Wang Dabao sat in the first row and watched Sha Zhu's acting skills.
It's really good!
Those two steps were quite appropriate, but unfortunately, the development of film and television in mainland China was still very backward at that time. Otherwise, Wang Dabao would have recommended him to make a film no matter what.
Amidst the bewildered gazes of the crowd, Xu Damao strode over to Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, and complained in a low voice, "Uncle, Uncle, go and take a look! Shazhu cheated by putting something under his butt! Can you believe it? Everyone saw it! What kind of behavior is this?!"
When Sha Zhu saw Xu Damao run over to complain, he also covered his buttocks and came to the neighbors.
"Everyone, be the judge! Xu Damao was beating me up when he falsely accused me of cheating. Isn't he just trying to beat me up for nothing? Even if he's a mediator, he can't do things like this. Isn't this bullying?!"
Sha Zhu slapped his thigh and cried to his neighbors.
"Brother Da Bao, you be the judge. Is this how things are done?"
Sha Zhu looked at Wang Dabao with pleading eyes, "Even if Xu Damao hates me, he can't use this as an excuse to take revenge on me!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Dabao immediately sat up straight. Good grief, you got caught cheating and now you want to drag me down with you? You're really something!
"Jie Kuang, what do you think about this?" Wang Dabao turned his head and passed the ball to Yan Jie Kuang.
"Easy."
Yan Jiekuang was a little puzzled. Why couldn't Uncle Dabao handle such a simple matter? Why did he have to ask him, a child? "Why don't you just take off your pants and see?"
Wang Dabao and his neighbors nodded in agreement. It was such a simple matter.
“No, I can’t take my pants off. I can’t afford to lose face like this,” Sha Zhu immediately retorted.
Wang Dabao smiled and looked at Yan Jiekuang again, his meaning clear: your plan has been rejected by Shazhu, so what do you do now?
"Well... there's a way."
Yan Jiekuang chuckled, "Xu Damao was framed, which is why Shazhu was punished. Now that Shazhu says Xu Damao is framing him, if it is proven that Shazhu did not cheat, then the rest of the belt can be spared."
"Then what if it proves that Sha Zhu cheated?"
Aunt Wang, who was behind, hurriedly shouted and asked.
The neighbors in the courtyard were all eager to hear what ten-year-old Yan Jiekuang thought about the matter and what his solution would be.
"If Sha Zhu cheats, then things will be even easier."
Yan Jiekuang chuckled, "It's just like when we make mistakes at school and are punished by having to do more homework. Sha Zhu not only shows no remorse, but also tries to cheat to get away with it, so the only punishment is to do more homework... or to be punished by having to draw double the number of belts."
When Sha Zhu heard this, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. The punishment was an even number of slaps? That would kill him! They might as well just send him to the police station and have him shot.
Wang Dabao and the others were equally shocked; could this be compared to being punished with extra homework?
An even number means a hundred belts. With Xu Damao's ruthlessness, Wang Dabao had no doubt that he could beat the flesh off Sha Zhu's buttocks!
Everyone understood and began to discuss how a hundred belts were too much, fearing they would beat Sha Zhu's buttocks raw.
Hearing the surrounding chatter, Yan Jiekuang's eyes sharpened: "Is drawing even numbers of sticks too much to punish?"
"Even we kids know that being caught cheating will result in severe punishment, how could idiot Zhu not know that?!"
"When we cheat on exams at school, we have to write out all the questions ten or a hundred times. Twice is the bare minimum. If all else fails, we can spread the belt across our thighs and back!"
Sha Zhu stared at Yan Jiekuang in disbelief, thinking to himself that this kid was quite considerate, having already thought of how he would get beaten up.
Xu Damao heard Yan Jiekuang's solution and immediately slammed his fist on the table in agreement: "Gentlemen, did you hear that? Even a kid like Jiekuang, who is only ten years old, knows that you can't cheat. Shazhu, who is a grown man, knowingly broke the law. Doubling the punishment is too lenient."
"I didn't cheat, Xu Damao, you son of a bitch, you need to provide evidence for your words." Sha Zhu still refused to admit it, but his confidence was clearly somewhat lacking.
"Hey, you still won't admit it, huh?!"
Xu Damao tilted his big head and looked at everyone, "Listen up, everyone. I'm going to correct Yan Jiekuang's method again. If it is confirmed that Shazhu cheated, the number of belts will be doubled. If he didn't cheat, I won't draw any more belts, and the matter will be over."
After saying that, Xu Damao glanced at Sha Zhu with a mocking look in his eyes.
Sha Zhu was a little unsure how to deal with the situation, and the neighbors started arguing.
"Hey, let me tell you, the fact that Xu Damao dared to say that means he's convinced Sha Zhu cheated. He's got something on him! If he doubles the beating, he'll beat Sha Zhu so badly his own father won't recognize him!"
"You know what, it's been so many years. If He Daqing came back, the two of them might not recognize each other on the street."
"Look at the expression on Sha Zhu's face. He's obviously guilty. It seems he really cheated. Otherwise, why would Xu Damao keep bringing this up?"
"That's it, fifty belts double to a hundred, even if you beat him all over, it'll be enough to leave Sha Zhu with his skin torn and bleeding."
"Smack!"
"Smack!!"
Several loud slaps on the table drew everyone's attention.
Liu Haizhong stared at Sha Zhu with a gloomy face: "Sha Zhu, tell the truth, did you cheat or not? Don't wait until we find it during a body search, then it won't be so simple."
"No, I'm not the kind of person who cheats."
Sha Zhu still stubbornly roared, "It's so cold now, and I'm injured. What's wrong with wearing more clothes? You're accusing me of cheating. I won't accept that."
Xu Damao jogged to within two or three meters of Sha Zhu, grinned, and pointed at him: "Sha Zhu, are you fucking an idiot? You're cold because your arm is injured, why are you wearing extra clothes over your butt?"
Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, everyone in the courtyard burst into laughter.
Liu Haizhong started banging on the table again.
"Old Yan and I just discussed it, and doubling the punishment for Sha Zhu's cheating would be too harsh, so we decided to add ten belts, which means another sixty belts. But if it is found that Xu Damao is lying, then this matter will be dropped, and Sha Zhu will not be punished anymore."
Do you all think this plan is reasonable?
"Adding ten belts is too little. It should be at least twenty belts, considering how much effort I put in just now," Xu Damao muttered discontentedly.
"Alright, Da Mao."
Wang Dabao chuckled and comforted him, "That's quite a lot. You really want to beat Sha Zhu to death, don't you!"
After the neighbors quieted down, Liu Haizhong waved his hand and said, "Guangtian, Guangfu, and Yan Jiecheng, the three of you bring Shazhu over. I will personally inspect him."
The two generals, Heng and Ha, immediately took orders and walked towards the stunned Sha Zhu.
Yan Jiecheng also stood up from the crowd, chuckling as he ran towards Shazhu.
Sha Zhu never expected that Liu Haizhong would have someone control him and personally pull down his pants to check him.
