Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 27 Subcontracting
"Yes, of course I did. The second uncle has already pinned the blame on me. If I don't speak up, I'm going to get shot."

He Yuzhu opened his mouth with sarcasm, and his eyes were full of mockery when he looked at Liu Haizhong.

"Everyone just heard it. Second Uncle said that my lunch box contains food stolen from the factory. Then open the lunch box and let everyone see what I brought back that our Second Uncle can directly grab!"

He Yuzhu had already found out from Qin Huairu that the lunch box contained fried shredded potatoes, fried cabbage, and two steamed buns.

These were sent over by Lou Xiao'e at noon when she didn't feel like eating. They were all leftovers from last night, and the lunch box was also Xu Damao's.

So when he spoke, he was very confident and not timid at all.

"Second uncle, please open your lunch box and show us what good things Sha Zhu brings back every now and then."

"That's right, Uncle, you can't just talk about it, you have to let me see what it is!"

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, someone in the crowd immediately started shouting.

Everyone in the yard knew that He Yuzhu would sometimes bring back leftovers, but they had never seen what was inside.

Today, He Yuzhu was caught by the second uncle, and they finally knew what this silly Zhu brought back.

"Silly Zhu, you said this yourself, don't blame me for not giving you face!"

Although Liu Haizhong felt that something was wrong, since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to continue.

In order to let everyone in the yard see more clearly, Liu Haizhong opened the net bag and placed the lunch boxes side by side in front of the table. Then he picked up a lunch box and said loudly: "Everyone, look, this is the leftovers that Shazhu told us about..."

As the lunch box was opened, Liu Hai's voice stopped abruptly and his face became embarrassed.

The lunch box contained less than half a box of stir-fried Chinese cabbage, which was obviously without any oil or water.

Everyone in the yard had stretched their necks, waiting to see something good, but now they were looking at each other in bewilderment.

That's it, that's it, that's it?

Isn’t this just the cabbage left over from the big pot in the cafeteria? I thought it was something good.

Liu Haizhong put down the lunch box in his hand awkwardly, and opened the other two without giving up.

Now, everyone in the yard looked at him as if he were a fool.

Two steamed buns, some fried shredded potatoes, some fried cabbage...

It can be said that it is as vegetarian as it can be. Not even a speck of oil can be seen. Is this what Shazhu usually puts in his lunch box?
Zhou Weimin was also a little dumbfounded. He thought Sha Zhu would fall flat on his face, but he didn't expect that the lunch box would be swapped.

No wonder Sha Zhu looked so confident just now.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Qin Huairu. This widow was really not a simple person.

Liu Haizhong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his words became stuttering. He pointed at He Yuzhu and shouted guiltily: "This, this, this... No, Silly Zhu, did you switch the lunch boxes?"

"Fuck! The lunch box has always been in your hand. Even if you are blind, I can't change it!"

He Yuzhu cursed, pointed his finger at Liu Haizhong's nose and continued to curse: "Liu Haizhong, fuck your grandma, I brought some leftovers and you accused me of stealing public food and asked me to hand over my lunch box. Are you from the security department? Or the police? Why don't you go and talk to Director Yang and ask him to let you be the director for two days!" "Zhu Zi, just talk and don't curse. After all, Lao Liu is your elder!"

Yi Zhonghai sat in his seat, gave a neutral reminder, and waited for Liu Haizhong to reap the consequences.

No matter how he tried to persuade Liu Haizhong before, Liu Haizhong just refused to give him face. Now that things have turned out like this, Liu Haizhong has to bear the consequences himself!

After Liu Haizhong got into trouble, he stepped forward to resolve the matter, which also made everyone clearer about who to turn to when encountering problems.

"Shazhu, don't make a fuss. You must have done something wrong. Yes, it must have been the Jia family who switched the food at that time! Zhou Weimin, didn't you see it too? You even had an argument with Shazhu in the front yard. You must have seen what was in the lunch box, right?"

Liu Haizhong was completely confused at this time. He directed his criticism at the Jia family, and then looked at Zhou Weimin for help. It seemed that he was trying to shirk responsibility in a panic.

"You damn Liu Haizhong, I didn't cause you any trouble, but you started talking about our family!"

If Jia Zhangshi had not been held back by Qin Huairu, she would have rushed over and tore Liu Haizhong. Now, after hearing what Liu Haizhong said, she could no longer hold back and started to curse, followed by a burst of sobbing and wailing: "Old Jia, please come back soon, this damn Liu Haizhong is going to kill us orphans and widows! Dongxu, please open your eyes and take a look, your mother, your wife and children are all going to be killed by him, please come and take him away!"

After performing this set of necromancy, everyone in the yard shuddered.

Good man, it’s okay for Old Jia, he has been gone for so many years and I haven’t seen him make a fuss ever.

But Jia Dongxu just left not long ago, and today happens to be the seventh day after his death. I’m afraid he will really be called back!
"No, I was just anxious at that time. I didn't say anything to you now!"

Liu Haizhong's back was already covered in cold sweat. On the one hand, the problem could not be solved, and on the other hand, he was afraid that Jia Dongxu would come to settle the score with him at night.

In a panic, he placed his last hope on Zhou Weimin. As long as Zhou Weimin could come forward and explain everything, there would still be a chance for the situation to turn around.

Zhou Weimin stood out from the crowd, shook his head slightly and told everyone truthfully: "Second Uncle, I did have an argument with Sha Zhu at that time, but I didn't see what he brought in his lunch box at that time."

"Ah, Wei Min, you didn't see it, so what, I, I, I..."

Liu Haizhong was dumbfounded. He didn't expect this to be the case. Wouldn't that be a huge misunderstanding?

At this point, he didn't know how to end it and could only stand there in a daze.

However, he didn't know what to do, but Zhou Weimin knew that he should start with his heart.

After finishing the explanation, he did not step back, but turned sideways to look at the deaf old lady who had been silent.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong had finished speaking, he immediately said loudly: "Second Uncle, this is my fault. I just think that Shazhu's lunch box brought back every day has a bad influence. Everyone has seen what is in the lunch box. It is not too much, but not too little either. It is enough for two people to have a meal in the evening. I don't need to tell you what everyone thought before opening the lunch box. If this continues, I am afraid that people in other courtyards will have ideas about our courtyard. This is the matter. I think you should take care of it, old lady. If it continues, it will be a big deal."

He also wanted to take this opportunity to see how crooked the deaf old lady's butt was.

He didn't believe that the old deaf lady, who was very experienced in her age, would not be able to see the trick in this matter.

At the same time, I don’t want Yi Zhonghai to speak. This old guy must be holding back something bad. If he wants to hold it back, let him hold it back. He won’t die from holding it back!
