Hearing this, Xu Damao was a little surprised, as if he couldn't believe that these words came from He Yutian's mouth.
In his impression, He Yutian was a very reserved and introverted child who was afraid of strangers.
"How can you say that? I'm your elder after all…"
"Yo, what kind of elder are you? Is there an elder who knocks on the door like you?"
He Yutian's sharp tongue interrupted Xu Damao's train of thought. He did not come back to his senses for a moment.
"Brother Xu, didn't you lose your chicken at home?”
Xu Damao's lackey reminded him softly.
Xu Damao finally came back to his senses." I came here to ask if you've seen my hen."”
"What a joke. Why didn't you go home to look for your old hen? Why did you come to our house to look for it?”
He Yutian sneered.
"Our two families have been neighbors for decades. It's just a wall apart. Our family lost a chicken, and your family was stewing chicken right after.”
Xu Damao's words had a hidden meaning, and the neighbors behind him nodded in agreement.
This was indeed very suspicious.
In the middle of the argument, He Yuzhu, who had gone out to buy salt, came back and saw that his house was surrounded by people. It took him a lot of effort to squeeze in.
"He Yuzhu, you're finally back. Tell me, what happened to your chickens?”
A busybody neighbor asked directly.
He Yuzhu was confused." I bought it at the market this morning. Is there something wrong with the chicken?"”
It would have been fine if He Yuzhu hadn't come back. As soon as he opened his mouth to explain, Xu Damao started talking.
"The chicken is definitely fine. I think the person with the problem is you!”
"How can there be such a coincidence in this world? My chicken was lost, and you went to the morning market to buy a chicken. Who can prove that you bought the chicken yourself?”
"Silly Zhu Zi, I didn't expect you to be stupid. You're not stupid to be greedy. We've been neighbors for so many years, but I didn't expect you to be such a person!”
"You actually dare to do such a sneaky thing!”
A series of accusations came out like cannonballs.
Xu Damao's face was flushed red, and he looked very wronged!
When the neighbors heard about the flowers, they could not help but frown and point at He Yuzhu.
"He usually looks honest, but I didn't expect him to be so scheming!”
"That's right! You really can't judge a book by its cover."
From their words, they had already determined that He Yuzhu had stolen Xu Damao's chicken.
In a moment of sarcasm, all kinds of unpleasant words came out.
He Yuzhu finally understood the current situation. He raised his eyebrows as if he had recalled something, but he did not refute.
He Yutian didn't expect him to defend himself.
He was too honest, so he was always bullied.
He would give way to others whenever he felt wronged and never cared about personal gains and losses.
This also laid the foundation for his grief in his later years.
If he compromised this time, Xu Damao would definitely become worse in the future. He would even be looked down upon by his neighbors as a thief.
"I told you that I bought this chicken from the market.”
He Yuzhu waved his hand and was about to send them away.
But how could there be a simple lamp in this courtyard house?
"He Yuzhu, you must be feeling guilty!”
"Silly Zhu, you look like an honest person, but you're actually not a good person!”
"Aren't you afraid of choking to death after stealing someone else's food and stewing it?”
Each sentence was more unpleasant than the last!
He Yutian couldn't take it anymore.""Since you're so sure that my brother stole this chicken, then I'll ask the victim, how can you prove that this chicken is yours?”
"What's there to prove or not to prove? The facts are right in front of us!”
"We only have these two old chickens in our family. We rely on them to lay eggs to maintain our family. Your brother stole my chickens. If we don't resolve this matter, I won't let you off!”
Hearing this, He Yutian could not help but laugh.
Xu Damao was a little nervous and frowned."Your brother is a thief, and you, as his younger brother, can't be clean either. What are you laughing at?”
"Is that so? You said that your chicken can lay eggs, which means that your chicken is a hen, right?”
He Yutian shrugged and asked.
Xu Damao nodded subconsciously.
A chicken that could lay eggs was definitely a hen. There was no such thing as a rooster laying eggs!
He Yutian entered the house and brought out the chicken soup. She used her chopsticks to pull out the chicken head.
"I don't need to teach you guys how to differentiate between male and female chickens, right?”
Everyone came forward to take a look.
"Eh? Isn't this a rooster?"
Xu Damao's face turned red.
"Isn't this framing Dazhu? Xu Damao, what's wrong with you?"
"You're so aggressive without evidence. We almost wronged a good person!”
All of a sudden, the guns turned and all the neighbors began to blame Xu Damao.
In the crowd, only the middle-aged woman with two small braids and an apron remained unmoved.
This person was no stranger. It was the widowed mother of the chicken-stealing youth, Qin Huairu.
"This is impossible! It was absolutely impossible! I'm sure that it was Silly Zhu who stole my chicken! He must have hidden it!"
"That's easy. Let's call the police. The police are always impartial, right?”
He Yutian threw away all suspicion with one sentence.
Hearing this, Qin Huairu's expression changed drastically.
Judging from her reaction, she must have known that her precious son had stolen Xu Damao's chicken.
He Yutian was a little disdainful.
How could the mother not know that the child had stolen something?
He Yuzhu usually helped the mother and son a lot.
Qin Huairu was actually able to remain as steady as Mount Tai at a time like this.
He didn't even say a word to He Yuzhu.
It could be seen how scheming this woman was.
"Brother, it's okay. There's no need to call the police. Why do you have to trouble the police for such a trivial matter?”
He Yuzhu tugged at He Yutian and whispered into his ear.
He had long known that Qin Huairu's child had stolen the chicken.
The reason why she didn't say anything was because she felt pity for Widow Qin, who had a hard time raising three children by herself.
"How can that do? No matter if it was a thief or a grand thief, stealing was stealing.”
"No matter what the reason is, we can't do such a shameless thing.”
"Brother, you don't know this. Nowadays, not only do adults have to be arrested for committing crimes, but children also have a special place for committing crimes. It's called the juvenile detention center!”
Qin Huairu's face turned even paler.
Unable to withstand the pressure any longer, he fell to his knees with a thud.
"Big Brother Xu, I'm sorry. My child stole your chicken!”
Everyone was in an uproar!
Even Xu Damao himself did not expect this.
"Wha…what?" Xu Damao stuttered.
Qin Huairu slapped his eldest son, Goudan, who was standing beside him.
A clear handprint appeared on Goudan's face.
Goudan wailed.
"I beg you, Brother Xu. I'll pay you back for your hen's money. Please don't call the police, okay?”
"If we call the police and Goudan has a bad record, the rest of his life will be over!”
