Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Qin Huairu's originally fair cheeks turned red in an instant. She looked like a pear blossom in the rain, choking and crying, "It's all my fault as an incompetent mother. I didn't discipline the child well. It's all my fault. I'm useless. I can't even feed the child. If you want to deal with someone, deal with me." After hearing what Qin Huairu said, the whole yard instantly became quiet, as if you could hear a pin drop.

Jia Zhang stopped making a fuss, hugged the stick tightly, and hid timidly behind Qin Huairu. The three uncles saw that there were too many people gathered in the yard, so they spoke up to persuade everyone not to watch anymore.

Finally, people from other courtyards gradually left, leaving only the people from the Siheyuan. At this time, the three uncles officially announced the start of the meeting. "Oh, another meeting! Our courtyard has held meetings so frequently."

Tian Xiuyun smacked her lips and said softly. "That's right, this compound is really lively." Feng Yu took Tian Xiuyun's arm and whispered to her. The two of them talked quietly.

Everyone also found a place, some stood, some sat, quietly waiting for the three uncles to speak.

Liu Haizhong cleared his throat, sat there steadily, and then said: "Everyone knows what happened just now, and now the people in the outer courtyard have all left. Let's close the door and deal with it however we should. Don't make so much noise that the neighbors come to watch the fun. Our compound is a civilized compound. If you keep making noise like this, do you still want the welfare benefits at the end of the year?" After that, he glanced at everyone in the yard with a hint of majesty in his eyes.

The third uncle also stood up at this time and said to Xu Damao, "Xu Damao, today's matter is between your family and the Jia family. No matter whether Banggeng stole the chickens or caught them for fun, your family has not lost any chickens now, right?"

When Xu Damao heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Stealing a chicken is different from catching a chicken. Bang Geng himself said that he stole the chicken. It wasn't me who said that."

"Don't worry, the chicken is not lost, right?" the third uncle asked again carefully.

"The chicken wasn't lost, but my wife saw it. If she hadn't seen it, the consequences would be disastrous. I..." Xu Damao wanted to say more, but was interrupted by the uncle again. "Okay, I won't ask you so much."

The uncle looked at the crying Jia family members, then turned to look at Xu Damao's wife. Looking at this young widow from the countryside, Yi Zhonghai felt a little scalp-numbing. This was a difficult person. Once there was something wrong, she would be unreasonable.

"Whether it's stealing the chicken or catching the chicken, it's all Banggeng's fault. Xu Damao, how do you plan to deal with this matter? Let's listen to your opinion as the victim." The old man said he wanted to listen to Xu Damao's opinion, but the expression on his face was somewhat intriguing.

"What opinion can I have? If someone deserves compensation, then he should pay it. If someone deserves punishment, then he should punish him. What opinion can I have?" Xu Damao muttered in a low voice.

Sun Xiaoyan looked at her husband and felt a little aggrieved. Why is this man so cowardly? It's not like we are wrong in this matter. What's wrong with you speaking louder?

"In addition to what Damao said, that old hag must apologize to me. So many people saw her scolding me just now. She must apologize." Sun Xiaoyan stood there angrily and said in the direction of Jia Zhang.

"You scolded me, too. We were just arguing, and you started it. What does it have to do with me? You want me to apologize to you? Bah, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Who do you think you are?" Jia Zhang was excited again and started to scold. "Stop talking!" Liu Haizhong yelled, "Jia Zhang, you too, Xu Damao and his wife are right, you really shouldn't scold people. And Sun Xiaoyan, you are too harsh. You should apologize to each other and this matter will be over."

Jia Zhang snorted reluctantly, and Sun Xiaoyan glared at her.

"As for Bang Geng," Yi Zhonghai continued, "it was wrong for him to steal the chicken, but he is still a child after all. I think we should let him reflect on it in public and promise not to do it again. In addition, Xu Damao, do you think this is the right way to deal with this matter?"

"Uncle, my chicken was frightened today. I guess its egg-laying ability will be affected. Now the chicken's butt is full of money in the bank. The Jia family must compensate me for my loss." Xu Damao shouted with his neck stiffened.

"My goodness, it's hard to say. It's hard to say whether this old hen will lay eggs once it's frightened. What's more, the eggs haven't been laid yet. How do we calculate the loss?" The third uncle pushed his glasses and said blankly.

"How can his family lay eggs? If they really lay eggs, how can Xu Damao pick up the ready-made ones?" Sha Zhu secretly said to the others. They immediately burst into laughter.

"Shazhu, what are you laughing at? I heard what you just said. You have to apologize to me." Xu Damao's eyes immediately turned red and he glared at Shazhu.

"I said, you still care about what I say. How can you be so capable? It's none of your business what I say at my doorstep." Sha Zhu rolled his eyes and said disdainfully.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing!" Yi Zhonghai shouted, "Xu Damao, don't be so unreasonable. Let the Jia family compensate you one dollar, and let's just leave it at that."

Xu Damao thought about it, and although he was not satisfied, he nodded. Jia Zhang was not happy, and shouted: "Why should we compensate him? Our family is so poor, how can we afford to compensate him!"

"Qin Huairu," Yi Zhonghai looked at her, "You are a sensible person. It is indeed your Banggeng who is wrong in this matter. If you continue to make trouble like this, Banggeng will have no way to live as a human being in the future. What do you think?"

Qin Huairu sighed helplessly and nodded silently.

Qin Huairu bowed solemnly to Xu Damao and his wife. "Da Mao, Xiaoyan, it was my family Bang Geng who was wrong in what happened today. I want to apologize to you first. I will definitely pay you back, but I don't have the money on me right now. Can you please write me an IOU for the compensation first, and then pay you back when I get paid."

"No, that won't work. You either find someone to borrow the money yourself or you have to pay us back now. I don't want to have another fight with your old woman." Sun Xiaoyan yelled.

"Xu Damao, can't you make the decision on this matter? Why do you need a woman to give orders?" Liu Haizhong felt that Sun Xiaoyan was a little too arrogant. She could be so powerful in front of the three uncles.

"You better talk less. I'm still here. You're showing off!" Xu Damao said to his wife with dissatisfaction.

"Xu Damao, just give me a promise. Qin Huairu will write you an IOU first. Do you think it's okay?" Liu Haizhong urged.

"Okay, I'll give you some face. I'll agree to this for your sake." Xu Damao said with a smile.

"Okay, that's enough. Let's all go!" Yi Zhonghai waved his hand, and everyone dispersed one after another.
