Leisurely Days in the Courtyard

Returning to 1955, I began a life of lively chaos and leisure in that legendary Siheyuan. Let's see how a modern person can live their own little life by "gouging" (playing it safe/layi...

Chapter 2038 Each Takes a Step Back

"you...... "

"Xu Damao, you cheated us with counterfeit goods, and now you're turning around and accusing us!"

"You're such a scoundrel!"

Liu Haizhong was so angry at Xu Damao's words that his nose almost crooked. He thought Xu Damao was shameless, but he didn't expect Xu Damao to be this shameless.

Seeing Liu Haizhong so furious, Xu Damao once again took out the agreement he had written with Wu Yu.

"Look everyone, it's written in black and white!"

"Whether the things are real or fake has nothing to do with me, Xu Damao. They were the ones who asked me to write this, and now look at them, they're denying it."

"Do you think I'm to blame for this?"

Xu Damao spoke confidently to everyone in the compound.

By this time, most of the people in the compound had figured it out. This matter couldn't be entirely blamed on Xu Damao; if you really wanted to talk about it, neither of these groups were good people.

However, the final result is different. Now, Liu Haizhong has been tricked by Xu Damao and has been swindled out of 500 yuan.

"You...you're so shameless..."

Liu Haizhong narrowly escaped choking and started cursing at Xu Damao.

At this moment, Liu Guangqi noticed something. Just when Liu Haizhong was unable to win the argument with Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi suddenly stood up.

"Xu Damao, is this how you want to resolve this matter?"

"So, if we go along with your idea, this won't be resolved?" As he said this, Liu Guangqi turned his gaze to Lin Tian in the crowd.

Moreover, Liu Guangqi said this on purpose for Xu Damao to hear. Since they had no other way to control Xu Damao, they could only find a reason that Xu Damao couldn't refuse or someone that Xu Damao was afraid of.

Sure enough, as Liu Guangqi finished speaking, Xu Damao's expression turned serious. He wasn't afraid of Liu Haizhong and his group; he was even willing to fight them.

However, things are very different when it comes to Lin Tian. Others may not know Lin Tian well enough, but Xu Damao knows him very well. He knows very well that he can't afford to offend Lin Tian.

However, with so many people in the compound, Xu Damao couldn't just admit his mistake and back down. Instead, he continued, "It's not that I don't want to resolve this!"

"It's not that you don't want to solve this problem at all, so how can he blame me?"

"If you return my vase, which is worth 3,000 yuan, I will agree to return your 500 yuan!"

Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, Wu Yu immediately pointed to the vase she had brought out and said, "Your vase is over there!"

"You can take it back now if you want it!"

Xu Damao sneered: "Heh, that's not mine. I already said my vase is worth 3,000 yuan. I only want my vase!"

"You're talking nonsense! Isn't this your vase?" Wu Yu was furious that Xu Damao dared to deny it and say it wasn't his vase. Where was she supposed to get him a vase worth 3,000 yuan?

Upon hearing Wu Yu's words, Xu Damao pretended to shrug helplessly, indicating that he was also somewhat powerless to help.

Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth at Xu Damao's appearance, glanced at Lin Tian, ​​and seeing that Lin Tian had no intention of continuing to speak, he had no choice but to step forward himself.

“If that’s your opinion, then there’s no point in resolving this matter!” Liu Haizhong said, giving Xu Damao a deep look.

"It needs to be resolved! It absolutely has to be resolved! I never said this matter wouldn't be resolved!"

Xu Damao dared not admit that he didn't want to resolve the matter. He dared not disrespect Lin Tian, ​​because he couldn't afford to offend Lin Tian if he caused trouble for him later. So Xu Damao dared to express his thoughts in a roundabout way.

"OK!"

Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth and continued, "Since you say you want to resolve this matter, I'll compromise!"

"I don't need you to return all 500 yuan. Just return 400 yuan, and I'll consider the remaining 100 yuan my loss!"

Liu Haizhong didn't want things to drag on any longer. If this wasn't resolved, who knew what would happen if Lin Tian didn't intervene in the future!

So Liu Haizhong simply backed down and gave up 100 yuan, considering it bad luck. You should know that the 100 yuan that Liu Haizhong gave up was more than a month's salary for him.

Hearing Liu Haizhong say this, Xu Damao could no longer pretend to be dead. Liu Haizhong had been so blunt; if he didn't speak up, he would really offend someone.

Before agreeing, Xu Damao still wanted to argue a bit, as he wasn't entirely satisfied with 100 yuan.

"100 yuan? Uncle, are you trying to give me a beggar's money?!"

Xu Damao sneered and mocked Liu Haizhong.

"Uncle, if that's how you put it, then I have something to say too. I'll just spend 100 yuan to buy this vase back!"

“I think you’re the one trying to fob us off. We spent 500 yuan back then! You think you can settle this for 100 yuan? You’re dreaming!” Liu Guangqi said to Xu Damao with great dissatisfaction.

As a result, Xu Damao glanced at Liu Guangqi but didn't pay any attention to him at all, meaning that he and Liu Guangqi were not on the same level.

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong had no choice but to step forward and continue arguing with Xu Damao.

"Xu Damao, don't be so 100%. You yourself know that I can't possibly agree to this. This shows you have no intention of resolving the issue!"

"Okay, I'll give you another 50 yuan off, you give me back 350, and we'll call it even. My family won't bother you anymore!"

"If you really disagree, that's a bit unreasonable. I've already accepted my defeat, so don't be so unforgiving!"

Liu Haizhong was getting anxious. He had already accepted such a huge loss, and it would be too much for Xu Damao to keep pressing the issue.

Upon hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Xu Damao fell silent. He never expected things to turn out this way.

First, Liu Haizhong publicly executed the people he had brought to the compound in front of everyone in the compound, which made Xu Damao realize that he was extremely unpopular in the compound.

Secondly, since Lin Tian had also taken action this time, Xu Damao had to consider Lin Tian's thoughts when doing things, and he felt he couldn't bear the consequences of not giving Lin Tian face.

"......"

"300, I'll give you 300!"
