At three o'clock in the afternoon, a general meeting of the courtyard was held to try the rabbit stealing case!
Just like in the TV series, the second and third uncles sat at the top of the crowd, but this time, the first uncle's seat was vacant.
The whole courtyard was there, and the crowd was extremely noisy. With more than a hundred people, the entire courtyard was filled in an instant.
Some families don’t have enough benches, so they have to borrow long benches from other people’s homes. It’s hard to fit several people on one bench.
Yi Zhonghai didn't want to come at first, but was forced to come by Liu Haizhong. On the surface, it was for the sake of the collective and he couldn't be absent, but in fact, they just wanted to make fun of him.
In the last case of the Jia family stealing rabbits, Yi Zhonghai stepped down from the position of the eldest uncle, and today Liu Haizhong wanted to make the former eldest uncle unable to raise his head in front of everyone.
Yi Zhonghai sat in the crowd, head down, not knowing what he was thinking.
Auntie looked at Jia Dongxu with a bit of worry. After all, the Yi family had taken care of this child for so many years, and Auntie still had some feelings for him.
The most conspicuous person in the crowd was Jia Dongxu, who was surrounded by everyone in the compound at the "center of the circle".
Jia Dongxu was already scared to death, and now surrounded by so many people, he almost fell to his knees.
He whispered: "It's really not me..."
The crowd was still arguing, and everyone was wondering whether Jia Dongxu was the one who stole the rabbit.
In fact, some people have already started to bet on the outcome.
Several progressive young people from Siheyuan were then included in the list.
Jia Dongxu's odds are currently 1.5 to 1.
Shazhu's odds: 2 to 1.
Xu Damao's odds are 3 to 1.
What’s outrageous is that Liu Xiaojun is also there.
Liu Xiaojun's odds: ten to one.
Are you suspecting that he is stealing from the company?
Liu Xiaojun: How about I steal one myself now?
Xu's mother, Xu Damao's mother, generously took out ten pounds of melon seeds as a bet that the rabbit was stolen by Jia Dongxu, and she didn't feel sorry at all.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the government has vigorously cracked down on bad phenomena such as gambling, but every policy has its own countermeasures.
If ordinary people want to have fun, why don’t they just gamble on melon seeds instead of money?
"Mom, why don't we not buy it?"
Xu Damao looked at his mother's resolute expression and whispered.
He really doesn't feel bad at all, but this money is his salary!
Xu's mother: "No, I want to take advantage of this wave to make some money!"
When the second uncle Liu Haizhong saw that the crowd was gradually going astray, he immediately coughed twice.
"Ahem, quiet down!"
Everyone in the crowd glanced at him, at least giving this old man some face.
The second uncle slammed the table and said, "Jia Dongxu, tell me how you stole the rabbit this time? If you admit it now, we will all intercede for you. You only need to pay compensation, and there is no need to report it to the police."
"However, if you continue to resist, I will have Liu Xiaojun report you to the Public Security Bureau!"
Swish——!
After the second uncle finished speaking, dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Jia Dongxu, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
Liu Xiaojun also looked at him with a smile.
Jia Dongxu was almost broken by being stared at by so many people. His head was blank and he didn't know how to explain it, but at least he was able to think of a quick solution at the last moment.
"The Public Security Bureau relies heavily on evidence when handling cases. You claim I stole Liu Xiaojun's rabbit. Where's the evidence?"
"Bang!" Second Master was instantly furious. "Jia Dongxu, don't be so arrogant to me. What evidence do you need? Who else in this courtyard would steal rabbits besides you?"
The second uncle was really angry. In the past, it was Old Yi who convened the whole hospital meeting. This was the first time he convened the whole hospital meeting as the second uncle.
As a result, he met Jia Dongxu, a disrespectful and "backward" young man in the hospital.
Seeing Jia Dongxu almost crying on the stage, Xu Damao was also gloating.
"Dongxu, since we've been friends since we were little, I advise you to admit it, right?!"
"Who are you calling brother? You're not even as old as me!"
Jia Dongxu glared at Xu Damao. Don’t think he didn’t know that Xu Damao had been adding fuel to the fire from the beginning until now.
Xu Damao was no longer anxious when he saw the reactions of everyone in the hospital. Everyone thought it was Jia Dongxu who did it, so why was he still panicking?
So, he just bet five bags of melon seeds that the rabbit was stolen by Jia Dongxu.
Xu's mother: "Da Mao, don't you hand over your money every month? Where do you get the money to buy sunflower seeds?"
Xu Damao: ???
It almost made his mother suspect that he was saving some private money.
This won’t do, I have to force an explanation!
"Well, I, I don't have any money, isn't this the same as charging you..."
"Mom, don't worry about it. We're just watching the fun!" Xu Damao just made a fool of himself and let the matter go.
Xu's mother looked at her son, then at Lou Xiao'e who was standing next to her son, without saying much.
Some things are hard to say in front of Lou Xiao'e. This kid actually dared to hide some private money behind my back. He can just wait to kneel on the washboard when he gets home!
Xu Damao placed the bet, cursing in his heart, is this banker stupid? It's such an obvious gamble, it's obvious that Jia Dongxu is bound to lose, won't he lose everything?
Of course, this casino was not run by Liu Xiaojun. He taught the third uncle how to do it. The third uncle kept accounts privately, and the number of bags of melon seeds each person gambled was recorded in the third uncle's little notebook.
The third uncle has been very attentive to him recently. Besides, it would be better to let the third uncle take care of picking up Tangtang from school. The matter of betting on the melon seeds is a harmless business, so it’s okay to tell him about it.
The Third Uncle's brush was flying. Jia Dongxu looked at everyone's excited faces, wishing he could confess his guilt quickly, and he wanted to cry even more!
