I am doing well in the Siheyuan

After persuading Jia Zhang, Xu Damao turned and walked towards the backyard.

The Liu family's home was bustling with activity at this time, with all kinds of bowls and plates piled up inside and outside the house. Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were looking for possible treasures among them.

Liu Haizhong's health was no longer as good as before, so he could only sit aside and sulk.

"Don't look for it, there's nothing valuable in here!"

Xu Damao walked up to the few people and said something firmly.

"Xu Damao, you can't just say that. Just because your family doesn't have it doesn't mean mine doesn't have it, right?"

"Yes, my grandfather used to like collecting antiques. I still remember that he hid a green porcelain plate in the cabinet!"

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu naturally did not believe Xu Damao's words, and tried hard to recall past events to verify them.

"Don't even think about it. You two were still running around the yard in your crotchless pants at that time."

Xu Damao glanced at the almost new plates and bowls, and curled his lips.

He walked over and sat down next to Liu Haizhong, chatting about the past seemingly casually.

"I just wanted to move out my old-fashioned bed, but do you know what I found?"

"Just say it. I don't know what you found out."

Liu Hai's mind was still on his two sons, and he moved impatiently.

"I remember that our things were bought by Ye Ming at a high price more than ten years ago."

Xu Damao kept complaining with a look of deep sorrow on his face.

"Ye Ming? Yes, he has collected a lot of old things in the yard over the years."

Hearing this name, Liu Haizhong suddenly remembered something and asked loudly to the second aunt:

"Has Ye Ming ever come to our house to collect things?"

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu stopped what they were doing upon hearing this, but the second aunt didn't understand what was going on and wiped her hands on her apron twice.

"He has been here, right? Have you forgotten? We gave it to him personally. Ye Ming paid a high price for old items. Do you still remember selling the rhino horn cup to him?"

Second Aunt had a good memory and recalled that this was indeed the case.

"I thought he was being stupid!"

Liu Haizhong frowned and thought for a moment, finally figuring out what was going on. The father and his two sons looked at each other.

"Come on, come on, check the newspaper to see if there is anything similar to ours. If you read it, you will know how much money Ye Ming has defrauded from our family."

Seeing that the situation of the Liu family was similar to his own, Xu Damao felt inexplicably better.

He spread out the newspaper in his hand for them to read.

Liu Haizhong snatched the newspaper.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu came closer to take a closer look, but Second Aunt couldn't even see it even when she stood on tiptoe.

"This cup is also made of rhino horn, but mine is bigger."

"It's really unfair. It's over 200,000 yuan!"

"So, the rhino horn cup we sold to Ye Ming is more valuable?"

The Liu family, father and son, looked at each other in amazement.

"Mom, do you remember how much that rhino horn cup sold for?"

Liu Guangtian raised his head and asked the second aunt.

"I think it's twenty dollars?"

The second aunt said uncertainly that it happened so long ago that her memory was a little fuzzy.

You sold your own treasure for just twenty dollars?

There was a pain in the center of my bangs like a knife.

At first he thought he had gotten a good deal, but now that he knows the real price of the cup, no one can remain calm.

"Dad, are you okay?"

Liu Fugui noticed something unusual in his bangs and quickly asked with concern.

"No, it's okay, pour me a glass of water."

Liu Haizhong replied while breathing heavily.

Only after he took the cup of water handed to him by the second aunt did he recover a little.

"No, we can't just let this go!"

Liu Haitian was so indignant that he couldn't help but curse.

Afterwards, Xu Damao came to Yan's house again.

"Third uncle!"

Seeing Yan Bugui drinking alone at the table, Xu Damao greeted him.

"Is something wrong?"

Yan Bugui noticed that Xu Damao was about to pick up the peanuts on the plate, so he moved the plate in front of himself.

"Uncle, are there any antiques in your home that were taken away by Ye Ming?"

Faced with transactions involving tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, Xu Damao was not worried that Yan Bugui would stay out of it.

After all, after so many years, who would remember clearly which treasures from their family fell into Ye Ming's pocket?

"Even if there was, it was something that both parties were willing to do at the time..."

Yan Bugui seemed quite helpless, but deep down he was longing for those possible treasures.

"The situation is different. Ye Ming has been planning a big game over the years. He had anticipated what would happen today!"

Seeing that Yan Bugui seemed to be retreating, Xu Damao continued to persuade and induce him.

“I didn’t want to believe it, but the facts made it impossible for us not to believe it.

I just got the news..."

While twisting peanuts, Xu Damao told Yan Bugui in detail what had happened in the courtyard.

Yan Bugui's eyes flashed. After hearing what Xu Damao said, he began to think that he might be able to take back his "heirloom" from Ye Ming.

"Well, it seems that it is time to hold a meeting of the whole institute."

Yan Bugui agreed to Xu Damao's request.

In the evening, the courtyard was bustling with activity. Yi Zhonghai was cracking melon seeds beside the deaf old lady, looking dazed.

Thinking of Xu Damao's invitation to him, Yi Zhonghai hesitated.

"What's going on here?"

The deaf old lady had sharp eyes and saw through Yi Zhonghai's absent-mindedness at a glance.

"Old lady, this antique is very valuable now. People in the whole capital are crazy about it. People in the courtyard want me to do justice."

"Do you want to host?"

"have not decided yet."

"Don't get involved. There is no such thing as absolute justice in the world, let alone the concept of presiding over it."

The deaf old lady understood what they were thinking, but she also knew that Ye Ming was not an easy person to deal with.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't go!"

Although Yi Zhonghai did not attend, the plenary meeting was held as scheduled under the organization of Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.

In the spacious front yard, dozens of people were standing or sitting.

Xu Damao, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui sat around a square table with several enamel tea cups on it.

Jia Zhang was sitting next to the square table, with her son Banggeng next to her.

Because of this major incident that happened in the hospital, Banggeng's sense of justice was instantly ignited.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Today, we are calling for a meeting of the entire hospital to deal with the antique scam in our hospital. Ye Ming used only five or ten yuan to scam us of antiques worth tens or even millions of yuan. This time, we all need to ask Ye Ming for an explanation!"

After everyone arrived, Yan Bugui stood up and spoke.

"Yes! The rhino horn cup in my house was worth hundreds of thousands as reported in the newspaper, but Ye Ming only spent 20 yuan to buy it. Even if we report it to the police, we will be in the right. This time, the whole courtyard will go together. We have more people and Ye Ming won't dare to do anything reckless!"

Liu Haizhong immediately seconded the motion.
