Yi Zhonghai stumbled over again.
“Zhu Zi, I’ve already explained it, you have to believe me.”
However, Yi Zhonghai ultimately underestimated Sha Zhu's intelligence and was still kicked away. "It's all your fault. If anything happens to my grandmother, you won't have an easy time either."
Sha Zhu hurriedly helped the deaf old woman up, only to see blood slowly seeping from her forehead. He had no choice but to beg the neighbors to go to the next courtyard to find Doctor Zhou.
Sha Zhu helped the deaf old woman to sit down, then stared intently at Xu Damao.
Xu Damao felt uneasy under Sha Zhu's gaze: "Sha Zhu, are you out of your mind? The deaf old lady's condition is entirely her own fault, it has nothing to do with me. Try looking at me again."
Xu Damao was still angry. If it weren't for the deaf old woman interfering, Sha Zhu would have been taken away by now.
The crowd gathered around the deaf old woman, looking at her like a little devil, and exchanging bewildered glances, unsure of what to do.
"Don't worry, Da Mao, the old lady's death has nothing to do with you."
Wang Dabao lowered his voice and said, "Everyone's eyes are sharp. The deaf old lady bumped into it herself, and she has only herself to blame for the injuries."
Xu Damao stood there, his face pale, but after hearing Wang Dabao's words, he felt much more at ease.
With Section Chief Wang protecting him, it would be difficult for anything to happen in this family compound.
Yi Zhonghai stood up, rubbing his aching back. His squinting eyes were filled with resentment. He should have killed Sha Zhu earlier.
Soon, Dr. Zhou from the next courtyard arrived carrying his medicine kit.
Upon entering the Intermediate People's Court, one could see that both Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui had marks on their faces from being beaten.
Looking at Yi Zhonghai again, he was even more shocked. If it weren't for his clothes and figure, he wouldn't have recognized him. He had been beaten too badly.
This is Yi Zhonghai, such a illustrious man, how did he fall into such a miserable state?
What's wrong with this Hongxing Courtyard? Is it cursed or something? The residents can't stand it if they don't fight for a while!
Every time a fight breaks out, it results in group injuries, as if the area has been raided by bandits.
Seeing Doctor Zhou coming towards him, Yi Zhonghai quickly waved his hand and pointed to the deaf old woman in Sha Zhu's arms.
Dr. Zhou looked closely and exclaimed, "Who is this? Could it be the old matriarch from the Red Star Courtyard? This fight is fierce! She even beat up the old lady!"
After examining the elderly woman, Dr. Zhou stated that she only had superficial injuries on her face, but he suspected she had suffered a mild concussion.
However, given his advanced age, he may experience other symptoms, which require observation.
Dr. Zhou prescribed some medicine, gave a few instructions, took one yuan from Sha Zhu, and left.
Sha Zhu's tense nerves relaxed a little. He glared fiercely at Xu Damao and carried the deaf old lady to the backyard.
While everyone's attention was focused on the departing Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai quietly pulled Wang Dabao aside and whispered, "Brother Dabao, look at what happened today. It was just a misunderstanding. How you handle it is up to you. I'll come to your house to see you tomorrow and bring you some good tea."
Wang Dabao raised an eyebrow. "Old Yi, I don't have the final say on this. I'm just a resident now, so I have to listen to Old Liu and the other managers."
Xu Damao watched Sha Zhu leave, feeling secretly annoyed, determined to get revenge for kicking him in the groin.
Yan Bugui, holding his broken glasses, approached Liu Haizhong and said, "Old Liu, this matter can't just end like this. Look at this big mark next to my ear, look at my glasses, and look at the big bump on your forehead. This isn't over yet."
"Yes, Dad, I got hit too."
Liu Guangtian also came over and rubbed his shoulders.
Liu Haizhong scratched his forehead, looking troubled: "If the security department gets involved, then the street office will definitely be notified. Once the situation is clear, our supervisor will also be implicated and may be dismissed!"
Did it take Liu Haizhong so long to climb to the position of an old man? After all these years, he finally got his wish, but he still hasn't had enough of sitting there.
"What should we do then? We can't just let this go like this."
Yan Bugui was furious, but he also cherished his position as the second uncle. "If this matter is just left like this, what will become of Sha Zhu in this courtyard? He's already stepping on our heads. Who will be able to control him in the future?"
"that is."
Liu Guangtian echoed.
Xu Damao was also pulled over by Liu Haizhong: "When you blocked the door, did you hear what Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu were saying inside, or did you hear any strange noises?"
Xu Damao was taken aback, then shook his head.
He didn't even block the door, so how could he hear anything?
However, at this point, all we can say is that we didn't hear it.
Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth: "Then this is all a misunderstanding!"
Hearing Liu Haizhong's words, the others were completely stunned. Had it all turned out to be a misunderstanding?!
After hearing Wang Dabao's words, Yi Zhonghai dawdled and walked towards Liu Haizhong and the others.
Upon seeing him approach, all eyes turned to him.
"I know none of you will believe me no matter what I say now. Although Zhu Zi hit me, I also know that this was a misunderstanding caused by me, which led to this result."
A hint of melancholy appeared on Yi Zhonghai's swollen face. "But Zhuzi is still young. If this matter escalates to the security department, he will definitely lose his job. He's not married yet, and he'll have trouble supporting himself in the future, let alone getting married."
“This matter started because of me. How about this, everyone? I will compensate you for your losses, and we can resolve this matter right here in the courtyard.”
Xu Damao was about to go up and say a few sarcastic remarks to Yi Zhonghai when Yan Bugui pulled him back.
Upon hearing about compensation, Yan Bugui's small frame burst forth with tremendous energy.
Yan Bugui hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Yi Zhonghai, you have to keep your word. Our losses, including the emotional damage, are not small."
"Don't worry, I won't go back on my word." Yi Zhonghai nodded.
Seeing this, Xu Damao sneered: "Yi Zhonghai, you are really noble, using your own money to buy Sha Zhu's safety."
Yi Zhonghai understood Xu Damao's sarcasm, but this was not the time to take it seriously.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Haizhong said, "Alright, since you put it that way, let's do it your way. We've all been beaten, so how do you plan to compensate us?"
"Five yuan per person."
“No way, I charge more than five yuan just to repair glasses,” Yan Bugui was the first to object.
Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath: "Old Yan, I'll pay for your glasses repair separately. I'll give you five yuan more after it's fixed."
Hearing that he could get five yuan back after his glasses were repaired, Yan Bugui's expression improved considerably, though he still kept a stern face.
Liu Haizhong had already checked; although everyone had been beaten, no one was injured.
Now that Yi Zhonghai is demanding compensation, this is a good opportunity to resolve the matter. Everyone knows Yi Zhonghai's intentions, so it's a good time to back down gracefully.
