"Silly Zhu, what do you say?" Liu Haizhong immediately looked at Silly Zhu and asked.
"Say what? Why would a chef like me steal Xu Damao's chicken? Isn't this a joke?" Silly Zhu said disdainfully.
"Then where did your chicken come from?”Yan Bugui asked.
"I bought it."
"Where did you buy it?"
"Chaoyang Market."
"You said you bought it at Chaoyang Market?”Yan Bugui became spirited." It takes an hour to go back and forth from the rolling mill or from our courtyard to Chaoyang Market. Plus, the time doesn't match when you come back to kill chickens and cook. You don't have that much time."”
As he spoke, Yan Bugui squinted his eyes and said meaningfully,""Or did you steal this chicken from the factory?”
"Yeah, the time doesn't match. This chicken definitely wasn't bought in Chaoyang Market.”
"Could it really be from the factory?”
Yan Bugui's words caused many people in the courtyard to point at Silly Zhu.
Zhong Shan did not say anything.
No matter what the final outcome was, it had nothing to do with him. He only cared about watching the show.
"You can't say that carelessly. Stealing Xu Damao's chicken will cost you two dollars. Stealing from the government will require the entire factory to denounce you.”Shazhu's expression changed and he quickly argued.
If they were convicted of stealing from the factory, they would be punished by the whole factory and lose their jobs. If it was serious, they might go to jail.
As for where Silly Zhu's chicken came from, Zhong Shan knew that it was from the factory.
However, Zhong Shan did not say anything, because it would not benefit him at all if he did. Instead, it would only invite trouble.
Be it Silly Zhu or Qin Huairu, they were not good people.
Offending Silly Zhu and Qin Huiru would also indirectly offend Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai was on Silly Zhu's side, Qin Huiru.
Zhong Shan was no longer the billionaire he used to be. He was now just an ordinary first-class fitter in the rolling mill workshop.
Furthermore, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huai were in the same workshop. Yi Zhonghai was a Grade 8 fitter in the rolling mill. His position in the workshop was not low. Even the workshop leader had to give him some face.
No matter which factory it was, a Level 8 fitter was considered a precious existence. There were only a dozen Level 8 fitters among the tens of thousands of people in the entire rolling mill.
If he offended Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai would definitely make things difficult for him.
Yi Zhonghai was a hypocrite. On the surface, he didn't come, but in the dark, he definitely wouldn't let it go.
Who was the one who gave Qin Huiru warmth and cornmeal at night?
It was Yi Zhonghai.
Although Zhong Shan wasn't afraid of offending Yi Zhonghai, he had just arrived and needed to adapt to many things. Furthermore, Zhong Shan didn't want to provoke such a small fry and lower his status.
"Now, let's talk about Xu Damao losing the chicken.”Yi Zhonghai spoke.
"Silly Zhu, since you stole my chicken, you have to compensate me.”Lou Xiao'e said.
"I didn't steal it." Silly Zhu refused to admit it.
"If you didn't steal it, who did? How did you get the chicken in your pot?" Xu Damao said loudly.
"Silly Zhu, you stole it, just admit it.”Qin Huairu panicked when he saw that Silly Zhu was denying it.
She knew very well that Xu Damao's chicken was very likely stolen by the stalker, but how could she admit it? If she admitted it, her reputation as a stalker would be gone.
Qin Huairu looked at Silly Zhu pitifully, continuously squeezing her eyes.
When Silly Zhu saw Qin Huairu like this, his heart softened. He blurted out,""Yes, I stole it. So what?”
"Silly Zhu, you're too bad. You stole our chicken and didn't admit it just now. You have to compensate us.”Lou Xiao'e said.
"Yes, pay up." Xu Damao also said loudly.
Yi Zhonghai frowned. He believed that the chicken was not stolen by Silly Zhu.
However, Yi Zhonghai had his suspicions after he remembered that Silly Zhu had admitted to it. However, since Silly Zhu had admitted to it, Yi Zhonghai did not want to make a big deal out of it.
"Since Silly Zhu admitted it, I'll compensate you two yuan for an old hen according to the market price," said Yi Zhonghai.”
"Alright, I'll pay." Silly Zhu gritted his teeth and nodded.
"No." Xu Damao refused loudly." Mine is an old hen. It can lay an egg a day. You have to pay at least five yuan."”
"Five yuan is too much. An old hen in the market costs at most two yuan.”Qin Huairu said unhappily.
Five yuan was enough for her family to eat white steamed buns for a few days.
Qin Huairu would never feel sorry for Silly Zhu. She would only feel sorry for Silly Zhu's money.
"Can the old hen in the market be the same as mine? Not only do the old hens in the market need tickets, but the key is that my old hen can lay eggs.”Xu Damao said.
"You should really consider laying eggs.”Silly Zhu laughed coldly.
"Silly Zhu, you're insulting me." Lou Xiao'e was furious. How could she not know that Silly Zhu was indirectly scolding her and Xu Damao?
"Silly Zhu, who are you talking about? Are you courting death?" Xu Damao's face was ferocious, and he looked furious. He wanted to fight with Silly Zhu.
"I'm talking about you. What? You want to fight? Come on.”Silly Zhu was not afraid of Xu Damao at all. In terms of fighting, Xu Damao had never beaten him.
"Alright, stop arguing. Since the results are out, Silly Zhu will compensate Xu Damao with five yuan.”
After that, Yi Zhonghai stood up and left.
Since the first uncle in the courtyard had said so, the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Bugui looked at each other and stood up to leave.
In the end, the meeting ended with Silly Zhu paying Xu Damao five yuan.
The meeting had ended, and there was nothing left to watch. Zhong Shan also walked towards the backyard. He wanted to go back and find out more about the secluded domain of heaven and earth.
When he returned to the backyard, Zhong Shan bumped into the Deaf Madam who had just left the house.
"The assembly ended so quickly. Zhong Shan, tell me, what did the assembly say?”Mrs. Deaf asked Zhong Shan.
Obviously, Mrs. Deaf had just left the house and was about to go to the front yard. However, she did not expect the meeting to end so quickly.
"Mrs. Deaf, it's said that Silly Zhu stole Xu Damao's chicken, and Silly Zhu paid five yuan as compensation.”Zhong Shan replied.
Zhong Shan also knew about the identity of Mrs. Deaf. She was the orphan of a martyr and was worthy of respect.
"Impossible, Silly Zhu is a good kid, he doesn't lack this kind of food, he definitely didn't steal the chicken, it must be Xu Damao who did it.”Mrs. Deaf was furious.
"I don't know about that. That's what they said at the meeting. I don't know anything else. If you want to know, you can ask Silly Zhu.”
"I still have something to do. I'll go back first.”
With that, he returned to his room.
He did respect the Deaf Madam, Zhong Shan. After all, she was the orphan of a martyr. However, it was only respect. Other than that, it had nothing to do with him.
Mrs. Deaf was very protective of her, so Zhong Shan didn't want to have anything to do with her.
Once he got involved, Silly Zhu, Qin Huairu, Aunt Yi, Uncle Yi, Aunt Er, Uncle Er, and Uncle San would enter his life.
What followed next were all sorts of trivial matters. This was not what Zhong Shan wanted.
Especially when he had a vague idea of the people in the courtyard. If he still couldn't avoid these things, then he wouldn't be Zhong Shan.
From a poor kid to a billionaire, Zhong Shan had taken many unusual paths. His vision had never been on things that were not beneficial to him.
He didn't transmigrate to do good things. He didn't even fully understand his own situation. Doing good things would only cause trouble for himself.
