Everyone turned to look and saw Link standing up at some point.
While picking his ears, he looked at Liu Haizhong and said: "What, I don't think you should leave now. What you are saying is just to say that my brother stole this chicken. There is no need to hint like this."
If you hint, just say it and it will be over, or let Xu Ma face go to the police station now and let the police arrest my brother!"
"Link, you..." Liu Haizhong blushed at Link's words. You couldn't say anything for a long time. Although he did think so in his heart, he was exposed by Link to his face. Where should he show his face?
In the end, the elder Yi Zhonghai couldn't stand it anymore and got rid of him.
"Okay, stop messing around. It's just a chicken. Why should we call the police?" After finishing speaking, Yi Zhonghai turned to He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzhu, let me ask you, did you steal this chicken?"
Everyone looked at He Yuzhu. Before Link didn't stand up to confront Liu Haizhong, everyone felt that He Yuzhu had stolen this achievement. Although He Yuzhu didn't lack the money, everyone knew that he and Xu Damao were sworn enemies.
The kind that grows from small to large.
Perhaps Xu Damao provoked him somewhere, and He Yuzhu stole his chicken and killed it to eat in a fit of anger. It was entirely possible given He Yuzhu's unstinting character.
Of course, I can only think about this in my heart. No one dares to say it. Everyone has seen Link's performance just now. No one wants to provoke this college student who has just returned to the courtyard. College students these days are all incompetent.
As assigned, with Link's qualifications as a graduate of a prestigious university, it is basically certain that he will become a leader in the future, and no one wants to offend him for this trivial matter.
But these people have forgotten that Link and He Yuzhu are brothers. Offending He Yuzhu is actually no different from offending Link.
Probably because bullying He Yuzhu has become a habit engraved in his bones, and he subconsciously forgot about his relationship with Link.
He Yuzhu rolled his eyes and said, "That's impossible! I'm not a thief. Why would I steal his chicken? It's not like I can't afford it!"
Before Yi Zhonghai could continue to ask questions, Xu Damao on the side said first: "Then where did your chicken come from?"
"Bought it!"
"Where did you buy it?" Liu Haizhong asked.
"It's a vegetable market!"
"Is it Dongdan Vegetable Market or Chaoyang Vegetable Market?" asked the third uncle Yan Bugui.
Just as He Yuzhu was about to answer, Link waved his hand to stop him.
I saw Link glance at Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, and said: "After all, you still believe that my brother stole this chicken, so why don't you put the prisoner on trial?
Then if one day I lose something and see someone using it, can I just come to the door and say that the thing is mine?"
After hearing what Link said, the neighbors in the courtyard immediately started talking in low voices. When Link didn't say it, they didn't think it. But when he said it, they really felt something was wrong. With you, Xu Damao's chicken is missing. Whose family is it?
Who steals the chicken when it's being cooked?
Fortunately, everyone's current environment is not very good, and they may not be able to eat meat for ten and a half days. If this is a festival, wouldn't they all become chicken thieves?
When Xu Damao saw the change in everyone's attitude, he immediately became anxious. As his sworn enemy from childhood to adulthood, he knew very well that although He Yuzhu was always retributive and liked to take advantage of others, he had never done anything sneaky.
.
If someone outside the courtyard stole the chicken, the discarded chicken would probably never come back. As for the chicken inside the courtyard, there were only a few people who could afford the chicken, and He Yuzhu happened to be making chicken soup. Who could he rely on for this?
Not only did he have to lose the money, but he also had to get the pot of chicken soup. This was what Xu Damao had in mind. He didn't want Link, who never came back very often, to suddenly show up. Looking at his posture, he wanted to get rid of this matter.
It’s messed up, so what’s going to happen?!
"This is different. In the evening, he admitted that he stole the chicken!"
When Link heard this, he glanced sideways at He Yuzhu, and He Yuzhu immediately explained: "What I said was angry!"
"Who knows?"
"Hey, I think your skin is itchy again!" He Yuzhu said as he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to do something.
Xu Damao was startled and quickly pulled his wife Lou Xiaoe forward to block him.
That cowardice made everyone in the courtyard laugh, but He Yuzhu only tried to scare him, but never thought of actually taking action.
"Okay, stop laughing and get back to business!" Yi Zhonghai waved his hand to stop the farce and said: "Anyway, He Yuzhu is the most suspect in this matter. Link, please stop talking. He Yuzhu, tell me, you
Where did this chicken come from?”
"I told you I bought it! I bought it from Chaoyang Market, okay?" He Yuzhu replied impatiently.
"Chaoyang Market? That's wrong. The trip from here to Chaoyang Market takes at least forty minutes. This doesn't include the time for buying and slaughtering chickens. When did you get off work?" Yan Bugui asked.
He Yuzhu opened his mouth and was about to tell the truth. Before that, he glanced at Qin Huairu subconsciously and saw a pleading expression on her face. He Yuzhu sighed in his heart and said nothing in the end.
Now the second uncle got excited and took the matter to the steel rolling mill, implying that He Yuzhu had embezzled public property.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, after the people present heard it, if someone 'accidentally' mentioned it in the factory, it would be spread to ten, ten, and hundreds, and it would reach the ears of the leaders, regardless of whether the rumor was true or not.
, I will definitely have opinions on He Yuzhu. What Liu Haizhong did was really vicious. He was just hurting others without benefiting himself, just to establish his authority in the yard and let everyone know how to respect him as the second uncle.
He Yuzhu couldn't understand what was going on here at all, so he immediately started talking back to Liu Haizhong.
And Link saw all this with his eyes. Even though he had seen some big scenes before time travel, compared to the lineup of all the villains in this courtyard, it was really not enough.
A small chicken-stealing incident revealed the true nature of the people in the courtyard. The only ones who couldn't understand anything were probably He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e.
Link couldn't help but feel a little tired to have such a cheap brother in the stall, but no matter what, he couldn't watch He Yuzhu help Qin Huairu take this crime. Whoever did it would be responsible.
Seeing that He Yuzhu was about to plead guilty to stealing chickens under Qin Huairu's aggrieved face, Link stood up again.
"We have been arguing for a long time, but with no result, I think we should go to the police. No matter what the outcome is, everyone will be convinced."
When Qin Huairu heard this, she couldn't sit still. Others didn't know it, so couldn't she?
When He Yuzhu came back in the afternoon, he had already reminded her that he saw her children eating chicken outside the steel rolling mill. In addition, Xu Damao went to He Yuzhu's place to cause trouble in the evening. Qin Huairu immediately interrogated her three children when she returned.

Bangge and Xiaodang were quite tight-lipped, but the youngest daughter Huaihua told them everything after just a few questions.
