Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

"Silly Zhu! What the hell are you talking about!"

The long-faced young man, Xu Damao, was hit head-on as soon as he walked out of the hall. He immediately jumped up in anger.

"Hahaha~"

Sha Zhu put one hand on his waist and used the other hand to comb his hair beside his face. He said with a wild smile: "Aren't you a catfish? Your beard is so long. Come on, walk a few steps and see if the catfish beard will move."

As he spoke, he laughed and asked Jia Dongxu, who heard his laughter and came out to see, "Brother Jia, tell me, does Xu Damao look like a catfish?"

When asked this question, Jia Dongxu didn't know what expression to make. He wished he hadn't walked out out of curiosity just now.

Yi Zhonghai, who also came out to check the situation, coughed lightly and stopped him, "Silly Zhu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Then he turned to Xu Damao and said, "Da Mao, you are back from studying. Are you going to study again next year?"

Being interrupted like this, Xu Damao glared at Sha Zhu, still obviously very angry, but subconsciously stroked both sides of his beard...

His subconscious action caused the onlookers in the yard to burst into laughter, with Sha Zhu laughing the loudest among them.

"Look at this, doesn't it look more like a catfish? Am I right? It's a catfish spirit."

"Ahhh~ I'm going to fight you~"

Being ridiculed like this, Xu Damao was really angry to death. He dropped his bag and rushed towards Sha Zhu.

Chen Zhaodi quickly threw away the basin and the half-killed fish, and rushed towards the west wing with a knife in hand, then stood on the steps and looked down.

Xu Damao had already rushed over with his fists clenched, looking like he wanted to punch Sha Zhu, but Sha Zhu still had a smile on his face, took a step back, and was ready to defend himself.

The people around were just watching the fun. After all, they had been used to seeing fights between these boys since childhood.

Soon, the two were about to fight.

However, accidents always happen inadvertently, and here it was because there was a basin blocking Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.

Xu Damao, who disliked the basin being in the way, kicked the basin away when he rushed over, and continued to rush forward. Then his feet slipped, and his fists turned into waving his hands for support.

Sha Zhu was also a coward. He didn't fight back at this time. He quickly took several steps back, then watched Xu Damao lose his balance, and fell to the ground with a plop.

The onlookers laughed even louder.

Chen Zhaodi screamed, "My basin!"

She quickly rushed down the stairs, squatted down, grabbed the basin that was kicked away, picked up the chicken and fish to check, and was relieved when she found that there was no damage. She was just anxious for a moment, and her red eyes had not yet calmed down.

"Da Mao, what happened to you? Who hit you?"

A scream suddenly came from the direction of the Moon Gate. Chen Zhaodi turned her head and saw Aunt Xu running towards her from the Moon Gate screaming, followed by Xu Fugui, who also looked nervous.

At this moment, Xu Damao was lying on the ground in the northern half of the pool, while Chen Zhaodi was squatting in the southern half of the pool with a knife in her hand. The knife in her hand was still stained with blood from killing fish just now. She was tilting her head and looking at Xu Damao (fog).

Aunt Xu didn't know the whole story. As soon as she came out of the Moon Gate, she saw her son lying on the ground. She was worried whether Xu Damao might be in trouble. However, after seeing the situation clearly, her legs felt a little weak.

She took a few tentative steps towards Xu Damao, and said to Chen Zhaodi with a stiff face, "Zhaodi, if there is anything, let's talk it out. Can you, can you put down the knife first?"

Chen Zhaodi was initially puzzled by Aunt Xu's actions, but as soon as she heard what she said, she immediately understood and didn't know what to say for a moment.

So he said with a blank face: "It's not me. It has nothing to do with me."

As he spoke, he raised his knife maliciously and said, "I just killed a fish, and Damao kicked my basin and broke it, along with the chicken and the fish."

This time everyone came to their senses and started laughing again.

Sha Zhu said, "Aunt Xu, don't worry, Chen Zhaodi didn't want to kill your son. Your son fell by himself, right, Xu Damao." As he said that, he couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

Xu Damao was both ashamed and angry. He was helped to get up by Aunt Xu. He looked down and saw a lot of fish scales on his feet and pants. Now he understood why he slipped and couldn't stand steadily just now.

Xu Fugui asked with a stern face: "Da Mao, you were fine, why did you slip?"

Aunt Xu now realized that she had made a mistake and immediately became bolder and glared at Chen Zhaodi.

Yi Zhonghai said, "Hey, Shazhu played a joke on Damao, and Damao rushed over. Unexpectedly, he stepped on the fish scales that Zhaodi had spilled on the ground and fell down."

Chen Zhaodi cursed inwardly, "What the hell, the fish scales that Chen Zhaodi threw on the ground, did she throw them there? They were left on the ground when she killed the fish, and it looked like she threw them there on purpose to make Damao fall."

Then Xu Damao yelled, "Who is kidding him? He was obviously scolding me. I just came back and didn't say anything, but he scolded me."

Sha Zhu shouted even louder than him: "Who the hell scolded you? Didn't they just say you were a catfish spirit? You look like a catfish, and you don't allow others to say it."

"You are the catfish spirit, and your whole family are catfish spirits." Xu Damao was so angry that he jumped up again.

"Those whiskers of yours are just catfish whiskers. If you don't want people to call you that, why don't you grow those whiskers? If you grow them, you'll be a catfish spirit."

"Alright. Stop arguing."

Yi Zhonghai interrupted the two people's quarrel: "Silly Zhu, I have to criticize you here. How can you, how can you use this to attack others? We can live in the same yard. If we don't say that we should love each other and live in harmony, at least we can be polite to each other, right? You should apologize to Damao quickly."

Sha Zhu immediately stiffened his neck and said, "Why? He looks like a catfish, and people are not allowed to say that."

Xu Fugui was furious and pointed at Sha Zhu with shaking fingers. Aunt Xu screamed and wanted to rush over to beat Sha Zhu. Yi Zhonghai saw this and was about to step forward to stop them, but stopped in the end.

When He Yushui heard Sha Zhu making fun of Xu Damao, she ran out. When Xu Damao fell, she was already standing next to Sha Zhu. At this time, she saw Aunt Xu rushing over, so she quickly stood in front of Sha Zhu, opened her arms and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Aunt Xu, my brother is so stupid that he doesn't even know what he said. I apologize to you on his behalf."

He Yushui's performance shocked everyone in the yard.

Ever since He Daqing left, this girl has been staying in her own east and north wing rooms every day except for going to school. Although she has lived there for more than ten years, she is actually not as familiar with the people in the compound as Qin Huairu, who has been married for less than three years.

I didn't expect her to come out and apologize at this moment.

Aunt Xu didn't want to hit He Yushui, who was standing in front of her. Although He Yushui was almost the same height as her, he was still an elementary school student. She felt uncomfortable if she didn't hit him.

Who was Shazhu to let his sister protect him from disaster? He stretched out his hand and made He Yushui stagger. He said angrily: "Why are you apologizing to me? What did I say wrong? He is just like a catfish."

"Ahhh~" This time, the Xu family's father and son could not bear it anymore and they all rushed up and were about to hit Sha Zhu. Aunt Xu also reached out to scratch Sha Zhu, but was stopped by He Yushui who held her waist tightly from behind. All of a sudden, the five people from the two families fought into two groups.
