When Second Uncle opened his mouth, he had already decided the nature of the matter.
However, when he said this, some people in the courtyard did not know what had happened. They immediately shouted,"Don't be so serious, Second Uncle. What exactly happened? Tell us in detail first!”
"That's right. I'm still confused.”
Second Uncle coughed a few times and said calmly,""Alright, since you don't know, then I'll roughly explain the matter!”
"Someone stole a chicken from Xu Damao's house. Coincidentally, there was a chicken stewed on the stove.
Maybe this was a coincidence, but maybe it wasn't.
So, First Uncle, Third Uncle, and I analyzed it together and decided to hold a general meeting of the entire academy to discuss how to deal with this matter.
Of course, before that, let's invite the most experienced elder in our courtyard to express his views.”
The second uncle's bangs were satisfied. He turned around and gestured to Yi Zhonghai before he sat back down calmly.
Yi Zhonghai glanced at him with disdain and said,""I won't say anything else. Second Uncle has already explained it just now, so everyone should know what's going on.
So let's get straight to the point-He Yuzhu, tell me the truth, did you steal Xu Damao's chicken?!”
"Don't be so mean, First Uncle. You're framing a good person. I'm not a thief. Why would I steal a chicken?”
Silly Zhu occupied a long bench alone as if nothing had happened. He put his hands in his pockets and replied calmly.
Just as he finished speaking, Qin Huairu added,""That's right, Master Yi. Don't you know about Silly Zhu's personality? He won't be able to escape if he fights or causes trouble, but Silly Zhu has never done anything like stealing.
I believe that everyone in the quad knows this. Silly Zhu would never do anything sneaky!”
Look at what he said... Fang Yuan had guessed it right!
Without knowing that the meme was a chicken thief, Qin Huairu did not remain silent and worried like in the original plot. On the contrary, she started to defend Silly Pillar!
But the more it was like this…the more fun it was!
He wondered if Qin Huairu would regret what she had said if she found out that the stick was a chicken thief.
Especially this guy, he was really bold!
At this moment, he was just watching the show with Xiao Dang and Huai Hua by Qin Huiru's side as if nothing had happened!
Even the old witch Jia Zhang-shi, who usually didn't go out, also ran out to watch the show and sat on the other side.
One had to know that in the original plot, because they knew in advance that the stick stalk was a chicken thief, Jia Zhangshi did not appear from the beginning to the end. Moreover, she did not let the stick stalk Little Flower Flower and the other two show up!
Now that this family had appeared…there would be fun to watch later!
Fang Yuan's thoughts ran wild, and in the blink of an eye, he heard Xu Damao shout!
"I say, Qin Huairu, stop defending Silly Zhu! Since you and Silly Zhu said that the chicken wasn't stolen, then tell me, where did Silly Zhu's chicken come from!”
Silly Zhu naturally did not want to be outdone, he glared: ""Xu Damao, are you stupid? Of course I bought this chicken!”
"Wait a minute. Since you bought it, let me ask you, where did you buy it?”
Second Uncle interrupted.
"Where else could it be? Of course I bought it at the market!"”
Third Master Yan Bugui immediately added,""There are many wet markets. Which wet market did you buy it from? Was it Dongdan Market or Chaoyang Market?”
There weren't as many wet markets in this era as there were in the later era.
In the vicinity of the Siheyuan, the closest places were the two places that Third Master had mentioned!
Silly Zhu didn't hesitate and replied without thinking,""Of course it's the Chaoyang Market!”
Hearing this, Third Uncle immediately squinted his eyes and said with a fake smile,"That's not right, Silly Zhu. From here to Chaoyang Market, even if you take a car, it will take at least 40 minutes to go back and forth.
This is not even counting the time you spent buying chickens, slaughtering chickens, and cleaning them up!
Tell me, when did you get off work? Do you have time to make a round trip after work?”
This question stumped Silly Zhu!
How could he not know what was going on with his chicken? Didn't that mean that he had stolen it from the factory?
He made up a lie and said that he bought it, but he didn't expect that the time wasn't precise enough…There was no way to explain this!
For a moment, Silly Zhu's expression was ugly and he did not say anything.
When the others saw this, no one responded, so the atmosphere in the entire courtyard suddenly fell silent.
However, at this moment, Second Uncle coughed and said in a strange tone,"Erm, everyone, listen to me. Qin Huairu was right just now. Although Silly Zhu has a bad temper, he has never stolen anything for so many years.
So then, I thought about it just now. There might be another possibility.
Everyone knows that Silly Zhu is the head chef of our steel mill. The ingredients in the canteen are used as much as they want.
Therefore, this chicken might not be Xu Damao's family's, but Silly Zhu's from the factory canteen!”
As soon as he said this, the other people in the quad immediately looked at Silly Zhu.
Stealing a chicken was already a big crime these days, but stealing a chicken from a factory could be classified as stealing collective property or even national property. That would be even more serious!
Although this chicken was indeed stolen from the factory by Silly Zhu, how could he dare to admit it!
"Second Uncle, don't talk nonsense!" This is another matter. I didn't steal anything from the factory!”
"Don't be silly, that's not right, right?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Third Master Yan Bugui added another knife.
"You always bring a lunch box back after work every day. Tell me, what's in that lunch box? They couldn't possibly leave their lunchboxes in the factory, but their lunchboxes were so expensive that they had to bring them back, right?？？”
Actually, many people in the quad already knew about this matter.
Now that Third Master had pointed it out, the group of people immediately looked at Silly Zhu and whispered to each other.
Silly Zhu was also aware of the seriousness of the problem, his expression turning ugly.
However, at this juncture, First Uncle secretly defended Silly Zhu and coughed lightly,"Alright, alright, don't talk about those useless things! We're talking about the quad, it has nothing to do with the factory!”
"Wait a minute, Old Yi, I don't agree with what you said! More than half of the people in our courtyard are employees of the rolling mill. How can this matter not be related to the mill?”
Second Uncle seized the opportunity and interrupted First Uncle rudely.
"Besides, the chicken in Silly Zhu's claypot should have a background, right? Was this stolen from Xu Damao's house or from the factory?!
According to what Silly Zhu said, this chicken definitely didn't belong to Xu Damao's family. Then, could it be assumed that this chicken was stolen from the factory?!
If that's the case... Comrade Fang Yuan, as the captain of our factory's security department, you have the right to arrest people, right?”
Fang Yuan himself did not expect that as Liu Haizhong spoke, he actually attracted the fire to himself!
