I'm begging for a wave of collections, gifts, flowers, good reviews, monthly votes, and support. I'm counting on everyone!
……
After Li Anran calmed down, she picked up the carrying pole and walked quickly toward the courtyard.
There was nothing he could do. The sky was already a little dark. When he passed by the courtyard, he could see people washing dishes. It was obviously past mealtime.
"Oh no, junior apprentice-brother can't see me, so he'll definitely be anxious.”Li Anran's expression changed, and he quickly quickened his pace.
As a result, when he walked into the courtyard while panting, he was surprised to find that the courtyard was filled with people.
" This is..." Looking at this scene, Li Anran had a very familiar feeling.
"Little Senior Brother, you're finally back.”He Yuzhu, who was sitting down, immediately stood up." If you don't come back soon, I'll have to go to the police station to report it."”
" Junior Brother..." Xu Damao was unhappy before Li Anran could finish his sentence." Silly Zhu, don't change the topic. We're trying to find out that you stole a chicken. Don't think that you can escape just because your senior brother is here. Sit down and tell us the truth!"”
Upon hearing this, Li Anran looked at the people sitting in the courtyard, especially the First Uncle, Second Uncle, and Third Uncle sitting at the square table. She immediately understood why this scene was familiar to her. Wasn't this the plot of the beginning of Love in the Courtyard where the little widow knew about it but let He Yuzhu take the blame?
Junior Brother, what's going on?" Li Anran put down the carrying pole she was carrying." What stealing chicken?”
" About this..." He Yuzhu's expression was very complicated.
"Silly Zhu, you dare to do it but you don't dare to admit it, right?”Xu Damao really wanted to see this pair of brothers fall out with each other. He stood up and looked at Li Anran." I raised an old hen to lay eggs. When I came back today, the chicken was gone.”
"Then guess what? Your junior brother's stove was stewing a chicken. If he didn't steal my chicken, who else could it be?”
"Xu Damao, you're getting excited, aren't you? Do you really think I don't dare to beat you up?”He Yuzhu immediately choked back.
Xu Damao was shocked, but he was not afraid after looking at the people in the courtyard.
"What I said is the truth!"
"Wait a minute!" Li Anran opened her mouth at this time. Then, she looked at the people in the courtyard who were either familiar or unfamiliar." Neighbors, as an outsider who just arrived, I shouldn't interfere blindly, but there's something I have to say.”
At this point, Li Anran cupped his fists at First Uncle, Second Uncle, and Third Uncle.
"First Master, Second Master, Third Master, I don't know if I should say something.”
"As long as it's reasonable, tell me!" the First Uncle said.
"That's right. As long as it's reasonable, just say it.”Third Uncle quickly agreed.
"That's right. If you have something to say, say it." Second Uncle was a step slower.
This was the benefit of the previous etiquette. Otherwise, Li Anran probably wouldn't have the right to say anything.
"Thank you for your help." After Li Anran was done with her etiquette, she looked at the neighbors." Just now, this Comrade Xu Damao said that his chicken was lost. Then, my junior brother stewed a chicken, so he stole the chicken.”
"Let's not talk about whether my junior brother is really that stupid. He stole someone else's chicken and actually stewed it in front of them. Xu Damao's logic just now didn't make sense. He was obviously being unreasonable.”
"What doesn't make sense? What's unreasonable?”For some reason, Xu Damao suddenly panicked.
"Because according to your logic, anyone who eats chicken today in this neighborhood is a suspect!”Li Anran bent down and lifted the bamboo hat on the bamboo basket.
After removing the bamboo hat, Li Anran reached out and took out the old hen that he had bought.
"Comrade Xu, according to your logic, could the chicken I just bought be stolen from your house?”
"Ah, this?" Xu Damao looked at the chicken in Li Anran's hand and didn't know what to say for a moment.
After all, he also knew that it was a question mark whether He Yuzhu stole the chicken or not. However, with their past grudges, if He Yuzhu didn't steal it, he would have stolen it, unless he could produce evidence.
"This chicken isn't the one from our house.”When Xu Damao was dumbfounded, Lou Xiao'e opened her mouth," Our chicken is not this color, and your chicken is fatter than mine.”
"Junior Brother, who is this?" Li Anran pretended not to know him.
"This is Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao's wife.”He Yuzhu quickly introduced.
"So it's sister-in-law." Li Anran politely changed the way she addressed him." Thank you, sister-in-law, for testifying for me. Otherwise, I would have become a thief too."”
Looking at that handsome face and the temperament that was obviously different from that of this era, Lou Xiao'e's heart trembled for no reason.
Seeing that the atmosphere wasn't right, Xu Damao immediately couldn't stand it.
He didn't see anything unusual about his wife. He just felt that this matter wouldn't be covered up by Li Anran's words.
This was a rare opportunity to teach He Yuzhu a lesson. Xu Damao, who was usually bullied, was not willing to miss it.
"Wait a moment!" Xu Damao glared at his wife before looking at Li Anran and He Yuzhu." Even if you didn't steal this chicken, your junior brother is still a suspect, and the biggest suspect!”
"Comrade Xu Damao, I can understand that you must be very anxious after losing a chicken.”Li Anran had an empathetic expression on her face." If I were to lose a chicken, I would also feel very distressed. You have to know that this old hen of mine costs me 1.50 yuan per catty. It's indeed very expensive!”
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the people in the courtyard changed.
1.5 RMB per catty. This old hen looked like it weighed more than three catties, which meant that this chicken was worth five RMB.
This was five yuan!
The school fees for a semester were only 2.5 yuan, and he and his sister only had 5 yuan for a semester.
That was not all. There were obviously other things in the basket. There were quite a lot of them.
At this moment, the entire courtyard's impression of Li Anran changed greatly. He was handsome, rich, polite, and spoke in a cultured manner. His voice was clear and pleasant to the ears. The eyes of many girls in the house changed.
"However, Comrade Xu Damao, have you heard of the old saying, catch the traitor and catch the thief? Unless you have clear evidence that the chicken my junior brother stewed is the one from your family, we are not afraid even if we call the police!”
Li Anran's last sentence was spoken in a sonorous and forceful manner. With that handsome face of his, whether it was Lou Xiao'e, the little widow Qin Huairu, or even the other young ladies and daughters-in-law in the courtyard, they all looked at Li Anran with a strange gaze.
