He Yuzhu naturally recognized the person who had appeared.
It was the deaf old lady.
He was the oldest and most senior person in the courtyard house.
Her words carried a lot of weight, and First Uncle and the others had to listen to her.
"The old lady is here!"
Everyone hurriedly stood up to welcome him.
First Uncle, who was sitting at the head of the table, and Second Uncle and Third Uncle, who were sitting on the left and right, also stood up.
"Old Madam, why are you here?" The second aunt went up to help him.
The old lady ran straight to the first uncle and the others.
"Are you all talking about the pillar? So many people are bullying him?" she questioned.
" Old Madam, you've misunderstood," First Uncle explained with a smile." We didn't bully him. We were just discussing the matter."”
Third Uncle said," Who dares to bully him? He scolds whoever dares to bully him. He scolds them very badly."”
"Not only did he scold people, but he also hit them. Look at what he did to Xu Damao.”Second Uncle added.
They were complaining in front of the old lady.
Although the old lady's hearing wasn't good, she could still hear it clearly.
The old lady turned to look at He Yuzhu with a kind smile and said,"I understand Silly Zhu. He is a reasonable person. He wouldn't scold people for no reason, and he wouldn't hit people for no reason. There must be a reason! Silly Zhu, don't you think so?"
"Yes, Old Madam." He Yuzhu nodded.
The old lady was one of the few good people in this courtyard house.
Although she was old, she was reasonable and understanding.
It was very cute and respectable.
"Old lady, Silly Zhu stole our chicken. We are all discussing this matter and seeking justice for me!”Xu Damao said loudly.
The old lady heard him clearly and asked He Yuzhu,""Zhu Zi, Xu Damao said you stole his chicken?”
"No, he wronged me!" He Yuzhu shook his head vigorously.
An elder said," Old Madam, the situation is like this. Xu Damao's family lost an old hen, and Zhu Zi's family was stewing chicken. He didn't admit that the chicken was stolen from Xu Damao's family. He only said that someone gave it to him, but he didn't say who gave it to him. We can't eliminate his suspicion. We can't allow such a thing to happen in our courtyard.”
"You said Zhu Zi stole Xu Damao's chicken?”
After hearing it clearly, the old lady laughed loudly.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!”She shook her head repeatedly and said," How is Zhu Zi like? We live in the same courtyard as him and have been together for so long. How can we not know? Why would he steal from someone else? There must be a misunderstanding."
"Old Madam, you can't judge a book by its cover!”Xu Damao said.
"The problem now is that he doesn't want to say who gave him the chicken. It's difficult to convince the public.”Third Uncle said.
"Old Madam, I didn't say it because it's my private matter. I don't want to tell others," said He Yuzhu.”
"It's your freedom if you don't want to say it. You have the right to not say it. You said that he stole Xu Damao's chicken, but that's just a suspicion. There's no real evidence. The police also need real evidence to handle cases. How can we casually accuse a good person?”
Hearing the old lady's words, they were not convinced, but they were too embarrassed to refute her.
He Yuzhu only felt warmth in her heart.
This large group of people was really not as sensible as an old lady in her eighties or nineties.
While they were talking, the stick man walked over with his two younger sisters, Xiao Dang, and Huai Hua.
"Brother, that beggar's chicken is really delicious. When can we eat it again?”Little Dang said.
"Uncle Damao still has one, so if brother steals it, we'll have something to eat."”
"What nonsense are you talking about? Keep your voice down. Don't let the adults hear you.”The stick meme said hurriedly.
Although their voices were low, someone still heard them.
"The chicken was stolen by a stick. Huai Hua and Little Dang just let it slip!”someone shouted.
The moment these words were said, there was an uproar as everyone looked at the stick meme and the others.
"Nonsense, I didn't steal Uncle Damao's chicken!”The stick guard's face was red as he said nervously.
"You said you stole it, yet you still don't admit it?" The locust flower was so small, she wouldn't lie!”
"Aiyo, little brat, so it was you who stole my chicken!”
Xu Damao reacted and rushed over to grab the stick.
"No, I didn't steal it!" The stick meme shook his head and denied it.
Xiao Dang and Huai Hua, who were following behind, were frightened and did not dare to speak.
"Xu Damao, what are you doing?" Qin Huairu ran over and said angrily," Didn't Silly Zhu stew the chicken? Why did you malign a child?"
The person who had just "reported" said,"It was made into Beggar's Chicken with a stick, not the one that was stewed at Silly Zhu's house!”
"Nonsense!" Qin Huairu roared at him.
"I didn't say it. It was your Huai Hua who recruited her. Could it be that she was lying?"”
"Huai Hua, what nonsense are you talking about? Why would your brother steal Xu Damao's chicken?”Qin Huairu berated Huai Hua.
" Mom..." Huai Hua was frightened and did not dare to say anything.
However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was something fishy going on. Otherwise, the three siblings wouldn't have behaved like that.
A classic guilty conscience.
After a child was exposed for doing something wrong, it was difficult to hide his expression.
"Little Dang, tell me, what's going on?”the First Uncle asked seriously.
Little Dang's body trembled slightly. She looked at her mother, then at the stick, and finally at the first uncle.
" Grandpa Yi, that chicken…My brother didn't steal the chicken from Uncle Damao's chicken coop. The chicken ran out and was caught by him. Then…Then he made beggar's chicken and the three of us ate it…" Little Dang stammered as he answered.
As soon as she said that, everyone broke into an uproar.
At this point, the truth was revealed!
"Xu Damao, listen carefully. Who stole your chicken?! Did you wrongly accuse a good person?" He Yuzhu asked sternly.
Xu Damao turned around and looked at him, speechless.
"The truth is out. It turns out that the chicken was stolen by the stick, not Silly Zhu.”
"You're so bad. You're stealing other people's things at such a young age. What will happen when you grow up? You have to discipline him."
"This child has always been dishonest. I've long discovered that he has the habit of stealing. He once sneaked into my house to take food.”
"He also entered my kitchen."
……
Everyone started discussing.
"Qin Huairu, what else do you have to say? Even your Xiao Dang admitted that my chicken was stolen by a stick. The chicken was out of the chicken cage, but that's not a reason to steal it and make beggar's chicken! Then what was going on when an old hen that could lay eggs was made into a beggar's chicken?!”Xu Damao said angrily.
"Awesome, did you really do this? How could you do such a thing? What did Mom teach you?" Qin Huairu asked.
The stick guy looked up at He Yuzhu, who was standing silently at the side.
"It was him….. it was Silly Zhu who asked me to steal it!”He pointed at He Yuzhu and shouted.
