Everyone was stunned by Xu Damao's words and began to whisper among themselves.
Qin Huairu's face turned pale. She wanted to speak up but didn't know where to begin. Her mother-in-law was indeed in the wrong.
Jia Zhangshi also froze on the spot, her tantrum coming to an abrupt halt.
Xu Damao sneered, "You have to give me an explanation today, or this isn't over. Do you think you can just spread rumors and slander without taking responsibility? There's no such thing as a free lunch. I think you'll never realize your mistakes unless we lock you up in the police station."
"If they can slander me, Xu Damao, today, they can slander others in the compound tomorrow. If they can say I had a child with a widow today, they can say someone else is keeping three or four women outside."
“Listen up, everyone. Do you still dare to deal with people like this in the future? They might be a hidden danger if they stay in our compound.”
Yan Bugui stood to the side with a stern face, not saying a word. Even if Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu were to spread such rumors, it would be better to scold Xu Damao than to spread these rumors.
Fortunately, Xu Fugui and his wife didn't know about this. If they had heard about it, they would have definitely come and tore Jia Zhangshi's mouth apart, and beaten Qin Huairu's mother so badly that she wouldn't have recognized her.
Shazhu was in so much pain that he was screaming, but no one was willing to help him up, so they just let him roll around on the ground.
Yan Bugui glanced at Sha Zhu, almost saying he deserved it, since there were still traces of Sha Zhu's spit on his shoes from a few days ago.
"Throwing a tantrum won't work. Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu, you two either apologize to Xu Damao or go to the police station together." Yan Bugui issued his final ultimatum.
Madam Jia Zhang grinned and pointed at Yan Bugui: "You are all in charge, and you protect each other and gang up to bully us orphans and widows. I will never let you go, even if it means my death. Tonight, I will send my husband Jia and Dongxu to your house!"
Hearing Jia Zhangshi's vicious words, Yan Bugui's face darkened considerably.
"Jia Zhangshi, you don't need to argue with me. I won't waste my breath on you. Let's call the police."
Hearing that the police would be called, Qin Huairu panicked and grabbed Yan Bugui, "Second Uncle, this isn't that serious, is it? If it's our fault, we'll apologize to Xu Damao. My mother-in-law only heard it from others, otherwise she wouldn't have thought that way."
Qin Huairu then looked at Xu Damao: "Damao, I apologize on behalf of your Aunt Jia. Don't take it to heart by arguing with an old lady like her. What will happen to our three children if we go to the police station?!"
"Da Mao, please give Sister Qin and your Aunt Jia a chance. This will never happen again, please?!"
Qin Jingru was completely stunned. How could a fight break out just because of one sentence he said?
However, Xu Damao is a real man. Sha Zhu looks quite strong, but he couldn't even withstand a single kick and is now lying on the ground, hunched over and convulsing.
This Aunt Jia is really despicable. Xu Damao is clearly a gentleman, but she insists on making up stories about him having a child with a widow. If this happened in the countryside, she would be beaten to death, or at least have her face slapped until it's swollen.
There are plenty of gossipy women in the countryside, but none dare to talk such nonsense.
And then there's her cousin, Qin Huairu, who, knowing full well that her mother-in-law was making things up, not only didn't stop her but also joined in deceiving her.
Now look what's happened! Xu Damao is being unreasonable and insists on an explanation, otherwise he'll take the matter to the police station.
"Sisters, how could you do this? Just because I said a few good things about Xu Damao, you're all talking about him like this. I think you just can't stand to see me doing well." Qin Jingru also lost her temper.
Qin Huairu was on the verge of tears: "I'm only doing this for your own good, Jingru. I'm your sister, I wouldn't do anything to harm you."
"Qin Huairu!" Xu Damao was about to slap Qin Huairu across the face. "You think I was just talking nonsense? Then let's call the police right now and see what we do about this!"
The commotion at Hongxing Courtyard was so loud that even the neighboring courtyard, separated only by a passageway, could hear it clearly.
Liu Haizhong was stopped by an old man from the next courtyard when he returned home from get off work.
"Old Liu, you're taking a stroll? Hurry back and check on things. Something big has happened in your compound. When I came out, I heard a lot of noise. They're probably fighting. Hurry back and take a look."
Liu Haizhong's hands, which were behind his back, were almost jostled by Grandpa Zhang from the next courtyard. He took off running home, waddling his fat body.
He ran a few meters away, then ran back, panting heavily.
"Old Zhang, did you hear that clearly? Who's fighting with whom?"
"It sounds like Xu Damao and that widow from your courtyard. Oh right, I also heard Shazhu and Yan Bugui's voices. Anyway, someone must have been beaten; they were screaming loudly."
Liu Haizhong didn't even have time to say thank you before turning around and continuing to run home.
As he ran, he cursed, "Xu Damao and Shazhu, you two good-for-nothings, do you really think I, Liu Haizhong, am just a decoration? I'll give you a good beating when I get back."
Liu Haizhong jogged all the way in and headed straight for the Intermediate People's Court.
Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai's affair has ruined the reputation of the compound. Liu Haizhong went to the street office a couple of days ago and was scolded like a grandson by Director Wang.
Director Wang is so old, Liu Haizhong is so old, he's so angry he's got several big blisters in his mouth but he doesn't dare tell anyone.
He'd only been quiet for a few days when these people in the compound started causing him trouble again. It was time for a major overhaul.
"Get out of the way, Yan Bugui, tell me what's going on?!" Liu Haizhong pushed through the crowd and grabbed Yan Bugui, almost causing him to fall over.
Yan Bugui knew something was wrong as soon as he saw Liu Haizhong's flushed face. Old Liu was really angry and was even calling him by his full name.
"That's how it is..."
Yan Bugui told what he knew, and it was not much different from the truth.
Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong realized that Xu Damao wasn't to blame, and immediately pointed at Shazhu, who was squatting on the ground: "What's wrong with him?"
Yan Bugui began to explain again.
However, before Yan Bugui could finish speaking, Liu Haizhong was so angry that he kicked Shazhu two meters away.
Even after being sent flying, Sha Zhu couldn't believe that Liu Haizhong dared to attack him, and without any warning at all.
"Why are you everywhere? You're just a troublemaker, always trying to hit people without even knowing what's going on. Who gave you the guts? Do you think everyone in this compound is afraid of you?"
Still not satisfied with what he was saying, Liu Haizhong ran over and started hitting him again.
Sha Zhu was stunned. Why was he being attacked right from the start?
Liu Haizhong grabbed Sha Zhu and slammed him to the ground with a thud.
Sha Zhu was so badly hit that he saw stars. Liu Haizhong was too aggressive and had a lot of strength in his hands. Sha Zhu's crotch hadn't even recovered yet, and after being hit twice like that, he went limp.
Everyone was stunned; no one had ever seen Liu Haizhong initiate a fight before!
However, they were still less surprised.
After kicking Sha Zhu again, Liu Haizhong went straight for Jia Zhangshi, gathering his strength from a distance before slapping her hard across the face.
Jia Zhangshi, this sitting ram, was whipped by Liu Haizhong so hard that she spun around twice and crashed into the door frame before finally stopping.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Haizhong's gaze fell on Qin Huairu.
