Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

After hearing Erleng's words, Xu Damao was stunned.

I couldn't help but wonder, was it really me who was tricked by Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu?

"No..No way?"

Recalling the situation at that time, Xu Damao still couldn't believe it.

"Old Third, do you also think I was tricked?"

"Ok!"

The third brother nodded.

"Brother Zheng, please help me analyze this."

Xu Damao still couldn't believe it. This time he was not only beaten, but also had to pay a hundred yuan in compensation.

"Da Mao, were you facing away from Sha Zhu's family at that time?"

Liu Guozheng thought for a moment and asked.

"Yes, I turned my back to Sha Zhu's family and faced Qin Huairu."

"That means Qin Huairu can see clearly when Shazhu will come out."

"Ah."

"Think carefully, when you were helping Qin Huairu wring her clothes, did Qin Huairu behave in any unusual way?"

"Abnormal behavior? Does smiling at me and winking at me count?"

"Da Mao, are you sure he is smiling at you?"

"Of course. Qin Huairu and I are face to face. If she doesn't smile at me, who else can she smile at? Are you stupid?"

"Yes, you are right. He smiled at Shazhu. It was obvious that they had discussed it."

"Brother Zheng, this is not right. He must be smiling at me. I am much more handsome than Sha Zhu."

After saying that, Xu Damao touched his mustache, which he grew specially. In order to make it grow quickly, he even found a folk remedy, which was to apply ginger. That's how he got the mustache he has now.

"Forehead...."

Liu Guozheng was speechless.

"Let me put it this way, after Qin Huairu laughed, she suddenly lost her strength and was taken into your arms."

"Huh? It seems to be true."

"Then, did Sha Zhu yell, 'Xu Damao, you bad guy, how dare you tease Sister Qin?' And then you were beaten down with a stick?"

"Brother Zheng, how did you know? Were you also in the courtyard at that time?"

"After you were beaten, did Sha Zhu drag you to the police station?"

"Yes."

"In the end, Qin Huairu stopped him, saying it was a misunderstanding. She was afraid that if things got out of hand, he would be too embarrassed to go out."

"Correct."

"Qin Huairu must have had tears in her eyes when she said this, and the tears were rolling in her eyes but they just wouldn't fall."

"Brother Zheng, it's really amazing, it's like this."

"Later, did Yi Zhonghai, the old mule, come out and scold you first, and then said that for the sake of the reputation of the Siheyuan, he would ask you to pay some money to settle the matter privately."

"Yes, I also noticed that the old man Yi Zhonghai glanced at Qin Huairu's headlights from time to time."

"In the end, Sha Zhu said he would definitely pay several hundred dollars, but you didn't want to, so Yi Zhonghai made you pay a hundred, and you agreed."

"Uh-huh."

"What did your father say afterwards?"

"Alas, my father told me to stay away from them and not to help them even if asked."

"Didn't your father think of venting his anger for you?"

"My father had no choice. There were no witnesses at the time. My father said, just consider it as paying for a lesson."

"Now you understand that you have been tricked, right?"

"Uh-huh."

Xu Damao nodded, feeling very uncomfortable. He went there sincerely to help this time and had no intention of taking advantage. Damn, the first time he did a good deed, he was tricked by others.

"However, the next day, rumors about Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu spread in Nanluoguxiang. This can be regarded as revenge for me."

"Come on, come on, let's not talk about this unhappy thing, let's continue."

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he refilled everyone's glasses and continued drinking.

After taking a sip of wine, Liu Guozheng smiled slightly.

I understand. This is Xu Fugui's means of revenge, but he can only do this much.

People like Xu Fugui, Yi Zhonghai, and Yan Bugui all like to play dirty and like to scheme against others, but the things they scheme against are different. People like them are best at talking, and that's all they have, which is to ruin the reputation of others.

This trick is very effective for most people, especially those born in the 1950s and 1960s, who care most about reputation, and reputation is the best amulet in this era. Therefore, most people who meet Yi Zhonghai will basically be kidnapped by his morality.

"Da Mao, Jia Dongxu was sentenced, but didn't the steel mill fire him?"

The question that Liu Guozheng suddenly thought of was that now that Jia Dongxu was in jail, the Jia family would lose their source of income and how would they live?

"Of course she was fired. But I don't know whose connections Qin Huairu found to get her into the factory as an apprentice, working under that old mule Yi Zhonghai."

"Haha, who else could it be besides Yi Zhonghai?"

"Damn, does Yi Zhonghai have that much power?"

"Maybe."

Liu Guozheng did not make any comment on this matter.

Because of false accusation, Jia Dongxu was sentenced to one and a half years in prison. The next day, the steel mill punished Jia Dongxu by directly firing him and depriving him of his job position.

The Jia family’s only source of livelihood was gone.

Jia Zhang cursed at Yi Zhonghai's door for several days, but to no avail. Yi Zhonghai just closed the door and ignored her or scolded her, leaving Jia Zhang to mess around in the central courtyard.

In the end, it was Qin Huairu who went to find Yi Zhonghai in person. No one knew what the specific transaction between the two was except the parties involved.

Just after Qin Huairu found Yi Zhonghai, she was arranged to work in the factory the next day and learned locksmithing from Yi Zhonghai.

It was announced to the public that the factory had comprehensively considered the Jia family's situation and rescinded the punishment of depriving the Jia family of their work positions.

"Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng, what are you thinking about? You've been drinking."

Liu Guozheng came to his senses and found that one of the four had left. This time, only Liu Guozheng, Lao San, Erlang and Xu Damao were drinking. Li Xiangdong's wife was not feeling well, so he stayed at home with her.

"Brother Zheng, I want to ask you for something."

"Da Mao, you go ahead."

"Brother Zheng, can I stay in our village for a while?"

"What? You don't even dare to go home?"

"Oh, no, I just want to learn some skills from Lao San. After I learn well, it won't be so easy for Sha Zhu to beat me again."

"Da Mao, practicing martial arts is very tiring, and it also requires long, uninterrupted practice. If you don't have talent, even if you practice for a year, there will be no effect."

"Brother Zheng, is it really that difficult?"

Xu Damao didn't believe that others could do it. He saw it last time, a ten-year-old child could practice it quite well.

"You'll know whether it's difficult or not after you practice it. In fact, it all depends on whether you can persist."

"Brother Zheng, yes, I can definitely hold on."

"I hope so. To be honest, as long as you can hold on for half a year and train your body well, with your head, you should have no problem beating the stupid pillar."

At least Liu Guozheng thought there was no problem, because Xu Damao was a head taller than Sha Zhu, just with some difference in strength.

As the only son of the Xu family, Xu Damao had never suffered from hardship since he was a child. After graduation, he followed Lao Xu to learn projection technology. Except for the time when he went to the countryside to work, he did nothing else at other times.

Moreover, Xu Damao had some special hobbies, which resulted in his poor health.

Sha Zhu is different. He has been learning cooking from He Daqing since he was a child. Now he is the head chef in the kitchen. After years of cooking, he has naturally developed strength. At least his hands must have considerable strength.

"Brother Zheng, believe it or not, I can definitely hold on."

After drinking a glass of wine, Xu Damao said hatefully.

Liu Guozheng asked, "Da Mao, should we ask Lao San to call you tomorrow morning?"

"what?"

Xu Damao was confused. He just wanted to learn Kung Fu, but getting up so early in the morning in winter was a bit difficult.

"Ah, what? It's settled. Since you said you want to learn, if you don't get up when the third brother calls you, don't cry when you get beaten."

Liu Guozheng said unhappily.

"Xu Damao, I advise you, when the third brother calls you, you'd better get up obediently, because he will really beat you up."

Erlang has a deep understanding of this problem. At the beginning, he would be beaten by Lao San every morning and then carried and thrown into the fish pond. Now he is used to it and can get up. However, basically no one gets up early to exercise now, except Lao San and Chen Huwei.

"This? Okay, I'll try."

Xu Damao was a little lacking in confidence.

"Come, come, come, drink this last cup, and then go back and have a good rest."

"Done."

"Dry."
