Jia Dongxu smashed it down with a stick.
"I told you not to steal."
The person inside the sack was Jia Zhangshi.
It hurt her so much she kept groaning.
He covered his head, curled up, and tried to reveal his identity.
But before he could even speak...
Another round of punches and kicks ensued.
"Beat them! Give them a good beating, and see if they dare to come back again!"
"You all have a death wish, daring to steal things here!"
"If we catch them today, we won't hesitate to strike!"
"Crack!"
"Clang!"
They were already old and frail, and these young men nearly broke their bodies.
Yan Bugui was in so much pain he almost cried.
He huddled inside the sack, covering his head.
Of the four people inside, he was the only man. It would be so embarrassing if he were recognized.
But if they were kept covered in sacks, they might get beaten to death.
If I were to die here like this, wouldn't that be too unjust?
Then he shouted, "Yan Jiefang, I'm your father!"
Yan Jiefang was kicking with great enthusiasm.
I couldn't hear what he was saying at all.
"Keep fighting, and see if you dare to come back again."
接着又（中转是37一17顿噼29里11啪9）啦。
suddenly!
Jia Dongxu felt that the cotton shoes on the person's feet looked so familiar.
These tattered cotton shoes, aren't they damn good?
Then I heard her sobbing inside.
The voice sounds so familiar.
It sounds like his mother crying.
He turned to Qin Huairu and asked, "Is my mom home?"
"Didn't see it!"
"Where did she go?"
"She's not home in the middle of the night, maybe she's on a date with some old man, how would I know where she went?"
What if it really is his mother? Wouldn't that be like a son hitting his mother?
Jia Dongxu couldn't help but pull open the sack.
He never imagined that the person inside was his mother!
He grabbed her arm and said, "Mom!"
When the others saw that it was Jia Zhangshi, they were all stunned.
"Aunt Jia, how could it be you?"
"Could it be true, as your daughter-in-law said, that you colluded with another man to steal things from the courtyard in the middle of the night?"
See them stop.
Yan Bugui hurriedly climbed out of the sack.
"It's me! Help! Stop hitting me!"
What the hell!
The person in front of me was actually Yan Bugui.
When the older woman and the younger woman climbed out of the sack, panting heavily.
Everyone was shocked again!
They weren't outsiders at all; it was people from the courtyard who stole the He family's things.
Look at how bruised and swollen they are.
They are both pitiful and hateful!
Yan Bugui saw that his son wouldn't even lend him a hand.
"Was it you who hit me just now? Hurry up and help me up."
Yan Jiefang had no intention of paying any attention to him.
"You have the nerve to steal from the He family and even want me to pull you down?"
"Who said I stole anything from them? I just saw that the kitchen door was open and wanted to go inside to take a look."
The other women also joined in denying it.
“We didn’t steal anything. Which eye of yours saw us steal anything?”
“No matter what, we are the elders in the courtyard, how could we steal his things?”
"What in his house is worth stealing, worth breaking into in the middle of the night?"
Even at this point, they still refused to admit their mistakes.
It seems they feel embarrassed and want to get away with it.
no way!
He pulled half a pork knuckle out of Yan Bugui's arms.
"What is this?"
When Yan Bugui was arrested, he quickly put the remaining half of the pork knuckle into his pocket.
Unexpectedly, He Hongyang discovered it.
"Pork elbow".
"You're not going to say this is your family's pork knuckle, are you?"
Yan Bugui pushed up his glasses and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's my family's."
"So you mean tonight, in the middle of the night, you took your family's pork knuckle and went to visit our little kitchen?"
He just finished speaking.
"Pfft!"
He couldn't help but laugh out loud from his bangs.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
They went to the He family's small kitchen to steal food!
They are thieves!
Fortunately, his wife didn't go along to join the fun.
Otherwise, when he gets home, he'll definitely break his second aunt's legs.
Yan Bugui still wanted to argue.
"belch--"
I ate too fast and was startled like that, so I choked and started hiccuping.
"Since you don't want to admit it, then we'll send you to the police station and let Chief Ma interrogate you properly to see if this pork knuckle was something you brought from home or something you stole from mine."
“Theft is a crime that not everyone can bear. If it is proven true, not only will your workplace know, but your son’s school will know, and the whole neighborhood will know.”
Yan Bugui was scared!
He didn't want to be publicly criticized for eating half a pork knuckle.
Jia Zhangshi, who was standing to the side, was trembling all over.
She didn't want to go to the police station, and she didn't want to be locked up anymore.
He immediately admitted his mistake: "We went to your small kitchen today to steal something!"
"Please don't call the police! Please don't come and arrest us!"
"I was wrong. I was wrong about everything, it was all because of my mouth. I shouldn't have been tempted by your braised pork knuckle, and I definitely shouldn't have gone into your kitchen!"
Jia Zhangshi lowered her head, wishing she could slap herself twice.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Yan Bugui also apologized.
"The pork knuckle belongs to your family. I only took a bite just now, so I'm returning it to you!"
The three older women and the one older woman saw this situation.
I know He Hongyang is a man of his word.
Perhaps he could forgive them if they simply admitted their mistake.
He kept apologizing.
"We were so hungry that we couldn't sleep at night, which is why we came up with this idea."
“We (Zhao De) all live in the same courtyard. Please don’t call the police, and don’t tell anyone about this. Otherwise, how will we save face?”
They still know how to save face.
If they had any sense of shame, they wouldn't have done something like this.
Liu Haizhong felt that he finally had a chance to make a name for himself.
Previously, Yi Zhonghai was a stumbling block.
Of all the people of his generation, only he and his wife didn't go.
Doesn't this just prove that the Liu family has strict family discipline and good upbringing?
He gestured wildly and said, "Even if you're ravenous, you shouldn't steal other people's things."
“He Hongyang, you too, we’re all neighbors, why don’t you know how to share? If we divided these lunch boxes among the families, this situation wouldn’t have happened.”
"They disturbed everyone in the hospital in the middle of the night! Aren't they going to let us get some sleep?!"
When did it become his place to point fingers and give orders?
He Hongyang scoffed, "Since you make it sound so easy, why don't you just take out your things and distribute them to everyone?"
"We have nothing at home."
"Aren't you supposed to be the highest-paid person in the courtyard house?"
"That's just wages, we don't have pork knuckle at home."
"Then let's just distribute the wages among everyone."
"I earned my salary, why should I share it with everyone?"
"The pork knuckle belongs to my family, so why should I share it with them?"
He couldn't utter a single word despite his bangs being torn apart.
Looking at her three sons, she said, "Say something, why are you all mute?"
They also wanted to say something.
But how could he have mentioned He Hongyang?
