Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Sha Zhu had been inside for nearly an hour, and the group of people outside had already become impatient waiting.

Seeing Sha Zhu coming out, Xu Damao stood up from the ground and walked quickly to meet him.

"Brother, what's going on? Can we get our money back?" Several people asked at the same time.

"Let's go back first, this is not the place to talk!" Sha Zhu's face was solemn and he sighed deliberately.

"No, let's talk about it here! We are so anxious." Yu Li obviously couldn't wait any longer and asked.

Sha Zhu glanced at him, said nothing, and walked straight into the store.

The others didn't know what to say, so they just followed him and left.

After walking for a while, Xu Damao felt that something was wrong with the road.

"Brother, aren't we on the way to the restaurant?"

"Let's go to their restaurant. I have so many acquaintances in my restaurant, how can I complain?"

The few of them soon arrived at Yan Jiecheng's hot pot restaurant. By then, the waiters had all gone off work and there was only one person left on duty in the restaurant, so they sent him away.

"Brother Zhuzi, can you speak now?" Yan Jiecheng asked with an apologetic smile.

"I told you not to spread this! This case is still being processed and it's not over yet!

But one thing is certain, you can’t get back that shipload of smuggled TVs.” Sha Zhu stopped talking halfway and stared at a teacup without saying a word.

"Then what about our money?" Yu Li asked hurriedly.

Sha Zhu didn't say anything, but cleared his throat instead.

"Brother! The situation is urgent, please stop keeping us in suspense!" Boss Lin spoke with a crying tone and his calves began to tremble.

"Why am I keeping you in suspense? I've been talking for a long time and you haven't even drooled!" Sha Zhu said unhappily.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's my fault! I'll go pour it right away." Yan Jiecheng hurried to pour tea.

"And then? What happened?"

"You guys are really lucky this time. Even though you can't get the TV back, it's a blessing in disguise that Li Huaide and You Fengxia were caught by the police!"

Sha Zhu took the teacup and looked inside. Huh? There's not even any tea leaves. How stingy!

"Can we get our money back?" The mood of the few people was finally better, and they all had smiles on their faces.

"That's not the case!" Sha Zhu said.

"What is there to be thankful for? What's the point of Li Huaide being dead or alive?" Several people were about to cry. This Sha Zhu's words were so awful.

"Of course we have to be thankful. Can the money of Li Huaide and You Fengxia be returned to you? But it can only be returned in proportion. I guess you will all lose part of it." Sha Zhu finally told everything.

"How much money do they have on hand? How much can they refund?" Boss Wang asked impatiently.

"I don't know about that. Didn't I tell you that the case is still under investigation? The details haven't come out yet."

After finishing the serious business, Sha Zhu picked up the teacup, took a look at it, then shook his head, put it down, and stood up and left.

The few people didn't try to stop him and let Sha Zhu leave.

Seeing that it was still a bit early to go to the restaurant, Sha Zhu went back home.

After entering the house, He Daqing looked at him strangely and asked with a smile: "Why are you back? Why didn't you rest in the store this afternoon?"

Shazhu usually rests in the restaurant at noon and doesn't run around unless he has nothing to do.

"I went to see Weidong to do some things at noon, so I just happened to come back on the way." Sha Zhu pulled out a stool and sat next to He Daqing.

"You went to find Weidong? What do you want to see Weidong about?" He Daqing also found it strange. He had never heard that Sha Zhu had encountered any problem!

"It's not my business. It's Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng's business. They blocked my restaurant at noon today and forced me to go find Weidong to find out what happened."

"What happened to them?"

"They were cheated a while ago, and the whole group of people were defrauded of a lot of money. Let me ask Weidong, can the money be recovered?"

"Don't make things difficult for Weidong. There are a lot of people watching him right now. Don't let him make any mistakes!"

"Don't worry, Weidong has also made contributions to this matter. Qingshan and I felt that there was something fishy going on some time ago, and we notified Weidong to keep an eye on it. This time, the items were seized and the person was arrested. Even this group of people who were cheated are getting anxious." Sha Zhu thought of the bruise on the corner of Xu Damao's mouth and couldn't help laughing.

"Did you and Qingshan go to report the case? Don't tell anyone about this! These deceived people don't know right from wrong at this time. They only think about their own money!" He Daqing was a little shocked and quickly reminded.

"Don't worry, I got it! I won't tell anyone about this. I'm also afraid that they will come over to my store and cause trouble for no reason!"

Half a month later, the matter was finally settled, and the police station notified the victims to get their money back one by one.

But when they arrived at the police station, they found out that everyone had lost more than one-third.

Xu Damao got the least money, but compared with others, he was already very satisfied.

But when he turned around again, Yan Jiecheng, Yu Li and several engineering team bosses were all looking at him.

"Xu Damao, why did you lose so little? Each of us lost so much. Isn't this wrong?"

Staring at these cold and gloomy words, Xu Damao couldn't help but feel his heart beating fast.

"Boss, I'm not as well-off as you are. I only have this much money, is it the same as what you are paying?"

Xu Damao cried out in grievance, but when he saw the red eyes of several people, he realized something was wrong. He quickly seized the opportunity and slipped away.

The news that Yan Jiecheng and his wife and Xu Damao had been deceived soon spread throughout the courtyard.

When the third uncle heard that Yan Jiecheng had paid nearly 10,000 yuan in compensation, he fainted on the spot. In the end, it was the neighbors in the courtyard who called a doctor.

Liu Qingshan didn't pay much attention to this matter. He was busy watching videos these days.

Lou Xiao'e sent them a VCR and several videotapes.

Liu Qingshan called to ask what was going on, but Lou Xiao'e kept it a secret and didn't tell him.

The Liu family has been watching it for two days. It's just a martial arts drama and Liu Qingshan really can't muster any interest in it.

However, the Liu family members were watching with great interest, and Xiao Yuwen even started to imitate them.

"Let me call Sister Xiao'e. What does it mean to send this video recorder to me?" Feng Yu couldn't help but call her directly.

"Sister Xiao'e, why did you ask me to watch the video? And why did you spend money to buy a video recorder?"

"Your Qingshan family is too stingy. It's not that they are short of money, but they don't even have a VCR at home. I just guessed that you didn't have one, so I gave you one as a gift." Lou Xiao'e deliberately didn't say it directly, just wanted to tease Feng Yu.

"My dear sister, please don't talk about the VCR anymore, please talk about the videotape?" Feng Yu was so anxious that she started to speak in a coquettish voice.

"Look at the little henchman next to the villain in the movie. Does he look familiar?"
