In the entire courtyard, only Chen Jun and Sha Zhu knew that he had hurt his back after being hit by a big fat pig.

Sha Zhu must have seen how easily he made money from the Jia family and wanted to take advantage of the situation to squeeze some money out of him.

But let them knock on the door; the money belongs to the Jia family anyway.

So Xu Damao waved his hand and pulled out five yuan to hand to Sha Zhu.

"I won't let you work for nothing, here's five bucks!"

They gave me another five dollars?

Those present, witnessing this scene, were filled with regret and slapped their thighs in remorse!

If I had known Xu Damao was so generous, I should have helped him onto the tricycle earlier. No, I should have not only helped him onto the tricycle, but also gone to the hospital with him. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel comfortable keeping those five yuan.

"Oh dear, I was so stupid just now, why didn't I go and help!"

"That's five yuan, plus the five yuan Uncle Shazhu earned pulling the tricycle, he made ten yuan in just a short time. Wow, Xu Damao is really generous!"

"I'll definitely help next time!"

Seeing this, Jia Zhangshi was so angry at Xu Damao that she trembled!

It was intentional!

Xu Damao did it on purpose!

He gave Sha Zhu money just to annoy her.

So you don't care about money that isn't yours?

No matter how much she cursed him in her heart, Jia Zhangshi couldn't do anything about Xu Damao, and could only angrily take the stick home.

The next day, early morning.

With Hou Guifang's help, Xu Damao got up to wash up.

After having breakfast, I planned to ride my bike to work.

Yesterday's talk about lost wages was purely a lie to deceive Jia Zhangshi. If he doesn't go to work, the factory will really deduct his pay!

"Xu Damao, you stop right there!"

A sharp shout came from behind. Turning around, he saw it was Jia Zhangshi.

"What are you doing? You want to fight?"

Xu Damao shook his head defiantly, as if to say, "Come here!"

Having just been extorted yesterday, Jia Zhangshi was naturally not going to fall for it. She loudly questioned, "Xu Damao, are you going to work?"

Having taken the Jia family's compensation for lost wages, he still wants to make money at the steel mill?

Dream on!

"No!" Xu Damao lied through his teeth: "I went for a walk. The doctor said I need to get out of bed and move around, otherwise my back injury will heal slowly."

"nonsense!"

As if she had found a loophole, Jia Zhangshi said, "Didn't you say the doctor told you to stay in bed? What do you mean by getting out of bed and moving around? I think you just want to go back to work at the factory!"

"Tch, believe it or not!"

Xu Damao was too lazy to argue with Jia Zhangshi, so he pushed his bicycle out the door.

He wasn't worried at all that Jia Zhangshi would follow him, because Jia Zhangshi couldn't even get into the steel mill!

Unless she's really bored, she definitely wouldn't do something so mindless.

As expected, Jia Zhangshi did not follow, but her cursing grew louder and louder.

"Mom, stop scolding me so early in the morning!"

Qin Huairu couldn't stand Jia Zhangshi's cursing and swearing, so she came out of the house.

Cursing first thing in the morning will definitely annoy the people in the compound.

"Qin Huairu, you shameless hussy, do you not want me to scold Xu Damao?" Jia Zhangshi asked irritably.

Qin Huairu was speechless: "What are you talking about? I have nothing to do with Xu Damao. Don't talk nonsense anymore."

Spreading rumors that she and Xu Damao were having an affair is purely self-defeating and harmful. Even if others believe it, it will only be a mockery of the Jia family and of Jia Dongxu, who is already publicly shamed.

"Hmph, if it's fine, then get lost. I'm going to report Xu Damao!"

After saying that, Madam Jia actually walked towards the gate.

But Qin Huairu stopped him after he had only taken two steps: "Mom, stop making a fuss!"

"What will you get if you report Xu Damao at the factory? Report him for coming to work injured?"

If Jia Zhangshi were really foolish enough to report the factory, she wouldn't even have a legitimate reason.

You can't exactly say that you kicked Xu Damao yesterday and he hurt his back, and then Xu Damao insisted on going to work the next day, can you?

Putting aside whether the steel mill will reward Xu Damao, if the security department hears about the kicking incident and arrests Jia Zhangshi, then everything will be over.

"I'm reporting him for taking my lost wages and still going to the factory to earn a salary!" Jia Zhangshi shouted confidently, as if what she said made perfect sense.

"Alright, go ahead then. You'd better report Xu Damao in front of the security department and see if they arrest you or Xu Damao!"

Qin Huairu simply stopped trying to stop her.

Even if Jia Zhangshi was stupid or incompetent, after hearing what I said, she should know that she shouldn't go to the steel rolling mill.

As expected, Madam Jia calmed down upon hearing this.

But she was unwilling to accept it!

Xu Damao took her money but still went to work at the factory, which is roughly equivalent to Xu Damao receiving two cents.

Why should I?!

Why should Xu Damao, that damned bastard, be able to take advantage of her?

But no matter what, you can't go to the steel rolling mill; you'll likely get jailed if you do.

But if she didn't go, Jia Zhangshi would be unwilling.

"Hmph, I'll let him off this time and figure out how to deal with him later!"

Unable to come up with a good solution, Jia Zhangshi could only angrily utter a harsh remark before turning around and going back into the house.

Upon witnessing this, Liu Guangqi told Liu Haizhong what had happened.

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong also tapped the table in displeasure.

Xu Damao has grown too big for his britches and now dares to contradict his uncle.

Although Liu Guangqi and his two brothers beat up Xu Damao last time, it was ultimately Xu Damao's dishonesty that ruined Liu Guangqi's blind date. Moreover, Liu Haizhong also compensated him with twenty yuan, so the two sides were even.

But unexpectedly, Xu Damao was extremely petty. Although the matter had passed, he openly supported Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai had been winning people's hearts over the past year, occasionally sending rice and flour to families in need, all of which Liu Haizhong had noticed.

Liu Haizhong knew perfectly well what Yi Zhonghai's purpose was, but he was powerless to change it.

We can't stop Yi Zhonghai from helping impoverished families, can we?

In that case, his second uncle's reputation will only be ruined by himself.

If you don't stop him, Yi Zhonghai is winning over more and more people, even Xu Damao has come to his side.

Give him some more time, and he might really be able to regain his status as the steward.

By then, Liu Haizhong would once again be relegated to second place.

Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong became furious and slapped Liu Guangqi across the face.

"Useless thing!"

If Liu Guangqi had gotten together with Lou Xiao'e earlier, would he still care whether Yi Zhonghai was the boss?

Ultimately, it's because my son isn't good enough!

"Dad, why did you hit me?"

Liu Guangqi, who had just been slapped, was baffled. It was clearly Xu Damao and Jia Zhangshi who were fighting, so why was his father hitting him?

Is there no justice left?!

"Because you're useless, because you're good for nothing, because you haven't even won over Director Lou's daughter!"

"Get out of here! Go find Lou Xiao'e right now, and don't come home until you see her!"

What is that?

Liu Guangqi was completely dumbfounded.

Wasn't this about Xu Damao and Jia Zhangshi? How did it suddenly get dragged into my own affairs?
