Courtyard House: Starting as an eighth-grade worker, with too many wives.

I dared not speak again.

"Master Li's approach is excellent."

When the director turned to face Li Jianguo, he adopted a respectful attitude with a smile.

"Let's go in together and investigate the scene now."

"Please point out what you lost."

"it is good."

"Let's go."

They went inside.

The director was also taken aback by the mess in the room.

He stood at the doorway, looked around, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"This isn't just a case of being robbed; it's more like being attacked by robbers!"

"Where did this clumsy thief come from? He has absolutely no manners!"

"Are there rules even for thieves?"

Li Jianguo asked with amusement.

The director immediately started talking.

He spoke to him as he surveyed the scene.

"This is Beijing, the capital city."

"Back in the old days, every industry had its own rules."

"Even thieves have their own rules."

He squatted down and looked at the footprints on the ground.

"It's like breaking into someone's house to steal; you wouldn't make such a mess."

"Those rule-abiding thieves are usually hard to catch!"

He stood up and clapped his hands.

As they talked, they also roughly calculated the losses.

The main items that were stolen were concentrated in the kitchen.

These are all foods he bought a couple of days ago.

oil.

meat.

Various seasonings.

Rice and noodles.

The director looked at each item one by one and wrote them down in his notebook.

A pen is missing from the room.

There's nothing else to it.

However, quite a few things were damaged.

His bedding was all on the floor, with several large footprints on it.

The director looked at the footprints and compared their sizes.

I definitely won't be able to sleep tonight.

The dishes in the kitchen were smashed so badly that not a single good one remained.

The fragments were scattered all over the ground, and they crunched when you stepped on them.

Two of the books he had left were also damaged.

The pages of the book were torn and scattered on the ground.

Various kinds of toilet paper were scattered all over the floor.

Fortunately, he brought the blueprints that the system rewarded him to the factory.

Otherwise, those blueprints would probably also be ruined.

The director couldn't help but feel indignant as he looked at the final investigation results.

He closed the notebook and looked up.

"Master Li, it's fortunate that you've only just checked in."

"The important things haven't been put inside yet."

"Otherwise, we'd really suffer a huge loss!"

As he spoke, he came out of the room and immediately spotted the stick.

The child huddled behind Jia Zhangshi, only half of his face showing.

The director walked over and stood in front of him.

"Did you steal it?"

"You destroyed everything in the house, didn't you?"

Banggeng subconsciously shook his head.

He shook his head so hard it almost fell off.

"It wasn't me!"

"You can't arrest me!"

"open!"

"Grandma, save me!"

He was, after all, just a child.

Subconsciously, I went to the person I usually ask for help from the most.

"My dear grandson!"

Looking at the restrained stick, Jia Zhangshi felt heartbroken.

She rushed over, wanting to hug her grandson.

They were stopped by the police.

"Officer, why don't you arrest me?"

She shouted at the top of her lungs.

"I'm old, so it doesn't matter to me."

"My grandson is still young; he didn't do this."

"I did it all!"

"It's all my fault!"

Jia Zhangshi was wrong in every way.

But when it comes to her grandson, she's still a normal grandmother.

They tried every possible way to take the blame for their grandson.

"We will make our own judgment as to who did it."

The director's voice was cold and hard.

He opened the notebook and read out each item one by one.

"Based on the footprints in the room, the height at which the missing items were located, and all the evidence, including witnesses and physical evidence—"

He closed the notebook and looked at Jia Zhangshi.

"The thief who stole things is your grandson."

"It wasn't him!"

"It's me!"

Jia Zhangshi started shoving and pulling at the police officers, acting somewhat unreasonably.

She reached out and tugged at the policeman's sleeve, wanting them to arrest her and let Bang Geng go.

"Arrest me!"

But the police wouldn't care about her.

He reached out and pushed her away.

He rebuked and warned in a stern tone.

"I'm warning you, don't obstruct law enforcement."

"How can there be a substitute for a crime?"

"If only I had known this would happen!"

"If you had properly educated them and hadn't aided and abetted the evildoers, things wouldn't have come to this!"

The director waved his hand.

Two people immediately stepped forward and handcuffed the stick.

The handcuffs snapped shut.

Banggeng froze for a moment, then burst into tears.

"Alright."

"The thief has been caught."

"We should also talk about the issue of losses."

The director glanced at Li Jianguo beside him and asked a question.

"Mr. Li, do you have a rough idea of ​​how much these damaged items in your home are worth?"

Li Jianguo nodded and began to explain one by one.

"The ingredients and dishes in the kitchen were bought for me by Zhao Erlu yesterday."

"The specific price is around ten yuan."

"The mattresses in the bedroom are all made of pure cotton, and I just bought them yesterday."

"And the two books he damaged..."

With each item Li Jianguo mentioned, the Jia family couldn't help but shudder.

Madam Jia's face grew paler and paler.

Sweat beaded on Jia Dongxu's forehead.

Qin Huairu bit her lip, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.

The price has been climbing steadily.

In the end, the approximate total came to around one hundred yuan.

"About a hundred yuan."

The director nodded.

"In that case, they should compensate you for your losses."

The director looked at the Jia family as he spoke.

"You all heard what I just said, right?"

"Master Li lost a total of one hundred yuan."

"You will be responsible for compensating them!"

"Why should I?!"

Upon hearing that not only would her grandson be arrested, but she would also have to pay compensation, Jia Zhangshi immediately jumped up and began to curse loudly.

She stood with her hands on her hips, spitting as she spoke.

"The things in his house were bought directly with our money!"

"Why should I have to pay compensation now?"

"impossible!"

"Not a single penny!"

What was the situation regarding the previous compensation?

The director astutely seized upon this point and inquired about it.

Li Jianguo did not hide anything and told the story of how his home had been occupied for more than ten years.

"snort."

The director gave a cold laugh.

He sized up the Jia family members with disdain in his eyes.

"I think you're used to being domineering and tyrannical."

"Master Li asked you for 300 yuan in compensation, and that's too little!"

"Either pay me money, or come with me to the police station."

"For what you did about demolishing other people's houses, that's enough to get you locked up for three to five years!"

As he spoke, he didn't forget to turn and look at Li Jianguo.

"Mr. Li, you should have called the police and come to us directly for this kind of thing."

"You can't be soft-hearted with this kind of person."

Upon hearing that they were going to be arrested and locked up, Jia Zhangshi and the others immediately became anxious.

The fat on Jia Zhangshi's face twitched.

Jia Dongxu shrank his neck, not daring to breathe.

"pay!"

"Fine, we'll compensate you!"

When it came to losing money, Jia Zhangshi felt extremely distressed.

She slapped her thigh and began to cry.

"We have three children to raise, where would we get that much money?"

"Are you trying to drive us to our deaths?"

"Alright."

"Old lady, stop wailing here."

The director waved his hand impatiently.

"We've seen plenty of people like you."

"If you shout again, we'll go to the police station."

"You'll be released only when you hand over the money."

"Will this work?"

Jia Zhangshi's tactics were completely ineffective against the police.

Her eyes darted around and she saw her daughter-in-law beside her.

Suddenly an idea came to me.

She moved closer to Qin Huairu and lowered her voice.

"Huairu."

"You know our family's situation; we really don't have any money."

"Don't you have any ideas?"

"Mother, what can I do?"

Qin Huairu cried with tears welling up in her eyes.

She wiped away her tears, sobbing intermittently.

"Where am I, a woman, supposed to get so much money?"

His half-dead state made Jia Zhangshi feel particularly unlucky.

"Who says you can't do it?"

She suddenly slapped Qin Huairu hard across the face.

He whispered in her ear.

"Wasn't it Sha Zhu who helped pay back that three hundred yuan last time?"

"He's a bachelor, and he can't even spend all of his monthly salary."

"They're very wealthy!"

"Go find him again!"

"Mother, this..."

It's another time she's being asked to beg someone.

Qin Huairu cursed inwardly.

Looking for Sha Zhu?

She did try to ask before.

But she understood the way that fool looked at her.

That look in her eyes made her feel both smug and disgusted.

I'm proud that I have this skill.

What's disgusting is that you have to rely on this skill to make a living.

On the surface, however, he pretended to be in a difficult position.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you still a daughter-in-law of the Jia family?"

When Jia Zhangshi saw that she didn't seem very happy, she immediately started scolding her.

"Now that such a big thing has happened at home, you won't even ask for a favor or ask someone for help?"

"Then I'll give it a try."

Qin Huairu had no choice but to agree.

She lowered her head and wiped the corner of her eye with her sleeve.

Watching her walk towards Sha Zhu with an air of fragility and helplessness, like a pure white lotus flower.

Madam Jia cursed inwardly.

"A vixen!"

"My son is incredibly unlucky to have married a woman like this!"

"She's completely unchaste!"

She has such a terrible double standard.

On the one hand, they hoped their daughter-in-law would seduce other men to pay off the debt.

On the one hand, they also hoped she would be like a chaste and virtuous woman.

They really want to have all the good things.

Qin Huairu walked up to Sha Zhu.

She stopped and looked up.

Tears fell immediately, as if controlled by a valve.

"Silly Pillar..."

"Could you help me this time?"

Her voice was so soft it seemed to melt your heart.

"I'll pay you back slowly after I get paid."

"I really have no other choice..."

Sha Zhu really couldn't bear to see her with teary eyes and a pleading look on her face.

Her eyes were red, her eyelashes were wet, and her lips were trembling slightly.

His heart softened.

Grit your teeth.

I thought about my last bit of savings.

He nodded.

"OK."

"I'll cover this hundred yuan for you."

Don't worry.

Sha Zhu pulled a wad of cash out of his pocket.

That was his last bit of money.

He counted the money, took out one hundred yuan, and handed it over.

This is all the wealth he has accumulated over the years.

Now it's all been emptied out.

"Alright."

"I'll compensate you for this money."

He handed the money to Li Jianguo.

"You are not allowed to cause trouble for the Jia family from now on."

He felt a pang of regret when he took out the money.

However, the thought of being able to help Qin Huairu still made me happy.

Her gaze towards him was soft and filled with gratitude.

Just for that look in his eyes, it's worth it.

Xu Damao couldn't help but sneer at Sha Zhu's generosity.

He crossed his arms and glanced sideways at Sha Zhu.

"Silly Zhu, so you spent four hundred yuan in two days?"

"You really enjoy being ripped off, huh?"

"You've already lost your bearings just because someone sheds a couple of drops of horse urine."

He clicked his tongue twice.

"What a pity—"

"She's a married woman; there's no chance for her to be with you in this lifetime."

He paused, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

"Unless her husband dies!"

Xu Damao's words were like a bomb exploding in the middle of the crowd.

It stunned everyone.

Someone gasped in shock.

Some people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Someone secretly glanced at Jia Dongxu.

"you!"

Sha Zhu felt embarrassed and angry that his secret had been exposed.

His face turned bright red, his fists clenched tightly, and he wanted nothing more than to pounce on Xu Damao and beat him up.

Qin Huairu glared fiercely at Xu Damao.
