Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

A minute passed and no one in the yard came out.

Two minutes passed and no one in the yard came out.

While waiting, Yi Zhonghai glanced at Xu Damao several times, but it turned out that Xu Damao acted as if he hadn't heard what he had just said. He sat on the chair and chatted with Lou Xiaoe, not in a hurry at all.

"Could it be that Zhuzi made a wrong judgment, and the person who was saying bad things about Zhuzi outside the yard wasn't Xu Damao?" Yi Zhonghai thought secretly in his heart.

But the idea was quickly rejected.

In order to prevent his carefully prepared general meeting from being disrupted by Wang Dong again, he specifically asked several neighbors in the front yard this afternoon.

Was Wang Dong in the courtyard in the morning? Did he leave the four courtyards?

The results obtained were very consistent.

Wang Dong took Huang Longfei and Tang Dashan out to prepare a banquet early in the morning and did not come back until three or four in the afternoon.

In order to completely eliminate Wang Dong's suspicion of involvement in this matter.

He went to the place where Wang Dong was preparing the banquet and confirmed that Wang Dong had not left the place at noon.

The only two young men in the yard who had a grudge against He Yuzhu were Xu Damao and Wang Dong.

Wang Dong was not involved in this matter, so the one behind the scenes was most likely Xu Damao.

The reason why he had such a calm expression while chatting with Lou Xiao'e, completely keeping himself out of the matter, as if this whole-institute meeting had nothing to do with him, was that he must have been afraid that his guilty conscience would be discovered, so he pretended to be so.

In addition, Xu Damao and Zhuzi are sworn enemies. Under normal circumstances, if Xu Damao saw He Yuzhu suffering a loss, he would definitely stand up and make a few sarcastic remarks.

But he didn't stand up today, he must have something to hide.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai was certain in his heart that Xu Damao was the culprit of the whole incident.

Just as he was about to ask Xu Damao a few questions, Xu Damao actually stood up and looked at He Yuzhu with a mocking face and said, "Silly Zhu..."

"You're such a fool, and you're still going on a blind date..."

"Unless the girl is blind and deaf, she will definitely not like you...

"The uncle just said that someone slandered Sha Zhu, saying that Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu were having an affair, and spread rumors about Sha Zhu, scaring away Sha Zhu's blind date."

"Others may not know the relationship between Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, but I know it very clearly..."

"I saw Qin Huairu go into Sha Zhu's house in the middle of the night several times and stay there for half an hour."

"In the middle of the night, a young and strong man and a widow stayed in the same room for more than half an hour. If you say there is nothing going on, even a fool would not believe it..."

"I think the fact that Shazhu and Qin Huairu are having an affair is a fact, not a rumor."

"If there is no unclear relationship between the two of them, why would Sha Zhu rather starve himself than lend his salary to Qin Huairu..."

"wrong……"

"Saying I'm borrowing is too much of a compliment to you...

"The silly pillar was given directly to Qin Huairu, and he was not allowed to return it."

"If I remember correctly, in the past few years, Sha Zhu has given Qin Huairu at least 700 or 800 yuan, but definitely 500 or 600 yuan."

“Would a normal neighbor be so generous?”

"Xu Damao, what nonsense are you talking about... Banggeng is my godson. As his godfather, I don't want to see Banggeng suffer. What's wrong with giving him money?" He Yuzhu pointed at Xu Damao and cursed as if someone had caught him in a sore spot.

Ever since He Yuzhu was beaten up by Wang Dong twice and was sent to labor camp for a month by the street, Xu Damao no longer took He Yuzhu seriously.

In his opinion, He Yuzhu was a fool. Except for his fists and feet being slightly better than his, he was no better than him in every other aspect.

But now is a new society, no matter how powerful your fists and feet are, they can't beat the guns in the hands of the police. Facing He Yuzhu's angry eyes, he asked back: "Silly Zhu..."

"You are indeed a great godfather. It's okay for you to starve yourself so that your godson can eat better."

"But if I remember correctly, you seem to have just adopted Bang Geng as your godson not long ago."

"Before you and Bang Geng became godparents, you lent Qin Huairu several hundred yuan, which is equivalent to your two years' salary."

"You sent him out without blinking an eye. If you say there is no relationship between you and Qin Huairu, do you think anyone in the yard will believe you?"

When it comes to talking, neither of the two He Yuzhus is a match for Xu Damao. They were immediately left speechless. They wanted to refute but couldn't find a reason, and their faces turned red from holding back.

"Xu Damao..." Yi Zhonghai is worthy of being He Yuzhu's godfather. Seeing that He Yuzhu is no match for Xu Damao, he decisively stepped forward to rescue him.

"The purpose of our meeting is to find out who is behind the rumor, not to let you attack people here..."

"If you are not the one who spread the rumor, shut up..."

When Yi Zhonghai said this, his eyes were fixed on Xu Damao, trying to see something from his facial expression.

In the end, I didn't see anything.

Just when he was filled with disappointment, Xu Damao actually met his gaze and retorted: "Uncle..."

"I don't agree with what you said..."

"No matter who is saying that Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu are having an affair, we cannot accuse them of spreading rumors behind their backs."

"What they said is all true, how can it be a rumor..."

Yi Zhonghai was so choked up that he almost couldn't catch his breath. He glared at Xu Damao and replied, "Even if it's not a rumor, it's wrong to say bad things behind Zhuzi's blind date in front of him."

Xu Damao suddenly shook his head and answered helplessly: "Uncle, this is a new society..."

"Is it wrong for people to tell the truth?..."

He Yuzhu originally suspected that Xu Damao was the culprit in this incident. Seeing Xu Damao repeatedly defending the people who spoke ill of him behind his back, He Yuzhu became even more certain that the person who spoke ill of him was Xu Damao.

He walked directly to Xu Damao, grabbed him by the collar, and asked angrily, "Xu Damao, you bastard..."

"Did you say bad things about me in front of my blind date and spread rumors about me and Sister Qin..."

"Tsk..." Xu Damao replied with a cold snort.

"I, Xu Damao, am a good young man in our courtyard, a gentleman. How could I possibly speak ill of others behind their backs..."

"Silly pillar..."

"Let go quickly, or I'll report you for assault."

"Gentleman? Bah..." He Yuzhu cursed with a mocking face.

"Xu Damao, you are such a villain, but you still think you are a gentleman. You don't even know how to look at yourself in the mirror..."

"You must have been the one who spread rumors about me behind my back this afternoon. Answer me now..."

Xu Damao also got angry and yelled, "Shazhu, you are such a fool, let go quickly, or I will make you pay..."

He Yuzhu firmly believed that Xu Damao was the one behind the rumor. With Yi Zhonghai's support, he showed no fear at all when facing Xu Damao's threats. Instead, he asked sarcastically, "You want me to suffer..."

"Xu Damao, you want to show me off with your limited skills. It's not that I look down on you, but even if I give you one hand, you are no match for me."

After saying that, he slapped Xu Damao in the face and continued to question: "Tell me quickly, are you the one who spread rumors about me..." (End of this chapter)
