Before Wang Dabao could continue speaking, Jia Dongxu started yelling at him.
"Wang Dabao, don't think I'm afraid of you."
Jia Dongxu's face was tense. "Don't look down on me just because I have a limp. I'm not afraid of you. If you're so tough, let's have a fight. I don't believe you can cripple my leg."
Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao and Jia Dongxu have lived in the compound for so many years, when have they ever seen him so tough!
Moreover, the opponent he was clamoring against was Wang Dabao. Although Wang Dabao had only been living in the compound for a little over a week, his fighting prowess was undeniable. Liu Haizhong had even personally tested him with his face.
Normally, Liu Haizhong would have already said a few words.
But today is different. Now that he knows Wang Dabao's position as section chief, he has to consider how to say these words.
"Dongxu, what's wrong with you? Did Brother Dabao say he wanted to fight you?"
Liu Haizhong stood up with a stern face, put his hands behind his back, and was about to go over and lecture Jia Dongxu. However, after noticing Wang Dabao's gaze, his face twitched, and he took his hands down again. "Dongxu, it's not that your second uncle is criticizing you, but you young people shouldn't start fighting over a few words. It's not good for unity."
"Hey Liu Haizhong, you were the one who got into the fight just now, and now you're putting on airs. It's really hilarious."
Xu Damao's eyes glared and squinted, filled with contempt.
"And you, Xu Damao, stop stirring up trouble for no reason."
After criticizing Jia Dongxu, Liu Haizhong turned his criticism on Xu Damao and launched a barrage of attacks. Then, he changed the subject, saying, "Among the younger generation in this compound, I think Brother Dabao is the most honest and reliable in his words and deeds."
After criticizing Jia Dongxu and Xu Damao, Liu Haizhong didn't forget to mention Wang Dabao as well.
"Old Liu, you can't say that."
Wang Dabao took out cigarettes and offered them to Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao. Finally, he walked up to Jia Dongxu and handed him one amidst the latter's incredulous gaze. "I think Damao and Dongxu are both great, especially Dongxu."
"Although Dongxu's words were directed at me, I can't blame him at all. On the contrary, I have to praise Dongxu for being a real man."
Jia Dongxu forced himself to remain calm as he took the cigarette. Just as he was about to light it, his hand trembled upon hearing Wang Dabao's last words.
"I didn't have a good impression of Dongxu before, but my opinion has completely changed today."
Wang Dabao took out a match, lit it for the dumbfounded Jia Dongxu first, then lit his own, exhaled a puff of smoke, and looked at Xu Damao, "Damao, tell me, was Dongxu manly enough just now?"
"Hmm, not bad, unlike before when you couldn't even fart after three kicks."
Xu Damao, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, didn't even glance at Jia Dongxu, and grumbled.
Hearing Wang Dabao and Xu Damao's conversation, Jia Dongxu straightened his back, realizing that he was indeed a little different than before, but he didn't expect Wang Dabao to notice.
In an instant, Jia Dongxu took a deep breath, his serious expression becoming even more pronounced.
However, his shifty eyes betrayed him; he was clearly a little guilty.
"Da Mao, we've always had a good relationship, and now I think Dong Xu is also a friend worth confiding in."
Wang Dabao's eyes were earnest and his words sincere. He reached out and patted Jia Dongxu's shoulder heavily. "Dongxu, you're too close to the situation to see clearly. But now we're friends, and there are some things you should know!"
Jia Dongxu had been putting on a good act, but suddenly his defenses crumbled. He stopped smoking and looked up at Wang Dabao with a puzzled expression: "Um, Wang Dabao...brother, what's up?"
Wang Dabao sighed deeply, his gaze fixed at the darkening sky at a 45-degree angle. He seemed to have something on the tip of his tongue but couldn't bring himself to say it. Finally, as if he had made a decision, he placed his hand on Jia Dongxu's shoulder: "Dongxu, let me give you an example, really just an example."
"If you find that your friend's wife is having an affair, and is flirting with him in front of him, or even sending ambiguous signals through her eyes or body language, but your friend doesn't notice."
"What would you do in this situation? Would you choose to keep it a secret, or tell your friend directly?"
Liu Haizhong was completely confused. After pondering for a moment, he finally understood what Wang Dabao was talking about.
Xu Damao's face was a fascinating mix of expressions; his cheeks twitched as he tried to laugh but held it in.
Jia Dongxu replied without hesitation: "Of course I'll tell my friends. Is there even a question?"
Wang Dabao subtly moved behind Jia Dongxu, raising his eyebrows repeatedly at Xu Damao, "Damao, why don't you say it?"
Xu Damao glared at Wang Dabao, but then looked at Jia Dongxu: "Why don't you understand? Everyone in this compound knows that Sha Zhu has his eye on your wife. If you don't teach Sha Zhu a lesson, he might succeed one day."
"You'll be wearing a green hat then."
"No...it's not that serious, is it? They're just siblings, aren't they?" Jia Dongxu was a little dumbfounded.
Xu Damao's eyes narrowed: "Brother and sister, my foot! If you put it that way, I'd be willing to be Qin Huairu's younger brother too. Maybe one day I'll be able to snuggle this older sister in bed with her."
"Da Mao, don't talk nonsense."
Wang Dabao chimed in from the side, "But Da Mao has a point. Sha Zhu is no good. He's even eyeing other people's wives. He's always looking at Dong Xu's wife with a shifty look."
"Do you remember the last time Aunt Jia chased and beat Sha Zhu? Old Liu was there too. If he had discovered Sha Zhu's wicked intentions later, Dongxu's wife might have been dragged into the house."
"I heard about this from my mom. At the time, I thought it was a misunderstanding. I never expected Sha Zhu to be such a scoundrel."
Jia Dongxu's face turned pale as he looked at Liu Haizhong. "Second Uncle, Xu Damao just said that everyone in the compound knows. Is that true?"
