That night, more than 40 people gathered in the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai sat behind the table in the middle, and next to him was Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui. On the bench opposite him was Shazhu, and on the other side were Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e.
It was Liu Haizhong's idea to hold a full-court meeting, so he was naturally the one to make the opening remarks.
"Today's conference is about one thing. One of Xu Damao's chickens was stolen. At this time, there was a chicken stewed on the stove of Silly Zhu's house. Is it a coincidence or is it the same chicken? First Master, Third Master, and I have analyzed it together and decided to hold a conference to solve this problem. Next, we will invite First Master, the most experienced one in our academy, to preside over tonight's conference.”
Yi Zhonghai sat on the first chair and swept his gaze across the crowd. He clasped his hands and said in a voice that he thought was very dignified,"Are all the families here?”
Someone who heard what happened in the first workshop of the rolling mill at noon replied in a low voice,"Not long ago, his nephew Lin Tianjiao moved into Lin Dajun's house in the front courtyard. Just now, Xiao Xia went to knock on the door, but his nephew wasn't there.”
Yi Zhonghai glanced at the west wing and was a little unhappy. He raised his voice and said,""Didn't anyone inform Lin Tianjiao that he's going to have a meeting tonight?”
"I've informed Lin Tianjiao."”
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai recalled the scene of Lin Tianjiao insulting him earlier in the day. He couldn't help but want to take revenge on Lin Tianjiao. Hence, he said solemnly,""Young people nowadays are really becoming more and more unruly.”
Third Master Yan Bugui chimed in,"Old Yi is right, this is outrageous!”
Liu Haizhong realized that something was wrong. He didn't want to turn the meeting to punish Silly Pillar into a meeting to criticize Lin Tianjiao. After all, from what happened in the afternoon, that hothead Lin Tianjiao was someone he could use.
" Cough, Old Yi, Old Yan, say chicken…chicken…" Liu Haizhong, the second uncle, quickly reminded him.
The Third Master Yan Bugui suddenly came to his senses and remembered the benefits Xu Damao had promised him. He said,""Oh, right. Today's meeting is about chickens.”
Without Lin Tianjiao around, Yi Zhonghai knew that he couldn't establish his dominance. He could only shift his attention to Silly Zhu and said,"He Yuzhu, tell me the truth. Did you steal Xu Damao's chicken?”
"No, I'm not a thief."”
Xu Damao pointed at the chicken on the table and said,""Silly Zhu, tell me, where did you get this chicken in your pot?”
Seeing this, Silly Zhu tilted his head and said shamelessly,""I bought it at the market.”
"Which market is it?" Yan Bugui asked. Dongdan Market or Chaoyang Market?”
"Chaoyang Market." Silly Zhu was not stingy, so he did not think too much and casually made up a story.
When Third Master Yan Bugui heard this, he immediately perked up and asked,""Silly Zhu, that's not right. It takes 40 minutes by bus from here to Chaoyang Market, and that's not including the time to slaughter.”
Silly Zhu was instantly stunned when he heard that and quickly stopped talking.
At this moment, the Second Uncle's bangs were also full of energy. He showed off and said,"Actually, there's another possibility. That is, this chicken wasn't stolen by Silly Zhu. Everyone knows that he's the cook of our Third Rolling Mill. Who knows? This chicken might have been brought back from the kitchen.”
The second uncle's words immediately made Silly Zhu anxious. Silly Zhu quickly retorted angrily,"Hey, hey, hey, I say, Second Master, you have to have evidence when you speak. It's fine for me to steal Xu Damao's chicken, but if I touch the guys in the factory, then the crime will be big.”
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai quickly sided with Shazhu and said,""We don't care about the matters in the factory. We're talking about what happened in the courtyard now. He Yuzhu, let me ask you again. Did you steal Xu Damao's chicken?”
Silly Zhu glanced at Qin Huairu, who was sitting not far away, and noticed the embarrassment in her eyes. Of course, he knew who the chicken thief was, but he couldn't say it. He had no choice. At this point, he could only admit it to cover up for the three of them. Hence, after hesitating for a moment, he spread out his hands and said,"I stole it."
Silly Pillar had just finished speaking when a loud voice came from the corner of the wall,""Who are you lying to? Silly Zhu, you were in the canteen the whole day, when did you steal it?”
