Yi Zhonghai's Siheyuan

Xu Damao in the TV series might not go to the street office. Now Xu Damao has to raise five children alone, which is very stressful. Although he has help from his mother-in-law and her family, he still needs supplies.

On this side, Xu Damao hurried to the street office, and on the other side, the three children of the Jia family returned to the courtyard.

Qin Huairu saw Banggeng and Xiaodang coming back and asked, "Banggeng, where did you take your sisters?"

Bang Geng felt guilty and could only pretend to be calm and said, "Mom, I took my sister out to play."

Qin Huairu didn't think much about it. She thought Banggeng and the others were out playing, so she immediately washed her clothes and took the three children back to eat.

At the dinner table, Qin Huairu saw that Banggeng and the other two were not eating today, so she asked, "Banggeng, Xiaodang, Huaihua, why aren't you three hungry today? Why aren't you eating dinner?"

Bang Geng said, "Mom, I'm not hungry yet." Huaihua, who was next to Bang Geng, couldn't help but said, "Mom, my brother made beggar's chicken today. It was delicious."

Qin Huairu was shocked and said, "Huaihua, where did the chicken come from?"

Huaihua looked at Banggeng with hatred in his eyes and didn't dare to continue speaking.

Qin Huairu could only ask Bang Geng, "Bang Geng, where did you get the chicken? Did it go to the next yard again?"

Jia Zhang, who was standing next to her, smacked her chopsticks and said, "Qin Huairu, the chicken has already been eaten by Banggeng, how can we find it?"

Seeing Jia Zhang speak, Qin Huairu could only glare at Bang Geng fiercely, while praying in her heart that she would not be discovered.

Qin Huairu told Banggeng that he should refuse to admit it if someone came looking for Ji, and Banggeng nodded.

Xu Damao rushed to the street office, and Director Wang had not yet left work.

Director Wang looked at Xu Damao and asked, "Xu Damao, what's the matter?"

Xu Damao got straight to the point and said, "Director Wang, my chickens were stolen and we haven't found them yet."

When Wang Aihua heard about this matter, she asked for some details and followed Xu Damao to Compound No. 95.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Yan Bugui sorting out his own onions and garlic. When Yan Bugui saw Director Wang coming, he quickly said, "Director Wang, why are you here?"

Wang Aihua glanced at Yan Bugui and said, "Today, Comrade Xu Damao came to me to report that his old hen was missing. I came here specially to take a look. If we can find the thief through a meeting of the whole hospital, that would be the best. If not, we will call the police."

Yan Bugui was startled, adjusted his glasses, and arranged for his second son to gather people to prepare for a meeting of the entire hospital.

At the Yi family, Yi Zhonghai had just finished his meal and was playing games with his youngest daughter and son when a knock on the door interrupted the three of them. Yi Xuanzong went to open the door, and as soon as he opened it, he heard Yan Jiefang say that he was going to the Central Court to hold a court-wide meeting.

Yi Zhonghai nodded, and Yan Jiefang went to the next house to notify them. In less than twenty minutes, everyone arrived at the Intermediate Court.

Director Wang sat in the middle of the yard and said, "A big thing happened in your compound today. Comrade Xu Damao's chicken was lost! Which neighbor stole Xu Damao's chicken? Come forward!"

The people below started to whisper to each other, but everyone's eyes drifted towards the Jia family intentionally or unintentionally. Jia Zhang got anxious when she saw it and stood up and said, "God damn it, why are you looking at our family? Do you think it's easy to bully us two widows?"

Wang Aihua also noticed something and said, "Ms. Jia Zhang, stop scolding me! I'm just asking questions now!"

Jia Zhang sat down obediently. Wang Aihua waited for a few minutes and saw that no one admitted it, so she asked, "Xu Damao, when was the chicken lost?"

Xu Damao: "I found him yesterday and this morning. My wife went to her parents' home at noon and disappeared in the afternoon."

Wang Aihua nodded and said, "There is no one working in the yard. Did you see anyone suspicious coming in?"

Everyone shook their heads. Wang Aihua said, "It seems that the crime was committed inside the compound. I'll say it again, if the chicken thief doesn't admit it himself, I will call the police. It won't be so easy to solve it then!"

Out of respect for the Public Security Bureau, no one spoke, except Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu, who were panicking. Qin Huairu tried desperately to signal Xu Damao with her eyes that she wanted to talk to him in private, but unfortunately Xu Damao didn't even look at Qin Huairu.

Sha Zhu sat nearby and glanced at the Jia family thoughtfully, "Brother Zhu, why are you looking at the Jia family for no reason? Have you rekindled your old love with the widow?" Yang Yuhuan, who was standing next to him, said with her eyes wide open, pinching Sha Zhu's thigh with her little hand.

Shazhu cried out in pain, took his wife's hand away and said, "Wife, I'm off work. That bastard Banggeng and his two sisters were eating beggar's chicken in the cement tank over at the steel mill. Could this guy's chicken be Xu Damao's?"

Yang Yuhuan nodded and said, "It must be Xu Damao's. Brother Zhuzi, why didn't you tell Xu Damao that you came back? Did you rekindle your old love with the widow? Do you want to protect her again?"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he knew it would be better not to say anything, but now to get rid of Yang Yuhuan's pinch, he still said, "Huanhuan, it's not that I don't want to tell Xu Damao, it's just that it's too late!"

Seeing that no one stood up, Wang Aimin asked Xu Damao to go to the police station and call the police.

Xu Damao nodded and went out. Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu were frightened, but they also thought that even if the police came, they would not be able to do anything about Bang Geng since they said no one saw him.

After waiting for about 15 minutes, Xu Damao came to the courtyard with two police officers. The two police officers quickly asked everyone to line up in two rows, with adults and children in each row.

At this time, a neighbor asked, "Comrade Public Security, the three children of the Jia family have not come out yet!"

The older police officer looked at him and asked, "Who is the parent of the Jia family's child?"

Jia Zhang stood up and said, "My children are asleep and have to go to school tomorrow."

The neighbor next door couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your kid is the only one who still studies?"

"Yeah, study! Learn nothing!"

"Everyone knows that your terrier likes to skip school!"

As people around were talking, the old policeman had already ordered Qin Huairu to open the door. Qin Huairu had no choice but to say that she would go in and call the person out.

After Qin Huairu entered, she repeatedly told Banggeng and Xiaodang not to talk nonsense, but she left out Huaihua, as she thought Huaihua was still young and ignorant.

The three of them stood in a row with the other children, and two police officers began to question them one by one, the older ones asked the children and the younger ones asked the adults.

When asking about Bang Geng, the older police officer specifically asked him whether he went to school today.

Banggeng hesitated and didn't know what to say, because when he was about to say that he went to school, the older police officer said he would go to the school to investigate.

Jia Zhang, who was standing next to him, rushed over and said, "Comrade police officer, our son Bang Geng had a headache this afternoon and is resting at home."

Seeing this scene, everyone understood that the chicken was most likely stolen by Bang Geng, but they had no evidence.

At this time, Sha Zhu whispered something to Xu Damao, and the more Xu Damao listened, the wider his eyes opened!

After hearing this, Xu Damao said, "Comrade Public Security, someone saw my chicken in the cement tank next to the steel mill! And I reported Banggeng for stealing public soy sauce."

The public security department quickly arranged for a colleague to go to the vicinity of the cement pipes at the steel rolling mill to take a look, and by the way, notified the security department of the steel rolling mill to investigate the incident of Banggeng stealing soy sauce!

Jia Zhang, who was standing nearby, wanted to rush over and scratch Xu Damao, but was restrained by the young police officer with handcuffs. Just as Jia Zhang was about to summon the spirit, she saw Director Wang's eyes and shut up obediently...
