He had thought that He Qing would at least become a small leader after studying outside for so long.
Who knew that He Qing had only returned to be an ordinary worker.
To the people in the courtyard, if He Qing had gotten a good position in the rolling mill, he would have long flaunted it.
How could such a commoner understand He Qing's low profile?
"Alright, alright. He Qing, right? You came back just in time. Your brother stole my chicken.”
When Xu Damao heard that the person who beat him up was actually He Qing, the anger in his heart could not help but surge out.
Now that He Qing had returned, he had attracted everyone's attention.
Even his wife Lou Xiao'e glanced at He Qing a few times, making Xu Damao even angrier.
That was why he shouted impatiently.
He Yuzhu had never been polite to Xu Damao. After hearing Xu Damao's words, he retorted,
"What are you shouting for? Can't you see that my brother is back? Dog meat really can't be served at the banquet."
"You…"
Xu Damao was fuming from He Yuzhu's scolding. He looked at Second Uncle and questioned,
"Second Uncle, are you still going to interfere in this matter? We can't stop the interrogation just because He Yuzhu's brother is back, right?”
Although Xu Damao was a despicable person, he was not stupid at all.
He knew that in this courtyard, the First Master was biased towards He Yuzhu and his brother. No matter what, the Third Master had some relationship with He Qing.
Only Second Uncle was unhappy with the He brothers. At this time, he was the only one who could support him.
However, what made Xu Damao miscalculate was that He Qing did not give Second Uncle a chance to speak at all.
He said directly,
"Xu Damao, you're a man, why are you being so girly? Tell me in detail what happened.”
As He Qing spoke, the surrounding noise instantly disappeared.
He Qing's tone seemed calm, but there was a special aura about her.
This temperament made the neighbors feel that He Qing was the center of attention.
Xu Damao, who was originally aggressive, suddenly lost his temper.
He shrunk his head and muttered,"
"The last time I went to the community to play a movie for someone, they gave me two chickens. When I came back from work just now, I realized that one was missing. I looked around and found that your brother was secretly stewing chicken in the house! I found out, but not only did he not admit it, he even scolded me. That's why I looked for the three masters to uphold justice.”
After hearing Xu Damao's words, He Qing nodded and swept his gaze across Qin Huairu, who was sitting on the bench.
Qin Huairu's body stiffened when He Qing looked at her like that.
He Qing's gaze seemed to have seen through her spells, making her restless.
He Qing looked at the little widow's nervous expression and knew that she already knew what was going on.
She was just a neighbor and a son. Of course, she would not give up her son.
Therefore, He Yuzhu could only take the blame.
It was human nature for relatives to hide from each other.
However, He Qing couldn't tolerate this little widow making her brother take the blame.
Don't you know that it's wrong for a child to steal a chicken?
Don't you know that children need to be educated?
He wondered what it meant for He Yuzhu to be accused of theft.
This woman was not only cold-blooded and heartless, but also mean and vicious.
For the sake of her family's comfort, she tied her brother up tightly and worked for their family for the rest of her life!
She wasn't even willing to give birth to He Yuzhu's child!
What reason did she give? It's on!
Anyone who clung to this kind of woman would be unlucky for eight lifetimes. He Qing naturally would not let He Yuzhu be tied down by this family like in the original novel.
"Masters, Xu Damao said that my brother stole his chicken. Do you have any evidence?”
He Qing stood in the courtyard and asked indifferently.
Just as First Uncle was about to speak, Second Uncle beat him to it and said,"
"What evidence do we need? Silly Zhu said that his chicken was bought from the market, but the timing didn't match. It was obvious that he was lying. Why did he lie? Because he stole Xu Damao's chicken."
"Haha!"
Hearing Second Uncle's arbitrary words, He Qing sneered. He narrowed his eyes and asked,
"If I lie, does that mean my brother stole Xu Damao's chicken? Are you sure that the chicken stewed in my brother's house is the one that Xu Damao lost?”
Second Uncle said without hesitation,"
"Of course, I'm sure."
The second uncle was so sure because he knew that even if the chicken in He Yuzhu's hands did not belong to Xu Damao, it must have been stolen from the rolling mill.
Everyone in the courtyard knew that He Yuzhu would carry a lunchbox every day after work.
Everyone knew what was inside.
With Qin Huairu's meager salary, could she support an old man and three young ones?
All the money in their family's stomachs had come from He Yuzhu.
It was just that this matter had nothing to do with them previously, so no one cared. If they really wanted to dig deeper, He Yuzhu would not be able to take it at all.
Stealing Xu Damao's chicken and stealing the public's chicken were two different things.
Stealing from Xu Damao could still be considered petty theft, but stealing from the public would be criticized by the masses.
Once this matter reached the factory, He Yuzhu might lose her job or even go through reform through labor.
It was precisely because of this that Second Uncle dared to pat his chest and guarantee.
He was certain that He Yuzhu would never admit that the chicken belonged to the government!
