Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 646 Follow-up Repair
Lieutenant Li was so angry that he could not utter a word. He shouted, "They even took the children's things. Take them back and interrogate them strictly. Find out even a single needle."

The couple was taken away. Their faces were pale as they left. Yan Bugui muttered, "I'm not a thief. I just wanted to take advantage of you."

"You dare to take advantage of us. Let me tell you, if you can't get your things back, you'll be shot." The soldier who was escorting him said angrily.

Sister Wang felt extremely guilty at this time. Brother Liu shook his head and said to Captain Li and Sister Wang, "Forget it. You don't need to find someone to take care of the brothers and sisters. We can arrange it ourselves. You don't need to worry about what's going on here."

Brother Liu said hello to Wang Zhan and left in a hurry with his men.

When everyone else had left, Sister Wang held Wang Zhan's hand and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Wang Zhan, it's all because of your Aunt Wang's ignorance of people that you have been wronged."

Wang Zhan quickly said, "Aunt Wang, this is none of your business. I didn't keep an eye on it. It's really okay. I didn't even notice it. If Brother Liu hadn't come, I really wouldn't have known anything about it."

Sister Wang looked at Wang Zhan who was a little anxious and said, "It seems that you and your sister are both very innocent children. There are all kinds of people in Beiping now. You must be careful when you do things and judge people. You can't trust everyone."

Wang Zhan nodded obediently and said, "I understand, Sister Wang, don't take it too seriously. It's those two people who are wrong. It has nothing to do with you."

Sister Wang smiled, patted Wang Zhan's head, and said, "Okay, you don't have to comfort me. I can't escape this punishment. I have to go back to the Military Control Commission first. You close the door."

Sister Wang left, and Wang Li looked at her brother and asked, "Brother, why did they steal our things?"

Wang Zhan thought for a moment and said, "I don't know either. Maybe it's because we are young and easy to fool. Come on, I'll take you to read a book and tell you a story."

Wang Zhan took his sister straight back to the study, not taking the matter seriously at all.

As soon as Brother Liu returned to the office, he called Uncle Li, reported what had happened in Wang Zhan's family, and asked Uncle Li for instructions on what to do next.

Uncle Li was silent for a while on the phone, then said, "You did the right thing. We should not intervene in this matter. Let the comrades of the Military Control Commission handle it themselves. The market is still unstable, so we have to be careful. As for Wang Zhan and his sister, I think of someone. Do you still remember the Monkey King?"

Brother Liu's eyes lit up and he said, "How could I not remember him? He was in the same unit as me. You're talking about the legendary chef squad leader Qi Dasheng."

Uncle Li went on to say, "He has been discharged from the army due to a leg injury. He should be idle at home now, waiting for the next assignment. You go find him and tell him about the situation. He is alone now anyway, so ask him if he is willing to move in and take care of the children."

Brother Liu immediately said seriously: "Okay, Chief, I'll go right away."

In the evening, in the front yard of No. 95 Courtyard, Jia Zhang was describing the arrest of Yan Bugui and his wife to the neighbors in the front yard with great excitement. At this time, the people from the steel mill were coming back from get off work. Yi Zhonghai listened to a few words and scolded Jia Zhang, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. Did you see it with your own eyes? I can believe you when you say Yan Bugui is greedy for petty gains, but I don't believe you when you say he stole other people's things. Does Yan Bugui have the guts to do that? Don't spread rumors and ruin the reputation of the courtyard. When our courtyard is notorious, will your son still be able to get married?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately shut her mouth. In this street, reputation is very important. If word spread that there was a thief in the yard, everyone in Nanluoguxiang would know about it tomorrow.

Yi Zhonghai also frowned, turned around and called Liu Haizhong, and went directly to the deaf old lady in the backyard. After a while, He Daqing and Xu Fugui were also called there.

Several people discussed one topic, which was how to protect the reputation of this courtyard house. After much discussion, they came to the conclusion that there was only one way, which was to make the matter of Yan Bugui a small one.

After much discussion, they came up with several ideas to attack at the same time. First, ask the school leaders to come forward to guarantee Yan Bugui. At least Yan Bugui was well-behaved in school. Second, ask the neighbors in the compound to jointly guarantee that Yan Bugui was not a sneaky person and behaved well. There must be a misunderstanding here. Third, see if they can ask the directors of the steel mill to come forward. After all, Hongxing Primary School was also affiliated with Hongxing Steel Mill.

After everyone finished the discussion, several people took their separate actions. The deaf old lady sat there listening to the discussion. She didn't say a word from the beginning. She just watched everyone leave and muttered, "You don't even look for the roots, but you insist on looking for branches and leaves."

Since hearing about this, Li Cuilan has been a little worried about the brother and sister. She wanted to go and see them, but she was afraid that Yi Zhonghai would have some opinions, so she just sat in the room, feeling a little irritated. At this time, the deaf old lady walked in directly, squinting at Li Cuilan. Li Cuilan stood up and asked, "Madam, why are you here? What's the matter?"

The deaf old lady looked at her with a smile and asked, "How are those two children? Do you like them very much?"

Li Cuilan immediately calmed down and said quickly, "How is that possible? We only met for a day and we didn't say a few words."

The deaf old lady looked at Li Cuilan and didn't ask any more questions. She just sat there. After more than ten minutes, she stood up and walked out, muttering to herself as she walked: "It's not easy for Old Yan. He has a family to support. Now his family is ruined. What a sin." Before she finished speaking, she disappeared.

After hearing what the old lady said, Li Cuilan felt a little sympathy for the Yan couple, but then she thought that the old lady wanted her to help Yan Bugui and his wife as well.

She sat for a while, then simply tidied up the room, closed the door and left the courtyard, heading straight for Wang Zhan's house. When she reached the gate, she hesitated for a moment, but still went forward and knocked on the door. Wang Zhan's voice came from inside, asking, "Who is it?"

"I am your mother Li." Li Cuilan replied.

Wang Zhan opened the door. Li Cuilan saw Wang Zhan and Wang Li open the door for her. Wang Zhan quickly let Li's mother go to the yard and closed the door. Wang Zhan held Wang Li's hand and walked in with Li Cuilan.

At this time in the front yard, there were two people from the Military Control Commission busy. They were checking things with lists. Li Cuilan looked into the house curiously and was shocked to find that the east wing was empty and most of the things in the west wing were missing.
