I think we should not call the police, we should handle this matter ourselves."

"How can I not call the police? What if I delay and the thief escapes? What about my loss? Will you compensate me, sir?" Wang Hongtao naturally refused.

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and said, "Tell me what you lost first and then we'll decide whether to call the police."

"How would I know this?

I saw a thief break into the house, but I never went in. How can I catch the thief if I destroy the scene?" Wang Hongtao said lightly.

"You can follow your advice and not call the police, but you will be responsible for finding what is lost!"

Yi Zhonghai suddenly lost his temper. He had just sent fifty people to the hospital and the patient hadn’t recovered yet. Now he wanted him to pay again?

"Let me consider."

Hearing Wang Hongtao talking about evidence and protecting the scene, Yi Zhonghai suddenly thought of something and stretched his neck to look into the house.

Hmm? These footprints???

Yi Zhonghai immediately understood Wang Hongtao's idea.

This kid wants to make things bigger and take the opportunity to send Banggeng to jail!

Yi Zhonghai was in a dilemma. If he could see it, how could the police see it? When the police came, the first thing they would ask was the children in the yard. Bang Geng would definitely not be able to escape it!

"First, tell me what's in your room. Everyone saw the truckload of stuff you moved in yesterday. You said you didn't have any money or tickets in the hospital just now."

Yi Zhonghai was afraid that Wang Hongtao would ask for too much, so he made a special reminder.

“I don’t have money but my Big Hat brother does.

I'm planning to renovate my house, and I went to Big Hat Brother to borrow fifty dollars yesterday, right, Big Hat Brother?

I hid the money very well, I put it under my pillow so it won't get lost!"

Xu Damao:? ? ?

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and realized that Brother Lao Wang was planning to do something bad, so he hurried to help.

You have to know that old man Yi Zhonghai often bullies me, so I won't let go of this rare opportunity for revenge.

"Yes... that's what happened! I thought Wang Hongtao was a driver, and fifty yuan would only last a month, so I just lent it to him.

Right, brother?"

Wang Hongtao gave Xu Damao a thumbs up.

Yi Zhonghai's forehead was covered with black lines: "Tell me what else you lost!"

"It's only 20 kilograms of rice and 20 kilograms of flour. As for the tables and chairs, I think there are so many people in the yard that thieves would not dare to take them."

Wang Hongtao calmly doubled the amount of rice and flour. No one would believe it if it was more, so this amount was just right.

After saying this, Wang Hongtao looked around.

Xu Damao stood in the middle of the crowd trying hard to hold back his laughter, Lou Xiao'e was cracking melon seeds, the second uncle, the third uncle and others had serious expressions, and the rest of the people were just eating melons with great interest, including Sha Zhu.

That bastard Shazhu was hiding aside, gloating over someone else's misfortune, his mouth almost stretched to his ears.

I told you not to donate money to Sister Qin! You got robbed now, right? You deserve it! It would be best if the fifty dollars were all stolen and can't be recovered!

Banggeng, who usually watched the fun most actively, was nowhere to be seen at this moment, which just confirmed Wang Hongtao's guess.

"What do you think, uncle? Should we report this to the police or not? Once you have made up your mind, we should act quickly to avoid losing our reputation before the thief is caught!" Wang Hongtao urged with confidence.

"No report! Let the hospital handle it!" Yi Zhonghai said word by word with a gloomy face.

"What about the things I lost???"

"I'll help you find the thief. If you can't find him, I'll pay for it! Is that okay?"

Wang Hongtao smiled brightly: "What a generous old man! He took the initiative to take on the responsibility of catching the thief in order to protect the reputation of our courtyard. Neighbors, let's applaud him together.

"Quack, quack!"

Xu Damao was the first to respond: "Good! Great job, uncle!"

The others were unaware of the truth and were also led by Xu Damao.

“Clap, clap, clap…” There was applause from the audience.

Yan Bugui seemed to have thought of something, but since Yi Zhonghai didn't care about him, he naturally wouldn't say it out.

"Uncle, please go first."

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

Knowing that he had made money, Wang Hongtao showed great respect to Yi Zhonghai.

"Second uncle and third uncle, you two can come in too."

"As for the others, just wait outside. The house is small so we won't invite you in."

After entering the house, it was Liu Haizhong who first discovered it and shouted in surprise: "Old Yi, look at these footprints, the thief must be a child!

Only a child would do such a damned thing as wasting food!"

"Both our Tiehuan and Old Yan's Ruihua said that no outsiders came in. We just need to call the children in the yard to find out who stole it!"

Liu Haizhong's IQ was rarely online, and he was shouting and yelling at the side.

"Shut up, Lao Liu. I am responsible for what happened today. Whether I can catch the thief is my own business!"

"Old Yi, why are you like this? I'm doing this for your own good!" Liu Haizhong was a little indignant. He obviously meant well, and he didn't think his analysis was wrong at all.

Seeing this, Yan Bugui became more certain of his thoughts, and couldn't help but feel envious of Wang Hongtao: This kid is so lucky, if only it was his own house that was robbed.

Yi Zhonghai walked into the bedroom with a fluke mentality, and when he looked under the pillow, he found that there was nothing there, so he threw the pillow back onto the bed.

Looking at the flour jar and the rice jar, there was only a bottom layer left, about two or three pounds.

Wang Hongtao scratched his head, as if he had remembered it wrong. He originally bought five kilograms of each item, so this meant that he had cheated Yi Zhonghai out of thirty kilograms of grain.

Forget it, thirty kilograms is thirty kilograms. I’m a rich man anyway.

"Well, uncle, did you figure out anything? Otherwise, we should report it to the police. After all, fifty yuan plus thirty kilograms of food is not a small amount."

Wang Hongtao looked like he was concerned about Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai waved his hands at Wang Hongtao as if he was shooing away a fly.

He didn't want to say a word to Wang Hongtao now. He understood that Wang Hongtao had tricked him.

But he had to bear this loss!

If Banggeng was sent to jail, he believed that Wang Hongtao would definitely put the blame on himself.

He could even imagine the scene:

Wang Hongtao argued in a servile manner that he didn't know the things were stolen by Banggeng, and that it was an uncle who supported him in reporting the matter to the police.

How could his uncle not know if he, a newcomer, didn't understand Bang Jokes? So he should blame the uncle!

Then Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu, Banggeng, and even Shazhu would transfer their hatred towards himself.

This kid is so bad!

"Okay, Wang Hongtao, you don't have to say anything. I already know who took the things. I will talk to him alone later and get the things back."

"I'll make up for the missing items first. Fifty yuan plus thirty-five kilograms of rice and flour, right? I'll give you the money and tickets."

"Take it!"

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai turned and left.

Chapter 33 Big Hat Brother's Show of Good Will

After everyone left, Wang Hongtao hid Yi Zhonghai's money and tickets and went to Xu Damao's house happily, taking the wine and snacks he had just bought with him.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking Yi Zhonghai's defense, the defense breaking degree is C level, and he gets 50 perspective points, and an additional reward of two big black cards, and the level fitter skill]

Wang Hongtao frowned. Level 2 fitter? Who is he looking down on? Yi Tianjun is really cunning. He is only level C even though the wheel is on his face. It seems he needs to work harder next time!

Yan Bugui went back and reviewed the whole incident, and finally came to a conclusion: Yi Zhonghai instigated Wang Hongtao to donate money in the hospital, which caused his dissatisfaction. After returning to the courtyard, Wang Hongtao discovered that his house had been robbed, so he took advantage of the situation and extorted money from Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to endure it in order to protect his friend.

High, it is high!

Fifty dollars is easily in hand!

Yan Bugui is not someone else. He happened to see the surprise on Xu Damao's face when Wang Hongtao said that he borrowed money from Xu Damao, so he concluded that the matter of the fifty yuan was a fabrication and that Wang Hongtao had lied. However, Yi Zhonghai had to admit it in order to save his life.

No, I have to have a good relationship with the guy in the backyard from now on. Even if I don’t take advantage of him, at least I can’t be cheated by him!

……

Yi Zhonghai returned home angrily.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, an aunt hurried forward to comfort him.

"eventful!"

"What can I tell you about a woman's family?"

In front of outsiders, Yi Zhonghai was very caring towards Auntie and stayed with her for decades even though she was unable to have children.

But behind closed doors, Yi Zhonghai has a completely different face.

"Go outside and buy me a plate of cooked meat. Don't let anyone see me!"

Not long after the lady left, Yi Zhonghai calmed down.

The money was indeed taken away by Wang Hongtao, but the party at fault in this matter was actually Bang Geng.

As long as he handles it properly, he can also earn enough gratitude and favors from Qin Huairu and the Jia family.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai was not so angry anymore.

……

With the leftover chicken and the cooked vegetables brought by Wang Hongtao, Xu Damao didn't have to prepare anything else. Simply stir-frying the cabbage was enough.

While Xu Damao was cooking, Wang Hongtao was not idle either. He kept making eyes at Lou Xiaoe and acting shamelessly, which made Lou Xiaoe feel embarrassed and angry. She wished she could give him a good beating.

But Xu Damao couldn't make too much noise outside, so he just turned his head away and ignored him.

Seeing that Lou Xiao'e ignored him, Wang Hongtao looked at Xu Damao's house.

The house was passed down from Xu Damao's father. Xu Damao said that his father passed the projectionist position to him, and then the couple went to the countryside to earn work points.

But Wang Hongtao felt that he was mostly forced by Xu Damao.

In the original drama, in order to deal with Sha Zhu, Xu Damao even said something like let his father kill himself in front of Sha Zhu, and then he would call the police to arrest Sha Zhu.

Later, the debt problem made his father so angry that he died, and his mother so angry that she fainted!

Xu Damao could clear himself of the charges of intercepting Sha Zhu and reporting Lou Xiao'e's family, but these two things could never be cleared up.

Of course, those are all off-topic and have little to do with Wang Hongtao. At most, they can alleviate his guilt for conquering Lou Xiaoe. He feels that he has let Xu Damao down, but not much.

I said at the beginning that Wang Hongtao has no moral integrity and his moral bottom line is quite flexible.

Of course, no matter what, Xu Damao's father left Xu Damao a considerable fortune.

Take this house for example. Although it only has two rooms, it is an orthodox west wing. The area is no smaller than Wang Hongtao’s three rooms, and it is even more spacious.

The walls were painted clean and refreshing, all 72 legs were in good condition, and there was a Diamond brand radio. Compared to the top configuration of that era, the only thing missing was a sewing machine, but that was because Lou Xiao'e didn't know how to use it and was too lazy to buy one.

So there is a reason why this kid can get so many first bloods.

Bring the girl home and see, wow, so many good things? If we can be together, won’t we live a fairy-like life?

Plus, this guy is a projectionist with great eloquence, a lot of sweet words to say, and he looks good too. How many girls can handle all this?

If someone like Xu Damao were to live in the future, he would be a career elite with a monthly income of 50,000 yuan, a decent job, and the ability to speak eloquently and make young girls happy. It wouldn't be too easy for him to have several girlfriends.

Just as Wang Hongtao was looking at him, Xu Damao had fried the cabbage and heated up the chicken and brought them over.

"Brother, what are you looking at so seriously?" Xu Damao asked enthusiastically.

"Brother Damao, everyone says Shazhu's house is the main house in our courtyard, but compared to your house, it's nothing!"

Xu Damao often invites me to dinner, so it is only natural that I should say a few nice words to make him happy.
