Villains in Film and Television: Starting with Yang Ke in "The Golden Age"

8 pm.

"The purpose of tonight's hospital-wide meeting is to discuss the argument between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao that happened at 6 p.m.

When Yi Zhonghai arrived, he immediately said that the argument between the two was caused by a misunderstanding. He said that Sha Zhu could do whatever he wanted, but hitting someone was unacceptable.

"Uncle, I didn't have any argument with Sha Zhu. He just thought that way and came over to hit me."

“Look at the beating I got! I don’t care. If you can’t resolve this, I’ll call the factory’s security department.”

Xu Damao rolled his eyes at Yi Zhonghai, thinking that this old man was really biased.

"Old Yi, let's ask Sha Zhu how to resolve the matter of him hitting Xu Damao."

When Liu Haizhong saw Xu Damao talking back to Yi Zhonghai, he immediately chimed in, feeling that this was an opportunity to undermine the prestige of the elderly Yi Zhonghai.

"Second Uncle, I didn't just make a fuss about Xu Damao; someone told me about it."

Sha Zhu wouldn't admit it; he simply said that someone else had reported him.

"Who told you that you were slandered by Xu Damao?"

Yan Bugui also asked the key question.

"Of course it's Aunt Zhang from the next street. She's the one who delivered the message to the woman I went on a blind date with."

"Since she was the one who delivered the message, then what she said must be true, so it was Xu Damao who slandered me!"

Sha Zhu's mind was still working very quickly at this moment.

"Then let a few people bring Aunt Zhang here and ask her. If we don't get to the bottom of this, we'll end up framing an innocent person."

After thinking for a moment, Yi Zhonghai decided to call Aunt Zhang over to ask her.

Actually, the current situation is very unfavorable for Sha Zhu. Unless Aunt Zhang can confirm that it is the Sha Zhu that Xu Damao mentioned, he will not be able to change the subject.

"You silly Zhu, really! You just attacked someone after Aunt Zhang told you to?"

Yi Zhonghai felt it wasn't safe, so he directly said that Sha Zhu's incident was just a momentary impulse.

If Aunt Zhang comes back and says it wasn't Xu Damao, then we can resolve this matter peacefully.

If it really is Xu Damao, then being beaten by Sha Zhu would be too lenient, since speaking recklessly at this time would have consequences.

After a while, Yan Bugui arrived with Aunt Zhang.

"Aunt Zhang, did you tell Sha Zhu that his failed blind date was because Xu Damao spoke ill of his blind date?"

Yi Zhonghai's words were consistently guiding the conversation, and even if Aunt Zhang wasn't sure, she had to go along with his lead.

"Oh dear, I didn't say that. It was someone else who was discussing this with me at the street corner."

Aunt Zhang quickly waved her hand.

"This Aunt Zhang is similar to our Third Uncle; she just stands at the door all the time."

“With people coming and going like this, who knows who might mention me, Xu Damao, and she might overhear it. Sha Zhu didn’t even ask clearly before assuming it was me and gave me a good beating.”

"Now that the truth has come out, could you please go to the factory and call the security department?"

Upon hearing Aunt Zhang's words, Xu Damao immediately became arrogant.

Actually, Yang Ke arranged this whole thing, but Aunt Zhang naturally didn't dare to tell the truth.

Yang Ke's actions essentially turned Sha Zhu and Xu Damao into a dogfight, yet no one knew it was him who did it. The person who went to talk to Aunt Zhang was arranged by Wu Jun.

"Da Mao, it's not that serious."

"Uncle, let's take Aunt Zhang home first, and then we can continue with the general meeting."

Yi Zhonghai also found it difficult, so he gave the old woman a look and told her to go to the backyard to find the deaf old lady.

He didn't expect that Sha Zhu would hit Xu Damao without asking clearly, and now Aunt Zhang's hearsay has put him in an awkward position.

"Who's going to send my precious grandson Zhuzi to the security office?"

Not long after Yan Bugui returned from seeing Aunt Zhang off, the deaf old lady arrived at the Intermediate People's Court.

"it's me!"

Xu Damao wouldn't care about the deaf old lady.

To put it bluntly, he finally got a chance, and he wouldn't give up until he got Sha Zhu in.

"you?"

"Haven't you, Xu Damao, said plenty of bad things about my good grandson Zhuzi?"

“If you two hadn’t been arguing so often, why would Zhu Zi have hit you just because of the rumors outside? In the end, it’s still your fault.”

The deaf old lady immediately changed the subject.

"Grandma, let's keep things separate. It's a fact that I was beaten by Sha Zhu today."

“I told you before that Sha Zhu’s situation wasn’t this serious. I would have accepted it if he had been beaten.”

"But I was beaten for no reason today. I won't accept this until it's properly resolved!"

Xu Damao finally showed some sense today.

Anyway, as long as he's not wrong, Sha Zhu won't have an easy time.

“Here’s what we’ll do, Zhu Zi, you should pay Xu Damao 20 yuan for medical expenses and apologize. We’re all neighbors, so please give this old lady some face.”

The deaf old lady knew that this matter couldn't be delayed any longer. If Xu Damao got desperate and insisted on sending Sha Zhu to the security department, things would get complicated.

"Yeah, yeah, Da Mao, Sha Zhu's apology and compensation are enough."

"Nobody wants our harmonious and friendly courtyard, which we've maintained for so long, to be destroyed because of this argument. Everyone would be the one who suffers in the end."

Yi Zhonghai then brought up another matter.

Every year, the neighborhood office selects some households with fewer problems and awards them. Each household receives a gift such as flour and eggs. It may not seem like much, but it's all thanks to the hard work of each household, and it's just enough to make a New Year's gift.

If it's really canceled because of Xu Damao's matter, then I'll be the one who suffers.

"Yeah, yeah, Da Mao, Sha Zhu apologized to you and even paid you 20 yuan. You've made a huge profit. Let's just let this go."

Thinking of this, everyone immediately agreed with the deaf old lady, since they weren't the ones being beaten anyway.

"Isn't 20 a bit too little? Sha Zhu didn't get much criticism for doing this."

Liu Haizhong felt he should say something, although he didn't know how to say it. With only an elementary school education, he ended up saying this.

"Let Sha Zhu clean up for everyone for another week, is that alright?"

Yi Zhonghai reiterated the need for group compensation, in an attempt to silence others.

Everyone had received their share of the benefits, and since Xu Damao being beaten was his problem, no one wanted to drag it out any further.

Wouldn't it be better to go home and sleep when you have free time? It's time to get back to chatting.

"Da Mao, is this okay?"

Yan Bugui knew he had to speak up, otherwise, if he kept dragging things out and no one offered him a way out, it would take forever.

Since his family also benefits, and Xu Damao can't do anything about Sha Zhu, he might as well adjourn the meeting and go to sleep.

"Alright, let Sha Zhu apologize, but it has to be sincere, or I won't allow it!"

When Xu Damao heard that Sha Zhu wanted to apologize to him, and since no one else spoke up for him, he had no choice but to let Sha Zhu apologize now. After all, there were so many people around, and it was enough to make Sha Zhu lose face.

"Stupid column!"

The deaf old lady knew it was probably a trick by Xu Damao, but since Sha Zhu couldn't produce any evidence before hitting her, she was already grateful that he apologized and that was the end of it.

"sorry."

Sha Zhu remained silent and sullen.

After Aunt Zhang said that she had only heard rumors, Sha Zhu knew he was in trouble and was naturally very depressed.

He was frustrated because he hadn't caught Xu Damao red-handed; otherwise, he would have definitely dealt him a severe blow.

"Hmph, so insincere. Sha Zhu, are you apologizing? These old men are watching."

Xu Damao didn't care whether Sha Zhu's tone was sincere or not; he just wanted Sha Zhu to say it again.
