Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

Xu Damao stared at Liu Haizhong with a gloomy look in his eyes for a while, without saying a single extra word. He spoke to Yu Li in a muffled voice.

"Wife, help me go home."

Yu Li supported Xu Damao and moved back step by step. The neighbors in the yard saw that there was no more excitement to watch. They dispersed and chatted in groups of three or four.

Liu Haizhong looked at Xu Damao's receding back, a smug smile appeared on his chubby face. He spat and kept muttering in his heart.

"Bah, you deserve it. Xu Damao, you little bastard, how dare you steal my position as captain. I can't vent my anger unless I teach you a lesson."

Liu Haizhong was exhausted at the factory some time ago and had no time to think about anything else. After Director Li spoke, the workload was slowly reduced.

When people have free time, they have a lot to do.

After Liu Haizhong had some free time, he saw Xu Damao and his patrolmen wandering around the factory every day. He realized that Xu Damao had taken his job away.

He didn't have the courage to cause trouble for Zhang Minghui, so he hated Xu Damao who replaced him.

Just now in the backyard, Liu Haizhong had been listening for a long time. When he looked out from the moon gate to the middle yard, he saw Xu Damao running towards the moon gate.

Liu Haizhong suddenly had an idea and collided head-on with Xu Damao, knocking him down so that Sha Zhu could catch Xu Damao and teach him a lesson, thus venting his frustration.

Zhang Minghui listened to Yan Fugui's story in the front yard with great interest. Zhang Minghui even regretted that he did not see such an exciting plot in person.

If I had known, I wouldn’t have gone to Li Guoyong’s place today.

Yan Fugui said proudly when he saw Zhang Minghui smiling.

"Minghui, what have we just said? You don't know, this drama is not over yet! It hasn't been long since Xu Damao and his wife returned home, and I don't know what they are talking about."

"I started working on it right away at home."

Zhang Minghui was stunned. Why did the couple start fighting again? He immediately asked Yan Fugui.

"Uncle, what's the matter between Xu Damao and his wife? Isn't the matter in the courtyard over? Why are they fighting again?"

Yan Fugui told Zhang Minghui with a grin.

"Minghui, no one knows the specific reason, but from the noises we heard from their quarrel in the room, it should be about the child. Xu Damao blames Yu Li for not being able to have children."

"Yu Li said Xu Damao had health problems. The two had a serious fight, and Yu Li went back to her parents' home in anger. The two were arguing about getting a divorce."

After Zhang Minghui and Yan Fugui chatted for a while, they pushed the cart back to the backyard. Everyone in the household had gone to bed. Zhang Minghui went into the house and chatted with Siyu for a while, and was just about to go to bed.

Unexpectedly, Xu Damao's voice was heard outside.

"Minghui, is Minghui at home?"

Zhang Minghui responded and went outside. In the moonlight, he saw Xu Damao's face was red and he reeked of white wine, which made Zhang Minghui's nose blocked.

Seeing Zhang Minghui coming out, Xu Damao said staggeringly.

"Minghui, come to my house and have a drink with me! I'm feeling depressed and don't know who to talk to. I just thought of you."

Zhang Minghui thought about it, nodded and agreed, then went back to the house to tell Siyu.

As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a scent of Chinese medicine. Zhang Minghui looked closely and saw that the floor was full of scattered Chinese medicine, brooms, and chairs were all tilted.

Xu Damao said embarrassedly.

"Minghui, don't be offended. We had a fight tonight. We didn't have time to clean up the floor. Let's talk about it tomorrow! Come with me and have a drink first."

On the table, there was a plate of peanuts, a plate of untouched pork head, and a bowl of garlic sauce. Half of the Xifeng wine was already drunk.

Xu Damao found a cup and chopsticks in the cupboard and filled Zhang Minghui's cup with wine. They both took a sip from their cups, and Xu Damao spoke in a melancholy tone.

"Minghui, I've had enough of this. I can't keep Yu Li, a hen that can't lay eggs. I have to divorce her."

Zhang Minghui took a piece of peanuts and took a sip of white wine before asking softly.

"Brother Mao, I just heard from Old Yan that you two had a fight. Why did it get so serious? If you can avoid getting a divorce, then don't do it."

Xu Damao took two bites of the pig head and kept chewing it. Hearing Zhang Minghui's words, Xu Damao slammed the table and spoke angrily.

"Minghui, you don't know. I was beaten by Sha Zhu today. After returning home, Yu Li arranged to call the police and have the police come into the courtyard to arrest Sha Zhu."

"I didn't agree, but she kept nagging me. Minghui, these old ladies don't know shit. The Public Security Bureau is in chaos right now, and many people have been arrested."

"During this period, the security department of our factory was still discussing this matter! They said that the police are now busy with internal affairs, not to mention the small issue of war. They are just talking about the problem of robbery on the streets."

“The police don’t have time to take care of it.”

Hearing this, Zhang Minghui nodded in agreement, sighing.

"Of course! After someone in the neighboring courtyard was robbed a few days ago, no one from the police station came. So I asked the uncle in charge of the courtyard to remind everyone."

"This matter is getting more and more serious."

Xu Damao clinked glasses with Zhang Minghui and spoke with empathy.

"That's right, these old women don't know anything and just add to the chaos. If it worked, I would have asked the police to deal with Sha Zhu a long time ago. Why would I need her to remind me?"

"I won't let this bastard Shazhu go."

"He dared to kick me down there. I even suspected that this guy was the one who kicked me when I was a kid. He injured my down there and I have to take Chinese medicine to heal my body."

Zhang Minghui stared at Xu Damao carefully, and he was also quite skeptical about this matter. However, Zhang Minghui felt that Sha Zhu's problem only accounted for a small part.

Xu Damao's infertility may be related to his job. Projectionists often come into contact with chemicals, so this may be related to it.

The two drank and chatted. Xu Damao talked more and more, constantly accusing Yu Li of being infertile. The issue of the continuation of the Xu family's family line was a big deal.

Zhang Minghui was listening quietly and drinking when Xu Damao suddenly said something.

"Minghui, what do you think of Yu Haitang? Is it okay for me to marry her?"

Zhang Minghui, who was drinking, choked and coughed for a long time before he recovered. He stared at Xu Damao and asked in disbelief.

"Brother Damao, who are you talking about? Did I hear you wrong?"

Xu Damao half-lay on the table, his eyes blurry, his tongue sticking out, and he spoke excitedly.

"Yu Haitang! This little girl is beautiful and is the most popular girl in the factory. She is second only to your Cheng Siyu."
