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

Chapter 191: Clean your hands, please take the belt

"Newspaper? Will that work?"

Wang Dabao frowned and asked with some confusion.

"Hey, don't underestimate this newspaper, it's very useful!" Sha Zhu smiled mysteriously, "I'll crumple the newspaper until it's soft and fold it, then wear it on my butt like a piece of armor, it will definitely block most of the damage."

Wang Dabao still felt that Sha Zhu was exaggerating. "If Xu Damao beat him hard, I'm afraid even the newspaper wouldn't be able to stop him."

"Don't worry, I'll put some more things in the newspaper compartment." Sha Zhu patted his chest, "It's cold now, no one can stop me from wearing more clothes. Of course, the key is still relying on you, brother Dabao."

After saying that, Sha Zhu looked at Wang Dabao nervously.

Wang Dabao shook his head helplessly. "Since you have decided to use the newspaper, then use it. If you really want to take off your clothes, I will stop you."

"I've been waiting for you to say this, brother."

Sha Zhu picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, drink some wine. Drinking more will help relieve the pain."

The two of them drank back and forth, and soon the bottle of white wine was empty. Sha Zhu was worthy of being a cook, and his alcohol tolerance was much better than Xu Damao.

As the time for the whole hospital meeting was approaching, Sha Zhu hurriedly said goodbye and went home to put on his "equipment".

There was a lot of leftover food, so Wang Dabao considerately poured it back into the lunch box and asked Sha Zhu to take it back.

Sha Zhu looked at Wang Dabao's actions with eyes full of approval: "Brother Dabao, you are really a good person. If it were Yan Bugui, that old man would want to scrape the oil out of the lunch box."

"Hey, why are we brothers talking about this?"

Wang Dabao waved his hand, "Your arms are not working properly, so take these back with you. You won't have to cook tomorrow."

After seeing Sha Zhu off, Wang Dabao made a pot of new tea and was drinking it when Xu Damao and Yan Bugui arrived at the door one after another.

"Hey Dabao, I can smell the aroma of tea as soon as I arrived at the door. Let me, your old brother, taste what your tea tastes like." Yan Bugui shouted as he entered the door. When he saw Wang Dabao take out two clean cups and start pouring tea, he was so anxious that he almost started to pour tea.

Wang Dabao was not surprised by Yan Bugui's behavior. If he didn't take advantage of him, he would still be Yan Laokou!

Yan Bugui took a sip and immediately gave a thumbs up: "Good tea, Dabao, you really have good taste."

"What taste do I have? I just had some at the old army commander's place a while ago to satisfy my craving for alcohol." Wang Dabao smiled and gestured for the two to drink, then asked, "How is the preparation going?"

Xu Damao was not like Yan Bugui, who was so particular about drinking tea. He drank the tea in his cup in one gulp and said, "Originally, the leader wanted to arrange for me to go to the countryside to show movies today, but I declined on the grounds of maintaining the machine. Not to mention showing movies, I can't even enter the bridal chamber today."

"I've been in the factory all day and I'm feeling pretty refreshed. Tonight I'm going to let Sha Zhu know how many eyes the Horse King has."

Yan Bugui nodded at the side: "I didn't see Sha Zhu this evening, but Yi Zhonghai just showed up. He should have come out from the deaf old lady. He looked fine, as if he was not the one who was going to be beaten."

"Like nothing happened?"

Wang Dabao paused holding the teacup in mid-air, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Could it be that Yi Zhonghai instigated the deaf old lady to cause trouble at the conference?"

"She dares?"

Xu Damao glared, "Don't think you can do whatever you want in the compound just because you're old. If you piss me off, I'll beat up the old woman too!"

Yan Bugui frowned and shook his head: "It shouldn't be the case. Yi Zhonghai won't hide behind an old woman who is buried up to her neck in the dirt. But looking at the expression on Yi Zhonghai's face, he doesn't look like he's facing a disaster."

"That's strange. Yi Zhonghai is such a face-conscious person. He used to be the boss of the courtyard. How could he save face when he was spanked in public?"

Wang Dabao pondered for a while, and then gradually thought of something in his mind, and continued: "Old Yan, Damao, do you two still remember the time when Jia Dongxu beat Sha Zhu a while ago, didn't he say that a belt would cost one dollar?"

"That's right, but what does this have to do with that time?"

Yan Bugui's eyes were full of confusion, but this did not stop him from filling up the teapot for himself. However, his hand that was pouring the tea suddenly trembled, and he looked at Wang Dabao in disbelief, "Dabao, you mean that Yi Zhonghai wants to use money to buy this belt?"

Wang Dabao nodded: "It seems very likely to be the case now."

Then Wang Dabao and Yan Bugui turned their heads and looked at Xu Damao.

Xu Damao is the mastermind of this incident and the victim who has been wrongly accused. Yi Zhonghai wants to settle the matter with money, but the key depends on whether Xu Damao agrees.

If Xu Damao doesn't agree, Yi Zhonghai won't be able to spend his money even if he has it!

"One belt costs one dollar, fifty belts is fifty dollars, I have nothing against money, why shouldn't I take it!"

When Xu Damao heard that Yi Zhonghai wanted to pay for this beating, he immediately became energetic, "Besides, the person I want to beat is Shazhu, Yi Zhonghai is just a byproduct of the beating."

"Xu Damao, as the manager, how can you be so unprincipled!"

A loud shout came from the door.

With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open, and Liu Haizhong, with a pot belly and his hands behind his back, stepped in.

After Liu Haizhong entered the room, he first smiled at Wang Dabao, then walked to Xu Damao and stood in front of him, saying seriously: "Xu Damao, you are no longer the previous resident Xu Damao, you are now Xu Mediation. How can you give up your principles as a mediator for a little bit of profit!"

"Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu slandered you for your bad conduct and deliberately tortured you to death. Now you want to give up punishing Yi Zhonghai just for fifty dollars?!"

Liu Haizhong spoke righteously and passionately, and as he spoke, he spit all over Xu Damao's face and almost scolded Xu Damao face to face.

Xu Damao felt very bitter, and he would have slapped him before letting him go.

But that’s not possible now. As a mediator, I have to accept the supervision of Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, and I might be dismissed if I’m not careful.

But I can't be fired after only two days of work. That would be embarrassing.

"Master, this matter was originally started by Sha Zhu. Yi Zhonghai is just implicated. If he has the money, why not take it?"

Xu Damao stood up and pushed Liu Haizhong to his seat, then said, "How about this? If Yi Zhonghai really wants to pay for this beating, I can't be the only one to pay. Everyone here should pay two dollars."

After that, Xu Damao chuckled and said, "Uncle, two yuan can buy forty or fifty eggs."

Liu Haizhong snorted, turned his face away, and said with a big mouth, "Where can I buy it? I have to buy it if I can!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? I've already talked to the factory's purchasing agent. I'll give it to you slowly when it's available." Xu Damao laughed and slowly guided Liu Haizhong.

"Da Mao, what about me and Da Bao?"

When Yan Bugui heard that he had to share the money, the corners of his mouth almost tore apart. How could such a good thing fall from the sky?

Without even opening his mouth, the pie hit him directly in the face.

"Second uncle, you and brother Dabao must have a share, I, Xu Damao, can do a good job." Xu Damao said with a smug look, "But all this is based on Yi Zhonghai's willingness to pay."

When Wang Dabao saw that Liu Haizhong fell silent when he heard that the eggs should be shared equally among him, he knew that this guy was not talking about any principles at all. He was just worried about having too few eggs rather than equal distribution.

Yan Bugui smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits: "Then Second Uncle would like to thank you, Damao."

Liu Haizhong still didn't say anything, but looked at Wang Dabao.

"Okay, let's do as Damao said. Yi Zhonghai has already lost face last night anyway, so it won't make much difference whether he gets beaten today or not." Wang Dabao saw that Liu and Yan had no objections, so he didn't want to get involved. So let it be.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Liu Haizhong cleared his throat and said, "I have asked Guangtian and Guangfu to move the tables and chairs over. It's almost time, let's go over there."

After saying that, Liu Haizhong turned his gaze to Wang Dabao.

"Okay, let's go."

Wang Dabao stood up and immediately thought of the key item. He glanced at Liu Haizhong and said, "Um... Old Liu, did you bring out the belt?"

Liu Haizhong slapped his head, stood up and headed for the door, "Look at my memory, I'll go back and get it right away."

"and many more."

Wang Dabao called Liu Haizhong, then looked at Xu Damao, "Damo, go wash your hands, then ask Lao Liu to bring the belt over. It's better to be pious."
