The residents of the courtyard were all gathering in the front yard. At first glance, it was crowded with people, and it was very lively.
The three uncles were sitting in the middle, and a square table was brought out. Most of the others were standing, and there were also old people with bad legs and feet who came out with stools.
There was a loud buzz in the yard, and everyone was talking about it. The incident of Silly Zhu stealing the chicken had already become a hot topic.
Silly Zhu stood in the crowd with a gloomy face, as if the words "Keep away from strangers" were written on his face. Not far away, Qin Huairu and her mother-in-law Jia Zhang didi gugu didn't know what to say, but their expressions were hard to tell.
What clue is coming?
The third uncle gave Su Yi a "reassuring" look, and then went on to talk to the other two uncles.
Xu Damao already knew the whole story, so he squeezed in front of Su Yi and applied eye drops to Si Zhu.
"Let me tell you, Director Su, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Silly Zhu stole this chicken. He is the only one in our courtyard who can do such a thing!" Xu Damao said, "This grandson
Essentially, he is a bad person. He is domineering and domineering on weekdays, sneaking around secretly, with pus on his head and sores on his soles, and his heart is black!"
"But he doesn't have to." Su Yi said, "If he really wants this chicken, I can give it to him. What he gave me last night was not cheap. It was enough to buy several chickens. Why do you think he had to steal it?"
"
"Then how do you explain the chicken in his pot?" Xu Damao said, "This is called irrefutable evidence, and he can't rely on it!"
Su Yi shook his head: "I still think Brother Zhuzi is not this kind of person."
"Hey, Director Su, you were deceived by Silly Zhu!" Xu Damao was heartbroken, "Ask my wife, is Silly Zhu a bad person?"
Su Yi looked at the plump young woman on Xu Damao's side.
Lou Xiao'e said lazily: "I don't think you two are good birds at all."
"Lou Xiao'e, do you really deserve a slap? Can you tell the difference between occasions?" Xu Damao was furious.
"Who do you think deserves a beating? Say one more thing!" Lou Xiao'e glared, not liking him at all.
"You...I'm too lazy to argue with you!" Xu Damao gave up angrily.
Lou Xiao'e said "cut" disdainfully and said to Su Yi: "College student, I heard that you majored in literature? Do you know Anna?"
"Anna Karenina?" Su Yi said.
"Congratulations from Lou Xiao'e +33..."
"Great, there is finally someone in this courtyard who knows about it!" Lou Xiao'e said happily, "I have read this book many times, and I have always wanted to find someone to discuss it with. College student, I will come find you someday when I have time.
Let’s have a good discussion about literary topics.”
"No," Su Yi refused, "I'm afraid Damao will misunderstand."
"Look at Mr. Su, he is very sensible!" Xu Damao said immediately, "Ezi, please stop being so careless all the time. I am a big-hearted person. Otherwise, just what you said just now will make me suspect that you have ulterior motives.
Got it!"
"What ulterior motives do I have?" Lou Xiao'e sneered, "Aren't you just afraid that I, Hongxing, will cheat on you? Karenin, be careful, I will really find someone like Lensky!"
"What driver?" Xu Damao was a little confused.
While they were talking here, the second uncle Liu Haizhong cleared his throat and spoke.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Ahem..."
Liu Haizhong looked around and said in a serious tone: "Today we have a meeting, just one topic! Su Yuanchao, our newly moved neighbor in the yard, lost one of his chickens. At this time, someone was preparing to stew in the pot.
Where's the chicken? Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's not a coincidence, right?"
"The first and third elders and I have unanimously decided to convene a hospital-wide meeting to deal with this matter. Now, I will invite the most senior elder in our hospital to preside over this meeting."
After saying that, Liu Haizhong sat back.
Silly Zhu looked disdainful and looked unconcerned.
"Let me interject." The third uncle Yan Fugui said at this time, "The second uncle just said something wrong. The chicken that was lost was not from the Yuanchao family, but from my family."
As soon as these words came out, the whole hospital was buzzing. Silly Zhu was also very surprised, and then he smiled disdainfully and said: "Third uncle, how come your chickens are put in the chicken coop at the door of Brother Chao's house? Your chickens run away to other people's homes.
Are you going to lay an egg at home? Whose egg does it belong to? Isn’t this a mess? Do you want to interpret it as “willingness”?
There was something in what Silhu said, and everyone who understood it burst into laughter.
"Desire from Yu Li +31..."
"Sinzhu, you bastard, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't tear your mouth apart!" Yu Li shouted angrily.
"Silly Zhu, are you looking for a slap in the face?" Yan Jiecheng was also very angry.
"What did I say about me? I was talking about chickens. Your own nonsense has nothing to do with me!" Silly Zhu said proudly.
Amid a burst of laughter, Yan Fugui's face was ashen and he coughed twice, saying: "Silly Zhu, ask Yuan Chao yourself if I paid him three yuan for this chicken?"
Silly Zhu was startled and looked at Su Yi.
Everyone's eyes fell on Su Yi.
Su Yi nodded and said: "This chicken was indeed bought by the third uncle. He came to me last night and said he wanted to buy a chicken. I agreed to him. The missing chicken happened to be the one I sold to the third uncle's house.
chicken, but I entrusted the third uncle to raise another chicken for me, so the cage is still at the door of my house and has not been taken away."
The scene was buzzing loudly, but Silhu was a little dumbfounded and felt bad.
The reason why he was confident just now was because he felt that the chicken belonged to Su Yi. With Su Yi's "open" personality, he would definitely not care about it. At worst, he would talk to Su Yi in private about this matter.
Big things have been reduced to small things.
So he came to the meeting with the mentality of just watching the fun and didn't think anything would happen at all.
But now that the chicken belongs to Yan Fugui's family, things will get worse.
Who in the courtyard doesn't know that the third uncle, Yan Fugui, is a man who would like to break a penny in half and spend it. Now that he has lost a chicken, how can he let it go?
Although this was the case, it was impossible to convince Silly Zhu. He sneered and said sarcastically: "It's so new. The third uncle is still willing to spend three yuan to buy chicken."
"Whether you want to give up or not has nothing to do with you! Silly Zhu, just now in front of your house, you personally admitted that you stole the chicken." Yan Fugui pointed at him and said, "Now in front of all the neighbors in the courtyard, I will say it again.
Let me ask you, did you steal the chicken?"
"No!" Silly Zhu certainly refused to admit it, "Am I crazy for stealing chickens? I am a cook. Can I do this?"
"Then where did that chicken in your pot come from?" Yan Fugui sneered, "I asked you just now and you said you bought it. Do you still dare to say you bought it now?"
Silly column said nothing.
"If you didn't buy it, where did it come from? It couldn't have jumped out of thin air, right?" Yan Fugui took advantage of the victory and pursued it.
The second uncle sneered and made up his mind: "That's not sure, maybe Silly Zhu got it back from the factory. Everyone knows that he is the cook of our steel rolling mill..."
"Hey, stop talking about this!" Silly Zhu glared, "It's nothing for me to steal a chicken in the yard. If stealing from the factory is too serious, it's called stealing public property! Then we won't hold the meeting here, we will have to hold a full meeting
There’s a factory party!”
"Haha, don't be so absolute." Yan Fugui said with a smile, "Silly Zhu, I ask you, you carry a net bag with you when you get off work every day, and there is a lunch box in the net bag. Let me ask you, what is in that lunch box?
?”
After all, he is a cultural person and knows what it means to kill with one knife.
If this idiot couldn't admit it in front of so many people, he might really be caught and it would lead to huge consequences.
Silly Zhu's face changed. Just when he was about to refute, he heard the first uncle Yi Zhonghai say: "Okay, don't talk about anything else! What happens in the factory belongs to the factory, and our compound belongs to the compound."
What's wrong! He Yuzhu, let me ask you, did you steal the third uncle's chicken? Tell the truth!"
Silhu was about to deny it, but he glanced at Qin Huairu. Seeing the worry hidden in her eyes, his heart suddenly softened. He swallowed the word "no" on his lips and said angrily: "It's me."
Steal it!"
There was an uproar.
"What do you mean it's okay!" Yi Zhonghai suddenly became angry, "If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not. Do you think the big guys in the compound will wrongly accuse you?"
"Don't add modifiers in front of it!" Yan Fugui said.
"Yes, I stole it, okay!" Silly Zhu said, scratching his head.
"Did you hear that?" Liu Haizhong stood up excitedly, "There is a big thief in our courtyard! For so long, we haven't even lost a needle or thread in our courtyard, and now we have lost a chicken. This is repayment."
OK? Let’s talk about what to do!”
"What should we do? Let's do something!" Xu Damao saw the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal. "Report directly to the police station. If you should be arrested, you should be shot!"
"Fuck you uncle Xu Damao, believe it or not, I will whip you!" Silly Zhu glared.
"You chicken thief, why are you so arrogant with me?" Xu Damao proudly put his hands on his hips, "Do you, a morally corrupt villain like you, have the right to talk to me like this?"
"Hey, if I don't deal with you today, you don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has!" Silly Zhu stood up and rolled up his sleeves.
"Hey, hey, in front of these three uncles, how dare you touch me!" Xu Damao shouted sternly from behind Su Yi.
"He Yuzhu, please be honest with me!" Yi Zhonghai shouted angrily, "I will give you one last chance. You must think clearly before answering me. This is a matter of moral character. You must know the serious consequences of this matter!
Let me ask you, did you steal the third uncle’s chicken?”
"Didn't he admit it and still ask?" The second uncle Liu Haizhong was a little reluctant.
"Then we have to ask clearly!" Yi Zhonghai looked at Silly Zhu with hatred, "If he is really a chicken thief, then his moral character is lacking! If the leaders of the factory find out, can they let him go easily? Silly Zhu
, you’d better think it through before answering!”
"Silly Zhu, you speak for yourself!" Liu Haizhong said angrily.
Yan Fugui looked at him and said: "Silly Zhu, don't say that we forced you to beat you into submission, yes it is, no it is no, no one has wronged you, you can say it yourself. To be honest, I have watched you grow up,
I don’t think you’re going to steal a chicken either. Why don’t you think about it carefully and let’s talk about it in private?”
It's not that Yan Fugui really wants to settle the matter, but he just wants Si Zhu to lose money and doesn't want Si Zhu to lose his job.
Now Yi Zhonghai, the first uncle, has informed Si Zhu of the serious consequences of this incident. If Si Zhu wants to settle the matter, he will have to pay more money.
Money is the most real thing. There is no need to force Silly Zhu to admit his crime on the spot and make the matter so troublesome that there is no room for maneuver.
Silly Zhu lost his job, which did no good to Yan Fugui.
"Why should we say it in private? That's not okay!" Xu Damao heard what Yan Fugui meant and immediately shouted, "Third uncle, you are the one who said the meeting was held, and you are the one who said the final word. Oh, we are all in the yard together.
Why are all the people playing with you? Besides, today it’s your house that lost the chicken. If you don’t catch the thief, what will happen tomorrow if someone else’s house also loses something? Do you think so?”
"Yes……"
"That's right, we can't just let it go."
"There has to be an explanation for this..."
Everyone was talking a lot.
"Ahem!" The first uncle Yi Zhonghai coughed hard and looked at Si Zhu with a stern look, "He Yuzhu, tell me, make the matter clear, and let it go from where it happened, so as not to get entangled!"
Silly Zhu looked solemn, and finally looked at Qin Huairu, gritted his teeth and said, "I stole it!"
Yi Zhonghai closed his eyes in disappointment, and the whole place was in an uproar.
"Did you hear everything? This time he admitted it himself!" Xu Damao shouted excitedly, as if he had picked up money, "This is a big thief, this is not okay! You have to send it to the police station and let the police deal with it!"
"He Yuzhu, let me ask you, did you steal the third uncle's chicken because the third uncle had offended you?" Yi Zhonghai suddenly asked.
Silly Zhu was about to shake his head when he looked up and saw Yi Zhonghai giving him a wink. He suddenly understood and said hurriedly: "Yes, the third uncle said he wanted to introduce me to someone who is his colleague and the awesome class teacher Ran."
, but there has been no movement until now. In order to take revenge on him, I stole his chicken!"
"Then the matter is very clear. He Yuzhu's stealing of the chicken is retaliation. It is not a matter of moral character." Yi Zhonghai said decisively, "He Yuzhu, you must not handle conflicts in this way. This is the first and last time.
,Did you hear that?"
"Yes, yes, I heard it." Shazhu knew that the uncle was helping him and nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, after the meeting you go to the third uncle's house, sincerely admit your mistake and apologize to the third uncle, and compensate the third uncle for the losses!" Yi Zhonghai said, "Everyone should also take this as a warning. It is normal for neighbors to have conflicts. Don't keep your head above water.
You are messing around, everyone is right, right?"
"Yes, yes, you are right..."
"No wonder he's called Silly Zhu, he's really messing around!"
"Who says it's not the case? You can't steal someone else's chicken if it offends you..."
Everyone in the courtyard believed the first man's words, which was also related to Sha Zhu's usual behavior.
Yan Fugui didn't say anything. He was satisfied with the result. The goal had been achieved. He had no grudge against Si Zhu and there was no need to offend Si Zhu by killing him.
Su Yi watched with cold eyes from beginning to end without saying a word, as if the real thing had nothing to do with him.
He didn't stand up to expose that Silhu was taking the blame for Bangge. There was no need for it. Even if Silhu was exposed, he wouldn't appreciate it. Moreover, Silhu could just take the blame if he wanted to, as long as someone compensates for the loss.
As for indulging Bangge this time, will it give him an advantage?
