Chapter 103 Stupid!

After solving the time of stealing zongzi, Gu Rao thought of his food box, and asked with a glimmer of hope, "Did Lady Bai come to return our food box today?"

Bieye shook his head.

"No."

Gu Rao was a little angry.

"What's the matter with her? Didn't she say that she returned it to us yesterday? Last night, we waited for her for a while, and we didn't come to return it until today!"

The case started.

"We're going to get the food box back now."
-
At the gate of the Wu family.

Bie Ye knocked on the door, Bai Yunju's voice came from inside the room.

"coming!"

Bai Yunju opened the door, saw Bie Ye and Gu Rao, a streak of impatience flashed across her eyes, and asked, "So it's Bie Ye, what's the matter?"

Gu Rao sneered.

"Madam Bai, didn't you say you went to your daughter's house to get food boxes yesterday?"

"It's time to get the food box back, right?"

Bai Yunju said helplessly, "I went too late last night, they were already asleep, I was sorry to disturb them, so I came back empty-handed."

Gu Rao, "..."

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? After all, they are neighbors, so don't make too much trouble. I just pay you back later, and it's not like I won't pay you back!"

"As for reminding me twice in three days?"

"It's still a business person, why are you so stingy?"

Her voice was so loud that passers-by and those who came to eat casserole rice noodles all looked here with strange eyes.

Gu Rao laughed angrily.

"You also know that we have urged you several times, but we didn't pay attention to it once. We overestimated your character before, and we shouldn't have lent you anything at all."

"I won't borrow anything from you again."

"The food box is indeed not worth a lot of money, but it is also my favorite thing. Even if it is not a favorite thing, why should others not return the things I borrowed if they don't want to?"

"That's all for now. If you haven't returned the food box before tonight, we'll go to your house and take something to pay off the debt."

After speaking, he pulled Bie Ye away.

Bai Yunju poohed at the backs of Gu Rao and Bie Ye.

"What's the air?"

"A poor man from the countryside, who rents a house to do business, really thinks he is rich? He cares so much about a food box, he really is used to being poor!"

"Snapped--"

He slammed the door shut.

Zhou Yan didn't know how long she had watched the commotion outside her house. After Bai Yunju closed the door, she walked up to Gu Rao and Bie Ye, and said twice, "I told you a long time ago, don't deal with that family. , their reputation in the whole Wild Boar Town is not very good."

"Your food box, I don't think it will come back."

"Longer memory this time, don't associate with them in the future."

Gu Rao nodded.

"Thank you, Aunt Zhou, for reminding me."

Zhou Yan smiled.

"Neighbors, why are you being polite to me?" Turning around and going back to the house, when he came out, he took two jugs of wine in his hand and handed them to Bie Ye.

"Last time, I didn't know that you were going to entertain guests. When I went to your house for dinner, I went empty-handed. These two jugs of wine are homemade. Take them back and drink."

Don't want to go back.

"Need not."

Zhou Yan insisted on delivering it to him.

"Homemade wine is worthless, so you can accept it if you don't mind. I still have a lot of laundry at home, so I won't talk to you first."

After speaking, he turned and went home.

Bieye had no choice but to accept the two jugs of wine.

Gu Rao was a little emotional.

"It's the same neighbor, how can there be such a big difference?"

Bie Ye said, "I'll put the wine in the house 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 my work! I woke up early today and asked all the people I met while eating casserole rice noodles here yesterday."

Gu Rao asked, "Did anyone witness Li Shen stealing something?"

Chen Zhong nodded.

"Zhu Hui saw that Li Shen went up to the second floor of your house while everyone was not paying attention. There were a lot of people at that time. He thought Li Shen was related to you, 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, his sleeves and chest still bulging."

"I told them that if they are willing to help you go to the Yamen to testify, you will definitely thank them well, and they agreed."

It's a bit embarrassing to say this.

"Boss Gu, I was so happy at the time that I didn't pay attention to my sense of proportion and made the decision for you. Don't be angry with me because of this."

It's too late for Gu Rao to be happy.

"You helped me so much, how could I be angry with you? Now that there are witnesses, I think he is still so quibbling. Later, my husband and I will go to the county government to sue the magistrate."

Although Chen Zhong was a little afraid of officials, he still said loyally, "If you don't mind, I am willing to go with you to the county government as a witness."

Of course Gu Rao didn't mind having one more person.

"Thank you very much then."

"You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I'll cook you a bowl of rice noodles. What flavor do you want?"

Chen Zhong took out eight Wen coins.

“Hot and sour rice noodles in a small pot.”

Gu Rao didn't take any money.

"I won't charge you this time. You can go in and sit down."

Chen Zhong chuckled and took the money back.

"Then I'm welcome."
-
After Gu Rao and Bie Ye had lunch, they closed the stall early. Thinking that they might stay in Donghuang County for a few days, they brought some salutes and went to the pier with Chen Zhong to take a boat to Donghuang County.

Li Shen, who had been hiding in the dark, panicked after seeing them leave by boat.
-
Li Shen waited at the gate of the academy for a long time, and immediately chased after seeing Bie Chengcai.

After Bie Chengcai saw him, he frowned, but he 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 you?"

Li Shen said nervously, "I'm done. Don't let Boss and Gu know that I'm the one who stole things. Now they've gone to report to the police. I'm sure I'm going to be arrested!"

Bie Chengcai looked at him with a look that was not enough to accomplish anything.

"Didn't you say that no one saw you stealing?"

Li Shen recounted how he couldn't help trying to take advantage yesterday, but not only did he fail to take advantage of it, but instead revealed his secrets, he finally complained about Zhang San and Chen Zhong's meddling.

"Both of them saw me in the store yesterday and chatted with me a few words. When the time comes to court, I will definitely not be able to quibble, nor will I be able to get rid of the suspicion."

Don't become talented and scold Li Shen to death in your heart.

idiot!

"They just saw you, and they didn't see you go up to the second floor to steal things with their own eyes. What are you afraid of? As long as you don't admit it, they can't find anything in your house, so they can't convict you."

"It will be released after a few days at most."

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 return the things?"

"It's not good for us to make a big fuss."

"I listened to your arrangement and went to their house to steal things. I only took two taels of silver. I gave you all the jewelry I stole from their house. Don't let me take the blame alone!"
