This time, Yi Zhonghai was also caught off guard.
No one would have imagined that Xu Damao would have such audacity to attack him.
Wang Dabao almost spat out his White Rabbit candy when he saw Yi Zhonghai take the slap squarely.
Yi Zhonghai quickly turned his head to the side, stumbled, and fell to the ground.
A neighbor reacted quickly and caught him, preventing him from hitting his head on the ground, but even so, he still fell quite hard.
"Oh dear, sir."
The old woman immediately let go of Sha Zhu and rushed to Yi Zhonghai's side, saying, "Xu Damao, you wicked bastard, how could you lay a hand on my husband, Lao Yi?"
Sha Zhu, his eyes red, shouted through the pain in his arm, "You, surnamed Xu, if you've got the guts, come at me! I'm an old man, why are you arguing with him?"
As he spoke, Sha Zhu was about to rush over, but He Yushui held him back tightly.
With the help of an older woman, Yi Zhonghai sat up from the ground and looked at Jia Dongxu again. "Dongxu, hurry up and call the police!"
Jia Dongxu's eyes flickered; he wanted to leave but didn't dare.
At that moment, Wang Dabao was standing to the side, staring intently at him.
If he moves, he'll be dragged back like a chick, and this time he might even get a slap in the face.
"Dongxu, listen to your third uncle, don't go to the police yet."
Yan Bugui came out again, his face serious. He was very uncomfortable because Yi Zhonghai had just humiliated him.
He was the most educated of the three old men, but he was always suppressed by Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong. Today, seeing Yi Zhonghai being beaten, he finally found a chance to speak.
"No matter what, we need to know why Xu Damao hit someone."
Yan Bugui shouted to the surrounding neighbors, "Xu Damao was wrong to hit someone, but he and Shazhu have always been at odds. Over the years, everyone has gotten used to watching them fight. Although this time it was a bit serious, it really shouldn't have escalated to the point of calling the police."
"If Xu Damao is arrested, who will pay for Shazhu's medical expenses?"
"Besides, Da Mao's parents only moved away less than two years ago. They're old neighbors. How can we bear to send their child to jail?"
Yan Bugui's words resonated with the neighbors, who all nodded in agreement.
"Old Yan is absolutely right. Although Old Xu isn't a great guy, he's lived in the courtyard for so many years. He's only been gone for a short time. We can't bully Da Mao. It won't sound good if word gets out."
"That's not right. We didn't bully Xu Damao. It was Yi Zhonghai who bullied him!"
"You know what, last time Sha Zhu kicked Xu Damao in the crotch, and good grief, he lay on the ground for a long time without getting up. When Xu Damao wanted to call the police, an old man stopped him, saying that he was looking out for the sake of the neighbors and said a lot of nice things. But what happened? Now that Sha Zhu is the one who got beaten up, he has a completely different story. It doesn't make sense."
"Say less, everyone. Didn't you see how pale the old man's face turned? Be careful, or he'll make things difficult for you later."
“It’s not the time for military control now. He’s just a big shot in charge. You may be afraid of him, but I’m not.”
"After all this talk, we still don't know why Xu Damao hit Sha Zhu?!"
Wang Dabao gestured to the surrounding residents who had come to watch the commotion: "I heard what everyone said, and I'm sure Yi Zhonghai heard it clearly too. I advise you all to say less. Living in the same compound, you'll inevitably have to work together in the future. Be careful that someone doesn't hold a grudge and try to make things difficult for you."
Wang Dabao's words drew a burst of laughter from the crowd.
Yi Zhonghai's face turned even greener, he was so angry at Wang Dabao for being such a troublemaker: "Wang Dabao, what nonsense are you spouting? I, Yi Zhonghai, am not that kind of person. I have a clear conscience."
Yi Zhonghai had always built and maintained his reputation in the compound, helping each other, being united and friendly, and respecting the elderly. How could he not be anxious when he saw that the reputation he had built up over the years was about to be destroyed?
"Wang Dabao, this is none of your business, don't meddle."
Liu Haizhong spoke in an official tone, his fat face poised, thinking himself full of authority.
When Yan Bugui heard that Liu Haizhong had pointed his gun at Wang Dabao, he immediately became unhappy. "Old Liu, you're wrong to say that. Dabao is also a resident of the compound. He has the right to make suggestions on how to resolve conflicts. How can you say that he's just meddling?"
Wang Dabao patted Xu Damao on the shoulder, "Damao, it's not that I don't want to help you, but as you can see, it's too difficult for me to speak up for you. This group of people are obviously bullying you."
Xu Damao was already furious, and he almost exploded after hearing Wang Dabao's words.
He almost pointed at Liu Haizhong's nose: "You, surnamed Liu, you and that old bastard Yi Zhonghai are birds of a feather. You act like bullies in the compound and even dare to bully me."
"Xu Damao".
Liu Haizhong also lost his temper. Xu Damao pointed his finger at his nose, which was an insult in front of so many people.
Liu Haizhong was a man who cared a lot about his reputation, so how could he endure such humiliation? He immediately reached out and slapped Xu Damao's finger.
"Smack!"
"Bang!"
He didn't manage to slap her, but he still got a slap and a kick from Xu Damao.
Xu Damao's kick was delivered with hatred, and it sent Liu Haizhong rolling twice on the ground before stopping.
"Lawless, utterly lawless!"
While Liu Haizhong was wailing on the ground, he did not forget to accuse Xu Damao.
Wang Dabao laughed. If they weren't so far apart, he would have definitely taken the opportunity to kick Liu Haizhong. That old bastard is not only obsessed with officialdom, but also incredibly cunning.
Of course, this excludes teaching apprentices.
