Siheyuan: Crossing the two worlds, if you don't obey, you will be a beast

The two of them were at a stalemate, and the atmosphere became tense. At this moment, Qin Huairu stood up.

Qin Huairu looked at the two people who were on edge and said softly, "Dongyu, Second Uncle, stop arguing. This matter will not be good for anyone in the end. In my opinion, it is better to let my mother apologize to you, Dongyu, and let this matter be over. Everyone can go home and rest early."

When Jia Zhang heard that she was asked to apologize, she immediately got furious: "Apologize? Why should I apologize? You slutty fox, are you scared? He beat me and damaged my clothes for helping an outsider. I'm lucky enough that I didn't ask him to compensate me! I'll beat you to death when I get home..."

Just when Jia Zhang was about to continue scolding and was about to attack, Jia Dongxu beside her hurriedly stopped his mother. After all, he knew that it might be the best way for his wife to show weakness in this way. Otherwise, as Li Dongyu said, if the police station was called, it would be even more troublesome. Now he didn't care whether his mother was beaten or not. He just wanted to get this matter over with as soon as possible.

Then everyone started to donate money. After all, the eldest uncle donated 30 yuan, the second uncle donated 20 yuan, and the third uncle donated 10 yuan, which made 60 yuan already. Just now, Sha Zhu was planning to donate 10 yuan under the instigation of Yi Zhonghai, so the total amount was 70 yuan. If you add the donations of 3 yuan and 5 yuan from people in the compound, we will soon have another 150 yuan.

By then he would take the fifty and go to the small house he rented to meet his lover, and he could enjoy the treatment like an emperor again, so he pulled his mother, Jia Zhang, and asked Qin Huai to do the same and make good use of her advantages.

Qin Huairu frowned and said, "Mom, please stop being so stubborn. You were the first to start the fight, and you won't lose anything by apologizing. Do you want Li Dongyu to call the police station before you give up?"

Jia Zhang was still reluctant, but after Qin Huairu's repeated persuasion, she was really afraid that she would be arrested and educated for her feudal superstition, so she finally said to Li Dongyu reluctantly: "I'm sorry."

Li Dongyu saw what was happening in front of him and didn't say anything. He just sat there quietly, watching Qin Huairu perform to her heart's content. He noticed the expressions on the faces of the people around him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This Qin Huairu is really an acting school! She has such a deep affection for her mother-in-law. If I didn't know the inside story, I'm afraid even I would be moved." It can be seen that she poured her sincere emotions into this performance, otherwise how could she resonate with so many people in the yard?

Some people even began to persuade Li Dongyu to give up. Facing such a scene, Li Dongyu just felt it was extremely ridiculous.

He sneered, then said with a look of contempt: "Qin Huairu, you are indeed good at acting, but I'm sorry, I, Li Dongyu, will not be fooled. She, Jia Zhang, must compensate me for the sixty-eight yuan for that dress, not a penny less! Otherwise, there is no room for negotiation. If you are unwilling to pay the money, don't blame me for disregarding the relationship of our long-term neighbors and go to the police station to report the case immediately! I just want to ask, are you, the Jia family, going to pay for this money or not?" His voice was cold and firm, with no room for negotiation.

Seeing that Li Dongyu refused to give in even to a poor young woman like Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai said anxiously, "Li Dongyu, don't go too far! Sixty-eight yuan, isn't that an exorbitant price?"

Li Dongyu glared at him and said, "This dress of mine is new. I bought it at the supply and marketing cooperative for 68 yuan. I have the receipt. How about I show it to you? The Jia family can't deny their debt!" After saying that, Li Dongyu actually took out the receipt for the clothes from his pocket and showed it to everyone.

Seeing this situation, Liu Haizhong stepped forward to act as a mediator: "Dongyu, we are all neighbors, there is no need to make such a big deal. How about this, let Jia Zhang compensate you fifty yuan. After all, you have worn this dress for three days, it can be considered a little old. This way, the matter will be over, what do you think?"

Li Dongyu thought about it for a while, thinking to himself that Liu Haizhong was now playing the role of a peacemaker, and the solution he proposed was relatively fair and reasonable. So he said, "Okay, since you have spoken, I will accept this proposal for your sake. However, the Jia family must pay me immediately!"

Why was Li Dongyu so straightforward? It was because it was the best way to do it. After all, he bought the clothes for 68 yuan. But everyone has sold second-hand things. There is a rule in the second-hand trading market: when new goods come out of the cabinet, the value is halved! In other words, no matter how much you spent on the goods before, as long as you buy them and want to sell them, no matter when, even if it is only for a second, it is considered the value of second-hand goods, and the value will be halved. This is the rule of the second-hand industry.

So Li Dongyu knew that even if he had only worn this piece of clothing for three days, it could be considered second-hand goods. If you calculate it, fifty yuan was already a fair price given by a conscientious person. So Li Dongyu thought that this was enough. After all, he wouldn't lose anything, right?

When Jia Zhang heard that she had to pay so much money, she felt heartbroken, but she was afraid that Li Dongyu would really call the police. Finally, after repeated persuasion from everyone, she reluctantly took out 50 yuan and handed it to Li Dongyu. However, what was ridiculous was that this compensation was actually taken from the money donated by the three uncles just now to pay Li Dongyu. Li Dongyu, who witnessed this scene, also felt very helpless.

Li Dongyu took the money, counted it, and nodded with satisfaction, "Forget it this time, but you, the Jia family, better not mess with me again in the future!" After that, he turned and left the middle courtyard and went back to the backyard.
