Provoked by Sha Zhu's words, Xu Damao became even more energetic, threw away his cigarette, and put one hand on his hip.
"Hey, you idiot Zhu, you dare threaten me? Try touching me, there are so many people watching today. If you make a move, I'm telling you, this matter will be difficult to resolve."
As he spoke, Xu Damao deliberately leaned forward, looking as if to say, "Try hitting me."
Xu Damao would never dare to be so headstrong in a one-on-one fight, but things are different now. Liu Haizhong, Wang Dabao, Yan Bugui, and Liu Guangtian are all here. He can't guarantee anything about others, but these guys will definitely break up the fight. Xu Damao would never suffer a loss.
Xu Damao was actually hoping that Sha Zhu would make a move; if Sha Zhu did, Liu Haizhong would definitely not let him off the hook.
Sha Zhu was so angry that he was trembling all over, his fists clenched so tightly that they cracked. Just as he was about to lose control and make a move, Yi Zhonghai stepped forward.
"Everyone, calm down. Da Mao's wedding is a joyous occasion, so let's not make things unpleasant. Zhu Zi, calm down too, don't let a few words of bickering ruin the harmony."
Yi Zhonghai felt he was in charge again and jumped in to smooth things over.
Xu Damao pursed his lips and muttered under his breath, "Well, you're alive again."
Yi Zhonghai blushed and said, "Da Mao, we're about to have a happy occasion. We can't let our tempers ruin things. Calm down. There are important things to do right now. Don't argue over such a small matter."
Sha Zhu took a deep breath, calmed down, and glanced at Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, who both had cold faces. He knew he couldn't gain any advantage over Xu Damao here.
"Alright, I'll give everyone face today and not hold it against you. But Xu Damao, don't get too cocky. People who are too arrogant will eventually suffer."
Xu Damao was definitely the type to never back down when he was in the right. "Hey, Shazhu, you started this mess and then you're trying to smooth things over. It's no different from taking a dump and then eating it yourself."
"Alright, Xu Damao, stop causing trouble. Don't end up getting married with a bruise on your face."
Liu Haizhong, being an elderly man, felt it was time to speak up: "I don't care how much you quarrel, but if anyone lays a hand on me in this yard, I will not let them off easily, not even one of them!"
"I don't care what his reasons are for attacking. Even if he's in the right, he's wrong if he attacks first. I'll be the first to deal with him."
Liu Haizhong's words were clearly directed at Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.
He had shown his power a few days ago but Wang Dabao hadn't seen it, and he felt it was a pity when he lay in bed at night. Now he finally had the chance to show off his power again.
Sha Zhu snorted coldly and turned his face away, no longer looking at Xu Damao.
Seeing that Sha Zhu remained silent, Xu Damao thought he was scared and was about to make a few more sarcastic remarks when Yan Bugui tugged at his sleeve. "Damao, stop fooling around. Getting the wedding done first is the most important thing."
Yan Bugui whispered his advice.
Xu Damao pursed his lips and said nothing more.
At this moment, Wang Dabao spoke up with a smile: "Alright, alright, everyone stop arguing. It's Da Mao's wedding, everyone should do their part to make this happy occasion a grand one. That way, we can show the other courtyards that although we have some minor conflicts, we are absolutely united when it comes to important matters."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Section Chief Wang's words made sense.
"Da Bao's words are based on the big picture, and they are absolutely enlightening for me," Liu Haizhong flattered from the side.
Although Sha Zhu was still unhappy, he couldn't show it again.
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a bit, Yi Zhonghai quickly said, "How about we discuss Da Mao's wedding? Weddings are no small matter; there are many miscellaneous things involved that need to be taken into account. Otherwise, the bride's family won't be satisfied and will not only criticize Da Mao's family but also our compound. So, we must make sure everything is prepared perfectly."
"Also, Da Mao, you should share your thoughts. Feel free to speak up if you have any ideas, and we'll all help if we can."
Yi Zhonghai's words not only stunned Xu Damao, but also Wang Dabao, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, Shazhu and others who were standing next to him found it unbelievable.
You should know that it was Xu Damao who exposed Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu's affair in the vegetable cellar. If we're talking about who hates Xu Damao the most, Sha Zhu would have to rank after Yi Zhonghai.
But now Yi Zhonghai can actually say these words with a smile; anyone who doesn't know better would think he's incredibly kind and righteous.
Wang Dabao immediately realized that Yi Zhonghai must have a plan in mind.
This is a scheme to mislead everyone and wait for time to deliver a fatal blow to Xu Damao.
Sha Zhu really looked down on Yi Zhonghai. After all, Yi Zhonghai had made such a mess of things, almost turning him into a rat that everyone wanted to beat.
Now that the other person is getting married, you jump out to help them. Don't you have any backbone? You used to be the boss, but have you mastered this art of flattery?
Sha Zhu snorted and glanced at Yi Zhonghai: "Xu Damao isn't your son. You're more concerned about his wedding than Xu Fugui."
“Hey, Zhu Zi, that’s not right. Da Mao’s parents don’t live in this courtyard either. As neighbors, we should help them out.”
Yi Zhonghai offered cigarettes to everyone again, saying, "It's inevitable that we'll have some friction living in the same compound, but if something happens, we should still lend a hand. That's the camaraderie of the compound."
"Old Yi is still aware of his responsibilities, and I must commend him for that."
Liu Haizhong took the cigarette and nodded. "Shazhu, you should learn from Lao Yi. Don't be so petty. You won't go far in life if you're like that. You need to be more magnanimous and have a kind eye on people and things. Don't be narrow-minded and think of others as well."
Liu Haizhong's words made Sha Zhu look like nothing at all, and Sha Zhu was angry but couldn't vent his anger.
I wanted to say something to Liu Haizhong, but judging from the situation, if he spoke, the other side would take turns bombarding him.
"Alright, you guys are so generous and not narrow-minded. You guys keep chatting, I'm going home to cook."
Sha Zhu snorted coldly, put his hands in his pockets, and walked away.
After Sha Zhu walked away, Xu Damao pointed at Sha Zhu's back and said, "Look at him, everyone. He's a prime example of someone who never learns from mistakes. He's always causing trouble in the yard. What kind of person is he!"
"Alright, you're no better than me."
Liu Haizhong interrupted Xu Damao, "Old Yi just said that you're getting married soon, so you should be more careful and stop arguing with Sha Zhu. If you really fight, you'll end up with bruises at the wedding, and the whole compound will lose face because of you."
Yan Bugui and the others nodded in agreement. They thought that if Xu Damao went to get married with bruises all over his face, everyone would laugh at the Red Star Courtyard.
It wasn't just the Xu family who lost face; the entire compound was ashamed.
