When Lou Xiao'e returned home and told Xu Damao, Xu Damao immediately became anxious. How could it be missing? He had locked the chicken coop properly.
Thinking of this, he immediately cursed Lou Xiao'e in his heart a few times. What a useless piece of trash, she can't even keep an eye on a chicken. He then bypassed Lou Xiao'e and went to look for her in the yard.
When Xu Damao arrived at the Intermediate People's Court, he happened to smell the aroma coming from Sha Zhu's house. Without thinking, he pushed open the door and immediately saw Sha Zhu cooking chicken soup in a clay pot.
He immediately turned and yelled at Sha Zhu, "Sha Zhu, where did this chicken come from? Did you steal my chicken?"
When Sha Zhu heard Xu Damao accuse him of stealing chickens, he got angry and immediately shouted, "Is it any of your business? Come on, come on, ask if this chicken is yours? And do you even own any chickens?"
You come up here accusing me of stealing your chickens? What kind of person are you? Get lost! Be careful not to drool in there!
Lou Xiao'e heard the arguing between Xu Damao and Shazhu inside Shazhu's house and came in from the yard: "Damao, what's going on?"
Xu Damao pointed to the chicken in the casserole and said, "E'zi, look, we found our lost chicken. That bastard Sha Zhu stole it."
Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e glared angrily at Sha Zhu and immediately complained, "Sha Zhu, you're too greedy! My husband and I haven't even eaten this chicken; we're saving it for eggs! How can you be like this?"
When Sha Zhu heard Lou Xiao'e mention laying eggs, he chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, you two really should start thinking about laying eggs."
Xu Damao understood that Sha Zhu was mocking him for not having children, and immediately flew into a rage. He picked up a stove hook from the ground and pointed it at Sha Zhu: "Sha Zhu, you've gone too far! I'll fight you to the death today!" Sha Zhu, that bastard, stole his chicken and was still so arrogant!
Everyone in the compound knows that the child is not only a lifelong pain for Yi Zhonghai, but also for Xu Damao. Xu Damao is also anxious. He and Lou Xiao'e have been married for so many years and still don't have a child. People in the compound have probably laughed at him countless times for this.
Seeing that Xu Damao still dared to fight him, Sha Zhu immediately grabbed a kitchen knife from the cutting board and said, "Come on, Xu Damao. If you don't fight me today, you're not a real man."
Bah! Xu Damao, you coward! You dare to lay a hand on me? Do you think you're from the MCA? Even though Sha Zhu got beaten up by the MCA yesterday...
He was already a little unhappy, but now that he saw Xu Damao was about to fight him, he was overjoyed. Finally, he could find someone to vent his anger on.
Xu Damao was also stunned. He really didn't dare to fight with Sha Zhu. He could only stand aside and scold, "Sha Zhu, you thief, you bastard, are you even human? You steal from the same courtyard! Bah!"
Sha Zhu got anxious when he heard this. He hated being called a thief the most, and immediately retorted: "Xu Damao, you are just a big rooster that crows but doesn't lay eggs. Bah! You even said I stole things. You childless bastard."
Just as the two were about to clash, Qin Huairu pushed open the door and entered. Seeing the posture of Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, she immediately became anxious. These were the two biggest fish in her pond, and she couldn't afford to cause any harm to them.
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu immediately shouted angrily, "Put it down, put it down, all of you put it down! We're all from the same courtyard, what are you doing!"
Uncle Liu Haizhong, the second oldest in the courtyard, was also attracted by the noise inside. He was the most respected leader in the courtyard, so he had to come and see what was going on.
Uncle Liu Haizhong never expected that as soon as he entered the house, Xu Damao would grab his arm tightly.
Xu Damao quickly grabbed Liu Haizhong's arm; this was his savior! "Second Uncle, you be the judge! You know, a few days ago I went to the commune to show a movie, and the leaders there thought I did a good job, so they gave me two chickens."
"I can't believe Sha Zhu stole one of mine today! You're the boss of our backyard, you know! Isn't Sha Zhu going too far?!"
Second Uncle Liu Haizhong first pretended to stir the chicken in the casserole with a spoon, then swallowed hard: "Shazhu, this chicken smells pretty good! Did you really do this?"
Sha Zhu got impatient and retorted, "You should go get your glasses, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Uncle Liu Haizhong was furious when he saw Sha Zhu's attitude. He was a leader in the courtyard, and how dare Sha Zhu talk to him like that? "Stop talking nonsense and tell me where this chicken is from. Tell the truth, did you steal it from Xu Damao's house?"
Sha Zhu panicked, his reckless attitude immediately flaring up. How could everyone be so convinced that he was the thief? He hadn't stolen anything from the yard in a long time: "I did steal it, so what?"
After saying that, Sha Zhu crossed his legs and sat down at the table, looking like he didn't care what anyone did.
Second Uncle Liu Haizhong snorted coldly: "Fine, since you admit to stealing, good. Da Mao, go and inform the two old men and the neighbors that there will be a meeting for the whole courtyard in a while!"
Seeing Sha Zhu like this, Qin Huairu immediately understood. Sha Zhu's reckless spirit had returned. Suddenly, she remembered what Sha Zhu had said to her by the pool earlier.
It was immediately clear when Banggeng and the two kids ate beggar's chicken that afternoon that Banggeng had stolen the chicken. This was something that couldn't be discussed at the meeting.
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu immediately stopped her second uncle, Liu Haizhong, and said, "Second uncle, is it really necessary to hold a hospital-wide meeting over such a small matter?"
Uncle Liu Haizhong also said angrily, "What do you mean 'is it really necessary'? This is a matter of morality! Our courtyard has been around for over ten years, and not a single needle or thread has ever been lost. Losing a chicken is a huge deal!"
