Siheyuan: Selling antiques? Only making 28,000 RMB from 30,000 RMB

At the meeting, everyone expressed their own opinions and suggestions. Some people suggested setting up a special investigation team, some suggested that the factory security department strengthen supervision, and some suggested giving Sha Zhu an explanation so that he would not be hurt too much because of this incident.

After listening to everyone's opinions, Lou Xiao'e pondered in her heart. She knew that this issue not only concerned Xu Damao and Sha Zhu, but also the interests and image of the entire compound. She decided to go to Sha Zhu in person to listen to his ideas.

So, Lou Xiao'e walked to Sha Zhu's door and knocked gently. Sha Zhu opened the door and saw that it was Lou Xiao'e. He was a little surprised and asked, "Sister Xiao'e, what's the matter?"

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Shazhu, I heard about what happened between you and Xu Damao. I want to talk to you."

Sha Zhu nodded and motioned Lou Xiao'e to come in. Lou Xiao'e walked into the room and sat on the chair opposite Sha Zhu. She looked at Sha Zhu and said, "Sha Zhu, I know this may be a blow to you, but I believe you must have your reasons."

Sha Zhu was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Sister Xiao'e, I don't know what to do. I was framed by Xu Damao, I really didn't do anything wrong."

Lou Xiao'e was moved after hearing Sha Zhu's words. She knew that Sha Zhu was not someone who would lie easily, and he had always behaved honestly in the compound. She decided to believe him and help him get justice.

"Shazhu, I believe you." Lou Xiao'e said, "I will help you investigate this matter and make the truth known."

After listening to Lou Xiao'e's words, Sha Zhu looked at her gratefully, tears flashing in his eyes. He knew how important it was to have someone who could believe in him at this critical moment.

Thanks to Lou Xiao'e's efforts, the matter was quickly resolved. After investigation, Sha Zhu's innocence was confirmed, and Xu Damao was forced to admit his mistakes. He had to apologize to Sha Zhu and the compound and accept the corresponding punishment.

Sha Zhu stood there, looking embarrassed, feeling like a traveler who had gone through a hard time, full of guilt. He waved his hands hastily, hoping to stop everyone's misunderstanding, and said, "No, no, no, I made all this up, I made all this up, I apologize to everyone!"

His words caused a stir in the conference room, and everyone showed surprised expressions. The old man frowned, thinking that all this was too unbelievable. Why would Sha Zhu make up such a thing? Was it to cover up something?

The uncle looked at Sha Zhu and said calmly, "Sha Zhu, are you sure this is not true?"

Sha Zhu shook his head repeatedly. He looked at the old man with sincerity in his eyes. "It's absolutely false. I don't know why Xu Damao said that, but I can assure you that I have never stolen a chicken, let alone done anything else bad."

After hearing Sha Zhu's words, everyone fell silent. People present didn't know who to believe, Xu Damao or Sha Zhu?

Qin Huairu walked up to Sha Zhu and said softly, "Sha Zhu, don't worry, I believe you. We will definitely find out the truth."

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Sha Zhu was filled with gratitude. He knew that with Qin Huairu by his side to support him, he would not feel lonely and helpless.

The old man frowned and thought for a while, then decided to put the issue aside for the time being. He said, "Shazhu, I believe you, but we need to investigate this issue further. I hope you can cooperate with us."

Sha Zhu nodded and said that he would fully cooperate with the investigation. He knew that only by finding out the truth could everything return to normal.

As a result, a tense and intense investigation was launched in the compound. The Security Department strengthened supervision and conducted a comprehensive investigation of the situation in the compound, hoping to find the truth of the matter.

During the investigation, Xu Damao was asked to give a confession, in which he admitted that he had made up the whole story in order to frame Sha Zhu. He said: "I don't know why I did such a thing, maybe because Sha Zhu has always been more popular than me, I was a little jealous."

Everyone was shocked to hear Xu Damao's confession. They had never thought that there was such an ugly motive behind this incident.

Everyone expressed indignation and condemnation of Xu Damao's behavior, and also apologized to Sha Zhu. They decided to impose severe sanctions on Xu Damao to serve as a warning to others and maintain the normal order of the compound.

Sha Zhu was regarded as an innocent victim by everyone, and he received everyone's sympathy and support. Qin Huairu always stood by his side, giving him endless encouragement and help.

Sha Zhu stood in the middle of the yard, holding a broom in his hand, facing the devastated yard, his heart full of bitterness and grievance. He thought the matter was over, but he didn't expect the old man to punish him like this.

An old man stood aside, looking at Sha Zhu seriously. He said, "Sha Zhu, don't even think about having a moment of leisure this month. You have to sweep the yard well. Remember, every day. Don't be lazy."

Sha Zhu nodded. He knew that he had to obey the orders of the uncle now, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

So Sha Zhu began the long and boring yard cleaning work. He took the broom and cleaned the fallen leaves and garbage in the yard step by step. Every movement seemed particularly clumsy and heavy.

The sunlight shone through the treetops onto his body, and he was sweating profusely, but Sha Zhu did not stop. He wanted to prove his innocence and sincerity with practical actions.

Qin Huairu felt distressed when she saw Sha Zhu's look. She walked to Sha Zhu's side and comforted him softly, "Sha Zhu, don't be too sad. I believe things will be over soon."

After hearing Qin Huairu's words, Sha Zhu's eyes flashed with gratitude and warmth. He knew that he was not alone and that Qin Huairu was always by his side.

On a sunny afternoon, Sha Zhu was sweeping the yard. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure. It was Xu Damao. When Xu Damao saw Sha Zhu, a trace of guilt and shame flashed in his eyes. He walked to Sha Zhu and whispered, "Sha Zhu, I'm sorry. I hurt you."

Sha Zhu stopped the broom in his hand and looked at Xu Damao. He didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly. He knew that Xu Damao had realized his mistake, which was enough for him.

After a month of hard work, Sha Zhu finally finished cleaning the yard. The old man looked at the neat and clean yard and nodded with satisfaction. He said, "Sha Zhu, you did a good job. This month's hard work has not been in vain."

After hearing the praise from the old man, Sha Zhu felt extremely relieved. He knew that he had finally been recognized and respected.

The atmosphere in the compound gradually improved, and the conflict between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao was also eased. Everyone hoped that they could live in harmony in the future and jointly build a harmonious and livable compound.

Qin Huairu stood in the small kitchen, holding a worn-out spatula, facing the porridge in the pot, feeling helpless and anxious. She knew that the family was not well-off, and every meal had to be carefully calculated. A child of this age was growing up, and his appetite was amazing, which often made Qin Huairu embarrassed.

"Boy, it's time to eat!" Qin Huairu shouted loudly, scooped the porridge into a bowl, and then brought it to the table.

When the boy heard the sound of eating, he hurried over. He ate the porridge in big mouthfuls, looking very hungry.

"Mom, hasn't this month's money been paid yet? I want to eat meat!" the boy asked as he ate, his eyes gleaming with greed.

Qin Huairu smiled bitterly and shook her head. She knew that the situation at home was not optimistic and the salary could not satisfy the appetite of the boy.

"Wait a minute, Mom will go see if there's anything else to eat." Qin Huairu sighed, walked into the kitchen, and began to rummage through the refrigerator for ingredients.

She opened the refrigerator, which was almost empty, with only some leftovers and a few vegetables. Qin Huairu frowned, her heart filled with helplessness and anxiety.

"Mom, I'm hungry, why don't you hurry up!" the boy urged loudly in the living room.

When Qin Huairu heard her son's voice, she hurried out with a few vegetables in her hand.

"Boy, eat some vegetables to fill your stomach first." Qin Huairu put the vegetables in her hand on the table and said to the boy.

The boy looked at the vegetables on the table, a hint of dissatisfaction and disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he knew that he couldn't be too picky about food, so he could only accept it reluctantly.

"Okay, I'll eat something first." The boy said dejectedly and started eating the vegetables on the table.

Qin Huairu looked at her son eating vegetables, feeling full of guilt and helplessness. She knew she couldn't give her son a better life, but she could only do her best, hoping that her son would understand and sympathize.

"Brother Yuzhu, good morning!" A familiar greeting came from Xiao Liu, the neighbor from the courtyard next door.

Zhou Dong responded with a smile: "Morning, Xiao Liu!"

Xiao Liu is a talkative and cheerful young man who has a good relationship with Zhou Dong. They often drink and chat together, sharing the ups and downs of life.

"What are your plans for today?" Xiao Liu asked, helping to dig the soil.

Zhou Dong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "I'm going to the vegetable market today. I heard that the price of vegetables has increased recently."

"Oh, there's really nothing we can do about it." Xiao Liu sighed, "But the vegetables we grow ourselves are still the most delicious."

The two young men chatted while busying themselves in the vegetable garden. Although life was hard, they had each other in this courtyard, and shared the common efforts and expectations.

At noon, Zhou Dong and Xiao Liu started a fire in the yard and prepared to cook a simple lunch. They put the fresh vegetables they picked into the pot, added some local eggs, and fried a dish that was delicious.
