At this time, Liu Haizhong was still standing in the courtyard holding the five dollars.
Seeing all the residents with their mouths closed, Liu Haizhong also began to wonder if he had thought wrong.
Could it be that everyone was asleep last night and really didn't see who smashed the glass in his house?
Just when the atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely tense, Jia Zhang rushed out of the house in a furious manner. There was a proud look on her face, as if she had mastered a huge secret.
"I know who smashed the glass of Liu Haizhong's house!" Jia Zhang shouted loudly, her voice echoing in the yard.
When Liu Haizhong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly walked forward. "Do you really know? Tell me who it is."
But Mrs. Jia Zhang calmly raised her chin and held her hands in front of her chest. "Huh, you want me to tell you? That's not that easy. You have to give me the five yuan first."
When Liu Haizhong heard this, his face immediately darkened. "You want money before you say anything? What if you say nonsense?"
Jia Zhang curled her lips and said, "I won't talk nonsense. I definitely know who smashed it. If you don't give me money, I won't tell you."
Liu Haizhong stomped his feet in anger, "Aren't you cheating? Tell me first. If it's true, I will definitely give you the money."
But Jia Zhang shook her head resolutely, "No, you give me the money first. Otherwise I won't say a word."
The two started arguing like this, and the sound became louder and louder. Liu Haizhong's face turned red. He felt that Jia Zhang was going too far. Jia Zhang, on the other hand, looked stubborn. She determined that as long as she persisted, Liu Hai would
If you win, you will definitely get money.
Other people in the yard watched their quarrel, some shook their heads and sighed, while others watched the excitement. Qin Huairu stood aside with a look of helplessness. She tried to persuade Jia Zhang, but Jia Zhang didn't listen at all. Bangge
He watched excitedly from the sidelines, feeling that his family would soon have five yuan.
Silly Zhu was staying in the house, but he was alarmed when he heard the quarrel outside getting louder and louder. He walked out slowly with his hands behind his back, and frowned at the two people who were at war with each other in the yard.
Someone nearby quickly told Si Zhu what happened. When Si Zhu heard this, his eyes immediately fell on Jia Zhang. He looked at Jia Zhang with suspicion and said: "Jia Zhang, you really know who smashed it."
Did you steal the glass from Uncle Liu’s house? I’m warning you, there is no evidence, so don’t talk nonsense and don’t try to defraud money.”
When Jia Zhang heard what Silly Zhu said, she was immediately unhappy. "Silly Zhu, what do you mean? Why did I just cheat the money? I really know who did it."
Silly Zhu snorted, "Then tell me, who smashed it? If you are right and there is evidence, then Uncle Liu will definitely give you money. But if you talk nonsense, don't blame me for being rude."
Jia Zhang felt a little guilty after being forced by Silly Zhu, but she still said firmly: "I... of course I have evidence, it was Yan Jiecheng who smashed it."
Silly Zhu shook his head, "You have no evidence, so you can't talk nonsense. Why did Yan Jiecheng smash the glass of Uncle Liu's house? You have to come up with something real."
Jia Zhang saw that the situation was deadlocked, and the five yuan seemed to be getting further and further away from her, and she became more and more anxious. In order to get the money, she started to tell nonsense.
"Silly Zhu, everything I said is true. I saw it with my own eyes when I went to the toilet last night." Jia Zhang said it with seriousness, as if it was really the case.
Silly Zhu frowned, his face full of distrust. "Don't make it up. You can see so clearly at night? Besides, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Jia Zhang rolled his eyes and quickly explained: "I just remembered it. I wasn't sure at the time. Later, I heard that Uncle Liu offered a reward, and I was sure that it was Yan Jiecheng who did it."
Silly Zhu sneered, "Your reason is really far-fetched. Let me tell you, Mrs. Jia Zhang, if you continue to talk nonsense, be careful that I will be rude to you. Uncle Liu must find out this matter, and we cannot let you unjustly accuse people casually.
"
However, Mrs. Jia Zhang did not give up and continued to quibble: "I did not accuse him unjustly, it was Yan Jiecheng who smashed it. I could see clearly that he took a brick and smashed the glass of Uncle Liu's house in one go."
When Liu Haizhong heard what Jia Zhang said, although he still had doubts in his heart, he also felt that this was an opportunity. He stared at Jia Zhang closely and asked: "Since you saw it, are you willing to follow me to the third uncle's house?"
testify?"
When Jia Zhang heard that she was going to testify at the third uncle's house, her heart suddenly beat. She knew that Yan Jiecheng was not someone to be trifled with. If she went to testify herself, what if Yan Jiecheng retaliated against her? Thinking of this, Jia Zhang shook her head quickly.
Said: "I... I don't dare to go. If Yan Jiecheng knew that I was the witness, he would definitely beat me."
When Liu Haizhong heard this, his face darkened. "If you don't go, then don't even think about getting the money. I'm looking for the person who smashed the glass in my house. Since you know it but don't dare to testify, then why should I give you the money?"
?”
When Jia Zhang heard that Liu Haizhong wouldn't give her money, she immediately became anxious. She hesitated for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "Just go, I'm still worried about whether Yan Jiecheng will succeed?"
Liu Haizhong looked at Jia Zhang's panic and greedy look, and sneered in his heart. He knew that Jia Zhang agreed to testify for money, but he couldn't care so much. As long as he could find the person who smashed the glass, let him
He compensates for the losses and is willing to try any method.
Liu Haizhong brought Jia and Zhang to the third uncle's house in a menacing manner. As soon as they entered the door, the third uncle was startled by the sudden battle.
The third uncle's eyes widened and he looked at them in astonishment. "Old Liu, what are you doing? Why did you bring Jia and Zhang here?"
Liu Haizhong snorted coldly and said: "Third uncle, Jia Zhang said that she saw Yan Jiecheng smashing the glass of my house with her own eyes. I brought her here to ask Yan Jiecheng to give me an explanation."
When the third uncle heard this, he waved his hands quickly and said, "Old Liu, don't listen to her nonsense. If you didn't break the glass, don't make trouble here."
But Liu Haizhong was reluctant, "She has seen it with her own eyes, how can she still lie? Yan Jiecheng must admit it today, otherwise this matter will not be over."
The third uncle frowned and said, "Everyone knows who Jia Zhang is, and her words cannot be trusted. Old Liu, please calm down, we can't just accuse people unjustly."
When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard what the third uncle said, she hurriedly said: "Third uncle, I really saw it. It was Yan Jiecheng who smashed it."
The third uncle glared at Mrs. Jia Zhang fiercely, "Don't talk nonsense here. Jie Cheng is always at home, why would he smash the glass? You must be trying to cheat money."
Mrs. Jia Zhang was told what she was thinking, and her face showed a trace of panic, but she still said firmly: "I didn't cheat money, I told the truth."
The third uncle looked at Jia Zhang's rogue look and was very angry. "Old Liu, take her away quickly and don't make trouble in my house. It's impossible to smash the windows of your house. If you continue like this, everyone will be banned."
peaceful."
Liu Haizhong stood in the room of the third uncle's house, stubbornly insisting on looking for Yan Jiecheng. "We must call Yan Jiecheng out today. I want to see how he explains."
At this time, the third aunt also hurriedly walked out of the back room. With an anxious look on her face, she looked at Liu Haizhong and said: "Old Liu, what are you doing? If it's impossible to smash your glass, then you can
Stop making trouble here."
But Liu Haizhong couldn't listen to Third Aunt's persuasion at all, "Third Aunt, it's not me who wants to make trouble, it's Jia Zhang who saw it with her own eyes. Yan Jiecheng must give me an explanation."
The third aunt turned to look at Mrs. Jia Zhang, her eyes full of suspicion. "Ms. Jia Zhang, you can't talk nonsense. This is not a trivial matter. It would not be good if you were wronged and found guilty."
Jia Zhang felt a little guilty, but for the sake of the five dollars, she still had to bite the bullet and said: "I didn't say nonsense, I really saw it. It was Yan Jiecheng who smashed it."
The third aunt sighed helplessly, then turned around and continued to persuade Liu Haizhong. "Old Liu, even if Jia Zhang said she saw it, it may not be true. Can she see clearly at this night?
?Don’t listen to her words.”
Liu Haizhong frowned and said, "We can't just let it go. My glass can't be smashed in vain."
The third aunt looked at Liu Haizhong's stubborn look and knew that she couldn't persuade him for a while. She had to say: "Then you can't be so impulsive. Let's discuss it carefully and see if there is any other way to solve this matter.
thing."
Liu Haizhong didn't want to discuss it. He just wanted Yan Jiecheng to admit that he smashed the glass and compensate for his losses. "There is nothing to discuss. We must let Yan Jiecheng come out today."
The third aunt and the third uncle looked at each other with helpless expressions.
Yan Jiecheng heard the noise outside in the room, and a strong doubt surged in his heart. He clearly remembered that when he went to smash the glass of Liu Haizhong's house last night, he deliberately chose a time when everyone was likely to be asleep, and he
He also carefully observed his surroundings to make sure no one saw him.
"How could Mrs. Jia Zhang see me? It's impossible." Yan Jiecheng frowned and muttered to himself. He began to think back on his actions last night, going through every detail in his mind. He was sure
He didn't reveal any flaws, nor was he discovered by anyone.
"Is Mrs. Jia Zhang lying?" Yan Jiecheng thought of this and felt a little more at ease.
Yan Jiecheng became more and more uneasy as he thought about it in the room, and finally couldn't help but rush out. As soon as he appeared, everyone's eyes were instantly focused on him.
When Liu Haizhong saw Yan Jiecheng coming out, he immediately pointed at him and said to Jia Zhang, "Jia Zhang, please testify in front of everyone whether he smashed the glass in my house."
Jia Zhang was also a little nervous at this time, but when she thought of the five yuan, she plucked up the courage, pointed at Yan Jiecheng and accused loudly: "It's him, Yan Jiecheng smashed the glass of Liu Haizhong's house. I went to the toilet last night
I saw it with my own eyes.”
Yan Jiecheng's eyes widened and he looked at Jia Zhang with anger. "You are talking nonsense! When did I smash the glass of Uncle Liu's house? You are slandering me."
But Jia Zhang did not flinch and continued: "I'm not talking nonsense, it was you who smashed it. Don't deny it."
Yan Jiecheng was so angry that he was trembling all over. He turned to Liu Haizhong and said: "Liu Haizhong, don't listen to her nonsense. I didn't smash your glass at all. She just wanted to defraud you of your money."
Liu Haizhong looked at Yan Jiecheng's excited expression and had some doubts in his heart. But Jia Zhang said so definitely that he had to believe it. "Yan Jiecheng, if you didn't smash the glass in my house, why did Jia Zhang identify you? You
You have to give me an explanation."
Yan Jiecheng blushed with anxiety and said loudly: "Liu Haizhong, you can't listen to her. Jia Zhang has a grudge against my family, and she is deliberately framed by me."
When Jia Zhang heard what Yan Jiecheng said, she immediately became furious, pointed at Yan Jiecheng and cursed: "You little bastard, how dare you say that I framed you? I saw you smashing the glass with my own eyes, and you still want to deny it. You are just a
You're a bad person, you usually don't do good things, but now you smash someone's window, you should be arrested."
Yan Jiecheng was furious when he was scolded by Jia Zhang, "You old witch, you are talking nonsense. When did I smash the glass? You just want to defraud Liu Haizhong of his money. People like you deserve retribution."
Silly Zhu watched the quarrel between Yan Jiecheng and Jia Zhang becoming more and more fierce. Seeing that several people were about to fight again, he quickly stepped forward to stop him. He frowned and said loudly: "Stop arguing! If we continue to argue, we will solve it."
No problem. Jia Zhang, if you don’t have actual evidence, you can’t explain that Yan Jiecheng smashed the glass of Uncle Liu’s house.”
Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment after being yelled at by Silly Zhu, but she still said unwillingly: "I just saw it, why is it not evidence?"
Silly Zhu shook his head and said: "You can't just say you saw it. You have to have specific evidence, such as what clothes Yan Jiecheng was wearing when he smashed the glass and what he was holding. You have nothing, just your mouth
Say, who can believe it?”
Jia Zhang was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer. She secretly regretted it. If she had known better, she shouldn't have rushed out so impulsively to identify Yan Jiecheng. Now that she was asked this question by Silly Zhu, she also felt that her words were somewhat untenable.
Yan Jiecheng took the opportunity to say: "That's right, if you don't have evidence, don't talk nonsense. I didn't smash the glass in Liu Haizhong's house at all."
After hearing what Silly Zhu said, Liu Haizhong's anger was ignited again. He felt that he had been fooled by Yan Jiecheng and cheated by Jia Zhang, and he was furious for a moment. He clenched his fists and was about to rush forward to fight Yan Jiecheng.
"Yan Jiecheng, you bastard, I have to teach you a lesson today." Liu Haizhong roared angrily.
Just when his fist was about to fall on Yan Jiecheng, Sha Zhu had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed Liu Haizhong's fist. Sha Zhu was so strong that Liu Haizhong struggled a few times but couldn't break free.
"Liu Haizhong, calm down. If you dare to make trouble, I will send you to the police station." Shazhu warned seriously.
When Liu Haizhong heard that he was going to be sent to the police station, he was immediately frightened. He knew that if he entered the police station, he would be in trouble. He put down his fist helplessly and glared at Yan Jiecheng.
"Humph, you are lucky today. But this matter is not over yet, I will definitely find evidence." After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he turned around and went home.
Everyone in the yard looked at Liu Haizhong's leaving figure and breathed a sigh of relief.
Silly Zhu also breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, there was no fight, otherwise it would have been really time for Li Dong to make a self-examination.
