Comfortable life in Siheyuan

In the afternoon, the Liu family went out, went to the next yard to take a look, and then went home separately. My sister and brother-in-law had to go to work tomorrow, so they rode their bikes back early.

Xu Damao felt more and more uncomfortable thinking about Sha Zhu's arrogant look, so he made up his mind and wanted to be a jerk again. He went out and wandered around the toilet, waiting for his chance.

After a long time, after waiting for several waves of people, he finally saw Tian Xiuyun coming out to the toilet alone, and hurriedly hid aside. When Tian Xiuyun came out of the toilet, he pretended to be passing by and just saw Tian Xiuyun.

"Isn't this the sister-in-law of the He family? You are so beautiful. If you follow Zhuzi, it would be a fool for him to marry above his station." Xu Damao said with a smile on his face.

"Not really. I'm just a country girl. It's my good fortune to marry Brother Zhuzi. Brother Zhuzi is a good guy." Tian Xiuyun didn't know what this man's purpose was, but she still praised her man.

"There are some things I don't know whether I should tell you or not. It's about this guy Shazhu!" After saying that, he seemed to be hesitant to talk, and his emotions were under control very well.

"If you want to say something, hurry up. If you don't want to say it, forget it. I'll go back!" Tian Xiuyun said impatiently! Why is this old man not straightforward at all? He obviously wants to say something, and he wants me to beg him. Tian Xiuyun instantly looked down on this man.

"Okay, then I'll tell you. This Sha Zhu is having an affair with that widow Qin. Everyone in the factory knows about it. Everyone in our hospital knows that they have a special relationship. The good things that Sha Zhu brought back in the lunch box have all gone to the Jia family. My sister has become so thin in the past year. I feel so bad for her."

"As for this matter, I'll go back and ask about it." Tian Xiuyun listened to these words.

"Hey, no, aren't you angry?" Xu Damao said anxiously!

"I'm angry too, but what can I do now that I'm married?" Tian Xiuyun walked back home in a few steps.

After a while, Sha Zhu ran out angrily, caught up with Xu Damao and kicked him, and Xu Damao ran away. The two of them chased and fought in the yard.

After a while, Xu Damao limped back home, holding his crotch. When Lou Xiao'e saw this, she wanted to go find Sha Zhu to seek justice.

"Ezi, don't go. Get me a towel first and I'll go by myself later." Xu Damao's face was covered in bruises and there was blood under his nose.

"Just do what you want. I don't care about your shit!" Lou Xiao'e threw down a towel and sat back on the bed angrily.

Xu Damao was about to wipe the blood off, but then he thought that it would look different. It was much more miserable now. So he didn't wipe it off and went straight to Liu Haizhong's house.

"Uncle, are you at home?" Xu Damao shouted first while standing at the door.

"What's the matter? Who is it?" Liu Haizhong said as he walked out from the inner room.

"Ouch! What happened to Damao? Why is he injured like this?" The second uncle exclaimed!

"It was Sha Zhu who beat me. Tell me how many times Sha Zhu has beaten me in this yard? Why should our backyard be bullied by the people from the middle yard? He beats me whenever he wants. Does he even take a second uncle like you seriously?" Xu Damao said aggrievedly.

When the second uncle heard this, he felt that Sha Zhu had offended his authority as the manager of the backyard.

"I'm going to go find Old Yi and discuss with him about holding a general meeting to criticize Sha Zhu and get him married. Look how proud he is of him." After saying that, Liu Haizhong went to Yi Zhonghai's house in the Central Courtyard.

"Lao Yi, Lao Yi, are you home?" As he spoke, he pushed the door and entered an old man's house.

"What's wrong? What happened? You barged in without even waiting for me to open the door." Looking at Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai didn't want to pay attention to this man. He didn't take him, an old man, seriously. He just called him "Old Yi, Old Yi" as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Sha Zhu beat Xu Damao again today. Look how badly he was beaten. Sha Zhu didn't know how hard he would beat him. We have to punish him and make him realize his mistake. I want to hold a general meeting later to criticize Sha Zhu. What do you think, Old Yi?" Liu Haizhong said to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to get involved in this matter at first, but when he thought about what happened in the past two days, he became angry with Sha Zhu again.

"If you want to hold the meeting, just hold it. You are the one who organizes this meeting. All is up to you," Yi Zhonghai said.

"Okay, I'll go get ready now."

Liu Haizhong said this and went home.

Liu Qingshan had just finished his meal and was about to clean up when Liu Guangtian ran over. "Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, there's a general meeting going on in the courtyard. Everyone over there has gone over there. You guys should go over there too!"

"Is there any notice today?" Liu Qingshan asked puzzledly.

"It's not a notice. Today, Sha Zhu beat Xu Damao. The three uncles held a meeting to criticize Sha Zhu!" Liu Guangtian said excitedly.

People of this era had few entertainment activities, so when they heard about a meeting in the evening, it was like watching a big show.

Liu Qingshan went home and got a bench: "Mom and Dad, go and see the excitement in the evening, I'll get you a bench."

"Okay, it's hot and we can't sleep, let's go and take a look." My parents also responded.

By this time, everyone had finished dinner, and each brought their own benches to the central courtyard.

Among the three courtyards in a siheyuan, the central courtyard is the largest, and meetings are generally held in the central courtyard.

There are many people in the courtyard, and there are indeed more than a hundred people, but if you count the number of households, it is not many, only more than 20 households. Generally, only one person from each household can come to the meeting.

However, in an era of scarcity in leisure and entertainment, such a meeting was a rare opportunity to watch the fun. Almost everyone in the courtyard came. All the aunts and uncles brought their benches to sit down early in the courtyard and started chatting about gossip.

"His second aunt, what are we going to talk about at the meeting today? I heard that Sha Zhu beat Xu Damao again?"

"Aunt Li, Sha Zhu beat Xu Damao up this afternoon, leaving him with a black eye and a swollen face. He was in a terrible state. He went to find Lao Liu and said he wanted to talk to Sha Zhu about it."

"You didn't see it. At noon, I saw Shazhu beating Damao outside the toilet. He kicked him in the crotch. Xu Damao's face turned pale!"

"Do you think Damao's thing won't be broken by kicking it? Ah! Hahaha~"

The more you talk, the more nonsense it makes. When this old lady starts talking about something, you, a grown man, really can't win against them.

The three uncles seemed to have gathered almost everyone. The second uncle knocked on the table and stood up and said: "Everyone, we have called everyone here for a meeting of the whole hospital today. I believe everyone knows why. So let's not waste any more time and ask Lao Yi to preside over the meeting."

Yi Zhonghai's face turned dark. You were supposed to be the leader of this meeting, so how come I have to host it?

"Today, Lao Liu and Damao came to my house to find me and told me that Shazhu had beaten Xu Damao in the afternoon. I don't know the details yet. Second Uncle wants to hold this meeting. Second Uncle will preside over it."

Yi Zhonghai is also an old fox. There is no need for him to get involved in such matters himself. Let Lao Liu explore the way first.

Liu Haizhong took a sip of tea from a large teacup and said, "Pfft, let's get started. Are Xu Damao and Shazhu here? Come on, come to the front."

Sha Zhu told his wife that it was okay and walked to the table.

Xu Damao walked around the silly pillar and went to the other side.

The second uncle asked Xu Damao first: "Xu Damao, what happened between you and Sha Zhu today? Tell me in detail why you started fighting again."

"No, I didn't hit him. I couldn't beat him. I just came out of the toilet and went home when I met Sha Zhu. He came up and kicked me without saying a word. Look at what he did to me. I didn't offend him!" Xu Damao said with a look of grievance.

"What were you yelling at my wife at the door? Don't you know why I hit you?" Sha Zhu said with disdain.

"Zhu Zi, you are married now, you can't fight all the time. Now that you have a wife, you can't be the same as before. If you have any problems, you can talk to the old men in the yard. You can't do it yourself! We are all neighbors," said the old man earnestly.

"Uncle, it's not that I beat him for no reason. You should ask him what he said to my wife. Beating him is not a light punishment." Sha Zhu said angrily.

"What did I say? I didn't say anything. Look at the beating you gave me." Xu Damao said in a stern but cowardly manner.

"Shazhu, tell me, what did Xu Damao say to your wife? Just say whatever you want to say, don't be secretive. The compound is here to help you mediate conflicts." The second uncle took two sips of tea and spoke in an official tone.

"I'm embarrassed to say it, he deserves to be beaten." Sha Zhu said indifferently.

"Shazhu!! The hospital is helping you to mediate. If you have something to say, please speak it out. Why are you hiding it? Come here, Shazhu's wife. If Shazhu doesn't say anything, then you can say it!" The second uncle changed direction and said to Tian Xiuyun.

Liu Qingshan felt his pocket and found that he only needed a handful of melon seeds.
