Siheyuan: After I moved in, the compound became a mess

Faced with the situation that Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were unwilling to pay, Yi Zhonghai looked a little surprised.

He has explained the matter very clearly. The three managers should bear certain responsibilities for the incident that damaged the honor of the compound.

In the past, even if it was one dollar, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui would pay it even if it was difficult. But now, let alone fifty cents, it would be difficult to get them to pay even one cent.

"Old Liu, Old Yan, if this matter is not resolved, once it gets out, it will be a big trouble."

Yi Zhonghai's face was full of seriousness, and he solemnly described the seriousness of the matter. "The whole compound will be embarrassed, and people will criticize us when we go out. When we get to the factory, our co-workers will ask us how we can explain it to them. What will they think of the residents of the compound when such a thing happened in the compound?"

Liu Haizhong's fat face trembled twice, and he hissed, "It's really hard to do. I guess even the street office will dislike us."

"There's nothing we can do about it. It's already happened."

Yan Bugui muttered quietly beside him, "If you ask me, the money should be paid by Shazhu. After all, we are looking for evidence for him. Why should we pay for our efforts?"

"You can take it or not, at least I have a clear conscience. I didn't steal it."

Sha Zhu turned his face away and started acting his carefree self again.

Xu Damao leaned against the door frame and was very happy. "If it were me, I would just report it to the police. Why are you wasting time talking here? When the police come, we will do what they say. If Shazhu is innocent, then we will clear his name. Otherwise, we will put him in jail. That's it."

The person in this room who is most reluctant to call the police is probably Xu Damao, but he knows that Yi Zhonghai will never call the police, so he is bullying Sha Zhu.

"Xu Damao, we are investigating the matter. If you don't want to help, just forget it. Don't spread rumors here."

When he heard about the police report, Yi Zhonghai turned around and scolded like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "I don't think you can help much, why don't you just wait outside."

Yi Zhonghai said this to Wang Dabao, Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian, but his real intention was to send Wang Dabao away.

I don’t know what’s wrong, but Wang Dabao always feels uneasy staying here and he can’t concentrate on anything.

The most important thing is that Wang Dabao can obviously influence the decisions of Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, which makes Yi Zhonghai very uncomfortable.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiecheng first looked at Wang Dabao. Xu Damao took a deep breath and did not choose to retort Yi Zhonghai. He also turned his head to see Wang Dabao's reaction.

Wang Dabao glanced at them and thought, "Fuck, they are so neat, why are you all looking at me? Can I glow?!"

"I don't like what you say, Old Yi. What do you mean we can't help? What if you didn't see me helping you just now? Do you need me to help you recall it?"

Wang Dabao frowned and looked at Yi Zhonghai, "Besides, you just said that this concerns all the residents in the compound. Not only can we participate, but we also have the right to know. The street office has given you the power of the boss, but it doesn't allow you to cover up everything in the compound and bully your neighbors, or to support the deaf old lady."

"Why, you need to be secretive when doing something and can't let it be seen in public?!"

Wang Dabao turned his gaze to the neighbors at the door again: "Everyone, tell me, isn't this true? The manager is there to serve the neighborhood and the residents of the compound. He's not just using the title to do nothing, but to bully others with his power."

"Don't underestimate Wang Dabao because he is young. He has a strong sense of justice, just like his uncle."

"That's right. I think he is more transparent and honest than the steward. He is a little young, but if he can be the steward, I will fully support him."

"That's right. Although I don't have any great abilities, I have always been good at judging people. This young man has good character and I heard he was a soldier. This has been verified by the state."

"Yes, we won't leave. We'll just watch from here. We have the right to know what happened."

Listening to the lively discussions at the door, Yi Zhonghai's old face was almost covered in cold sweat.

No one said anything about what he thought of Yi Zhonghai, but their words and actions hinted that he, as a great man, was not qualified.

"Wang Dabao, I act according to my conscience and have never done anything to let down my neighbors over the years. Don't talk nonsense here." Yi Zhonghai said with a stern face, "Then you just watch here and don't make any trouble."

Then he looked at Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, and finally looked back at Jia Zhangshi, "Old sister-in-law, you can see that everyone is eager to catch the person behind the scenes. How about this, I'll pay one dollar, plus Sha Zhu's three dollars, and you will get four dollars."

Jia Dongxu saw the opportunity and quickly advised: "Mom, my master has said so, just take out your pants."

"Okay, this time I'm doing this for his uncle's sake. Otherwise, I won't lose face."

Jia Zhang reached into her bosom and pulled out her bright red shorts, "Where's the money?!"

Yi Zhonghai took out a piece from his pocket.

Sha Zhu reluctantly handed over two one-dollar bills and two fifty-cent bills.

After Jia Zhang got the money, she gave the big red shorts to Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu took it carefully, and he and Yi Zhonghai found a piece of white cloth, and shook it continuously. As a result, some red brick chips actually fell off.

"Case solved."

Yi Zhonghai said with joy, "Old Liu, Old Yan, come and have a look. There are indeed broken bricks on the clothes. This proves that the bricks were wrapped in clothes and entered the house as a whole."

Yan Bugui came closer and picked up the broken bricks and shoved them away. "Oh, this is true. It seems that Sha Zhu was most likely wronged."

"How to speak?"

Sha Zhu was extremely upset about what Yan Bugui said, "I said at the beginning that I have never stolen clothes. I, Sha Zhu, would never do such a thing."

Seeing that Sha Zhu was about to escape, Xu Damao muttered unwillingly, "Could it be that the pants were hit by a brick on the bed, and then the brick was thrown to the ground by Sha Zhu?"

"The possibility that Xu Damao mentioned is not impossible."

Liu Haizhong nodded seriously, "Of course, this kind of coincidence is still rare."

Sha Zhu now wanted Xu Damao to die immediately: "Xu Damao, you just can't stand seeing me get better, right? When I recover from my injuries, you will suffer."

Xu Damao didn't care about Sha Zhu's threat at all. What he was thinking was that he would prepare some good food and have a drink with Wang Dabao in a couple of days to test the other party and see if there was any trick more harmful than today's.

"All right."

Yi Zhonghai stood up, stopped Sha Zhu from continuing, and then said loudly: "Now the truth has been revealed. The person who smashed the glass of Sha Zhu's house and stole Jia Zhang's clothes was the same person, and the purpose was to frame Sha Zhu."

"The next direction of our investigation is to find this person. Let's put our heads together and find him as soon as possible."

It has been proved that the underpants were not stolen by Sha Zhu, and Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang's expressions eased a lot. The most important thing is that his family got four dollars for free.

At first, Jia Dongxu didn't believe what the deaf old lady said about Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu sleeping in the same bed.

Even if he goes to work during the day, his mother, Jia Zhang, is at home all day. Besides, Qin Huairu has to take care of the children and do endless housework. How could she have time to hang out with Sha Zhu?

Wang Dabao looked at the sky outside, patted Xu Damao on the shoulder, and prepared to go back for some sleep.

"Let's go. This has nothing to do with us. We have to go to work at dawn."

Xu Damao smiled and nodded, took out a cigarette and lit it for Wang Dabao, and the two of them walked towards the backyard while smoking.

Yi Zhonghai stopped Sha Zhu who wanted to stop the two men, and then walked to the door to ask the neighbors to go home and get some rest.

After everyone left, only three uncles were left in Sha Zhu's house.

"Then...I'll go back too."

Yan Bugui wanted to leave, "There's no point in me staying here."

A few minutes later, only Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu were left.

"It must have been done by Xu Damao's grandson. Apart from him, I can't think of anyone else who could do such a thing." Sha Zhu squatted on the ground, smoking heavily, and said hatefully.

Yi Zhonghai patted Sha Zhu's shoulder helplessly and said, "Zhu Zi, your status in the hospital is getting lower and lower. I may not be able to help you much in the future. You should think more about the consequences before doing anything."

"Don't worry, uncle. He didn't show any flaws this time. Next time I retaliate against him, I won't let him find any flaws either."
