These things are not worth much and are large in size, so most people would not steal them.

Now that something like this has happened, it’s better to take a look and clean up what needs to be cleaned up.

They are all checking to see if anything in their homes has been stolen.

Fortunately, nothing was stolen.

It seems that this thief only steals expensive items.

People are too lazy to steal these large things.

They didn't have any tools, just two stolen bicycles. How much stuff could these bicycles carry?

This thing is heavy and affects the speed of sneaking away.

Nothing was lost in other people's homes, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, food is so scarce. If all the food is stolen, we will have no way to survive.

Food is more important than life.

Losing his bicycle was such a big deal, so Sha Zhu was in no mood to cook.

He arranged for the apprentice to cook, but there was still a big gap between the apprentice's cooking level and Sha Zhu's, which the workers could tell as soon as they ate the food.

How can the workers not make trouble if the food is not good?

They don’t care whether Shazhu lost his bicycle or not. It’s not their bicycle, so it has nothing to do with them if it is lost.

The canteen director scolded Sha Zhu because of this incident.

I knew that Shazhu had lost his bicycle. In this era, bicycles are big items and they carry a lot of weight in a person's heart.

So there was no punishment for Sha Zhu.

Otherwise, Shazhu will definitely be fined.

Zhang Weiguo had his meal. The meal was indeed not tasty and not oily at all.

No wonder the workers were making a fuss. They were all doing physical labor. Not only was there no oil, but the food also didn't taste good. How could this be acceptable? They had paid for it.

I finally waited until the end of get off work.

Back in the courtyard, Zhang Weiguo started cooking.

The situation is really bad at this time. Even if you have good food, you dare not eat it.

Now everyone has little food to eat, and you eat delicious food all day long. How can that be okay?

Others will report you out of jealousy, and it’s not easy to get food now.

There must be something wrong with the source of the food you have.

Although Zhang Weiguo had no shortage of food, he did not dare to eat openly.

I can only eat it secretly.

You must eat less meat because the smell of meat is so fragrant that the whole courtyard can smell it after you eat a meal of meat.

Usually I just boil a few more eggs and scramble them.

There is nothing wrong with eating eggs. Uncle Er eats one egg every day.

Zhang Weiguo was cooking when someone came to inform him that there would be a meeting in the evening.

Zhang Weiguo had already guessed that there would be a meeting tonight.

After having dinner with Ran Qiuye, he brought the two little girls to the central courtyard.

At this time, the central courtyard was already full of people.

Except for Xu Damao who went to the countryside to show movies, everyone else came.

There was a table in front, and three old men were sitting behind the table, with a teacup in front of each of them.

Zhang Weiguo took two stools and found a corner to sit down.

Wait until all the people are here.

The third uncle cleared his throat and said, "The purpose of today's meeting is to discuss the stolen bicycles."

"Two bicycles were stolen. This is a major incident that has never happened in Siheyuan before. This matter must be dealt with seriously and the thieves' arrogance must not be encouraged."

The third uncle talked a lot of nonsense.

"Now, please allow the elder uncle to speak."

"Our compound has always been an advanced compound, and not even a needle or thread has been lost. This time such a big incident happened, and we must strengthen our prevention."

"Besides, losing a bicycle is such an important matter. Zhuzi's life is very difficult. We are all neighbors, so we should help those who need help."

"Thank you, uncle." said Sha Zhu.

"I'll take the lead and donate ten dollars." The old man said and gave Sha Zhu ten dollars.

The second and third uncles were dumbfounded. You said you wanted to hold a meeting, but you didn't say you wanted to donate money.

They don't want to donate money at all.

The bicycle belongs to Shazhu, not to them, so why should they pay for it?

The two uncles did not respond to the eldest uncle's words.

Jia Zhang refused to do it.

"Uncle, it's not just Shazhu who lost his car, our family also lost a car, can you donate money to our family as well?"

"Let's talk about it when you get back. Today is Shazhu's house."

The uncle didn't care about Xu Damao at all. Xu Damao was a villain. It was impossible to support him in his old age.

Why would an old man donate money to Xu Damao?

If it's a good joke, an old man might still take care of it.

Now that Jia Zhang married Xu Damao, it is difficult to say what will happen to Bang Geng in his old age.

Jia Zhangshi's grandmother Banggeng could not even provide for Xu Damao in his old age.

Therefore, the uncle’s main target now is Shazhu.

She doesn't care about the others, as for Banggeng, it all depends on his performance.

If Bang Geng performs well, he will still rely on Bang Geng. If he performs poorly, he will simply give up Bang Geng and live with him in his old age.

Anyway, having Shazhu to support me in my old age is enough.

Now the uncle’s main target is Shazhu.

Sha Zhu took the money from the first uncle and turned his gaze to the second uncle.

The second uncle was frightened by Sha Zhu's gaze and reluctantly took out five dollars from his pocket and gave it to Sha Zhu.

"Thank you, Uncle."

The second uncle thought to himself: "You spent five dollars to say thank you, and I feel a little sorry for it."

Sha Zhu looked at the third uncle again.

When the third uncle saw that the second uncle had also given money, he took out a dollar.

I gave it to Sha Zhu with great reluctance.

Although the life of the Third Uncle's family has improved now, he is still as stingy as ever. He will feel sad about this dollar for the whole night.

"Uncle, this is not right." Zhang Weiguo said.

"Shazhu lost his bicycle, which deserves sympathy, but we didn't steal it, so why should we pay for it?"

"Besides, Shazhu never lent us his bicycle. He lost his bicycle and asked us to pay for it. This is not fair."

"If we talk about the person who should be paid the most, it should be Widow Qin. He rides Sha Zhu's bicycle to work every day."

"She should be the one to pay for this."

After Zhang Weiguo finished speaking, the old man's face turned black.

He didn't expect Zhang Weiguo to come out and disrupt the situation.

He was kind of happy that he had dealt with the second and third uncles, but now he was completely unhappy.

Others also agreed, yes, uncle, what you did is wrong.

Shazhu's bike has never been used by us, so why should we pay for it?

That’s right, we don’t need money.

No one paid.

Originally, when everyone saw that the three old men had handed in, they thought they could not escape.

Zhang Weiguo suddenly spoke out in opposition, and they immediately followed suit.

Ask them to come forward, but they won't.

When someone takes the lead, they are willing to follow suit and cheer.

The third uncle saw that no one else paid.

So he asked, "Shazhu, can you give me the money first?"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he thought, how can this be possible? I will give it back to you.

Once I return it to you, it's gone. How can I possibly return the money I got from you with great difficulty?
