A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 18 Dispute

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall and thin figure standing there with an unconvinced look on his face.

"Shamao, what do you mean, do you want to disobey the organization's orders?"

Seeing that the person who refuted was his sworn enemy, He Yuzhu immediately changed from a melon-eater to a revolutionary fighter.

"What's the matter with you, Silly Zhu, please stay with me. I have to discuss this matter with everyone today."

"That's right, Silly Zhu, don't blame our Damao."

Lou Xiao'e, who was standing next to Xu Damao, looked angry and protected her man.

Xu Damao doesn't spend much time in the hospital. As a projectionist, he often goes to the countryside and spends most of the month running around. As the daughter of the richest man, Lou Bancheng, his daughter-in-law Lou Xiao'e has been pampered since she was a child. He didn't even know how to cook, so whenever he wasn't at home, he would go to his parents' house. The Lou family's villa was more comfortable than living in the compound.

It stands to reason that the two of them don't spend much time in the courtyard, so they shouldn't like to get involved in these things and just follow the crowd of their neighbors, but Xu Damao just intervened today.

"Come on guys, our money didn't come from the strong wind. I don't have any objections to helping the other families, but why are the Jia family and the Yan family so embarrassed to accept everyone's donations? The uncles, I suspect that you are using the public for personal gain."

Xu Damao's words were sonorous, powerful and upright, which surprised Li Xiang who was eating melon beside him. Is this guy so noble? Isn't it true that he always puts things on his own terms?

"Xu Damao, you are talking nonsense."

The second uncle was the first to jump up. He boasted that he was always fair and just in dealing with things, and never took any advantage of the people. He did not wear the label of seeking public benefits for personal gain.

"Da Mao, aren't we still discussing this? If you have any opinions, you can raise them, but you don't want to blame me. The things I have done for the courtyard over the years are obvious to all. There is no credit but hard work."

The third uncle acted like a good old man and defended himself. He also knew that since the salary increase was exposed, it would not be so easy to take advantage of the people in the yard.

Not to mention what will happen in the future, now I am seeing that the benefits that I am about to get are ruined by Xu Damao. Although I don’t show it on my face, my heartache is about to bleed. I am cursing this indifferent brat in my heart.

Even so, he still took a chance and decided to take a step back.

"Well, let's do this. Since some people have objections to our Yan family's acceptance of donations, then our family will not accept the donations."

"More than just donating money, your family shouldn't be on the list at all. It's really shameless." Someone in the crowd shouted again, which made Yan Bugui's smile fall.

There was a buzz of discussion among the crowd, seeing that the Yan family's move had offended the public.

There was no other way, so Yan Bugui had to make a list in the book in front of everyone, cross out the Yan family, and everyone stopped.

"And what about the Jia family? What do you mean? Master, you can't just favor the Jia family so openly just because Jia Dongxu is your apprentice." Xu Damao continued to ask while the iron was hot.

"Da Mao, our family is indeed in trouble. The first uncle has always cared for the weak. You can't misunderstand him like this. For the sake of growing up with Dongxu, please give our orphans and widows a way to survive." Qin Huairu said. Weeping, using the name of her deceased husband, hoping that Xu Damao would show his noble hand.

Mrs. Jia Zhang also began to cry sadly, wuwuwu~~~
"Si Mao, you are still not a human being. Brother Dongxu has just left, and you are here to bully orphans and widows. You are ruining the reputation of the great master. I think you are just looking for a beating." As he said this, the man raised his fist. , rushed over.

Qin Huairu's words reminded He Yuzhu of his past, and he suddenly felt the same.

I remember that when he dragged his sister through the hardships, the people around him were indifferent to each other. If it weren't for the help of the uncle and the old lady, he and Yu Yu would have become sick even if they didn't starve to death. No one had it in those days. The rich food that helps you stutter is all truly saved in your own bowl.

So he missed the old man's love and remembered the old lady's kindness.

"Silly Zhu, you stupid idiot, what do you know? The Jia family is obviously not short of money, and they were added to the list by the uncle. What are they thinking? They treat the big guy as a fool." Xu Damao ran quickly. He opened the door and dodged the punches and kicks thrown by He Yuzhu, but he did not forget to fan the flames and want to arouse everyone's emotions.

"Li Xiang, hurry up and hold your Zhuzhu brother, don't let him do stupid things."

Li Xiang, who was watching the show, was suddenly attracted by his elder brother. He had seen young men from the Li family fight before, and this was a master of one against many.

Li wanted to avoid the obstruction of his schoolbag before he left. He unloaded his schoolbag and handed it to Li Xiaodi.

Little Brother Li had long been attracted by the fragrance coming from his schoolbag. He was no longer interested in the excitement he liked to watch. Taking advantage of his elder brother's absence, he secretly opened his schoolbag. Curious about what food was inside, he slightly opened the outer packaging. The smell of meat came out, making him swallow his saliva involuntarily.

"Snapped!"

A slap hit his hand, and when he looked up, his sister was glaring at him angrily.

Li Xiaodi immediately gave in, took his hand out of his schoolbag, and looked at his sister with a pair of dog eyes.

"Hmph, I'll settle the score with you when I get home." The eldest sister's harsh words now have a hint of Mother Li's.

The small actions of the two people were not noticed by the people around them. Everyone was busy watching the fun.

But not far away from the two of them, Banggan, who was held in Jia Zhang's arms, seemed to smell the smell of meat, and said coquettishly to her grandma: "Grandma, I want to eat meat."

"Okay, okay, I will buy meat for my eldest grandson tomorrow." When Jia Zhang heard her grandson's appeal, she just treated it like a child.

Her thoughts were focused on the fight between He Yuzhu and Xu Damao, and she secretly encouraged Shazhu.

"Good fight, follow Xu Damao's taciturn tongue." Jia Zhang said in her heart, wishing she could play in person.

"Stop fighting, Brother Zhuzi, you are going to be beaten to death by him." Li Xiang stepped forward and used a move to capture him, easily separating the two people who were fighting together.

After putting some distance away, he came to Xu Damao and persuaded the couple in a low voice: "Brother Damao, sister-in-law Xiao'e, forget it, you two will still suffer if the fight continues." He gestured to him with his eyes of injury.

Xu Damao's face was stained, and there were several big footprints on his clothes. He spat out bloody saliva and still shouted: "Silly Zhu, just wait, I won't let you go, and I won't have a good life without you in the future."

"Just wait, let's see what you, a weakling, can do to me." He Yuzhu, whose clothes were torn, did not give in to his words.

Lou Xiao'e listened to the advice and pulled Xu Damao back, not letting him come forward again. Her man was no match for Shazhu. There was no harm at all from the show of fists and legs, and Shazhu only had a few tears in his clothes. This was still When she stepped forward to pull it, it was broken.

Silly Zhu pretended to give chase, but was grabbed by Li Xiang. With Li Xiang's strength, no one would be able to escape if he didn't want to let them go.

Silly Zhu struggled several times but failed to shake off Li Xiang's hand that was clamping on his arm, so he had no choice but to give up.

With such a commotion, the meeting was abandoned, and the three uncles had no choice but to send everyone away first.

Xu Damao, who was pulled to the door of the backyard, suddenly stopped and looked at the Jia family and Yan family in the crowd, his eyes flickering.

"Damn it, if you dare to spread gossip about me, I have no business, just wait for me."
