"What should I do with his book?" Li Ke asked Chen Xingyi.
"Just wait, there is such a commotion today, and someone is more anxious than you." Chen Xingyi said.
"You mean... hmm?" Li Ke asked.
The two looked at each other and smiled, showing a perfect understanding.
Li Ke: "Put it where it belongs, and then wait and see."
Chen Xingyi: "Okay, it doesn't matter if you can't defend. Find another chance."
In the evening, Li Ke deliberately cooked something early, and then urged Chen Xingyi to take a shower and clean up quickly.
Afterwards, the two of them turned off all the lights in the house.
Stay together in the main room, waiting.
Under the bright moonlight, there is a package of books lying in the yard.
Behind the window of the main room, there are two heads hidden.
Waiting and waiting, Li Ke almost fell asleep.
Chen Xingyi gently pushed her arm, gesturing for her to look outside.
Li Ke immediately cheered up.
By moonlight.
I saw a sneaky black figure jumping down from the wall in the yard.
First he looked around, but when he didn't see anyone, he started to tiptoe inside.
After seeing the schoolbag, I was surprised.
Quickly pick it up and walk towards the base of the wall.
"It's time for the young master to appear, please come and invite me." Chen Xingyi rolled up his sleeves and ran out.
As he ran, he shouted, "Where is the little thief running?"
Chen Chen was about to call him uncle to show that he was not a thief.
All he felt was an iron hand covering his mouth tightly, making him speechless.
Then he felt someone riding on him, and fists as big as sandbags landed on him densely.
A woman's laughter can still be vaguely heard.
"Uh, uh, uh...uh." Chen Chen struggled desperately, but couldn't get away.
After a while, the person on the body seemed to be tired from the beating.
He didn't bother to cover his mouth and started to stand up and kick him.
After Chen Chen was kicked hard again, he felt that he could finally breathe.
He quickly said loudly, "Uncle, don't fight, don't... hit. It's... it's me."
It seemed like the people on the side couldn't hear it.
Chen Chen held his head with his hands and shrank into a shrimp shape.
"Uncle, hurry...stop quickly, I...I am Chen Chen."
Chen Xingyi seemed to have just heard it and stopped quickly, "What, you little thief dared to accuse my eldest nephew unjustly without telling me what he stole."
"Uncle, cough cough cough... cough cough, it's really me, I didn't steal anything, I'm here to get my book."
Li Ke, who finally had enough of the show, ran out holding back his laughter, "How's it going? Did you catch the thief?"
As Li Ke said this, he kicked the lump on the ground hard.
Under the moonlight, I could only see Chen Chen lying on the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face after being beaten. It was simply too miserable to look at.
"Auntie, don't hit me, it's me." The lump lying on the ground said weakly.
"Turn on the light." Chen Xingyi said.
"Oh." Li Ke reluctantly turned on the lights in the yard.
Under the light, Chen Chen's face was swollen like a pig's head after being beaten.
Li Ke only felt more relieved and gave Chen Xingyi a thumbs up.
"Ah, what's going on? Why is it Chen Chen?" Chen Xingyi looked shocked, his acting skills were very exaggerated.
Li Ke was also very cooperative, "Excuse me, Chen Chen, why are you here? I thought some thief came to my house to steal something, but I didn't expect it was you."
When Chen Chen saw this, he didn't understand anything.
Of course I know that I have been deceived by these two couples, and I really feel so miserable right now that I can’t express it.
"Can you still stand up?" Chen Xingyi looked concerned and tried to help him.
How could Chen Chen dare to let him help him? What would happen if he helped him out again?
"Yes, yes, don't help me." Chen Chen said loudly, while slowly and hard getting up from the ground.
"I also said that I would send the book back to you tomorrow. Since you are here too, I will take the book and send it home to you in a hurry. This book is so heavy, so don't tire me, my great nephew.
Come on, brother-in-law, please carry it on your back."
"No, no, I can just go back by myself." Chen Chen quickly refused.
That's not okay, let you go home and talk nonsense, and your mother will come to the door with you tomorrow. Isn't it annoying?
"How can that be done? It's so dark, so I have to send you off. What if you can't see the road clearly and fall into a manure pit?"
Phew, Li Ke couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Chen Xingyi's words were so damaging that he was so angry that he would not pay for his life.
Chen Chen was panting heavily and his face turned red from holding back. Coupled with the bruises and bruises he had just received from being beaten, his face looked even more exciting.
It seems that no matter how hard I refuse, I can't.
In the end, Chen Xingyi could only let Chen Xingyi carry the book and support him as he walked home.
Every time he met some random pedestrians on the road, Chen Xingyi would stop and tell the story of how he bravely caught the thief and finally discovered that he was his eldest nephew.
Chen Chen was so angry that his back molars were almost broken.
Even if he wants to walk on the small road, he has to be helped to walk on the big road.
Chen Xingyi even went too far and went to the mahjong parlor.
Now all these women know the story of how he went to his brother-in-law's house to steal things, and was even sent home by his brother-in-law himself regardless of his faults.
These eight wives are responsible for 80% of the gossip in the village. If they know it, the whole village knows it.
Chen Chen was filled with resentment and was pushed away by Chen Xingyi.
After finally getting home, Chen Xingyi told the story of what happened tonight in a more embellished way.
By the way, he also expressed his full apology for accidentally beating him up as a thief.
"My son, are you okay?" Zhao Hongxia hugged her son and checked carefully with a distressed look on her face.
The honest Chen Xinghua waved his hand, "It's okay, you didn't mean to do it. It's also strange that this guy had to go to get the book in the middle of the night and didn't leave the door."
Although Chen Xingyi doesn't like Zhao Hongxia and her son, he still has some respect for his eldest brother.
"Then I'll go home first. Brother, I'll go see my parents more when I have time."
"You just let him go." Zhao Hongxia screamed.
"Go back quickly." Chen Xinghua waved his hand helplessly.
Chen Xing turned around and left.
Zhao Hongxia wanted to seek justice for her son, but her husband was unable to do anything and could only look at Chen Xingyi's back bitterly.
Chen Xingyi felt a little sad for his eldest brother, who was hard-working, practical and capable.
It's a pity that I married a wife who is a troublemaker. She is lazy and greedy. She doesn't do any work at home and talks nonsense everywhere.
She also raised her son to be like her, without any masculinity.
As soon as Chen Xing returned home, he first turned to his parents' yard.
I told you what happened tonight without adding any exaggeration.
"You must have done this on purpose. You have been full of bad habits since you were a child. Your father will know what you are going to do when you stick your butt out." Chen Xiangdong said while soaking his feet.
"Be gentle, for your brother's sake." Li Fang said.
"Okay, I know what's going on. You, old man, go to bed early." Chen Xing left as soon as he finished speaking.
"This child..." Li Fang was also helpless.
Every family has its cupboard.
When I got home, Li Ke was still awake.
She was sitting in the main room waiting for him with a bright face.
Chen Xingyi: Where did the little thief run?
Chen Chen: Uncle, I won’t run away, don’t hit me.
Chen Xingyi: If you don’t run away, just stand and let me fight.
