Chapter 96: If You Dare to Take the Blame, I Won't Let It Rest

~7 min read 1,249 words

It's over.

If this really gets taken to the police station, it's over.

Thinking, Shazhu turned his head and glanced at Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu was also looking at him.

Their eyes met.

He clearly saw Qin Huairu's pitiful gaze.

He felt heartache.

Suddenly.

Yi Zhonghai slapped the table and said to Shazhu:

"Say what you want to say, stop looking around."

"I'll give you one last chance."

"Was the chicken from Xu Damao's house really stolen by you?"

Qin Huairu: "Yes, Shazhu, you must see clearly."

"You must never admit to stealing a chicken from the factory."

"Oh, I mean, if it wasn't you who stole it, you can't admit to it."

"But if you did steal one of Xu Damao's chickens, just compensate him with one chicken."

"That's a much lighter offense than stealing a factory chicken."

"Maybe you didn't steal it."

"Maybe the chicken ran out on its own, ran to your house, you couldn't chase it away, got angry, and threw something."

"Hey, what a coincidence."

"That throw hit it, and the chicken passed out."

"You were worried people would misunderstand, so you just slaughtered it."

"Of course, this is just my guess."

"Eldest Uncle, Second Elder, San Da Ye, continue your meeting."

Shazhu gritted his teeth, slapped his thigh, and shouted:

"Yes, it was me who stole it, do whatever you want."

Yan Bu Gui gave a cold snort and asked:

"Whose did you steal?"

"Was it Xu Damao's or the factory's?"

Shazhu got angry: "San Da Ye, stop talking nonsense."

"I wouldn't dare steal from the factory."

"The chicken at my house is Xu Damao's chicken."

"Let him go fetch it."

"That's what Qin Jie said."

"The chicken ran to my house."

"I couldn't chase it away, so in anger I threw something at it."

"It ended up killing it."

"If that's the case, we might as well slaughter it, don't waste it, right?"

"Waste is shameful."

"Xu Damao, go, go, go to my house and bring it all."

"I haven't even had a sip of soup, I'm letting you off easy."

Xu Damao heard this, and instantly anger rose from his heart, evil grew from his courage.

He pulled Lou Xiao'e up, and took the long bench in his hands.

Shazhu also saw it out of the corner of his eye.

Without a word, he stood up and also grabbed a long bench.

Yi Zhonghai shouted: "Stop!"

"What, has the world been turned upside down?"

Shazhu pursed his lips and put down the long bench.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Damao and asked:

"Xu Damao, Shazhu has already admitted to stealing your chicken, what are you going to do?"

Xu Damao gritted his teeth and said: "Send him to the police station, let the police decide."

He now wishes he could devour Shazhu alive.

Because he increasingly suspects that Lou Xiao'e's inability to bear children is his fault.

And Shazhu is exactly the culprit.

If it weren't for Shazhu constantly kicking him there since childhood, his kids could be making soy sauce by now.

Hearing Xu Damao's words, Shazhu's face changed involuntarily.

His pleading gaze turned to Qin Huairu.

He hoped Qin Huairu could come up with a perfect solution.

Qin Huairu exhaled softly and asked:

"Shazhu, have you and Xu Damao been at odds lately?"

Shazhu heard that and couldn't help but stare.

However, he soon spoke up:

"Yes, that's right, I've always disliked this kid."

"All you do is show off."

Qin Huairu: "That's also retaliation."

"Then it shouldn't be a matter of morality."

"Everybody, do you agree?"

Upon saying that.

Everyone just looked at each other, remaining silent.

This made Qin Huairu's brows furrow involuntarily.

Just then, Jia Zhangshi shouted:

"Yes, yes, yes, it's retaliation."

Xu Damao: "Ah, that's not right, just now Shazhu said he didn't know whose chicken it was."

"How did you suddenly know? Are you going to retaliate against me?"

"Qin Huairu, don't meddle."

"I'm not wasting words with Shazhu either."

"I'm going to report to the police station right now."

"Let the police station handle this case."

In the original work.

Xu Damao has always been bullied by Shazhu and has never reported to the police station.

Actually, it's not that he doesn't want to report.

But Yi Zhonghai and the Deaf Old Lady threatened him, saying that matters within the courtyard should be settled there, and one shouldn't just go reporting to the police station at the drop of a hat.

If outsiders found out about the scandal in the big courtyard, Xu Damao would never be able to live peacefully there again.

Now it's different.

He felt that Lin Shengli had been supporting him behind the scenes.

With Lin Shengli's support, he fears nothing.

Xu Damao had just stood up when suddenly the Deaf Old Lady's voice came over:

"Xu Damao, by alarming the police station, you'll ruin our courtyard's reputation."

Upon hearing that, everyone spoke up in support of the Deaf Old Lady's words.

Xu Damao snapped, "Old lady, I'm not stealing from your house, don't stand there talking without back pain."

The Deaf Old Lady flew into a rage: "Impudent, dare to speak to me like that!"

Upon hearing that, Xu Damao's heart gave a sudden thump.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.

He's been afraid of the Deaf Old Lady since childhood.

Qin Huairu: "The old lady is right."

"Matters within the courtyard should be settled within the courtyard."

"How about this, Xu Damao: let Shazhu compensate you with a chicken."

Lou Xiao'e: "Qin Huairu, how could it be that cheap?"

"Then should I go steal from your house, and if you notice, I'll compensate for whatever I steal."

"If you don't notice, then I profit."

Qin Huairu: "Lou Xiao'e, one thing at a time."

"What I'm saying now is a solution to the problem."

Lou Xiao'e: "The problem is that Shazhu, the party involved, shows no sincerity at all."

"I think we should still let the police station handle it."

"Damao, go report to the police station."

Xu Damao let out an 'ai' and walked toward the front courtyard.

The Deaf Old Lady hurriedly shouted, "Xu Damao, stop!"

Upon hearing that, Xu Damao not only didn't stop, but started running.

Qin Huairu hurriedly said to Shazhu:

"Shazhu, hurry up and stop Xu Damao."

"Talk to him nicely."

Shazhu: "Whatever."

Xu Damao was nowhere to be seen.

Even if he goes after him now, he might not catch up.

Besides.

Rather than have him say nice words to Xu Damao, it'd be better to kill him.

The Deaf Old Lady let out a soft sigh and walked up to Shazhu.

She glanced at Qin Huairu, then at Yi Zhonghai, and leaned in to whisper a few words into Shazhu's ear.

Upon hearing that, Shazhu's head swelled.

He had originally intended to take the blame for Bang Geng to the end.

But.

The Deaf Old Lady actually threatened him, saying that if he dared to take the blame for this black pot, she would no longer care about him.

The police station is not far from the Siheyuan.

Upon hearing that a thief had appeared in the Siheyuan, the leadership also took it very seriously.

Soon, two policemen were sent to follow Xu Damao over.

Yi Zhonghai, upon seeing this, couldn't help but furrow his brows tightly.

Xu Damao really did bring the police, huh.

It's over.

This year's Spiritual Civilization Award is gone.
