Siheyuan: At the beginning, you can absorb good luck to stay alive.

When Mei Wenhua heard the commotion outside, she really didn't want to open the door. These three uncles really knew how to choose the time. They would come early or late and would come over when they were eating.

Mei Wenhua even wondered whether the third uncle had been guarding somewhere, just waiting for them to eat.

After glancing at Officer Lu who was concentrating on eating, Mei Wenhua came to the door with a bowl and opened it.

"Xiao Meilan, hurry up, put all the chicken in the bowl first, and eat slowly later."

When Mei Wenhua opened the door, Officer Lu picked out the chicken from the pot and put it into his sister's bowl.

Mei Wenhua: "..." If I had known you were such a police officer, I would have filled my own bowl first.

"First Master, Third Master, have you eaten? Come in and sit down."

The third uncle sniffed and strode into the room, "We haven't had time to eat yet! I was worried that Officer Lu would be in a hurry to go back. We came together as soon as the first uncle came back."

The uncle followed him in and looked directly into the kitchen. After seeing Officer Lu, he strode towards Officer Lu and stretched out his hand as he walked, "I'm sorry! Officer Lu, you are here to do official business in the yard today. I went to work and didn’t even have time to receive you.”

"It doesn't matter. Most of them went to work when I came here. It's fine as long as the third uncle is here. Besides, I have little Wenhua and little Meilan to help me!"

"First Master, Third Master, please sit down. I'll serve you some rice. Let's have some light meals." Mei Wenhua put the bowl on the dining table and walked into the kitchen to find a clean bowl. "Officer Lu, could you please turn up the heat?" , put some vegetables in and cook."

"I'm so sorry, I don't have to serve too much!" The third uncle sat down at the dining table with a happy face, "I have been working on Silly Zhu's things all morning, and I haven't had a hot bite yet."

"Little Wenhua, there's no need to serve me rice. I'll go back to eat later. Your aunt is cooking." The uncle pulled the bench aside and sat down.

"Master, let's eat at my house. We washed a lot of vegetables at noon. It's enough to eat. Don't worry about not having enough to eat. We just have something to eat with Officer Lu." Mei Wenhua handed a bowl of rice to the master.

"Okay! Your family is so welcoming!" The first uncle took the meal, "Then I will accompany Officer Lu, and we will just chat while eating."

After serving rice to the first uncle, Mei Wenhua continued to serve rice to the third uncle. He really only filled half the bowl for the third uncle. "Third uncle, you said you don't need to serve too much. Is this enough?"

The third uncle said: "That's enough, that's enough. I'll eat more food." I was just being polite. This kid was really honest. He really only served me half the bowl. What a mistake!

Officer Lu also finished cooking the food at this time, found a large bowl, poured the food into it, and placed it on the dining table.

With the addition of the first and third uncles, we can no longer continue to eat around the stove.

"First Master, Third Master, let's just make do with it. I'm a rough guy and don't know how to cook, so I just cooked it in one pot. I don't know if the taste is to your liking?" Officer Lu greeted.

"Alas!... How can I let Officer Lu do it yourself? This is so rude! You are a guest in our courtyard, and we ask you to cook! I should have gone to my house to eat." The third uncle said embarrassedly .

"It's okay. Xiao Wenhua and Xiao Meilan don't know how to cook. The three of us were planning to make do with a little food."

"Well, it tastes really good! It seems that Officer Lu is being humble. It's really delicious!" The third uncle picked a piece of chicken from the bowl.

I specially picked chicken to eat. Is it not delicious?

Mei Wenhua silently picked up the bowl and sat down at the dining table to eat.

Officer Lu brought over another large bowl of food, then picked up the bowl and sat down at the dining table.

Several people chatted while eating.

Soon the chicken in the bowl was cleared away, leaving only Chinese cabbage and radishes.

Seeing that the rice in the third uncle's bowl had been eaten down to the bottom of the bowl, Mei Wenhua pretended not to notice and refused to add more rice to the third uncle.

My younger sister, Mei Lan, lowered her head and ate the chicken happily. She was the only one who still had chicken in her bowl!

"Officer Lu, the first uncle and I are here to consult you. Will Silly Zhu be sentenced in a situation like today's?" The third uncle finally remembered that he was here to talk about something.

Hearing the third uncle's question, the first uncle slowed down his eating and looked at Officer Lu to see what he would say?

"This is not certain yet. I came here today for preliminary investigation. The most important thing is to wait for the results from the hospital. If the second uncle's injuries constitute serious injuries, then Silly Zhu will really be sentenced."

"Si Zhu's attack wasn't that serious, so he shouldn't be seriously injured. If he and the second uncle can reconcile, can they not be sentenced?" The first uncle then asked.

"The most optimistic estimate is that the two can reconcile, and the second uncle's injury is only minor. If it does not reach the level of a crime, then there is no need to be sentenced. Just a few days of detention and a fine." Officer Lu explained.

"It would be great if they don't need to be sentenced. We will actively work for them and strive for reconciliation, so that Silly Zhu doesn't have to go to jail!" The uncle had an idea.

"I guess the second uncle will not reconcile with Silly Zhu. The second uncle couldn't stand up at that time!" Mei Wenhua said boldly and directly threw a basin of cold water on the first uncle.

"The second uncle is still generous. With me and the first uncle mediating, there should be no problem."

Compared to your third uncle, maybe the second uncle will be a little better and not as calculating as you, but if the second uncle is really paralyzed, I don't believe he will really forgive Silly Zhu.

Mei Wenhua silently took the last bite of rice from the bowl and put it into her mouth, then put the bowl on the table.

He was sure that he couldn't be optimistic about the matter between Silly Zhu and the second uncle!

But it’s none of his business, neither of them are good people!

"First Master, Third Master, and Officer Lu, you guys eat slowly. If it's not enough, just tell me and I'll cook some more vegetables for you. Sister, eat it quickly. If you don't eat it, the chicken will be cold!"

"That's enough, no need to cook! I'm full too." Officer Lu shook his head, cleaned the rice in the bowl, and placed the bowl on the dining table.

"First uncle, second uncle, you take your time. If you two can work together and resolve their grievances, that would be better of course. As long as the parties concerned do not continue to pursue the case, our police station can also start from A light punishment.”

"Thank you, Officer Lu. Your words are enough. We will try our best to coordinate. We are all in the same courtyard. Any grudges cannot be resolved." After hearing Officer Lu's words, the uncle was full of confidence.

When he came back at noon, he panicked when he heard that Silly Zhu had been arrested and that Officer Lu had come to investigate.

It doesn't matter if Silly Zhu goes in, what will happen to his pension plan?

In the yard, only Shazhu has a slightly better heart, but no one else can be trusted!

Now that he heard that Sha Zhu had a chance to avoid being sentenced, he was ready to help Sha Zhu, making Sha Zhu owe him a big favor, and he was one step closer to the pension plan.

Thinking of this, the first man's appetite improved a lot. He picked up a piece of radish and tasted it happily.

Seeing that her brother and Officer Lu had finished eating, the younger sister also speeded up her meal. After eating the chicken in the bowl, she put the bowl down and said, "Brother, I can't eat any more of this rice."

"Don't waste it, eat it thoroughly. There is no more food in the pot. You have to wait until mother comes back in the evening to have food!" Mei Wenhua deliberately glared at her sister.

My sister didn't care. She burped, walked into the kitchen with the bowl, and found a place to put it. "Then I won't eat anymore. I'll save it for dinner."

Only the first and third uncles were left eating, but there was no rice in their bowls. After taking two bites of the food, they put down their chopsticks with unfinished thoughts.
