"Hmph, people like that shouldn't be allowed to stay in the yard."
Sha Zhu, standing next to him, deliberately spoke loudly, glancing at Xu Damao with a defiant look in his eyes.
Seeing this, Xu Damao stiffened his neck, his face full of heartache and indignation: "Jia Dongxu, Jia Dongxu, so many years as neighbors, you can only know a person's face but not their heart! Old Yi treated you so well, but you're worse than an animal, you beast..."
Xu Damao bent over, twisted his donkey head, and sprayed a stream of fluid onto Jia Dongxu, who was kneeling on the ground.
Jia Dongxu was so angry he looked like a powder keg about to explode, almost ready to jump up and give Xu Damao a couple of bites.
Seeing Jia Dongxu's angry face and red neck, Xu Damao stopped talking.
Then he glanced smugly at Sha Zhu, as if to say, "See? I'm still better than you!!!"
Sha Zhu wanted to go up and confront Jia Dongxu, but Liu Haizhong pushed him aside.
"Alright, you're just watching a show, why are you making a fuss?"
Liu Haizhong came over and tried to persuade Jia Dongxu, saying, "Dongxu, kneeling like this isn't a solution. If I were your master, I wouldn't forgive you either. I think we should just let this go and go home quickly, or you'll definitely get sick."
Now that Liu Haizhong is an old man, his level of thinking has suddenly risen.
Seeing that Jia Dongxu remained unmoved, Liu Haizhong sighed, "You saw it just now, Wang Dabao went in to plead for you. Your master... oh right, Yi Zhonghai isn't your master anymore, but he didn't show any sign of softening his heart."
"Anyway, if it were me, I would find it hard to forgive you too! Alright, go home, don't let the neighbors laugh at you."
Liu Haizhong didn't want this incident to get out, fearing it would damage his reputation.
The cold wind was blowing on Jia Dongxu, making him shiver and drink water. Even the scolding that made his face turn red couldn't warm him up. How could he not want to go home?
But once we got home, after a few days the whole family ate and drank whatever they wanted!
Wang Dabao came out of Yi Zhonghai's house, glanced at Jia Dongxu, then went to Yan Bugui's side, rubbed Yan Jiekuang's head a few times, and then took out two White Rabbit candies from his pocket and handed them over.
"Thank you, Uncle Xie."
Yan Jiekuang took the candy with a grin, peeled one open and put it in his mouth under the gazes of Yan Bugui and Yan Jiefang, and put the remaining one in his pocket.
Yan Jiefang smacked his lips twice, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to ask his younger brother for candy.
Yan Bugui took out some economical cigarettes and handed them to Wang Dabao. He lit one for himself and then stuffed it back into his pocket, making Yan Jiecheng, who was standing next to him, stare longingly.
"Da Bao, what do you think we should do?"
Yan Bugui looked at Jia Dongxu, who was shivering from the cold, and said, "Jia Dongxu is really not a good person. Lao Yi has always been good to his family and thought of them in everything. How could he do such a thing?"
Wang Dabao knew the details, but he couldn't tell.
At this moment, Qin Huairu squeezed through the crowd. Her hair was a little messy, and she looked at Jia Dongxu with anxiety in her eyes.
She had seen everything that happened from outside the crowd and knew that she had to ask Wang Dabao for help. After all, among these people, it seemed that Yi Zhonghai was the only one who gave Wang Dabao face.
With red eyes, Qin Huairu approached Wang Dabao, grabbed his arm, and pulled him close.
"Brother Da Bao, Sister Qin, please go and plead for Dong Xu again, okay? Look, he's been kneeling here for so long, he'll freeze if he keeps kneeling any longer."
Wang Dabao really wanted to say, "Big sister, this is winter, not summer. You're hugging my arm and rubbing against me, but I can't feel a thing!"
"Qin Huairu, it's not that I don't want to help. Didn't you see? I already pleaded for her."
Wang Dabao pulled his arm out of Qin Huairu's arms, thinking to himself that Jia Dongxu was still alive, and Qin Huairu had already started playing ranked games.
"After what Jia Dongxu did, Lao Yi must have some resentment. It's only natural that he would forgive him so easily. Could you have done the same thing in his place?"
Qin Huairu tried to lean on Wang Dabao, but Yan Jiekuang pushed her away.
"You should ask Sha Zhu for help; that guy will definitely help you."
Yan Jiekuang chewed on a White Rabbit milk candy and spoke.
Sha Zhu, who had been keeping an eye on the situation, received the message and immediately squeezed over. His face was long and drawn. He glanced at Wang Dabao and then turned his gaze to Qin Huairu.
"Sister Qin, the way your Jia Dongxu handled this matter is truly appalling. If it were me, I would have thrown him out long ago. How could I let him kneel here like this?!"
Seeing Qin Huairu's unpleasant expression, Sha Zhu immediately changed his mind: "How about I go in and talk to Yi Zhonghai?"
Qin Huairu bit her lip. "Zhuzi, Dongxu knows he was wrong. He was out of his mind that day, and with others pressuring him, he did something foolish. He will never do it again."
Sha Zhu kept nodding, but his feet wouldn't move.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu used the same trick again, grabbing Sha Zhu's arm and saying, "Zhu Zi, you should go in and plead for me. For the sake of our years of teacher-student relationship, please ask Master Yi to forgive Dongxu."
"Ouch!!!"
Sha Zhu chuckled and sighed twice, remaining rooted to the spot, wholeheartedly savoring the warmth emanating from Qin Huairu's embrace, while Yan Jiecheng, watching from the side, swallowed hard.
It wasn't until Qin Huairu hugged Sha Zhu's arm and shook it: "Go quickly, Zhu Zi, your brother Dongxu won't be able to hold on any longer."
Sha Zhu then scurried into the house.
The reason why Sha Zhu was so confident was because the deaf old lady told him that Yi Zhonghai wanted to reconcile, so he thought he might as well take this opportunity to help Qin Huairu.
He also wanted to prove that he was no worse than Wang Dabao, and let Qin Huairu see for herself.
A short while later, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu came out and said to Jia Dongxu, "I'll forgive you this time for Da Bao and Zhu Zi's sake. Alright, go home now, and behave yourself properly from now on."
After Wang Dabao's guidance, Yi Zhonghai understood: from now on, we'll see how things go.
Jia Dongxu felt like he had been granted a pardon, and he shrank his neck and nodded hurriedly: "Thank you, Master, thank you, Brother Dabao, I will definitely turn over a new leaf."
Seeing this, Wang Dabao stepped forward and patted Jia Dongxu on the shoulder, "To know one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue. But you must behave well in the future and not do such foolish things again."
Jia Dongxu disregarded everything else and quickly nodded in agreement.
