Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Yan Bugui nodded resignedly, turned around and went home to get the money. At this time, Xu Damao, who was standing at the back of the crowd, lowered his head and whispered a few words in Sun Xiaoyan's ear, and then waited here quietly. Sun Xiaoyan ran back home quickly.

After a while, the third uncle finally opened the door and walked up to Yi Zhonghai with the money in his hand.

"Old Yi, I'll just give the money to you. This is so embarrassing!" said the third uncle dejectedly.

"Don't think too much. Next time, keep your wife's mouth shut. If she says less, everything will be fine!" Yi Zhonghai said in a low voice. He also saved some face for the third uncle.

Yi Zhonghai walked up to Jia Zhangshi and was about to hand the money to her when Xu Damao suddenly stopped him and said, "Uncle, wait a minute!"

At this time, Sun Xiaoyan also came to Xu Damao and handed him a note.

Xu Damao continued, "Uncle, the last time Banggeng stole my chickens, the Jia family wrote an IOU. I have asked for it many times, but they just wouldn't give it to me. Can you please deal with this matter together? The Jia family always does this, so can't you just write an IOU as well?" After saying this, Xu Damao looked at Qin Huairu in the crowd with a provocative look on his face.

"You little beast, don't try to ruin my business. Our family has no money, how can we compensate you?" Jia Zhang cursed angrily.

"Look at this old hag. She's so confident about owing money. People who don't know would think that I owe her family money!" Xu Damao spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Hmph! I just won't pay it back, what can you do to me? If you have the ability, go and borrow it yourself! You can also borrow money and not pay it back." Jia Zhang was provoked by Xu Damao and her emotions suddenly lost control and she spoke without thinking.

When the third uncle heard this, his eyes lit up immediately. He stared at the crumpled five-yuan note in Yi Zhonghai's hand, and quickly thought about whether he could get the money back and write an IOU to the eldest brother of the Jia family. But he was afraid that Jia Zhang would get angry, so the third uncle hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to say a word.

"Uncle, the last matter was handled by you uncles. You still have to take care of this matter today." Xu Damao said to the uncle with a smile.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the people in the yard and felt overwhelmed. Especially this Xu Damao, who was really good at taking advantage of loopholes.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhang, who was like a fighting cock, and his face darkened: "Jia Zhang, don't you want to pay back the Xu family's money? This matter was decided by us uncles. Are you not satisfied?" At the end, Yi Zhonghai's tone became more and more severe.

Qin Huairu, who was hiding in the crowd, saw that something was wrong and came out immediately. She said hastily, "No, uncle. My mother-in-law will pay back the money. She will definitely pay it back." Qin Huairu said as she pulled Jia Zhangshi.

Seeing Qin Huairu like this, the first uncle simply gave her the money and said, "This is the third uncle's apology. Please keep it! If you have any problems in the future, don't let your mother-in-law scold you like this. Do you still want the civilized courtyard?"

"Yes, yes, yes!! I will talk to my mother-in-law about what the uncle said when I get home." Qin Huairu reluctantly took out a dollar and handed it to Xu Damao.

"Where's the IOU? Give me the IOU after you get the money." Qin Huairu asked, holding on to a corner of the banknote.

"It's my fault. I didn't think of it at once. Mainly because I've never seen any return payments from you, so I have no experience." Xu Damao said with a strange expression.

Qin Huairu took the IOU and tore it up.

"Okay, let's all go. This is how it is. Let's all go back." Liu Haizhong called out loudly, and then walked to the backyard first.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the third uncle and the third aunt walked into the house with sullen faces.

"What did I tell you yesterday? I reminded you several times to watch your mouth, but you just didn't listen. Now, I'll pay you five dollars and you'll be happy." The third uncle said in a cold tone.

"I didn't expect that the Jia family would really make a fuss about this. Their family's reputation has become so bad that it has spread all over the place." The third aunt muttered in a low voice.

"What can you think of? Don't you know what kind of person that old hag is? She can make trouble even when she is not right. What's more, she is in the right in this matter!" said the third uncle dissatisfiedly.

"Old man, please stop talking. I know I was wrong. I won't do it again next time!"

"You'd better remember this lesson and don't look for trouble." The third uncle touched his chest and frowned.

"Old man, what's wrong with you?" "What's wrong? I just feel sorry for my five dollars."

Xu Damao took the one dollar and went home happily. Looking at the one dollar in his hand, Xu Damao felt extremely happy.

"Why are you so cheerful? Is it just one dollar?" Sun Xiaoyan joked with a smile.

"If you remove that word 'ma', you will be happy about this for three days. What do you know?" Xu Damao said with a sneer.

"After all, it's just one dollar. What's so strange about it?" Sun Xiaoyan said with a smile.

"None of the families living in this courtyard can get back the money they borrowed from the Jia family! Not to mention the senior gentlemen, what about the Liu family next door? Liu Xiaosan has become a section chief, but the Jia family still hasn't repaid a single cent of the money they owed!" Xu Damao raised his eyebrows as he spoke, with an exaggerated expression.

"Ah? Is the Jia family so difficult to deal with?" Sun Xiaoyan exclaimed in surprise.

"Who said it wasn't! In this courtyard, no one wants to care about the Jia family. From now on, you should just stay at home and take care of the children. You should also pay more attention and never get involved with their family." Xu Damao warned solemnly.

"Don't worry, I understand. That Bang Geng in their family is not a good person either. When the child grows up, he must be kept away from the Jia family."

"That's right. We really need to be more careful about this matter. That guy is a thief." Xu Damao nodded in agreement.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai from the Intermediate Court returned home, he couldn't wait to call Yi Xiaojun over. He lowered his voice and asked carefully, "Xiaojun, did you hear about what happened to that guy across the street at school?"

Yi Xiaojun frowned and muttered unhappily: "Of course I know, it's spread all over the school! I'm even embarrassed to tell others that we live in the same yard." After saying that, he spread out his hands helplessly.

Yi Zhonghai nodded repeatedly, expressing his agreement: "That's right! You did the right thing. Try to stay away from him in the future. That child has many bad habits. Don't let him lead you astray."

At this time, an old lady beside him interrupted and reminded: "Yes, Xiaojun, you should hang out with students with good grades in school and stay away from those bad people."

Yi Xiaojun nodded obediently and said, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I understand. Now, whether in the yard or at school, I no longer play with him, and I will stay away from him in the future."

Yi Zhonghai was very pleased after hearing this. He touched Yi Xiaojun's head lovingly and said gently, "Xiaojun, you are so good. The day after tomorrow is the weekend. If you want to eat something special, just tell your mother and let her buy it for you."
