Chapter 3: Things in the Courtyard (Major Changes)
Lin Hao lived in the central courtyard, right next to the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai. This house was a wing of the quadrangle, not far from Sha Zhu's main house.

After tidying up the house, he hurried out to watch the fun. As soon as he went out, he heard Xu Damao yelling, "Xiao E, why don't you call someone over? Call the first uncle, the second uncle, and the third uncle over here."

Then He Yuzhu shouted, "You are just a big rooster, stepping on eggs but not laying them."

You know what, Sha Zhu's mouth is really poisonous! Every word hurts the heart, and Xu Damao is so angry that he can't speak.

Then Qin Huairu's voice of persuasion was heard.

As soon as I walked to the door of Sha Zhu's house, I saw the second uncle hurriedly entering Sha Zhu's house.

For such a famous scene, Lin Hao of course had to go in and take a look at the excitement.

Seeing Liu Haizhong coming in, Xu Damao finally found someone to talk to, and said angrily: "Second Uncle, you've come at the right time. Please give me some advice. A few days ago, I went to the Red Star Commune and showed movies to people. To thank me, they gave me two old hens. You know about this, right?"

Liu Haizhong put on a full leadership style, nodded and then said: "I know, that's what happened, what's the matter!"

Xu Damao was so excited that even his voice changed. "I just got off work and I saw there was only one chicken left in the coop. Look over here again."

There was half a fragrant chicken stewing in the pot on the small coal stove. Even Lin Hao's smell made his mouth water, and saliva kept secreting from his mouth.

Liu Haizhong swallowed and hurried to the stove. He stirred the chicken in the pot and saw that there was only half a chicken with no head or feet, which looked a bit strange.

"It's quite delicious, silly Zhu, this is really your doing."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he felt even more upset and felt that he was wronged again. Is he, He Yuzhu, such a person?
So he didn't give Liu Haizhong any face and directly retorted, "You should get a pair of glasses and see clearly first."

Seeing that Sha Zhu didn't give me any face at all and confronted me in front of so many people, I felt very embarrassed. Didn't I see that Xu Damao was always polite to me? I still don't believe that I can't cure you.

Liu Haizhong immediately shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, tell me, where did you get your chicken?"

Sha Zhu's eyes were a little vague. He thought about the origin of his half chicken, which was taken from the entertaining leader. He was a little speechless and said, "I bought it. Is it your business?"

Liu Haizhong noticed that Sha Zhu looked strange, and thought he had found Sha Zhu's weakness, so he raised his chin and said, "I bought it. Where did you buy it?"

Sha Zhu was also angry, but at the same time he was a little speechless. He immediately realized that this lie was not easy to cover up, so he looked at Qin Huairu next to him, thought about her children, and simply said in despair: "I stole it, so what!"

At this time, Liu Haizhong said proudly: "You admit that you stole it, okay!"

He turned to Xu Damao and said, "Please notify the first uncle and the third uncle and hold a meeting of the whole hospital."

Xu Damao was a little surprised. This was not like the usual Sha Zhu. He would definitely not admit it in the past. But he could not care less and hurried out to find the first and third uncles. They would definitely teach Sha Zhu a lesson this time. And the chicken being stolen was just a small matter.

Qin Huairu was feeling depressed. Combining what Sha Zhu had told her today, about Banggeng and the other kids eating beggar's chicken, she already had some guesses in her mind.

She didn't want this to get out of hand, so she quickly said to the Second Uncle, "Second Uncle, it's just a small matter, is it necessary to hold a meeting for the whole hospital?"

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong acted as if he was speaking for the people and said, "What do you mean by 'it's that serious'? This is a question of moral character. Our hospital has not lost a single needle or thread in more than ten years. Is losing a chicken a small matter?"

Qin Huairu knew that Liu Haizhong was going to show off his power again.

So he kept flattering her: "That's not what I meant, Second Master. I thought you were the second in command of our hospital! As for this matter, you can make the decision here and it can be solved."

Seeing that Liu Haizhong's expression relaxed, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Qin Huairu said quickly: "Let's not talk about whether Sha Zhu stole the chicken first. Let's ask everyone to help find it. If this chicken comes out from some corner, wouldn't it be unfair to accuse Sha Zhu?"

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she immediately became angry. She had already determined that the chicken was stolen by Sha Zhu, and immediately said in dissatisfaction:
"Qin Huairu, what do you mean? If he didn't steal the chicken, who did? Was it Bang Geng?"

Although Lou Xiao'e's words were unintentional, they touched Qin Huairu's sore spot. Thinking of her own children and looking at Sha Zhu who was drinking, she dared not say anything more.

He had no choice but to say, "What nonsense are you talking about? Okay, I don't care about your shitty business." Then he turned around and left Sha Zhu's house. Qin Huairu went home and prepared to interrogate Bang Geng about stealing the chicken.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the others also left.

Seeing Sha Zhu holding the wine glass and drinking without any care, Lou Xiao'e pointed at him and said angrily:

"Just wait, huh!"

Seeing that everyone had left, Lin Hao thought this was very interesting.

It can be seen that Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu have some ideas about each other.

Otherwise, Sha Zhu would not have been so protective of Qin Huairu's child.

However, in his heart, Qin Huairu is not his first choice, but a backup. If he really can't find a suitable person to marry, Qin Huairu can be a makeshift one.

As for Qin Huairu, she might have real feelings for Sha Zhu. After all, he has been helping her unsparingly for so many years, and she is not blind;

However, in her heart, the child is the most important. Besides, she has a mother-in-law to pressure her, so her feelings for him have to take a back seat.

After Lin Hao saw that everyone had left, he prepared to go back, but when he reached the door, his stomach started to growl.

After thinking for a while, he walked back, found a stool and sat down, and said to Sha Zhu:

"Brother Yuzhu, I see your stewed chicken is very delicious. I haven't eaten yet, how about I have a bite with you?"

Sha Zhu glared at Lin Hao and said unhappily, "Get lost, why are you everywhere? This chicken is for my sister's health."

Lin Hao smiled nonchalantly and said, "Haha, I think that by the evening, your chicken will probably be gone, so why not let us have a snack first, right!"

"Don't even think about it, there's no place for you!"

Seeing that he couldn't get the chicken, Lin Hao didn't force it.

"Oh, by the way, the rain hasn't come back yet?"

Sha Zhu reacted immediately, knowing what Lin Hao was up to, and said vigilantly:

"Hey kid, my sister is getting engaged soon, don't try to get my sister's attention, or I'll beat you up!"

Lin Hao stood up with some disappointment after hearing this and said to Sha Zhu:

"I do have some ideas about Yu Shui. After all, we are of the same age and know each other well!"

"Hey~! Don't get excited!" Seeing Sha Zhu picking up the bottle, Lin Hao quickly stopped him and said, "Since you already have a partner, just forget it!"

That's better, if you dare to hit my sister, I'll break your legs, Sha Zhu threatened.

Lin Hao didn't care about Sha Zhu's threat, but reminded:
But then again, you should think about where you bought the chicken! "

When Lin Hao said the word "buy" in a heavy voice, the peanuts that Sha Zhu was holding fell down.

Banggeng's theft has already happened and cannot be changed, so he will try to change the outcome of the next college meeting. However, he does not want to be the first to take action, so he wants to stay behind the scenes.

Lin Hao didn't even wait for Sha Zhu to speak, he turned around and left.
