When they heard Jia Geng say," I know who stole the chicken," everyone immediately looked at him.
"Who is it? Tell me."
Xu Damao's spirits were lifted as he looked at Jia Geng and asked anxiously.
"Wait a minute, if I say it, what about you slandering me?”
At this moment, Jia Geng already knew who stole the chicken.
However, there was no hurry. Xu Damao had slandered him for no reason. He had to speak properly.
At this moment, Jia Geng also noticed that the two chicken thieves were clearly panicking. Their eyes started to drift, and they did not dare to look over.
These two chicken thieves were too bold to come here to watch the show!
"You, tell me quickly."
Xu Damao was a little angry and took a step forward.
He widened his eyes and looked as if he was going to make a move if he didn't say anything.
"Xu Damao, what are you doing?" Third Uncle said.
"Xu Damao, you're not thinking of making a move, are you?”Second Uncle was not satisfied either. What was the big deal about bullying a child?
"Xu Damao, calm down first.”The first grandpa said in a deep voice.
"Hey, Xu Damao, what are you doing? Are you bullying a child?”
He Yuzhu saw that Xu Damao was about to make a move, so she rushed forward and grabbed his hand.
"Silly Zhu, what are you doing?"
Xu Damao felt as if his wrist was being clamped by an iron pliers, and he could not move.
"If you want to bully someone, you have to get past me first.”He Yuzhu did not argue with Xu Damao.
As soon as he let go, Xu Damao staggered and almost fell down.
"You, you…" Xu Damao's lips trembled, but he didn't say anything.
"Awesome, tell me. I'll take responsibility for you. You don't have to be afraid of others taking revenge.”He Yuzhu said domineeringly.
"Thank you, Uncle He." Jia Geng thanked him sincerely.
"Not bad, kid. You've become polite.”
He Yuzhu nodded. He was quite happy that this kid didn't call him Silly Zhu.
This guy had been clever and likable since he was young. He did not dote on him for nothing.
"Yes, great. Say it and let Xu Damao apologize to you later.”
The first grandpa said in a deep voice, telling him not to be afraid.
"Yes, go ahead." The Third and Second Grandmasters said the same.
"Alright, since the three of you have said so, I'll say it.”
Jia Geng paused for a moment before continuing,"
"When I went out, I happened to hear the chicken crowing.”
"Then, I saw three sneaky figures walking out of the courtyard house.”
"I didn't pay attention at that time, so I went to the back of the mountain to catch rabbits.”
"Now it seems that those three people are the thieves who stole the chicken.”
"Who are the three?" Xu Damao immediately asked. Tell me quickly."
"There's someone I don't know." Jia Geng said truthfully.
"You mean you know two of them?”Xu Damao immediately understood the meaning of the meme.
"Yes!" Jia Geng nodded.
He Yuzhu hurriedly said,"You brat, why are you still keeping me in suspense? Tell me directly. Who is it?"”
"Yeah, great. Tell me." Qin Huairu was also anxious. It was already at this point, yet he still didn't finish his sentence in one breath.
Jia Geng smiled, but he didn't say anything about the chicken thief. Instead, he asked,""We caught the chicken thief. What should we do?”
"Just compensate and apologize for what happened in the courtyard.”First Uncle didn't want things to get out of hand.
"That won't do. We have to call the police for such a serious matter.”Second Uncle wanted the world to be in chaos.
"There's no need to make such a big deal out of it.”Third Uncle secretly calculated that if he lost more money, he could at least get some benefits from Xu Damao's family.
Xu Damao was not satisfied and said," No, I have to call the police and pay for it. Moreover, my hen is only an old hen that can lay eggs. It weighs at least two pounds. I have to pay at least 10 yuan."”
"Hey, Xu Damao, the hen I bought for stewing only cost 3 yuan for 500 grams. If you want 10 yuan, why don't you go rob it!”
He Yuzhu was amused by Xu Damao's words.
"Yeah, an old hen is only two or three yuan.”Qin Huairu also spoke.
Jia Geng also knew that the price of chicken in the black market was half of that of rabbits, which was two yuan per catty.
After all, there were more chickens than rabbits, and the fur of rabbits was very valuable in this era where resources were scarce.
Xu Damao was anxious and immediately said,
"This old hen of mine is used to lay eggs. If it laid an egg every two days, it would be able to lay 80 eggs in half a year. 10 pounds of eggs. The total was not even 10 yuan!”
"That makes sense. The old hen raised by Xu Damao is kept for laying eggs.”Second Uncle chimed in, thinking that he could get some benefits.
Seeing that Second Uncle was speaking up for him, Xu Damao immediately understood and said,"Yes, this old hen of mine is kept to lay eggs. I'm still considered to be lacking. If I lay eggs for a year, I'll have to pay 16 yuan.”
"Xu Damao, don't talk about laying eggs!”He Yuzhu laughed out loud and started to rub salt into the wound again.
Lou Xiao'e was not satisfied and glared at He Yuzhu.""Silly Zhu, will you die if you don't speak?”
