1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

"Who are you? You don't seem to be from our compound? It doesn't seem like it's your turn to give orders here!" Yi Zhonghai said coldly.

"She is Qin Huairu's mother and Chen Xiao's mother-in-law!" Yan Bugui reminded carefully from the side.

Yi Zhonghai was shocked when he heard this. He had wanted to please Chen Xiao, but now, not only did he fail to please him, but he also offended his mother-in-law.

Zhang Cuilan is not afraid of this so-called big boss Yi Zhonghai at all.

"So what if I'm not a resident of the courtyard? I'm Qin Huairu's mother! The old hen I brought for my daughter and son-in-law was stolen from your compound. Do you think I have the right to make decisions?"

Chen Xiao stood up and came between the two of them to speak politely.

He didn't want to continue to dwell on this matter, he just wanted to beat Jia Zhang first.

"Everyone, let's stop talking about this and find the old hen first."

"If we delay any longer, there won't be even a bone left for the chicken thief to eat!"

"Chen Xiao, do you know who stole your old hen now?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

Chen Xiao nodded.

"Yes, I already know almost everything, but before I find the old hen, I still can't wrongly accuse any good person."

When he said this, Chen Xiao turned around and looked at Jia Zhang.

"You're right, aren't you? Jia Zhang?"

Jia Zhang nodded awkwardly. For some reason, she felt a little nervous when Chen Xiao looked at her like that.

"Yes, you are right. We should not wrongly accuse any good person."

As Jia Zhang finished speaking, Chen Xiao's originally kind eyes turned cold.

"So, you old Bidden Jia Zhang, I now suspect that you stole my old hen, and you still have chicken fat on your hands!"

"Not only is there chicken fat, but there's also a faint trace of blood. How else do you plan to argue? Are you planning to say you also bought an old hen?"

Jia Zhang subconsciously looked at her hands, then wiped them all over her body in panic.

"What chicken fat? It's obviously lard. I was just preparing to cook at home and accidentally got some on me."

"If it's not chicken fat, why are you rubbing it on?"

"Huaiguo, come on, let's beat up this old Bidden first!"

After saying that, Chen Xiao kicked directly at Jia Zhang's chest, knocking her to the ground.

Qin Huaiguo was not inferior to Chen Xiao at all. He went up and kicked Jia Zhang several times, making her scream like a ghost.

"Oh my! This is so unjust and lawless! They're trying to beat me to death in broad daylight."

"Three uncles, are you still watching me get beaten? Why don't you come over and stop the fight? Are you only happy to see me beaten to death?"

In fact, this is not the fault of the three uncles. It can only be said that Chen Xiao and Qin Huaiguo acted too quickly. Before the three uncles could react, the two rushed over.

Zhang Cuilan on the side clapped and cheered.

"Beat him, Huaiguo, beat him hard! If this thief were in the countryside, he would deserve to be beaten to death!"

She had long disliked this sarcastic old woman, but she didn't expect that it was actually her who stole the old hen.

"Chen Xiao, stop it, you two! Didn't you just say you wouldn't wrongly accuse a good person before you find the old hen? You can't be sure that the old sister-in-law is the one who stole the old hen just based on a little grease on her hand."

Yi Zhonghai ran over and hugged Qin Huaiguo who was about to kick Jia Zhang again.

No matter what, Jia Zhang is the mother of his apprentice, and he can't just watch her being beaten.

If his apprentice Jia Dongxu knew about this, he would definitely sever the master-disciple relationship with him.

"Uncle, I said that we shouldn't wrongly accuse a good person before we find the old hen."

"But I'm sure it was Jia Zhang who stole it. Why can't I beat her?"

"Huaiguo, go search that room. Look under the bed, on the stove, and in the closet. Maybe the old hen is hiding in there. Oh, and go in with an old man so that he won't accuse you of stealing his things."

Chen Xiao pointed at Jia Zhang's house and said.

Qin Huaiguo nodded in agreement, then broke free from Yi Zhonghai, grabbed his arm and ran to Jia Zhang's house.

"Brother-in-law, I know. I'll go find him right away."

"Nonsense! You are fooling around!" Yi Zhonghai was caught by the arm by Qin Huaiguo and he couldn't break free at all. He was dragged by Qin Huaiguo to run, and his posture was very funny.

"Nonsense? We'll know if it's nonsense when we find the old hen."

Chen Xiao looked indifferent.

At this time, Zhang Cuilan gave Chen Xiao a thumbs up.

"Chen Xiao, you did a good job. You should have given him a beating first. We must let others know what happens if someone steals from us!"

Jia Zhang, lying on the ground, watched Qin Huaiguo and Yi Zhonghai run to her house. She slapped the ground with her hands and rolled around in a tantrum.

"This is unjust, this is lawless, no way, I'm going to call the police! Second uncle, third uncle, please help me call the police!"

"Not only did Chen Xiao hit me, he also broke into my house. I'm calling the police!"

Jia Zhang was afraid that Chen Xiao would really find the old hen in her house.

She regretted not dealing with it sooner, and she didn't expect Chen Xiao to target her so quickly!

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui looked at each other, neither of them was ready to call the police.

For things like this, it’s better to just watch the show from the sidelines.

Another point is that if they can avoid calling the police, they should do so. If they really do call the police, the street office will definitely cause trouble for them, saying that they are the bosses of the courtyard house and have done nothing.

Qin Huaiguo ran to Jia Zhang's house, released Yi Zhonghai, and then searched her house.

He first poked the stove with a stick, but when he didn't find the old hen, he went straight to the bedroom.

He threw out all the clothes in the closet and started searching again.

When Yi Zhonghai saw this scene, he didn't know what to say.

He couldn't stop it now.

After sighing to himself, he watched Qin Huaiguo continue searching.

After searching around Jia Zhang's house, Qin Huaiguo still couldn't find the old hen. He became a little anxious. He looked up at the roof, which was also very clean, with no trace of the old hen at all.

"That's impossible. How could there not be one?"

"Since my brother-in-law said she stole it, the old hen must be hidden at home."

"Is it possible that the old hen was not stolen by the old sister-in-law? You two first beat up the old sister-in-law, and then turned her house upside down like this. Aren't you afraid that the old sister-in-law will call the police?" Yi Zhonghai said coldly.

He didn't dare to scold Chen Xiao, but could he not scold his brother-in-law?

What kind of world has a country boy seen? He must have been scared to death by himself.

What happened next was completely contrary to what Yi Zhonghai had expected. Instead of being afraid, Qin Huaiguo started to scold Yi Zhonghai.

"What are you yelling about, you old bastard? My brother-in-law said there was one, so she stole it!"

At this moment, a flash of inspiration passed through Qin Huaiguo's mind.

"By the way, my brother-in-law just said under the bed..."
