Siheyuan: Picked up by a goddess in 48 years
Chapter 99: Don't Lose Face
Soon, except for the deaf old lady living in the back house, every household sent out representatives, or the whole family gathered in the front yard.
This is the old rule. Before the manager shows up, all instructions from the street office are issued in the front yard.
After the steward appeared, this custom remained.
The incident happened suddenly, so there was no preparation at all, except for the third uncle Yan Bugui who was prepared. The second uncle Liu Haizhong was totally confused.
"Old Yi, why are you ringing the gong to call everyone out?" Liu Haizhong looked dissatisfied. After all, he was the second uncle in charge of the courtyard, and he was not even informed in advance when something happened.
"The incident happened suddenly, so we had to gather everyone together urgently." Yi Zhonghai explained as he stood on the steps in front of the hall, looking around the crowd.
He didn't see Xu Damao and couldn't help frowning.
"Old Xu, where is your Xu Damao?"
Xu Fugui's heart skipped a beat. Was he coming for his son?
"Old Yi, if you have something to say, why are you looking for my Damao?"
Yi Zhonghai glanced at the impatience of the others and nodded immediately, intending to make things clear first.
"Everyone, He Yuzhu from our yard was put in a sack by Xu Damao and beaten badly. Take a look." Yi Zhonghai said and called out to the people behind him.
"Silly Zhu, come here and show us."
Everyone looked behind Yi Zhonghai and saw the dusty Sha Zhu dragging his hips and moving forward step by step with a slightly distorted expression.
Although it was dark, a lamp was urgently lit.
Sha Zhu walked to the front, and everyone saw his miserable condition with the help of the light. They were shocked and couldn't help but condemn Xu Damao.
"This is too cruel. Fortunately, Zhu has thick skin and strong flesh."
"That's right, we have to apologize to Zhuzi."
Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Fugui and said, "Old Xu, you decide what to do about this."
Xu Fugui hurriedly said: "This... I have to ask Damao. If he really did it, we will definitely apologize to Zhuzi."
At this time, Sha Zhu said: "I don't want him to apologize, I want him to have a taste of being put in a sack."
"Who wants to put a sack on me?"
At this moment, Xu Damao's shout was heard from the Chuihua Gate, and it sounded like a villain was getting ahead of himself.
"Xu Damao! You're back. Tell me why you beat up Sha Zhu!" Yi Zhonghai looked at the real person and immediately scolded him.
Xu Damao looked at everyone, a hint of surprise flashed across his face as if he didn't understand the reason.
"I hit Shazhu? Why would I hit him?" Xu Damao asked in a puzzled manner.
"You're still pretending!"
Sha Zhu pointed at Xu Damao angrily, but accidentally stretched the wound and immediately grimaced in pain.
"Why am I pretending? Shazhu, stop slandering me!" Xu Damao retorted unyieldingly.
The two of them immediately started arguing with each other, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai shouted, "Stop arguing! Xu Damao, you said you didn't hit Sha Zhu, then what's the matter with his injuries?"
Xu Damao rolled his eyes and said defensively: "Maybe he got the injury himself and wants to put the blame on me!"
Sha Zhu was so angry that he was shaking all over.
“You…you’re talking nonsense!”
Yi Zhonghai pondered for a moment and said, "Well, since you both have your own opinions, let's wait until tomorrow to investigate clearly. Xu Damao, you are not allowed to leave the yard tomorrow."
Xu Damao secretly groaned in his heart, knowing that no good would come of being targeted by Yi Zhonghai, but he still agreed on the surface.
Xu Fugui thought to himself what an idiot, staring straight at Liu Haizhong.
But Liu Haizhong didn't notice it at all.
Seeing this, Xu Fugui had no choice but to speak up himself, saying, "Master, all this fuss is just Shazhu's one-sided words. He said that he has offended enough people on a daily basis. Why do you insist that it is us, Damao?"
"Besides, in the past, when several children in this courtyard were bullied by Shazhu, you, an old man, always advised them to make light of the matter. Why are you targeting my Damao this time?"
"You went to the trouble of calling all of us together for a meeting just for a stupid person. As a senior, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
No matter how dumb Liu Haizhong was, he realized that this was an opportunity to seduce Yi Zhonghai, and he immediately said, "That's right! Old Yi, you always hold a meeting of the whole hospital. Have you ever gotten the consent of me, the second uncle, and Old Yan?"
Yi Zhonghai was stunned by the sudden attack.
"Yes, Lao Yi, you have been very outrageous this time." Yan Bugui also stood up and added a sentence.
He is still capable of playing in a favorable situation.
What the hell!
Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath. He didn't expect to be defeated in this round.
But he was also able to let go, and he knew that he had to lower his posture at this time, so he spoke to everyone in a sincere tone.
"Everyone, I was inconsiderate. I apologize to everyone."
But then...
He turned and looked at Sha Zhu, "However, no matter what, Sha Zhu was injured. If it was really Xu Damao who did it, he must be given an explanation."
Yan Bugui didn't want to offend Yi Zhonghai, so he tried to smooth things over: "Hey, Old Yi, don't blame yourself too much. It's all because of the things in the yard. So, everyone go back and have a rest today, and you can investigate it tomorrow."
"Don't mobilize a large force before things are clear."
The crowd gradually dispersed. Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Damao, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
If this matter is not clarified, not only will Sha Zhubai get beaten up, but he will also lose face as a great man, so...
"Lao Xu, and Xu Damao, please stay for a while." After calling the two men, Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu.
"Zhu Zi, you go back first."
"A large ..."
Yi Zhonghai raised his hand to interrupt, "Go back first, I will give you an explanation tomorrow."
Seeing this, Sha Zhu glared at Xu Damao fiercely and walked back.
He may not listen to others, but he will listen to the words of the uncle. After all, when He Daqing left, the uncle helped him a lot.
The rest of the people dispersed.
But Old Yi kept the Xu father and son, Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong also stayed, in addition to Lu Zhenyuan who had been sitting at the door watching the show.
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai had no intention of avoiding them, and immediately said to Xu Damao: "Xu Damao, don't say that the uncle is biased. If it was really you who did it, you should go and apologize to Zhuzi tomorrow. As the uncle, I can help you to mediate and prevent stupid Zhu from taking revenge on you."
Xu Damao was about to argue, but before he could open his mouth, Yi Zhonghai continued, "If you can plot against Zhuzi once, he can plot against you three times. If something really happens, don't blame me for not warning you first."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fugui looked at his eldest son with an inquiring gaze. He thought that if this was really done by his son, it would be difficult to solve the problem.
After all, that Shazhu is not called that for nothing, and he is definitely not someone who will suffer any loss.
If my son is targeted, something bad might happen.
Not only Xu's father was worried, Xu Damao was also a little scared at this time. Suddenly, he glanced towards the door of Lu's house.
