Qin Huairu had been worried that Xu Damao would make a fuss when he found out that the chickens from her family were missing, and now Xu Damao was indeed causing a scene! He was even going to call the police!
If that happened, it would be impossible to hide the fact that Si Geng had stolen the chickens! Just then, Sha Zhu was stewing chicken, and she suddenly thought of making Sha Zhu take the blame!
When Sha Zhu learned that it was Si Geng who had stolen the chickens, he became anxious as well. "Xu Damao, you bastard, come back here!"
Sha Zhu hurriedly shouted to stop Xu Damao. Xu Damao paused and looked at Sha Zhu. "Why are you yelling for Grandpa? Grandpa is still going to call the police to catch the chicken thief!"
Xu Damao shot back at Sha Zhu and continued walking out, but Wang Jiefang noticed that Xu Damao's steps had noticeably slowed down!
Seeing that Xu Damao was ignoring him and not coming back, Sha Zhu angrily said, "If you dare to call the police, just wait until I see you again; I’ll hit you every time!"
With Xu Damao's cunning nature, he could easily tell that Sha Zhu didn't want him to report it. He deliberately said to Sha Zhu, "Oh no, I'm so scared you'll hit me. I think I should just call the police!"
Seeing that Xu Damao was impervious to reason, Sha Zhu began to lose his patience. But he had no way to deal with Xu Damao. He could only pretend to be magnanimous and say, "Xu Damao, calling the police like this will affect our courtyard's reputation. How about this: I'll compensate you for your chickens, so just don't report it!"
As soon as these words came out of Sha Zhu's mouth, everyone in the courtyard looked at him with changed expressions!
When did Sha Zhu become so kind-hearted? He was actually willing to compensate Xu Damao for his stolen chickens?
"Hey, can't you see? Sha Zhu isn't becoming a good person; he's helping his sister Qin! Didn't you see Qin Huairu whispering with Sha Zhu just now? It's likely that the chickens from Xu Damao's family were stolen by Si Geng!"
"I think it was Si Geng too; otherwise, why would Qin Huairu just now shout at Xu Damao not to call the police? Now she’s talking to Sha Zhu, and he also doesn’t want Xu Damao to report it. I don’t believe there’s nothing fishy going on here!"
The people in the courtyard could see through it, and of course Xu Damao could too. He knew Sha Zhu too well; what could make him nervous was only anything related to Qin Huairu!
Xu Damao decided to tease Sha Zhu. "How can that be? Since you didn’t steal the chickens, why should I accept your compensation?" He continued, "I think it's better to call the police and let them catch the thief!"
At this moment, Qin Huairu also spoke up. "Xu Damao, since Sha Zhu is willing to compensate you for your chickens, why do you want to call the police? After all, you haven't really lost anything!"
Seeing that Qin Huairu finally couldn't hold back and stood up for him, Xu Damao smiled and said, "Qin Huairu, you're so anxious about me calling the police. If I'm not mistaken, then it must be Si Geng who stole my chickens!"
Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, Qin Huairu showed an expression of grievance. "Xu Damao, Si Geng is still just a child; how can you accuse him of stealing chickens? If this gets out, how am I supposed to face others?"
Jia Zhangshi also shouted in agreement. "Exactly! Xu Damao, how dare you slander my Si Geng! If his reputation is ruined because of this, I won’t let this go with you!"
Xu Damao completely ignored Jia Zhangshi's threats and turned his gaze back to Qin Huairu. "Qin Huairu, since you say I'm slandering Si Geng, then I'll go ahead and report it so the police can investigate who really stole my chickens. Wouldn't that be perfect?"
Sha Zhu saw that Xu Damao kept insisting on calling the police but remained standing there without moving. He realized that this bastard knew very well that Si Geng had stolen his family's chickens. Qin Huairu clearly understood as well; her face turned pale as she looked at Xu Damao. "Damao, are you trying to drive me crazy?"
