Wu Youde returned to the middle courtyard happily holding a pot of clivia.

"Hey brother Zhuzhu, you came back early enough!"

He Yuzhu was already waiting at the door of his house. There was an iron basin on the bench in the verandah next to him. It was full of cut potato gnocchi, as well as some onions, ginger, garlic and other seasonings.

"Brother Angkor, you are back. I have prepared all the things. We will start cleaning up when you come back!" He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"That's daring."

Wu Youde laughed, pushed open the door, and said, "Zhuzi, why don't you come into the room? What are you waiting for me to do? Just start doing it. The meat and rice are all in the room, don't you know that?"

"Where can it be done?"

He Yuzhu shook his head repeatedly, "This is your home. How can I go in if you are not here? That would be a thief!"

"What are you talking about? Brother Zhuzhu, why can't you and I still worry about you?"

While talking, Wu Youde went to get the meat and said, "Zhuzi, steam the rice."

"okay!"

He Yuzhu put down the potatoes in his hand and went to steam rice excitedly.

He was the one who steamed the rice yesterday. He knew where Wu Youde's rice was kept, but when he opened the rice vat, he was stunned.

"what?"

"Angkor, where's the rice? Did you put it somewhere else last night?"

Hearing this,

A smile appeared on Wu Youde's lips, knowing that he had expected him.

He smiled and cursed: "I'm sick. It's fine in the tank. Where should I change it? What's wrong? I can't find it?"

"Let me take a look."

"Hey??? Where's my rice?"

Wu Youde was really shocked when he saw that the rice vat was empty, with not even a grain of rice left.

How greedy is this?

Just steal, and you'll end up stealing everything, not a single grain left.

Are you afraid that you won’t die from eating it?

Wu Youde was shocked and said in a deep voice: "There was still half a tank of rice yesterday. Did you also see the pillars yesterday?"

"Yes, yes, this is really strange."

He Yuzhu nodded, also looking confused.

"Brother Wu, are you back?"

At this time, He Yuyu ran in jumping up and down, with an excited face, "Are we still having braised pork today?"

"Yes, there is meat! Angkor, go and see if the meat is there." He Yuzhu reacted and urged loudly.

Yes, the meat is gone!

Wu Youde frowned and his anger welled up, "Zhuzhu, do we often lose things in our courtyard?"

"No, this is impossible!"

"Then where did my meat and rice go?"

"..."

Wu Youde sighed, "It's my fault too. If I had known, I should have locked the door."

"I'm sorry, Sister Yuyu, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat braised pork today..."

"Brother Zhuzi, you'd better take the potatoes back, alas!"

A sigh made He Yuzhu's face turn red, and he was so ashamed that he could hardly lift his head.

He is a long-time resident of this courtyard. Although this incident has nothing to do with him, he still feels very embarrassed.

Moreover, he is also a victim in this matter!

Yesterday, they agreed to eat braised pork with potatoes today. He had been thinking about this all day long, and even ran away early in the afternoon to buy some big potatoes from the vegetable market.

Just waiting to show off my skills and have a big meal in the evening!

But now, the meat has been stolen and the rice is gone...

What the hell is this?

"Brother Angkor, this matter is not over yet!"

"Don't worry, I'll give you an explanation for this matter. I want to see which little kid is so tired of living that he dares to steal things in the yard. See if I catch him and don't break my hand!"

He Yuzhu ran out with a roar and headed straight for the opposite door.

Opposite was Yi Zhonghai's house. He didn't go in even when he reached the door. He stood there and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"One big uncle, one big uncle, one big uncle!!"

"Come out, sir, there is a thief in our courtyard!!"

Yan Bugui was startled as soon as he walked into the middle courtyard and shouted: "What? Is there a thief?"

"Third uncle, you are here too. There is a thief in our courtyard. Go and call the second uncle over!"

Hey, He Yuzhu is also quite good at summoning people.

However, how smart is Yan Bugui? Can he just be an errand boy?

He stood still, pretending not to hear, and asked: "Whose house was robbed, and what was lost?"

"A large piece of meat and half a jar of rice were lost in Angkor's house."

"What???"

Yan Bugui almost jumped, his voice broke, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "The braised pork that night..."

“There’s no meat left, and we’re still eating crappy braised pork!”

"Si Zhu'er, please call Lao Yi out quickly. I'll call Lao Liu. This matter is very serious and of a very bad nature!!"

Yan Bugui immediately rushed towards the backyard.

……

In an instant, the entire courtyard became lively.

The first uncle stood in the middle, the second uncle and the third uncle stood on both sides, listening to Wu Youde tell the whole story.

He Yuzhu added on the side and acted as a witness.

So is He Yuyu.

With the testimony of the two brothers and sisters, no one doubted that what Wu Youde said was false.

I really lost a large piece of meat, at least five kilograms, which is still the best first-class pork; and half a tank of rice.

Everyone in the courtyard was talking about it, with expressions ranging from excitement, anger, or pity.

"First uncle, second uncle, and third uncle, why don't we just forget about it..."

"It's my fault too. I shouldn't think that the courtyard is very harmonious and the neighbors are harmonious. If I had locked the door, this wouldn't have happened."

Wu Youde said to everyone: "I'm sorry to disturb you today. Everyone should go back and do their work."

"Hey! Youde, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Bugui was the first to retort, saying angrily: "It's not your fault. Not only you, but our houses also don't lock the doors."

"Things are lost because of thieves, it doesn't matter whether the door is locked or not!"

Wu Youde glanced at him and said to himself, "You don't lock the door, mainly because the third aunt is at home."

If no one is home, why don't you lock the door?

Then I'll twist off my head and use it as a ball for you to kick!

Wu Youde looked troubled and asked: "Then what should we do about this matter? Third uncle, how have we dealt with this matter before in the courtyard?"

"before?"

Yan Bugui shook his head, "This has never happened before!"

"Youde, you may not know that our courtyard is a famous model courtyard in the street. We have won the first prize several times. If you don't believe me, ask your uncle."

Wu Youde looked at Yi Zhonghai, who had been silent since coming out and had a gloomy face.

"There will be no thieves in our courtyard!"

Hey?

Wu Youde was delighted. Did the Moral Heavenly Lord not believe in him, or did he have an opinion against him?

Probably both.

After all, he had occupied the house that Jia's family had chosen, and his wishful thinking had failed. It was no wonder that he felt so comfortable.

Wu Youde nodded and sneered: "In that case, we might as well just call the police."

"Let the police investigate and find out whether it's me, Brother Zhuzi, Sister Yuyu, or we are lying, or there is really a thief."

"This way everyone can feel more at ease. Otherwise, I'm afraid they'll all be on tenterhooks in the future, and they won't even dare to go out without two locks on the door."

"Brother Zhuzi, why don't I trouble you to run over?"

The veins on Yi Zhonghai's forehead jumped sharply, and he said sternly: "Silly Zhu!"
