Chapter 5: Full House Meeting Completed (Major Revision)

It is very clear what these people are thinking. They are not worried about the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of distribution. You are just foolishly trying to help Qin Huairu, but you can't even smell anything from other families.

Unlike others, Lin Hao has read the reviews of Siheyuan and, combined with the current situation, he has some clues.

The purpose of Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong might be to make Sha Zhu admit to stealing the chicken, and then use him to attack Yi Zhonghai and cut off his wings.

You know, the reason why Yi Zhonghai can hold on to his position as a big boss is not only because of his own prestige, but also because of Sha Zhu, his right-hand man.

Perhaps there is another reason. The incident against Sha Zhu was most likely instigated by Xu Damao, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.

As for dealing with Yi Zhonghai, it might be the tacit understanding between Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai vaguely understood the other two people's thoughts. You know, in this courtyard, He Yuzhu is not only his right-hand man, but also the person he chose to take care of him in his old age!
Yi Zhonghai knew that he couldn't let the situation continue to develop further. These two people were singing the same tune and definitely had bad intentions.

So he quickly said, "Okay, stop talking about irrelevant things. The factory's affairs are the factory's affairs, and our compound is the compound's affairs."

Then he started to smooth things over for Sha Zhu, reminding him:

"He Yuzhu, I'll give you one more chance. Tell me whether you stole the chicken from Xu Damao's house."

"Is it because of the quarrel with Xu Damao?"

Yi Zhonghai almost made it clear that as long as he admitted to stealing the chicken and then downgraded it to a personal grudge and paid a few dollars in compensation at most, he could avoid the crime of stealing factory property.

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu worriedly, afraid that Sha Zhu would deny stealing the chicken and then implicate her son Bang Geng.

When Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu looking at him with big watery eyes and a look of expectation, he said without hesitation:
"Bullshit, everyone knows who I am, He Yuzhu. How could I be the one who stole the factory's property?"

Yi Zhonghai has already thought of a countermeasure. No matter what Sha Zhu says, he has an excuse to help him get away with it!

He thought Sha Zhu would admit to stealing the chicken, and then he would use personal conflicts as an excuse to excuse Sha Zhu, but he didn't expect him to deny it directly.

Was it possible that he was really wronged? So he asked:
"Then don't beat around the bush with us. Tell us clearly where your chicken came from. I want to see who dares to wrongly accuse you!"

At this time, Sha Zhu glanced at Lin Hao, and then said loudly to everyone in the courtyard:

“This chicken!” Sha Zhu paused for a moment, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he said, “It was given to me by my apprentice Ma Hua!”

Then he opened the lid of the pot and said:
"As everyone knows, I have an apprentice in the factory. He has almost mastered the basic skills and wants me to teach him how to cook."

"I saw that Ma Hua's family was not well off, so I only took in half a chicken."

"Look everyone, isn't it only half a chicken?"

When everyone came over to take a look, they saw that there was indeed only half a chicken, and then they started talking about it. Could it be that Xu Damao's chicken was really not Sha Zhu's business?

"Impossible, how could it be such a coincidence? What if your apprentice stole it?" Xu Damao said unwillingly.

Everyone also felt that Xu Damao was trying every means to get rid of Sha Zhu, which was why he framed Sha Zhu like this, so they all looked at Xu Damao with disgust.

Sha Zhu was certainly not the type to just take a beating without saying anything, so he said:
"A master just asked me if I had any personal grudge against Xu Damao. To be honest, it really is the case!"

"This Xu Damao, he spreads rumors everywhere all day long, and even came to our cafeteria to tell our boss~!"

Shazhu didn't know what to say and didn't know which rumor Xu Damao made up.

Lin Hao asked with a gossipy look on his face:

"Hey~! What are you talking about! Are you talking about you and Sister Qin? Tell me the details, the details!"

Seeing Lin Hao's mean look when he spoke, Sha Zhu wanted to beat him up, but after hearing what Lin Hao said, he reacted immediately:
"Oh, right, it means that I have an improper relationship with Sister Qin!" Then he turned to Lou Xiao'e and said, "I guess Xu Damao might have some bad intentions towards Sister Qin and want to ruin her reputation!"

Sha Zhu is also a black-hearted person. He retaliates against Xu Damao and directly sows discord between him and Lou Xiaoe.

Qin Huairu also reacted and realized that the matter had been resolved. Even if the police were called, it would probably be a unsolved case.

So, Qin Huairu immediately joined in with tears in her eyes:

"Yes! Uncle, this Xu Damao is always talking nonsense. You have to make a decision for me. How can people live in the future if Xu Damao destroys people's reputation like this?"

Lin Hao was laughing as he watched from the side. Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu sang in unison, and it looked like they were a couple that followed each other.

Lou Xiao'e turned around and asked Xu Damao: "Did you really say that?"

Xu Damao, who looked confused, quickly explained: "I just drank a little bit of wine. How can I remember whether I said it or not?"

While slapping Xu Damao, Lou Xiao'e complained, "You only know how to drink and ask you to drink." After saying that, she slapped him again, feeling unsatisfied.

Yi Zhonghai saw that Sha Zhu had smoothed things over, so he said in a relaxed tone:
"Everyone has heard it, right? The chicken stewed in He Yuzhu's house was given to him by his apprentice as a gift, and has nothing to do with the chicken in Xu Damao's house.

The people around nodded one after another, indicating that Sha Zhu was indeed wronged. As for what they were thinking in their hearts, only they themselves knew it!
Seeing that everyone agreed with his point of view, Yi Zhonghai didn't want them to continue to dwell on this matter, so he said:

"Second uncle, third uncle, should we end this meeting here?"

When he heard that the meeting was about to end, before the two uncles could say anything, Xu Damao jumped up anxiously:

"Uncle, that won't work. My chicken, we haven't found it yet!"

Lou Xiao'e pulled Xu Damao at this time:

"Let's just forget it. It's just one or two dollars. There's no need to make such a fuss." Lou Xiao'e felt that there was no need to ruin the relationship between the neighbors in the yard for a little money.

"You spendthrift woman, I raise this old hen in my house to lay eggs, and I will use it as a confinement nanny when you get pregnant."

When Sha Zhu heard Xu Damao talking about laying eggs and confinement, he got carried away and said:

"Oh, you're still in confinement and laying eggs. Can your wife lay eggs? We've been married for so many years and there's been no sign of her laying eggs. If she was going to lay eggs, she would have done it long ago. We've been married for so many years and she just steps on eggs but doesn't lay eggs."

Xu Damao shouted loudly: "Silly Zhu!"

Lou Xiao'e also got angry and said angrily: "Shazhu, you bastard."

Sha Zhu said disdainfully: "Okay, don't mention the eggs."

Lin Hao frowned and looked at Sha Zhu, thinking that Sha Zhu was a psychopath. What's wrong with him? He didn't have any idea what was going on and why was he so mean?

"He Yuzhu, let me be fair. The conflict between you and Xu Damao should be resolved by Xu Damao. Lou Xiao'e did provoke you, and it is wrong for you to insult a female comrade!"

Then Lin Hao nodded at Sha Zhu again:
"Besides, the matter of stealing the chicken has been cleared up, and the matter is over. Don't make trouble for no reason!"

There was another burst of discussion among the crowd, and everyone felt that what Lin Hao said made sense.

When Sha Zhu heard what Lin Hao said, he realized that he had to let this matter pass as soon as possible, so he simply kept silent.

Xu Damao lost his chicken and was very angry. He thought for a while and shouted again:

"I don't know which bastard stole it, the one who gave birth to a child without having an opening!"

"This matter is not over yet, I have to find the police to investigate!"

At this time, Yi Zhonghai could no longer sit still. No matter who stole the chicken, he didn't want the news of a thief to spread in the yard. If that happened, the reputation of their yard would be ruined!

So he had to say:

"Xu Damao, don't worry!" Yi Zhonghai said to everyone: I think everyone in the yard should help look for the chicken everywhere, just in case it ran away by itself!"

After thinking about it, he felt that Xu Damao might not give in easily, so he said:

"Of course, if it was really taken by someone from our hospital, no matter what your reason was, buy someone a chicken in the next two days and leave it at my doorstep. I will help you return the chicken to Xu Damao."

"Xu Damao, do you think my way of handling this is okay? If you think it's okay, then let's do it this way. If you don't agree, or no one returns the chicken to you, then you can call the police. I believe the police will give you justice."

At this time, people in the yard had different opinions, but most of them felt that they should be given a chance to correct their behavior. Besides, it was not certain whether the chicken was stolen by someone in the yard.

Seeing this, Xu Damao hesitated. If he did not agree, he would offend everyone in the hospital.

He was not afraid of offending the people in the hospital, but he did not dare to oppose the entire hospital. Xu Damao thought about it and said reluctantly:

"That's fine, but I plan to keep the chicken for laying eggs. Compensating for just one is definitely not enough. I need more~!"

Before Xu Damao could finish, Lou Xiao'e interrupted him and said with a frown:
"Okay, that's it. Just give us a hen as compensation. We are all neighbors, and we can't hurt the harmony among us."

Lou Xiao'e interrupted Xu Damao in time, and everyone felt that Lou Xiao'e was reasonable.

At this time, both Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief, as the matter was finally over.

So Yi Zhonghai said: "Okay, today's meeting ends here, adjourn!"

"Wait~!" At this time Lin Hao stood up and asked everyone to wait.
