Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

Until then, everyone finally realized what was happening. They had forgotten that there was still Sha Zhu on the ground who was knocked down by Xu Damao. Xu Damao showed a rare smile. After fighting with Sha Zhu for so long, this was the first time he had the upper hand.

Yi Zhonghai hurried over and pinched Sha Zhu's philtrum several times before waking him up from his coma. At this time, Sha Zhu was still a little confused.

"Old Ye, Old Yan, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"

Yi Zhonghai also felt helpless. It was unrealistic to cover up such a big thing.

But this matter could not be discussed openly. Ye Yongshun and Yan Bugui understood the complexity of the matter and remained silent for a while.

Afterwards, Yi Zhonghai squatted down beside the deaf old lady and whispered, "Old lady, what do you think we should do about this?"

However, the deaf old lady was still furious. "Call the police and let all the relevant departments know. I'm going to the steel mill to tell Director Yang."

Xu Damao showed no fear at all. He lit a cigarette and said calmly, "Okay, get Director Liang and Director Wang over here as soon as possible. I can explain today's situation to them and we'll see who is right and who is wrong."

"You rascal from the Xu family, not only do you disrespect the elderly, you also hit Sha Zhuer with a brick. Tell me, is it yours or his?" the deaf old lady asked loudly.

Hu Qiumei, who had not had a say until now, spoke up at this time: "Old lady, let's forget about this matter. We won't pursue it."

The deaf old lady glanced at Hu Qiumei and said with great sorrow: "Qiumei, you are so confused!"

Hu Qiumei actually had feelings for Xu Damao, and since they lived together in the same compound, she knew Sha Zhu's character very well. Hu Qiumei was very dissatisfied with the deaf old lady's careful planning.

"Let's just call this matter over, old lady. Do you want me to tell you the truth?" Hu Qiumei said.

The deaf old lady's eyes flashed with panic, but then she returned to her normal expression - after all, all actions were under her control and she didn't express anything clearly.

Then I heard Sha Zhu rubbing the back of his head that was hit by the brick and saying in a daze, "What happened?"

Ye Yongshun thought for a moment and said to Hu Qiumei: "Qiumei, what's going on? Tell us what's going on!"

Yan Bugui also echoed: "That's right, tell me about it!"

Others expressed their agreement. Qin Huairu had already guessed the whole story and urged Hu Qiumei to tell it.

Liu Haizhong looked around, wondering if he could gain any benefit from this matter.

After making up his mind, he quietly left the yard and walked towards the police station.

He didn't know the whole story, but seeing that everyone was trying to cover up the matter, he guessed that it must be a big deal. If he could get the matter exposed, he might be able to benefit from it.

Hu Qiumei originally had a good impression of the deaf old lady, but now she felt extremely disgusted.

After adjusting her mood, she said: "Recently, Damao and I had a quarrel, and the old lady asked me to live with her. At first it was fine, nothing was wrong. But in the past few days, she kept instigating the relationship between Damao and me in front of me, and even advised me to divorce him."

When the people in the courtyard heard this, they all looked at the deaf old lady with suspicion.

It stands to reason that "it is better to demolish ten temples than to break up one family", but as a highly respected person in the courtyard, the deaf old lady ignored this saying and kept encouraging the two to break up.

Hu Qiumei continued, "A few days ago, the deaf old lady secretly asked Sha Zhu to cook for her and brought out a bottle of good wine. Today at noon, she persuaded us to drink that wine again. When we were almost done, she found an excuse to leave and locked the door."

Although Hu Qiumei did not directly tell the deaf old lady what she was thinking, everyone present knew it very well. Her intention was obvious, which was to use high concentration of alcohol to confuse the two people's minds and achieve her goal.

"Nonsense! What are you talking about?" The deaf old lady's face suddenly turned pale. "I was very nice to you. I gave you all the Moutai to drink, but you bit me back. Zhonghai, they shouldn't believe her. She must have drunk a lot and is talking nonsense!"

Hu Qiumei snorted coldly and replied: "Old lady, I just stated the facts, and I didn't say what you were going to do. Can you tell me what I slandered you about?"

Xu Damao was relieved at this moment. His wish was simple, he just wanted to persuade his wife to go home and not divorce. Hu Qiumei's words proved that she was still attached to this marriage, and her words showed her intention to defend him.

Yi Zhonghai frowned and asked, "Hu Qiumei, how much did you drink?" "Half a bottle. Sha Zhu and I drank the whole bottle together!"

Facing Sha Zhu who seemed to be about 70% drunk, and then looking at Hu Qiumei who was sober and calm, Yi Zhonghai said with a puzzled look on his face: "You drank half a catty of white wine? But we didn't notice it at all!"

Hu Qiumei said proudly: "My family runs a wine shop. I grew up in a wine cellar. I wouldn't get drunk even if I drank half a catty of Moutai or two catties of Shaodaozi!"

Everyone then understood that the deaf old lady had planned everything, but the only thing she hadn't calculated was Hu Qiumei's alcohol tolerance.

For ordinary people, half a catty of liquor would have made them dizzy, and it was reasonable to do some intimate things under the influence of alcohol. However, the clever old lady did not expect Hu Qiumei to be such a heavy drinker, which made her wish come to nothing.

She leaned on her crutches, looking at Shazhu in front of her, who still had a lustful look in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Is this silly grandson really destined to have no descendants?

Ye Chuan couldn't help but want to laugh. He didn't expect Hu Qiumei to be so good at drinking. This was indeed an unexpected good thing. According to his memory, if it weren't for the series of changes caused by his time travel, this incident might not happen for a few years, and the protagonist should be Lou Xiao'e.

After all, Lou Xiao'e's alcohol tolerance is far inferior to Hu Qiumei's. Only after drinking too much would she have relationships with others in a confused manner, thus falling into a life without autonomy.

"Deaf old lady, do you have anything else to say in your defense?" Xu Damao asked.

Sha Zhu was also a little awake at this moment, and he couldn't help but feel mixed emotions when he thought of the previous scene. If he could really take this opportunity to develop something with Hu Qiumei, even if it didn't make him happy for a while, it would be satisfying to see Xu Damao unhappy.

"Xu Damao, can you call a deaf old lady that? Do you know how to respect the elderly and love the young? Do you still want to live in this yard?"

That bottle of aged Moutai had been stored for a long time, and its strength was quite high and lasting. Sha Zhu was still groggy at this time, and had no idea what had just happened. He just felt a severe headache.

Staggering, he came in front of Xu Damao, looking as if he was ready to attack at any time.

Hu Qiumei stood in front of her husband and shouted angrily, "Silly Zhu, what are you going to do? Do you still want to make trouble in front of so many neighbors?"

"Qiumei..." Shazhu was still confused and uttered these two words naturally.

The word "Qiumei" almost made Xu Damao crazy, as if the Qiumei didn't exist at all.

"Silly Zhu, are you so brainless and sloppy? Can you just call her Qiumei casually?"

The onlookers all stared at Sha Zhu as if he were a fool. Yi Zhonghai also had a look of contempt on his face, regretting in his heart that he had chosen such a person to rely on in his old age.

"Hey, Xu Damao, why are you so bold today? You dare to come over and scold me? Are you looking for a fight?"

Sha Zhu approached Xu Damao again, pretending to be fearless. At this moment, Xu Damao suddenly raised his leg and kicked Sha Zhu's vital part.

Accompanied by a piercing scream, the sound cut through the night sky.

Sha Zhu was instantly knocked to the ground by the kick, and hugged his injured part in pain.

Seeing this, Xu Damao did not dare to leave, after all, his wife was there to testify. After a long time, Sha Zhu regained some consciousness and immediately got up to fight back:

"Xu Damao, you bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

Just when Sha Zhu was about to step forward and beat the other person, a majestic voice suddenly sounded: "Stop! What are you doing here?"

Everyone looked back and saw that it was Director Liang of the police station who came over with several policemen. Before, everyone focused their attention on Sha Zhu and Xu Damao and did not notice this.

Yi Zhonghai secretly wondered why the police appeared here, but when he saw Liu Haizhong behind him, everything suddenly became clear.

He was so annoyed. What he feared was coming true. If this kind of thing happened frequently in the yard, wouldn't it mean that he, as an old man, was not doing his job properly?

When Sha Zhu saw the figures of several policemen, he immediately stopped what he was doing and glared at Xu Damao fiercely, as if to say, I'll make a note of this.

"Hey, Director Liang, why are you here?" Yi Zhonghai hurried forward to greet him.

Director Liang ignored him. With a quick glance, he immediately spotted Ye Chuan who was watching from behind the crowd and walked over in two steps.

"Director Ye, are you taking a rest?"

Ye Chuan shook his hand and said with a smile, "Yes, we finally have a day off. You police officers are so tired. You have to deal with such trivial matters on Sundays."

Director Liang waved his hand and said, "Hey, these are all our responsibilities. I don't know what happened to bring so many people together."

Ye Chuan shook his head and said, "I'm just here to watch the fun. Director Liang, you should ask the person involved."

Hearing this, Director Liang understood that Ye Chuan did not want to get involved in these trivial matters, so he nodded and turned to Yi Zhonghai and said, "Master Yi, what's going on in your yard? There are incidents every now and then, what happened today?"

Director Liang's attitude was obviously very rude, completely different from his attitude towards Ye Chuan. Although Yi Zhonghai was unhappy, he could do nothing about it.

"Director Liang, these are just misunderstandings. It's not a big deal. It's normal for neighbors to have some minor frictions."

Unexpectedly, Hu Qiumei refused to give up. She walked up to him and said dissatisfiedly, "Uncle, if this had not happened to you, you would naturally say this. I was almost violated, how can this be considered a misunderstanding?"

When Director Liang heard this, his eyes instantly became serious. Now is the period of severe crackdown, and this kind of thing is a big deal.

Yi Zhonghai quickly said to Hu Qiumei: "Hu Qiumei, stop talking nonsense. You are standing here peacefully, what ** thing can happen?"
