"Since it's not you who stole my chicken, then where did my chicken go?"
Wang Jiefang, seeing Xu Damao still mumbling to himself, called out to him, "Brother Damao, if it wasn't Shazhu who stole your chicken, then it must have been someone else. Shouldn't you report it to the police and let them investigate since you've been robbed?"
Reminded by Wang Jiefang, Xu Damao suddenly woke up. "Right! I can report it to the police! It was Yi Zhonghai who always stopped us from doing that. I didn't even think about calling the police!"
"You can't report it!"
Just as Xu Damao took a couple of steps, two voices interrupted him.
Everyone looked curiously at Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai. They exchanged glances; Qin Huairu lowered her head while Yi Zhonghai spoke up, "Xu Damao, it's just a chicken that went missing. If you report this, how will the other courtyards view us? When will we ever regain our reputation as an outstanding courtyard?"
Xu Damao shot Yi Zhonghai a disdainful look. "Yi Zhonghai, you're not some big shot anymore. You have no say in whether I report it or not. And don’t you find what you said ridiculous? How does my reporting it affect our courtyard? Who made that rule? I think the one who actually brings shame to our courtyard is the thief!"
"Are you so eager to stop me from reporting because you know who stole my chicken? Are you covering for him?" Xu Damao accused.
"You’re talking nonsense! How could I possibly know who stole the chicken? The reason I'm stopping you from reporting is for everyone's good!" Yi Zhonghai retorted angrily.
Yi Zhonghai glared at Xu Damao. Since he lost his status as the caretaker of the courtyard, these kids no longer took his words seriously. He had to find a way to regain his authority!
"Cut it out! Who do you think you are? What right do you have to represent everyone? What qualifications do you have to stop me from reporting for the sake of 'everyone's good'? Director Wang already said that if there's an issue in the courtyard, we should go to the street office; if that doesn't work, we can call the police. What gives you the right to stop me?"
After being scolded by Xu Damao, Yi Zhonghai trembled with anger. "Fine! You ungrateful brat! I won't care anymore!"
As if he cared about your opinion!
Xu Damao's disdainful remark nearly made Yi Zhonghai choke on his anger.
Seeing that Yi Zhonghai couldn't stop Xu Damao any longer, Qin Huairu started to panic! She kept signaling Shazhu with her eyes, but Shazhu, being as clueless as ever, completely misunderstood her signals and thought she wanted some chicken soup!
"Okay, Sister Qin! I'll get you a bowl of chicken soup later!"
Furious, Qin Huairu pinched Shazhu and then pointed at Xu Damao who was about to leave. She whispered urgently, "We can't let Xu Damao report it!"
Shazhu immediately understood and looked at Qin Huairu in shock. "Is Xu Damao's chicken related to Shige?"
Qin Huairu's expression turned grim as she nodded.
Shige had taken his two younger sisters out for the afternoon. As soon as they returned, Qin Huairu caught a whiff of roasted chicken on them!
After a few questions, she quickly found out that it was Shige who had stolen Xu Damao's chicken and roasted it!
