After hearing Wang Xuewen's words, First Uncle's face immediately turned as black as charcoal.
Silly Zhu was one of the people he planned to spend his retirement with.
Based on the current situation, it was very likely that Silly Zhu was the thief who had robbed Xu Damao's house!
At the same time, Wang Xuewen's house was also robbed.
Doesn't that mean that it was also stolen by Silly Zhu?
What kind of wicked thing was Silly Zhu doing!
If he had the reputation of a thief, how would he be able to support him and his wife in their old age?
"He Yuzhu! Tell me the truth. Did you steal Xu Damao's chicken?？”First Uncle looked at He Yuzhu.
He could only hope that it was all a coincidence.
"No, I'm not a thief. Why would I steal chickens?”Silly Zhu refused to admit it.
Moreover, he was not the one who stole Xu Damao's chicken.
"Then let me ask you, where did your chicken come from? Where did it come from?" Xu Damao pointed at the pot of stewed chicken on the table.
"I bought it!"
"Where did you buy it?" Second Uncle asked.
"I bought it at the market!"
"Which market? Was it Dongdan Market or Chaoyang Market?”Third Uncle asked.
Third Uncle might not be able to do big things, but he knew how to deal with small things like buying vegetables.
"It's Chaoyang Market." Silly Zhu said.
"That's not right. Even if you take the bus, it will take at least 40 minutes to go back and forth from here to Chaoyang Market.”
"This is not counting the time you spent buying and slaughtering chickens. When did you get off work?”Third Uncle questioned.
He was very clear about such a small matter.
"..." Silly Zhu was speechless.
He was just saying it casually. Who knew that there would be so many holes in Third Master's words?
This was too calculative!
Xu Damao said proudly.
He and Silly Pillar had been sworn enemies since young. Seeing Silly Pillar suffer, he was happy.
Moreover, that chicken was stolen by Silly Zhu, so he could make Silly Zhu pay him!
"Well, there might be another possibility. That's right, the chicken in the claypot didn't belong to Xu Damao's family.”Second Uncle spoke.
"Isn't everyone aware of this? Silly Zhu is the cook of our Third Rolling Mill's canteen.”
"Maybe he was brought back by Silly Zhu from this canteen.”Second Uncle said.
Every day, Silly Zhu carried a net bag with one to several lunch boxes inside.
He had brought back so many dishes from the canteen. Even if he earned 84.5 yuan a month, he would still be jealous.
He had thought that it was just some leftover cabbage and potatoes, which were worth a few cents.
But now, it was a chicken!
Even if it was a rooster, it would cost one yuan to buy it at Chaoyang Market!
They still needed tickets!
If the leftovers were of this standard, how could he not be jealous?
He was the only one working in the family. He had to support himself, his wife, and his three sons.
His eldest son had left after getting married, but he still had two sons to raise.
On average, the amount of money that each person could spend was not even as much as Silly Pillar!
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't talk about that!" Silly Zhu was anxious.
"Stealing a chicken from him is fine, but stealing a chicken from a factory is called stealing public property!”
"We won't hold a meeting here. We'll hold a public criticism meeting! Don't talk about this!" Silly Zhu repeatedly denied.
He brought food from the canteen, although he thought it was his duty.
However, he could not let everyone know. Did he still want his face?
"That depends on what you say! Every day after work, you have a lunch box in your net bag. What's in the lunch box?”Third Uncle also asked.
Third Uncle was also envious of Silly Zhu.
If he brought back one or two chickens every day, then a month's food would be equivalent to a month's salary!
"Alright! Let's not talk about other things. The matters in the factory are the matters in the factory, and our quad is the matters in the quad!”First Uncle hurriedly interrupted Third Uncle.
If Third Uncle continued to speak, then Silly Zhu would become a big thief who stole public property.
In that case, Silly Zhu wouldn't have to help him out in his old age.
"He Yuzhu! I'll give you another chance. Tell me, did you steal Xu Damao's chicken?”First Uncle looked at Silly Zhu.
Earlier, First Uncle hoped that Silly Zhu would deny it.
But now, he hoped that Silly Zhu would admit that he stole Xu Damao's chicken.
That way, at least it could be solved in the courtyard, and it wouldn't be a big problem.
" I..." Silly Zhu wanted to deny it, but the words stopped in his mouth.
He had also thought it through. Stealing Xu Damao's chicken was fine. At most, he would have to pay some money.
However, if he was reported for stealing chickens from the factory, he might be in trouble.
Following that, Silly Zhu glanced at Qin Huairu who was beside him.
When he came back from work, he saw the stalker and his two sisters hiding behind the cement pipe and eating beggar's chicken.
That chicken must have been stolen.
Xu Damao's chicken was stolen again, so it must have been stolen by the stick.
Also, Wang Xuewen's things must have been stolen by the stick.
He might as well take the blame for the stick.
This way, Qin Huairu would still owe him a favor.
The people in the courtyard called him Silly Zhu, but he was not stupid at all.
He had helped Qin Huiru for so many years because he coveted her.
Qin Huairu was so good-looking and well-groomed. She would definitely be able to give birth.
If she could marry Qin Huairu, she would take the blame. After all, she had already spent so much money.
Silly Zhu looked at Qin Huairu. Indeed, Qin Huairu was looking at him pitifully with pleading eyes.
Seeing Qin Huairu like this, Silly Zhu's heart almost melted.
He would take the blame for the stick! At most, he would lose some money. He had money!
"I stole it!" Silly Zhu said.
"What do you mean you stole it? If you stole it, then you stole it. If you didn't steal it, then you didn't steal it! Do you think that the people from the quad have wronged you?”First Uncle was very dissatisfied.
Can't this idiot be smarter?
"Tell me, is it true or not!" Second Uncle said.
"Don't add any words in front of it." Third Uncle added.
"Yes, sir!"
"What is it?"
"I stole it!"
"When did you steal it?" Third Uncle asked.
"Last night at two o'clock in the morning, the same time as Nero Zhou!”Silly Zhu said.
The neighbors who were watching the show were amused by him.
"Wait, something's wrong!" Wang Xuewen suddenly said.
"What's wrong?" Silly Zhu was impatient.
He had already admitted that he had stolen it. He could just compensate him later.
"I only made the buns this morning. How did you steal them last night?”Wang Xuewen looked at Silly Zhu.
He didn't know how to think clearly before taking the blame.
"I stole the chicken last night and went to your house today.”Silly Zhu directly abandoned the treatment.
Since he was prepared to take the blame, he would take the blame until the end.
"That's not right either. When I went out this morning, Xu Damao's two chickens were still there.”Wang Xuewen said.
Want to take the blame for the stick? That was impossible!
The title of thief could never be removed!
"Wang Xuewen, did you remember wrongly?”First Uncle asked.
He was about to explode from anger. This idiot didn't know how to lie.
Wang Xuewen clearly said that he made the buns this morning, but Silly Zhu didn't remember!
"This can't be. When I went out, I heard a cooing sound, so I deliberately took a look. Xu Damao's two chickens must still be there.”Wang Xuewen said with certainty.
"No? If my chicken wasn't stolen by Silly Zhu, who else could it be?”Xu Damao was displeased.
His chicken was lost, and it wasn't Silly Zhu who stole it.
Then wouldn't he be at a great loss?？
"It wasn't Silly Zhu who stole it, but Silly Zhu was willing to take the blame. Who else do you think stole it?”Wang Xuewen said.
Many people looked at each other, not understanding who Wang Xuewen was referring to.
On the other hand, Xu Damao and First Uncle immediately looked at Qin Huairu.
They knew what Silly Zhu was thinking.
"Do you still not understand? Before Silly Zhu admitted it, I saw him glance at Qin Huiru.”Wang Xuewen was referring to him by name.
"Wang Xuewen! What do you mean by that?" Qin Huairu finally couldn't sit still anymore.
