Siheyuan: After I moved in, the compound became a mess

After discussion, Sha Zhu paid a total of 100 yuan for compensation for the furniture and the rest was borne by the Jia family.

If Sha Zhu hadn't been injured and had difficulty moving around in the police station, he would never have paid the extra fifty yuan.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai still needs to help advance this money, and then he will pay it back slowly after Sha Zhu comes out.

After leaving the police station, the master and disciple Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu did some calculations on the way back to the compound and concluded that they would need to give Xu Damao more than 300 yuan. Excluding the 100 yuan from Sha Zhu, the Jia family would have to pay 200 yuan.

Jia Dongxu's eyes went dark and he almost went to see Lao Jia.

He had just been demoted and fined three months' salary, and now this kind of thing has happened to him. How is his family going to live?

Yi Zhonghai held Jia Dongxu's arm and said, "Dongxu, go back and talk to your mother. He should have money. This matter concerns Banggeng's future. We still have to take care of the child. The money has been spent and we can earn it later."

"Master, I'm afraid my mother can't afford that much. Xu Damao is too cruel. How can he ask for 200 yuan right away?"

Jia Dongxu's heart was bleeding. Now his salary had been reduced. How long would it take him to earn these two hundred yuan?

"Let's see how much your mother has first. I don't have much on hand. Zhuzi just asked me to help him out with the money, and he will pay me back slowly after the salary is paid."

Yi Zhonghai let out a long breath, "Before, I offered to compensate him with twenty dollars, but Xu Damao just said he would consider it and didn't refuse it outright. It seems that someone gave him some advice during this period, so he insisted on asking for two hundred dollars."

After Yi Zhonghai's reminder, Jia Dongxu also reacted: "Master, who do you think this person is?"

"Who else could it be? Can't you tell who Xu Damao has been close to recently?"

"I knew it was that bastard Wang Dabao."

Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth and said, "This guy is really not a good guy. He is everywhere. If it weren't for him, how could I be demoted? And this time, I wouldn't have caught Banggen so quickly."

"Your foot injury hasn't healed yet, sit down here and rest for a while."

Yi Zhonghai helped Jia Dongxu sit on a big rock on the side of the road, then took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to his apprentice.

Jia Dongxu took the cigarette and then reacted. He hadn't seen his master smoking for years: "Master, this...didn't you quit smoking?"

"I've been having a lot of troubles lately, so I just bought a pack."

After Yi Zhonghai lit the match, he handed it to Jia Dongxu, "Speaking of Wang Dabao, Old Yan and Old Liu have been very close to this guy recently. There is a hint that they are following his lead. I thought about it all night that day, but I couldn't figure it out."

"My prestige in the community has been declining recently. Although I haven't seen or heard anything, I can guess that many neighbors will talk about me behind my back, and maybe even scold me."

Jia Dongxu smoked silently, he could feel what Yi Zhonghai said.

Before, the neighbors had never openly opposed Yi Zhonghai, and even Liu Haizhong could only do some small things in secret.

But ever since Wang Dabao moved into the compound, more things have been happening in the compound, and Yan Bugui, Xu Damao, and Liu Haizhong seem to be getting closer to Wang Dabao, which is not a good sign.

"Master, we have to think of a solution."

"Wang Dabao is not a pushover. If you want to deal with him, you have to think long and hard!"

After a while, the master and disciple got up and continued to rush towards the courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai supported Jia Dongxu and walked into the courtyard, where they saw Wang Dabao, Yan Bugui and Xu Damao sitting happily chatting at the door of Yan Bugui's house.

"Hey, Lao Yi, why are you and Dong Xu back at this time?"

When Yan Bugui saw the two of them, he stood up and approached them, "Dongxu, your leg hasn't healed yet, why don't you use a crutch? It's not shabby."

Yi Zhonghai first glanced at Wang Dabao and Xu Damao who were sitting still, and then he answered Yan Bugui: "Dongxu and I asked for leave this afternoon. We just went to the police station to check on Zhuzi and Banggeng. The walk was a bit long, and Dongxu's feet couldn't take it."

Yi Zhonghai then looked at Xu Damao and said, "Do you have anything to do this afternoon? If not, please submit the letter of apology. Dongxu and I agree to your compensation conditions."

"Row."

When Xu Damao heard this, his horse face broke into a smile.

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "Dongxu and I will go to your house to find you later."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai supported Jia Dongxu and went to the central courtyard.

"Brother Dabao, you are right."

Xu Damao rubbed his hands vigorously. "I, Xu Damao, always keep my word. You will get eighty of the two hundred yuan in compensation. I will prepare some delicious dishes and drinks tonight."

"Hey, wait, why is there Brother Dabao here?" Yan Bugui was a little confused, "Also, take me with you that night, I'll bring the wine."

"Uncle, you're the only one who dares to drink that wine. I guess you don't even know how much water is mixed in it."

Xu Damao felt a little elated when he thought about the compensation he was about to receive. "Why don't you ask Auntie San to fry some peanuts and bring them over?"

Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses, hesitated for two seconds, and nodded resolutely: "Okay, it's settled. By the way, you haven't mentioned the 80 yuan yet?"

"Well, that's what happened..."

Xu Damao tilted his head and spoke rapidly, and Yan Bugui finally understood.

It turns out that Wang Dabao earned eighty yuan just by talking. This is much easier than the last time he cooperated with me.

"Well, let's not talk about it for now. I have to go home and wait for these two people."

Xu Damao said goodbye to the two of them, pushed his bicycle back to the backyard.

"This bicycle is such a great thing!" Yan Bugui looked at Xu Damao's disappearing back with envy, then turned around and looked at Wang Dabao's bicycle parked aside.

"Huh."

Wang Dabao stood up and prepared to leave, "If you live this way, Old Yan, you can buy a bicycle next year."

"Even if I have the money to buy a car, I still don't have a ticket."

"Then just buy a second-hand one. It's cheap and you can just clean it and use it again."

Watching Wang Dabao pushing the cart away, Yan Bugui's mind was still echoing the last sentence: Just buy it and wipe it and use it!

Yan Bugui slapped his forehead and thought, Dabao is so smart, if it doesn't work, just buy a second-hand one, fix it up properly, and make sure it's as good as new.

The most important thing is that it is cheap and you don’t need a ticket.

Yan Bugui seemed to be possessed, and his mind was full of bicycles.

The Jia family in the middle courtyard.

Not long after Jia Dongxu returned home, he heard Jia Zhang's yelling and Qin Huairu's sobbing from the house.

Ten minutes later, Jia Dongxu went out and went straight to Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Master, my mother only has a little over 130 yuan, so I have to borrow some from you."

Yi Zhonghai had already anticipated such a result. What was rare was that Jia Zhang was willing to pay more than 100 yuan, which was enough to show the importance of Banggeng.

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "I have prepared some too. Let's go and take a look at Xu Damao."

"Master, thank you. I will definitely return the money to you as soon as possible."

Jia Dongxu thanked Yi Zhonghai repeatedly, but it was unknown whether he was sincere or not.
