Zhou Huilan didn't bother to pick up the key to open the door, grabbed the door of Teacher Yan's house, and rushed in with a single stride.

It's so suspenseful, it's so scary that it scares people to death.

Zhou Huilan leaned against the entrance door of Teacher Yan's house, breathing heavily.

Only then did Teacher Yan wake up and see Zhou Huilan.

"Mother Yaoyao, what are you..."

Zhou Huilan waved her hands tiredly, holding her belly and walked to the window. She saw Lu Changqing holding a strange man's arm in the small garden below, and the box of gold was next to it.

What shocked her even more was the thin hemp rope hanging on the balcony of her bedroom. Apparently the man who fell into the small garden wanted to run away from the small garden with the gold in his arms, but the box of gold was too heavy.

Just fell down.

Removing the arm was a skilled job. Lu Changqing had already patted his arm and stood up.

Zhou Huilan quickly shouted, "Changqing, there is another one outside! Outside the door!"

When Lu Changqing heard this, he looked up and saw Zhou Huilan lying on the window sill of Teacher Yan's house. His heart was so frightened that he almost jumped out of his chest. "You go in first. I will chase you out and take a look. By the way, call the police. You can sit here at Teacher Yan's house for a while."

After saying that, he entered the back room.

Zhou Huilan didn't go immediately. From the balcony, she vaguely saw the man she had tripped over just now staggering out and yelled with all her strength, "Someone come quickly! Catch the thief! The thief is running away!"

At noon, there were no people in the community.

The thief was pretending to be walking out, but when he heard Zhou Huilan shouting, he started running.

When he arrived at the gate of the community, he was stopped by the security guard. However, at such a distance, the security guard did not hear Zhou Huilan's shouting. It was just that the thief felt guilty and hesitated to answer the question. In the end, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, pushed the security guard away and ran away.

This was all what the security guard said when Lu Changqing asked about it later.

The thief caught by Lu Changqing was in a worse situation. He didn't have a phone at home, nor did Teacher Yan's house. If he wanted to call the police, he had to go to the security room. Lu Changqing originally tied him up with the rope tied by the thief.

But after Zhou Huilan came back, she said she was watching at home and asked Lu Changqing to call the police.

Afraid that the thief would be restless, Lu Changqing walked to the door and turned back. With a lift and a button, he removed both arms of the thief.

"This way, you won't be afraid of him hurting you."

Lu Changqing nodded with satisfaction, took the box of gold back to the bedroom, and then went to the door of the community to call the police.

The police came quickly and took away the thief. Lu Changqing also followed suit and took notes.

During this period, Zhou Huilan had been worried about another thing.

The thief had a clear goal when he came to his home, and he clearly watched the couple go out before coming in. He obviously stayed nearby.

The thieves who entered the house like this were obviously not accidental, and they went straight to the box of gold with a clear goal. Zhou Huilan had to suspect that they were the ones found by the old man Duan Zhenghong.

So Zhou Huilan was worried that the thief would take the gold matter to the police station.

After all, during this period, although Duan Zhenghong had been complaining to various departments non-stop and causing trouble for Zhou Huilan, due to Zhou Zhenhai's personal network and Huang Hanqing's help, he was not able to actually make any big splash.

And no matter how much trouble Duan Zhenghong made, all he said was that he wanted to return to his ancestral home, and he never mentioned the box of gold.

Duan Zhenghong was obviously not idle when he found that the clear road was blocked, and he started to make other mistakes.

That afternoon, Lu Changqing came back from Songbai Street before three o'clock, and he went there only after lunch.

Zhou Huilan was lying at home and hiding, and was surprised when she heard some movement.

"Why are you back at this hour?" Lu Changqing's main job is still a doctor, and the drug store on Songbai Street is always open. It doesn't matter if he doesn't go to the clinic in the morning. He only went there at noon and will be back in two or three hours.

It's too perfunctory.

Lu Changqing went into the bathroom and washed his hands, took off his coat, and then sat beside Zhou Huilan's bed, putting on a mysterious look, "Guess, what did the old man come up with?"

Zhou Huilan shook her head in confusion. Seeing Lu Changqing pretending to be profound, she patted him coquettishly and said, "What? Tell me quickly!"

"He found a group of aunts from nowhere, and they blocked the entrance of the courtyard and cried in mourning. They said they were sorry for the nightmares that our ancestors had all night long, which made the whole street unsafe."

Zhou Huilan's eyes widened in shock, "Then no one cares?"

"Of course there are. There are residents on the street who also called the police. However, they only started making trouble this morning. The police came to persuade them. Mr. Duan hugged the police and cried, saying that he was sorry for his ancestors. After so many years of wandering, he finally came back.

Lost the ancestral home or something."

After all, the Duan family is a wealthy family, and someone as aloof as his mother-in-law, how could Duan Zhenghong do such a shameless thing?

"Then you came back in such a hurry just to tell me this?" Zhou Huilan felt that Lu Changqing was not such a gossip.

Unexpectedly, Lu Changqing smiled even more mysteriously, "Duan Zhenghong didn't go to your square courtyard this time. He cried on Songbai Street and said that he could not violate the national policy decision back then, but he has been outside these years.

I also made some money, so I want to buy my old house back from the neighbors, so that I can be worthy of my ancestors."

"Buy it back?" Zhou Huilan covered her mouth in shock, "How much will it cost to buy such a big house?"

At this time, Zhou Huilan's thinking was actually biased. Because she had witnessed the era of skyrocketing housing prices and the rise of tourism culture, Songbai Street had become a peaceful landmark tourist center. She subconsciously felt that that place was very valuable.

But in fact, houses in these days are not that valuable, and ordinary people can buy one square meter with one month's salary.

In addition, the old house of the Duan family was originally divided into a mess and was actually used as dormitories for employees of state-owned hotels. In 1990, the state required individuals to pay to privatize the property. Of course, those who had money paid, and those who had no money naturally paid.

Just dragging.

Therefore, the property rights of the Duan family's old residence and many other houses are still in the hands of the state.

"Tell me, does Mr. Duan want to..." Lu Changqing said, pointing meaningfully at the wooden box under the bed.

Zhou Huilan's heart tightened, why didn't she think of this!

According to her, the small courtyard where her mother-in-law lived during her lifetime was the courtyard where the young couple lived when they got married. However, it was not the entire courtyard. One of the original three large tile-roofed houses was divided into one, and only half of the courtyard was given to her.
