Siheyuan: Picked up by a goddess in 48 years

Looking at the group of people gathered in the front yard, Lu Zhenyuan was speechless and couldn't help but glance at Qin Huairu who was wiping away tears.

Yi Zhonghai was sitting behind the table with a sullen face. Liu Haizhong came over from the backyard holding a teacup and subconsciously tried to move closer, but was glared at by Yi Zhonghai.

"Old Liu, you have to go downstairs. You are no longer the second uncle in charge, and you still have work to do here."

Liu Haizhong's face froze, he snorted coldly and walked down the stairs.

At this time, Yan Bugui also came out of the house stealthily. He didn't dare to look at Qin Huairu's eyes and shrank into the corner.

Seeing that most people had arrived, Yi Zhonghai took a sip of tea, stood up, and waved his hand for everyone to be quiet.

"I called everyone here today to have a long talk. Let's not waste time. The incident probably happened during the two days before the Chinese New Year. Bang Geng killed a flock of chickens raised by the Lu family."

"It's just that the Jia family really couldn't afford the compensation at that time, because this matter caused a lot of gossip about the Jia family, and it even spread from our compound to the steel mill." Yi Zhonghai said here.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Qin Huairu, only to find that Qin Huairu was staring at Liu Haizhong with grievance.

Wait! Could it be...

Liu Haizhong was confused by everyone's stares, and then he reacted, "No, that's not what I said!"

Everyone understood, okay, that's what he said.

"Cough cough."

Yi Zhonghai called everyone's attention back and continued, "Look, Qin Huairu happened to have some money in her hand today so she planned to return the chickens to the Lu family as compensation of four chickens, but then Old Yan's wife took one and Old Liu's Liu Guangtian took one."

"Well, the accounts don't match. Old Yan, Old Liu, tell me what you think about this." Yi Zhonghai took the opportunity to pass the blame on to others. After all, it was none of his business.

"I'll pay for this." Yan Bugui said with a painful look on his face. Now that things have come to this, there is no way to avoid it, so he can only pay for it.

He reluctantly took out three dollars from his pocket and handed it to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu didn't answer. "Teacher Yan, are you home? I knocked on the door just now and no one was home, right?"

Yan Bugui forced a smile on his embarrassed face, "Hehe, I really didn't notice it, I didn't notice it."

Qin Huairu glanced at the three dollars and snorted inwardly.

She looked at Yi Zhonghai pitifully.

"Uncle, you are the manager of the courtyard, you have to make the decision for us orphans and widows. We admit our mistakes, but you can't bully us orphans and widows."

Yi Zhonghai frowned.

"Huai Ru, stop crying and tell me what happened. Didn't Old Yan compensate you for the money?"

"Uncle, the compensation for that chicken is eight dollars, but Teacher Yan only took three dollars. Isn't this bullying me because I don't have a man in my family? Woo woo woo..."

Some people looked at Yan Bugui with contempt, while others felt something was wrong.

It was Yan Bugui who spoke up again, "Qin Huairu, you have to be honest when you speak. Your chicken is a golden chicken, and the market price is about three yuan a piece!"

"Yes, Qin Huairu, don't ask for too much. You should be content with letting Teacher Yan pay for it."

"Yes."

Someone on the side responded.

However, Qin Huairu was still crying and explained: "I'm not trying to blackmail Teacher Yan. This money is for compensating Xiao Lu."

Everyone knew who Xiao Lu Qin Huairu was talking about, and they all shut up immediately.

Seeing that no one spoke, Yi Zhonghai's face twitched, and he could only speak up himself, "Xiao Lu, your price is too high. Your sister Qin's family is not easy to begin with, and Bang Geng was wrong first. How about this, I'll ask him to apologize to you, how about three dollars?"

This old Deng had been biased towards Qin Huairu and distorted the facts from the beginning. Lu Zhenyuan did not reply immediately, but glanced at Qin Huairu meaningfully. He did not think that Qin Huairu's previous words were unintentional.

"Three dollars? You can buy me a chicken for three dollars?"

"Three dollars, and you need a ticket to buy a small whole chicken. One of my fat chickens can destroy two of those chickens! I would not mind if I asked for ten dollars. If someone thinks eight dollars is too much."

"Then compensate me with a chicken of equal weight. One is not heavy enough, so I can accept two together. No need to force it. Just compensate me and forget about the apology. After all, you only remember to eat and not to be beaten. I am the one who has no shame to skin you. I have to mention it."

These words were so rude that Qin Huairu blushed.

Yi Zhonghai was also speechless.

At the same time, he knew that three dollars was not enough, and he secretly hated this guy for not giving him face, but the problem still had to be solved, so he looked at Yan Bugui.

"Old Yan, you heard it too. Why don't you buy one as compensation to them?"

Yan Bugui's face twitched.

A chicken costs three dollars, which equals to six dollars including the ticket. According to what Lu Zhenyuan said, in order to get the required weight, he has to buy at least two chickens, which means the total cost is twelve dollars including the money and the ticket.

After glaring at the three aunts, Yan Bugui was still reluctant to let them go and gave them another five yuan.

Seeing Yan Bugui took out the money, Yi Zhonghai's eyes fell on Liu Haizhong.

Before she could open her mouth, Qin Huairu's crying suddenly became louder and turned into loud wailing.

"Liu Haizhong, I know you look down on the widow, but the widow didn't eat your food or drink your water. I just want to get back the compensation money, but you kicked me out and spread rumors in the factory. I... woo woo."

"you shut up!"

The bangs are anxious.

He just doesn't want to pay the money. When did he chase people away? And...

"Qin Huairu, stop talking nonsense. Who spread the rumor?!"

"You still say you didn't, but you, Yi Ye and Zhu Zi are the only ones in the factory who know about the chicken."

"You said you didn't, are you saying it was Zhuzi and Yidaye who said it?"

Yi Zhonghai narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Haizhong.

He is not so foolish. Although he wants to embarrass Qin Huairu, he will not do so because the probability of it leaking out is too high.

I just don't know if it was Zhuzi who did it, but Zhuzi has gone to prepare the 'reception dinner' and hasn't come back yet, I'll have to ask him when he comes back.

Here, Liu Haizhong had confronted Qin Huairu for several times, but how could he win over Qin Huairu? Besides, Qin Huairu didn't need to say much. As long as she looked aggrieved, it would be his fault.

Looking at everyone's eyes on him, Liu Haizhong lost his mind a little and raised his hand.

"Liu Haizhong! What do you want to do!" Yi Zhonghai stopped him in time.

Liu Haizhong felt a chill on his forehead and came to his senses, "No, nothing, there was a mosquito."

Everyone looked at the cotton-padded jacket he had not yet taken off, and then looked at Liu Haizhong, their eyes more or less showing some concern and amusement.

"If you take someone else's things, you should compensate them. Especially, Old Liu, your attitude towards female comrades is very problematic. You should pay Qin Huairu two more dollars as an apology." Yi Zhonghai made the decision directly.

Liu Haizhong opened his mouth, but then closed it again.

He can't argue with that!

Qin Huairu took the money and gave it directly to Lu Zhenyuan in front of everyone. Lu Zhenyuan naturally knew what she was thinking. This was to divide the hatred.

He didn't care. After giving Qin Huairu two dollars in change, he sighed, "Qin Huairu, you should be thankful that you have run into someone as easy to talk to as me. If it were someone else, your family would have killed a whole flock of fat chickens that can be used for meat and lay eggs."

"Calling the police is a light punishment. These days, you can't buy anything without a ticket even if you have money, not to mention that the weight of the chicken I raise is comparable to the weight of two chickens on the market. It took me so long to pay you eight dollars per chicken. You should really thank me."

Qin Huairu looked a little unnatural, but she concealed it well and immediately bowed to express her gratitude.

"I just accept it calmly. After all, the chickens shouldn't be given to you. After all, private transactions are not allowed. The eight dollars per chicken is compensation for killing the chicken, not the money to buy the chicken. I'm a generous person, so I'll treat you to the chickens."

Qin Huairu's expression changed instantly.

Yan Bugui reacted quickly and his eyes lit up, but Liu Haizhong hadn't reacted yet.

Lu Zhenyuan no longer cared about what was happening in the courtyard and went straight back to his house.

What his last sentence revealed was that the chicken was free in the first place, and the compensation was the cost of killing the chicken. The chicken was killed with a stick, so naturally the Jia family should pay compensation.

Neither the Yan family nor the Liu family needs to pay compensation.

But now they paid, and it was Qin Huairu who asked them to pay, so...
