"Enough! Zhuzi, let Xu Damao take the chicken away!"
As he watched Zhuzi and Xu Damao about to argue again over the pot of chicken, Yi Zhonghai stepped in to stop Zhuzi. He understood that the chicken was lost; after all, Xu Damao had them in a tight spot.
But Zhuzi, being stubborn, refused to back down. "There's no 'but' about it! Zhuzi, just give the chicken soup to Xu Damao. I'll buy another chicken for the old lady!"
Seeing his godfather say that, Zhuzi had no choice but to let Xu Damao take the soup away.
Wang Jiefang looked at Xu Damao's smug expression and felt speechless. Was this really how it ended? If it were him, Wang Jiefang would have made sure Zhuzi spent some time in jail!
In the end, Wang Jiefang realized he had underestimated Xu Damao. Within two days, news of Zhuzi stealing the chicken spread throughout the streets and alleys. It even reached their steel factory, leading to Zhuzi being called in for a reprimand by his superiors. They warned him that if any more incidents damaging the factory's reputation occurred, he would be fired immediately!
Zhuzi didn't even think twice; he immediately pinned the blame on Xu Damao! The truth was that it was indeed Xu Damao who spread the rumor, but how many people had fanned the flames was another matter entirely!
The consequence of this incident was that Director Wang held a large meeting at the courtyard that very day.
She directly began lecturing Zhuzi. "What is going on with you? You were just released from the inspection department for stealing food from the factory a few days ago, and now you're stealing from people in the courtyard? Are you planning to steal from other residents on our street next?"
Zhuzi felt incredibly aggrieved as he stammered, "Director, I'm being wronged! I really didn’t steal Xu Damao’s chicken!"
Director Wang looked at him incredulously. "You didn’t steal Xu Damao’s chicken?"
"Xu Damao, why don’t you explain what happened?"
Seeing that Zhuzi wouldn’t admit to stealing the chicken, Director Wang turned directly to Xu Damao.
Xu Damao stood up and said, "Director Wang, Zhuzi is talking nonsense. He did steal the chicken; he even admitted it at the time and paid me some money for it. Everyone in our courtyard was there!"
Director Wang glanced at Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui to see if what Xu Damao said was true.
Yi Zhonghai stood there with a grim expression but remained silent. Liu Haizhong stepped forward and said, "Director Wang, what Xu Damao said is true. At first, Xu Damao wanted to call the police, but Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu, and Zhuzi all stopped him!"
"Yes! Director Wang, Liu Haizhong is right. Xu Damao even took away the chicken soup that Zhuzi made!" Yan Bugui quickly chimed in to corroborate.
The people below also began recounting what had happened that day.
Director Wang's face darkened as she glared at Zhuzi. "Zhuzi! Do you have anything else to say?"
Zhuzi glanced at Qin Huairu, who looked pitifully at him. His heart softened instantly. He closed his eyes and shouted, "I stole Xu Damao’s chicken! Haven't I already compensated for it? What more do you want?"
Seeing Zhuzi's nonchalant attitude only infuriated Director Wang further. "Do you think stealing chickens is something to be proud of? What more do you want? As a chef, you actually stole a chicken! This tarnishes our entire street’s reputation!"
