Siheyuan: Kill Jia Dongxu at the beginning and kill the deaf old lady

Xu Damao lowered his head and walked out of the yard quickly, thinking that he must find a way today and not be so passive. He walked on the street, thinking about it constantly.

When Xu Damao arrived at the company, he saw his colleagues working enthusiastically. He decided to start with his work and strive to make some achievements to win the respect of his colleagues. He secretly made up his mind to perform well at work and thereby improve his status.

Xu Damao began to work hard and was no longer lazy like before. He worked overtime, tried his best to complete every task, and even took the initiative to undertake some difficult tasks. Although he still had a lot of resentment towards Yi Zhonghai, he knew that he had to become stronger now in order to have a chance of revenge.

As time went by, Xu Damao's efforts were gradually recognized by his colleagues. They began to look at him with new eyes and thought that he really wanted to do a good job. Xu Damao was very proud and felt that his plan was being realized step by step.

However, he also knew that it was not enough to rely on work performance alone. To truly get rid of Yi Zhonghai's suppression, he needed more chips. He began to pay attention to every move in the courtyard, looking for every possible opportunity.

Finally, one day, he heard that Yi Zhonghai had to go out for a few days because of family matters. Xu Damao was delighted and thought this was a great opportunity. He decided to take advantage of Yi Zhonghai's absence to do some small things to weaken Yi Zhonghai's prestige in the courtyard.

Xu Damao began to spread rumors about Yi Zhonghai in the yard, saying that he had an improper relationship outside and even stole public property. He told the story vividly and pretended to be careless so that other neighbors could hear him.

At first, everyone was skeptical about these rumors, but as Xu Damao kept repeating them, some people gradually began to waver. Seeing this, Xu Damao worked harder to spread rumors and even forged some evidence in an attempt to completely bring down Yi Zhonghai.

A few days later, Yi Zhonghai came back. As soon as he entered the yard, he felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. The neighbors looked at him strangely, as if they were avoiding him. Yi Zhonghai felt something was wrong, but he did not react immediately, but observed secretly.

Soon, he discovered Xu Damao's little trick. Yi Zhonghai sneered in his heart, thinking that Xu Damao was simply courting death. He decided to teach Xu Damao a thorough lesson and let him know what the sky is high and the earth is thick.

Yi Zhonghai found several respected elders in the courtyard and told them everything Xu Damao had done. The elders were furious and believed that Xu Damao was destroying the harmony of the courtyard and must be severely punished.

So, one evening, a meeting was held in the courtyard, and all the residents attended. At the meeting, Yi Zhonghai calmly stated what Xu Damao had done and produced the evidence he had forged.

Faced with overwhelming evidence, Xu Damao panicked. He knew that he was completely screwed this time. He tried to defend himself, but his voice seemed so weak amid the accusations of the crowd.

Finally, everyone unanimously decided to severely punish Xu Damao. Xu Damao lowered his head and accepted the result. He knew that he had really offended Yi Zhonghai this time and there was no chance of turning things around.

In the courtyard, people were increasingly dissatisfied with Xu Damao, who felt that he had become more and more arrogant after becoming the director of the steel mill. When everyone gathered together, they would often mention his name and discuss his recent actions.

"Xu Damao has really become a different person now," said Grandpa Zhang, shaking his head and sighing as he rubbed his pipe. "Although he had some minor problems before, at least he could still show some compassion. Now, he has even lost his sense of friendship with his neighbors."

Aunt Li took over the conversation: "That's right, my son works in the factory. These few days he comes home and keeps telling me how Director Xu scolds people in the factory. One time he even deducted half a month's salary for a small mistake. How can he live like this?"

Since Xu Damao was promoted to the director of the steel mill, he seems to have changed completely. His original humility and modesty are gone, replaced by a condescending attitude. Not only is he strict with the workers in the factory, but he is also cold and unkind to his neighbors in the courtyard. Those co-workers who once worked together with him can only bow their heads and avoid him when they see him.

"Last time I asked him for a favor, he didn't even look at me," Uncle Li said angrily, "Just because I'm not from the factory, he looks down on me. He used to come to my house for dinner often."

Such voices became more and more common in the courtyard, and Xu Damao's image became increasingly negative in the minds of his neighbors. However, Xu Damao did not seem to realize this, or he simply did not care. He drove his car every day and wore a well-tailored suit, as if he was out of tune with this civilian courtyard.

Once, an old lady passed away in the courtyard, and everyone gathered together to see her off. However, Xu Damao did not attend this important occasion due to some trivial matters, and did not even say a word of condolence. This made many people feel heartbroken.

Uncle Wang is an old resident of the courtyard, and he is most impressed by Xu Damao's change. He said: "The world has really changed. In the past, everyone lived together in this courtyard, helping each other. If someone had a problem, everyone would lend a hand. Now Xu Damao is a director, and he thinks he is superior to others."

"He forgot who helped him rescue his little son from the river," Aunt Liu couldn't help but interrupt, "If everyone hadn't helped him, his little son would have died long ago."

Despite this, Xu Damao still looked indifferent. Perhaps in his opinion, he no longer needed to care about these people now that he had power. However, he overlooked a truth: people's hearts are exchanged for people's hearts, and they remain unchanged for fifty years. No one wants to get along with a person who only knows how to exert pressure and has no warmth.

One day, the water supply in the courtyard suddenly stopped. Everyone was worried about it and ran outside with buckets to fetch water. However, Xu Damao was still sitting in his yard, drinking tea and reading the newspaper, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
