qin Huairu bit the bullet and responded: "Got it."

Subsequently, Qin Huairu said with an unkind expression:

"Mom, come with me to the backyard for the meeting."

"Banggeng, you and your sister stay at home honestly; no one is allowed to go out."

"Banggeng, did you hear me?"

Banggeng said impatiently: "Heard you; we won't go out."

When Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi arrived at the backyard, most of the residents had already gathered.

"Three uncles, isn't it just losing a little peanuts and candy? Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?"

"Cao Weiguo is rich; he doesn't care about these few peanuts and dates."

"I think there's no need to waste everyone's time."

"Just pretend it was taken by a rat; everyone should disperse early."

"Go back to your own homes; eat what you should eat, and poop what you should poop."

The stubbly-bearded Shazhu stood with his hands tucked in his sleeves, speaking sarcastically with *schadenfreude*. ===== CHAPTER 297 =====
