Lu Fan's firm attitude caused an uproar among everyone present.
In the entire courtyard, no one had ever dared to challenge Sir System's authority. In the past, He Yuzhu had never dared to speak to Sir System like this.
However, Lu Fan was actually so stubborn today. Second Uncle Liu Hai was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He pointed his fan at Lu Fan and was so angry that he could not say a word.
Third Uncle quickly stood up and helped Second Uncle sit down.
"Little Lu, you're too much! Second Uncle is an elder after all. Even if there's something wrong, you can't speak like this!”Third Uncle frowned and said,"As the old saying goes, an elder is a teacher, and a teacher is a father. You should treat the three of us with the same respect as your own father!"”
Wasn't the hint obvious enough?
He had to treat his Third Uncle like a father and give him all the good food and drinks.
Third Uncle knew that Lu Fan was a salesperson at the state-run grocery store. He had a lot of food and drinks on hand. According to his thoughts, the pavilion closest to the water would benefit first. As a highly respected old man in the courtyard, even Second Master could benefit from it. Why couldn't he?
However, Lu Fan was not interested in Third Master, who was always trying to take advantage of him behind his back.
He sneered and said,"Third Master, don't blame me for being straightforward. As long as you can do things according to the rules and preside over things fairly, I will respect you as if you were the elders of the family!" But the truth is, you didn't!”
"Moreover, after all this, you guys aren't even sure if the chicken in the claypot belongs to Xu Damao's family. How can you jump to conclusions and accuse a good person?”
Third Uncle rolled his eyes and smiled."Little Lu, we don't have evidence, but you can't prove that this chicken doesn't belong to Xu Damao's family. This matter, we are also dealing with it based on the principle of turning big things into small things. If you continue to cause trouble, then we might as well call the police station over and settle this matter!”
Xu Damao immediately smiled and nodded when he heard that he was going to call the police."Yes, yes, call the police and lock them up!”
If the few of them could not subdue Lu Fan, they would call the police.
Anyway, Xu Damao was determined to make Lu Fan and He Yuzhu lose their reputation and go to jail.
Second Uncle had already recovered by now. He spoke in a formal tone again,"We're all neighbors. Youngsters, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. If the police really come, you'll be finished!”
Hearing that they were really going to call the police, everyone below became lively. Everyone was waiting to watch a good show.
In this era, it was a big deal if the police came to the door. Whether it was He Yuzhu stealing a chicken or Lu Fan hitting someone, they were all destined to be imprisoned.
Qin Huairu was so frightened that her face turned deathly pale, and she subconsciously took a few steps back.
She gritted her teeth and was even more determined not to tell the police about the man stealing the chicken. Once the police found out, the man's life would be ruined.
For the sake of her son and their family, Qin Huairu did not hesitate to let He Yuzhu take the blame for them.
Anyway, he was alone and had nothing to worry about!
When he saw the pleading look she gave He Yuzhu, Lu Fan knew that his brother was determined to be a good person and help Qin Huairu take the blame.
He Yuzhu was a good person, but Lu Fan was not.
How could a widow be so selfish just because she was pitiful? Do you still have any face?
Lu Fan stared at Qin Huairu with eyes spitting fire. I'll let you feel comfortable first. When this matter is over, I'll punish you, this ungrateful b * tch!
Second Uncle waved his hand." Guangfu, since they refuse to admit their mistakes, go to the police station now and invite the police over!"”
"Dad, go find Third Brother. It's too far. I'm not going!”
Liu Guangfu pursed his lips.
The police station was quite a distance away from the alley. It would take nearly an hour to go back and forth. When he returned, the sky was completely dark. How could he be willing to go?
The third son of the Liu family stood up reluctantly. Just as he was about to leave, he was called by Lu Fan.
"Wait!"
Lu Fan said loudly,"What if I can prove that this chicken is my brother's and not Xu Damao's?"”
Xu Damao walked up with a cold smile and stared at Lu Fan."Impossible! Other than him, no one else would steal my chicken. Besides, he's so stupid and stingy. Would he be willing to buy a chicken?”
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes and said,"Do you dare to bet?"”
"Let's bet. Who's afraid of who?" Xu Damao immediately became energetic, and he raised his voice a few times."If this chicken isn't mine, I'll kneel down and kowtow to you!”
"If you say that this chicken is not Xu Damao's, I'll apologize to you too!" But if it's confirmed to be Xu Damao's, both of you will be fined a month's salary. I'll keep a portion of it as funds for future meetings! There was also a portion to compensate Xu Damao for losing the chicken!”
Looking at this money-grubber old man, Lu Fan smiled slightly.""Sure, no problem! But I have to go out and make a call first to get someone to testify!”
As he spoke, Lu Fan walked straight out of the alley, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
Even He Yuzhu was dumbfounded. After all, this was a month's salary. If anything went wrong, he would have worked for nothing for the entire month.
In fact, he had thought of explaining to everyone that this chicken was a reward from the logistics director.
However, he also knew that with the nature of these neighbors, no one would believe that he, Silly Zhu, was actually rewarded by the leaders. To them, this was simply like the sun rising from the west.
Lu Fan walked along the alley for ten minutes.
They arrived at the only telephone booth in the area.
In the past, communication wasn't so developed. There was only one phone in the entire area.
If he wanted to inform someone about something, he would have to call the operator, and the operator would come to find him to inform him.
After paying the money, he dialed the number. After waiting for a long time, the operator's voice came from the other end."Hello, who are you looking for?"
Lu Fan said directly," Help me find Unit 76 in Qianmen Alley. It's the Red Star Rolling Mill's Director Zhao's house on the east side. Tell him that Lu Fan is looking for him. Tell him to come to my house as soon as possible!"”
"Alright, we'll inform him!”
On the other end, the operator who had just hung up the phone followed the address and shouted the contents of Lu Fan's instructions three times toward a courtyard house.
……
Lu Fan returned to the courtyard house. Everyone was waiting there.
Seeing that he had returned alone, the crowd started discussing again.
Xu Damao put his hands on his waist and said disdainfully,""Stop pretending. It's only been a few days since you came to us. I don't believe that you can find anyone. Obediently accept your punishment!"
" Little Lu, I know you're stalling for time," Second Uncle said mockingly." However, no matter how much you stall, you still have to be punished!"”
Third Uncle rolled his eyes and walked to Lu Fan's side. He leaned into his ear and whispered,"Little Lu, this matter doesn't have to be so big. How about this? Third Uncle will give you some advice. Give me some benefits, and I'll help you settle this matter! What do you think?"
"What?"
Lu Fan widened his eyes and pretended to be surprised as he shouted,"Third Uncle! You want me to bribe you? How could I do such a thing?"
Third Uncle was shocked by Lu Fan's sudden words.
How could this little brat say such a secret in front of so many people? This was clearly trying to embarrass him!
Third Uncle blushed and was about to explain when Xu Damao spoke first," Lu Fan, stop wasting everyone's time. Put on an act and hurry up with the money..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a series of urgent bells suddenly rang from outside.
Then, a bicycle came to a sudden stop outside the courtyard house.
Director Zhao of the logistics department of the Red Star Rolling Steel Mill was panting heavily as he walked in quickly. His head was covered in sweat.
It could be seen that after he received Lu Fan's message, he rushed over on his bike without delay. If he didn't have to beg Lu Fan to buy things in the future, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to ride his bike from such a far place.
Director Zhao asked what was going on as soon as he arrived. Second Uncle quickly explained the matter of the chicken being lost.
After listening, Director Zhao said with a bitter smile,"My fellow neighbors, you've really misunderstood. This chicken isn't stupid…Master He stole it. I rewarded him because I saw that he usually performed well! You've indeed wronged a good person!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Damao, Second Uncle, and the others 'expressions changed immediately.
