Yan Bugui was feeling very frustrated and couldn't get over it.
Anyone would feel uncomfortable if they were talked about behind their back, let alone being caught red-handed.
Although Yan Bugui is indeed stingy, shouting like that in front of others is like slapping someone in the face in public!
However, after Wang Dabao said that, Yan Bugui felt a little better. He immediately took a sip of hot water and said, "That kid Shazhu is just a scoundrel. I wouldn't really hold it against him. It's just that talking about people behind their backs is really annoying."
"Alright, Lao Yan, you're the second uncle now, you need to be more aware of your place. Don't bother with such trivial matters for a kid who has no parents."
Liu Haizhong sat upright on the sofa. Seeing that Wang Dabao's persuasion had some effect, but not much, he immediately spoke up as well.
Yan Bugui was already petty, and when Liu Haizhong mentioned it, he immediately clicked his tongue.
"I'm telling you, Lao Liu, that's not right. Last month you were with Sha Zhu and Gulu, and you were fighting like crazy."
Why didn't you consider that he was an orphan back then?!
Liu Haizhong was put in a bad position by Yan Bugui's retort, but he quickly regained his composure.
You have to understand that back then he was doing it to protect Section Chief Wang. Even if it happened again, he would still go!
“I didn’t start it. That kid Shazhu has a bad temper. He started it and nothing I said could stop him. He even hit me. I couldn’t just take it without fighting back.”
After calming down, Liu Haizhong spoke in a deep voice, glancing at Wang Dabao as he did so.
Wang Dabao chuckled upon seeing this: "Old Liu is right. I was there at the time. No one could tolerate that situation. It was indeed Sha Zhu who was in the wrong."
After listening to the commotion for a while, Xu Damao took a sip of water and said with a grin, "Shazhu does have quite a few faults, but we're still living in the same courtyard. It wouldn't be right for us to target him too much."
After putting down the small enamel mug, Xu Damao changed the subject.
"However, there is something I have to mention. Everyone in the compound knows that Sha Zhu is interested in Qin Huairu. Even the youngest son of the Yan family, Jie Kuang, can see it."
"Now that Jia Dongxu is paralyzed, I'm afraid Sha Zhu will take advantage of this. If things get out of control, it'll be terrible, and this kid will completely ruin the reputation of our compound!"
Although Xu Damao's face was serious, he was secretly very pleased with himself.
You idiot Zhu, aren't you good with a mouth?!
I, Xu Damao, am not the same Xu Damao I used to be. Now I am the Third Uncle in charge, and I have already broken into the core of the compound. If I want to deal with you, it's just a matter of saying a word!
After Xu Damao finished speaking, he squinted at Yan Bugui.
Upon receiving Xu Damao's signal for help, Yan Bugui didn't hesitate at all and immediately slapped his hand on the coffee table.
Even after realizing that they were at Wang Dabao's house, they couldn't help but hold back most of their strength.
“That fool Zhu is simply outrageous. The Jia family is already in this situation, and he’s still stirring things up. If this continues, rumors will soon spread throughout the compound. We must nip this in the bud, or the Jia family will be torn apart.”
"Of course not."
Xu Damao took out a cigarette and offered it to everyone. "Jia Dongxu is bedridden and can't move. Sha Zhu just seized the opportunity. Wasn't he just trying to curry favor with Qin Huairu, saying that if she needed coal, she could go to his house to get it?"
"Qin Huairu is just a young wife. How can you expect her to go to her house to get it? If you really want to give it to her, you can just deliver it directly. Sha Zhu is just insincere and has ulterior motives."
"Who knows what Qin Huairu is planning to do when she goes to his house? This is a difficult time for the Jia family. Qin Huairu will be left with no one to complain to."
Xu Damao's words left Wang Dabao and the other two speechless.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui seemed to have been fooled by Xu Damao. Their faces were serious and heavy. They were smoking cigarettes and deep in thought, still pondering these words.
Wang Dabao was a little surprised. Goodness, Xu Damao had really put a big label on Sha Zhu, he was in for a lot of trouble.
"Oh no, how could I not have thought of that?"
Yan Bugui slapped his thigh, "Before, Sha Zhu had such thoughts, but it was only on his face, a few words to gain an advantage. But now it's different! With Jia Dongxu paralyzed, Sha Zhu might become reckless. Plus, with the Jia family's wealth, who can guarantee that nothing will go wrong!!"
Liu Haizhong nodded in agreement: "It seems we need to take this matter seriously. We can't let it continue like this; the reputation of the compound can't be allowed to get any worse."
Wang Dabao watched silently from the side, only continuing to refill the hot water for the three of them.
Ultimately, Liu Haizhong made the decision to talk to Sha Zhu about this matter when he had time, to straighten out his thoughts and correct them.
Under no circumstances should you do anything that disrupts the order of the compound or tarnishes its reputation.
Meanwhile, Jia Dongxu, inside the Jia family's house, harbored no less resentment.
He punched the empty blanket beneath him twice, muttering that he would make Sha Zhu and Xu Damao pay the price.
Now he is paralyzed on the kang (a heated brick bed), watching his wife being harassed, and he has very few ways to retaliate.
At this moment, he thought of his master, Yi Zhonghai, and gritted his teeth again. If Yi Zhonghai were still the head steward, he could still think of a way, but now Xu Damao was the third head steward, which made things difficult.
If that doesn't work, we'll have to start with Sha Zhu.
He can't move, but the Jia family still has people who can, he still has his son.
When Qin Huairu returned home, she did not notice anything unusual about Jia Dongxu. Ever since he became paralyzed, Jia Dongxu had been looking grumpy most of the time.
