Yi Zhonghai thought that Qin Huairu was a widow and Sha Zhu was also unmarried. If he could bring the two of them together, then someone would take care of him in his old age.
"Wang Qiang, stop making trouble. Since Sha Zhu has already admitted it, I think we should handle this matter this way."
Yi Zhonghai said this, thinking that as long as he did this, Qin Huairu would definitely be extremely grateful to Sha Zhu, and then things would be much easier.
"Uncle, that's not how it works. We must never let a bad person go free, but we must never wrong an innocent person either."
Wang Qiang had long seen through Yi Zhonghai's little scheme. Yi Zhonghai's lifelong scheming against Sha Zhu was all about getting Sha Zhu to be his son in his old age and see him off in his final days.
Moreover, this guy would secretly send food to Qin Huairu from time to time. I wonder what he was planning. Maybe he thought Qin Huairu was fertile and wanted to use her as a surrogate mother.
Wang Qiang's gaze darted around him, occasionally drifting towards Qin Huairu.
"Wang Qiang. What exactly do you want? Let me tell you, I'm the one who did this today, so what?"
Seeing that Wang Qiang was still relentless, Sha Zhu became anxious, fearing that things might change if he dragged it out. Instead, he stood up and shouted.
"It's Wang Qiang, what exactly do you want?"
Xu Damao chimed in. He and Sha Zhu had always been at odds, but today they had unexpectedly teamed up.
"Wang Qiang, don't cause trouble here. The matter is already very clear. Xu Damao, get a public relations person here immediately."
Yan Bugui, always eager for drama, believed that if the police were called in, Sha Zhu would be utterly defeated. Meanwhile, Yi Zhonghai consistently favored Sha Zhu; if Sha Zhu were taken down, Yi Zhonghai's position at the School of Management would be in jeopardy.
When Yi Zhonghai heard Yan Bugui say he was going to call the police, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Have you washed it? We're all from the same compound, so I don't think it's Sha Zhu's fault. We agreed beforehand to resolve this in the compound, so there's no need to trouble the police."
"If word gets out, everyone in our compound will lose face."
Xu Damao was smug at this moment, not only could he get Sha Zhu to compensate him, but he could also get Wang Qiang to accompany him.
“I’ll definitely give you face, Uncle, but Sha Zhu has to compensate me for my old hen. Also, Wang Qiang just lost a bet. Everyone here is a witness, so you must testify for me.”
"Okay, it's settled then."
Yi Zhonghai readily agreed. After all, it wasn't his money, and as long as the matter didn't escalate, he would still be the boss of the management department.
"Who gave you the right to make that decision? Just because you say so doesn't mean it's all the same to you."
Looking at their ugly faces, Wang Qiang couldn't help but complain.
“Who gave you the right to speak? Since the old man has already agreed, then let’s do it this way.” Sha Zhu supported the decision, contradicting Wang Qiang.
"Silly Zhu, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
After Wang Qiang finished speaking, he looked at Qin Huairu, and then at Banggeng, who was hiding in Jia Zhangshi's arms.
"Why are you looking at Banggeng? He's just a child. There's no way he could have stolen it!"
When Sha Zhu saw Wang Qiang looking at Bang Geng, he thought Wang Qiang was about to mention Bang Geng, so he quickly interrupted him.
"Shazhu, are you trying to curry favor with Qin Huairu? I never said Banggeng stole it, why are you in such a hurry?"
Wang Qiang's words made Sha Zhu blush deeply. He stammered, then suddenly blurted out...
"Wang Qiang, don't go looking for trouble. You're meddling in other people's business. So what if I want to say something? If you piss me off, I'll beat you to a pulp."
"Smack!"
Just as Sha Zhu finished speaking, Wang Qiang suddenly appeared in front of him, raised his hand and slapped Sha Zhu. Before Sha Zhu could react, Wang Qiang kicked him to the ground with a thud.
"You think you can fight me? Who do you think you are?"
These moves stunned everyone. No one expected Wang Qiang to dare to make a move, and to knock down Sha Zhu, the strongest fighter in the courtyard, in one fell swoop.
How could you hit someone?
Yi Zhonghai made his statement first, but was intimidated by a look from Wang Qiang and stopped himself.
“I declare that Xu Damao’s chickens were not stolen at all; Xu Damao is crying wolf.”
Wang Qiang's words were like a bombshell, leaving everyone even more stunned than when he had just knocked down Sha Zhu.
"What nonsense are you talking about? My old hen is definitely missing."
Xu Damao couldn't believe his eyes. He had clearly discovered that the old hen was indeed missing, so how could it not have been lost?
"If Da Mao's old hen wasn't stolen, why did Sha Zhu admit to stealing it?"
Yan Bugui asked.
"I'll tell you why. It's because Sha Zhu saw Bang Geng holding a chicken and thought Bang Geng had stolen it, so he wanted to take the blame himself to curry favor with Qin Huairu."
Wang Qiang's words struck a chord with Sha Zhu. He had initially tried to fight back after being knocked to the ground by Wang Qiang, but after his true colors were exposed, he swallowed his anger and squatted to the side.
Qin Huairu blushed deeply at those words and hurriedly denied it.
He Yushui was extremely disappointed in her brother. She had gone to great lengths to bring Yu Li home, hoping to matchmake Sha Zhu and Yu Li. She never expected that her brother would be so foolish, still having his eyes on that widow Qin Huairu!
"What evidence do you have that Xu Damao's old hen wasn't lost?"
Yan Jiecheng shouted, he had absolutely no good feelings towards Wang Qiang.
"Because Xu Damao's old hen is in his cage! Now we can go see it!"
After Wang Qiang finished speaking, everyone naturally didn't believe him, so they all went to Xu Damao's house, only to be surprised to find that the old hen was indeed in the cage.
"Xu Damao, you're crying wolf and falsely accusing others. What crime should you be charged with? We'll take you to the police station immediately. But considering we live in the same courtyard, you only need to abide by the betting agreement and leave the courtyard."
Wang Qiang pointed at Xu Damao's nose and said.
Xu Damao stared at the old hen in the cage and collapsed to the ground. How could this be? He had clearly discovered that the old hen was missing, but now it was alive and kicking in his cage. He couldn't understand it at all.
"What do you mean? Xu Damao's chickens were clearly not stolen. Are you trying to frame our Banggeng for stealing them and take the blame for him, or are you after Qin Huairu?"
When Jia Zhangshi saw that Xu Damao's chickens were still there, she immediately confronted Sha Zhu and made sure that Xu Damao's false accusation was true so that she could drive him away. In her opinion, once Xu Damao was gone, she could get his house. As for Wang Qiang? He was a bachelor and definitely couldn't compete with her.
"Xu Damao, what's going on?"
Yan Bugui, ever opportunistic, had originally been on the same side as Xu Damao, but now he was eager to sever ties.
"I... I don't know what happened, but our old hen is definitely missing..."
Xu Damao thought he was hallucinating, but what he saw was truly happening before his eyes.
