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

Chapter 151: Fire in the Middle Courtyard

Yi Zhonghai was outwitted by Sha Zhu.

Aren't you always thinking about your apprentice? Then pay the compensation on his behalf. Besides, this is the money he owes you, so you don't have to pay any extra money.

As soon as Sha Zhu said this, Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were all stunned.

Although these words were said to Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu still looked pale.

"Shazhu, you are crazy. You asked for fifty yuan. Do you think I am worth fifty yuan?"

Jia Dongxu was almost out of breath. Compensating Xu Damao had already emptied his family's savings. Now if he wanted to compensate Sha Zhu again, he would probably have to sell his house and his wife.

The same goes for Qin Huairu. Jia Dongxu doesn’t earn much a month now. If he wants to save 50 yuan, his whole family will have to go without food or drink for a year.

"Zhu Zi, this is too much. My family can't afford to pay back such a large sum of money to the old man."

Qin Huairu gently shook Sha Zhu's arm, with a pleading look in her eyes, "Sha Zhu, can I wash your clothes to pay off your debt?"

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's delicate appearance and almost agreed. In the end, he said cruelly, "Hey, Sister Qin, Yi Zhonghai treats Jia Dongxu as half a son. He just lent you the fifty yuan and didn't tell you when to pay it back. Why are you so anxious?"

Yi Zhonghai's face, which had already turned blue with anger, immediately turned darker.

"Okay, silly, I promise you."

Finally, Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and agreed, but then he changed the subject and said, "But do you admit that you broke the window of Dongxu's house?"

As things have developed to this point, Yi Zhonghai no longer hopes to restore his relationship with Sha Zhu, and can only minimize the losses.

When Jia Dongxu heard that Yi Zhonghai agreed to the compensation, he felt relieved.

Everyone in the compound knew that Yi Zhonghai wanted him to take care of him in his old age, and Jia Dongxu knew it even better. He had no intention of paying the money back at all, as long as he verbally expressed that he would pay it back later.

"Silly Zhu, don't deny it. I just had a conflict with you during the day, and my window was smashed at night. Who else could it be but you?"

Jia Dongxu was free of worry and he breathed a sigh of relief that he didn't have to go to the police station.

When he heard Yi Zhonghai mention breaking the glass, he immediately became excited. He had to put the blame on Sha Zhu and maybe even extort some money from him.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were always suppressed by Yi Zhonghai in the compound. When the whole compound meeting was held, Yan Bugui didn't even have the chance to speak.

The reason why Yi Zhonghai was able to control everything in the compound was that Sha Zhu and the deaf old lady played a big role.

Now seeing Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu becoming enemies, they are naturally happy to see it happen.

Liu Haizhong saw that it was time for him to take charge of the situation. Since Jia Dongxu was a member of Yi Zhonghai's faction, he was naturally the target to be attacked: "Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu, you two must understand that you cannot wrongly accuse someone without evidence. I don't need to teach you this!"

"Second Master is more conscious than some people. There is nothing wrong with what he said. Don't say that I didn't break the glass. Even if I did, you have to produce evidence, right?"

Sha Zhu was still worried about paying back Yi Zhonghai's debt, but now he was also in a relaxed mood. "If you can't produce any evidence, you're saying that I smashed it. This is a false accusation. If you frame me again, I will have to report it to the police."

Sha Zhu has tasted the sweetness of reporting to the police, and now he thinks of reporting to the police at every turn.

Wang Dabao sighed again, Sha Zhu was beyond help.

Even if it was you who smashed it, you just need to know the truth. Why the hell do you have to use a metaphor? Are you afraid that people won't suspect you?

When Jia Dongxu heard that Sha Zhu was going to call the police again, the corners of his mouth twitched. He glared at the other party and said nothing.

Yi Zhonghai was breathing heavily and also didn't say anything.

Last time, the window of Sha Zhu’s house was smashed, and we searched for a long time but still couldn’t find anyone. It’s unlikely to be the same this time.

Originally, he just wanted to bluff the other party based on his understanding of Sha Zhu, but he didn't expect Liu Haizhong to jump out and disrupt the situation. It would be a waste of time to continue to pester him now, and he might even be further harmed by Liu Haizhong.

By then, as the manager, I will have no prestige at all in the compound.

"Okay Dongxu, find a piece of cloth to seal the window first, and then find a way to install the glass tomorrow."

Yi Zhonghai took two deep breaths, then looked at the residents of the compound, "Everyone, go back to sleep. This is the end of the matter today. Everyone knows who broke the glass. If you do something like this, be careful of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night."

"Master, I'll help you back."

Jia Dongxu carefully served Yi Zhonghai and walked home with the aunt.

Xu Damao laughed and said, "Jia Dongxu, you better watch your feet and don't let your master Yi Zhonghai fall. He is your family's God of Wealth."

"Get the hell out of here, Xu Damao. I'll kill you if you fall into my hands." Jia Dongxu cursed angrily.

Xu Damao was not annoyed. He just smiled and winked at Wang Dabao, as if to say, "See? This bastard got angry just because of my word."

Wang Dabao was too lazy to pay attention to Xu Damao and turned to walk towards the backyard.

The residents of the compound had seen enough of the excitement and had enough topics for tomorrow, so they dispersed.

Sha Zhu contentedly helped the deaf old lady to the backyard.

Wang Dabao had to go to work the next day, so he fell asleep as soon as he got home. However, he was woken up by the noise in the middle of the night.

When I opened the curtains, I saw the middle courtyard was ablaze with fire.
