Chapter 103 Idiot!
Chapter 103 Idiot!
After finishing stealing the rice dumplings, Gu Rao thought of his food box and asked with a glimmer of hope, "Has Mrs. Bai come to return our food box today?"
Bieye shook his head.
"No."
Gu Rao was a little angry.
"What happened to her? Didn't she say she would return it to us yesterday? We waited for her for a while last night, but she didn't come back today!"
The crime started.
"We're going to get the food boxes back now."
-
At the door of Wu's house.
Bieye knocked on the door, and Bai Yunju's voice came from inside the house.
"coming!"
Bai Yunju opened the door, and when she saw Bieye and Gu Rao, impatience flashed across her eyes quickly, and she asked, "It turns out to be Bieye, what's the matter?"
Gu Rao sneered.
"Aunt Bai, didn't you say yesterday that you would go to your daughter's house to get a food box?"
"Is it time to get the food box back now?"
Bai Yunju said helplessly, "I went too late last night. They were already asleep. I was embarrassed to disturb them, so I came back empty-handed."
Gu Rao, "..."
With such a poor excuse, do you really think they are fools?
"Go get it now."
Her tone was rude.
Bai Yunju frowned.
"Isn't it just a food box? How much is it worth? We are all neighbors after all, so don't make it too ugly. I just return it to you later, but it doesn't mean that I won't return it to you!"
"As for urging me twice in three days?"
"You're still a businessman, why are you so stingy?"
Her voice was so loud that passers-by and those who came to eat casserole rice noodles all looked at her with strange eyes.
Gu Rao laughed angrily.
"You also know that we have urged you several times, but never took it to heart. We overestimated your character before, and we should not have lent you anything at all."
"I won't lend you anything again."
"The food box is indeed not worth a lot of money, but it is also my beloved thing. Even if it is not my beloved thing, why should others not return the things I borrowed if they don't want to?"
"The words are left here. If the food box is not returned before tonight, we will go to your house to pick up something to pay off the debt."
After saying that, he took Bieye away.
Bai Yunju sighed at the backs of Gu Rao and Bieye.
"What's the air about?"
"A poor person who comes from the countryside, rents a house to start a business, does he really think he is rich? He cares about a food box like this, he is really used to being poor!"
"Snapped--"
He slammed the door shut.
Zhou Yan didn't know how long she had been watching the excitement at the door of her house. She waited for Bai Yunju to close the door, then walked to Gu Rao and Bieye, and said twice, "I told you a long time ago, don't deal with that family. , their reputation in the entire Wild Boar Town is not very good.”
"I guess I won't come back with that food box of yours."
"Please remember this time and don't interact with them in the future."
Gu Rao nodded.
"Thank you, Mrs. Zhou, for reminding me."
Zhou Yan smiled.
"My neighbor, why are you being polite to me?" He turned around and went back to the house. When he came out, he took two bottles of wine and handed them to his hands.
"Last time I didn't know you were going to entertain guests, so when I went to your house for dinner, I went empty-handed. These two bottles of wine are home-brewed. You can take them back and drink."
Bieye wanted to return it.
"Need not."
Zhou Yan insisted on delivering it to him.
"Home-brewed wine isn't worth much, so just accept it if you don't mind. I still have a lot of clothes at home that haven't been washed, so I won't talk to you first."
After saying that, he turned around and went home.
Bieye had no choice but to accept the two jugs of wine.
Gu Rao was a little emotional.
"We are both neighbors, so why are they so different?"
Bieye said, "I'll put the wine in the room first."
As soon as he turned around and went back to the house, Chen Zhong came happily.
"Boss Gu, there's news!"
Gu Rao was a little surprised.
"So fast?"
Chen Zhong patted his chest and said, "Don't worry about me doing the work! I made a special trip to get up early today and asked everyone I met while eating casserole rice noodles here yesterday."
Gu Rao asked, "Has anyone witnessed Li Shen stealing anything?"
Chen Zhong nodded.
"Zhu Hui saw Li Shen go up to the second floor of your house while no one was paying attention. There were many people at the time. He thought Li Shen and you were relatives, so he kept silent."
"Liu De came in later to eat casserole. When he came, he happened to see Li Shen coming down from the second floor of your house with a bulging bag in his sleeves and chest."
"I told them that if they are willing to help you go to the Yamen to testify, you will definitely thank them properly, and they agreed."
I'm a little embarrassed to say this.
"Boss Gu, I was so happy at the time that I didn't pay attention to the rules and made the decision for you. You must not be angry with me because of this."
It was too late for Gu Rao to be happy.
"You helped me so much, how could I be angry with you? Now that the witness is here, I see that he is still so quibbley. My husband and I will go to the county government to complain to the magistrate later."
Although Chen Zhong was a little afraid of officials, he still said loyally, "If you don't mind, I am willing to go to the county government with you to be a witness."
Of course Gu Rao doesn't mind one more person.
"Thank you very much."
"You haven't had breakfast yet? I'll cook you a bowl of rice noodles. What flavor do you want?"
Chen Zhong took out eight coins.
“Spicy and sour rice noodles in a small pot.”
Gu Rao did not accept the money.
"I won't charge you money this time. Just go inside and sit down."
Chen Zhong chuckled and put the money back.
"Then I won't be polite."
-
After Gu Rao and Bieye had lunch, they closed the stall early. Thinking that they might have to stay in Donghuang County for a few days, they took some luggage and went to the dock with Chen Zhong to take a boat to Donghuang County.
Li Shen, who had been hiding in the dark, was completely panicked after seeing them leaving by boat.
-
Li Shen waited at the entrance of the academy for a long time, and immediately caught up with Bie Chengcai after seeing him.
When Bie Chengcai saw him, he frowned, but still pulled him into a deserted alley and asked in a low voice, "Why are you looking for me at this time?"
"What if someone sees me?"
Li Shen said nervously, "I'm done. Boss Don and Boss Gu know that I am the one who stole the things. Now they have reported it to the police. I will definitely be arrested!"
Bie Chengcai looked at him with a look that showed he failed to succeed but failed to succeed.
"Didn't you say that no one saw you stealing anything?"
Li Shen told the story of how he couldn't help but want to take advantage yesterday, but instead of taking advantage, his secret was exposed. Finally, he complained about Zhang San and Chen Zhong's meddling.
"Both of them saw me in the store yesterday and chatted with me for a few words. When the lawsuit comes, I will definitely not be able to quibble and get rid of the suspicion."
Don't Chengcai scolded Li Shen to death in his heart.
idiot!
"They just saw you, but they didn't see you going up to the second floor to steal anything. What are you afraid of? As long as you don't admit it, and they can't find anything in your house, they can't convict you."
"At most, he will be released after a few days of detention."
Li Shen was a little hesitant, "Is it okay as long as you don't admit it?" He was still anxious and nervous, "How about we give the things back?"
"It won't do us any good to make a scene."
"I followed your arrangement and went to steal something from their house. I only took two taels of silver. I gave all the jewelry I stole from their house to you. Don't let me take the blame alone!"
