Xu Damao had not returned to the yard yet, and the onlookers had not dispersed yet, all waiting for him to come back and continue watching the fun.

Jia Zhang even moved a chair and sat in the yard, waiting for Xu Damao to come back and give her the money.

When Sha Zhu returned to the courtyard and saw this scene, he immediately realized that something had happened in the courtyard. He walked over with a smile and asked the uncle Yi Zhonghai:

"Uncle, our courtyard is so lively today, what happened? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Seeing Sha Zhu gloating over other's misfortune, Jia Zhang was unhappy: "Sha Zhu, what are you so happy about?"

"Hey! Aunt Zhang, I'm not asking you any questions. I'm asking an old man. This has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Humph! You are just lucky. If I had known, I wouldn't have let you go so easily. Look how proud you are."

After Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi's quarrel, the atmosphere in the yard became even more tense.

Yi Zhonghai frowned, coughed lightly and said, "Alright, stop arguing. Damao and Xiao'e are getting a divorce, and the matter has not been finalized yet, so don't make a fuss."

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Sha Zhu laughed: "Hehe! Xu Damao deserves it. He is always messing with young girls and wives outside."

"If I were Lou Xiao'e, I would divorce him too and let this guy be single for the rest of his life."

At this moment, Xu Damao returned to the courtyard dejectedly, and almost cried when he saw Yi Zhonghai:

"Master, you have the final say in this hospital. Please help me. Lou Xiao'e is too bullying."

Then he told her how Lou Xiao'e had taken away all the money and valuables in the house, intending to kick him out of the house with nothing. He looked so pitiful.

When Jia Zhang heard what he said, she had no sympathy at all and shouted, "Xu Damao, what are you still hesitating about? Pay the money and pay the compensation!"

Hearing this, Sha Zhu pulled over the neighbor who was watching the excitement, asked about the whole story, and then gnashed his teeth and cursed: "Serves you right!"

Sha Zhu's voice was really loud, and the words seemed to have wings and flew straight into Xu Damao's ears.

At this time, Xu Damao was anxiously hesitating whether to take out all the little money in his pocket to compensate the Jia family.

He was already upset about his divorce, and he felt like he was tangled in a tangled mess, with no clue as to what to do.

And when he heard Sha Zhu scolding him for what he deserved, at that moment, he felt as if there was a volcano in his heart that was about to erupt.

A raging nameless anger instantly surged from the bottom of his heart to his head, burning him so much that he lost all his rationality.

"Silly Zhu, stop being so proud. You are not much better than me." Xu Damao's eyes widened with anger and he shouted:

"I don't need to tell you how good you were to Qin Huairu when your wife was away. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it."

Xu Damao's words were like a bomb, instantly exploding in the crowd.

When Sha Zhu heard Xu Damao mention the past event that he least wanted to recall, his face suddenly changed and he almost jumped up:

"Shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, I will tear your stinky mouth apart!"

Sha Zhu was so furious that fire seemed to be spewing from his eyes.

After cursing, Sha Zhu felt panic in his heart. He immediately looked around nervously, and only felt relieved when he didn't see Lingzi anymore.

It was not easy for Lingzi to agree to come back and live with him. What he feared most was that Lingzi would find out about the signing of the guarantee letter, which would affect their relationship.

If Lingzi gets angry and runs away again because of this incident, he will really regret it.

As soon as Xu Damao finished speaking, the people around him began to whisper to each other, their eyes moving back and forth between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, and pointing at them from time to time.

Some people showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, as if they remembered the past between Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, while others shook their heads and sighed, feeling that there were so many disputes in this courtyard.

Seeing the people around him pointing and talking, Xu Damao felt even more agitated and uneasy. He felt as if he had become a clown being watched by everyone, and Sha Zhu was not much better off.

Xu Damao glared at Sha Zhu fiercely and said through gritted teeth: "Sha Zhu, stop standing here and watching the joke. Even if I, Xu Damao, get divorced, I'm still better off than you."

After hearing this, Sha Zhu naturally refused to give in and immediately retorted, "Hey, Xu Damao, you are still being stubborn. Look at your current state. You have lost both your money and your life. What's so great about you?"

Sha Zhu crossed his arms over his chest with a look of disdain on his face. He felt that Xu Damao was like a cooked duck with a tough mouth. Even though things had come to this point, he was still holding on.

Xu Damao did not back down either. The two of them remained in a stalemate, arguing with each other, and the atmosphere in the courtyard became increasingly tense.

Finally, Jia Zhang became impatient and shouted at Xu Damao, "Xu Damao, I'll ask you again, will you pay the money or not?"

"If you don't pay the money, this matter will be easy to handle. I will go to the street office to find Director Wang now. I don't believe that no one will take care of this matter."

As Jia Zhang spoke, she waved her arms and appeared very excited.

The people around couldn't help but frown when they saw how excited Jia Zhang was. Some people felt annoyed and thought that Jia Zhang was too aggressive.

Some people looked worried, fearing that the matter would escalate and become difficult to resolve.

But Jia Zhang completely ignored the reactions of people around her. She only cared about whether she could get compensation from Xu Damao.

After all, it's a total of fifty yuan. I have to spend it frugally. It's enough for me and my eldest grandson Banggeng to eat big meat buns for a while.

As soon as Jia Zhang finished speaking, Xu Damao became so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He knew that if Jia Zhang really went to the street office to find Director Wang, things would become troublesome and the situation might even spread to the factory.

He didn't want to make a big deal out of this. After all, it was not a glorious thing and he was already unlucky enough.

Thinking of this, Xu Damao hurriedly said: "No, no, no, Aunt Zhang, please don't go. I'll compensate you. Isn't it okay for me to compensate you?" His voice sounded helpless.

He reached into his pocket and took out the thin banknotes. After counting out the ones with the largest amounts, he handed them to Jia Zhang reluctantly.

Jia Zhang's eyes lit up instantly, and she couldn't wait to take the money, a satisfied smile appearing on her face, as if she had obtained a huge fortune.

The people around looked at Jia Zhang's appearance, some showed contempt, while others shook their heads secretly, feeling sorry for Xu Damao.

When Xu Damao looked at Jia Zhang's satisfied smile, his heart was filled with regret and anger. He knew that he was being manipulated this time, but he could do nothing about it.
