Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 874 Xu Damao is arrested!
Time flies, and it was soon 1975.

Around 10 a.m. on Sunday, Jia Dongming left Yu Li's house and drove his Jeep toward Tongluoguxiang. When the Jeep passed the park entrance, Jia Dongming saw Bang Geng pushing a bicycle and walking out of the park with a girl, chatting and laughing.

Upon seeing this, Jia Dongming showed a surprised expression, then drove his car towards home.

Back home, Jia Dongming saw Qin Huairu preparing lunch in the kitchen. Remembering what had just happened with Bang Geng, he immediately smiled and asked Qin Huairu, "Huairu! Do you know who I saw on my way back?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's question, Qin Huairu looked puzzled and asked him curiously, "Brother Dongming! Who did you see?"

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's question, Jia Dongming smiled and introduced her, "Huairu! When I passed by the park entrance just now, I saw Banggeng and a little girl coming out of the park. Judging from this, our family will probably be celebrating a happy occasion soon."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's explanation and learning that Bang Geng was in a relationship, Qin Huairu's face immediately lit up with ecstatic joy. She quickly asked Jia Dongming, "Brother Dongming! Is it true? Bang Geng is really in a relationship?"

When Jia Dongming heard Qin Huairu's question and saw her overjoyed expression, he smiled and said to her, "How could this be false? Judging from how intimate the two of them are when they walk, Bang Geng and that girl are definitely going to get together."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's answer and confirming the news that Bang Geng was in a relationship, Qin Huairu was overjoyed. She immediately asked Jia Dongming, "Brother Dongming! What does the girl Bang Geng is dating look like?"

When Jia Dongming heard Qin Huairu ask about the girl's appearance, he thought for a moment and then introduced her to Qin Huairu: "The girl has fair skin and a very pretty face. Judging from her clothes, her family should be quite well-off. However, you'll have to ask Bang Geng for details when he comes back."

"Dongming! What are you and Huairu talking about? Why are you chatting so enthusiastically? Did you buy the things I asked you to buy for me and bring them back?" Just as Jia Dongming finished speaking, Lin Qiuyue walked into the kitchen from outside and asked Jia Dongming with a curious look.

Upon hearing Lin Qiuyue's question, Jia Dongming first handed the bag in his hand to Lin Qiuyue, and then introduced her, "Qiuyue! I was talking to Huairu about our relationship."

"What! Bang Geng is in a relationship? Is that true? Where does Bang Geng's boyfriend live?" Lin Qiuyue was surprised when she heard the news from Jia Dongming, and asked Jia Dongming and Qin Huairu with a curious expression.

When Jia Dongming heard Lin Qiuyue's question, he smiled and explained to her, "Qiuyue! When I came back from buying things for you, I saw Banggeng and a little girl walking out of the park. They were chatting and laughing. As for the little girl's details, we don't know much about her."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's explanation, Lin Qiuyue smiled and said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu! It seems that it won't be long before a new person joins our family."

Hearing Lin Qiuyue's words and seeing Qin Huairu's expectant expression, Jia Dongming smiled and instructed Qin Huairu, "Huairu! When Banggeng comes back, remember to ask him about his girlfriend, especially about her family situation. Make sure you find out everything. Then, when the time is right, find a matchmaker to propose marriage." Actually, Jia Dongming didn't need to tell her; Qin Huairu would definitely ask Banggeng about his girlfriend as soon as he returned. Hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, Qin Huairu immediately nodded and replied with a smile, "Brother Dongming! I understand. I'll ask him about the girl when he gets back."

"Dongming-ge! Dongming-ge! Are you home?" Jia Dongming came out of the kitchen after hearing Qin Huairu's reply. Just as he was about to go back inside to wash his face, Shazhu's shout suddenly came from outside the main room.

Upon hearing Sha Zhu's shout, Jia Dongming immediately responded and came out of the house. Seeing Sha Zhu standing outside, he asked curiously, "Zhu Zi! What do you need me for?"

When Sha Zhu saw Jia Dongming coming out of the house, he immediately introduced him, "Brother Dongming! That kid Xu Damao has been arrested."

"What! Xu Damao has been arrested? What exactly happened?" Jia Dongming asked in shock upon hearing the news from Sha Zhu.

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's question and seeing the shocked expression on Jia Dongming's face, Sha Zhu quickly explained to Jia Dongming, "Brother Dongming! I heard that Xu Damao, I don't know who paid him, promised to help them find a job, but ended up arranging a job for the cleaning team at a steel rolling mill. The other party was not satisfied with the job arranged by Xu Damao and demanded that Xu Damao return the money. Xu Damao disagreed, so the other party sued Xu Damao."

When Jia Dongming learned the reason for Xu Damao's arrest, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face. He asked Shazhu curiously, "Zhuzi! Who told you this news? How come I didn't get any prior warning?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's question, Sha Zhu immediately explained to Jia Dongming, "Brother Dongming! This happened yesterday evening. I only found out about it when I overheard Director Li and the others talking while preparing the reception meal. I was thinking of telling you this last night, but you weren't home."

Sha Zhu paused slightly after saying this, then said to Jia Dongming, "Brother Dongming! Although that bastard Xu Damao has a foul mouth and we don't get along very well, we are still childhood friends who grew up together. Can you think of a way to save Xu Damao?"

Jia Dongming originally thought that Sha Zhu was just trying to gloat when he told him about Xu Damao's arrest. However, to Jia Dongming's surprise, Sha Zhu actually wanted him to help save Xu Damao. This reminded Jia Dongming of the story in the courtyard house, where Sha Zhu was driven out of the courtyard house by Bang Geng after he got old and froze to death under the overpass. In the end, it was Xu Damao who collected Sha Zhu's body.

Recalling the plot of the courtyard house, Jia Dongming had a vague feeling that although Sha Zhu and Xu Damao did not get along, they still cherished their childhood friendship, which was why Sha Zhu came to him for help.

Faced with Sha Zhu's request, Jia Dongming pondered for a moment before saying to Sha Zhu, "Zhu Zi! Wait a moment, I'll go back inside and call Li Huaide to ask if he knows about Xu Damao's arrest."
