Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

After Mr. Xu finished speaking, he found a chair and sat down without saying another word.

"Hey, do you know where Shazhu hit Xu Damao?" Wang Mazi said with a wicked smile.

"No way, 500 yuan is enough for three years' salary."

"Hehe, this is it. Otherwise, do you think Father Xu would dare to ask for so much?" Wang Mazi pointed at his second brother and said obscenely.

"But didn't Shazhu beat Xu Damao before?" asked a young man in the yard.

"Stupid, that must be because the injection was too heavy this time. Didn't you hear what the uncle said? Xu Damao is still in the hospital."

"Ah, then Xu Damao won't become a eunuch, will he?" another neighbor interrupted.

At this time, Wang Mazi said, "I don't think so. Otherwise, Mr. Xu wouldn't have asked for only 500 yuan. You know, his family only has one son, Xu Damao."

"That makes sense."

While everyone was discussing, an old man called Sha Zhu aside and said, "Zhu Zi, you are in big trouble this time."

"But uncle, the doctor said Xu Damao is fine."

"Alas, calling you Sha Zhu is not unfair to you." The old man said helplessly after hearing what Sha Zhu said.

The uncle continued, "You kicked Xu Damao in the genitals this time. The doctor said it was okay, so it's okay. It's okay that you didn't go to the hospital before, but you obviously kicked him too hard this time. If Xu's father really wants to call the police, you might really have to go to jail for a while."

After listening to the explanation of the uncle, Sha Zhu was also a little scared and asked anxiously: "Uncle, what should I do?"

The old man looked at Sha Zhu at this moment and wondered why he had ever liked Sha Zhu before.

But he still said helplessly: "Looking at Mr. Xu's look, you can only pay compensation."

"But...but 500 yuan is too much." Sha Zhu said hesitantly.

"Hey, don't talk for a while, I'll see if I can make you pay less."

If it was a time when the old lady wasn't pregnant yet, it would be hard to say whether Sha Zhu would have to pay compensation or not.

At this time, the old man patted the table again, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"I have discussed this with Sha Zhu, and he admitted that he accidentally hit Xu Damao. But is 500 yuan too much? How about 100 yuan?"

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Xu's father was a little unhappy. He asked for 500 yuan, but you gave him 100 yuan. Is that a discount?

So he said, "No, 100 yuan is too little. Shazhu beat up my Damao and he's still in the hospital."

"Then how much do you say?"

"If you want another 500 yuan, I won't take care of this matter anymore, let's solve it ourselves."

Finally, after some bargaining, the price was set at 230 yuan.

Sha Zhu felt a little painful as he took out 230 yuan from his home and handed it to Xu's father.

"Okay, okay, the problem is solved. Let's all go back." After saying this, the old man went home first.

When Sha Zhu got home, he said to Zhang Weiguo in a somewhat unhappy tone, "Weiguo, Xu Damao's father is just being unreasonable. He just kicked me, but he asked me for 230 yuan."

Zhang Weiguo listened to Sha Zhu's words in silence and said, "Then you won't refuse to give it to me?"

"This... If he doesn't give it to you, he will report it to the police?" Sha Zhu said in a weaker voice.

"You also know the police!"

Zhang Weiguo felt helpless. Sha Zhu was not a bad person, but he did things without thinking. You even kicked Xu Damao's second brother, so it's only natural for his father to ask you for money.

To put it bluntly, if there hadn't been an old man protecting Sha Zhu in the yard, this kid probably wouldn't have been able to defeat Xu Damao (except in terms of force).

"Oh, I was originally planning to buy a bicycle for Yu Shui when I had enough industrial coupons. I didn't expect that they would all be given to Xu Damao." Sha Zhu said somewhat disappointedly.

"Learn from this lesson, and use your brain before doing anything next time. Don't act rashly without considering the consequences."

Zhang Weiguo lectured Sha Zhu and then asked, "By the way, just by beating up Xu Damao, did you find out the woman's name?"

"Yes!" Sha Zhu slapped his forehead. He had lost all his money, but in the end he still didn't know the girl's name.

"Weiguo, what should I do?"

Zhang Weiguo was speechless. He didn't know what to do. After all, he didn't know the name of the woman that Sha Zhu was talking about, not to mention that this matter had nothing to do with him.

He replied, "Shazhu, I think you should find someone else. With the beating you gave Xu Damao, you probably won't get any information from him in your lifetime."

"I...Alas!" Sha Zhu sighed. He didn't expect that his newly awakened love had ended before it even began.

"Weiguo, have a drink with me."

A few days later, early in the morning.

Qin Huairu called Qin Jingru out of the door.

Qin Jingru seemed to sense that Qin Huairu was going to chase her away, so she said in advance: "Sister, why are you calling me? I still need to change Huaihua's diaper."

"Don't interrupt me, little girl." Qin Huairu patted Qin Jingru on the back and continued, "Jingru, I don't mean to drive you back, but look at this house. It's so small. It's not a good idea for you to live here all the time."

"But sister, I..."

Qin Huairu knew what her sister wanted to say, so she interrupted, "Jingru, I know what you're thinking. So, you go back to the village first, and I'll help you look for someone here. If there's a good city guy, I'll let you know as soon as possible."

"Well, sis. You have to help me find a good family."

"You idiot, you can't wait to get married."

Qin Jingru seemed to be embarrassed by Qin Huairu's directness. She covered her face and said shyly, "Sister, I hate you!"

Qin Huairu looked at her cousin, feeling somewhat helpless. She knew what city dwellers thought of rural girls. Generally, only city workers with physical disabilities would choose rural girls. Especially after the country changed the household registration requirements (children's household registration is with the mother), fewer city dwellers would marry rural girls.

When she married Jia Dongxu, she was marrying down. If it weren't for Zhang Weiguo's help, she might still be working as a fitter in the factory.

The next day, around noon.

Zhang Weiguo originally took advantage of the lunch break when he came back from the factory and bought some candied fruits for Lou Xiao'e from the department store.

As soon as I arrived at the courtyard, I heard a scream.

"Dad, Dad, stop hitting me." Liu Guangfu looked at his screaming brother Liu Guangtian and tried to persuade his second uncle.

"Get out of the way. If you keep talking, I'll beat you up too."

After saying this, Second Uncle Liu Haizhong picked up the belt in his hand and planned to hit Liu Guangtian.

Liu Guangtian seemed to be in a daze and took advantage of the second uncle's inattention to push him down.

Then he turned and ran out.

"Dad, are you okay?" Liu Guangfu originally wanted to ask his father if he was hurt from the fall.

Unexpectedly, the second uncle directly hit Liu Guangfu with the belt.

He even said, "This is outrageous. You actually dared to push me."
