The bell for the rolling mill to get off work rang.
After Xu Weijun packed his things, he quickly rode his bicycle back to the courtyard house.
Then, he started to wash the vegetables and prepare dinner.
At this time, Xu Damao returned to the backyard with a bruised face.
Xu Weijun looked and knew that Xu Damao was beaten up by Silly Zhu.
"They really are enemies." Xu Weijun smiled.
At this moment, Xu Damao suddenly said in surprise,""Hey, where's my chicken? Why is my chicken gone?"
Previously, when he went to the village community to play a movie, his fellow countryman gave him an old hen. Xu Damao had been reluctant to eat it, so he kept it to lay eggs.
However, when he returned to his house, he found that the chicken coop was empty.
The old hen was gone.
Hearing Xu Damao's surprised voice, Xu Weijun also looked over.
Sure enough, the old hen that Xu Damao had kept in the chicken coop was gone.
If Xu Damao hadn't mentioned it, he really wouldn't have noticed it.
"It should have been stolen."
Xu Weijun said.
As he spoke, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Stealing a chicken?
In the original novel, it was a stick that stole Xu Damao's chicken and roasted it.
Thinking of this, Xu Weijun smiled and said,"Damao, my house has been robbed before. You might as well go and look for it.”
Xu Damao felt that it made sense.
That's right, Xu Weijun's family had also hired thieves.
And that thief was the stick.
Thinking of this, Xu Damao immediately walked towards the Jia family.
At this moment, Qin Huairu was preparing dinner at the Jia family's residence. It was just a few steamed buns, cornbread, cabbage, and wild vegetable soup.
When Xu Damao walked into the Jia residence, Qin Huiru was shocked.
"Xu Damao, why did you come to my house?”
Qin Huairu frowned.
Xu Damao did not have much of a presence in the courtyard house. What did he suddenly want to do at home?
"Qin Huairu, let me ask you, did your stalker steal my old hen?”
Xu Damao didn't waste time on Qin Huairu and went straight to the point.
"Xu Damao, are you crazy? My boy is a good boy. What right does he have to say that he stole your old hen?”Qin Huairu felt that Xu Damao was simply unreasonable.
"Heh, good boy. Your boy has a criminal record.”Xu Damao sneered.
"Xu Damao, you bastard, are you looking for trouble? Why would my stick terrier steal your old hen?”Jia Zhang-shi cursed as she walked over.
But she was also panicking.
When Xu Damao returned to the courtyard house, he realized that the old hen at home was missing. Why didn't he go to other houses to make a fuss? Why did he come straight to her house?
Even a dog's nose couldn't be this sharp!
"Haha." Xu Damao chuckled." Aunt Zhang, that's not right. The stick had even stolen from Xu Weijun's house."”
"He's a good kid. Who would believe that?"
The quarrel between Xu Damao and Jia Zhangshi also attracted the attention of the people in the courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai ran over first.
"Da Mao, what are you doing?"
Yi Zhonghai was surprised to see Xu Damao at the Jia family's residence.
"Grandpa Yi, please judge the situation. My old hen was stolen, and Jia Geng has a criminal record of stealing. I suspect that Jia Geng stole my old hen, right?”
"What is it? Your old hen was stolen?" Yi Zhonghai was also shocked.
The old hen that Xu Damao raised under the eaves weighed three to four pounds. He was also a little jealous. If only that old hen was his.
But now, the old hen had been stolen.
"That's reasonable, but you can't accuse the child for nothing!”
Yi Zhonghai said.
Although the stick had gone to Xu Weijun's house to steal things, the old hen raised by Xu Damao might not have been stolen by the stick.
Perhaps it was someone else.
At this time, Xu Weijun, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, and the Deaf Old Lady also arrived at the middle court.
"Whether Xu Damao has wronged Jia Geng or not, we will know after searching.”
Xu Weijun said.
"Yes, we have to search to know.”Xu Damao said.
"No, you can't search." When Jia Zhang-shi heard this, she immediately panicked.
His gaze at Xu Weijun was also filled with malice.
She had hidden half of that old hen at home, and even Qin Huairu did not know about it.
If they were found, it would be terrible.
"Why can't we search? Aunt Zhang, could it be that you have a guilty conscience? That chicken was stolen by Jia Geng.”
Xu Damao wasn't stupid. Jia Zhangshi didn't dare to let him search because she had a guilty conscience!
"You're the one who's guilty. My boy is a good kid. How could he steal your old hen?”Jia Zhang-shi composed herself.
"Since you don't have any ulterior motives, then let Xu Damao search!”
Seeing Jia Zhangshi's flustered expression, Xu Weijun knew that Xu Damao's old hen was most likely stolen by a stick.
"Otherwise, Xu Damao would have gone to the police station to call the police.”
"Yes, since you won't let me search, I'll go to the police station and call the police.”Xu Damao said.
"It wouldn't be good if Damao went to the police station to call the police. I think it's better to settle this matter in the courtyard.”
Once he heard that they were going to call the police, Grandpa One spoke up.
"If the police get involved and find out that it was really done by someone in our courtyard house, it will also affect the reputation of our courtyard.”
Second Uncle added.
"I think we should do as Old Yi and Old Liu said. This matter should be resolved within our compound.”Third Uncle calculated for a moment and felt that First Uncle and Second Uncle were right.
" Old lady…" Yi Zhonghai looked at the deaf old lady.
"We'll do as you say." As the Deaf Old Lady spoke, she looked at Jia Zhangshi,"Little girl Zhang, why aren't you moving away?”
Seeing that the three elders in the courtyard and the Deaf Old Lady had reached an agreement, Jia Zhangshi reluctantly stepped aside.
However, she was also lucky.
She had hidden that half of the chicken very well. The Old Merchant would bless Xu Damao so that he wouldn't find it.
Xu Damao also started to search Jia Zhangshi's house.
Xu Damao really couldn't find anything.
Seeing that Xu Damao couldn't find her, Jia Zhangshi also had a smug look on her face.
"Can't find it? Could it really not be stolen by the stick?"
Xu Damao started doubting himself.
"Damao, get on the beam."
Xu Weijun said from the crowd.
But this time, Jia Zhang-shi was really panicking.
"Yes, go up the beam." Xu Damao's eyes lit up when he heard that.
Immediately, he brought a ladder over.
When Xu Damao started to climb the ladder, Jia Zhangshi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
That was because she had hidden the half of the hen on the beam.
After a while, Xu Damao also found the remaining half of the old hen on the beam of the Jia family's house.
"Aunt Zhang, what else do you want to say?”
Xu Damao took half of the old hen down the ladder and questioned Jia Zhangshi.
When they saw Xu Damao take half of the old hen from under the Jia family's roof beam, everyone in the courtyard house was stunned.
Good heavens, so Xu Damao's old hen was indeed stolen by a stick.
Jia Zhangshi knew about it, but she still wanted to hide it for him.
" Mom, you…" Qin Huairu could not believe it either.
