Chapter 154: General Assembly (I)
After Liu Haizhong came out of Sha Zhu's house angrily, he went straight to the house of Uncle Yi Zhonghai, explained the matter briefly, and then told Yi Zhonghai that he wanted to hold a meeting of the whole hospital.
Yi Zhonghai had to hold a meeting to discuss this matter. Xu Damao insisted that the chickens from his family were stolen by Sha Zhu, but Sha Zhu could not make the chickens he took back public.
After Liu Haizhong left Yi Zhonghai's house, he went to Yan Bugui's house. Yan Bugui had long wanted to teach Sha Zhu a lesson. Sha Zhu usually didn't give him face. Besides, Sha Zhu never gave his family the lunch box he brought back. Yan Bugui was very envious of that lunch box.
After saying this, Li Shengli returned to his home.
"Shengli, what's wrong?" Li Shengli went out for a short while, and the meal in the house was not finished yet.
"I think it's uncertain. He Yuzhu's lunch box was brought back from the cafeteria. He won't be able to explain it clearly once the meeting starts." Li Shengli sat down and continued to eat his meal.
"Then the reputation of stealing the chicken will be put on He Yuzhu's head?" Han Qiuyun was a little surprised.
"That's right. Xu Damao and He Yuzhu are sworn enemies. If they can get hold of this handle, they will be able to make the most of He Yuzhu." Li Shengli was not surprised. He was used to the love-hate relationship between the two.
After finishing her meal, Old Mrs. Han went to play with the children. Li Shengli also finished his meal quickly, and Han Qiuyun cleared the table.
"Shengli, get ready for the meeting." Yan Jiecheng knocked on the door and shouted from outside.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Li Shengli responded, "Qiuyun, grandma, you guys can just stay at home, I'll go out and take a look."
Li Shengli, along with Yan Jiecheng and other people from the front yard, came to the middle yard. Almost everyone in the middle yard was there, and three old men were sitting at the tables in a calm manner.
"Is everyone here?" Liu Hai waited for a while and saw that no one was coming to the central courtyard, so he stood up and looked around.
"Li Shengli, where is your wife?" he asked when he saw Li Shengli sitting alone at the back with his neck tilted back.
"She's at home taking care of the kids. It's so cold and she has nothing to do here. I didn't ask her to come." Li Shengli sat steadily on the stool without even lifting his butt. "Second uncle, if you have something to say, just say it. It's so cold."
"Hey, what are you talking about? There's a thief in our compound. This is a very important matter." Liu Haizhong looked at Li Shengli with dissatisfaction.
"Also, Li Shengli, come and sit in the front, in front of Sha Zhu." Liu Haizhong pointed at the stool in front of Sha Zhu.
"Why?" Li Shengli looked puzzled. Why were there so many things going on?
"Just because of you, you are a suspect." Liu Haizhong shouted angrily.
Li Shengli was puzzled. Didn’t Lou Xiaoe tell Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong what she said?
"Lou Xiao'e, the chicken under my window was bought by me today. Did you tell them?" Li Shengli stood there and ignored his bangs, just looking at Lou Xiao'e.
"I told them, but they didn't believe me." Lou Xiao'e gave Xu Damao a cold look. Just because of a chicken, the whole hospital was in chaos.
"Uncle, you saw me carrying the chicken back, right?" Li Shengli looked at Yan Bugui again.
"I saw you carrying the chicken back, but I don't know if you bought it." Yan Bugui said calmly. "Okay, I understand." Li Shengli nodded. It seemed that Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong wanted to put the blame of stealing the chicken on themselves and Sha Zhu. Yan Bugui was really not involved in the matter.
Li Shengli will not tolerate these two people. Xu Damao's chicken is not obtained in a legitimate way. If the investigation is thorough, he will definitely be in trouble in the factory.
Li Shengli curled his lips, thinking that these people would never stop. Li Shengli stood up and turned to walk towards the front yard.
"Hey, Li Shengli, where are you going? The meeting is going on now." Liu Haizhong became angry when he saw Li Shengli turn around and leave.
The other two uncles also looked at Li Shengli in surprise. This was the first time someone had been so disrespectful to the three of them.
"Shengli, where are you going?" Yan Jiecheng was surprised and impressed. Other people in the yard also admired Li Shengli's courage.
"I'll go find the police." Li Shengli didn't want to listen to the old men behind him asking questions, so it would be better to just go and call the police.
"Go find the police." Li Shengli said this and prepared to ride his bicycle to the police station.
"What!" Not only Liu Haizhong, but also Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were confused, not to mention the other people sitting there. In the past, such matters were handled by the hospital, so how come someone suddenly appeared and wanted to call the police?
"No one is allowed to go, stop him quickly." Yi Zhonghai was shocked and angry. If this matter was reported to the police, how would Director Wang of the street office view his compound? The things in Sha Zhu's hands could not stand up to scrutiny.
"Jiecheng, stop him quickly." Yan Bugui didn't expect that Li Shengli was unwilling to even explain himself and was going to go to the police directly.
"Guangtian, Guangfu, stop him." Liu Haizhong also hurriedly called out to his two sons. If Li Shengli went to find the police, then he, the second uncle, would be in trouble.
"Ma Jianshe, stop him quickly." Yi Zhonghai also hurried to stop him. This could not break the unspoken rule that the compound's affairs should be resolved by the compound itself.
The four of them hurried forward to stop Li Shengli.
"Li Shengli, what are you doing?" Yi Zhonghai slammed the table and shouted loudly.
"Why are you shouting? Isn't it normal to seek help from the police when you have trouble?" Li Shengli touched his ears with disdain.
"Don't you know that matters of the compound should be resolved within the compound?" Yi Zhonghai continued shouting loudly.
"Don't shout, don't shout. It's not about who's louder is right." Li Shengli was a little impatient. "My purchase ticket is still here. There's only a chicken frame in He Yuzhu's lunch box, and no other parts. This second uncle and Xu Damao insisted that He Yuzhu and I stole the chicken. It would be great if we could go to the police now. They can catch the real chicken thief and clear our name at the same time."
"No." Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, Sha Zhu, Xu Damao and Qin Huairu said in unison.
This left everyone present a little confused. It was easy to understand why the three uncles did not allow them to call the police. Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were the parties involved, and everyone knew about the unspoken rules between Xu Damao the projectionist and Sha Zhu the chef, so they could understand that. But what did Qin Huairu mean?
Qin Huairu then realized that she had accidentally made a sound because she was too worried.
"Shazhu, don't you know where your lunch box came from?" Qin Huairu thought for a moment and said to Shazhu, while looking at him with tears in her eyes.
Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu exchanged glances for a while, as if they had reached some consensus. Sha Zhu had a bit of helplessness on his face, while Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief.
