Wang Gang and He Yuzhu finished a bottle of Sanbai and three dishes. He Yuzhu was already a little drunk and fell asleep directly on the bed.
The winter in Sijiucheng is very cold. If He Yuzhu sleeps like this, he will have to go to the hospital if he doesn't freeze to death the next day.
Wang Gang covered him with a thick quilt, then lit the coal stove to keep the heat in the room, then wrapped himself in his coat and prepared to go back to his home.
At this time, a scream suddenly sounded in the courtyard.
The screams came from the other side of He Yuzhu's house and seemed to be the screams of a child.
Wang Gang could hear it, and naturally other people in the compound could hear it. Many people heard the cry and turned on their lights.
"What happened? Which family screamed so miserably?"
"Whose child doesn't sleep?"
"What's going on? Is there a burglar in the compound?"
Neighbors from one household came out wearing clothes and slowly gathered towards the place where the screams were heard.
Wang Gang saw that He Yuzhu was sleeping like a dead pig, so he didn't call him, he just closed the door for him and walked towards the place where the screams were heard.
When he arrived, many people were already gathered in front of a house, and Wang Gang recognized it as Xu Damao's house.
"Banggen, my eldest grandson! What's wrong with you!"
In the distance, Wang Gang heard the cry of an old lady, and couldn't help but curl his lips.
As soon as Wang got closer, he found a short, fat old lady sitting on the ground crying with a half-grown child in her arms. The child also had a mouse trap in her right hand.
"My poor grandson! Who is so wicked that he would use a mousetrap to trap you!" The fat old lady cried miserably, but Wang Gang didn't see many tears.
As more and more people gathered, the fat old lady's cry became more and more miserable.
This old lady is Qin Huairu's mother-in-law, Jia Zhang.
What he was holding in his arms was Qin Huairu's only son, Bangge.
Banggeng was in pain and sweating profusely. He leaned in Jia Zhang's arms and kept shouting that it hurt.
When Jia Zhang saw that almost everyone had arrived, she shouted to a man in front of the house:
"Xu Damao, you are a murderer with thousands of swords. Why don't you put a mousetrap there for me to catch my eldest grandson?"
The man was none other than Xu Damao, Si Zhu’s lifelong enemy in Qin Man Siheyuan.
At this time, Xu Damao was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, and his wife Lou Xiao'e was standing beside him, very angry at Jia Zhang's accusation.
"Aunt Jia, don't be so messy. Our mouse trap is placed in the chicken coop. If your grandson Bangge wasn't trying to steal eggs, why would he be caught!"
Mrs. Jia Zhang said reluctantly: "Are you talking nonsense? My grandson is very well-behaved, so he can't steal eggs?"
Seeing the people around him pointing fingers at him, Xu Damao couldn't bear it anymore and said to everyone:
"Everyone comes to comment. A few days ago, I went to the countryside to play a movie and brought back two chickens, a male and a female. I kept the rooster for crowing and the hen for laying eggs.
Two days ago, I discovered that the eggs in the chicken coop kept missing. I thought they were taken away by mice, so I put mouse traps in the chicken coop.
I didn’t expect it! It wasn’t the mice that stole the eggs, but a thief in our compound.”
Xu Damao told everyone what happened in an emotional voice, and Wang Gang also understood what happened.
Qin Huai, like his son, wanted to steal the eggs in Xu Damao's chicken coop, but he was caught in a mousetrap.
Mrs. Jia Zhang felt sorry for her grandson and beat him up, as if she wanted to extort some medical expenses.
Xu Damao quit his job. Why should he pay for the medical expenses after he lost the eggs? The two sides started to argue. Jia and Zhang just sat on the ground with their grandson in their arms, crying and making a fuss.
As more and more people gathered, the three stewards in the courtyard, the first uncle, the second uncle and the third uncle also ran over.
The eldest man’s name is Yi Zhonghai, and he is an eighth-level fitter in the steel rolling mill.
The second uncle's name is Liu Haizhong, a seventh-level blacksmith in the steel rolling mill.
The third uncle's name is Yan Bugui, a teacher at the primary school attached to the steel rolling mill.
The three uncles are usually responsible for assisting the streets and managing the compound. When such a big thing happened, they naturally came to take a look.
"Sister-in-law, is the child seriously injured? Do you want to go to the hospital to see if the hand is broken?" As soon as the first uncle Yi Zhonghai arrived, he didn't care about anything else and only cared about Banggeng's injury.
The second uncle and the third uncle are responsible for coaxing people to go home and sleep.
It's just such a wonderful show, who would be willing to leave! What's more, Xu Damao also stopped everyone from leaving.
"Everyone, please don't leave and testify for me! It was Bangge who stole my eggs and he was caught. I didn't harm him!"
"Xu Damao, are you a man? You know how to bully us orphans and widowed mothers. How can a child who is only a few years old steal eggs?" Jia Zhang cried in tears:
"It was you who set the mouse trap randomly and hurt my eldest grandson. Let me tell you, if anything happens to my grandson, my old lady will never be done with you."
Xu Damao was very angry and said to the three uncles: "Three uncles, you are the stewards of this hospital, you are here to judge."
The three uncles looked at each other, and they all knew in their minds that they were just stealing eggs.
This child often broke into the neighbor's house when no one was around, and many people in the compound suffered harm. However, seeing that he was still a child, the Jia family's orphans and widowers were pitiful, so they just turned a blind eye and regarded it as nothing.
Good deeds.
The matter of a few eggs wasn't that serious at all, but Jia Zhang's behavior of raking them over made not only Xu Damao angry, but even the neighbors who were watching the fun felt the same hatred.
"You three gentlemen, there is a thief in the courtyard. This is not a trivial matter. We must find out!" Wang Gang said without thinking it was a big deal.
"Xiao Wang, what are you filling in here? Go home and go to bed if you have nothing to do." The third uncle was scolded by Wang Gang not long ago. He was in a bad mood when he saw him, so he naturally had no good words.
"Everyone has dispersed, everyone has dispersed. What are you doing hanging around outside in the cold weather? Go home and go to bed!" The first man, Yi Zhonghai, wanted to make the big deal a trivial one, so he opened his mouth to drive people away.
"That's not what you said." Wang Gang said unwillingly: "When I got home today, I found that the window was broken open. Although nothing was lost, this is not a trivial matter!"
With Wang Gang taking the lead, many neighbors reported that there were signs of outsiders entering their homes, and there was less food stored in their homes.
These days, it is not easy for every household, and food is even more scarce, so it is life-saving food.
When Xu Damao saw Wang Gang coming forward, he was overjoyed and said, "Yes! Yes! I lost eggs today, and I don't know what will be lost tomorrow. How can I live in this compound with peace of mind in the future?"
The onlookers were convinced, and they all nodded in agreement, letting the three uncles make the decision. No matter what, they must figure things out.
The first uncle, Yi Zhonghai, was a little angry. The matter could have been suppressed, but now it has turned into a heated situation, and he was a little unable to get off the stage.
Yi Zhonghai was even more annoyed with Wang Gang who came forward.
"Mom, why are you sitting on the floor? Is it cold?"
At this time, Qin Huairu came with his two children, and the time was just right.
As soon as Qin Huairu arrived, he wanted to pull up Jia Zhang and Banggeng first, but she was weak and Jia Zhang was fat, so she couldn't pull them up for a while.
Yi Zhonghai greeted: "Everyone, help me first and help my sister-in-law up."
"I can't get up." Mrs. Jia Zhang lay on the ground with her stick in her arms and said angrily to Xu Damao: "Today Xu Damao didn't pay for my medical expenses, so my old lady died at the door of his house."
Wang Gang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Jia Zhang's rogue look.
At this moment, his golden finger suddenly reacted.
[If the matter is unclear and the reason is unclear, please help Xu Damao seek justice, let the scoundrel be punished, and be rewarded with 1 strength attribute point.]
