Siheyuan: I can change size at will

The death of the deaf old lady was undoubtedly a relief for Xu Damao.

The old man who had once brought him endless troubles and constraints finally disappeared from his life.

He no longer had to feel suppressed and constrained by her existence.

"Freedom, I am finally free."

Xu Damao stood outside the courtyard and took a deep breath of fresh air, as if even the air was filled with a sweet scent.

His heart was filled with joy and excitement, as if he had returned to the unrestrained and free days of his youth.

When leaving the courtyard, Xu Damao was still a little nervous, afraid of being discovered by others.

But when he walked out of the courtyard carrying the body of the deaf old lady, he found that there was silence all around him, as if the whole world was making way for him.

The tension and fear in his heart gradually dissipated, replaced by an inexplicable sense of relief and joy.

When Cao Zhengshuang came back to his senses from his shock, it was already late at night.

He didn't expect that the deaf old lady, a prominent figure in the courtyard, could be dealt with so easily by Xu Damao.

He never expected that Xu Damao would do such a cruel thing.

"Xu Damao, you are in my hands now, don't blame me for being rude."

A strong sense of justice surged in Cao Zhengshuang's heart, and he decided to make Xu Damao's crimes public.

So Cao Zhengshuang quietly dug the deaf old lady's body out of the ground and dragged it into the moat.

He knew that in this way, the body of the deaf old lady would soon be discovered, and Xu Damao would receive the punishment he deserved.

"This time, the deaf old lady will definitely be discovered, and then Xu Damao will be finished."

After Cao Zhengshuang dealt with the scene, his heart was filled with anticipation and excitement.

He seemed to have seen the day when Xu Damao would be brought to justice.

The next morning, Xu Damao went to work humming a little tune.

He was in an exceptionally happy mood, as if the whole world was filled with sunshine and hope. At the gate of the courtyard, he ran into Cao Zhengshuang.

Cao Zhengshuang joked, "Xu Damao, you're getting married. People are in high spirits when they are happy. Look, you're almost floating."

Xu Damao was too lazy to fight back against Cao Zhengshuang, he just smiled and said: "Cao Zhengshuang, you will never experience the happiness I have now."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Cao Zhengshuang standing there in a daze.

In the next few days, Xu Damao lived a very happy life.

He seemed to have returned to his younger self, carefree and free.

In the steel rolling mill, Xu Damao's mood seemed to be illuminated by the sunshine, and he became unusually cheerful and enthusiastic.

He greeted everyone he met warmly with a happy smile on his face.

"Xiao Wang, long time no see. You've gained weight recently. It seems that your wife's cooking skills have improved. I'm really enviable." He patted Xiao Wang's shoulder, his tone full of teasing and intimacy.

"Accountant Liu, you look so beautiful today. Have you tried any new cosmetics? Please share your secret with me." He said to Accountant Liu with a smile, his eyes flashing with curiosity and appreciation.

"Xiao Sun, haven't you always wanted to learn how to project movies? Come to me after lunch. I'm free and can teach you step by step." He took the initiative to invite Xiao Sun with a friendly and sincere attitude.

In just one day, Xu Damao seemed to have been reborn, becoming optimistic and cheerful.

His change surprised the people around him and they started talking about it.

"It seems that marriage can really train a person. Look how much better Xu Damao has become now." Someone sighed.

"Yeah, I didn't expect Xu Damao to change so much after getting married. I almost couldn't recognize him." Another person echoed.

However, the good times did not last long.

Three days later, someone found an unusual object while fishing in the moat.

The sun shone on the calm surface of the moat, and the water surface sparkled with golden light, as if foreshadowing that today would be an unusual day.

Suddenly, a terrified cry broke the silence: "Help, help! Something terrible has happened!"

A fisherman came running from the river in a panic, shouting as he ran. His face was pale, and he was obviously frightened by the scene before him.

Soon, the news spread among the crowd like wildfire, and some people quickly went to the police station to report the case.

After receiving the report, the police comrades immediately drove to the scene.

They saw that the riverside was full of people, talking a lot.

A policeman came up and asked about what happened. The fisherman said in a trembling voice: "I was fishing when I caught something heavy. When I pulled it up, I found it was a dead body!"

The police comrades immediately launched an investigation and carefully examined the body.

The medical examiner walked over, carefully examined the body, and said in a deep voice: "This old lady did not drown. She was already dead before she drowned.

You see, there are obvious marks on her neck, she must have been strangled to death and then thrown into the moat."

This discovery shocked all the police officers present.

They didn't expect that this was a murder case, and the murderer was so arrogant as to throw the body into the river after killing someone.

The police comrades immediately launched an investigation into the identity of the deceased and soon found out her identity - a deaf old lady living in the courtyard, a five-guarantee household, who had just married a man named Xu Damao a few days ago.

The policeman realized that this case might be related to Xu Damao, so he immediately went to the steel mill to look for Xu Damao. When Xu Damao heard that the policeman was looking for him, he was shocked, but he still calmed down and went to see the policeman.

"Comrade Xu Damao, we regret to inform you that your wife, the deaf old lady, was found in the moat." The police comrade said seriously.

When Xu Damao heard the news, he was horrified. He had clearly buried the deaf old lady in the wasteland, so how could she appear in the moat again? He was filled with doubts and uneasiness.

The police comrades noticed Xu Damao's abnormal reaction and immediately realized that he might be related to the case.

So they asked Xu Damao to go with them and accept investigation.

Although Xu Damao was nervous, he did not dare to resist and could only follow the police comrade to the police station.

In the police station, Xu Damao faced increasing psychological pressure as he faced interrogation by police comrades.

He knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he decided to tell it all.

He confessed to the police that he had killed the deaf old lady and explained that he had indeed buried her in the wasteland instead of throwing her into the moat.

But the police comrades did not believe his statement because they had found solid evidence proving that he was the murderer.

Because the evidence was conclusive, Xu Damao was quickly taken away by the police to face legal sanctions.

He realized that he could no longer escape this fact and could only accept it silently.

The death of the deaf old lady also brought great shock and reflection to the courtyard.
