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

Sha Zhu returned to the middle courtyard with his bandaged arm.

It was past dinner time, and Sha Zhu went straight to the east wing of Yi Zhonghai's house.

The door was ajar. I pushed it open and saw that an old man, an old woman and a deaf lady had not eaten yet. It seemed they were waiting for Sha Zhu to come back.

"Zhu Zi, how is the injury on your arm?"

Yi Zhonghai saw Sha Zhu push the door open and immediately stood up to check, "What did the doctor say? How long will it take to recover?"

An old lady and a deaf woman also stood up and came to Sha Zhu.

"Zhu Zi, grandma will never let you suffer any injustice. This incident is too big and has a great impact on Zhonghai. Next time, grandma will find an opportunity to avenge you."

"Zhu Zi, you must be very hungry. Come sit down and eat while we talk."

The deaf old lady felt heartbroken when she saw Sha Zhu's plastered arm looking like a big hammer.

After sitting down, Sha Zhu spoke slowly: "Fortunately, Xu Damao's grandson hit my right hand, otherwise I would have trouble flipping the spoon in the future."

"And the doctor said I was injured again. Originally, I could recover in a month, and cooking wouldn't be a problem, but after being injured again, it will probably take two or three months to heal."

"I suspect it was Wang Dabao's grandson who did something bad and kicked me hard on the arm."

As Sha Zhu spoke, his teeth clenched with a sound.

"I didn't expect Wang Dabao to be even more vicious than Xu Damao. But Zhuzi, since we can't produce evidence, we can't confront him about this matter. You must not act rashly."

Yi Zhonghai pondered for a moment, "Zhu Zi, don't go to work tomorrow. Just stay at home and recover from your injuries. I will go to the logistics department to ask for leave for you."

"That's all it can do now."

Sha Zhu sighed, "However, Xu Damao beat me up like this, so he has to compensate me for the 46 yuan medical fee and lost wages, right?!"

"That's right, Zhong Hai, Zhuzi was injured like this, but it was that little beast Xu Damao who beat him. He deserves compensation." The deaf old lady said nearby.

"We must fight for compensation, but you all know what kind of person Xu Fugui is. If you want to get less compensation from him, it's fine. But if you want more, it's harder than cutting off his flesh."

Yi Zhonghai also wanted to get more compensation for Sha Zhu, but he got a headache when he thought that the other party was Xu Fugui. When this old guy was young, he was even more of a jerk than Xu Damao. "It's a bit difficult to get too much, but fifty or sixty yuan should be enough."

"By the way, Zhuzi, what was the dispute between you and Xu Damao about? He can't just come up and hit you with an iron rod!"

Yi Zhonghai still doesn't know the reason from the time the incident happened to now.

The incident happened suddenly. Later, when Sha Zhu went to the hospital, Xu Damao's face was swollen like a pig's head and he had difficulty speaking. Now he finally had the opportunity to ask him clearly.

"Well, to be honest, I'm still a little confused."

Thinking of the beating, Sha Zhu immediately said angrily: "I had just come back from get off work when Xu Damao blocked me at the door of my house. That grandson asked me why I spread rumors in the yard that he was extinct. He said that I was jealous of him because of his blind date and wanted to settle the score with me."

"He also said that he kicked him in the crotch on purpose last time, just to make him a dead family."

Sha Zhu's injury was on his right hand, which affected his eating a little. He kept talking while picking up food.

Sha Zhu kept calling the whole family a "wild family". The more Yi Zhonghai listened, the uglier his expression became. An old lady's face was also so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to drip out of it. The deaf old lady was so angry that she stomped her crutches.

If these three people didn't know Sha Zhu, they would definitely think that he was making a veiled attack.

It’s simple, these three people are all extinct!

It was the deaf old lady who gave Sha Zhu a light kick under the table that finally made him react. He was so scared that he quickly put down his chopsticks and explained: "Uncle, Auntie, please understand, I didn't mean anything else. That's what my grandson said."

"I didn't spread the rumor, of course I won't admit it, but Xu Damao insisted that I was the one spreading it, and he hit me with an iron rod. Fortunately, you came back from get off work, otherwise I would be in trouble."

"Then who did Xu Damao hear that you were spreading the news?"

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about the family being wiped out, and then asked.

"I forgot to ask that. I was just denying it at the time, but Xu Damao wouldn't give in. So I just said, 'I said it, so what?' And I got hit with a stick."

"You..."

Yi Zhonghai reached out and tapped He Yuzhu twice, "Why are you blindly admitting it if you didn't do it? You won't be able to explain yourself later."

"I was angry at the time, so I said a few words to Xu Damao."

Sha Zhu muttered quietly, and then said again, "By the way, uncle, I ran into Wang Dabao when I came back just now. Yu Li said that Yan Bugui wanted to discuss something with Wang Dabao. Do you think it's about the meeting?"

"It's very likely that Old Yan is a petty person who likes to take advantage. He probably doesn't want to let Old Liu's family off at the meeting."

Yi Zhonghai sighed, "Old Yan and Old Liu are both the senior officials in charge of the hospital, why is there such a big difference between them? Didn't Old Liu get beaten too? Why didn't he ask Xu Damao to pay compensation?"

"This is the gap. Even though you are injured, you are still trying your best to mediate the conflicts between neighbors. We should all learn from you." Sha Zhu flattered Yi Zhonghai, who felt very comforted.

After a while, Yi Zhonghai put down his bowl and chopsticks, frowning: "Wang Dabao is just a troublemaker. He deliberately reminded you of the last time you and Xu Damao had a fight and lost money. I guess Xu Fugui and his son will definitely use the five dollars to make a fuss this time."

"That won't do, Zhong Hai. Zhuzi spent more than 40 yuan on the hospital treatment this time."

The deaf old lady was anxious, and gritted her teeth and said, "If Xu Fugui doesn't pay me back, I will hit my head against his doorstep and die."

The lady said quickly, "Oh, old lady, don't worry. Zhonghai treats Zhuzi like his own son and can make him suffer. Just wait and see."

......

The middle courtyard is much larger than the front and back courtyards, and all meetings are held in the middle courtyard.

The fight that happened today has stirred the gossip nerves of all the residents in the compound.

After dinner, everyone hurriedly brought stools and mats to the central courtyard to reserve seats. Families with large numbers of people even brought long benches.

During previous meetings, it was Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu who moved tables and chairs for the three uncles. Now that Sha Zhu was injured, the task fell on Jia Dongxu alone.

Moreover, the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Bugui, as parties involved in the fight, did not sit on either side of Yi Zhonghai to avoid suspicion, but sat together with the group below.

Seeing that most people had arrived, Yi Zhonghai cleared his throat and briefly explained what had happened today.

Finally, the topic returned to Xu Damao, the person who started the trouble.

"Xu Damao, you said He Yuzhu spread rumors about you in the hospital, do you have any evidence?"

"I won't do anything without evidence."

Xu Damao stood up and sat in the front row. He spoke more fluently this time than before. "It was about the day before yesterday. Wang Dabao and I went back to the backyard together. When we passed the middle yard, we heard Jia Zhang scolding me for extinction."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Wang Dabao. This is absolutely true."

"Wait a minute, Xu Damao, since it was Jia Zhang who cursed you for extinction, how can you say that it was Sha Zhu who spread the rumor?" Yi Zhonghai was a little confused as to how this matter got involved with Jia Zhang again.

Jia Zhang, who was watching the fun from below, also stared with her triangular eyes and looked confused.

Have I ever cursed Xu Damao for making his family extinct?

How come you're eating the melon and then eating yourself?
