Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

At this time, Lou Xiao'e heard the noise and ran over from the backyard. When she saw Xu Damao who was beaten into a stupid shape, she immediately stopped.

"He Yuzhu, what right do you have to hit someone? Even if my Damao did something wrong, you shouldn't have hit him so hard, right? I'll report you to the police right away."

At this time, the old man knew that the time had come to highlight his status, so he stood up and said.

"Lou Xiao'e, we don't allow people to call the police in our compound. If we do, we won't be able to be evaluated as advanced members of the compound at the end of the year. Then, no one will get any benefits from the street. Who will be responsible for this?

We should solve our own problems. Although Damao started this, you are right. Shazhu was a little too harsh. How about this? I will let Shazhu pay Xu Damao five dollars, and we will let this go."

When Sha Zhu heard that he had to compensate Xu Damao, he refused to do it. However, when he saw the look the old man gave him, he stopped talking. He knew that Old Yitou would definitely not let him suffer any loss.

Lou Xiao'e was still hoping that someone would speak up for her family. After all, there were many people watching Xu Damao being beaten just now. But when she looked around, she saw that there were many people watching, but no one came to help. Only then did she understand why Zhao Shanhe and Chen Xueru always told her not to get too close to the people in the yard, and Xu Damao also told her every day that there were no good people in the yard.

Without saying anything more to these beasts, she gritted her teeth, half-carried Xu Damao and walked out of the courtyard. She had to go to the hospital first to see how badly her man was injured. If it was minor, everything would be fine. If it was serious, she would let Sha Zhu remember that her name was Lou Xiao'e.

When Yan Bugui saw Lou Xiao'e walking out of the courtyard with a look of resentment on her face, he knew that something terrible had happened. It had not been long since the incident with Xu Wude. If the incidents of sack-slapping or beating with clubs happened again in the courtyard, the three of them might have to say goodbye to the throne.

Thinking of this, he quickly said to Liu Haizhong.

"Second uncle, you have to take responsibility for what happened today. Sha Zhu beat someone up like that, so he only paid five dollars. Do you think the Xu family is short of five dollars? Don't forget that Guang Qi's incident happened not long ago."

Before Liu Haizhong could react to Yan Bugui's words, Yi Zhonghai interrupted him.

"Xu Damao was the one who started this. So many people were watching. He deserved to be beaten. Even if Lou Xiaoe called the police, they would have to reason with them when they arrived, right?

Besides, we didn't have no punishment. Didn't we make Sha Zhu pay five dollars? Don't you think everyone has any objections? Let's just leave it at that."

Yan Bugui saw that Yi Zhonghai was going to have the final say again, and knew that the other party had won over a lot of people in the courtyard recently. He knew that his own people were powerless to resist, so he kept silent. Sha Zhu also had an arrogant look on his face. He had beaten him to his heart's content today. People like Xu Damao should be unable to get out of bed for a few days.

Lou Xiao'e sent Xu Damao to the hospital for a doctor's examination. She then called the Lou family's old house. After Lou Bancheng answered the phone, Lou Xiao'e spoke in tears.

"Dad, Damao was beaten by someone. The assailant was a resident in our courtyard. The several uncles in charge of the courtyard where I live have all turned their attention to Shichahai. Instead of helping us punish the assailant, they are even speaking for the other party. Do you want to intervene in this matter?"

Although Lou Bancheng didn't want to get involved in such trivial matters, he couldn't bear to beat or scold his own daughter, so how could he let a few peasants bully her? After comforting Lou Xiao'e, he asked his servants to find Xu Wude. It would be better for him to deal with this matter. If he took action himself, it would easily complicate things.

When Xu Wude learned that Xu Damao was beaten into the hospital, he took Gao Xiaojuan to take a look. Seeing that his son was beaten so badly, he thought to himself that the lesson he taught the people in the hospital last time did not seem to be profound enough. This time, he must not let Sha Zhu, the beater, go no matter what.

He asked Gao Xiaojuan and Lou Xiaoe to accompany Xu Damao, while he went out to find a few friends he usually drank with, and broke into the courtyard with hammers, wooden sticks and other tools.

"Where's Shazhu? Get out here. What did my Damao do to provoke you that made you use such harsh force? I don't think you want to have this arm anymore."

The third uncle in the front yard saw so many people coming with weapons in their hands and didn't dare to step forward to stop them. It would be fine if Peng Yimin let him fight with the wind, but he would never do such a thing as a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Fortunately, these two men still remembered their responsibilities in the front yard. When they saw this group of people entering the Chuihua Gate, Yan Bugui hurriedly asked Jiefang to call the police, while Peng Yimin asked his eldest son Peng Aiguo to go to the street office to call for help.

Xu Wude led this group of people into the yard and first smashed all the windows of Sha Zhu's house, then broke into the house and captured Sha Zhu. Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to play dead, but when he saw that there was going to be bloodshed, he had to bite the bullet and come out.

"Wood, isn't it normal for two young people to fight and quarrel? Even if there is something unpleasant, we can just solve it in the yard. You brought outsiders to the yard to smash and rob. Does Xu Damao not plan to live in this yard in the future?"

This statement has both soft and hard meanings, and it depends on how the other party understands it.

Xu Wude was so angry when he saw this hypocrite. Last time, because of the sack incident, he was forced out of the courtyard by this old bastard and two other uncles. This time, he was being morally blackmailed and threatened again. He would not be merciful again.

Pointing at Yi Zhonghai, he said to a few friends.

"This old guy is also in the same group. Beat him up first."

The friends that Xu Wood brought were all temporary workers in the cinema. To put it bluntly, they were all hooligans on the street. The author is not making this up. In those days, it was impossible to work in a cinema without knowing a few people on the street.

The guys hit him hard, and after a few blows, Yi Zhonghai became obedient. He had to be obedient, it was too painful...

When Liu Haizhong heard the commotion in the middle yard, he wanted to bring Guangqi over to stop it, but when he saw Lao Yi's miserable appearance, he quickly shrank back. When Xu Wude saw that all those who dared to make trouble in the yard had been dealt with, he spoke to Sha Zhu.

"Silly Zhu, Lao Yi said that you and Damao were just playing around, so why don't I play around with you today? Tell me, do you want to break your arm or your leg? As an elder, I have to be generous and let you choose. Do you think Uncle Xu is good enough to you?"

Sha Zhu was no longer so arrogant at this moment. When he saw the things in the hands of the people surrounding him, he knew that he would be broken bones if hit by them. He was just about to beg for mercy when he heard a familiar voice coming from the backyard.

"Who dares to touch my grandson? Ask me first."

As one of the people who knew the old lady's background, Xu Wude was fed up with this old guy who loved to take advantage of his age, but he also knew that this deaf old lady was not someone he could afford to offend. If he wanted to touch her, he could only let Lou Bancheng do it.
