My courtyard shelter

Chapter 330: Concealment

"Thank you, Auntie. As long as you don't blame me, I'm willing to pay any medical expenses. Read М"

The young man seemed very excited.

"Young man, Auntie doesn't need you to take care of her anymore. Go back to work and don't delay your work." Auntie Xu was very generous.

"Auntie, the police will be here soon. I won't leave until I finish taking the statement. Don't worry, I will definitely take responsibility to the end."

Fortunately, it was just a minor fracture, otherwise he would never be able to turn over in his life.

A few minutes later, Lao Qin arrived with his subordinates.

"Lao Xu, I heard that Auntie woke up?"

Xu Dong nodded, stepped forward and shook hands with the other party: "She just woke up not long ago, Lao Qin, thank you very much this time."

"I told you not to be polite, we all owe you a favor!"

Xu Dong nodded, and then introduced his father to the other party.

After a brief greeting, Lao Qin began to take the statement.

The course of events was very simple, and the perpetrator did not shirk responsibility, so the statement was done quickly and was completed in less than half an hour.

Xu Dong personally sent the man downstairs to the hospital.

"Lao Qin, can the thief who stole the manhole cover be caught?"

Lao Qin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There was a sandstorm this morning, visibility was too low, and the surveillance footage was blurry. It is estimated that it will be difficult to solve the case. Don't hold too much hope."

And there is one more thing that was not mentioned. The other party used tools such as cutting machines. It was obvious that the gang committed the crime at a glance. The method was very professional.

Since the beginning of this year, as the overall environment has become more difficult, tens of thousands of cases of manhole cover theft have occurred in the city one after another, causing many tragedies in succession.

It was just unexpected that these criminals became more and more daring and actually stole in the city center, making it hard to guard against.

"Alas, you said it's not raining now, so why not just seal the manhole cover and leave a few important exits at most." Xu Dong complained.

Lao Qin waved his hand:

"It's not that easy. There are many homeless people living in the sewers. If a fire breaks out and the manhole cover is sealed, who dares to take the responsibility?"

Xu Dong patted his head: "I almost forgot if you didn't say it."

"I heard that the higher-ups are planning to strengthen daytime patrols. Lao Xu, we'll probably be busy again this time." Lao Qin reminded in a low voice.

"Come again?" Xu Dong was surprised.

The last Xianbeilia fire, he was busy for more than two months and didn't go home much.

"The security situation has deteriorated a lot recently."

Lao Qin didn't say much, just explained it briefly, and everything was self-explanatory.

"I understand."

...

At the same time, Yang Lina finally prepared lunch. Due to the rush of time, lunch was very simple, and she made two dishes.

One was fried bacon with garlic, and the other was steamed eggs.

In addition, she also made a pot of porridge for her mother-in-law. The doctor said that in Xu's case, it would be best to eat some light food.

After instructing Xiao Zhang to pick up the two sisters Keke from school, Yang Lina went to the kindergarten to pick up Dabao and his three brothers.

"Mom, why are you here? Where is my grandma?"

Dabao looked confused, as grandma usually picked them up from school.

Yang Lina asked her sons to walk in front hand in hand, and she followed behind and answered:

"Grandma went to her aunt's house."

Xu's mother not only had injuries on her legs, but also on her face. Her whole face was swollen. She was afraid of scaring the children, so she could only delay it for a while.

When the swelling subsided, she would take them to see grandma.

This was also what Xu's father meant.

"When will grandma come back?" Erbao asked immediately.

"It will probably take several days!" Yang Lina was vague.

Dabao looked unhappy: "Why does it take so long?"

"Your aunt is sick, and grandma has to go over to take care of her."

"I want to call grandma."

"Grandma is very busy now and has no time to answer the phone. Can we call in the evening?"

Xu Ma's cell phone is still at home, and she will help take it over later to avoid being exposed.

"Okay!" Dabao nodded and agreed.

Back home, Yang Lina quickly arranged for the three brothers to have dinner. Although there were only two dishes, the children still ate happily and were not picky at all.

After a while, the Coco sisters also came back.

The twins are not so easy to fool, and Yang Lina did not intend to hide it from them. Xu Ma's injury looked a little scary, but it was not too serious, so it would be okay to tell the two of them.

By the way, she can also help her share more housework.

"Grandma had a car accident this morning and broke her leg, but she's fine. Your grandpa and dad are accompanying her in the hospital."

Keke was surprised and said, "Ah, how could this happen?"

"Mom, I want to go to the hospital to see grandma." Lele looked worried.

Usually, the old couple would respond to the requests of the children at home, and the children also liked their grandparents very much.

"Your grandma's car is too small and the safety is too poor. Your dad is very regretful now. He would not have bought a car if he had known it earlier! Well, don't worry about it, both of you. Go to eat quickly and go to the hospital with mom later."

"Yeah!"

The two sisters nodded obediently. Something big happened at home, even Lele knew it, and now was not the time to be willful.

"By the way, don't tell Dabao about your grandma. Talk about it later. Remember it and don't let it slip." Yang Lina reminded.

"I know, mom."

After lunch, Yang Lina stuffed several biscuits into the pockets of the three brothers, and then immediately sent them back to the kindergarten.

There are many things to do next and I can't take care of them for the time being, so I can only resort to this last resort.

Seeing that there were many more snacks than usual, the triplets were very happy, especially Dabao. The little guy had long wanted to save a few more cookies for Niu Niu.

Unfortunately, his mother was strict, so he never had the chance.

After sending Dabao and his three brothers away, Yang Lina took the two sisters, Keke, and each of them carried a thermos bucket in their hands, one for Xu Dad and Xu Dong, and the other for Xu Mom.

The distance was very close, and they arrived in less than ten minutes.

The mother and her two daughters came to the ward. The twins looked at their grandmother's miserable appearance and rushed to the bedside.

They cried out.

Xu's mother showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and touched the heads of her granddaughters one by one:

"Why are you crying? Grandma is still alive!"

"Grandma, why did you become like this? It hurts so much!"

Lele said while wiping her tears.

"Grandma doesn't feel any pain, it will be fine in a few days."

Keke said distressedly: "Grandma, Mom said you have to stay in the hospital for at least a month, and you lied to me and my sister?"

"Okay, Grandma won't lie to you, it really doesn't hurt."

Mother Xu pretended to be relaxed.

Yang Lina turned her back and wiped away tears.

After finally calming down the twins, Mother Xu and others started to eat lunch.

Although the lunch was simple, the aroma of the food still successfully attracted the attention of other people in the ward, and everyone looked over here one by one.

Mother Xu ate very slowly and had no appetite. In the end, there was still half a bowl of rice porridge left.

Xu Dong adhered to the principle of not wasting, but he ate too much, which made Yang Lina scold him.
