Chapter 7 Talking for two cents
He Yuzhu ignored Qin Huairu's request and began to analyze the case without any rush.
"We have to go to work today, so the men in the courtyard can basically be excluded."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"The female comrades in the courtyard also chat together in small groups. Moreover, if such a big person goes to steal chickens in front of Xu Damao's house, it will be easily discovered by others, so it can be ruled out."

"That's right, I've been in the open space in the courtyard all day, and I didn't see any adults coming to Xu Damao's house."
"Yes, yes, I am chatting with Aunt Zhang next door."
……
The women in the courtyard also unanimously agreed with He Yuzhu's words.
"Then it's easy now. It's probably the child who is most likely to be ignored by everyone who stole Xu Damao's old hen.
As for the motive for committing the crime, it is nothing more than a child's greed.
Whose child ate chicken today? I don’t need to say more about such an obvious question, right?" He Yuzhu tilted his head, spread his hands, and ended his explanation of the case.
Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Bangge.
Today, Bangge was caught by the security department while stealing soy sauce from the government to eat chicken. It has become a gossip in the factory and everyone knows it.
In this courtyard, most people work at the Red Star Rolling Mill.
The gossip has spread to the courtyard. At first, no one connected this gossip with the incident of Xu Damao losing the chicken. But now He Yuzhu analyzes it like this and thinks, okay, the case has been solved.
"Banggen, it turns out it's you, you brat. Hurry up and pay for my old hen, or I'll send you to the police station." Xu Damao yelled at Banggen angrily.
Xu Damao also blamed Banggeng for the loss of one yuan to He Yuzhu at noon. After all, it was him who caused it.
Thinking like this makes me even more angry.
"Bah, Xu Damao, please don't slander my grandson. You are just talking nonsense. What evidence do you have to prove that it was my cockroach who stole your chicken?
I also said that Bangge didn’t steal your chicken.
Banggeng is so good, and you slander him, you have to compensate him."
Jia and Zhang started to act recklessly again and refused to admit their mistakes.
"Jia Zhang, please stop covering up for me. If Xu Damao calls the police comrades, you will slap her in the face." He Yuzhu didn't like Jia Zhang and directly broke the bank.
"You damn fool, it's you who slandered my grandson."
"Haha!" He Yuzhu ignored Jia Zhang's insults and just replied with two words to her.
At this time, Xu Damao had already arrived in front of Banggan.
I saw him yelling fiercely at Banggeng: "Banggeng, did you steal my chicken?"
An eleven or twelve-year-old child, who had never experienced this scene, was immediately frightened and said, "I didn't, I picked it up at your door. I didn't steal it."
Okay, this is not self-inflicted.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, did you hear that? Hurry up and pay me. Your family has to pay me fifteen yuan."
"Fifteen yuan? You might as well go and rob. You don't have any money." Jia Zhang belongs to the Pixiu family. He can only get in and out, so he is not willing to pay for it, so he refused without even thinking.
"Xu Damao, your asking price is too harsh. A chicken is not worth so much money."
The old man said something fair.
"Master, that's not how the account is calculated. A chicken costs three yuan, and if you steal it, you'll be fined three yuan, so that's nine yuan.
Also, I lost three yuan to Fuzhu due to Bangge, so this is twelve yuan."
"That's only twelve yuan." The third uncle, Yan Lao, started to speak.
When it comes to settling accounts, the third uncle, who is famous for calculating accounts, suddenly becomes energetic.
"My hen is an old hen, and it can lay eggs. An egg costs five cents, or at least one egg a day. How much does it cost a year? I asked him to pay me fifteen yuan, but I still lost money."
"Good fellow, according to your calculations, even compensating the capital to you is not enough!" The third uncle, who thought he was good at calculating, was also shocked.
Seeing the two of them settling more and more accounts, Jia Zhang couldn't sit still and activated the skill of Summoner of the Undead.
I saw Mrs. Jia Zhang making her own summoning action - sitting down on the ground, slapping her thighs with both hands and howling.
"Lao Jia, Dongxu, come up and take a look. They are all bullying our orphans and widowed mothers. Take them all down. This life is impossible."
In this era, scientific education has not yet become popular, and everyone is taboo about it.
Especially now that it is night, and there is not enough light in the open space, everyone is a little frightened.
However, this does not include He Yuzhu, a patriotic traveler who was born in the new era, grew up under the red flag, and received nine years of compulsory education since childhood.
"That's right, I haven't seen Uncle Jia and Brother Jia for a long time. Jia Zhang, please ask them to come up and chat with me for two cents."
Pfft!
I don’t know who couldn’t hold it back and laughed.
In this way, the tense and terrifying atmosphere just now was suddenly destroyed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Learning from the skills of the barbarians to defeat the barbarians, He Yuzhu became playful. He wanted to know if the undead summoner would be afraid of the undead.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, tell me, Uncle Jia has been down there for so long, will he feel lonely?
If he comes up, will you be asked to continue to accompany him?"
He Yuzhu's words frightened Mrs. Jia Zhang so much that her face turned pale.
"Zhuzi, stop making trouble." The first man shouted to He Yuzhu. It was really not suitable to say this at night.
"Now let's talk about compensation. Qin Huairu, what do you say?"
Qin Huairu saw that her mother-in-law was so frightened that she couldn't recover for a while, so she had no choice but to end it herself.
After blinking a few times, Qin Huairu's tears started to flow.
I saw her crying miserably: "Everyone, the compensation is really too much, and our family really has no money.
I am the only woman in our family who works to support the family, and Bangge is only half a year old and eats a lot.
It's all because I'm incompetent and can't feed my family, so I let Bangge take my two younger sisters to find food.
Please take pity on our family."
The look of Qin Huairu crying with pear blossoms in the rain has indeed aroused the sympathy of many people.
Moreover, in a few words, she twisted the behavior of a thief into the image of a responsible brother who takes care of his sister.
Here, He Yuzhu has to praise him, he is indeed a superb tea artist.
"Even if your family is poor, you can't afford to pay compensation if you steal something, right?"
The real villain Xu Damao really did not disappoint He Yuzhu, he doesn’t care whether you are pitiful or not.
Lou Xiao'e pulled Xu Damao's clothes and whispered: "Otherwise, forget it."
Her father is a shareholder of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Her family is wealthy and they don’t care about such a small amount of money.
In fact, Xu Damao didn't care too much about the three melons and two dates. Not to mention the Lou family's money, as a projectionist, he received many gifts when he went to the countryside to show movies.
In this compound, apart from the grandpa’s family, his family is the richest.
But he is a villain, and he likes to do things even if it harms others and does not benefit himself.
Moreover, he also wanted to use this matter to manipulate Qin Huairu so that he could take advantage of this pretty widow.
"We can't forget it. We must compensate for the stolen things, otherwise I will report the case to the police comrades."
The first uncle couldn't stand it anymore, "Xu Damao, we can just handle the matters in the compound ourselves. If word spreads, it will also bring shame to the people in our compound.
In my opinion, the Jia family can just pay you five yuan."
"Yes, Xu Damao, there is no need to trouble the police comrades." Everyone agreed.
"We can't lose the advanced collective title of our compound, Xu Damao." The second uncle also spoke up.
Xu Damao was suppressed by everyone under the leadership of the First Master and had no choice but to surrender.
"Okay, five yuan, just five yuan."
Chapter completed!
