Liu Haizhong stood up and paced back and forth.
“Old Yi, if that idiot Zhu dares to bother Qin Huairu again, I, as his old man, will definitely teach him a lesson. But this is also your fault for being so muddle-headed.”
Liu Haizhong abruptly changed the subject, his squinty eyes looking at Yi Zhonghai with a critical gaze, "Did you organize the four-family gathering for the New Year?!"
Yi Zhonghai realized what was happening and sighed again, "This is my fault for not thinking things through!"
“We had already talked to Sha Zhu before, and then because of Qin Huairu, Da Mao and I had a conflict with Sha Zhu, which made him calm down a bit. But what happened? You didn’t even discuss it with everyone and secretly organized four families to celebrate the New Year together, and now you’ve brought those two together again!”
Yan Bugui nodded in agreement, “That’s right, Lao Yi, you’re confused about this! Everyone knows the Jia family’s situation. If Sha Zhu gets involved, it will only make things worse.”
"I was wrong before, and I need to make a deep self-criticism. This time, you tell me what to do, and I will listen to you."
Yi Zhonghai looked regretful. "For the sake of harmony in our compound, and also to save Zhu Zi and Huai Ru, we must come up with a reliable method!"
Outside, after Liu Haizhong and the other two left.
Xu Damao said gloatingly, "Hey, what's wrong with Sha Zhu? Did you have a fight with Lao Yi?"
Sha Zhu glared at him, ignored him, and walked straight towards his home.
"Stop right there! Didn't you hear me telling you not to leave? We'll talk to you when my dad and second uncle get back."
Liu Guangtian chuckled: "Hey Shazhu, I advise you not to be too picky. That chubby girl is a good match for you. If you miss out on her, I don't think you'll be set for life."
Xu Damao seized the opportunity to fan the flames: "Silly Zhu, you're not a kid anymore, stop being so picky. Just like Guangtian said, that chubby girl is really nice. Just think about it, how cuddly she'd be in bed at night. It's just that your bed board needs to be reinforced, it's easy to break!"
"Being related to Pigsy is a blessing you've accumulated over many lifetimes, Sha Zhu. Don't take your good fortune for granted, or you'll miss out on this opportunity!"
Not to be outdone, Liu Guangfu approached Sha Zhu and started making sarcastic remarks.
Liu Guangfu believed that since Sha Zhu was alone while there were four of them, even if a fight broke out, Sha Zhu wouldn't gain the upper hand.
"Bang!"
Sha Zhu knocked Liu Guangfu to the ground with a single punch to the sandbag.
Yan Jiecheng's heart was pounding in his chest. He had just squeezed through the crowd and was about to open his mouth to insult Sha Zhu when Liu Guangfu, who was in front of him, was knocked down by Sha Zhu with a single punch.
Thank goodness he didn't mention Liu Guangfu first, otherwise he would have been the one to fall.
Before Wang Dabao arrived, Sha Zhu was the strongest fighter in the compound, and no one would deny that.
"Shazhu, you... why are you hitting people?" Yan Jiecheng took a step back.
“Silly Zhu, I’m cursing my grandma.”
It was Liu Guangtian who was cursing; as soon as he uttered a sentence, he kicked Sha Zhu.
As the people inside Yi Zhonghai's house were racking their brains for a solution, a commotion broke out outside.
"Oh no, a fight has broken out."
Yan Bugui slapped his thigh and was the first to run out.
Everyone rushed out to check, and lo and behold, Yan Jiecheng was the only one standing there.
Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian were already rolling around on the ground with Sha Zhu.
Yan Bugui rushed to the three men rolling on the ground, but he didn't dare to break them up. He could only shout, "Stop it! Stop it! What kind of behavior is this!"
But the three men, engrossed in their fight, wouldn't listen and continued their cursing and swearing.
Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai, and Uncle Zhou arrived shortly after. Upon seeing the scene, Liu Haizhong's face darkened, and he shouted, "Stop right there!"
As soon as Liu Haizhong uttered his authoritative voice, Liu Guangtian trembled and immediately stopped, only to be punched by Sha Zhu again.
"Old Yi, Old Zhou, stop standing there and pull them apart quickly."
Liu Haizhong got angry when he saw his son being beaten. If this were before he was a big shot, he would have joined the fight long ago.
But now his status is different, and Yi Zhonghai is right next to him. He still understands the principle of not giving others a handle to use against him.
Seeing this, Yan Bugui and his son also stepped forward to break up the fight. With so many people involved, they quickly separated the people.
However, at the very end, while Yi Zhonghai and Uncle Zhou were holding Sha Zhu back, Liu Guangfu slapped Sha Zhu's head so hard it almost ripped it off; he really went all out.
Sha Zhu didn't want to suffer a loss either. Unable to catch Liu Guangfu, he used a groin kick to take down Xu Damao.
Xu Damao had been cursing and standing to one side, but Yi Zhonghai and Uncle Zhou managed to pull Sha Zhu over as well.
Xu Damao thought the fight was over and now it was time to talk things over.
Who would have thought that Sha Zhu would have no sense of martial ethics at all, kicking him in the groin without warning? Where can you even complain about this?
Xu Damao knelt on the ground, clutching his crotch, tilting his head and staring intently at Sha Zhu, his eyes full of questioning, as if to say, "Go find whoever hit you, why the hell did you kick me?"
Instead, Sha Zhu spat on Xu Damao's head.
Xu Damao almost fainted from anger.
"Shazhu, if you keep doing this, we'll hand you over to the police station!" Liu Haizhong roared.
"Go to hell!" Sha Zhu gasped for breath, his eyes bloodshot as he pointed at Xu Damao on the ground, then looked at the Liu brothers: "If you dare to gossip again, it won't be so simple next time."
Xu Damao was in so much pain he couldn't utter a word, but Liu Guangtian spat out, "Silly Zhu, let me tell you, this isn't over yet."
Yan Bugui's small eyes darted around a couple of times, then he put on a stern face and looked at the group seriously. "We were just discussing how to maintain harmony in the courtyard, and you guys started fighting right here. Don't you have any manners?"
After the fight, Sha Zhu was now sober and his body was full of adrenaline.
He sneered, "Hmph, Yan Bugui, are you blind? They ganged up on me and they still have the nerve to talk about rules?"
Liu Haizhong stomped his feet in anger, "Shazhu, I've already asked, and you were the one who hit my Guangfu first. No matter what, hitting someone is wrong."
Sha Zhu retorted, "They provoked me first, so they should be prepared to take the beating."
Yi Zhonghai stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, alright, everyone made mistakes. Sha Zhu, you can't act so impulsively in the future. As for the three of you, you shouldn't have teased Sha Zhu like that."
Xu Damao tilted his head, looking at this person and then at that person, but no one came over to help him up.
Struggling to his feet, Xu Damao glared fiercely at Sha Zhu, wishing he could bite him: "Sha Zhu, you're something else. Don't ever fall into my hands again."
At this moment, Uncle Zhou, who had been silent until now, spoke up.
“We’re all neighbors, we see each other all the time, there’s no need to make a scene like this. Check if any of you are hurt. If you’re alright, go home first, don’t escalate the conflict here.”
Liu Haizhong waved his hand and said, "Let's leave this matter here. No one is allowed to cause trouble again, or they will be severely punished."
Although Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian were unwilling, they couldn't say anything more.
Sha Zhu snorted coldly and walked away cursing.
