Siheyuan: All the incense in the family is counting on you

Chapter 174 Xu Damao was beaten and paid money

Following the sound, they quickly rushed to the middle courtyard and saw He Yuzhu chasing and beating Xu Damao.

Li Bowen, who didn't understand what was going on, hurried forward to stop it. He just happened to block Xu Damao's escape route. Xu Damao dodged and was unable to avoid Li Bowen who was coming towards him.

The two bumped into each other, and Li Bowen quickly reached out and grabbed his arm: "Da Mao, be careful!"

At this moment, He Yuzhu rushed over, first punched Xu Damao in the back, then hugged Xu Damao's neck and gave him a back throw.

Xu Damao fell to the ground with a thud and couldn't get up. He could only groan continuously.

"Zhu Zi, what are you doing? We are just neighbors, how can you hit each other like this?" Li Bowen said this, but a smile appeared on his face. He then bent down to help Xu Damao: "Are you okay, Damao?"

"Ouch! Ouch! I'm almost dead from the fall!" Xu Damao groaned and climbed up with the help of Li Bowen: "Bowen, did you do this on purpose? You had to stand in front of me, otherwise I wouldn't let Sha Zhu catch up with you!"

"Look at what you said, how could I be that kind of person! I really want to help you. Get up quickly, hope you are not hurt!" Li Bowen replied seriously.

"It's okay, Silly Zhuzi, we two are not done yet! Just wait!" Xu Damao, who had recovered a little, started yelling at He Yuzhu again.

"You kid, you haven't been beaten enough, right? Then I'll give you some more punishment!" He Yuzhu rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush up again.

Li Bowen quickly asked someone to stop him: "Fox, stop the pillar!"

Upon hearing that, the fox stepped forward and hugged He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, calm down!" With his strong physique, He Yuzhu could not move at all even if he struggled hard.

At this point, the three uncles in the courtyard came out. Yi Zhonghai shouted, "Stop it, what are you doing? You are all from the same courtyard, so why are you fighting and making trouble? He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, what's wrong with you two?"

He Yuzhu stomped his neck: "This boy is owed! An uncle, Qin Huairu just returned from the hospital. You arranged for me to stew some chicken soup for him. This grandson said that I looked at Qin Huairu and wanted to help Jiajia. You said he would not owe it!"

"Xu Damao, did you really say that?" Yi Zhonghai stared at Xu Damao with a serious face.

"What's wrong with me just joking? How can it be a big deal?" Xu Damao knew that what he said was a bit too much, but he couldn't lose face, so he retorted.

"Do you think what you said is appropriate? Not to mention that I arranged for He Yuzhu to do this, even if it was for the sake of neighbors, Zhuzi made some food for Qin Huairu, which was a good deed. You slandered him like this. If this gets out, how will Zhuzi live his life!"

“I didn’t think so much!”

Yan Bugui stepped forward and said, "This is not a joke. Zhuzi hasn't married yet. If this gets out, how can we talk about dating? You should apologize to them right away!"

"That's right, apologize quickly. You can't just make such a joke!" Liu Haizhong said with a pout while sticking out his belly.

"Just apologize! It's no big deal. I'm sorry I said the wrong thing!" Xu Damao apologized verbally, but there was no remorse in his tone.

But He Yuzhu refused to accept it: "Just apologize and that's it. My reputation is only worth this one apology! No way!"

"Sun thief, what else do you want? You punched me a few times and knocked me down. Now I'm still in pain all over!" Xu Damao shouted beside him.

"Xu Damao, shut up. He Yuzhu, what are you going to do?" Yi Zhonghai spoke to stop Xu Damao, then looked at He Yuzhu.

"You have to compensate me for my loss of reputation. It must be at least five dollars!" He Yuzhu stated the price directly. This was exactly the money he had earned from buying chickens in the past few days.

Xu Damao immediately got angry: "Bah, your reputation is only worth five dollars! It's already been spread all over the streets!"

Yi Zhonghai glared at Xu Damao with a stern look, causing him to shrink his neck violently. Then he heard Yi Zhonghai say, "Who told you to be so mean? You deserve to be beaten!" Then he turned to He Yuzhu and said, "You have already beaten Xu Damao. If he goes to the hospital for a checkup, he will have to pay five more dollars. This matter is over. Behave yourself in the future and don't make trouble for no reason! Let's all go away!"

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, He Yuzhu and the others stopped talking and accepted it.

Just as everyone was about to leave, another voice came: "You can't leave. Xu Damao said this about my Huai Ru. Let's just leave it at that. You must pay compensation!"

Everyone's eyes turned to the door of the Jia family. Jia Zhang was standing at the door with her hands on her hips, looking like she was going to make a scene if they didn't agree.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, why are you causing trouble?" Yi Zhonghai was obviously unhappy.

"What do you mean I'm causing trouble? Xu Damao spread rumors about my daughter-in-law, and I can't say anything. I also want compensation for the loss of reputation, five dollars, not a penny less!"

Looking at Jia Zhang's appearance, Li Bowen now thought that this person was quite interesting, so he stood with his shoulders crossed and watched from the corridor between the front yard and the middle yard. He Yuzhu wanted to join in and say something, but was silenced by Li Bowen's glare.

Yi Zhonghai came back and said, "Sister-in-law of the Jia family, please stop talking. It's not chaotic enough!"

"What's wrong? My Huairu has been slandered for nothing! If you can't do anything about it, just stay away. Xu Damao, what do you think?" Jia Zhang didn't give Yi Zhonghai any face at all and directly pointed the finger at Xu Damao.

Although Yi Zhonghai looked unhappy, as the elder in the courtyard, he still had to speak up: "Xu Damao, there is nothing we can do about it. You should just compensate Jia Zhang for five dollars! Be more careful with your words in the future!"

What else could Xu Damao do? He was now alone and helpless. His parents had already moved out of the courtyard in order to allow him to get married. He had no one to support him. He could only take out five dollars from his pocket and throw it on the ground, then looked at He Yuzhu viciously and said, "Just wait and see!" Then he turned around and went back to the backyard.

There was no more fun to watch, so Li Bowen and the others returned to the front yard.

At this time, everyone in the family had returned, and Yu Li and Li Mei were in the kitchen helping their aunt and others cook.

When I entered the room, Li Dahai was sitting on a chair rolling a cigarette: "What happened in the middle court just now?"

"What else could it be? Zhuzi and Xu Damao are fighting again!" Li Bowen pointed at He Yuzhu with a smile.

Li Dahai glanced at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, don't always fight with Xu Damao in the future. That kid is cunning. If he goes out and says bad things about you, you will never get married!"

"If he dares, I can't beat the shit out of him!"

Li Dahai shook his head: "So what? If your reputation is ruined by someone, can you redeem it by beating him? Do you really want to marry Qin Huairu in the future?"

"That's definitely not possible. I'm here to help, but I don't want to marry a widow!" He Yuzhu shook his head like a rattle.

"That's it. Be careful next time. I've asked someone to keep an eye on you. I'll introduce you to someone suitable if there's one!"

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Thank you!"

At this time, Yu Li and Li Mei came in from the door carrying dishes: "Okay, stop talking, Bowen, put the table up and drink first."
