Xu Damao gave Sha Zhu a thumbs-up as encouragement.
"Xu Damao, you're talking nonsense. My relationship with Sister Qin is purely platonic, like siblings. Don't spout such nonsense in front of everyone."
Sha Zhu got angry. If Qin Huairu hadn't been holding him back, he would have rushed over by now. But that didn't stop him from fighting with Xu Damao. "I knew you grandson would never say anything nice. You still want to get married? You'll be a bachelor for life!"
"Alright, alright, never mind."
Xu Damao watched the spectacle with amusement.
However, after Xu Damao's commotion, Jia Dongxu, who was squatting next to Yi Zhonghai, changed his expression. He knew that Sha Zhu was after his wife.
Don't let his tough talk and fierce shouting fool you; he's scared inside. He did grab the kitchen knife in a moment of anger, and although he didn't really intend to kill Sha Zhu, he's now afraid that he might actually call the police.
Seeing his wife begging and submitting to Sha Zhu, he was furious, but he also hoped it would have an effect, so he pretended to be blind and not see it.
Now that Xu Damao has exposed him, Jia Dongxu has no face to keep up the act any longer.
"Silly Zhu, don't go too far. I was just bluffing you, I didn't mean to really do anything to you."
After Jia Dongxu finished speaking, he lowered his head, his words lacking any real conviction.
Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and gestured for the old woman and Jia Dongxu to help him up. "Zhuzi, it was wrong of Dongxu to threaten you with a knife, but he only did that because he suspected you had broken his window. I think we should just let this matter go."
Yi Zhonghai's words completely confused Sha Zhu, Wang Dabao, Xu Damao, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, and others.
"Yi Zhonghai, are you getting senile? You've been sitting in that old man's position for too long, do you really think you can call the shots in this compound?!"
Xu Damao disliked Sha Zhu and was equally annoyed by Yi Zhonghai. The old man had just said he would report them for forming cliques, so how could he possibly give him any face now? Besides, Wang Dabao and Liu Haizhong were standing behind him.
Sha Zhu stiffened his neck and twisted his mouth: "Hey Yi, are you out of your mind? I'll try to cut you with a knife and see if you can pretend it never happened?"
"Pillar, you..."
Yi Zhonghai had just recovered a little when Sha Zhu almost knocked him back down with one sentence: "Then what do you suggest we do?"
"Pay up, or you'll be locked up in jail."
Sha Zhu glanced at Wang Dabao, and when he saw Wang Dabao make a slap gesture and then point at Yi Zhonghai, he immediately understood. "It's just fifty yuan. Don't I owe you fifty yuan? If you want to pay it back for Jia Dongxu, then we'll call it even."
Wang Dabao didn't expect Sha Zhu to be so direct. Couldn't he have said it more tactfully?
