Courtyard House: Drunk and tipsy, the whole courtyard exposed at the start.

Banggeng, craving food, ran to Liu Guangqi's house next door and stole half a roast chicken. Liu Guangqi had specially traded it with Zhang Dabiao to supplement You Hongjuan's nutrition, but couldn't get an old hen to make soup.

During the day, Liu Guangqi and You Hongjuan went to work. When they came back, the roast chicken was gone.

The gravy on the stick's mouth had been wiped off, but there was still that red oil from roasted chicken on its cuffs—

Without saying a word, he grabbed the stick and went to the Jia family to seek justice.

Qin Huairu naturally sided with her own child, saying that he hadn't stolen anything, but of all the roast chickens, only Zhang Dabiao had them; Liu Guangqi had managed to get one back.

As for the claim that Zhang Dabiao gave the Jia family a roast chicken, that's impossible.

When Jia Dongxu returned, he saw Liu Guangqi bullying his orphan and widow in front of his house. Naturally, he was furious and kicked Liu Guangqi.

When Guang Tian Guangfu saw his elder brother being beaten, he rushed forward without saying a word and beat Jia Dongxu severely. Liu Guangfu also slapped Bang Geng several times.

Qin Huairu was crying and wailing there, and Sha Zhu, who had returned, naturally went to help. Although he didn't hit the three Liu brothers, he was hit a few times by Jia Dongxu and the three Liu brothers in the chaos.

So Sha Zhu got carried away and beat up Jia Dongxu and Liu Guangqi.

When Yan Jiecheng returned and saw this scene, he naturally joined the battle to fight Sha Zhu, and then—

Zhang Dabiao's half-eaten roast chicken sparked the third war among the entire college (of young people)...

It was Zhang Dabiao who rushed back to the middle and subdued the various groups of people.

He also accidentally took a few punches.

Finally, an elderly man named Liu Pangpang convened a hospital-wide meeting to mediate the matter.

Once the matter was clarified, everyone understood.

Banggeng steals a chicken, Liu Guangqi confronts the Jia family, Qin Huairu denies it, Jia Dongxu returns thinking his wife and children have been bullied and takes action, Liu Guangqi is beaten, the three Liu brothers retaliate by beating Jia Dongxu and Banggeng, Qin Huairu asks Shazhu for help, Shazhu is accidentally injured and goes on a rampage, Yan Jiecheng returns and goes to help the Liu family, finally Zhang Dabiao comes on stage and holds everyone down.

That's the gist of the matter. If it was a case of a thief stealing a chicken, then the Jia family is in the wrong.

If it weren't for Bang Geng stealing the chicken, and Jia Dongxu's misunderstanding leading to all this, then the Jia family would still be in the wrong.

Silly Pillar...

That's a complete idiot, why are you getting involved?

It can only be considered an accidental injury. At that time, Jia Dongxu and the three Liu brothers were fighting fiercely. What could be done about being accidentally injured?

And since you fought back, it was considered a mutual fight. According to the rules of our compound, each of you should bear your own medical expenses.

Sha Zhu was speechless—[I just got beaten up for nothing?]

As for Yan Jiecheng, he went up to help Liu Guangqi; that's because they have a good relationship.

Zhang Dabiao stepped forward to break up the fight, and that's what you call good. Look, the other guy got punched a few times, but he didn't say a word.

So this time, Shazhu has once again suffered an undeserved misfortune.

Ultimately, the key point came down to whether the "stick-shaped" design was a form of swindling.

Qin Huairu, naturally, adopted that pitiful look once again.

"Our Bang Geng would never steal chickens; our Bang Geng is a good boy."

Unfortunately, Bang Geng already has a criminal record, so nobody believes him.

Yi Zhonghai chimed in, "Guangqi, it's just half a chicken. Your family isn't short of that. There's no need to make such a big deal out of it."

"Just tell me how much it costs. I'll make up the difference. It's inappropriate for the whole hospital to start a fight over half a chicken. You're both an official and the president of the Youth Mutual Aid Association."

Liu Guangqi was also frustrated. He had only wanted to confront the Jia family and get to the bottom of things.

But I didn't expect Jia Dongxu to kick someone right away!

Has Jia Dongxu gone mad?

Although Yi Zhonghai's words were unpleasant, he wasn't wrong. The newly appointed president of the Youth Mutual Aid Association got into a fight... and it was a group fight, with several members involved...

What the hell is this youth mutual aid association for?

Does the chairman have any authority anymore?

Moreover, because of that "usury" incident, he recently received a title of model public security officer and an annual outstanding worker award from the factory, so he was promoted to a level 4 clerk, a proper administrative level 22 cadre, with a salary of 56 yuan a month.

Sending the neighbor's child to the police station for half a roast chicken that costs only a dollar or two isn't a very respectable thing to do.

He hesitated.

Money isn't a big deal, but if you accept Yi Zhonghai's money, then you've been beaten up for nothing.

But if things escalate, what will Director Wang think? What will the factory think?

And the articles of association were submitted for filing the day before yesterday, and a fight broke out today?

Should this youth mutual aid association continue operating?

Zhang Dabiao shook his head: "You said half a chicken was stolen, but the Jia family says it wasn't stolen."

"Both sides have their own version of events. Since we can't find out the truth, let's report it to the police."

"What's there to hesitate about? One is one, two is two, and it's all just a bowl of cold food..."

I almost got the channel wrong again.

"Don't call the police!"

"cannot!"

Those who stepped in to stop them were naturally Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family. They could easily tell that it was definitely stolen by Bang Geng.

Yi Zhonghai's financial contribution was also intended to minimize the impact of the incident, since Bang Geng was nominally his godson, practically family.

But you should put it more nicely. For example, regardless of who did it, for the sake of unity, Yi Zhonghai will cover Liu Guangqi's losses...

Liu Guangqi and the others probably felt a little better and thought they could just bear it and it would pass.

But he had to provoke Liu Guangqi with his words, and Zhang Dabiao was also there; he was the vice president of the Youth Mutual Aid Association.

He couldn't stand it.

"Old Liu, you can't report this to the police. It's not a big deal. How many times have we troubled the neighborhood committee and the police station? You report everything to the police and the neighborhood committee. What are you doing here, acting like a big shot?"

After Yi Zhonghai said that, Liu Pangpang was put on the defensive.

Reporting it would make me look incompetent.

If we don't report it, why should our own son suffer this injustice? This isn't just about a few dollars!

Seeing that he was starting to hesitate, Zhang Dabiao spoke up directly.

"Master Liu, there's been a fight or something among the young people in the yard. It's a minor matter, so it's perfectly fine for you to mediate."

"But stealing is illegal! That falls under the jurisdiction of the police station!"

"Since no one admits it, let's just hand it over to the police station to investigate. Let the professionals do what they're good at."

Upon hearing this, Fatty Liu thought, "That makes sense!"

Guangqi and Zhang Dabiao had explained to him in detail what civil and criminal matters were last time, and he still remembered it.

So he put down his teacup and slapped his thigh.

"Da Biao is right! Da Mao, you have a bicycle, go report it to the police!"

Why not ask Yan Jiecheng, who is closest to the gate, to go?

This guy almost got shot by the police last time because he didn't speak clearly!

I dare not let him report it to the police again.

"Yes, sir!"

As Xu Damao spoke, he pushed the factory's official bicycle, a 28-inch model, out of the factory.

Qin Huairu grabbed her arm, her chest rubbing against Xu Damao's arm, making Xu Damao afraid to struggle.

"Qin Huairu, let go! Didn't you say you wouldn't concern yourself with the Jia family's affairs?"

"Let go! Let go!"

Actually, it was Xu Damao who refused to let go and was going along with Qin Huairu's strength!

"Xu Damao, you bastard, let go!" Sha Zhu couldn't stand it anymore and stood up, pointing at Xu Damao and shouting.

[You scoundrel, how dare you take advantage of Sister Qin?!]

Xu Damao laughed while feeling wronged: "Silly Zhu, look, I didn't move at all. It was Qin Huairu who held me back. I didn't dare to move at all."

"Everyone, believe me, it really wasn't our son who did it!"

Zhang Dabiao shook his head and stood up abruptly: "Damn, you haven't even wiped the grease from the roasted chicken off your sleeves. Do you think we're blind?"

"If you won't go, I will. They're always causing trouble. If you lock him up for another ten days or half a month, he'll behave."

"Zhang Dabiao! You can't go!"

"Da Biao, wait a minute!"

"--Wow--"

Finally, Bang Geng couldn't withstand the pressure and burst into tears to admit it.

"I don't want to go to the police station!"

"I stole it, but that's because—"

"I'm hungry!"
