Siheyuan: I just want to wait until the end of the play

Seeing everyone looking at him, Silly Zhu quickly explained: "Xu Damao, my chicken has nothing to do with you. I bought it myself."

Li Qiao sneered in his heart. Silly Zhu's chicken was secretly brought back from the factory canteen, but he would never dare to admit it, because stealing chicken from the factory would have more serious consequences.

"Sinzhu is a chef, how could he steal a chicken? Li Qiao, you kid, don't even think about changing the subject!" Xu Damao bit Li Qiao and refused to let go.

Just then, the second uncle came in.

The second uncle's name is Liu Haizhong. He is a seventh-level fitter in the steel rolling mill. He sits in the backyard. He is an old official fanatic. He likes to show authority and is good at using embroidery needles as a mallet - making a fuss out of molehills.

"Second uncle, you are here, you are always here to comment! I went to the countryside to play a movie, and a fellow villager gave me two old hens. I plan to keep them at home to lay eggs. You see..."

Xu Damao hurriedly grabbed the second uncle and began to elaborate on the story.

The second uncle looked at the chicken stewed in Li Qiao's pot.

When he looked at Li Qiao again, his eyes were full of scrutiny.

“The stew is so fragrant!”

The second uncle squinted his eyes and sniffed, and said, "Li Qiao, tell the truth to the second uncle, did you steal Xu Damao's chicken?"

"Second uncle, don't talk nonsense. You are ruining my reputation. Be careful, I will sue you for slander." Li Qiao was not afraid at all.

"Second uncle, look at him, he still doesn't admit it!" Xu Damao was anxious.

The second uncle was also angry: "Li Qiao, where did you get the chicken?"

"Bought."

"Okay, if you don't admit what is certain, you don't even take it seriously! There is a big thief in our courtyard. This has never happened before! It seems that we must hold a hospital-wide meeting today to let everyone

Let’s denounce you together!”

The second uncle said angrily.

He felt that Li Qiao's attitude towards him was very disrespectful and undermined his dignity as the second uncle.

As soon as she heard that a hospital-wide meeting was going to be held, Qin Huairu's face turned ugly.

She had already guessed that it was probably her son Banggeng who had stolen Xu Damao's chicken.

Once things get serious, she's afraid...

"Second uncle, as for holding a general meeting of the hospital? It's just a chicken, can't we discuss it and solve it?" Qin Huairu said.

"Is that enough? Stealing chickens is a matter of moral character!" the second uncle said seriously.

"No, second uncle, what I mean is that as the second master of our courtyard, you have the final say on this matter, and it can be solved here. Besides, if Li Qiao didn't steal it, how could this chicken come out of nowhere one day?

If you run out, isn't this an injustice?"

These words immediately aroused Xu Damao's dissatisfaction: "Qin Huairu, what do you mean? Li Qiao didn't steal this chicken. Could it be that your cockroach stole it?"

Qin Huairu's original intention was to remove the stems of the stick, but she did not expect that it directly aroused suspicion. She immediately said angrily: "Xu Damao, what nonsense are you talking about? Come on, I don't care about your rags."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"We must catch this chicken thief in public! He's so arrogant! Call the first and third uncles for a meeting at eight o'clock!"

After the second uncle finished speaking, he also left.

When everyone saw that the second uncle was gone, they dispersed.

Xu Damao glared at Li Qiao: "Just wait for me!"

With that said, he pulled Lou Xiao'e away.

Li Qiao shrugged, not taking his words to heart at all.

I walked and sat upright and didn't care about his threats at all.

Besides, I already knew the plot, and I knew who the chicken thief was.

…

Qin Huairu's family.

During dinner, Qin Huairu found that none of the three children had any appetite.

This is not usually the case.

Qin Huairu suddenly became suspicious: "Banggen, tell the truth to mother, did you steal Xu Damao's chicken?"

"Qin Huairu, what nonsense are you talking about!" Jia Zhang, the evil mother-in-law who protects the calf, suddenly became furious, "Is our kid like that? If you dare to slander my grandson, I will strangle you to death!"

As he said that, he was about to get started.

Qin Huairu quickly dodged and pointed at the sleeves of her youngest daughter Huaihua and said, "Look at the oily spots on her sleeves. Plus she doesn't eat. If she hadn't eaten enough outside, would this have happened?"

Jia Zhang was speechless, but she still held the stick in her arms, as if she was ready to fight anyone at any time.

Qin Huairu asked Banggen again: "Banggen, tell the truth to mom, did you steal the chicken?"

Bangge just shook his head and said nothing.

"Xiao Dang?"

Qin Huairu looked at her second daughter, Xiaodang.

Xiaodang quickly buried his face in the bowl and said angrily: "I don't know."

"Sophora japonica?"

Qin Huairu looked at her youngest daughter.

Huaihua looked innocent: "Mom, the beggar's chicken made by my brother is delicious. I want to eat it next time."

Qin Huairu sighed.

Bangge was still quibbling: "I didn't steal that chicken, it flew out on its own. If I didn't catch it, it would run away!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang also quickly defended her grandson: "That's right! My dear grandson can't steal the chicken. The chicken came out on its own. If you don't eat it, you will eat it for free! If you want to blame it, blame that damn Xu Damao. He didn't know there were two chickens.

Send one to us, he deserves to be unable to give birth to a son, and the old Xu family will have no descendants!"

Qin Huairu opened her mouth, but said nothing.

"Qin Huairu, you have to cover up this matter for my dear grandson!" Jia Zhang said fiercely, "Let that kid Li Qiao take the blame, or if it doesn't work, let Silly Zhu take the blame. Anyway, I can't let my good grandson get ruined.

Reputation is up to you!"

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Qin Huairu nodded silently.

…

8pm.

The middle courtyard is brightly lit.

"It's a meeting! It's a meeting! Every household is here!"

Xu Damao jumped up and down urging.

He even ran to Li Qiao's door and shouted: "Li Qiao, you kid, don't even think about hiding!"

Li Qiao smiled and shook his head, took a stool and walked towards the middle courtyard.

Dozens of people have gathered in the courtyard.

In front of the crowd, there is an Eight Immortals table.

There are three enamel jars on the table.

The three uncles have already taken their seats.

In the center is the first uncle Yi Zhonghai, on the left is the second uncle Liu Haizhong, and on the right is the third uncle Yan Bugui.

Li Qiao found a place with a lot of people and sat behind the crowd.

He was not used to showing up in front of others and felt very restricted.

However, today's meeting is related to him.

He had to bite the bullet and come to participate.

When the second uncle Liu Haizhong saw that people were almost there, he took the lead in speaking:

"Today's meeting is about one thing. A chicken was stolen from Xu Damao's house, but at this time, there were chickens stewed on the stove in someone's house, and there were more than one family. This may or may not be a coincidence, right?

So I analyzed it with the first and third elders and decided to hold a hospital-wide meeting. Next, I will ask the most senior senior officer in our hospital to preside over the meeting."

The first man said: "Don't say anything else, everyone knows it. Li Qiao, tell the truth in front of everyone, did you steal the Xu family's chicken?"

Li Qiao was hiding in the crowd. When he heard this, he had to stand up.

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on him.

It's really stressful for him to bear the attention of so many people!

Li Qiao kept encouraging himself in his heart: "Hold on, hold on, just treat them like cabbages, treat them like cabbages..."

"How did this kid Li Qiao get involved with stealing chickens?"

"Yes, this child is usually quite honest and silent!"

"After his parents died, I rarely saw him!"

"He usually leaves early and comes home late, as if he is avoiding us on purpose!"

"I didn't expect that this kid would dare to steal chickens? And dare to steal Xu Damao's chickens?"

Everyone was talking a lot.

At this time, Li Qiao finally completed his psychological construction, faced everyone's gaze, and said firmly: "I didn't steal the chicken. I bought the chicken, and I have proof."

As he said that, he took out a bill from his pocket, walked over and handed it to the uncle.

Each of the materials rewarded by the system will come with its source.

For example, the old butter hen just now had a bill stuffed in her belly.

Fortunately, Li Qiao took out the receipt when he was making chicken stew, otherwise he wouldn't be able to tell clearly now.

"Red Star Supply and Marketing Cooperative? Internal special supply?"

The old man looked at the words on the bill and was shocked.

This bill is absolutely authentic, and the seals on it are flawless.

The second uncle and the third uncle also looked at the receipt and couldn't help but look at Li Qiao with admiration.

"Li Qiao, you can actually go to the Red Star Supply and Marketing Cooperative in our factory to buy chickens. The price is not low, right? This is the first time in our compound!"

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, praised him with his tongue.

At the same time, I secretly sighed in my heart, it is good if one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. When buying things, I buy special in-house supplies. I am really willing to spend money!

The uncle said: "The products from the Red Star Supply and Marketing Cooperative are good, but they are expensive. Li Qiao, don't spend money lavishly in the future."

The second uncle Liu Haizhong’s face looked very ugly.

He had insisted that Li Qiao was a thief before, but now he was slapped in the face?

"You three gentlemen, since I didn't steal the chicken, I request that you call the police and let the police catch the chicken thief!"

Li Qiaoyi said sternly.

Hearing this, Qin Huairu in front felt her eyes go dark and almost fainted.

She understood that it was no longer possible for Li Qiao to take the blame for her.

So, she cast her pleading eyes on Silly Zhu...
