"The Courtyard: My Max-Level Medical Skills Treat Beasts" - Stunning writing and a thrilling plot!

After dealing with the money, He Yudong put it directly into the drawer, glanced out the window out of the corner of his eye, and saw that the ungrateful wretch had immediately slipped away.

It has to be said that Bang Geng's eavesdropping skills have improved considerably this time. If this kid were a thief and received systematic training, he could become a formidable one, but unfortunately, he's not on the right path.

Bang Geng was overjoyed when he saw He Yudong put the money in the drawer. Now that he knew where it was, he could figure out a way to steal it. He just needed to wait for He Yudong to leave so he could steal the money.

Around 2 PM, after his lunch break, He Yudong took Ding Qiunan out for a bike ride to clear her head. He didn't lock the door when they left; he just closed it.

As he was leaving, He Yudong noticed a pair of eyes staring at him. The gaze came from the window of Qin Huairu's house, and he knew who it was without even looking.

After spending the afternoon strolling around, Ding Qiunan had long since put all the unpleasant things from the factory behind her.

Not long after He Yudong left, Banggeng looked around and saw that He Yushui's door was closed. He then tiptoed to He Yudong's door. He was overjoyed to find that He Yudong's door was unlocked—perfect! He carefully pushed open the door, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then slipped into He Yudong's room.

He then went straight to He Yudong's desk, opened the drawer, and his eyes lit up when he saw a large stack of ten-yuan notes inside. He had never seen so much money before; it added up to at least a thousand yuan. Without thinking, he immediately stuffed the money into his pocket and then closed the drawer.

Then, he carefully left the room, closed the door, and returned to his own home.

When Jia Zhangshi saw Banggeng return, she quickly asked, "How was Banggeng?"

"Grandma, so much money, so much money! We're rich!" Banggeng's breathing became rapid, and his heart beat several times faster. Then he took the money out of his pocket.

Upon seeing so much money, Jia Zhangshi's face lit up with ecstasy. She said, "Quickly give the money to Grandma, and Grandma will hide it well. No one should have seen it, right?"

"Don't worry, Grandma, He Yudong's room door wasn't locked today, and no one saw me go in," Banggeng said smugly.

"That's good, that's good. We need to hide this money well." Jia Zhangshi looked at it and finally pulled out a brick from the kang (a heated brick bed) in the room, revealing a hole. She then took out an iron box from inside.

Opening the tin box, she found it filled with one- or two-yuan coins, and some ten-yuan notes, totaling at least several hundred yuan. This was all the money she had saved over the years, taking three yuan from Qin Huairu every month without fail, which resulted in such a large sum.

It has to be said that this old woman is quite wealthy.

"Grandma, you have to give me something, I have no money to spend," Banggeng said.

After thinking for a moment, Jia Zhangshi took out a one-cent coin and handed it to Banggeng, saying, "Here, Grandma will give you this. Use it sparingly."

"Grandma, it's only a dime? Can you give me a dollar?" Banggeng was clearly dissatisfied.

"Bang Geng, be careful now. If people find out you're carrying so much money, they'll definitely suspect you. Here, Grandma will give you another penny, and I'll give you the rest after this is over," said Jia Zhangshi.

"Alright then." Banggeng had no choice but to compromise.

At this moment, Madam Jia was incredibly excited. Her daughter-in-law, Qin Huairu, only earned twenty-seven yuan and fifty cents a month, while He Yudong had at least a thousand yuan—that was several years' worth of Qin Huairu's salary!

However, she felt that He Yudong's money was definitely ill-gotten gains, and he deserved to be stolen by her. Besides, he had no proof and certainly didn't know who stole it, so she wasn't afraid even if the police came.

Moreover, if He Yudong hadn't come back, the house belonging to He Yudong and He Yushui would have belonged to their family sooner or later, and Shazhu would have been leeched off by them. So she felt it was only natural for her to take He Yudong's money.

What she didn't know was that her good days were about to end.

In the evening, the two finished eating roast duck at a roast duck restaurant before returning home. When they came back, they didn't forget to pack one up for Sha Zhu and He Yushui, the brother and sister.

"Brother, you're back! Oh, you bought roast duck? That's great, I haven't had it in ages!" He Yushui saw He Yudong return with a Quanjude roast duck in his hand and immediately came over to take it.

"You can eat so much, be careful you don't get as fat as a pig," He Yudong said with a laugh.

"I won't get fat! By the way, my sister-in-law is back. My brother just cooked. Did you eat out? I told him to cook less," He Yushui asked.

"Okay, you guys eat. We just went to eat Peking duck, so we packed some for you."

"Brother, you're still the best to me." He Yushui chuckled.

"Don't worry, bro, I've finished all the questions you gave me, there won't be any problems."

Just as He Yudong was about to enter the room, he noticed a small piece of paper that had fallen to the ground. He had left it on the door before he left, and now that he was back, the paper had fallen to the ground, meaning someone had definitely entered his room.

Looking around the room, He Yudong saw a pair of children's footprints leading all the way to the desk drawer. This was fluorescent powder he had scattered on the floor before leaving; it looked like just a layer of dust, but it glowed at night. Actually, even without seeing the glow, He Yudong already knew from the footprints that Bang Geng had come in.

After opening the drawer, I found that the 1,400 yuan inside was indeed gone.

As soon as He Yudong stepped outside, he shouted, "Thief! The yard's been robbed!"

Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng, who were originally feeling smug, were startled by He Yudong's shout outside and immediately felt a little guilty.

Madam Jia quickly said, "Bang Geng, you stay home and don't go out for a while, understand?"

"Don't worry, Grandma, I won't come out." Banggeng was also a little scared at this point. Although he thought no one should have seen him, he was still a little uneasy because he had stolen so much money. He had never seen so much money before. This 1,400 yuan was probably equivalent to five or six years' salary for an average family. In this era, it was definitely a huge sum of money.

"Brother Yudong, what's wrong? Did you lose something?" Ding Qiunan asked hurriedly.

"I lost over a thousand yuan," He Yudong said.

"Huh? How could so much money be lost?" Ding Qiunan exclaimed in surprise. Her salary was only around forty yuan a month. Although He Yudong was good at making money, fourteen hundred yuan was definitely a huge sum of money.

"What's wrong, Yudong? Whose house has been burgled?" Grandpa San asked as he walked over.

At this moment, many people came out of the courtyard, including Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, who were the three most important people in the courtyard. Although Yi Zhonghai had been involved in that incident with Qin Huairu, it seemed that no one cared about it now, and on the surface, he was still the most important person in the courtyard.

"You three have come at the right time. I went out this afternoon and forgot to lock the door, and as a result, my house was burgled. Fourteen hundred yuan was stolen from inside. That was my demobilization pay. I hope the thief will come forward and return the money, and I won't pursue the matter further. Otherwise, I will have to call the police, and if it gets investigated, I'm sorry," He Yudong said.

"What? Fourteen hundred yuan?" Sha Zhu, Lou Xiao'e, and He Yushui also came out.

Upon hearing that He Yudong had actually lost 1,400 yuan, everyone was shocked. The others in the courtyard were equally astonished; to steal over a thousand yuan at once—this thief was incredibly audacious.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai also realized the gravity of the situation. If handled properly, it could significantly enhance his reputation. He immediately said, "Everyone, go and inform everyone in the courtyard to come to the central courtyard. This is extremely serious; our courtyard has been burgled! This is a major incident."

"That's right, Lao Yi is right. Our hospital has never lost a single needle before, but now we've lost so much money. We need to notify everyone to come to the Intermediate People's Court." Liu Haizhong added.

Hearing what was happening outside, Qin Huairu subconsciously looked at her son. Upon seeing Banggeng, he quickly turned his head away, avoiding eye contact with Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu quickly lowered her voice and said, "Bang Geng, do you know about He Yudong losing money?"

The stalk didn't speak.

Madam Jia quickly interjected, "What nonsense are you spouting? He Yudong lost money, what does that have to do with my grandson?"

Qin Huairu was clearly skeptical of Jia Zhangshi's words. She sensed that the matter might not be so simple.

"Mom, you didn't steal He Yudong's money, did you?" Qin Huairu asked again.

"Qin Huairu, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"He Yudong is not someone to be trifled with. If he finds out you stole money, he definitely won't let you off the hook! Banggeng, tell me honestly, did you steal his money?" When Qin Huairu returned, she noticed her mother-in-law and son acting strangely—they were initially chuckling, but immediately fell silent upon seeing her. She knew her own family best; she knew exactly what her mother-in-law and son were like.

"Damn it, don't worry, no one saw it. We can just deny it," Banggeng said.

"What? You really stole his money?! Bang Geng, why don't you learn from the good old days?!" Qin Huairu was immediately alarmed. Today she saw Deputy Factory Director Li get beaten up by He Yudong and end up in the hospital, and the factory didn't do anything to He Yudong... If He Yudong found out that his son stole his money, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you afraid others won't know? What's wrong with my grandson taking some money from He Yudong? That money should have been ours! If it weren't for that bastard He Yudong coming back, would our family be living such a miserable life? Eating cornbread every day, what hope is there in this life!" said Madam Jia.

"But Mom..."

"There's no 'but' about it! My grandson said that nobody saw it. What can He Yudong do if we deny it? Besides, he can't find the money anyway," said Jia Zhangshi.

"you……"

"Qin Huairu, the all-staff meeting is starting, and your family is the only one missing!" someone outside called out to Qin Huairu's family.

"Okay, wait a minute!" Qin Huairu replied, then glared at Banggeng and said, "You stay home and do your homework, don't go out! Mom, you should come too, otherwise people will get suspicious."

After thinking for a moment, Madam Jia Zhang went out with Qin Huairu.

The courtyard was already packed with people; practically everyone from the entire courtyard had come, even the children. Xiao Dang and Huaihua were with He Yushui, and Qin Huairu quickly called to the two children. The two children hesitated for a moment, then went to Qin Huairu's side.

"Is everyone here now?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

"I called everyone here today because He Yudong's house was burgled and money was stolen. He Yudong, could you tell me the details?" Yi Zhonghai said.

He didn't know the money was stolen by Bang Geng; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have come out to host the show.

He Yudong scanned the crowd, finally fixing his gaze on Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi, and said, "Is there anyone from your family who hasn't arrived yet? Where's Banggeng?"

"My grandson is doing his homework at home!" Jia Zhangshi said quickly.

He Yudong ignored her and said, "Well, I'll get to the point quickly. This afternoon I went out and forgot to lock the door, and when I came back, my house had been burgled. They stole 1,400 yuan. That's all my demobilization pay."

The people in the courtyard were shocked to hear that He Yudong had lost over a thousand yuan. Fourteen hundred yuan—very few households have that much these days. How could He Yudong have just had his thousand-plus yuan stolen like that?

"Actually, I already know who took the money. But we're all from the same compound, and I don't want to send them to the police station. So I'm giving them a chance to come forward, admit their mistake, and return the money. Otherwise, I'll call the police to arrest them. Stealing over a thousand yuan is no small matter; even a child would be locked up for several years."

As He Yudong spoke, his gaze went directly to Qin Huairu's family, especially landing on Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Zhangshi's eyes flickered. Qin Huairu also panicked at this moment—did He Yudong know that Bang Geng stole the money?

When He Yudong stared at Jia Zhangshi like that, everyone in the courtyard turned their attention to her. Jia Zhangshi immediately became displeased and said, "He Yudong, why are you looking at me? Your money is gone, why are you looking at me?"

"Hmph." He Yudong snorted coldly and said, "I'll count to ten now. If the person who stole the money still doesn't step forward, then don't blame me for calling the police."

"What goes around comes around. Don't think you can deny taking my money just because no one saw it. Give me back my money now, and I might let it go. But if the police investigate, don't come begging to me when you're in jail."

Qin Huairu panicked even more at this point. Jia Zhangshi was even more panicked, but thinking that He Yudong couldn't possibly have any evidence and that even if the police came, they certainly wouldn't find anything, she felt more confident and was determined to deny everything.

"one"

"two"

"three"

He Yudong started counting, and Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi's hearts started racing.

"seven"

"eight"

"Nine"

"ten"

"Aren't you going to step forward?" He Yudong laughed instead of getting angry, saying, "Fine, very well. Since you refuse to step forward, then don't blame me. Yushui, go and call the police—"

"Okay, brother!" He Yushui replied and immediately walked out of the yard. She was also very angry—her brother's hard-earned demobilization pay of over a thousand yuan had been stolen. That was money her brother had earned with his life on the battlefield! She was determined to make the police catch the thief.

"Wait a minute! Yu Dong, should we wait a little longer? We're all from the same compound. If there's anything that can be resolved in the compound, let's not involve the police. That would be bad for our compound's reputation," Yi Zhonghai said quickly.

He noticed that Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi looked rather grim, and he began to suspect something—could it be that Qin Huairu's family stole it? If so, it wouldn't be good if they were arrested.

"Sir, you've seen it yourself. I've already said that if you step forward and return the money, this matter will be over. Do you think the thief wants to resolve this now?" He Yudong shouted.

"Fellow neighbors, as you've all seen, I've already given them a chance. Don't blame me for being blunt, but I'll make it clear from the start—originally, out of consideration for us being in the same compound, I would have pretended nothing happened if they returned my money. But since the thief won't come forward, then we'll have to let the police handle it."

"Yu Dong, you're right! Since the thief won't come out on his own, let's call the police and arrest him!"

"Yes, that's right! We have to catch the thief in our yard, otherwise no one will be safe!"

"Jia Zhangshi, where are you going?" Someone saw Jia Zhangshi about to leave in the crowd and called out.

"Where...where can I go? There's no result yet, isn't there? Can't I even go home?" Jia Zhangshi said, trying to hide her guilty conscience.

"This isn't over yet. Let's wait for the police to arrive before we leave," said a young man in the courtyard.

"The police are here!" someone shouted.

He Yushui arrived with Nie Jun and several police officers. Having over a thousand yuan stolen is no small matter—the average person earns only ten or twenty yuan a month these days, so fourteen hundred yuan is several years' salary, making it an exceptionally large sum and a particularly egregious act.

"Why is it always something from your compound? Can't you neighbors just keep quiet for once? Other compounds don't have this much trouble, but your compound always seems to have something going on every few days," Nie Jun said with dissatisfaction.

Then, looking at He Yudong, she said, "Dr. He, you were the one who reported the case, right?"

"Yes, officer. It's like this, today..." He Yudong recounted how he forgot to lock the door when he left home that afternoon, and how the money in his house was stolen when he returned.

"What? Fourteen hundred yuan?" Nie Jun was also shocked by this amount. This was an exceptionally large sum! He was a veteran who had returned to work at the police station, and his monthly salary was only fifty or sixty yuan.

He immediately looked at the people in the courtyard and said, "Anyone here willing to turn themselves in? If you do now, the charges won't be as serious. You can apologize, return the money, and at most you'll be locked up for a few months. But if I find out later, the situation will be completely different!"

Nie Jun, exuding righteousness, scanned the people present. When he looked at Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu, the two women clearly showed signs of guilt.
