Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

After He Yuzhu said this, both parties in the dispute looked serious, and it was obvious that neither of them wanted to break down the talks.

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong immediately acted as a peacemaker and said with a smile: "Zhu Zi is right. If both sides don't back down, there is no way to solve the problem. I hope everyone will give me some face and back down!"

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, the scene fell into deathly silence. It was obvious that neither side was willing to give in first. After all, whoever gave in first would be at a disadvantage.

He Yuzhu deliberately raised his wrist, revealing the Shanghai watch on it, and said pretentiously:

"It's six fifty, and there's only an hour left before work. If you don't hurry up, you'll have to wait until after get off work to continue this conversation."

A hint of envy flashed in Liu Haizhong's eyes. He thought that He Yuzhu's posture of raising his hand to look at the watch was so handsome. He secretly decided in his heart that he should also buy a watch as soon as possible.

He Yuzhu, a middle-aged uncle, owns a watch, so I, a middle-aged uncle, must also wear a watch, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

Lu Tiezhu said in a deep voice: "It seems that both parties have not yet made up their minds, so let's continue the discussion when we come back in the evening!"

He Yuzhu immediately echoed, "Yes, after all, after breakfast, we still have to continue to build our motherland. We can't let your little thing delay the construction of the country."

Aunt Zhang said casually, "Let's talk about it tonight. We're not in a hurry anyway."

"You are not anxious, but I am. Today is the final deadline. If I don't get the letter of apology, Yan Jiecheng will really be sentenced."

Although Yan Bugui was extremely anxious, he pretended to be generous and said, "I don't want to delay everyone's evening time because of our personal affairs. Let's solve it now!"

"For the sake of the old man, I will take a step back and give each family five eggs and five kilograms of rice, plus fifty cents as compensation. That should be fine, right?"

Aunt Zhang was surprised and said, "What? Fifty cents? You're giving alms to a beggar. It must be nine dollars and fifty cents."

Yan Bugui said angrily: "Mr. Zhang, don't go too far. I have already taken the initiative to give in, but you are still asking for too much."

Aunt Zhang retorted: "You gave in, but didn't I give in? I reduced the price from 10 yuan to 9.5 yuan."

Yan Bugui suppressed his anger and said, "Okay, I'll add another ten cents, sixty cents, no more."

"Then I'll reduce it by another 1 cent, to 9.40 dollars. It can't be any less."

Aunt Zhang was also a tough character. If Yan Bugui added one cent, she would subtract one cent. If Yan Bugui added one point, she would subtract one point. Yan Bugui was so angry that he would jump up and down.

After arguing for a long time, Aunt Zhang said impatiently: "Five dollars, this is my last bottom line. If you don't agree, we can break up."

"Yes, if the money is less than five dollars, we will never sign the letter of understanding."

As soon as Aunt Zhang finished speaking, others came to support her.

Liu Haizhong said with a smile: "I also think that five dollars is the most reasonable amount of compensation."

Seeing this, Yan Bugui could only nod reluctantly.

The matter was settled and everyone had a lighthearted look on their faces.

Qin Huairu said with a bitter face: "Uncles and aunts, I really have no money, can I owe it to you first?"

Everyone knew the character of the Jia family, so naturally they didn't want her to owe them anything.

Xu Damao said servilely: "Qin Huairu, if you have no money, you can borrow from your brother Hai!"

"Ha ha!"

As soon as Xu Damao finished speaking, he was immediately greeted with a burst of laughter.

"Qin Huairu, the big fool is right. Your brother Hai earns 99 yuan a month. He is very rich. A few dozen yuan is just a drop in the bucket for him."

Yi Zhonghai was furious. "Xu Damao, if you keep talking nonsense, I will cut you into pieces even if it costs me my life."

Xu Damao wanted to retort immediately, but when he met Yi Zhonghai's falcon-like eyes, he shuddered involuntarily and pretended to be calm:

"Yi Zhonghai, I just made a joke, why are you so excited?"

Yi Zhonghai said coldly: "Xu Damao, some jokes cannot be made, be careful of the consequences."

Lou Xiao'e said coldly: "Yi Zhonghai, who are you trying to scare? Can you kill my Damao?"

Yi Zhonghai said with disdain: "I won't argue with a woman like you."

Lou Xiao'e yelled, "What's wrong with being a woman? At least it's better than a hypocrite like you!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face turned gloomy, and he shot his hawk-like, creepy eyes at Xu Damao again.

Xu Damao was frightened by Yi Zhonghai's eyes. He couldn't help but pull Lou Xiao'e's sleeve and whispered, "Ezi, forget it!"

Seeing this, He Yuzhu said with disdain, "Coward, you were frightened by a look, you're not even as brave as a woman."

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e also showed a look of contempt, which deeply hurt Xu Damao's self-esteem.

Xu Damao was furious, his face instantly turned as black as ink. At the same time, he secretly cursed himself for being so useless as to be frightened by just a look from Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai without Shazhu is like a tiger without teeth. Why should I be afraid of him?

Xu Damao was about to say something harsh to save his face, but Qin Huairu spoke first.

"Master, can you lend me another sixty yuan?"

Perhaps to avoid suspicion, Yi Zhonghai directly refused and said, "I don't have any money!"

Xu Damao's eyes lit up, and he instantly found an excuse to fight back. He said with a sly smile, "Qin Huairu, your brother Hai is unwilling to lend you money, but your brother Damao can lend you money as long as you are willing to use your sewing machine as collateral."

But as soon as Xu Damao finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai pounced on him like a hungry tiger and swung his sandbag-sized fist at Xu Damao's face.

"what!"

Yi Zhonghai's sudden attack startled everyone.

Xu Damao was stunned by Yi Zhonghai's sudden attack. By the time he reacted, he had already been hit by five punches. Xu Damao's eyes turned red instantly and he fought back desperately.

Although Xu Damao is tall and young, his health has been ruined due to long-term promiscuity.

Although Yi Zhonghai is older, he is strong and sturdy, and he has been doing physical work for a long time, so he is simply not comparable to Xu Damao.

In addition, Yi Zhonghai seized the initiative, so he kept pressing Xu Damao and made him scream in pain.

When Lou Xiao'e saw Xu Damao was at a disadvantage, she immediately stepped forward to help and grabbed Yi Zhonghai's hair.

Yi Zhonghai felt pain and pushed Lou Xiao'e five meters away.

Lou Xiao'e wanted to go forward to help, but was stopped by Li Guifang.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu whispered to Liu Haizhong, "Uncle, we can't make a big deal out of this, otherwise the street director Fang will have a problem with us."

"Uncle, you first hold Yi Zhonghai in the name of breaking up the fight, let Xu Damao throw a few punches to vent his anger, and then I will take action to subdue Xu Damao."

"This way, neither side will suffer any loss, and they won't think of calling the police, so the matter can be resolved from a big matter to a small one."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong nodded excitedly.
