The next morning, Wang Dabao poured some water into the chamber pot as usual, put the lid on, and went to queue for the toilet.
Even though he only comes to queue twice a week, he's already starting to get annoyed.
Liu Guangfu was in front, carrying a full can. He had to put it down every now and then and pick it up again when the line moved forward. It was probably the urine of his entire family of four that was in there.
A moment later, Sha Zhu swaggered over, swinging his arms.
"Wang Dabao, I've seen through you. You're no good."
Before Wang Dabao could even greet him, Sha Zhu came up and said something that left him completely baffled.
Wang Dabao was taken aback. He had given Liu Haizhong advice last night, and Sha Zhu should not have known about it. Why would he say something like that?
"Zhu Zi, we're brothers, it hurts me to hear you say that." Wang Dabao turned his head and looked at Sha Zhu with an innocent expression.
"Come on, you."
Sha Zhu frowned, his already wrinkled face contorted, and said irritably, "Didn't you say you'd help me persuade Liu Haizhong? But he still cast his two votes for Xu Damao. If I had been elected as the steward, I wouldn't be in this predicament now. I don't even know how I'm going to get through the night."
"Hey, Zhu Zi, you mean this?!" Wang Dabao shook his head with a wry smile. "Xu Damao borrowed a lot of eggs from Lao Liu, but you didn't give anything. Just my words aren't as practical as giving something in return."
"I'm not trying to be mean, but Zhu Zi, you're just too honest."
Wang Dabao winked at Sha Zhu, "It's just fifty belts, it's not like we haven't been hit before, it's nothing serious, don't worry, it won't kill you!"
Sha Zhu, who had just calmed down, felt his disgust for Wang Dabao rise again: "Wang Dabao, what are you saying? What do you mean 'It's not like I haven't been through this before'? Are you laughing at me?!"
“Zhu Zi, let me tell you, I’m not laughing at you, and I don’t intend to. I’m here to give you a suggestion to help you get through this.”
Wang Dabao pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice, saying, "If you want to know, bring some food and drinks to my house tonight."
Sha Zhu was a little slow to process what was happening. Wang Dabao actually had a way to help him escape the robbery. He was willing to offer not only a drink, but also his wife.
Those who haven't been whipped by Liu Haizhong have no right to speak.
That's not the kind of beating a human being deserves!
Of course, the key point is that he doesn't have a wife. He might hesitate for half a minute if he offered Sister Qin to him, but Jia Dongxu definitely wouldn't agree.
"Da Bao, my good brother, don't wait until tonight. Just take pity on me and tell me now so I can be mentally prepared. I'll definitely come to find you tonight with food and drinks."
Sha Zhu panicked, his eyes filled with urgency. After putting the chamber pot on the ground, he freed his hand and grabbed Wang Dabao's arm tightly, refusing to let go. "Good brother, I'm begging you, please? Last time I was beaten so badly I passed out from the pain. Even a god couldn't bear that feeling!"
Wang Dabao sighed deeply and looked helplessly at Sha Zhu: "Zhu Zi, I'm in a difficult position about this. We're good brothers, that's why I told you. But let's make it clear beforehand, you absolutely cannot tell Yi Zhonghai. Also, if you're exposed, you can't implicate me, otherwise I won't be able to face Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao."
"Da Bao, just trust me this once, okay? I swear!"
Sha Zhu felt his legs go weak at the thought of Liu Haizhong's belt; pulling it out was no different from stabbing someone with a knife. "Besides," he said, "I'd love for Yi Zhonghai to get beaten up, so why would I tell him?"
Wang Dabao nodded to himself as if resigned to his fate: "It's actually very simple, just put something inside your clothes!"
"Will this work? They pulled down my pants last time!!"
Sha Zhu was a little suspicious, feeling that Wang Dabao's suggestion was not very reliable.
Wang Dabao clicked his tongue and said, "Just because it didn't work before doesn't mean it won't work this time. I can put in a good word for you. It's not honorable to have so many women watching!"
"Can it really work?"
Sha Zhu's expression was incredibly complex, his eyes pleading. When he saw Wang Dabao nod, he was overjoyed. "Dabao, you're truly my brother! You've saved my life! From now on, your business is my business. No one in this compound can mess with you, not even Yi Zhonghai."
Wang Dabao patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder: "Zhu Zi, I'm helping you not so you can be grateful to me, it's purely out of brotherly affection."
"Yes, yes, it's our brotherhood. I apologize for what I just said."
Sha Zhu looked a little embarrassed and lightly slapped his mouth twice. "I'm such a jerk. Da Bao, you've been so good to me, and I didn't appreciate it. I promise this will never happen again."
As the two were talking, they heard Yan Bugui's voice.
"Hey, what are you two doing?"
Sha Zhu glanced at Yan Bugui, too lazy to bother with him. This stingy Yan was very close to Xu Damao.
Yan Bugui snorted at Sha Zhu's appearance, "Don't want to talk to me? You think I like talking to you? I'm just reminding you to find the witnesses quickly, or you'll have a hard time tonight!"
Sha Zhu picked up the chamber pot from the ground, snorted coldly, and turned his head away from Yan Bugui.
"Hey, you're something else, Sha Zhu. Go ahead and do it this way. Your dad didn't have many good connections in the neighborhood back then, and even if he did, you've squandered them all..." Yan Bugui muttered to himself as he stood behind Sha Zhu.
"Hey, Sha Zhu, what are you doing?!"
Yan Bugui shouted loudly and stomped his feet incessantly.
Wang Dabao turned his head and saw that Yan Bugui's shoes were soaked, and half of his trouser legs were also wet. It was undoubtedly Sha Zhu's doing.
"I'm sorry, Uncle, I'm getting annoyed by your chanting. When I'm annoyed, I can't hold things properly. Please bear with me." Sha Zhu glanced at Yan Bugui's trouser leg. "Please stop grumbling, or I'll have trouble carrying this half-empty chamber pot."
Yan Bugui was so angry that he bit his lip: "Dabao, Dabao, look at the way Shazhu did this, how immoral is he!"
Just as Wang Dabao was about to say something, he saw Sha Zhu turn around again with the urinal, making a move to splash it at Yan Bugui's feet. Yan Bugui was so frightened that he quickly ran and jumped back.
"You idiot Zhu, you're really a scoundrel. Even I, as your uncle, don't want to lower myself to your level."
Seeing that Yan Bugui had fled far away, Sha Zhu turned his head to look ahead indifferently, which infuriated Yan Bugui.
