Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

"That's right. He Yudong has become more and more reckless since he followed Sha Zhu. I think Xu Damao is going to get hurt today."

Ran Qiuye listened to these discussions and began to doubt He Yudong's words. Although she had just moved in, she could see that the interpersonal relationships in this courtyard were complicated and far from as simple as they seemed on the surface.

"Comrade, you said Xu Damao was cheating. Do you have any evidence?" Ran Qiuye's voice was cold and firm, with an unquestionable momentum.

He Yudong was frightened by Ran Qiuye's momentum. He was stunned for a moment, then he stiffened his neck and said, "Aunt Jia saw it with her own eyes, how could it be false?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I saw with my own eyes Xu Damao grabbed an old hen from my chicken coop and pushed me to the ground. My waist still hurts!" Upon seeing this, Jia Zhang hurried forward and agreed, while she spoke exaggeratedly while covering her waist with her hands, looking extremely painful.

Ran Qiuye looked at Jia Zhang with doubt, but she was even more confused. Although she was a teacher, she also knew the principle of "catch the thief and take the stolen goods, catch the adulterer and take both". It was too hasty to conclude that Xu Damao stole the chicken based on Jia Zhang's one-sided statement.

"Even if Xu Damao really stole the chicken, you can't hit him! Hitting people is against the law, do you know that?" Seeing that He Yudong wanted to refute, Ran Qiuye interrupted him and said righteously.

"Breaking the law? I'm breaking the law by beating up this chicken thief?" He Yudong was immediately unhappy. "Ms. Ran, what's your logic? Are you an accomplice of Xu Damao?"

"You, you are talking nonsense!" Ran Qiuye was so angry that his face turned pale, and his finger trembled slightly as he pointed at He Yudong. "When did I speak for him? I was just talking about the facts! If you keep talking nonsense like this, I will go to the street office to sue you!"

He Yudong felt a little uneasy when he saw that Ran Qiuye was really angry, but he refused to give in: "Go ahead and sue! Who's afraid of who? I want to see whether there are more good people or bad people these days!"

"You..." Ran Qiuye was so angry that he was about to open his mouth to refute, but suddenly he felt dizzy, his vision went dark, and his body fell down limply.

"Teacher Ran! Teacher Ran!"

"Someone come quickly! Teacher Ran fainted!"

......

In the chaos, He Yudong felt his heart suddenly jump, and a bad premonition came to his mind...

Seeing that He Yudong was unmoved, the woman frowned even more tightly and said in a stern tone, "In broad daylight, in the open, you dare to beat someone up in the street. Is there any law?"

He Yudong was stunned for a moment, and then he carefully looked at the woman in front of him. She was tall, with fair skin, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, especially her big watery eyes, which seemed to be able to speak, making people want to sink into them.

"The law? I am the law!" He Yudong came back to his senses, sneered, pointed at Xu Damao's nose and cursed, "This kid is a thief, everyone can punish him, what's wrong with me teaching him a lesson? How does it bother you?"

The woman couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "What a 'anyone can punish him', I think you are the unreasonable one, right? You said he stole things, do you have any evidence? If not, you are slandering him!"

He Yudong was speechless after hearing the woman's righteous words. He couldn't say that he did this because he had obtained the system and knew the plot, right?

"I..." He Yudong hesitated for a long time and couldn't make out the reason.

"What? You have nothing to say?" The woman pressed on, her momentum pressing, "You keep saying that you want to enforce justice, but I think you are clearly taking this opportunity to take revenge and settle personal scores!"

He Yudong's face turned pale and blue at what the woman said. He had never been scolded like that since he was a child. He was immediately furious and was about to open his mouth to refute, but was interrupted by the system prompt sound that suddenly rang in his mind.

"Ding! It is detected that the host has encountered a strong obstacle, triggering a hidden task: Conquer the hot pepper! Task requirements: Win the heart of this woman, task rewards: One random skill draw, system experience value +50, monetary reward: 50 yuan."

He Yudong was stunned for a moment, and his original anger disappeared in an instant, replaced by an indescribable excitement.

Conquer the spicy little pepper? This task is interesting!

He Yudong looked at the eloquent yet beautiful woman in front of him, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Miss, you are right. I was too impulsive." He Yudong suddenly changed his attitude and said sincerely, "I shouldn't have hit someone without knowing the truth. I apologize to you."

The woman obviously didn't expect He Yudong to suddenly give in. She was stunned for a moment, then asked suspiciously: "You... do you really think so?"

"Of course." He Yudong looked at the woman sincerely, with admiration in his eyes almost overflowing. "I am a straightforward person and easily impulsive. In fact, I have a kind heart. I misunderstood Xu Damao just now. I apologize to him now."

As he spoke, He Yudong turned and looked at Xu Damao, a sinister smile on his face.

Xu Damao was hiding behind Sha Zhu at first, but when he saw He Yudong coming towards him, he turned pale with fright. He quickly hid behind Sha Zhu and stammered, "You, what do you want to do? I, I didn't provoke you!"

"Xu Damao, don't be afraid, I'm here to apologize to you right now." He Yudong said with a smile, his tone so gentle as if he was coaxing a child.

Before Xu Damao could react, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and then, a hard object hit his head hard...

"Who are you? Why are you meddling in other people's business?" He Yudong shook off the woman's hand and asked impatiently.

The woman was not angry at He Yudong's rude behavior. Instead, she smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth. Her big watery eyes were full of amusement. "Oh, isn't this the kind-hearted man in our courtyard, Comrade He Yuzhu? What, after teaching Xu Damao a lesson, you want to discipline me too?"

He Yudong then noticed that the woman in front of him was none other than the new resident in the courtyard, Ran Qiuye.

Ran Qiuye is a cultural teacher at the steel mill. She is beautiful and gentle, and many bachelors in the factory are interested in her. Although He Yudong doesn't say it, he has long been drooling over her in his heart.

"Teacher Ran, why are you here?" He Yudong forced a smile on his face and his tone became a little more polite.

"I came to see the excitement." Ran Qiuye said, but his eyes fell on Xu Damao, who was bruised and swollen not far away. "He Yuzhu, why did you beat Xu Damao like this? What did he do wrong?"

"He..." He Yudong was about to speak but was interrupted by Ran Qiuye.

"Don't tell me it's all about trivial matters again." Ran Qiuye frowned slightly, "He Yuzhu, I see you usually look like a decent person, how come you have such bad intentions? You only know how to bully honest people all day long, and you don't feel ashamed!"

He Yudong didn't expect Ran Qiuye to expose him in public, and he was embarrassed. His face turned red, and he said with his neck stiff, "Teacher Ran, what do you mean by that? I taught Xu Damao a lesson, and he deserved it! He stole and corrupted the atmosphere of the academy, and I am enforcing justice for him!"

"Doing justice for the heavens?" Ran Qiuye sneered, "I think you want to take this opportunity to take revenge, right? Don't think I don't know that you have long disliked Xu Damao, and this time you just got the chance to take revenge!"

"You..." He Yudong was speechless when Ran Qiuye hit the nail on the head.

The neighbors around also started whispering.

"I was wondering why He Yuzhu suddenly became so righteous. It turns out he has other intentions!"

"That's right. I think he just wanted to take this opportunity to show off in front of Teacher Ran, but he ended up making things worse and ended up getting taught a lesson by Teacher Ran."

"Serves him right! He let him pretend! Now he's embarrassed!"

Listening to the discussions of people around him, He Yudong felt his face burning and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Ran Qiuye stopped paying attention to He Yudong and turned to Xu Damao, asking with concern, "Xu Damao, are you okay?"

Xu Damao was originally lying on the ground pretending to be dead, but when he heard Ran Qiuye's voice, he immediately jumped up like a corpse, crying and complaining: "Teacher Ran, you have to make a decision for me! This He Yudong beat me up for no reason and slandered me for stealing. You can't believe his lies!"

"Okay, okay, don't cry." Ran Qiuye comforted him softly, "What's going on? Tell me slowly."

Xu Damao's eyes rolled, and he immediately recounted the whole story with exaggeration. Of course, in the process of narration, he intentionally or unintentionally portrayed himself as a victim, and He Yudong as an unforgivable villain.

After listening to Xu Damao's crying, Ran Qiuye frowned even more. Although she knew that Xu Damao liked to take advantage of others, he would not do anything sneaky. Moreover, she could see that He Yudong had indeed gone too far this time.

"He Yuzhu, do you have anything else to say?" Ran Qiuye turned to look at He Yudong and asked in a stern tone.

He Yudong opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, but found that he had nothing to say. He couldn't tell Ran Qiuye that the reason he beat Xu Damao was because the system had issued a task for him to teach Xu Damao a lesson, right?

"I......"

At this moment, a cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded in He Yudong's mind: "Ding! The host is detected to be in trouble. The system will provide assistance. Do you accept it?"

Hearing the system prompt sound, He Yudong's eyes suddenly lit up...

The woman's hand was strong, and He Yudong felt pain and subconsciously let go of the feather duster. He rubbed his wrist and was about to scold her, but he was stunned when he saw the woman's face.

This woman had picturesque eyebrows and eyes, skin as white as cream, especially her pair of watery almond eyes, which seemed to be able to speak. There was an indescribable charm and attractiveness in her glance.
