Things happened very quickly. Before Xu Damao knew it, he had been slapped hard several times by Sha Zhu.
Liu Haizhong, who was standing to the side, was very happy to see Xu Damao being beaten by Sha Zhu, because no matter what, it was good to let Xu Damao suffer some losses first.
The people in the compound wanted to go up and pull the two apart, but seeing Sha Zhu's crazy expression, no one stepped forward.
The main reason is that Xu Damao isn't very popular in the compound, and everyone is hoping that Sha Zhu will teach him a lesson so that he'll behave himself.
In the end, Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to pull Sha Zhu away.
Liu Haizhong stepped forward simply because he was afraid that Sha Zhu would hurt Xu Damao, which would affect his ability to get money from Xu Damao.
Now that Yi Zhonghai has recovered, he will naturally attend the hospital-wide meeting.
However, his reason for pulling Sha Zhu away was different from Liu Haizhong's. He was mainly worried that Sha Zhu would make a big fuss, and he was actually somewhat biased towards Sha Zhu.
With the help of Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, they finally managed to pull Sha Zhu aside.
Xu Damao's face was already red and swollen from the beating. When he saw Sha Zhu being pulled aside, Xu Damao angrily pointed at Sha Zhu and started cursing.
"You idiot Zhu, I'll fuck your grandma!"
"How dare you hit me, you motherfucker? Am I not telling the truth?"
"What? You don't want people to talk about your family's messy affairs?"
Xu Damao sounded furious, as if he wanted to beat up Sha Zhu right away.
When Sha Zhu saw that Xu Damao still dared to talk nonsense, he immediately tried to break free from Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai's hold and continue fighting with Xu Damao.
However, the two of them didn't want Sha Zhu to cause any more trouble, so Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai held onto Sha Zhu tightly.
Yi Zhonghai turned to Xu Damao and scolded him, "Xu Damao, haven't you had enough of being beaten?"
"If you can't shut up, I'm not going to care about Sha Zhu anymore. You guys can go ahead and beat him up!"
Yi Zhonghai didn't want things to escalate further, so he resorted to threatening the foul-mouthed Xu Damao.
When Xu Damao saw that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong seemed to be letting go of Sha Zhu, he hesitated because he didn't want to continue being beaten.
So Xu Damao obediently shut his mouth, but before he did, he couldn't help but mutter a couple of things.
"You just wait, Sha Zhu, this isn't over yet!"
Listening to Xu Damao's desperate attempt to save face, none of Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai, and Shazhu took his words seriously. He was just trying to save face for himself.
Seeing that Sha Zhu had calmed down and had no intention of continuing to cause trouble for Xu Damao, Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai slowly released Sha Zhu.
Now it was finally Liu Haizhong's turn to make his appearance. He walked to the center of the courtyard and shouted at Wu Yu, "Wu Yu, come out and tell Xu Damao what's going on. Let the neighbors in the courtyard hear it too!"
Upon hearing Liu Haizhong call out to him, Wu Yu immediately stepped out from the crowd.
"Brother Da Mao, please give me back the 500 yuan you cheated me out of!"
"As long as you return my money, we'll call it even!"
Wu Yu put on a pitiful look and pleaded with Xu Damao.
Xu Damao, of course, wasn't buying it. Once the money was in his pocket, he was dreaming.
"Wu Yu, stop talking nonsense. Did I cheat you out of your money?"
"You begged me to bring it to you! And now you're trying to pull this on me!"
"Let me tell you, you're not getting any money!"
In front of everyone, Xu Damao spoke to Wu Yu with a clear conscience.
"How could I have given it to you willingly? You're the one who tricked me out of the 500 yuan!"
Wu Yu retorted loudly upon hearing Xu Damao's words.
"If you hadn't said your broken vase was valuable, would I have fallen for your trick?"
Hearing Wu Yu's words, Xu Damao sneered: "Heh, did I say my vase was valuable?"
"Who saw me say that!"
"Stop talking nonsense and spouting drivel!"
Xu Damao simply denied everything, no matter what Wu Yu said, he was determined that Wu Yu would not be able to produce any evidence.
Wu Yu had no evidence, of course. The only written contract that was actually in favor of Xu Damao was one that Wu Yu dared not bring up.
He just didn't dare to say it, but Xu Damao wouldn't tolerate that habit.
When Wu Yu tried to renege on the debt and asked for 500 yuan, Xu Damao took out the contract they had signed from his pocket.
Xu Damao unfolded the paper, waved it at everyone in the courtyard, and called out loudly, "Come on, everyone, come and take a look!"
"This is something written in black and white!"
"Everyone, just take a look at what's going on here!"
Xu Damao was about to show the contract to everyone in the compound when Wu Yu, Liu Haizhong, and the others tried to stop him, but they didn't have a suitable reason or excuse.
He could only watch as the people from the compound surrounded Xu Damao and all looked at the document he had produced.
Originally, everyone in the compound was on Liu Haizhong and Wu Yu's side, feeling that Liu Haizhong and Wu Yu had been cheated by Xu Damao and wanted Xu Damao to return the money.
But after everyone read the document signed by Wu Yu and Xu Damao, everyone in the compound fell silent.
Because it was written so clearly in black and white, even including a disclaimer, that no matter whether the vase Xu Damao sold to Wu Yu was real or fake, or how much it was worth, it could not be returned.
The people in the compound silently returned to their original positions, wanting to see what Liu Haizhong and Wu Yu would say.
Xu Damao held the document in his hand and waved it at Wu Yu and Liu Haizhong: "How is it?"
"Wu Yu, let me tell you, this is all written down in black and white."
"Don't even mention causing trouble in the compound today, even if you take it all the way to the peaked cap, I'll still be in the right!"
Xu Damao was quite fearless because he had this written agreement in his possession.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"You tricked me into writing this! Otherwise, would I have written this for you?"
Wu Yu pointed at Xu Damao angrily and started cursing, while also showing off the vase she was holding behind her.
"Everyone come and take a look! Xu Damao told me this thing was worth 2,000 yuan, he lied to me!"
"When I went outside and asked, I found out they could buy two for 80 cents!"
"Xu Damao never tells the truth!"
After crying and sobbing in front of everyone, Wu Yu turned to Xu Damao and shouted, "Xu Damao, how can you be so heartless!"
"That 500 yuan was all borrowed!"
