Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Xu Damao yelled, "Comrade Liang Ladi, you can't call the police!"

Liang Ladi: "Who are you? How do you know my name is Liang Ladi?"

He Yuzhu: "Big fool, why are you here?"

Xu Damao was immediately confused by the two people's questions. After a long while, he stammered:

"Comrade Liang... Comrade Liang Ladi, we work in the same factory. I'm a projectionist at the steel mill, and I heard my colleagues mention you!"

"As for why I'm here? I was on my way home from get off work and just happened to pass by here."

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao with a half-smile, as if to say, "Do you think I will believe it?"

From the moment Xu Damao appeared, He Yuzhu concluded that this matter must have been done by Xu Damao, who wanted to play the hero and save the beauty and win Liang Ladi's heart.

Facing He Yuzhu's probing eyes, Xu Damao panicked and pretended to be calm:

"He Yuzhu, why are you hitting someone again? Can you not be so rude and hit someone just because you disagree with something?"

He Yuzhu said coldly: "Big fool, I beat up these three hooligans who molested women, do you have any objection?"

Xu Damao was speechless for a moment, then he said with a fake smile: "So those three are hooligans, they really deserve to be beaten!"

Liang Ladi looked at Xu Damao suspiciously and said in a deep voice, "Comrade, why are you stopping me from calling the police?"

Xu Damao said sincerely, "Comrade Liang Ladi, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't ask you to call the police because it was for your own good."

"These three people are obviously repeat offenders. If you call the police, they will definitely retaliate against you when they get out of prison!"

"I just heard you say that you are a widow with four children. It would be too easy for them to take revenge on you with a family like yours."

When Liang Ladi heard this, her pupils changed drastically and her face showed panic.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu said coldly: "Comrade Liang Ladi, don't listen to the big fool's alarmist words. These three people molested women in broad daylight, which constitutes the crime of hooliganism. Even if they are not shot, they will be imprisoned for 10 to 20 years."

"In ten or twenty years, your children will have grown up. Do you still need to be afraid of them?"

Note: In this era, hooliganism is considered a serious crime, and the sentence could easily be 10 to 20 years. Especially during crackdowns, you could be shot if you were not careful.

When Fat Monk and his two companions heard that they might be sentenced to death, they were immediately scared to death.

"Aunt, I beg you, please forgive us this time, we won't dare to do it again."

"Auntie, we were just confused for a moment. Please be kind and let us go! I have an 80-year-old mother and a 3-year-old child. They all need my care. I can't go to jail, let alone get shot!"

Xu Damao quickly echoed, "Comrade Liang Ladi, no one is perfect, so forgive them when you can. They have elderly parents and young children to take care of, so please be kind and let them go this time!"

Seeing Liang Ladi's expression relax and about to nod in agreement, He Yuzhu immediately yelled, "Xu Damao, you are speaking for these three hooligans like this, are you guys in the same group?"

Xu Damao trembled all over and stammered, "Silly Zhu, don't talk nonsense. I don't even know them, how could I be in the same group with them?"

Liang Ladi stared at Xu Damao with murderous eyes and asked coldly, "Are you Xu Damao?"

Xu Damao asked doubtfully, "I am indeed Xu Damao, Comrade Liang Ladi, do you know me?"

Liang Ladi gnashed her teeth and said, "Although I didn't know you before, I have heard of you. Didn't you make a bet with Zhao Jieba that you would take me down within a month?"

As Liang Ladi said this, she kicked Xu Damao in the crotch.

"what!"

Following a scream, Xu Damao fell to the ground, holding his crotch, his body curled up like a cooked shrimp.

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao's miserable condition and couldn't help but gasp.

"This woman is so fucking cruel, I have to stay away from her!"

He Yuzhu involuntarily took a few steps away from Liang Ladi and pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Comrade Liang Ladi, why did you hit Xu Damao?"

Liang Ladi said angrily: "This Xu Damao is a piece of shit. These three hooligans must have been hired by Xu Damao to act out a play. He wanted to play a hero saving a beautiful girl for me and make me feel grateful to him."

He Yuzhu pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why are you so sure?"

Liang Ladi said indignantly, "Because of me, he heard the rumor that Xu Damao and Zhao Jieba were making a bet, and I was the one they bet on. If Xu Damao could defeat me within one move, Zhao Jieba would lose fifty yuan to Xu Damao, and vice versa."

When Xu Damao heard this, his face turned pale and he wished he could cut Zhao Jieba into pieces.

Xu Damao has now determined that the person who leaked the information must be Zhao Jieba.

Firstly, Zhao Jieba was afraid of losing, so he leaked the information to make him fail. Not only would he not have to lose money to him, but he could win 50 yuan from him. He had a definite motive for committing the crime.

Secondly, he and Zhao Jieba were the only ones who knew about the bet, so it was impossible for him to leak the information on his own initiative. The only person who leaked the information could be Zhao Jieba.

Xu Damao certainly didn't want to admit such an immoral thing, so he said stiffly, "Liang Ladi, there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense, or I will sue you for defamation."

Liang Ladi was furious. She raised her leg and kicked Xu Damao again, cursing, "Xu Damao, you bastard, you dare to do it but not take responsibility for it. You are not a man?"

Xu Damao said in a muffled voice: "Am I a man? My wife knows it, so there's no need for me to explain it to you, right?"

Liang Ladi instantly became even more angry and raised her foot to kick again, but He Yuzhu stopped her and said with a sullen face:

"Comrade Liang Ladi, there's no need to waste time talking to him. Call the police now. When the police arrive, they'll know everything."

When several people heard this, their faces changed drastically.

Fat Monk cried, "Auntie, please don't call the police. I'll tell you everything. It was this Xu Damao who asked us to tease you."

The thin monk quickly agreed, "Yes, it was Xu Damao who hired us. He gave us five yuan each and asked us to accompany him in this play."

Xu Damao knew that it was pointless to deny it, so he simply admitted, "Comrade Liang Ladi, I admit defeat. As long as you don't call the police, I will agree to any conditions."

He Yuzhu said in a deep voice: "Comrade Liang Ladi, these people are not good people. I suggest you call the police!"

Upon hearing this, Fat Monk and his two companions actually kowtowed to Liang Ladi and begged for mercy.

Xu Damao looked at He Yuzhu with anger on his face and said sternly: "He Yuzhu, after all, we grew up together in the same courtyard. Do you really want to force me to death?"

He Yuzhu said calmly: "Xu Damao, when did you learn Yi Zhonghai's moral kidnapping trick?"

"Am I forcing you? You are the one who is looking for death, you bastard. You are not satisfied with having a virtuous wife at home, and you are famous for being a philanderer. What a piece of shit!"
