Qin Huai Ru hadn't expected that even Sha Zhu knew about this.
"Don't talk nonsense. Where would my family have chicken to eat?" Qin Huai Ru naturally denied it vehemently. If Xu Da Mao found out about this, he would definitely make her family pay with his nature.
"I not only know, I also know where Bang Geng and his two sisters ate it. The chicken feathers are still scattered on the ground. Bang Geng went to the canteen to steal soy sauce that day, Xu Da Mao saw it too. He just didn't expect that Bang Geng was stealing soy sauce to eat chicken." He Yu Zhu smiled.
"This is really not true." Qin Huai Ru was still worried that He Yu Zhu was tricking her.
He Yu Zhu snorted: "Whether it's true or not doesn't concern me. It wasn't my chicken anyway."
He Yu Zhu turned and walked towards Yang Xuan's house.
Qin Huai Ru's hand extended out, suspended in mid-air. Before she could react, He Yu Zhu had already walked into Yang Xuan's house.
He Yu Zhu's obvious estrangement was naturally noticeable to Qin Huai Ru.
"Mom, I saw Sha Zhu carrying two lunch boxes just now, did you get them?" Bang Geng happily greeted them, thinking they had meat again today.
What He Yu Zhu brought back wasn't really leftovers. In this era, there were no leftovers on the dining table. Don't look at the factory leaders who are polite and courteous in front of others, they are anything but elegant when eating. When there are no higher-ranking leaders around, they even use their rice bowls to clean up the dishes.
He Yu Zhu directly scoops food into his lunch box while serving, even if the factory leaders knew, they wouldn't say anything. It's normal for cooks to do this.
Moreover, the factory leaders often eat small stoves, they are afraid that the cooks will go out and gossip, so they can't stop the cooks from taking advantage of them.
He Yu Zhu's cooking skills are outstanding, and they also need He Yu Zhu's help. Therefore, everyone maintains a tacit understanding.
"Mom, where are the lunch boxes? Why didn't you ask Sha Zhu for them?" Bang Geng took the lunch boxes in He Yu Zhu's hands for granted, because he had already grown accustomed to it. They were all full of meat!
Qin Huai Ru didn't know how to explain to Bang Geng: "Those are other people's things, if they don't want to give them, can you still snatch them?"
Bang Geng immediately glared at He Yu Zhu's house with gnashing teeth, as if He Yu Zhu had snatched their meat.
Bang Geng, Xiao Dang, and Huai Hua always treated He Yu Zhu's things as their own. Bang Geng would often go to He Yu Zhu's house to "take" things.
Qin Huai Ru not only knew about this, but even when He Yu Zhu mentioned it, she would laugh and say, "It's not your thing, my children wouldn't take it." Meaning, it's an honor to take things from you, Sha Zhu.
When He Yu Zhu walked into Yang Xuan's house, Yang Xuan was cooking at home.
"Hey! Sha Zhu, did the widow Qin not take your lunch boxes today?" Yang Xuan glanced at the door.
"She wanted to." He Yu Zhu wasn't too happy.
"Didn't you used to be happy about it?" Yang Xuan laughed.
Zeng Wen Fang rolled her eyes at Yang Xuan: "Don't bring up the past."
He Yu Zhu didn't mind Yang Xuan making fun of him: "I was really too stupid in the past. I was so kind and helped their whole family. As a result, the whole family really treated me like a fool. The dishes I brought back, even Yu Shui rarely got to eat a few bites, they were all gobbled up by their whole family. Look at Jia Zhang Shi, she's getting fatter and fatter! I really lived for nothing for thirty years."
"Hurry up and get Teacher Ran. Your IQ needs to be paired with someone smarter. Otherwise, your children will be just as stupid as you in the future." Yang Xuan said.
Zeng Wen Fang couldn't help but laugh, giving Yang Xuan a pat on the buttocks: "Stinky boy, what are you talking about!"
"I want to. I've met Teacher Ran a few times, she's really good-looking, well-mannered, and obviously an intellectual. I just feel like there's a bit of a gap between us. Can I really date Teacher Ran?" He Yu Zhu became a little insecure when talking about Teacher Ran.
Teacher Ran's conditions were indeed a bit too high for He Yu Zhu.
Yang Xuan also felt that He Yu Zhu was a bit out of his league for Teacher Ran, but Teacher Ran's family situation was different in this era.
"Didn't I tell you before? Teacher Ran's family background is not good. Otherwise, why would there be a chance for you? First, find out about Teacher Ran's parents. You have to try to get to know them first." Yang Xuan said.
"I've already checked out Teacher Ran's parents, they are teachers at Yucai Middle School." He Yu Zhu said.
"Do they have any hobbies? Like playing chess, fishing, etc." Yang Xuan asked.
"I don't know that." He Yu Zhu shook his head.
"Then go and find out." Yang Xuan said.
He Yu Zhu had dinner at Yang Xuan's house and walked back home, but as soon as he reached the courtyard, he saw that the door to his house was wide open.
He usually doesn't lock his door when going out, he just latches the door hanger.
Seeing the door wide open, He Yu Zhu had a bad feeling and quickly walked into the house.
Sure enough, the house was turned upside down. The bedding and clothes were thrown everywhere, as if it had been raided.
"Who is it! Who turned my house into this mess?" He Yu Zhu roared.
Yang Xuan heard the noise and went out, and when he reached the courtyard, he found many people standing in the courtyard.
"Did you lose anything?" Yi Zhong Hai's voice rang out.
"I did. Someone took the half-can of oil and the half-bag of flour from my house. They also stole the dozens of dollars I kept under my pillow." He Yu Zhu said dejectedly.
"Are you sure?" Yi Zhong Hai asked.
"How could I be wrong? The half-can of oil was stolen with the oil can. I just bought the oil, all the oil tickets are gone. Now it's good, I'll have no oil to cook with in the future." He Yu Zhu said.
Yang Xuan walked over and found that only Qin Huai Ru was present from the Qin family, and she was helping He Yu Zhu tidy up the items in his house.
But Bang Geng, who usually loves to watch the show, was not there.
Yang Xuan said, "This is a thief. When I came back from the courtyard to get water after work, Sha Zhu's door was still latched."
He Yu Zhu said, "When I entered the house just now, the door was open. It must have been stolen during this time."
Yang Xuan said, "Actually, it's not difficult to find the thief. At this time, no outsider would dare to come to our courtyard to steal. It must be an insider!"
"Yes, I was eating and digesting in the courtyard. I didn't see any strangers come in." Yan Bu Gui said.
"Since the thief stole Sha Zhu's oil can, it should be easy to recognize?" Yang Xuan said.
Qin Huai Ru was immediately a little panicked and quickly said, "Many of the oil cans are the same."
He Yu Zhu immediately said, "Mine is a little different. I bumped a dent in the rim. I can recognize it at a glance."
"Then it's simple, search everyone's houses! If we find it, we'll know who stole it!" Yang Xuan said.
