Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

If she hadn't eaten her fill in the courtyard, how could she have become like this?"

Jia Zhang looked at the three children and asked them one by one with a serious face: "Banggeng, you have to tell grandma honestly, did you take that chicken?"

Bang Geng was flustered, shook his head and replied, "I really don't know."

"Xiao Dang?"

Xiao Dang pretended to be confused and responded: "I don't know either..."

"Sophora japonica?"

Little Huaihua was young and didn't know much, so she told the truth right away: "Grandma, my brother's beggar's chicken is so delicious~"

Hearing this, Jia Zhang's mood became heavy. Qin Huairu pointed at the children and said helplessly: "Look at this situation..."

Bang Geng hurriedly defended himself: "I didn't take that chicken. I found it in the front yard. If I hadn't caught it, it would have run away."

Qin Huairu was very angry and tapped Banggeng's head hard: "You just love to get into trouble!"

Jia Zhang said with a blank expression, "The three of you remember this: you must stay home after lunch to do your homework! You are not allowed to go out!"

The three children nodded obediently and replied, "Got it."

Qin Huairu thought of the chicken that belonged to the Xu family, and couldn't help but frowned and became a little anxious!

After a while, Vice President Liu Haizhong informed every family in the courtyard that a community-wide meeting would be held.

A general meeting of the whole district was held, and everyone gathered there.

Community ** has a square wooden table, and Dean Yi Zhonghai, Vice Dean Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui are sitting near the table.

First, Vice Dean Liu Haizhong stood up and announced to the residents: "This district-wide meeting has only one topic! That is about the chicken that was stolen from Xu Damao's home! Our community has never had a theft for many years! It is really shameful that such a theft occurred!

The two vice presidents and I discussed and decided to hold a community-wide meeting and inform all residents of the situation! Now, the senior president Yi Zhonghai will be responsible for leading the meeting!"

Dean Yi Zhonghai then said, "I won't say much. I believe everyone should understand that the impact of this situation is very serious! As for the problem of the theft of this chicken, if we really find someone in our community who is suspicious and is willing to admit his mistake and return the chicken, we can forgive his behavior and just need to compensate Xu Damao's family!"

"But if no one admits and takes responsibility for this, then I'm afraid the only way to deal with it is to report it to the police. In this way, once you are arrested and convicted, it will be a big deal! Not only can you lose your job, you may even be sentenced! Then you can no longer stay in this harmonious and peaceful community."

Hearing these words, Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel flustered and nervous, and her eyes couldn't help but glance in the direction of He Yuzhu.

But He Yuzhu ignored it. He just held the enamel cup filled with hot water for soaking tea in his hands and kept shaking his feet to keep warm.

### 4 Xu Damao’s Dilemma ###

Things gradually heated up after life in the courtyard resumed.

Xu Damao pointed at He Yuzhu and said angrily: "I am sure that the chicken in my house was stolen by Shazhu! I have always had a good relationship with my neighbors, but it is Shazhu who always goes against me! So I am sure that he must have stolen the chicken."

At this time, the second uncle Liu Haizhong also jumped out to speak up, wanting to show his authority, and shouted: "It is true, Sha Zhu is a big suspect! You, Sha Zhu, tell me, did you take the chicken from Xu Damao's house?"

He Yuzhu was really fed up with these inexplicable provocations and unreasonable accusations. He just wanted to quietly observe the development of the situation, but he was forcibly dragged into the **. He thought to himself: I just wanted to live a stable life, but you guys came to pick a fight!

"That's enough!" He Yuzhu opened the kettle, poured a cup of hot tea and sipped it slowly. "Xu Damao, do you think you are telling a joke? Do you think what you believe is the truth? You are just talking nonsense! Why don't you just change your name to Shamao!"

Then he said to Liu Haizhong bluntly: "And you, Liu Haizhong, just because I respect you and call you Uncle, it doesn't mean that you are really powerful. You are almost crazy about wanting to be an official, right? You know, I am in charge of a cafeteria team of more than 30 people in the factory! What do you think you have to show off?"

Just as the emotions were getting heated, He Yuzhu placed the enamel cup in his hand on the stool and suddenly spat a mouthful of tea onto the ground: "It's really amazing. We haven't even finished talking yet, and someone jumps out and talks nonsense in a hurry. It's not your turn to interrupt, right?"

Faced with this barrage of verbal attacks, anger ignited in Liu Haizhong's heart and his body trembled involuntarily!

Xu Damao was blocked by these words and couldn't fight back, so he pointed at He Yuzhu and waved his hand around; He Yuzhu couldn't stand the other party's unruly attitude!

He suddenly stepped forward and said, "How can you be so ignorant of your limits!" Then he grabbed Xu Damao's outstretched index finger and twisted it, causing Xu Damao's knees to go weak in pain and he almost fell to the ground!

"Silly Zhu, how dare you scold my dad! Wait, we two are going to teach you a lesson!" The two sons in Liu Haizhong could no longer suppress their impulse and wanted to teach He Yuzhu a lesson; but when they ran to him and were about to attack him.

Before anyone could raise their hands, they were slapped loudly on the face by He Yuzhu, making them dizzy and disoriented.

He Yuzhu did not relax after gaining the upper hand. He grabbed Xu Damao's arm tightly and twisted it behind his back, making him unable to resist. Then he kicked Xu Damao's knee hard, making him kneel on the ground! At the same time, he scolded Liu Haizhong's son: "The elders don't know the limits, and the two children don't know how to respect the elders. They should all learn a lesson!"

Then he kicked the Liu brothers Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian respectively, making them roll into a pile like puppies!

The third elder, who had been watching the development of the situation with a smile on his face, was shocked by this sudden scene!

Instead, the head elder quickly stood up and tried to push He Yuzhu to stop him. He lectured him, "Stop doing this! Stop it! Silly Zhu, what are you doing! You shouldn't beat others no matter what! Do you still follow the rules?"

However, He Yuzhu's temper also rose at this time. He pushed the head elder Yi Zhonghai away and shouted loudly: "Rules? Whose rules are those! They are allowed to wrongly accuse people, but I can't teach them a lesson! I just don't like the look between Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao, so what!"

He Yuzhu used his immense strength to capture Liu Haizhong with one hand, and held down Xu Damao with the other hand; the two were controlled and unable to move!

"I think they are bad people. My family has been poor peasants for generations, yet they dare to falsely accuse me! Come! Follow me to the government office to discuss this matter! I want to sue them! I just don't believe it. Is there no justice here? Where is fairness and justice? Where are the laws and regulations!"

The second elder immediately weakened when he heard that He Yuzhu wanted to call the police to accuse others, and begged, "Oh my! I really can't bear it, Silly Zhu, let me go! I did it wrong! I did it wrong! I spoke inappropriately and was talking nonsense. I hope you don't bear a grudge and let me go!"

Although Xu Damao had half-knelt on the ground, he refused to admit his guilt and kept struggling and shouting, "How could you do this, Shazhu! Let me go! Go ahead and file your case, I'm not afraid! How dare you turn the tables! I'm going to file a complaint for this too! Oh yeah!"

Seeing that the other party was not giving up, He Yuzhu kicked Xu Damao's tailbone again!

At this time, Xu Damao could only cover his butt with his other hand and slowly stand up. He fell silent because of the extreme pain!

Seeing her husband being attacked, Lou Xiao'e rushed over and tried to push He Yuzhu away: "Silly Zhu, let go! Don't hurt our Damao! If you don't stop, don't say I'm rude!"

He Yuzhu noticed that Lou Xiao'e was approaching aggressively, as if she was going to scratch his face, and in panic he quickly pushed her away with his shoulder! He accidentally touched the sensitive part of her chest, causing her to press her chest in pain. Since there were many witnesses, she wanted to massage to relieve the pain but was too embarrassed to do so.

The old man and other elders hurriedly blocked the road to stop He Yuzhu from leaving, and repeatedly pleaded for He Haizhong and Xu Damao.

They were afraid that the dispute within the hospital would spread outside the hospital and cause unimaginable consequences. It would create a bad impression on the street committee and its affiliated units, and even damage the image of the hospital, making it difficult for the outside world to look at them with accusations.

The old man grabbed He Yuzhu's wrist tightly and persuaded him softly: "He Yuzhu, please stop. Let's calm down and have a good talk. If I can help you, I will definitely lend a hand. Just consider it as a request from you, okay?"

The third elder also held his other hand tightly and advised: "Silly Zhu, there is a saying that goes, people should be tolerant and forgiving, so don't pursue it. Everything can be discussed and negotiated, and it is better for neighbors to help each other than distant relatives. We have all known each other for such a long time.

If you look at me, you can let me, an old man, worry less for once, right? I remember saying before that I hope to meet the counselor of Banggeng's class, Mr. Ran. I can help you arrange it, how about it? "

When he heard the two people's request, He Yuzhu stopped his actions, and after gaining the upper hand, he pretended to be stupid and said: "Okay, uncle, you must not forget what you said! This is what you promised me! And you said you would help me with Teacher Ran, remember that I will ask you for help tomorrow, you can't refuse me, don't blame me if you go back on your word!"

The third elder said quickly: "Don't worry, don't worry, this is the third elder in the compound who promised to arrange a meeting for you! Is it acceptable?"

The first uncle also nodded in agreement: "Okay, if you let go and communicate well, all problems can be discussed!"

He Yuzhu therefore let go of Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong, returned to his seat, picked up the ceramic water bottle, opened the lid and took a sip, then took another sip and spat out the tea leaves in his mouth, spitting them onto the ground with a "puff".

Xu Damao shrank aside to hide himself, timid and afraid to speak any more. Lou Xiao'e looked at him lovingly and rubbed his swollen fingers!

As for Liu Haizhong, he felt that he had lost all face here, so he took his son back home quietly...
