Siheyuan: I have traveled through time and space and still can’t eat enough?

During the time when Yan Jiekuang was giving advice to Xu Damao, the whole institute meeting was also prepared.

Afraid of being seen having close contact with Xu Damao, Yan Jiekuang waited until Xu Damao was out for a long time before he dared to sneak out of his house.

And the development of things was just as Yan Jiekuang had expected.

As soon as I arrived at the Intermediate Courtyard, I heard Sha Zhu spreading rumors that Xu Damao molested women.

"Last night, Xu Damao got drunk and had a fight with a female comrade outside the steel mill. I am too embarrassed to talk about what happened afterwards."

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Yi Zhonghai said loudly without pausing: "This is a serious style issue. What do you think we should do?"

Sha Zhu, who hated Xu Damao so much, began to incite the crowd: "Bring him to justice. Let's see if this is right or not."

The people in the courtyard were all interested in watching the fun, and Xu Damao was not popular in the courtyard. So everyone agreed with Sha Zhu and clamored to send Xu Damao to the police station.

Looking at Xu Damao on the side, he was sitting quietly with disdain in his eyes.

Xu Damao waited until the neighbors stopped shouting before he stood up and said contemptuously, "Okay, let's call the police! It's a good opportunity for them to clear my name. Who can help me go to the police station?"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he was dumbfounded. Why didn't Xu Damao do what he wanted?

If the police come, I'll be finished. He made all this up. Where can I find a woman who was bullied by Xu Damao?

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu quickly advised Xu Damao: "Are you stupid? If you call the police, you're done for. You might even get shot. Hurry up and apologize in the compound. We're all neighbors. No one will kill you."

When Xu Damao saw Sha Zhu speaking for him, he instantly believed Yan Jiekuang's analysis even more.

He said with a righteous look on his face, "No, I can't bear this injustice for nothing. If any neighbor helps me run an errand, I will give him 50 cents as a reward."

As soon as these words were spoken, a group of young boys quickly stood up and prepared to go to the police station.

But he was stopped by an old man nearby, because he had already noticed that something was fishy, ​​otherwise Sha Zhu would not be so panicked.

"Wait a minute, there's no need to call the police, we can just handle it in the compound."

"Silly Zhu, what's going on? Why don't you tell me now?"

At this time, Sha Zhu didn't dare to hide it anymore. He lowered his head and hummed softly: "I made up this story about Xu Damao. He didn't bully women."

As soon as these words came out, all the neighbors pointed at Sha Zhu and talked about him.

Passerby A: "I used to think Shazhu was a good person, but he was not in his right mind. Why is he like this?"

Passerby B: "Yeah, this is true that you can only know a person's face but not his heart."

Xu Damao listened to the discussions of the people around him and became more confident: "Hurry up, someone help me call the police! I must let Sha Zhu know the consequences of framing me."

"That's enough, Xu Damao. Just talk it out. We are all neighbors. Can't you be more generous?" The old man looked at Xu Damao seriously.

"Besides, if you call the police, how can our courtyard be rated as an advanced courtyard?" Looking at Xu Damao who was angry, the old man could only use the righteousness to pressure him.

Because it was rated as an advanced courtyard, the streets would distribute some daily necessities during the New Year. As long as Xu Damao didn't want to be hated by the whole courtyard, he had to let Sha Zhu go. This method was tried and tested by Yi Zhonghai.

But Yan Jiekuang had told Xu Damao from the beginning that he must report the case to the police, so he did not compromise this time and still insisted on going to the police station.

Now Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to turn his attention to the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady also understood Yi Zhonghai's meaning instantly, and raised her cane to hit Xu Damao: "You little bastard, you dare to harm my grandson, I will beat you to death. If you dare to call the police, I will hang myself at your doorstep."

The deaf old lady's prestige in the courtyard is greater than that of Yi Zhonghai. One reason is that she is too old and a lonely widower. No one dares to get close to her. If something happens to her, no one can afford the responsibility.

Another rumor is that she is not only a relative of a martyr, but also donated shoes to the Red Army during the Anti-Japanese War. So everyone respects her.

Xu Damao saw the deaf old lady stand up and thought that it was enough, so he began to put forward his own demands: "Okay, then I will give the old lady a favor, but Sha Zhu must apologize to me in front of everyone in the hospital and compensate me 100 yuan."

Before Xu Damao could finish, he was interrupted by Sha Zhu: "Grandma, you still want me to apologize to you? This is impossible. Call the police now and see what you can do to me."

Although Sha Zhu said so, how could Yi Zhonghai watch his pensioner go in? He shouted, "Sha Zhu, shut up. Do you think the matter is not serious enough?"

Then he looked at Xu Damao.

"Xu Damao, Shazhu can apologize to you, but he can't possibly compensate you a hundred dollars. You didn't suffer any loss, and we're still neighbors. How can it be wrong to ask him to compensate you so much money?"

But what Yi Zhonghai was thinking in his heart was: Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu will have to provide for my retirement in the future, and their money can only circulate between the two families, how can they possibly give it to you!

When Xu Damao heard that Sha Zhu wanted to apologize to him, he didn't even pay attention to the money behind it.

The two had had countless conflicts since they were young. Every time, it was because of Yi Zhonghai or other reasons. He had never gained the upper hand and was always the bullied party. This time, he finally got the upper hand. Who would care about that little bit of money!

So he quickly agreed: "Okay."

Then he looked at Sha Zhu and said, "Sha Zhu, come here and apologize to me honestly!"

Looking at Xu Damao's smug look, Sha Zhu really wanted to kick him in the face.

But he also knew that if Xu Damao really called the police, the rest of his life would be over. So taking advantage of the excuse given by the old man, Sha Zhu reluctantly walked up to Xu Damao and said "I'm sorry".

This made Xu Damao very excited. Although Sha Zhu's apology was not sincere, this was his first victory ever.

Xu Damao turned his head towards Yan Jiekuang and was about to share his joy with him.

However, one could see a kind of disappointment in Yan Jiekuang's eyes.

After a little thought, Xu Damao understood that this was because he did not ask Sha Zhu for the hundred yuan!

Although he thought of the reason, Xu Damao didn't think much of it: This young man is really young and doesn't know the good of rich women. Is he the kind of person who needs that little money? Just casually looking through his wife's cabinet, the money he found is more than all of Sha Zhu's assets. What he lacks is the feeling of defeating Sha Zhu. Money is not important to me.

Xu Damao had guessed correctly about this matter. Yan Jiekuang was worried about the 100 yuan: "Xu Damao, you prodigal son, this is 100 yuan, don't give it to me! My entire fortune is only 51 yuan and 10 cents. I gave you all the ideas, but you fulfilled the least important request."

In Yan Jiekuang's opinion, Sha Zhu's apology was not worth even one dollar. If he wanted to punish him, he had plenty of ways to do it.

But now that the matter is done, he no longer pays attention to it and turns around and goes home.
