Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao argued for a long time. One wanted to get more back, while the other wanted to give less.
In the end, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but agree to let Xu Damao return 300 yuan. After all, if he didn't take this opportunity to get more back, who knew what would happen in the future?
Xu Damao hesitated and remained silent for a while, then looked at the way the people in the compound were looking at him. In the end, considering that he had to take care of his reputation in the compound, Xu Damao simply agreed.
"Fine, 300 yuan it is. I, Xu Damao, am just unlucky today!"
Xu Damao was forced to resolve the matter today, and he was quite unhappy about it.
If Lin Tian hadn't gotten involved, Xu Damao would never have willingly handed over the money today.
Others may not know Lin Tian's situation, but Xu Damao knows a little about it and knows that he can't afford to offend Lin Tian.
So when Lin Tiantian spoke up for him, Xu Damao knew he had no way out.
Even after struggling with Liu Haizhong for so long, Xu Damao was only trying to salvage some of his dignity.
Regardless, Xu Damao still managed to swindle 200 yuan from Liu Haizhong this time.
When Liu Haizhong heard that Xu Damao had agreed to return the 300 yuan, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was initially scammed out of 500 yuan, Xu Damao still left him 200 yuan in the end.
However, compared to the fact that they didn't get back a single penny of the 500 yuan, Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi were already quite satisfied.
"OK!"
Upon seeing that Xu Damao agreed to return the 300 yuan, Liu Haizhong quickly agreed as well.
"Then hurry up and give me the money!"
Liu Haizhong, looking as if afraid that things might get complicated, reached out and asked Xu Damao for money.
Xu Damao said with a look of disgust, "How could I possibly carry that much money on me? Are you out of your mind?"
Xu Damao, who was forced to pay, still harbored considerable resentment. So when he saw Liu Haizhong asking him for money, he immediately snapped back.
Liu Haizhong was furious and wanted to argue with Xu Damao immediately, but as soon as he took a step forward, he was pulled back tightly.
Liu Guangqi shook his head vigorously at Liu Haizhong, signaling him not to be too impulsive at this moment, as he didn't want to jeopardize getting the money back from Xu Damao.
"Alright, alright, go get the money!"
When Liu Haizhong saw Liu Guangqi blocking him, he was very displeased and simply handed the matter over to Liu Guangqi, washing his hands of it.
"I have something to do later!"
"You're all only thinking about yourselves. Let me tell you, I still have things to do here!"
Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Xu Damao suddenly spoke again.
Liu Haizhong, who was about to leave, stopped and looked at Xu Damao.
No one in the compound knew what tricks Xu Damao was up to this time, and everyone focused their attention on hearing what he had to say.
Xu Damao then said, "Everyone has understood the ins and outs of the matter!"
"This bastard tried to scam me but failed, and now he's asking me for a refund!"
"I refunded his money out of consideration for everyone, but we can't just leave this matter unresolved!"
Xu Damao originally intended to let the matter drop, but he thought about it carefully again.
If this matter is just left like this, wouldn't I be at a huge loss? I would have given away the money for nothing, and then I would have been looked down upon by the people in the compound.
So now Xu Damao is thinking that although he can't gain any advantage in this matter, these people must give him face.
After all, even Lin Tian couldn't say anything about what he was doing.
Seeing Xu Dawang stirring up trouble again, Lin Tian instantly understood what he was up to.
However, things turned out much as Xu Damao had expected. Lin Tian really didn't want to get involved in Xu Damao's messy affairs; he could do whatever he wanted.
"Wu Yu, Liu Guangqi, and Second Uncle, you guys think you can just let this go after you tried to scam me!"
"Let me tell you! If you don't sincerely apologize to me today, I'm not going to return this money to you!"
Xu Damao pointed at the three of them with a serious expression and said.
Liu Guangqi and Wu Yu were fine, after all, they had done a lot of shameful things and caused too much trouble recently.
Even if they apologized to Xu Damao now, it wouldn't be too shameful, and neither of them felt there was anything wrong with what Xu Damao said.
But when this happens to Liu Haizhong, who is very concerned about his image, things become different.
Liu Haizhong, the respected second uncle in the courtyard, a senior worker at the steel mill, and the former captain of the joint defense team, how could he possibly apologize to a junior in the courtyard?
Liu Haizhong's face flushed red upon hearing Xu Damao's words, and he angrily questioned, "Xu Damao, you want me to apologize to you? Why should I apologize to you?"
"You, Xu Damao, are not worthy of my apology!"
Liu Haizhong, of course, refused to apologize to Xu Damao and even gave Xu Damao a severe dressing-down.
Xu Damao chuckled at Liu Haizhong's attitude and said directly to the people in the courtyard, "Everyone saw it, right?"
"They're the ones who did something wrong, and they still won't apologize to me!"
"If that's the case, then you can forget about getting your money back. After all, if you don't apologize to me, I won't refund your money. No matter where you look at it, I'm in the right!"
"Besides, I have a written agreement in my hand. Even if we take this to the highest levels of government, I'm in the right, let alone in a meeting in the compound!"
Xu Damao spoke with great conviction, displaying an attitude that he would not let Liu Haizhong off the hook until Liu Haizhong apologized to him.
Moreover, by this point, Xu Damao had gained some confidence that he had already suffered enough losses, and that whatever he did next, he would be able to stand firm among the people in the compound.
As expected, when Xu Damao made his demands this time, not a single person in the compound stood up to speak for Liu Haizhong.
After all, by this point, everyone in the compound could see exactly what was going on.
If it weren't for the fact that it was related to their own interests, the people in the compound would never have gotten involved in the matter between Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao.
As for making Liu Haizhong bend over now, it's something everyone in the compound is happy to see. Everyone thinks it's good to let Liu Haizhong suffer a bit of bad luck.
