The Great Era of Siheyuan

The more you take a step forward, the broader the world will be; the more you take a step back, the angrier you will get.

When Li Wenqiang returned to the house, he no longer had the "good face" he had outside just now. He looked gloomy and thought about how to take revenge.

He didn't believe in the nonsense that a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. He would take revenge immediately if there was a grudge. If it didn't work, he would take revenge two days later. If it was too long, he would forget about it. What's the point?

Soon after he returned to the house, Xu Damao, who had worked hard all day, saw the deaf old lady sitting at the top seat as soon as he entered the yard. His heart suddenly began to beat rapidly, and he remembered what happened last night. Then he came to his senses and realized why he was panicking. He should be afraid of the deaf old lady now. The deaf old lady would never tell anyone about such things, so what was he afraid of?

Thinking of what happened last night, he still felt a twisted pleasure in his heart. This deaf old lady had often joined forces with Yi Zhonghai to bully him before. When he thought of the way the deaf old lady cried and begged him to let her go last night, he felt an indescribable excitement. This pleasure of revenge was like drinking a bottle of ice water on a hot summer day, refreshing from beginning to end.

When the deaf old lady saw Xu Damao, her eyes were spitting fire. The humiliation in her heart made her want to pounce on him and bite him to death, but she couldn't show any abnormality. If others knew about it, she would have no face to live.

When she was thinking about how to take revenge on Xu Damao, she found that Xu Damao was looking at her with the same burning eyes as he looked at his prey last night. This reminded her of how helpless she was last night. She immediately lowered her head in fear, not daring to look into his eyes.

She lowered her head and thought, she was obviously the victim and the elder in the courtyard, why should she be afraid of Xu Damao? Then she raised her head angrily, but found that Xu Damao showed a winner's smile and looked at her with a playful look.

The deaf old lady turned her head away in panic again. She had seen this kind of look a long time ago. People like this are inhuman.

The two men exchanged glances for several rounds, and Xu Damao ultimately emerged victorious.

Now he has figured out the deaf old lady's background. It turns out that the deaf old lady who has bullied him in the yard for so long is just a bluffing paper tiger, but she and Yi Zhonghai have bullied him for so many years.

Although the two fought for several rounds, it was only a few seconds after all, but to them it felt like a long time had passed.

"Xu Damao, what are you doing standing at the door? Come over and eat quickly. The food will be gone soon. Remember to pay the money later, and don't forget the food!"

Yan Bugui, who was sitting at the door, saw Xu Damao standing and quickly invited him to eat.

"It won't take long. I'll pay it right now. This is all due. Come, Third Uncle, you should take the money. Here, take the money. I'll go home and get the food to make up for it!"

Xu Damao smiled and took out fifty cents from his pocket and handed it to Yan Bugui, then sat down next to the deaf old lady.

"The seats next to it are full, is it okay for me to sit here?"

Xu Damao laughed very happily, but what he was laughing about was very intriguing.

The deaf old lady felt extremely uncomfortable, as if her whole body was being tickled. She put down her chopsticks and wanted to leave.

Seeing this, Xu Damao grabbed her hand.

"Old lady, what do you mean? You left as soon as I arrived. You don't like me at all? If I didn't know, I would think I did something to you!"

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he looked at her straight in the eyes.

"Xu Damao, how do you talk to the old lady? Do you have any manners at all? Hurry up and apologize to the old lady!"

Seeing Xu Damao's sarcastic look, Yi Zhonghai tapped the wine glass in his hand on the table, stood up and questioned him.

"Xu Damao! I think you're itching. Do you want me to loosen your bones?"

When Sha Zhu saw Xu Damao being disrespectful to the deaf old lady, he immediately found an excuse to punish him.

"Second uncle, third uncle, oh~ no, look at my memory, now it's first uncle and second uncle, you two look, I just sat down to eat, did I say anything? I didn't do anything, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu threatened me, it means they don't take you two seriously at all!"

Xu Damao was trying to sow discord with a smile. Yi Zhonghai was nothing without his status as the master in the courtyard. He even dared to yell at him. Who did he think he was?

After saying that, he took the deaf old lady's hand and squeezed it gently without making any expression, then smiled wickedly and looked at them aggressively.

Several people felt that Xu Damao seemed to have changed a little, but they couldn't tell where.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui couldn't help but curl up their lips when Xu Damao said this. Xu Damao usually looks quite frivolous, but he turned out to be quite smart!

After so long in the hospital, he is the only one who changed his words. Although Yi Zhonghai was dismissed, he is still the boss in their hearts. This is a thorn in their hearts. Yi Zhonghai has fallen and still doesn't call them the boss, so what is the difference between being the boss and not being the boss?

"Well, Lao Yi, Xu Damao is right. He didn't do anything. Why do you want him to apologize? Sit down, Xu Damao. Lao Yi is a little excited because he drank too much. Don't take it to heart.

"And you too, Shazhu, from now on, I will be the boss of our courtyard. No, it's me and Old Yan who will be the boss together. You can't threaten Xu Damao like you did before, and you can't do anything to him, understand?"

Liu Haizhong stood up with a smile and pushed Yi Zhonghai down to sit, then warned Sha Zhu, looking like a leader persuading his subordinates.

"Old Liu is right. You must pay attention to this issue in the future. Our courtyard is an advanced courtyard that emphasizes civilization and morality. You must not fight with Xu Damao again in the future. If we find out, don't blame us for punishing you."

Seeing that Liu Haizhong had stolen the show, Yan Bugui was not willing to be left behind, so he immediately followed suit and warned Sha Zhu again.

"Hmph~!"

Sha Zhu didn't take the warnings from the two uncles seriously. He snorted coldly without even looking at them. What the hell are Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui? In his heart, only Yi Zhonghai was the boss in the courtyard.

"I'm fine, stop arguing! Xiaoyi and Zhuzi, you guys continue eating. I just suddenly lost my appetite. I'm going to go back and rest first!"

The deaf old lady said this calmly as she broke free from Xu Damao's hand and ran away trembling.

She didn't know why she felt Xu Damao had become so scary. He was clearly smiling, but she always felt a creepy sense of fear in her heart, as if something bad was going to happen.

"Old lady, how about I give you a ride?"

After saying this, Xu Damao stood up with a smile and pretended to support someone.

Seeing this, the deaf old lady walked faster.

"No, it's just two steps, I can do it myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person disappeared.

Xu Damao looked at the deaf old lady who fled in panic, and he felt relieved. The deaf old lady was afraid of him now, and it would be easier to deal with her in the future.

The others felt that something was not right between the deaf old lady and Xu Damao, but they couldn't put their finger on it.

Before I could think about it, I saw that the people at the table had already started eating, so I joined in. No matter what the problem was, I had to fill my stomach first.
