Siheyuan, I became a commercial tycoon in the culinary world

The atmosphere in the yard became increasingly tense, and no one knew how to solve this problem. At this moment, the third uncle, who had been silent, stood up.

"Everyone, stop arguing and listen to me." The third uncle cleared his throat. "This matter is indeed difficult to handle. But we have to be reasonable.

Zhuzi signed the agreement, so Li Dazhuang should pay liquidated damages if he goes back on his word.

But after all, this agreement was not signed by Li Dazhuang, so it is indeed a bit unreasonable to ask him to pay the 200 yuan.

However, the pillars have already been built, and Master Li's wages cannot be left unattended. I think we should discuss this together and see if we can come up with a compromise."

After hearing what Third Uncle said, everyone fell into deep thought. After a while, He Yuzhu said, "Third Uncle, what you said makes sense. So tell me, is there any compromise?"

The third uncle thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Li Dazhuang doesn't have to pay the 200 yuan penalty, but he has to compensate part of Master Li's wages. As for how much compensation to pay, we can discuss it together. This will not only take care of Li Dazhuang's situation, but also reduce the loss of Zhuzi."

Neither He Yuzhu nor Li Dazhuang expressed their opinions immediately, and Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong remained silent as well.

Finally, after some discussion, everyone decided to let Li Dazhuang compensate Master Li 30 yuan for his wages.

"I have no money. Besides, He Yuzhu damaged my house, why does he want me? Give him the money..." Li Dazhuang jumped out immediately when he heard that he was asked to pay.

When He Yuzhu heard that Li Dazhuang was unwilling to pay but still wanted to stop him from renovating the house, he glared at him and shouted, "Li Dazhuang, either you pay or don't stop me from renovating the house. Don't make a fuss here and waste everyone's time."

"He Yuzhu, don't go too far!" Li Dazhuang roared angrily, his face flushed red, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

"Li Dazhuang, am I bullying you too much? Go ask your neighbors and see if you are being unreasonable or if I am bullying you."

He Yuzhu sneered, his eyes full of disdain and ridicule.

"It's fine if you're unfilial, but you're also here to stop your parents from doing good things. Do you think no one can see what you're thinking? Aren't you just trying to take advantage of the opportunity to make some money?"

"Li Dazhuang, you are not filial to your parents, and you even beat them today. What right do you have to get involved in your parents' affairs?" someone accused loudly.

"Li Dazhuang, He Yuzhu is right, you are just being unreasonable." Another person echoed.

"Li Dazhuang, He Yuzhu did nothing wrong. You either pay the penalty or get out." Everyone said, their tone filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

"I am just an unfilial son. What right do I have to take care of my parents' house..."

"That's right, people like this deserve a lesson..." Everyone cursed at once. Li Dazhuang was frightened. He still remembered clearly how he was beaten up by everyone and his whole body was in pain.

His face turned pale and his eyes were filled with fear and helplessness.

"He Yuzhu, you are so cruel. I agreed to let my parents rent the house to you. Isn't that enough? Isn't it okay for me to leave?"

Li Dazhuang walked out as he spoke. His steps were a little unsteady, as if he would fall at any time.

"That's more like it, Li Dazhuang, I've been waiting for you to say this!" He Yuzhu sneered.

As soon as Li Dazhuang left, the yard immediately became quiet.

The originally noisy courtyard seemed to have been muted, with only the sound of the breeze blowing gently. Seeing that He Yuzhu and Li Dazhuang had left, everyone also dispersed and returned to their own homes.

The tense atmosphere in the yard gradually dissipated, as if the argument just now had never happened.

Aunt Wang and Uncle Li breathed a sigh of relief as they watched everyone leave.

There were expressions of exhaustion and relief on their faces; the storm had finally subsided temporarily.

"Zhu Zi, this house..." Aunt Wang hesitated to speak, her eyes full of expectation and gratitude.

"Auntie Wang, what I promised you remains unchanged." After saying this, He Yuzhu turned around and asked Master Li to continue the construction.

His tone was firm and decisive, making people feel his integrity and responsibility.

Besides, Li Dazhuang got angrier and angrier as he left the courtyard.

His heart was filled with anger and resentment, and he felt that he had been deceived by Xu Damao. He turned around and was about to go and settle the score with Xu Damao.

It was all his words. He said that as long as he made some noise, he would get the three hundred dollars. But now he didn't get any benefit at all and was beaten up instead.

When Li Dazhuang was about to look for Xu Damao, Xu Damao just happened to slip out of the courtyard.

When Li Dazhuang saw this, he immediately walked up to him, lifted his collar and asked, "Xu Damao, explain it to me clearly!"

When Xu Damao saw Li Dazhuang, his face changed and he said in panic: "Li Dazhuang, what are you doing? Let me go!"

"Xu Damao," Li Dazhuang shouted through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with anger and hatred.

"Li Dazhuang, what exactly do you want to do?" Xu Damao asked, with a hint of fear in his voice.

"What are you doing? Humph, I want to settle the score with you. You caused me to be besieged by everyone." Li Dazhuang said, his tone full of anger and grievance.

Xu Damao asked guiltily, "Li Dazhuang, what do you mean? What right do you have to say that I harmed you?"

"Xu Damao, don't play dumb. I was besieged by my neighbors just now, and you dare to say that it's okay?" Li Dazhuang said, his eyes fixed on Xu Damao, as if he wanted to find a flaw in his face.

"Li Dazhuang, when did I harm you? I asked you to go find He Yuzhu and ask him for money, but I didn't ask you to beat up your parents. You asked for it." Xu Damao defended.

Li Dazhuang was so angry at Xu Damao's words that he said, "But it was you who deliberately led me into this trap. That's why I didn't get the money and was beaten."

Xu Damao defended himself guiltily, "I don't have so many bad ideas, Li Dazhuang, I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise you will really suffer."

"Xu Damao, you still dare to quibble? I tell you, I will never leave. I want you to take responsibility and compensate me!" Li Dazhuang said angrily, his eyes full of firmness and determination.

"Li Dazhuang, you are blackmailing me." Xu Damao said, with anger and dissatisfaction on his face.

"Xu Damao, do you think I really don't know? I just knew that you were deliberately framing me." Li Dazhuang said, his tone full of anger.

"Li Dazhuang, if you have evidence, go to the police. If you don't have evidence, just shut up. I'm only giving you some advice. You are the one who caused the trouble, and now you blame me for it. I think you are hopeless."

Xu Damao said, his tone full of sarcasm and disdain.

"I'm hopeless? Xu Damao, I'm going to fight you. I must kill you today." Li Dazhuang said, swinging his fist and hitting Xu Damao.
