Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

"Xu Damao... this person is actually Xu Damao..."

As soon as the sack on Xu Damao's head was taken away, there was a cry of surprise from the crowd.

Everyone was talking even louder, as if they had discovered a new continent.

Seeing Xu Damao closing his eyes and pretending to be unconscious, Wang Dong did not expose him.

Just now he saw Xu Damao wake up, move his hands twice, and clench them into fists, obviously he was angry.

Now his clenched fists had loosened, indicating that he did not want to embarrass himself in front of the residents in the yard, so he pretended to faint and left.

As the saying goes, send the Buddha to the west. I have just covered Xu Damao with a torn bed sheet, so I don’t mind sending it back home.

Seeing two disciples running over to watch the fun, he immediately arranged: "Dashan, Longfei..."

"You two come quickly to help and carry Xu Damao to his home."

"It's not particularly cold now, but it's still a problem to be naked outside in the cold."

"Someone go to Xu Damao's house and knock on the door. Ask his wife to boil some water immediately. Give Xu Damao some hot water to drink later. Don't let him get frozen."

After listening to Wang Dong's arrangements, Xu Damao was deeply moved and vowed to repay Wang Dong in the future.

Of course, there is no need for Wang Dong to help Xu Damao in this way.

I just think Xu Damao is too vicious. He is ruthless when scheming against others. He even used his ex-wife and ex-father-in-law's family as a token of his allegiance to Deputy Director Li. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as ungrateful.

When dealing with such people, Wang Dong's style has always been not to make close friends with them, nor to offend them. He would help when he could without violating discipline and keep some goodwill.

But this does not mean that Wang Dong is afraid of Xu Damao.

It’s just that Xu Damao is too vicious in his behavior. If I offend him, he will definitely not dare to deal with me easily with my current status, but he can deal with Sister Jun and Uncle Chen.

In a few years, college students like Sister Jun will be the main targets of crackdowns.

Once Xu Damao had his eyes on her, even if he was promoted to the position of kitchen manager at the steel mill, it would be impossible for him to protect her all the time, as he would always be negligent.

At that time, Xu Damao had already gained the trust of Deputy Director Li and was leading people to search houses everywhere, eliminating dissidents for Deputy Director Li and amassing wealth.

As long as Xu Damao remembers his kindness, doesn't make trouble for him, and doesn't deal with Sister Jun and Uncle Chen.

The other residents in the yard could do nothing to them.

When Huang Longfei and Tang Dashan were carrying Xu Damao home, He Yuzhu was hiding behind the door and watching with a smile on his face, obviously very satisfied with his work last night.

It is conceivable that it would not take long before the whole street would be filled with the news that Xu Damao had been stripped naked and thrown into a courtyard.

Maybe the word that Xu Damao's lower body is thinner than his little finger will get out, and then Xu Damao will be embarrassed and people will point fingers at him whenever he leaves the courtyard.

Little did they know that the current Xu Damao is no longer the Xu Damao who only wanted to compete with He Yuzhu in the yard two years ago.

Under Wang Dong's influence, her mind has become much more mature than it was two years ago.

Otherwise, Xu Damao would not have pretended to be asleep to avoid embarrassment.

Instead, he immediately got up from the ground, rushed to He Yuzhu, and confronted him face to face. He was ambushed by He Yuzhu last night and ended up like this.

But He Yuzhu must have thought of his excuse in advance.

Even if Xu Damao confronted him, he would not get any good result. Moreover, there was Yi Zhonghai standing behind He Yuzhu. With Yi Zhonghai's help, Xu Damao would have no chance to take advantage of He Yuzhu through this incident.

Xu Damao decided to endure it for the time being and go directly to the police.

I am not a match for He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai, but the police can tell which of He Yuzhu's words are false and which are true. With the police helping me investigate, no matter how deep He Yuzhu hides, he will be exposed.

At that time, the initiative of the fight between the two parties will be in his own hands. He will have the final say on whether to let He Yuzhu pay compensation or let the police arrest him and send him to labor reform.

No matter how much Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu tried to argue, it was useless.

Seeing Xu Damao being carried home, an expression of disappointment flashed across He Yuzhu's face.

It’s all Wang Dong and Tang Dashan’s fault for meddling in other people’s business, otherwise that bastard Xu Damao would have to stay out in the cold for a while longer.

More and more residents of the Siheyuan will see the naked Xu Damao...

Just as I was about to go back to bed to catch up on some sleep, there was a sudden knock on the door behind me.

He Yuzhu didn’t know who would come to see him so early, but he still opened the door as soon as possible.

I saw godfather Yi Zhonghai standing at the door with a sullen face.

He walked in, closed the door, sat down on the chair neatly, and then said, "Zhu Zi..."

"Tell me the truth, was it you who caused Xu Damao to be like this this morning?"

He Yuzhu shook his head like a drum and quickly refused: "No..."

"Godfather..."

"I was sleeping at home last night. How could I possibly go after Xu Damao? You must be overthinking it."

"I, He Yuzhu, have always been upright in my actions. Although I have a grudge against Xu Damao, I would never resort to such despicable means against him."

"You have wronged me..."

Yi Zhonghai kept his eyes on He Yuzhu's every move, trying to find some evidence from his facial expression.

But there was no change in He Yuzhu's expression.

Yi Zhonghai was still a little worried, looking into He Yuzhu's eyes and continued, "Are you sure you didn't do this?"

"Xu Damao is not a good person. He will definitely take revenge if he suffers a loss. You have just been promoted to a level 9 chef in the steel mill, and you will be promoted to a level 8 chef next year. No accidents can happen at this juncture."

"If you really did this, don't lie to me."

"As long as I, your godfather, prepare in advance, even if Xu Damao knows that it was you who did it last night, he won't be able to find any evidence."

"This matter can only end with him suffering a loss, and it will end up in nothing."

He Yuzhu shook his head again: "Godfather..."

"This matter really has nothing to do with me."

"I heard that Xu Damao would always flirt with the widows in the village whenever he went to the countryside to show movies."

"What do you think about this matter? Could it be that Xu Damao made a mistake in the commune, and then he was chased all the way to the city, and he happened to be taught a lesson in the yard?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't see any disturbance on He Yuzhu's face, and he kept nodding at He Yuzhu's analysis.

After Xu Damao became a projectionist at the steel rolling mill, he had flirted with widows in the commune more than once, and they had come to the courtyard to look for him twice.

Since this matter has nothing to do with He Yuzhu, Yi Zhonghai, as his godfather, can rest assured.

Then he stood up from his chair and planned to go home to get ready before going to work at the steel mill. (End of this chapter)
