Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were both a little annoyed at the moment. After they quickly finished a bowl of noodles, Xu Damao said, "Ezi, you stay home for a while. I have to go find the second uncle to convene a meeting of the whole hospital. You can come out after the meeting. Remember to wear more thick clothes."

Lou Xiao'e responded softly and got up to wash the dishes. Xu Damao quickly put on a thick cotton jacket and hurried to the second uncle's house.

Liu Haizhong had just finished his meal. When he heard Xu Damao say that his two chickens were missing, he couldn't help but frown. In those days, losing two chickens was definitely a big deal, not to mention that we are in a special period now!

Liu Haizhong slammed the table hard, frightening Guangtian and Guangfu beside him, who were afraid that Liu Haizhong would hit them. The compound they were in had been rated as an advanced model compound for several consecutive years. Now that the selection was imminent, a chicken was lost at such a critical moment, and it was very likely that they would not be rated as advanced this year!

So, without saying anything, Liu Haizhong immediately ordered Guangtian Guangfu to go and inform the people in the courtyard to prepare to hold a general meeting of the whole courtyard. The last time he held a meeting, his team cooperated well and won a great victory, which severely hit the arrogance of the uncle Yi Zhonghai. However, he had to admit that he had been thanks to Xu Damao before, and this time should be no exception.

Liu Haizhong followed Xu Damao closely in front of the chicken coop with his square steps. After a careful inspection, he had already come to a conclusion in his mind - it was obvious that someone had deliberately sabotaged and stolen two chickens! So, Liu Haizhong walked slowly towards the middle courtyard with his hands behind his back and his big belly.

Xu Damao quickly passed Liu Haizhong and said, "Second uncle, I have to go and arrange some things first. Please take your time."

Xu Damao came to the middle courtyard, and while no one in the courtyard had come out yet, he raised his hand and gently knocked on He Yushui's door. After He Yushui opened the door, he quickly slipped into the room and whispered to He Yushui in a low voice.

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he quickly left the room. Then, he quickly walked to Liu Guangfu, hooked his finger at him and whispered a few words in his ear, and did not forget to take out a dollar and put it in Liu Guangfu's hand. Liu Guangfu took the money and nodded happily, then scurried out of the compound like a rabbit.

Watching Liu Guangfu's figure gradually going away until he disappeared, Xu Damao confidently took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a long puff. At this moment, he seemed to see a well-woven big net that had been laid out, waiting for those ignorant fish to fall into the trap!

Soon, everyone in the courtyard had basically arrived. The broken table that had not been used for a long time was placed in the north of the middle courtyard, and the three uncles sat down one by one. Lou Xiao'e also brought two stools from home and handed one to Xu Damao. Xu Damao pulled Lou Xiao'e as the victim to the center of the circle and sat down to wait for the meeting to begin, and also glanced at everyone in the Jia family obscurely.

The three uncles whispered a few words, and Liu Haizhong stood up first to speak. "Just after dinner today, Xu Damao came to me and said that two of his chickens were missing. I also went to check the scene. There was a big hole in the netting around the chicken coop, and the wooden sticks that Damao had just made in the morning to support the netting were also pulled out, so we can basically rule out the possibility that the chickens escaped on their own. This is what happened, and now it's up to the first uncle to speak."

When Yi Zhonghai heard that Xu Damao's chicken was missing, he immediately thought of the Jia family secretly eating meat today, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. "Second uncle has finished telling us what happened. Did anyone see any strangers coming to our compound today?"

"No, I have been at home all day."

"I saw a stranger coming to the third uncle's house. It seemed that his relatives had reconciled and became a couple."

This man caused a burst of laughter when he said this. The relatives were able to find his cousin through Xu Damao's introduction, and they hadn't even had time to thank him, so how could they steal his chickens?

Seeing that his family was involved, Yan Bugui also stood up and said, "Let me clarify something. My cousin got my information with the help of Damao, so he came to recognize me today and left shortly after lunch. Jie Cheng's partner also came to eat, but they went shopping with Lou Xiao'e in the afternoon. The two of them never went to the middle courtyard from beginning to end, let alone steal chickens in the backyard. Besides, there were people at my house all day, and I didn't see any other strangers coming to our courtyard."

Yi Zhonghai nodded, "That basically rules out the possibility of an outsider committing the crime. The chicken was stolen by someone in our compound. Our compound has always been an advanced model compound in the street. Not to mention chickens, even needles and thread have never been lost. No matter who stole the chicken from Xu Damao's house, if he quickly comes out and admits it, he can still get lenient treatment." After saying that, he looked around and took in everyone's reactions.

Everyone was talking in low voices.

"If it was really stolen by someone in our compound, then our selection as the advanced compound this year would be in jeopardy."

"That's right, we can give out a lot of things at the end of the year."

"No needle or thread has ever been lost. Didn't Banggeng often go to Shazhu's house to get things? He even stole the cabbage hearts from the cellar."

"Hush, Zhou Yu is fighting Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, why are you meddling in that business?"

"In the early years, Jia Zhang took advantage of everyone. She borrowed my needle and thread and has not returned it to this day."

Listening to these discussions, Jia Zhang seemed very calm. With Yi Zhonghai around, he would definitely help her deal with it. Just like before, she had nothing to worry about. Jia Dongxu glanced at his mother and wanted to stand up and admit it, but was stopped by Jia Zhang. Jia Dongxu sighed helplessly and had to continue sitting down. Qin Huairu sat next to Banggeng, holding Xiaodang and taking care of the two children.

At this time, Xu Damao also stood up and said, "Everyone should ask your own children. It is very likely that the child was naughty and did this. Who among us didn't steal and do bad things when we were young? We can't just punish them with one blow. We should give the children a chance. In this case, they can just compensate for my losses and give them a good education. There is no need to fine them and put them into the provident fund."

Families with children quickly pulled their children over to question them, fearing that their children were naughty and did it. But after ten minutes, no one came forward to admit it.

Yi Zhonghai frowned and gave Jia Zhang a subtle look, but Jia Zhang played dumb and pretended not to see it, and turned her head away.

Sha Zhu is a cook, and he pays attention to the color, aroma and taste of the dishes. His nose is particularly sensitive. Today, as soon as he entered the central courtyard, he knew that the Jia family ate chicken with his nose. However, the chicken was lost by Xu Damao, and the meat was eaten by the Jia family. No one in the Jia family came forward to admit it. What does it have to do with me, Sha Zhu? I am eager to watch Xu Damao's excitement. It can be regarded as a small revenge.
