Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Sha Zhu was slightly startled, and a trace of doubt surged in his heart, wondering who would knock on the door at this time. He glanced at Zhang Dahong and Qin Huairu, then got up to open the door.

When the door opened, Sha Zhu found that it was Yi Zhonghai standing outside. He felt a little strange and didn't understand why Yi Zhonghai came to see him at this time. "Uncle Yi, why are you here?" Sha Zhu asked.

Yi Zhonghai's face was gloomy, with a hint of anger in his eyes. He glanced at Sha Zhu, then at Zhang Dahong and Qin Huairu in the room. "Sha Zhu, what are you doing?" Yi Zhonghai asked in a questioning tone.

Sha Zhu was a little bit at a loss, he didn't know why Yi Zhonghai was so angry. "Uncle Yi, I... I'm on a blind date." Sha Zhu stammered.

Yi Zhonghai snorted, "Blind date? Do you know what you are doing? How can you go on a blind date casually? Have you ever considered my feelings?" Yi Zhonghai's words were full of dissatisfaction.

Sha Zhu was even more confused. He didn't understand why Yi Zhonghai said that. "Uncle Yi, what's wrong with me going on a blind date? I'm not a child anymore. It's time for me to find a wife." Sha Zhu retorted.

Yi Zhonghai glared at Sha Zhu and said, "I don't object to you finding a wife, but you can't just go on a blind date with anyone. Do you know who this woman is? Is she trustworthy? Do you believe Qin Huairu's words so easily?"

Yi Zhonghai's series of questions left Sha Zhu speechless.

When Qin Huairu saw Yi Zhonghai coming to disrupt the situation, she suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart.

She couldn't let Yi Zhonghai ruin her plan, so she hurried forward to argue with Yi Zhonghai.

"Uncle Yi, what are you doing? How does Sha Zhu's blind date bother you?" Qin Huairu frowned, her tone full of dissatisfaction.

Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly, "Qin Huairu, don't pretend to be a good person here.

Do you think I don't know what you are up to? You just want to use Sha Zhu to get benefits from him."

Qin Huairu got even angrier when she heard this. "Uncle Yi, please don't slander me.

I am doing this for Shazhu's own good. Shazhu is so old now, it's time for him to get married. But you just want Shazhu to take care of you in your old age, so you don't want him to get married."

Qin Huairu ruthlessly exposed Yi Zhonghai's thoughts.

Yi Zhonghai's face became even uglier when Qin Huairu hit the nail on the head. "Qin Huairu, don't talk nonsense. I'm thinking about Sha Zhu. This woman has an unknown background. Who knows if she is reliable? What if Sha Zhu is deceived by her?"

Yi Zhonghai said this with a specious argument.

Qin Huairu didn't buy it, "Uncle Yi, this is just an excuse.

You just don't want Sha Zhu to have his own life, you just want him to revolve around you. You are too selfish." Qin Huairu became more and more excited and her voice became louder and louder.

Yi Zhonghai was speechless after hearing what Qin Huairu said. He knew he was in the wrong, but he didn't want to give up easily.

"Qin Huairu, don't think I don't know what you are planning.

Don't you just want Sha Zhu to help you do something? What do you think of Sha Zhu as? Your tool?" Yi Zhonghai retorted.

Qin Huairu was so angry that her face turned red. "Uncle Yi, please stop talking nonsense. I really want to do good for Sha Zhu.

If you really care about Shazhu, you should support him in his blind date instead of messing with him."

The two of them argued back and forth, and it was getting very intense. Sha Zhu and Zhang Dahong stood aside, not knowing what to do.

When Xu Damao heard the quarrel, curiosity drove him to hurry over.

When he saw that the person going on a blind date with Sha Zhu was Zhang Dahong, his smart mind quickly turned and he immediately understood Qin Huairu's intention.

Xu Damao raised a wicked smile and joined the quarrel without hesitation.

He glanced at Yi Zhonghai and said in a sarcastic tone, "Hey, Uncle Yi, what are you doing? I'm looking for a blind date, why are you interfering here?"

Yi Zhonghai was already very angry with Qin Huairu, and now Xu Damao got involved, his face became even gloomier.

"Xu Damao, don't make trouble here. This has nothing to do with you." Yi Zhonghai said angrily.

Xu Damao was not willing to give in. "Why does it have nothing to do with me? I am just shouting out when I see injustice.

You can't stop Sha Zhu from getting married just because of your own selfishness." Xu Damao deliberately spoke loudly so that everyone around him could hear.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he was shaking all over. "Xu Damao, don't talk nonsense. I am doing this for Sha Zhu's own good. There must be something wrong with this woman. Sha Zhu can't be fooled by her."

Xu Damao burst into laughter, "Uncle Yi, you are just trying to find a pretext to accuse someone.

  Why is there something wrong with that girl?

You just don’t want Shazhu to have his own life so that he can always be your tool for old age support.”

Yi Zhonghai was so angry and embarrassed by what Xu Damao said, "Xu Damao, stop talking nonsense here. Do you think I don't know what you are up to? Don't you just want to see Sha Zhu make a fool of himself?"

Xu Damao shrugged. "Uncle Yi, please don't wrongly accuse me. I'm just standing up for Sha Zhu. You can't be so selfish and only think about yourself."

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect that he would end up in such an embarrassing situation. Not only did Xu Damao oppose him, but even Sha Zhu didn't stand on his side. He stood there, his face livid, his heart full of regret and anger.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai suddenly realized that he had made a serious mistake. Wouldn't it be enough for him to just expose Zhang Dahong's true face? Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai immediately pointed at Zhang Dahong and said loudly: "Shazhu, don't be fooled by this woman. She is not a formal employee at all. She is an unemployed vagrant. And she has unclear relationships with many men."

When Zhang Dahong heard this, her face turned pale instantly. She pretended to be very aggrieved and tears quickly welled up in her eyes.

She turned to Sha Zhu and complained in a trembling voice: "Sha Zhu, don't listen to his nonsense. How could I be that kind of person? He is slandering me."

When Sha Zhu looked at Zhang Dahong's aggrieved expression, he suddenly felt a surge of pity and anger in his heart.

He glared at Yi Zhonghai and shouted, "Uncle Yi, what are you doing? You can't slander a girl just because you don't want me to go on a blind date. She's a good girl, how come she becomes that kind of person in your mouth?"

Yi Zhonghai became even more anxious when he saw that Sha Zhu didn't believe him. "Sha Zhu, everything I said is true. You can't be fooled by this woman. She is a liar."

Yi Zhonghai said anxiously.

Sha Zhu just couldn't listen, "Uncle Yi, please stop talking. I believe Da Hong is not that kind of person. If you do this again, don't bother with my business anymore."

Sha Zhu's attitude was firm. He had been completely deceived by Zhang Dahong's appearance.

Yi Zhonghai secretly cursed Sha Zhu in his heart as a fool.

He was furious when he saw Sha Zhu, who was completely bewitched by Zhang Dahong.

  How could this idiot be so easily deceived?

Can't he see that there is something wrong with Zhang Dahong?

But he soon smiled bitterly. If Sha Zhu was not a fool, how could Yi Zhonghai control Sha Zhu?

Sha Zhu's honesty and simplicity have always been what Yi Zhonghai wanted to take advantage of.

He had originally planned to make Sha Zhu his support in his old age, but now his plan was disrupted by Zhang Dahong.

"Shazhu, wait a minute, you will understand." Yi Zhonghai said, turned around and left. Shazhu looked at Yi Zhonghai's departing back, feeling a little uneasy.

He turned his head and looked at Zhang Dahong's aggrieved expression, his heart filled with pity.

He gently held Zhang Dahong's hand and said softly, "Dahong, don't be sad. Uncle Yi was just talking nonsense. I believe you are not that kind of person. I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."

Zhang Dahong listened to Sha Zhu's consolation and felt proud in her heart. She knew that she had successfully made Sha Zhu stand on her side.

Yi Zhonghai anxiously asked around on the streets and finally found Zhang Dahong's lover Liu Tiedan.

Liu Tiedan was leaning against the wall in a nonchalant manner, a cigarette in his mouth, looking like a cynical gangster.

Yi Zhonghai walked up quickly and said straight to the point: "You are Liu Tiedan, right? I have something to tell you."

Liu Tiedan glanced at Yi Zhonghai and said nonchalantly, "Who are you? Tell me what you want to say."

Yi Zhonghai frowned, feeling even more disgusted with the gangster, but in order to expose Zhang Dahong, he still said patiently: "I know the relationship between you and Zhang Dahong. Now Zhang Dahong is deceiving Sha Zhu in our yard, and I want you to come forward and expose her."

When Liu Tiedan heard this, his eyes widened. "What? You want me to expose her? Why should I listen to you?"

Yi Zhonghai said hurriedly: "If you help me with this, I can give you some benefits."

Liu Tiedan burst into laughter. "Who do you think I am? I, Liu Tiedan, am not the kind of person who can be easily bribed.

Besides, what happens between me and Dahong is none of your business. I won’t expose her.”

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned red. "How can you be so unreasonable, you bastard? Zhang Dahong is cheating people, and you don't care?"

Liu Tiedan threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out with his foot. "I don't care. What does it have to do with me who she cheats on? Don't bother me." After saying that, Liu Tiedan turned around and was about to leave.

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly stopped him, "You can't leave. If you don't help, Sha Zhu will be cheated badly by Zhang Dahong."

Liu Tiedan pushed Yi Zhonghai away impatiently and said, "Get out of here. I don't care about that idiot Zhu. It's his own business who cheated him. I, Liu Tiedan, only care about my own business." After that, Liu Tiedan left with a swagger.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Tiedan's back as he was about to walk away, and became anxious, so he rushed forward.

He stood in front of Liu Tiedan, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't leave yet. As long as you are willing to expose Zhang Dahong, I can give you some money."

Liu Tiedan's face, which was originally full of impatience, suddenly showed a hint of interest. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked Yi Zhonghai up and down. "Oh? A sum of money? How much can you give?" Liu Tiedan's tone was filled with greed.

Although Yi Zhonghai was extremely disgusted with people like Liu Tiedan who were greedy for money, he could only endure it in order to prevent Sha Zhu from being deceived by Zhang Dahong. "As long as you can let Sha Zhu see Zhang Dahong's true face, I will give you 20 yuan." Yi Zhonghai said.

When Liu Tiedan heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile. "Twenty yuan? That's a bit too little. If Zhang Dahong could trick Sha Zhu into his hands, he might be able to get more benefits. It's not worth it for me to take this risk."

Liu Tiedan deliberately raised the price.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned blue, but he could do nothing about it. "Then how much do you want?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

Liu Tiedan held up three fingers and said, "Thirty yuan, not a cent less."

Yi Zhonghai felt a pang of pain in his heart, but for the sake of his own plan, he had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, thirty dollars is thirty dollars. But you have to do it well."

Yi Zhonghai said fiercely.

Liu Tiedan smiled with satisfaction, "Don't worry, as long as the money is in place, everything will be easy."

After Yi Zhonghai gave the money to Liu Tiedan, Liu Tiedan put the money into his pocket with a proud look on his face and followed Yi Zhonghai to the courtyard.

At this time, Xu Damao was strolling in the yard. He glanced inadvertently and immediately found Liu Tiedan.

Xu Damao was shocked. He instantly understood that Liu Tiedan’s appearance would definitely ruin Qin Huairu’s plan.

Xu Damao frowned and rushed forward without hesitation to stop Liu Tiedan.

"Who are you? What are you doing in our courtyard?"

Xu Damao put on the majestic look of the second uncle of the compound and asked in a stern voice.

Liu Tiedan glanced at Xu Damao and said nonchalantly, "Is it your business? I'm here to look for someone."

When Xu Damao heard this, he became even more certain that Liu Tiedan had no good intentions.

"Hmph, I'm the second uncle of this compound and have the authority to kick out a little gangster like you. You're not welcome here, get out now." Xu Damao said angrily.

Liu Tiedan was not afraid at all, "You say you want to send me away, so you can send me away? I was invited here." Liu Tiedan pointed at Yi Zhonghai.

Xu Damao looked at Yi Zhonghai with a questioning look in his eyes.

Yi Zhonghai's face was gloomy. "Xu Damao, don't worry about it. This Liu Tiedan can expose Zhang Dahong's true face."

Xu Damao's heart tightened. He couldn't let Yi Zhonghai succeed.

"No, Yi Zhonghai, you can't just bring a gangster in. It will affect the peace of our compound." Xu Damao firmly objected.

Seeing Xu Damao trying to stop him, Yi Zhonghai became extremely anxious. He immediately threatened Liu Tiedan: "If you can't expose Zhang Dahong's true identity, take the money back!"

When Liu Tiedan heard this, he immediately panicked. He didn't want to return the thirty yuan.

Liu Tiedan's expression became even more ferocious. He stared at Xu Damao intently, with only one thought in his mind: he must not let Xu Damao ruin his fortune. He gritted his teeth and waved his fist at Xu Damao again.

Xu Damao is no pushover either. When he saw Liu Tiedan being so arrogant, his anger was instantly ignited.

"You little gangster, how dare you act wild here!" Xu Damao roared and met Liu Tiedan's fist.

The two men immediately started fighting each other, punching and kicking each other, and the scene was very chaotic.

Liu Tiedan relied on his experience in street fights and attacked quickly and fiercely, his fists constantly landing on Xu Damao. Although Xu Damao was not as fierce as Liu Tiedan, he was not to be outdone. He dodged Liu Tiedan's attacks while looking for opportunities to fight back.

The neighbors around heard the noise and gathered around.

Everyone was surprised to see Xu Damao and Liu Tiedan fighting.

Some people tried to intervene, but seeing how fiercely the fight was going on, they did not dare to approach easily. (End of this chapter)
