The nights are very quiet these days, with few sources of noise. Not to mention cell phones and computers, even televisions are only owned by four families in the entire courtyard.
Oh, now there are five. Yi Zhonghai also bought one as an important part of his retirement plan. Every night, he has Huaihua bring Banggeng to his house to check on it.
The second aunt's voice was strong and clear; her shout was heard almost everywhere in the yard. She shouted a few more times, and this time even the front yard could hear her.
Xu Damao lived the closest, so he and Qin Jingru were the first to arrive. As soon as they entered the house, they exclaimed, "Oh dear, what happened to Second Uncle?"
Desperate and disregarding her past grievances, the second aunt cried out, "Da Mao, come quick and help! Save your second uncle!"
Xu Damao is indeed a bad person; however, he is also incredibly shrewd when it comes to interpersonal relationships.
In the TV series, the Second Uncle's family got into trouble twice, and both times it was thanks to Xu Damao.
Last time, when the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu got into a fight, they also beat up Liu Haizhong. His second aunt was so anxious that she shouted until she was hoarse, but no one came to help.
In the end, it was Xu Damao who was the first to come over, persuaded the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to separate, and then called a tricycle driver to take them to the hospital.
Later, his second aunt suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. By then, Xu Damao's family had already installed a telephone, and it was he who promptly dialed 120 and called an ambulance, which saved his second aunt's life.
That's exactly what's happening now. As soon as he heard Aunt Er shout, Xu Damao didn't say a word. He rolled up his sleeves and rushed over to help Uncle Er up.
Qin Jingru, with her sharp eyes, spotted the stone with the note wrapped around it: "What's this?"
His second aunt grabbed the note, then hurriedly removed it and handed it to Xu Damao: "What does this say?"
She was illiterate, and in those days, many people like her were illiterate.
In another timeline, the fat man saw his grandparents' household registration booklet. Under the education level section, his grandmother's name was listed as "illiterate"...
Xu Damao quickly took it and glanced at it, then his expression turned strange; his second aunt was anxious: "What exactly is written?"
Xu Damao looked at him strangely: "Someone is having an affair in the vegetable cellar."
What? Aunt Er and Qin Jingru looked at each other in disbelief. Then, this silly girl snatched the note from Xu Damao's hand as if she didn't believe it, and she was also dumbfounded when she saw it.
Without mentioning how exciting things were at Liu Haizhong's house, the fat man dashed back to the front yard, pretending to have just returned from the toilet.
In fact, he never used the public toilet outside. He always went back to Stardew Valley to take care of his personal needs. Wasn't the flush toilet better?
The doors of several houses in the front yard opened almost simultaneously, and Yan Bugui once again used his police dog as a tool: "It sounds like Old Liu's house, let's go over and take a look."
The fat man walked up to Yu Li without saying a word: "What's wrong?"
Yu Li shook her head blankly: "Don't know?" Then, she pushed the fat man away with a look of disgust: "Go wash your hands!"
Before long, everyone in the courtyard had gathered at the entrance of Liu Haizhong's house.
Before the fat man could even turn on his voice changer, Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi became his voice doubles.
One person asked, "Where's the old man?"
Another asked, "Where is my daughter-in-law?"
The older woman then realized that the old man was not there, which was not like him at all!
As for Huaihua, where is her mother at this crucial moment? Has she reformed herself?
Who is Xu Damao? He is extremely confident, extremely insecure, and has an incredibly vivid imagination. At this moment, he suddenly pulled out that note from his pocket: "Great, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu are having an affair in the vegetable cellar!"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves, and the whole courtyard is in an uproar.
Jia Zhangshi lunged forward to grab Xu Damao, yelling, "I'll tear your mouth off!"
The old lady also objected: "Xu Damao, how dare you slander my old man's reputation like this!"
Xu Damao frantically dodged and weaved, shouting, "It wasn't me, it was this note! Wrapped in a stone, it was smeared on Second Uncle's face! Look!"
The fat man pretended to be curious and stepped forward to block Jia Zhangshi, that big fat woman, from view.
Jia Zhangshi bumped into the fat man without warning, feeling as if she had hit granite.
He cried out in pain and fell to the ground. Luckily, Huaihua caught him in time.
At times like this, when the eldest uncle is not around and the second uncle is no longer useful, Yan Bugui, the third uncle, thinks he's all that matters again.
He spoke in his sticky, slurred voice: "What's going on? Xu Damao, you, you, explain yourself clearly!"
He's supposed to be a primary school teacher, but he stutters when he gets excited. I don't know how he even got into the teaching profession.
The fat man shoved Sha Zhu, who then grabbed Xu Damao and yelled, "You little bastard, what's going on? What note? Let me see it!"
Xu Damao obediently handed over the note, and when Sha Zhu took it and looked at it, he was completely dumbfounded...
The note said someone was having an affair in the vegetable cellar. Then everyone in the courtyard was there except for Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu.
Then, recalling Liu Lan's bombshell revelations about Qin Huairu's alleged affair... he believed it, he really believed it!
Sha Zhu expressionlessly passed the note to the Third Aunt. The Third Aunt could read, and after reading it, she excitedly handed it to the Third Uncle.
It has to be said that as long as Sha Zhu isn't fawning over Qin Huairu, his IQ is absolutely on point. Not only is it high, but he's also slyly cunning.
Just like now, he didn't give the note to either the first aunt or Jia Zhangshi, but directly to the third aunt. Why? Because he was afraid they would destroy the evidence!
Now that old bastard Yan Bugui has seen it, this matter is never going to end.
Back then, Banggeng stole a chicken, lying through his teeth that the chicken was his. It was that old bastard Yan Bugui who really humiliated him; from the Dongdan market to the Chaoyang market, and then back to his lunchbox, he schemed against him relentlessly…
Now that's enough, such a huge handle has been handed to Yan Bugui. Sure enough, Yan Bugui's face changed color: "Gentlemen, someone anonymously reported that someone in our compound is having illicit sexual relations in the vegetable cellar!"
After saying that, he called out his boss's name: "Jie Cheng, you take some men, take the young and strong ones from our institute, and go there first. Make sure you stop them! The main force will be there soon!"
Catching someone in the act of adultery is something many people have only heard of in legends and have never actually witnessed.
Without waiting for a reply from the old woman and Jia Zhangshi, the group headed towards the vegetable cellar in a grand procession.
Especially Liu Haizhong, who had his second aunt support him, gritted his teeth and said that if he caught anyone today, he would definitely bring them to justice!
That's right, they should be prosecuted. Even 40 years from now, this is still considered immoral and a blatant violation of public order and good morals, and the public security organs have the right to handle it.
The fat man accompanied Yu Li, mingling with the main group, leisurely following along to watch the show.
The two whispered to each other, oblivious to everyone else: "Do you think there really is an old man and Qin Huairu in the vegetable cellar?"
