Chapter 227 Putting the blame on someone else (55)

When I heard Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi rushing in and saying that I had embezzled the money for the food,
Yan Bugui was immediately confused.

He really didn't expect that these two little bastards would stab him at such a critical moment. Now some things are hard to explain.

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Damao and the other man finished speaking, Liu Haizhong immediately started yelling,

"Okay, Old Yan, you are stingy, but you are stingy only with your own family, and it has nothing to do with us neighbors.
But I really didn't expect it.

You are getting worse and worse. You even dare to skimp on the money that Lao Yi and Jia Dongxu used to hold a welcoming party for Zhang's wife.
This is everyone's stuff, just tell me what you are going to do with it!"

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, Jia Zhang also started to yell,

"Good you Yan Bugui,
I didn't expect that you always claim to be a cultured person, looking down on this and that, but in the end you turn out to be such a guy. You are such a piece of shit.

I would say that you should not only spit out the money you ate, but also pay double the amount.
Otherwise we will never forgive you."

As for other neighbors,

When Liu Haizhong said that Yan Bugui had embezzled his things, he was already very angry.
Now I heard that Jia Zhang asked him to compensate her.
Seeing that they could have another free meal, the neighbors also started to make a fuss and asked Yan Bugui to speak up.

Seeing the neighbors asking Yan Bugui for compensation, Jia Zhang immediately snorted with complacency.
That's just like looking down on others.

When the neighbors were sitting at the table and yelling, He Yuzhu ignored them and just acted as the sixth one.

Adhering to the principle of making a fortune in silence, he picked up the braised pork and pig's trotters on the table with chopsticks and put them into his bowl, the bowl of the deaf old lady, He Yushui, and Li Qingshan.
At the same time, he did not forget to whisper to the two little guys,

"Stop watching the fun and eat quickly!"

I watched my brother pick up meat for himself with chopsticks, and soon he had a full bowl.
He Yushui and Li Qingshan's eyes lit up.
He nodded silently, picked up the chopsticks and started eating in silence.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai first looked at the neighbors who were very excited, and then looked at Yan Bugui who had an extremely ugly expression.
Then he slammed the table.
"All right!
What's the point of you arguing like this?

We can't just listen to Damao and Guangqi's one-sided words. We still have to listen to Old Yan's explanation.
Let's see if he didn't embezzle everyone's food money.

If he really embezzled everyone's food money, it's not too late for us to ask him for compensation.

If they didn't embezzle it, then where did all the remaining pork go? We'll have to talk it over when the time comes."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai, the one who made the biggest move, slammed the table, and what he said made a lot of sense,

The neighbors were naturally willing to give him this face.
"Yes, yes, yes, Lao Yi is right. We can't just listen to the two children's one-sided words. We also have to listen to what Lao Yan says.

Old Yan, please tell me quickly, did you embezzle everyone's food money? "

First, I heard Yi Zhonghai mention the pork he had hidden.

Seeing that the neighbors had become clear-headed after his reminder, Jia Zhang immediately became anxious, so he tried to confuse the public and fish in troubled waters.
“What else is there to ask?

There's something wrong with the pork belly in the pot and the bowl. It's definitely not 5 pounds. How else could it be that he didn't embezzle the money for the food?"

Yan Bugui was caught off guard by Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi's backstab, and his head was completely confused, so he didn't react when Jia Zhangshi spoke for the first time.
But when Jia Zhang jumped out again, she immediately ran into Yan Bugui's gun.

He stretched out his hand and angrily retorted.

"Mrs. Zhang, you still have the nerve to ask me why half of the pork belly is missing today. Don't you have any idea?
Now you are framing me here, how dare you do that?"

Seeing that Yan Bugui, a gentleman, actually started swearing, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were stunned for a moment.
Then I realized that what happened today was definitely related to Jia Zhang.

So they asked Yan Bugui to explain in detail.

Seeing that the situation had finally returned to what he had imagined, Yan Bugui immediately and excitedly told everyone about Jia Zhang's cutting meat to make dumplings.
He looked so passionate, as if the injustice that had been buried for many years had finally been cleared.

After everyone learned from Yan Bugui about Jia Zhang's operation today, Yi Yizhonghai felt that Jia Zhang was completely slapping himself in the face.

So he directly scolded with a dark face,
"Mrs. Zhang, you are going too far.

This is what we discussed when we left yesterday. Dongxu and I will pay for this welcoming banquet for you.

How can you go back on your word? This is outrageous."

At this time, the neighbors also remembered that today's meal was said to be Jia Zhang's welcoming banquet, but in fact it was the reward they promised Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu for going with them to pick up Jia Zhang.

As a result, this old woman has no moral ethics and dares to go back on her word. What's the difference between this and withholding one's wages?
How can I keep the neighbors from getting angry?
"Mrs. Zhang, this is really too much.

Don't you think about the fact that it was so hot yesterday and so many of us went to the smoking cessation center to pick you up? It was such a grand ceremony and we gave you such a great honor.
Let those smokers who come out of the smoking cessation center with you be envious.

Ok!

At the last minute, you actually sang this to us."

"That's right, Sister Zhang. If we had known this would happen, wouldn't we have just stayed at home and rested? We finally have a day off and we have to go through all this trouble. Are we bored or what?"

……

Hearing the neighbors start to criticize Jia Zhang in unison, Yan Bugui naturally would not miss this opportunity.
"Of course. If I hadn't gone with Lao Yi and the others to pick you up yesterday, we would have definitely been there when Zhuzi and the others were picking grapes, and we would have been able to eat more.
It's not like today.

Not only did I not get to eat the grapes, but you also wrongly accused me."

But Jia Zhang was not a pushover either. She did not show any weakness when her neighbors were talking about her.
When Yan Bugui spoke, he started to respond sharply.
"I stayed in the smoking cessation center for more than half a year. Others left one after another, but I was the last one.

How do I know whether you came to pick me up to make me proud or to laugh at me?

The way you talk makes it seem like I want you to come pick me up.

Don't you see how much Dongxu earns every month? In addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, he also has to save money to marry a wife. How dare you blackmail him for a good meal?
It's so fucking shameless.

I cut some meat to make dumplings, so what? My family paid for it.
Shouldn’t you leave some for yourself?”
