I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

The young couple who lost the chicken blocked both ends of the cement pipe, preparing to catch the turtle in the jar.

"You little chicken thief, let's see where you can run." The young man shouted at the cement pipe.

Bang Geng shuddered! He turned his head and saw the man staring at him, and he was immediately scared out of his wits! The chicken skeleton in his hand fell to the ground.

He turned around and wanted to run out from the other end of the concrete pipe, but a figure appeared at the other end of the concrete pipe, blocking his way.

The man bent down and crawled into the cement pipe, and grabbed Banggeng's collar. Xiaodang was so scared that he burst into tears!

"Let me go! Who stole your chicken? Let your master go!"

Bang Geng was struggling like crazy! But how could he compare to the strength of an adult man? He opened his mouth and wanted to bite the big hand that grabbed him, but the man slapped him hard, and he finally calmed down.

"Take all this evidence back and we will go find the parents of these two children."

The man gave an order, and his wife immediately found something to pack up the leftover chicken frames, chicken feathers and other evidence.

But Bang Geng refused to cooperate. No matter what the young couple asked, he just shook his head and didn't answer. This annoyed the man, and he picked up Bang Geng and wanted to send him to the nearby police station.

This action immediately frightened Bang Geng so much that he begged for mercy and promised to take the two back to find his parents. The two men took Bang Geng to Nanluoguxiang, and Xiaodang followed them crying.

When passing by Fuxiang Hut, the man asked his wife to go in and call all the family members out to discuss how to deal with the matter of the child stealing the chicken after meeting the child's parents.

"It was this kid who stole the chicken! How should we solve this problem? Let the adults in his family pay for it!"

The aunt came out and recognized Banggeng at a glance. She had raised this chicken since it was a child, and she couldn't bear to eat it herself, so she couldn't give it to others for no reason.

After discussing, the family took the Banggeng siblings to the courtyard of No. 95. Along the way, neighbors came to ask what happened. When the aunt told them the story, the news that the Banggeng siblings stole chickens from other people's houses spread throughout the nearby alleys.

"Where did Bang Geng and Xiao Dang go? They didn't even come back for lunch?" Qin Huairu asked her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, worriedly.

Bang Geng is very positive about eating. He is the only one waiting for food, and there has never been a meal waiting for him to come back. But today is an exception!

It was already one in the afternoon, and the Banggeng siblings hadn't come back yet. Qin Huairu looked at the cold food on the table and was about to go out and look for it nearby.

Before she stepped out of the house, she heard a commotion outside the yard. Qin Huairu pushed the door open and saw a large group of people coming in from the hallway. The people in the lead were holding her two children, and Xiao Dang's face was already red from crying.

"What do you want to do? Zhuzi, come out and help! Master! Master Li! Master Wang!"

Qin Huairu was horrified! She quickly shouted for the men in the courtyard to come over and help. Today was a holiday, and the heads of the middle courtyard were all in the house.

Hearing his sister Qin's terrified scream, Sha Zhu jumped up from the bed and ran out in his slippers. Which little bastard had the guts to bully his sister Qin?

"What? What do you want to do? Want to cause trouble here? Don't you see where this place is?"

When Sha Zhu saw a few strangers coming to the yard to pick a fight, he yelled, pulled up his heels, tightened his belt, and wanted to come over to find someone to practice with.

"Pillar, stop it!"

An old man came out of the east wing and saw that one of the people was someone he knew, Old Man Ge from Fuxiang Hutong. They often played chess together. He hurriedly called out to Sha Zhu!

"Brother Yi, you are the manager of Compound No. 95. So today I am going to ask you to judge the case!"

When the old man of that family saw Yi Zhonghai coming out, he recounted how his chickens were stolen by Banggeng and his sister, and also presented chicken frames, chicken feathers and other evidence.

"You are bullying my Jia family because we have no men! Who can prove that my grandson ate your chicken? You didn't catch him in the act! You are just blaming my grandson."

Jia Zhang jumped out from the west wing, grabbed the stick behind her, and then put her hands on her hips as if she was ready to fight.

"Master Yi, what do you say? Can you handle it? If not, I will call the police." Uncle Ge was so angry that his beard stood up, and he asked Yi Zhonghai.

When Jia Zhang heard that they were going to call the government officials over, she sat down on the ground and started crying and shouting.

"You all come here to bully us orphans and widows! It's really unfair! Look at my two poor children! What have they done to them?"

“Wuwuwu! I won’t live anymore!…!”

The entire central courtyard was filled with neighbors who came to watch the excitement. Yi Zhonghai was helpless! If the situation continued to develop like this, he would not be able to make a small matter disappear.

"Uncle Ge, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

Yi Zhonghai pulled Uncle Ge into his east wing.

"We are all neighbors, there is no need to alarm government officials. The Jia family has two widows, and no one in the family can make decisions. Just be patient! Just let us know if you have any requests." Yi Zhonghai advised.

"We're not here to do anything! We just want to compensate my family for the money spent on the chicken and let the adults in his family educate the child." Uncle Ge waved his hand and explained.

"Then how much money do you plan to ask the Jia family to pay?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

"You should ask my wife about this."

After the two men finished their discussion and came out of the east wing, they asked how much compensation they wanted. The young woman quickly offered five yuan.

"What? Five dollars! You are blackmailing me! How can a chicken be worth five dollars? My family won't pay for it!" Jia Zhang was sitting on the ground and when she heard that she had to pay five dollars, she immediately rolled over and started throwing a tantrum.

"Five yuan is too little! How much of my family's time has been wasted because of this matter? We haven't even had lunch yet! If you don't give us money, go find the police and send this guy to jail." The young woman refused to give in.

When Banggeng heard that they were going to arrest him and call the police, his face immediately turned pale. He also lay on the ground and began to wail loudly, imitating his grandmother Jia Zhang. Xiaodang also started to wail immediately, and for a moment the middle courtyard was very lively.

In the west wing of the backyard, Jingyi and Xiao Huaihua were taking a nap. Hearing the noise in the middle yard, she got up quietly without disturbing Xiao Huaihua, and ran to the corridor of the main house in the middle yard to watch the fun.

I heard the neighbors talking about it and realized that it was the Banggeng brother and sister who stole the chicken and were caught by the owner. Now they came to the courtyard to ask for an explanation.

I didn't expect that the Xu family had no chickens to steal, so they went to other alleys to steal other people's chickens. This name of chicken thief can't be avoided no matter where in the world.

"Xu Yueling should pay for this! Who told her to be jealous of my family's Bang Geng when she was cooking chicken today? Uncle, you have to make the decision for our family."

Jia Zhang turned around and saw Xu Yueling watching the fun. She got excited and thought of passing the blame on to others. She immediately started pointing at Xu Yueling and yelling.

"I think we should call the police! I'll also sue her for extortion." Jingyi said expressionlessly.

"No, Secretary Xu. Aunt Jia has gone crazy! We can let the person in charge of our compound handle this matter. There is no need to trouble government officials during the National Day holiday." Yi Zhonghai replied with a smile.

Most of the young workers in the workshop called Xu Yueling "Secretary Xu". The older ones were confused and followed suit.

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu with tears in her eyes, her eyes revealing hope and enthusiasm. Seeing his sister Qin so isolated, helpless and pitiful, Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

"I'll help Sister Qin pay the five dollars! It's not easy for this orphan and widowed family."

Sha Zhu counted out five yuan from his pocket and handed the money to an old man named Yi Zhonghai.

"Zhu is still righteous! Our compound is a civilized and advanced compound. I hope the younger generation in the compound will learn more from Comrade He Yuzhu."

Yi Zhonghai got the money and took advantage of the crowd in the courtyard to promote Sha Zhu. But everyone in the courtyard pouted and looked down on him.

Who doesn't know about the dirty things between you two? Why do you want to learn from him? How to cheat?

The family that lost the chicken got the money, and Uncle Ge bowed to Yi Zhonghai and left with his family. Then the neighbors saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, so they all turned back and went home.

Qin Huairu came over to thank Sha Zhu as usual. "Zhuzi, I really want to thank you! Otherwise, I really don't know what to do today!"

"It's okay! An old man will introduce me to a girl in a few days. Come over and help me clean up the house." Sha Zhu said proudly.

Qin Huairu gnashed her teeth secretly! Isn't this meddling in other people's business? Sha Zhu already has her in name, and you still want to mess with her?
