Chapter 236 Eat melon and watch a show
After dinner, Zhao Dongchuan sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice "Introduction to Qi Refining".
As time passed, a stream of heat began to slowly emerge in the body, and this stream of heat slowly began to flow throughout the body...transforming this weak body.
……
"The meeting is about to begin..."
"The whole institute meeting... starts at 7 o'clock..."
Following a burst of shouting, every household in the courtyard poked their heads out to find out what had happened...
"What's going on...another meeting?"
"I heard that the chickens from Xu Damao's backyard were missing...it seems like the thief who stole the chickens has been found..."
"Hush... Don't say I said that. I heard that it was stolen by Sha Zhu..."
"How is that possible? How could a cook like him be short of food? I think it's more like a joke..."
As people continued to gather, many began to chatter about the content of tonight's meeting.
Zhao Dongchuan didn't want to go and see it at first, but he had nothing to do at night, so he thought of taking advantage of this opportunity to get to know the beasts in the courtyard!
"uh-huh!!!"
A tall, fat, middle-aged man in the yard coughed, signaling everyone to be quiet, and he was going to start speaking.
"We're holding a meeting of the entire institute today... for one thing... to catch a thief!"
"Xu Damao's family reported to me that one of their chickens was stolen. This is no small matter. It is related to the evaluation of our street's model courtyard for morality..."
"If we don't get to the bottom of this, everyone in our hospital will be criticized when they go out..."
"Second uncle, you have to seek justice for me. This idiot Zhu not only stole the chicken, but also beat people..."
Xu Damao really felt wronged this time. He originally wanted to fatten the chicken for himself to eat, but in the end it benefited his arch-enemy Sha Zhu. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became!
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about? Who stole your chickens?"
He Yuzhu said with a look of indignation and dissatisfaction on his face.
"I'm talking about you. My chicken is stewing in your pot. Who else could it be but you..."
Xu Damao also stood up excitedly.
"You haven't fought enough... just be quiet!"
An elderly man with a serious face at the table said.
"Everyone, please give us some advice..."
Xu Damao stood up and spoke to everyone, playing the emotional card.
When everyone in the courtyard heard about this, they immediately started talking about it, and there was a loud buzz for a while!
Zhao Dongchuan was hiding in a corner at this time. He picked up a bamboo chair, sat down silently, took out a handful of melon seeds he bought from "Ordinary World" from his arms and started to eat them.
He wants to be a competent spectator!
"Silly Zhu, tell me the truth, did you steal the chicken from Xu Damao's house..."
The old man, seeing that everyone started to talk about He Yuzhu often bringing lunch back from the factory, hurriedly stopped everyone from talking... He didn't want to go any further... He wanted to help He Yuzhu.
Seeing that the old man was asking seriously, Sha Zhu hesitated to speak, and his eyes were a little evasive.
Of course he knew who stole the chicken, but... that was the boy from Qin Huairu's family... he had to protect him a little...
"I stole it, okay?"
"What do you mean by count? If it is, it is. If it is not, it is not... don't add any modifiers..."
The third uncle Yan Fugui asked from the side.
"Yes...I stole it..."
When everyone saw that He Yuzhu actually admitted it, they were all shocked.
To be honest, no one really believes it, and there is no need for him to do so!
"Why did you steal his chicken? Was it because he had a conflict with you?"
The old man was obviously trying to backtrack. He was still counting on this idiot Zhu to support him in his old age, so naturally he had to be more on his side.
"That's right. Xu Damao told our canteen director a few days ago that I had an improper relationship with Qin Huairu. Am I that kind of person..."
"Well, I will naturally wait for an opportunity to retaliate..."
Qin Huairu, who was originally afraid that He Yuzhu would expose his family's secrets, suddenly felt relieved and quickly joined in denouncing Xu Damao.
…………
Seeing the cooperation between the two, Zhao Dongchuan couldn't help but applaud... After this combination of slashing and hitting moves, it was Xu Damao's fault.
Someone really lost a chicken... Why does it feel like he has become the persecutor? However, Zhao Dongchuan thought of Xu Damao's character and couldn't help but understand a little.
Xu Damao is a bad person, so even though everyone knows that he has suffered a loss, they are not willing to speak up for him.
"Of course, although Xu Damao was at fault first... he still has to pay for the chicken...
Xu Damao, are you going to let him pay like this?"
Seeing that the situation had changed, the second uncle could no longer put the blame on Sha Zhu, so he began to focus on the issue of He Yuzhu's compensation.
"You have to at least compensate me ten dollars..."
Xu Damao's eyes rolled, and a plan came to his mind, ready to trick Sha Zhu.
"The old hen in your house lays golden eggs... and ten yuan... ten yuan is enough for the four of us to eat for a month..."
Qin Huairu naturally knew that Sha Zhu was taking the blame for his son, so she must be speaking up for Sha Zhu.
"Hey, my old hen really lays golden eggs. Look... at least twenty eggs a month... I plan to raise it for a few years. So if you calculate it this way... ten dollars is not much..."
"According to your calculation, this chicken will have endless offspring... No amount of money will be enough to compensate... You are really good at calculating..."
Sha Zhu glared and said sarcastically.
"Yes, I gave you a small amount because we are neighbors... You should thank me for not bearing grudges and letting it go..."
Xu Damao finally caught the chance this time and was ready to trick Sha Zhu.
"Xu Damao, don't ask for such an exorbitant price... The chicken in this market is only one dollar at most, and you're asking for ten dollars... That's too much..."
As an uncle Yi Zhonghai, he naturally couldn't let Xu Damao do whatever he wanted, so he hurriedly stopped him.
……
Finally, after some negotiations, Xu Damao took the chicken away, and then Sha Zhu compensated Xu Damao five dollars...the matter was settled!
Then the old man quickly announced the end of the meeting. After a night of chatting and chatting, everyone had a lot of after-dinner topics to talk about, and left feeling very satisfied.
Zhao Dongchuan naturally went back as well... He just wanted to be a qualified "passerby" in this world!
"I hope you don't provoke me... Otherwise, don't blame me for punishing you..."
Zhao Dongchuan chuckled, pulled up a chair and went back to the house... He was a nobody in the yard, so naturally no one cared about him.
After returning to the house, Zhao Dongchuan closed the doors and windows and began to clean up...
He took an enamel basin, filled it with water from the tap outside, and started wiping it.
"Jingle Bell!"
A bicycle bell rang, and a little girl with two pigtails came in pushing a bicycle...
Seeing him cleaning the house, I couldn't help but feel curious.
"Xiao Zhao?"
"What are you doing?"
Zhao Dongchuan looked back and found that this girl looked familiar...
After thinking about it, this is Sha Zhu's sister He Yushui... They live next door to each other, so they are naturally more familiar with each other.
It is also a rare person in the hospital who has chatted with him for a few words.
"The house is too dirty, I'm cleaning it..."
"Ah, the sun is rising from the west... You are such a lazy person..."
He Yushui covered her mouth and smiled.
