Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): 52 years of farming, producing hundreds of millions of tons

"I haven't found anything missing from the house either, but the old lady is so old, she probably wouldn't lie. Maybe someone else took something?"

"If anyone has something stolen, please come out and let us know."

Everyone inquired, but after asking around, no one reported losing anything.

The deaf old lady's face darkened.

She said that many people had lost things, not just one or two families, but after asking around, no one had lost anything. Isn't that a slap in the face to her?

"Who said nobody loses anything?"

"I lost something!"

Sha Zhu stared at Wan Ping'an and stood next to the deaf old lady.

Wan Ping'an smiled.

Sha Zhu definitely didn't lose anything; he just wanted to help the deaf old lady out of a predicament.

What did you lose?

"I lost a dollar."

"When was it lost?"

"It was lost yesterday, uh, no, the day before yesterday."

Wan Ping'an's first few questions didn't stump Sha Zhu.

Wan Ping'an wasn't in a hurry at all.

"You lost money, even a dollar isn't a small amount, why didn't you call the police?"

Wan Ping'an questioned.

"I...I'm afraid the kids in the yard took it. What if they call the police? Wouldn't that harm the kids?"

Sha Zhu was stumped by the question.

Yi Zhonghai coughed and pointed at a small child. Sha Zhu realized what was happening.

"Yi Zhonghai, why are you coughing? Why are you pointing at people and talking to children?"

"So you're saying he stole it?"

Wan Ping'an directly exposed the truth.

"No, I just have an itchy throat."

Yi Zhonghai blushed; his little trick had been caught.

"Is your throat itchy, and your fingers itchy too?"

"Everyone, Sha Zhu lost a dollar. I suggest calling the police (chbh) to find the thief."

"Otherwise, if we can't find the real thief, everyone will suspect each other, making our courtyard a place of fear and unrest."

"Also, let me remind you again, even if you haven't lost any money, you will still be held accountable for making a false police report!"

"Silly Zhu, what do you say?"

Do you want me to call the police for you?

Wan Ping'an stared coldly at Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu was sweating.

He only wanted to help the deaf old lady out of a predicament, but he didn't expect Wan Ping'an to deliberately make things worse.

He even made a false police report; how could he not be afraid?

"I, I, I remember now."

"My money wasn't lost; it was in another pants pocket. I just forgot about it, but I remembered now. It's all right!"

Sha Zhu blushed and his neck turned red.

So embarrassing!

Everyone laughed.

Aside from children, who doesn't understand what's going on?

"Ahem, alright, that's enough!"

"Silly Zhu just misremembered. When you put things away, have you never misremembered anything?"

Sha Zhu embarrassed the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady, of course, couldn't just stand by and watch, so she tapped the ground hard with her cane to explain for Sha Zhu.

"Wan Ping'an, even if nothing was stolen from the yard, the fact is that you sell goods there, and the constant flow of people makes the yard chaotic, isn't it?"

The deaf old lady was unwilling to accept this.

do not give up.

Continue to make things difficult for Wan Ping'an!

"You can no longer farm, and you can no longer sell things!"

The deaf old lady didn't give Wan Ping'an time to react and announced it directly.

"What did you say?"

"They won't let me farm anymore?"

"They won't even let me sell things anymore?"

Wan Ping'an was stunned.

Is the deaf old lady mentally disabled?

"why?"

Give me a reason!

Wan Ping'an stared coldly at the deaf old woman.

"Isn't it enough that you farm the land and try to sell your produce in the yard, causing chaos and a mess in the yard?"

"We can't let our courtyard house be ruined because of you alone!"

The deaf old lady was full of confidence.

"not enough!"

"Deaf old lady, you're stopping me from farming, which is stopping agricultural production. What are you thinking? Are you perhaps Dieter?"

Wan Ping'an smiled.

I've decided to do something really tough on the deaf old lady.

In the early 1950s, the new society had just been established, and there were many remnants of the old society who always wanted to sabotage and subvert the new society.

These people are Dieter.

Standing with Dieter will definitely not end well. If it is proven true, he may be dragged out and shot!

"Wan Ping'an, you are too cruel, too dark-hearted!"

"I only forbade you from farming and selling agricultural products, and you're accusing me of being Dieter?"

"Are you trying to kill me?"

The deaf old lady was really scared.

Not to mention her, no one is afraid of anyone who gets involved with Dieter.

"Am I more ruthless, or are you?"

"If I don't have a job, and you won't let me farm or buy these products, what am I supposed to eat and drink?"

"Didn't you want me to starve to death?"

"You want to kill me, and I want to kill you too. We're even!"

Wan Ping'an sneered.

"You wait, I'm going to call the police right now and arrest Dieter!"

Wan Ping'an said he called the police not to scare the deaf old lady.

I'm really going!

"You can't call the police!"

Sha Zhu panicked.

What if Wan Ping'an goes to the police and they actually arrest the deaf old lady?

He blocked Wan Ping'an's path.

roll!

Wan Ping'an frowned slightly.

"Wan Ping'an, an old man once said that matters within the compound should be resolved within the compound, and you cannot call the police!"
