Yi Zhonghai's sudden opening of his mouth was somewhat unexpected to Fang Yuan.
However, on second thought, Fang Yuan could more or less guess Yi Zhonghai's thoughts.
To put it bluntly, it was this person who did not want to make things so big!
After all, in detail, this person was someone who wanted to save face and reputation!
If this matter of stealing chickens was brought to the police station and alerted the police, the impact would be huge. When the neighbors heard about the incident, they would more or less say that Yi Zhonghai, the " manager " of the courtyard, was incompetent.
This was definitely a blow to Yi Zhonghai, who had always prided himself on being a " good person " and cherished his reputation!
However, Yi Zhonghai did not want things to get out of hand, but someone was willing to go against him!
In the blink of an eye, Second Uncle spoke from his bangs.
"Old Yi, I have to stop you now.
Xu Damao's family had lost a chicken, so it was only right for them to call the police. Moreover, the identity of this chicken thief has not been determined yet. Since we can't find out on our own, it's best to call the police!
Otherwise, he couldn't possibly let Comrade Da Mao suffer losses for no reason, right? This was a little unreasonable!”
Second Uncle Liu Haizhong had always been very obsessed with being an official. Therefore, from the very beginning, he had always coveted the position of " First Master " under Yi Zhonghai's shares!
After all, no matter what, the position of "First Master" could barely be considered as the "actual power holder" in the quad, and it was ranked above everyone else!
In comparison, although the identity of "Second Uncle" was not bad, it was still suppressed by "First Uncle", right?!
Therefore, if there was a chance to drag Yi Zhonghai down, Liu Haizhong would be more than happy to do so!
And this was an opportunity!
After all, once the matter was blown up, especially to the extent that the police would come knocking on the door, and the neighbors would know about it, then they would be able to stir up some public opinion and secretly make Yi Zhonghai the scapegoat!
For example, things like "poor management","poor leadership", and "useless people"!
Although this small crime might not be able to topple Yi Zhonghai in one go, it could at least shake Yi Zhonghai's authority and prestige!
Not to mention that a thousand-mile body would collapse in an ant nest!
If this went on for a long time, sooner or later, the small crimes and mistakes would accumulate to a certain extent, and Yi Zhonghai would be ousted!
At that time, wouldn't he be able to successfully grow into a First Uncle?!
Therefore, with this thought in mind, Liu Haizhong naturally couldn't wait to blow things up!
Moreover, since Liu Hai could think of this problem, Third Master Yan Bugui could naturally think of this too!
Although this guy's performance in the movie seemed to be just good at calculating and stingy, in fact, Yan Bugui's heart and brain were definitely not bad.
Especially when Liu Haizhong secretly gave Yan Bugui a look. This guy probably understood and immediately interrupted with a laugh,"If you ask me, I think Second Uncle's words are quite reasonable!
Anyway, we don't have any clues to find out who the chicken thief is, but we can't just leave this matter be, right?
Therefore, it was better to let the professionals handle the professional matters. It was better to inform the police!
Otherwise, if we can't catch this thief, do we have to live our lives secretly every day?
One had to know that the old saying was right. There was only the logic of being a thief for a thousand days, and not guarding against thieves for a thousand days!
If this thief could steal Xu Damao's chicken today, he might be able to steal other people's food or even other property tomorrow!
If that day really came, wouldn't the losses be even greater and the danger even greater?!”
Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong echoed each other and more or less moved everyone.
Especially when they thought that one day, their house might be the one being robbed…The people in the quad couldn't sit still!
"Second and Third Uncle are right. Since we can't find the thief ourselves, we might as well call the police!”
"That's right! It's useless to drag it out like this. It's better to invite the police over!”
"I also support the opinions of the two masters. It's better to directly invite the police over!”
The group of people discussed animatedly, one after another, making Yi Zhonghai's expression turn ugly.
He naturally did not want to blow things up, lest it affected his reputation. But now that the situation had come to this, it was obvious that it was no longer something that an old man like him could decide with a single word!
If he really wanted to adhere to the principle of 'resolving major issues into minor issues and digesting them internally,' he had to find someone to support his opinions and ideas!
With that thought in mind, Yi Zhonghai glanced at the people in the courtyard.
Most of the people who were jeering at this moment were the young people in the quad. On the contrary, those who were older did not say much.
Yi Zhonghai's thoughts turned, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Jia Zhangshi, who was not far away.
"Sister-in-law, in our quad, other than the Deaf Old Lady, you and my husband are the oldest. Tell me, should we call the police or not?”
In this day and age, matters in the quad were not only about the minority obeying the majority, but also about the younger generation obeying the elders.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui's words had incited a group of young people who wanted to see the world in chaos. Naturally, Yi Zhonghai had set his sights on a group of old people!
As for the older generation in the courtyard, excluding the Deaf Old Lady and the three elders, counting from top to bottom, it was his wife (an auntie) and Jia Zhangshi.
A middle-aged woman would definitely want to avoid arousing suspicion. Needless to say, Jia Zhangshi's attitude was very important to Yi Zhonghai!
Yi Zhonghai also knew very well that compared to young people, these older women were usually quite fierce when they quarreled. However, if they really encountered something big, they wouldn't have any ideas and wouldn't be willing to alarm the "government".
After all, in this era, there were still some remnants of feudal thinking.
Therefore, Yi Zhonghai felt that if he opened his mouth like this, he would definitely be able to get the support of the women of the Jia and Zhang families!
However, what Yi Zhonghai did not expect was that Jia Zhangshi glanced at Qin Huairu and then at Silly Zhu. Instead, she said loudly,""If you ask me, I think it's better to call the police! Arrest whoever stole the chicken! We can't let the bad guys have it easy!"
This sentence directly stunned Yi Zhonghai!
He couldn't understand why Jia Zhangshi, who had always been scared to death when she heard the words " report to the authorities " and " call the police ", had changed her personality today.!
Even Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, Qin Huiru, and the rest of the people in the courtyard were in disbelief when they heard Jia Zhangshi's reply.
