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

We compensate you?

Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu looked at Wang Dabao in confusion. How could someone who hit someone demand compensation?

The deaf old lady was not deaf. On the contrary, her ears were quite good. She heard Wang Dabao's words clearly from behind and was so angry that she poked the ground with her cane, making a loud noise.

Several workers almost laughed out loud when they heard what Wang Dabao said.

He beats up someone, and the person who was beaten has to compensate him. What a mean guy!

"I was beaten too, but it wasn't obvious and not that severe." Wang Dabao turned his face to the side and wiped his cheek, as if to say, see, it's here.

Sha Zhu immediately refused to do it and started to curse with his face raised.

"Pillar."

Yi Zhonghai suppressed his anger and reached out to push Sha Zhu, "This is none of your business. Go and help the old lady first, don't let her fall."

Sha Zhu glared at Wang Dabao fiercely and went to the deaf old lady in shame.

Then, Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "Little comrade, there is no need for compensation. You don't look like you are in trouble. There is really no need to make a big deal about this."

"Yes, it was just a few words and disputes. Shazhu was also beaten. Let's just forget about it."

When it comes to compensation, Liu Haizhong decided to stand on the same side with Lao Yi this time.

Wang Dabao looked at the two and shook his head, his tone firm: "Twenty yuan each for the four of you, then go kowtow in front of my uncle's coffin, or I'll report it to the police. It's that simple, you can do whatever you want."

"How many?"

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were dumbfounded, their faces full of astonishment. Even a lion would not open its mouth like this. This was like taking advantage of them.

"impossible."

Liu Haizhong was the first to quit. He no longer looked like he had before. He threw his hand and said, "You are blackmailing me. Do you know how much twenty yuan is? That's a month's food allowance for a family of four. I'll accept two or three cents, but you're not asking for compensation like this."

Wang Dabao spread his hands and said, "Then go to the detention center. If you are sentenced and lose your job, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. It's you who didn't seize it."

Wang Dabao's words once again hit the weak spot of several people.

Work is your lifeblood, and you can’t afford to make any mistakes.

Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai angrily. Yi Zhonghai's face was also livid at this time. "Twenty dollars is too much. Five dollars at most."

"No."

Wang Dabao's face darkened. "I'll give you three minutes to think about it. When the time is up, I'll report it to the police and I won't take the money anymore."

Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong snorted coldly and returned to the deaf old lady and Sha Zhu.

Two minutes later, Yi Zhonghai came back and said, "We don't have that much money. We will give it to you when you get to the compound."

"Don't play dumb with me here. The three of them will stay here, and you go back to get them." Wang Dabao didn't give Yi Zhonghai any chance to get in. "Half an hour should be enough. If you don't come back in half an hour, I will still report it to the police."

"You little comrade..." Yi Zhonghai's face turned even paler. When had he ever been lectured by a young man like this?

"I'll start the timer now."

Wang Dabao interrupted Yi Zhonghai, raised his wrist to check the time, but his wrist was bare.

Damn, I was so careless. I guess I have to get a watch ticket when I have time in the future. As for the money to buy the watch, I'll just get money from these four people in front of me.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Wang Dabao angrily, walked back again, and after saying a few words, he quickly left the mourning hall alone.

Not far away, Liu Haizhong, Sha Zhu and the deaf old lady were whispering to each other and casting murderous glances over here from time to time.

"Good job, nephew."

Uncle Zhang, a fellow worker, walked up to Wang Dabao, sighed, and said, "I've heard your uncle talk about things in the compound in the workshop before. The two uncles in the compound and the old lady over there have been making things difficult for him. Now you have helped him vent his anger."

Wang Dabao's pupils constricted. Before this, he had thought that as long as these people didn't provoke him, he would not get involved in the mess in the compound.

But as soon as my uncle passed away, these people set their sights on the house, and the courtyard was filled with birds.

Now I have seen the three old men in the courtyard, the deaf old lady, and Sha Zhu, but I haven't seen the approachable Jia Zhang, the chaste and heroic woman Qin Huairu, the grateful Xiao Banggeng, and the modest gentleman Xu Damao.

One has to sigh that this Red Star Courtyard is truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, giving birth to so many monsters and demons.

Most of the people living here are not good people. If they don’t have some calculations, they probably won’t survive more than three episodes in this courtyard.

If an honest person moves in, he will be eaten to the bone by this group of people.

"Uncle Zhang, how much do you know about my uncle? Can you tell me about it?" Wang Dabao took out a Daqianmen cigarette and gave one to Uncle Zhang and other workers who came to help.

Uncle Zhang sighed and began to talk to Wang Dabao in a rambling manner.

Among them is the house of the deaf old lady mentioned by Yi Zhonghai just now.

My uncle Wang Zhen’s house is in the northwest corner of the courtyard. It is a small two-room house at the back.

After the marriage, my uncle and aunt saved some money together. Thinking that housing would be tight after they had children, they planned to rent a room from the deaf old lady.

There are more than 20 households in the whole compound, but only Wang Zhen, the deaf old lady, and He Yuzhu own their own houses. The rest all rent houses.

As a result, when Wang Zhen started the construction, the deaf old lady changed her mind and said that Wang Zhen was fooling her, a little old lady. Then she gathered Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Jia Zhangshi and others to support her and forced Wang Zhen to stop the construction.

In the end, Wang Zhen had to pay fifty more yuan before the matter was settled.

"Uncle Zhang, if you had told me about this earlier, these bastards wouldn't be able to get away with it by just giving away twenty bucks." Wang Dabao sucked his teeth. To say that he and Wang Zhen had an uncle-nephew relationship, that wasn't really the case. However, he had inherited a lot of things from the other person, and it would be unreasonable for him not to help him vent his anger.

"I was thinking that you would have to live in that yard in the future, so it's better to have less trouble than more."

Uncle Zhang glanced at Wang Dabao with relief and continued, "Besides, this happened many years ago. If you hadn't asked, I would have almost forgotten it."

Wang Dabao nodded and said nothing more.

Yi Zhonghai was very fast and came back in more than 20 minutes. He wiped the sweat from his head and went to Liu Haizhong and the others.

After a while, he came over with a handful of money and handed it to Wang Dabao with a cold face, "It's exactly eighty yuan, count it."

Of course Wang Dabao wasn't going to be polite with him. He took the money and started counting it.

Yi Zhonghai was in a dilemma, neither leaving nor staying.

"One dollar and seventy cents short."

Wang Dabao was shaking a pile of banknotes in his hands and spoke to Yi Zhonghai with a faint smile on his face.

"It's impossible that there's a shortfall of money." Yi Zhonghai frowned, then added, "80 yuan is short of one dollar and seventy dollars, which is not a big deal. Let's leave it at that."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai turned around and left.

"Snapped."

Wang Dabao threw a handful of money on Yi Zhonghai's back and said, "Not even a penny less. I don't want the money anymore. Just wait to be put in the detention center. If you lose your job, it's your own fault."

Losing my fucking job again.

Yi Zhonghai was almost driven crazy by this, his face was so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it.

Liu Haizhong also ran over, and after asking some questions, he and Yi Zhonghai squatted on the ground and started picking up money.

"Young comrade, I don't know your name yet." Liu Haizhong sorted out the money and handed it to Wang Dabao again, "You are short of 1.7 yuan, right? I'll make up for it."

As he spoke, Liu Haizhong counted out one dollar and seventy cents from his pocket and put it in the money.

"Wang Dabao."

Wang Dabao took the money and started counting it again.

Seeing Wang Dabao counting the money again, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong's eyelids twitched. They had just picked up the money right under this kid's nose, so how could he still count it?

"Five cents short." Wang Dabao said again.

Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai were stunned and said at the same time: "Impossible."

Wang Dabao chuckled and handed a stack of money to the two of them. "Don't worry if you have different opinions. You can count them too."

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong looked at each other, and neither of them dared to take the money.

"Okay, I'll pay for the fifty cents." Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and took out fifty cents from his trouser pocket.

The two of them snorted coldly and turned away.

"Ugh!"

Wang Dabao reminded him, "Don't forget to kowtow to my uncle, otherwise I won't accept the money."

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he staggered and almost fell. It was so damn unlucky that he had to kowtow even after giving the money. However, for the sake of his job, he had to kowtow even if he didn't want to. He even had to go and persuade the old lady.

The four of them chirped crickets not far away for a while, and then came over together to kowtow to Wang Zhen.

It can be seen that several people hate Wang Dabao very much in their hearts, but they have to swallow their anger for the sake of their work.

The deaf old lady was the last one, supported by Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu.

After she kowtowed, the deaf old lady glared at Wang Dabao fiercely, gritting her teeth and cursing, "You little bastard, you shall not die well."

Wang Dabao sighed. Here it comes again.

It was bad enough that he called me a little bastard before, but now he calls me a little beast. He really spoils me.

Wang Dabao put the money away and walked towards the deaf old lady step by step.

Sha Zhu immediately came forward and said, "What, you still want to touch the ancestor?!"

"Snapped!"

Before Sha Zhu could react, Wang Dabao slapped him in the face.

"Fuck you..."

"Snapped!"

Before Sha Zhu could finish his curse, he was slapped again.

"Clap clap clap!"

Five big slaps knocked Shazhu to the ground.

Sha Zhu fell to the ground, protecting his face with his hands, shouting, "Fuck, don't hit me, don't hit me..."

The people standing by were all dumbfounded. It happened so fast that no one could stop it. In the end, Wang Dabao kicked Sha Zhu in the stomach.

Wang Dabao looked at the deaf old lady with a smile.

"Old man, this time I'll let your stupid grandson take the beating for you. Next time you dare to scold me, you'll be the one to be beaten. I said, no one can stop me."

The deaf old lady was so frightened that her whole body was shaking. She opened and closed her mouth but couldn't utter a word.
