The third uncle followed Liu Xiaojun and started the "inspection" mode.
The first place they checked was Jia Dongxu's house. The third uncle wanted to look for something, but he found nothing. There was nothing in the cellar either, not even a rotten cabbage...
Even Qin Huairu was not there.
"Where is your wife?" asked the third uncle.
Jia Dongxu: "My mother and I were arrested, and Huairu had to go back to her parents' home because it was difficult for her to live alone."
Third uncle: "Okay."
After searching Jia Dongxu's house thoroughly, not even a single rabbit hair was found.
The inspection was quick and they arrived at the backyard in a blink of an eye. In order to highlight his fairness, the second uncle allowed the house to be searched without complaint.
The third uncle took advantage of the second uncle's inattention and stole a bottle of Niulanshan from the second uncle. He was so happy.
Soon we arrived at the home of Grandma Liu, a person who did not appear in the courtyard. As soon as we opened the door of Grandma Liu's house, we saw a pile of matchboxes in the lower left corner of the house.
Grandma Liu is the same age as the deaf old lady. She has no children and has a picked-up child about ten years old at home. She is also a low-income household in the courtyard, and most of them survive on the five yuan low-income subsidy every month.
Seeing that Grandma Liu had raised a child with a conscience and it was not easy for her, the street office arranged some work for her - pasting matchboxes.
It costs 1 cent to make 100 matchboxes. An experienced person can make 2,000 to 3,000 matchboxes a day. Grandma Liu and her child can make about 4,000 matchboxes a day, which is 50 cents a day. If they work hard, they can earn 15 yuan a month, which is enough with the 5 yuan minimum living allowance.
Originally, this job was done in rotation. This month, it was this low-income household that did it, and next month, another low-income household would do this job.
After all, if we paste matchboxes every month, it will definitely lead to overproduction.
It's not just about pasting matchboxes. During this inspection, Liu Xiaojun discovered that each low-income household in the courtyard was making something different.
There are people who make matchboxes, and there are also people like Jia Zhang who make shoe soles, string colorful lights, and sew gloves. They are all very cheap, and even capitalists would cry when they see them!
After a round of inspection, Liu Xiaojun had a general idea of the situation of everyone in the compound.
They soon arrived at Xu Damao's house, and Xu Damao looked gloomy.
Liu Xiaojun glanced at him with a half-smile and pushed open the door.
Xu's mother was kept in the dark. Her son Xu Damao said that the rabbits in the house were bought, not stolen from Liu Xiaojun's house, so she opened the door without any guilt, patting her chest.
"Xiaojun, Third Uncle, feel free to come in and search our house!"
The third uncle entered the Xu family with shining eyes. Xu Damao was a film projectionist. He would go to the countryside to show movies when he had nothing to do. Every time he came back from the countryside, he would get local specialties, so there was no shortage of food at home.
The third uncle, who is the door god of Qianmen, knows all these things.
Therefore, Xu Damao's family must have a lot of food, and he would make money no matter what he found.
As a result, as soon as he entered, he saw the meat on Xu Damao's dining table, and the third uncle picked up some of it with chopsticks.
Xu Damao: "Don't look at it, it's pork!"
Uncle San: "What pork? I may be old, but I'm not blind. This is obviously not pork."
"Xiaojun, your family eats a lot of meat, come and see! What kind of meat is in Xu Damao's bowl?!"
Eat a lot of meat? Why doesn't it sound like a good word? But there was nothing he could do. Liu Xiaojun took a look and knew it was rabbit meat.
Liu Xiaojun: "It looks like rabbit meat to me."
Xu Damao: "Liu Xiaojun, please stop slandering me!"
Xu's mother panicked. This was indeed rabbit meat. Didn't her son tell her it was rabbit meat? Why was he denying it now?
Lou Xiao'e also had a bad feeling.
"Xu Damao, didn't you tell me this was rabbit meat?"
Xu Damao: I had missed this point in all my calculations. It was my first time stealing, and I wasn't mentally prepared. Now I was exposed!
You're such a jerk! Explain now!
Xu Damao thought for a long time and gave everyone a cheap smile.
"Yes, that's right, this is rabbit meat. I just wanted to play a joke on you all."
The second uncle kicked Xu Damao on the butt and said angrily:
"Who are you kidding? What kind of meat is this?"
Xu Damao's voice was as buzzing as a mosquito:
"rabbit......"
"What kind of meat?" The second uncle didn't hear clearly and continued to ask.
"Rabbit meat!" Xu Damao suddenly raised his voice, almost blowing the roof off.
When Jia Dongxu heard it was rabbit meat, he stretched out his hand and said tremblingly:
"Xu Damao, you little bastard, tell me quickly if this rabbit meat was stolen from Liu Xiaojun's house. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be suspected as soon as I came back!"
Jia Dongxu was halfway through his speech when he bit his lip in grievance, and it looked like he was about to cry again.
Xu Damao: "Don't think everyone is like you. What do you mean I stole it? Can't I just buy this rabbit?"
Jia Dongxu was speechless after being confronted by him. His expression was changing from gloomy to cheerful, and he looked like he was sick.
Liu Xiaojun looked at it and took a few steps back.
Could it be that this problem is caused by eating rabbit meat contaminated with rat poison last time?
The third uncle was still staring at the rabbit meat. Ever since he found out that the rabbit meat was not pork, it seemed like he had unlocked a talent for solving cases.
Uncle Three: "Xu Damao, there's rabbit fur on your clothes! It looks white, the same kind as the one Xiaojun lost!"
Xu Damao wasn't panicking anymore. After all, he had already talked it over. What was wrong with him buying the rabbit?!
Besides, everyone in the compound knew that this was the first time he had brought Lou Xiao'e home for dinner, so killing a rabbit as a meat dish seemed reasonable, right?!
"Well, is there a problem? This was given to me when I went to the countryside to show a movie!"
