The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Sha Zhu's furious shout.

The lively atmosphere in every household suddenly disappeared.

When adults catch naughty children, they drag them home and don't want to get involved in trouble until the truth is revealed.

"Silly Zhu, how much money can you have? Isn't your father in charge of your money? It's only two cents, maybe you put it in the wrong pocket or forgot where it is?"

Uncle Zhou, who was squatting at the door smoking, flicked the ash slowly and looked at the children who were laughing and playing just now, and were dragged back into the house by their parents. He was the first one to take the initiative to ask.

It would have been better if he hadn't said this. Once he said it, Sha Zhu got even more mad and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm onto the ground.

"If it was really just one or two cents, I wouldn't be shouting here. I finally saved up more than 70 yuan and planned to give Jia Lele a New Year's gift. But you bastard took it all. Food coupons, meat coupons, industrial coupons, not a penny left for me~!"

"How could you still save more than 70? Where did the money come from?"

While Sha Zhu was still feeling indignant and furious, He Daqing had already opened the curtain and walked out of the room. This father was really strong-willed. He was not in a hurry even when his son lost his money.

"Where else could it have come from? I earned it by making mats for others. I scraped it out with great difficulty all year round. No, I have to ask which kid stole it. Please change it back to me as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will really ask the police to come and find me. Whew! They only cut the thinnest part of the hemp rope!"

He stared at He Daqing's face for a long time. He didn't look like someone pretending to be nice after getting the money. Sha Zhu had no choice but to raise his voice again and shout loudly in the yard, so loud that it could be heard in the front and back yards.

"And my chickens. We haven't found the lost chickens. How can we live like this? We can't even afford to buy chickens during Chinese New Year. We are all neighbors. Don't be shameless. Hens that can lay eggs are so precious. You are so shameless!"

Qin Jingru, wearing a flowery cotton jacket, was walking from the Moon Gate to the central courtyard with her hands in her pockets, cursing. It was unclear whether she was really trying to find the chicken or to eliminate suspicion from her own family.

"Hurry up and return the chicken to me, you chicken thief! If you steal it and eat it, your whole family will be in trouble and you will never find a wife for the rest of your life..."

Qin Jingru, who was wearing old cotton shoes and was making a fuss as she stepped on the snow, looked like a thief to everyone. Especially later on, when Sha Zhu got a chicken from somewhere and made chicken soup, she became even more suspicious.

Standing in the middle courtyard, the look Qin Jingru gave He Yuzhui didn't look like she was looking at a good person, but rather she was making indirect accusations.

"Go aside and don't make trouble. There's a hen laying eggs. Can you lay eggs? Is your hen more important or my money? If I lose my food coupons, I won't have any food to eat. I'm going to starve to death~!"

Sha Zhu was already in a bad mood because he lost his money and bills. Seeing Qin Jingru staring at him like a shrew and cursing at him, he waved his hand with an unhappy look on his face and fought back.

"Silly Zhu, you bastard, how dare you talk like that? How dare you be so mean to others? What do you mean I lay eggs? I am an old hen. Did you steal my chickens? Why are you crying thief here? Are you the one~!"

As if someone had stimulated her vital points, Qin Jingru exploded when the topic of laying eggs was brought up. She didn't know what ridiculous thing she remembered, but the blood rushed to her neck. She wanted to tear a piece of flesh off Sha Zhu's body. She was in a very bad mood.

"Okay, okay, you can lay eggs, you can lay eggs better than chickens, get out of the way, hurry up, whose child stole the money, come out obediently, for the sake of the neighborhood, just this once, if you don't come out and the police come, whoever wants to starve me to death, I will go to their house and overturn their pot~!"

Qin Jingru and He Yuzhu were in the central courtyard, performing like a crosstalk, one the supporting role and the other the funny role, and their dialogue was enough to make people laugh to death.

But at this time, no one could be happy. First, they lost a chicken, and then they lost the money. The chicken could be considered a small matter, but the money was a big deal.

"Silly Zhu, you bastard, you have no manners~!"

Qin Jingru grabbed a handful of snow on the ground and, unable to bear it any longer, smashed it onto Sha Zhu's head.

"I'm more cultured than you. Listen to what you said just now. Oh, it's much dirtier than mine. Let's put aside your ability to lay eggs. I have to get the money back first~!"

The two uncultured people argued in the middle courtyard until Qin Jingru was so angry that she covered her stomach and fell down on the snow pile in the middle courtyard.

“Ouch! Ouch~!”

The blood color on her face faded in an instant, Qin Jingru's face turned pale, cold sweat broke out, and her eyeballs kept rolling upwards. She no longer had the momentum she had just now when she was jumping up and down and cursing. She covered her abdomen and curled up into a ball.

Sha Zhu had no idea what Qin Jingru was up to, and he subconsciously took two steps back, looking very cautious, with the words "you're trying to scam me" written all over his face. "I didn't do anything, Qin Jingru, don't blackmail me, my family is not much better than those who fled from famine, and I'm almost starving~!"

"Ma, Ma Hua, hurry up, call Ma Hua!"

Qin Jingru was so weak that she didn't know what was wrong with her. Her eyes turned out because of the stomachache and tears were streaming down her face. She looked at Sha Zhu who was hiding further and further away for fear of being scammed, and said weakly.

"Hurry, Ma Hua, Ma Hua, Jing Ru is in trouble~!"

After all, it was He Daqing, whose usually gentle temperament changed a little at this moment. He was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly called for people towards the backyard.

Ma Hua, who came running from the backyard after realizing what was happening, saw his wife lying in the snow, struggling while holding her stomach. He immediately looked at Sha Zhu subconsciously.

"It's none of my business. It wasn't me. I didn't do it. As she was talking, she fell into the snow by herself. I'm going to do it to my grandson~!"

"Silly Zhu, if anything happens to Jingru, I will settle the score with you when I get back~!"

"..."

"..."

The ridiculous farce ended with MCA pushing a cart to take the person to the hospital.

In the last second, they were acting out the love in the courtyard, and in the next second, the love became plastic. Sha Zhu returned to the courtyard with his head drooping, and facing the questions from his neighbors, his expression looked extremely aggrieved.

"How could something like this happen out of nowhere during Chinese New Year? Someone has to be sent to the hospital?"

"How would I know? I just wanted to get my lost money back. You all heard it. She had to come and make a fuss about the chicken. If I don't get my money back, I'll have nothing to eat. If she doesn't get the chicken back, she can only have a meal of meat at best~!"

Not only did he lose his money and tickets, but he was also in a difficult situation at the MCA. Shazhu simply squatted down in the hallway, his brain almost exploding.

"Did you really lose the money?"

"Why would I lie to you? My father keeps a tight rein on my salary, so I can only find time to cook for others. I save a few bucks with great difficulty. It's not easy for me~!"

Scratching his messy hair, Shazhu felt that this year was a terrible one.

"Money is money, but you can't say that about Jingru. It's too harsh to say whether she can lay eggs or not. Jiecheng only had a child after two years of marriage. Why do you care so much about her~!"

In the end, Uncle Zhou said something fair. He had just been listening to the quarrel between the two. Sha Zhu's mouth could burst a person's lungs.

"You lost money, right? More than 70 yuan, that's not a small matter, two months' salary, and food coupons and so on. Since no one in the yard admits it, we can report it to the police~!"

Liu Guangqi did not expect to see such a scene as soon as he returned to the yard. Seeing that Sha Zhu was obviously angry but had to hold it in, as a former security chief, he felt that something was fishy.

"I wasn't in such a hurry to find the police station. I just wanted to give the kid in the yard a chance. If he stole it, I would just take it out and be done with it. Who knew that Qin Jingru would insist on staying there with me...!"

"When was her chicken lost? When was your money still there?"

Li Feng has been living in a small apartment on Xinzhong Street for some time. For some reason, he felt that this plot looked familiar, so he came out to solve the case with his hands folded.

"The chicken was lost on New Year's Day, the day Banggeng sneaked back. On that day, I even took money from the box to buy it...!"

Sha Zhu paused, and the neighbors around him fell silent. (End of this chapter)
