Chapter 299

Did they really think he was a money-scattering boy?

Yan Fugui pushed his glasses and said: "Weiguo, although Yan Jiefang has big feet, he is also a child. It is right to actively cooperate with the investigation."

"Let him enter the room to compare footprints; Jiefang can clear his suspicion. Everyone can also be at ease."

One dime was quite a lot!

Entering the room and getting money was like picking it up for free.

How could one not want it!

Fine!

Cao Weiguo didn't want to talk too much nonsense: "That's fine, let Jiefang line up too."

Hearing Cao Weiguo's words, Yan Fugui and Yan Jiefang both laughed happily.

Liu Haizhong looked at Qin Huairu and asked: "Qin Huairu, where are your three children?"

Qin Huairu bit the bullet and said: "The children are timid; I'm afraid of scaring them."

"Hahaha..."

Xu Damao laughed exaggeratedly: "Qin Huairu, if you said Xiaodang and Huaihua were timid, I'd believe it, but you say Stick is timid—why do I want to laugh so much."

"Qin Huairu, why are you hiding the children at home!"

"All the children in the courtyard have come; why is your family's child so special?"

"Qin Huairu, you are feeling guilty, aren't you?"

"It's not the first time Banggeng has stolen things; I think the things in Weiguo's house were stolen by Banggeng!"

"I think so too; otherwise, why wouldn't he dare to show his face!"

The residents in the courtyard also spoke up one after another, and Jia Zhangshi cursed viciously:

"You heartless people, framing my great grandson for stealing things—aren't you afraid of not having a son?"

Jia Zhangshi's curse was undoubtedly like poking a hornet's nest, making the residents' eyes burn with fire:

"Jia Zhangshi, what are you spraying dung about!"

"Do you believe I'll pull your mouth apart!"

"You vicious old hag, you deserve your son's early death!"

"Whether it's a frame-up, let Banggeng enter the room to compare footprints and we'll know!"

"Let Banggeng come out quickly!"

Looking at the attitudes of Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi, Cao Weiguo felt even more certain:

"Qin Huairu, if it wasn't stolen by Banggeng, then let him enter the room to compare footprints."

"This is also good for Banggeng, to avoid being suspected."

"If you insist on not letting Banggeng enter the room, then can I suspect that you are feeling guilty and don't dare to let Banggeng enter the room?"

Helpless, Qin Huairu turned and went home, bringing Stick, Xiaodang, and Huaihua to the backyard.

Jia Zhangshi glared viciously at Cao Weiguo: "You frame Banggeng; I, the old woman, won't finish with you."

Cao Weiguo sneered with disdain and personally led the first child into the room.

In a short while, that child ran out happily holding one dime.

Next, child after child entered the room, and each one came out happily holding one dime.

Yan Jiefang was no exception, but he was intercepted by the Third Uncle as soon as he left the door.

When it was Banggeng's turn, Banggeng turned and ran in a panic.

The things were stolen by him; naturally, he didn't dare to enter the room to compare footprints.

"Kid! What are you running for!"

Chi Ping'an grabbed Banggeng's arm: "You don't even want the money and turned and ran; are you feeling guilty?"

"I didn't!"

"I just don't want to go in!"

"Let go of me!"

Banggeng struggled stubbornly and even punched and kicked Chi Ping'an.

Xu Damao stared at Banggeng: "Banggeng, all the other children have entered the room, and you are the only one who doesn't dare to enter. I think the things were stolen by you."

Jia Zhangshi cursed loudly: "Xu Damao, you plague-ridden animal, framing my Banggeng for stealing things—you won't die well."

Cao Weiguo said with a cold face: "Ping'an, Brother Damao, don't stop Banggeng. I'm going to report it now and let the comrades from the police station come to investigate. Breaking into a house to steal will at least get you locked up for five or six years."

"You can't call the police!"

Qin Huairu shouted in panic: "Weiguo, don't report it. My Banggeng is just timid; he didn't steal anything."

There were footprints in the room and stolen goods at home. Once the comrades from the police station came, could Banggeng escape?

If he were caught and locked up for five or six years, Banggeng's life would be over.

Cao Weiguo looked at Qin Huairu and sneered: "Qin Huairu, Banggeng didn't steal anything, so what does it have to do with you if I report it?"

Qin Huairu said with a face full of shame: "Banggeng is timid; he is afraid of the police. He has nightmares as soon as he sees them."

"Afraid of the police!"

"Only people with a guilty conscience are afraid of the police!"

"I think it was stolen by this Banggeng!"

"He stole fish from Director Cao's house before."

"A dog can't change its habit of eating dung!"

"Qin Huairu protecting him like this must mean she knows something and is feeling guilty."

Qin Huairu's few words immediately made the courtyard explode.

The residents pointed at Banggeng and Qin Huairu one after another, their words as sharp as knives.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Jia Zhangshi began to use her big move, sitting on the ground and howling:

"Ouch! Old Jia! Dongxu!"

"Come back and take a look!"

"The people in this courtyard are all bullying our family!"

"They are following Cao Weiguo to frame the Jia family's only seedling; this is to make the Jia family extinct!"

"Come back quickly and take those animals away!"

Watching Jia Zhangshi sitting on the ground summoning souls, Liu Haizhong shouted with a straight face:

"Jia Zhangshi, if you engage in superstition again, do you believe I'll send you to the police station!"

"Gah!"

Jia Zhangshi was choked by Liu Haizhong and didn't dare to howl or summon souls anymore.

She was a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong; she wasn't afraid of the hypocritical Yi Zhonghai, but she was afraid of Liu Haizhong, this official-obsessed person.

Because she knew Liu Haizhong's character and was afraid that Liu Haizhong would step on her to get promoted and get rich.

Cao Weiguo looked at the gritting-teeth Banggeng, looked at the miserable-acting Qin Huairu and the old hag sitting on the ground, and felt a burst of annoyance in his heart.

Cao Weiguo looked at Chi Ping'an and said: "Ping'an, trouble you to go to the police station to report it. We can't catch the thief, so we can only let the police comrades come over."

"I'm going now!"

Cao Weiguo had spoken, and Chi Ping'an naturally executed it immediately.

Qin Huairu hurriedly grabbed Chi Ping'an's arm, begging bitterly with tears:

"Weiguo, don't report it!"

"Banggeng is afraid!"

Shazhu looked at Qin Huairu with heartache and glared at Cao Weiguo angrily:

"Cao Weiguo! Courtyard matters have always been resolved in the courtyard. You report it for every little thing; do you still understand any rules?"

Yi Zhonghai also stood out: "Weiguo, Zhuzi's words make sense. If you report it, the matter will become a big deal. Regardless of whether you catch the thief or not, it won't be good for our courtyard."

"Besides, you didn't lose much; your living conditions are good, and you aren't lacking those few bites of food."

"Just be generous and don't haggle over every ounce, so as not to affect the reputation of the courtyard."

Cao Weiguo suppressed his anger and sneered with disdain:

"Yi Zhonghai, you unreasonable old dog, shut up. Is it my fault that I'm rich and deserve to be stolen from?"

"Then you have a salary of 99 yuan every month; you must have at least several thousand yuan in savings at home!"

"If I take a few hundred yuan from you every few days, you are so generous, you shouldn't mind, right?"

"If you don't mind, then I'll go to your house to take money immediately, and I won't pursue Banggeng's matter anymore." ===== CHAPTER 301 =====
