Siheyuan: It’s so nice to be Lao Liu

Chapter 4: The Stick Stealer 1

Xu Damao was very excited to see that He Yuzhu received the punishment he deserved. Although it was a pity that Sha Zhu was not caught, he was still quite satisfied. He had been bullied by He Yuzhu since he was a child, and this time he finally got his revenge.

Then he suddenly remembered that although he was the one who did it, the idea was indeed from Yan Jiefang. It seemed that the real smart person in the courtyard was Yan Jiefang!

As Xu Damao walked back, he stroked his mustache, thinking of how Yan Jiefang's "inadvertent" guidance had helped him defeat He Yuzhu. He decided to find some time to make friends with Yan Jiefang and ask him for some advice.

Ten minutes passed in a flash, and when he reached his home, Xu Damao cast his eyes directly at his chicken coop. Originally, the coop contained two old hens that the village commune had given him as a "gift" when he went to the countryside to show a movie. They had been raising them for laying eggs, but they had not expected that one of them was missing.

After learning from Yan Jiefang who stole it, he was no longer anxious. He glanced in the direction of the Jia family and thought to himself, "Let's see how you guys compensate me later!"

Xu Damao went straight to the front yard. He wanted to wait for the three uncles to go to the Jia family together.

After a while, three uncles came into the courtyard one after another. The first uncle Yi Zhonghai and the second uncle Liu Haizhong had just returned to the courtyard when the third uncle Yan Bugui and Yan Jiefang followed.

Seeing the three uncles coming back, Xu Damao pretended to be anxious and said, "Three uncles, please come back. There is a thief in our yard."

Uncle Yi Zhonghai sternly rebuked him, "Xu Damao, don't talk nonsense. Our courtyard is a harmonious and civilized courtyard. How could there be thieves?"

Uncle Yi Zhonghai is a hypocrite and a complete egoist. He has paid a lot to create a false image of a harmonious courtyard. How could he allow Xu Damao to come out and make trouble at this time?

"Uncle, you'll know if I'm talking nonsense for a while." Xu Damao turned his head to look at Uncle No. 2 Liu Haizhong and Uncle No. 3 Yan Bugui and said, "Uncles, today I saw the three brothers and sisters of Banggeng eating beggar's chicken outside the steel mill. I was wondering why this old hen looked so much like the one at my house. When I came back to check, I found that one hen was missing."

"Bang Geng not only stole my chickens, he also went to the steel mill and stole the soy sauce. Tell me what to do with him. I don't want much. Just give me 20 yuan as compensation and I won't pursue the matter."

Before Xu Damao could finish, the third uncle Yan Bugui said, "Xu Damao, an old hen only costs one yuan in the vegetable market, and you asked them to compensate you twenty yuan. Isn't that a bit too much?"

"Xu Damao, the Jia family has had a hard time too. They have an orphan and a widow. I've made the decision. Let the Jia family compensate you one dollar and don't pursue the matter." Uncle Yi Zhonghai also took the opportunity to speak.

"Hey, one dollar? Who are you looking down on, you old man? You are the one who makes the decision. What right do you have to make the decision? Either give me twenty dollars, or I'll call the police and let them handle it." After Yan Jiefang's explanation, Xu Damao suddenly realized that these people couldn't do anything to him. At most, He Yuzhu would beat him up. Beating him up was just right. He would call the police and extort some money.

Second uncle Liu Haizhong would never miss an opportunity to show off. In addition, Xu Damao often sent his family some local specialties from the countryside, so he naturally stood on Xu Damao's side and said, "Let's go, Second uncle will decide for you. As long as you have evidence, you should be punished."

"Thank you, Second Uncle. You are the most fair in our courtyard. You are not like some other uncles who are extremely biased." Xu Damao said as he glanced at First Uncle Yi Zhonghai in a sarcastic tone.

"Xu Damao, I am your elder after all. How can you treat your elders like this? Do you have any filial piety at all?" Yi Zhonghai was almost irritated by Xu Damao's sarcastic words and yelled loudly.

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's helpless and furious look, Xu Damao laughed secretly in his heart. He changed his previous timid style and wanted to challenge the dignity and means of the retirement group in the yard. The result was just as he expected. Without He Yuzhu's thug, they could not deal with him.

"Uncle, you said you are my elder?

But have you ever seen any elders watching their younger generations being bullied and doing nothing?

Have you ever seen elders colluding with outsiders to bully their younger generations?

Elders? Drink, Te!"

Xu Damao's performance directly refreshed the three uncles' understanding of him. In the past, Xu Damao behaved timidly in front of the three uncles, and they could control him however they wanted. But now he has become tough.

Yan Jiefang, who was standing by, was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that after his "guidance", Xu Damao figured it out and finally knew how to resist.

Seeing this, Yan Jiefang quietly pulled Yan Bugui and whispered, "Dad, Xu Damao is a little abnormal. Let's follow his wishes and see what he wants to do."

When Yan Bugui heard this, he felt that what his son said was correct, so he nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Qin Huairu, your Banggeng and his two sisters stole my old hens. Tell me what we should do?" Xu Damao and three uncles were about to go to the central courtyard when Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu happened to come back from get off work at the factory. Xu Damao hurriedly stopped Qin Huairu.

"Xu Damao, what are you doing? Stay away from Sister Qin." When He Yuzhu saw Xu Damao reaching out to stop Qin Huairu, he immediately stepped between Qin Huairu and Xu Damao.

Seeing He Yuzhu rushing up, Xu Damao instinctively stepped back, then thought, if this idiot Zhu dared to hit him, he would send him to jail. Suddenly, his courage surged, and he shouted at He Yuzhu: "I have something to do with Qin Huairu, why are you, a little thief, stopping me?"

Xu Damao looked at the residents around him and felt proud, thinking, "Look, I'll promote you well."

"Dear brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, He Yuzhu has brought honor to our courtyard today. You may not know that just after get off work today, our chef Comrade Sha Zhu was caught by the security guard with a lunch box of braised pork and half a chicken from the cafeteria. Now all the employees of our steel rolling mill know that there is a thief in our Hongxing Courtyard!" Xu Damao would not let go after he had caught He Yuzhu's handle. He wished that He Yuzhu's reputation as a thief would be spread to the whole world.

"Since Shazhu was caught stealing, why wasn't he sent to the security department?" asked a resident living in the front yard.

When Xu Damao saw that there was actually a supporting actor, he immediately replied, "It was Brother Da Hu. This Sha Zhu has a good relationship with Director Yang, so he was protected by him. However, Director Yang did not do it too blatantly. He fined him one month's salary, demoted his chef level to an apprentice, and was not allowed to be promoted within a year. His bonus was waived, and he had to undergo labor reform."

"Xu Damao, stop talking nonsense. It's all because of you that Shazhu was punished. If you hadn't made trouble and opened the lunch box he brought, the security department wouldn't have discovered that he was stealing. He suffered this innocent punishment because of you." Uncle Yi Zhonghai saw that Xu Damao had basically finished talking about He Yuzhu's bad behavior, and immediately jumped out and scolded him.

The actions of the uncle Yi Zhonghai made Yan Jiefang marvel at him. This uncle was really powerful. It could be said that he killed two birds with one stone. He let Xu Damao ruin He Yuzhu's reputation, and then jumped out to scold Xu Damao, leaving a good impression of him in He Yuzhu's mind.

If he destroys He Yuzhu's image, He Yuzhu won't be able to marry a wife, and he can make He Yuzhu obediently support him in his old age. What a calculation!
