Liu Haizhong was blocked for a moment, and he did not dare to quarrel with Chen Dayong. Chen Dayong was now the deputy director of the Transportation Department, a serious cadre, while he was just an uncle in a compound. There was an obvious difference in status.

"Xu Damao, it's a good thing that you want to get married, but you, but you." Liu Haizhong suddenly forgot the words, "corrupt!" Chen Zhiguo reminded him, "Yes, what do you mean by corrupting He Yuzhu's wife?" Liu Haizhong's old face also blushed,

"I'm not corrupt, everyone says so?" Xu Damao looked innocent.

"Who said that? Who did you hear that from?" Chen Zhiguo didn't want to wait for Liu Haizhong, it was too slow and too long-winded! He might as well just ask directly, it would be faster this way, and he could control the rhythm himself!

"I heard it from the third uncle. It's him who said it!" Xu Damao staggered and pointed at Yan Bugui who was hiding in the crowd. "Yan Bugui, I didn't expect you to be such a person. You have such a dirty heart! Just because the blind date didn't like your family, are you going to ruin her reputation like this? Just wait, I will go to the street office and the school to report it tomorrow!" Chen Zhiguo didn't wait for He Yuzhu to speak, and went straight to deal with Yan Bugui. He Yuzhu drank tonight and couldn't speak clearly. Don't let him make something that he was right into something that he was not right!

"Xu Damao heard it wrongly. I didn't say that," Yan Bugui said defensively.

"I heard it right, that's what you said!" Xu Damao didn't want to take the blame. This was just a private conversation between two people. If he said something bad about the new bride in front of the whole hospital, wouldn't his reputation be ruined? Besides, it's always a bit embarrassing for a grown man to say bad things about a woman!

"Brother Damao, he just came back today, how could he know who Brother Zhuzi's wife is? Only your family knows in the whole courtyard, and you're still trying to make excuses?" Chen Zhiguo certainly wouldn't be fooled by Yan Bugui, "Just wait, I've never seen you act like this, you're so stupid at such an old age! You're so petty!"

In fact, Yan Bugui was also speechless. Before that, Xu Damao met Yan Jiecheng who was going to the toilet at the door. Xu Damao helped Xu Damao carry his bicycle in, and Xu Damao gave Yan Jiecheng a cigarette!

Xu Damao has been in high spirits recently. The Lou family has basically agreed, and he is going to marry a beautiful, rich and white lady soon. While smoking, Xu Damao started bragging to Yan Jiecheng. As they were talking, Yan Jiecheng mentioned that He Yuzhu was also going to get married soon. If he couldn't get Yu Li, he would destroy her!

So Yan Jiecheng exaggerated and fabricated stories to discredit Yu Li. When Xu Damao heard that she was He Yuzhu's wife and there were such shameful things happening, he of course became interested. He directly lit a cigarette for Yan Jiecheng, and the two of them started chatting at the gate, but what they said was a bit indecent!

Yan Bugui, who was in the room, saw Xu Damao coming back, and was thinking about whether he could get some local specialties from Xu Damao's handlebars. At the very least, he could have a cigarette like Yan Jiecheng. So he hurried out and joined the conversation. Xu Damao was not a stingy person, and he gave another round of cigarettes to the Yan father and son!

Yan Jiecheng, who couldn't hold it any longer, ran to the toilet, and Yan Bugui chatted with Xu Damao about this and that, trying to take Xu Damao's things. Coincidentally, He Yuzhu also came back drunk, and Xu Damao, who was a little drunk, saw He Yuzhu and immediately started bragging and mocking him!

Fortunately, He Yuzhu was now rational. He had just been taught a lesson by Chen Zhiguo last night and had not forgotten it! Otherwise, he would have beaten Xu Damao's face. If he didn't beat him, he could always scold him. So, He Yuzhu yelled at the top of his voice, and the quarrel between the two alarmed the entire courtyard!

Yan Bugui lowered his head and said nothing. Anyway, things had already come to this, so a few curses wouldn't matter!

"Uncle Liu, how are you going to deal with Yan Bugui's behavior? And Xu Damao ruined the girl's reputation for no reason. If they knew about this, they would come to our door and beat him up. No matter how they beat him up, they are always right!"

Liu Haizhong thought to himself that you finally remembered that I am the boss of the hospital. He wanted to ignore it, but he couldn't bear to do it. If he did, he didn't have any good ideas. "Xu Damao, Yan Bugui, you should apologize to He Yuzhu and apologize!"

Yan Bugui was his former partner, and Xu Damao lived across the street from his house. He would often send him some local specialties and was also quite respectful to him. Liu Haizhong just wanted to handle it lightly!

"Liu Haizhong, did you sneak into the half-closed door last night?" Chen Zhiguo shouted.

"You're talking nonsense, I didn't!" Liu Haizhong was furious. He had never seen someone put the blame on someone in such a way. Liu Haizhong clenched his fists and wanted to rush up to hit Chen Zhiguo!

Chapter 115: The discussion after the matter is over, they are not ordinary people!

"Oh! If not, I apologize. I'm sorry!" Chen Zhiguo said easily, "If you falsely accuse someone and simply apologize, that doesn't mean you can say anything you want and don't have to take any responsibility. That would be a mess!"

Everyone fell silent after hearing Chen Zhiguo's words. Yes, if it was just a simple apology, spreading rumors would be a cost-free thing. But if someone had bad intentions, what would happen? He Yuzhu discovered it in person. If he hadn't been discovered, wouldn't he be able to say whatever he wanted without restraint?

"Then what do you want to do?" Liu Haizhong was at a loss. He was stupid and slow to react. Before, it was Yi Zhonghai who made the decisions and he just cheered on the side. He had no experience in handling things at all!

"An apology is necessary, but a heavy punishment is also necessary. Wasn't the incident with the three aunts obvious?" Chen Zhiguo said forcefully.

Chen Zhiguo's words shocked the residents of the courtyard who were watching! Years ago, Li Ruihua was fined fifty yuan, detained for five days, and had to sweep the streets for three months! This punishment was very severe, but it also made those gossipers on the street behave themselves!

Today, Chen Zhiguo's proposal is indeed based on facts, and everyone also hopes that the punishment can be severe! Otherwise, the cost of these rumors is too low and too easy!

"Zhiguo, what do you think?" Liu Haizhong didn't have any good ideas either, and he had been with Yan Bugui for so many years, so they had some affection for each other, so he didn't want to be the bad guy!

"Either He Yuzhu goes to the street office tomorrow to report the situation and ask Director Wang to punish us according to the example from last time! Or we can solve it ourselves!"

Of course it would be best if the problem could be solved in the Siheyuan. Not only Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, and Xu Damao, but other residents also wanted to solve the problem in their own courtyard. In the past few months, the reputation of the Siheyuan has been ruined. First there was Jia Zhangshi, and then there was Li Ruihua, who ruined the reputation of the Siheyuan. Now they should not go out and embarrass themselves!

"What is the punishment in the courtyard?" Liu Haizhong continued to ask. Yan Bugui and Xu Damao were also very nervous!

"If the problem is solved in the courtyard, Yan Bugui's family is a repeat offender and has not learned from previous lessons. I suggest that Yan Bugui's family pay 100 yuan to He Yuzhu's wife as compensation, and also punish Yan Bugui's family to clean the courtyard for three months under the supervision of Second Uncle!" When Chen Zhiguo mentioned letting him supervise, Liu Haizhong, who just felt ignored, straightened his chest!

"One hundred yuan, this fine is too heavy! We can't afford it! We have no money!" Yan Bugui exclaimed. One hundred yuan, it would be worse than stabbing himself a hundred times. His flesh, heart, and body ached. Yan Bugui felt dizzy. This was really going to kill him! Yan Bugui decided to cheat and refused to pay the money no matter what!

"Yan Bugui, listen carefully. This is not a fine, and we have no right to fine you. This is the compensation your family voluntarily gives to Yu Li, as an apology for your rumors and slander! If you think the money is too much, then we will go to the street director Wang tomorrow to seek justice!" Chen Zhiguo's words left Yan Bugui speechless. If he really went to Director Wang, he really didn't know how to punish himself. Just punishing himself to sweep the streets for three months is embarrassing enough. What if he is detained for five days in the detention center? What is more important, one hundred yuan or a job? Yan Bugui certainly knows it clearly. He must not go to the street office!

Several things have happened in Yan Bugui's family in the past few months. Director Wang has no good impression of Yan Bugui's family, especially the matter caused by Li Ruihua, which has not been dealt with yet. Going to Yu Li's house for a blind date angered Director Wang again. If this matter is reported to her, and it is Yu Li who acted as a matchmaker, one can imagine how angry Director Wang will be!

Even if Yan Jiecheng is pushed out now, everyone will think that he doesn't want to take responsibility and let his son take the blame. This will make him look like a nobody. It's better to just let his son pay for the loss! Yan Bugui, who had figured it out, said quickly,

"No, I'll give you the compensation, but one hundred yuan is too much. I really can't afford it. Everyone knows my family's situation. The whole family depends on my salary. I really can't afford so much money!" Yan Bugui didn't want to go to the street office, and didn't want to take the money. His main plan was to cry poor and act pitiful until they got impatient and softened their hearts. Then he would have a chance!

"Yan Bugui, you have a long-standing friendship with Uncle Yi Zhonghai and Uncle Liu Haizhong. They are all veteran employees of the steel mill and earn high salaries. If you don't have money, you can just borrow from them first and then pay it back slowly. Don't you want to default on your debt and not compensate Sister Yu Li?"

Yan Bugui was speechless after being blocked by Chen Zhiguo. Could he say, "I don't want to give compensation?" If he didn't want to give it, this stinky boy would go to the street office immediately tomorrow, but the money was really too much, it was as painful as cutting flesh!

"Yan Bugui, just give me the answer straight away. It's getting late and I'm disturbing everyone's rest. Let's just go our separate ways. Brother Zhuzi will go to the street tomorrow!" Chen Zhiguo didn't give Yan Bugui any time to react and pressed on step by step!

"Hey! I'll give it to you! Lao Yi, lend me a hundred dollars, and I'll write you an IOU later!" Yan Bugui sighed and admitted defeat. His already thin figure became even more hunched!

Yi Zhonghai went home and took out a hundred yuan and handed it directly to He Yuzhu, "Uncle Yi, don't do this!" Chen Zhiguo hurriedly stopped him, "Let Yan Bugui handle this money!" Chen Zhiguo said to Yi Zhonghai with a smile.

Yi Zhonghai withdrew his hand awkwardly and handed it to Yan Bugui. When no one else noticed, the two exchanged glances. Yan Bugui sighed in his heart, is this not okay? Chen Zhiguo is a monster!

Chen Zhiguo took out a small notebook from his pocket and wrote a few lines on it. After Yan Bugui counted the money, he said, "Yan Bugui, please sign it, so that everyone can rest assured!"

Yan Bugui took it and looked at it. "Today, a resident of the courtyard, Yan Bugui, maliciously slandered the reputation of He Yuzhu's future daughter-in-law Yu Li. After being discovered by He Yuzhu, he apologized to He Yuzhu and gave Yu Li 100 yuan in reputation compensation!"

He is really experienced. Even at such a young age, he is able to do things perfectly without leaving any traces.

Yan Bugui was not defeated. Chen Zhiguo had thought of everything he could think of. He also thought that as long as He Yuzhu accepted the money, he could still turn black into white and say that he was forced. Now several people had to sign as a witness. His last idea was in vain.

Chen Zhiguo asked Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu and other residents of the courtyard to sign as proof, and then put the note away! Now it's time to deal with Xu Damao,

"Brother Damao, what do you say?" Chen Zhiguo said with a smile.

Xu Damao is also single. "I drank too much today and said something without restraint. I apologize and I accept the punishment. Zhiguo, you can do whatever you say!"

Xu Damao behaves like a real man, mainly because he is rich. In addition to his salary of more than 40 yuan, he also receives subsidies for going to the countryside. He also sells some supplies in the countryside. How can he spend all the money he lives on?

If I really take the case to the neighborhood office, I will suffer a loss, especially now is a critical moment. Lou Xiao'e, a rich and beautiful woman, cannot make any mistakes for such a small amount of money. As long as I marry Lou Xiao'e, I will have plenty of opportunities for revenge in the future!

Xu Damao was not short of money, so he was naturally courageous. Yan Bugui spent a hundred yuan, and he was sure that he would not spend more than Yan Bugui. Why should he be timid?

"Brother Damao, be generous! You are a real man. You and Brother Zhuzi have been friends since childhood. You should give sister-in-law fifty yuan as compensation, but you and Brother Zhuzi have such a good relationship. It is not appropriate for Brother Zhuzi to take the money. How about this, Brother Damao, you buy fifty yuan worth of candies and pastries and share them with the residents of our courtyard. Consider it a welcome gift from Sister Yu Li to everyone. What do you think?"

As soon as Chen Zhiguo finished speaking, cheers came one after another. Who wouldn't want to get benefits for free? It was really an unexpected surprise. Chen Zhiguo was a good guy!

"Okay! I'll do it tomorrow, and I'll make sure it's delivered to everyone's home before Sunday! He Yuzhu, I'm sorry, I didn't control my mouth today, please bear with me!" Xu Damao was still very generous.

"Alright! It's OK as long as the meaning is conveyed!" Xu Damao's apology made He Yuzhu a little uncomfortable. It was the first time in his life that Xu Damao apologized to him!

The residents of the courtyard were also generous and kept praising Xu Damao, which made Xu Damao feel elated!

"Da Mao, that's really nice!"

"Da Mao, you are a man from Yanjing! Be dignified!"

"Da Mao! Really good! What a man!"

Just when every household was feeling happy, this short courtyard meeting came to an end!

He Yuzhu did not go home, but followed Chen Zhiguo back to the courtyard. It seemed that going to bed early was out of the question. Chen Xiaoli and Lou Xiao'e were extremely excited!

"Chen Zhiguo, why don't you want Xu Damao's money?" Lou Xiao'e was a little confused. Why did he accept Yan Bugui's money but not Xu Damao's? She got angry when she saw this man. It was nothing! He started bragging about marrying her. How could she not be angry? If she wasn't afraid of her identity being exposed, Lou Xiao'e would have wanted to expose his lies to his face!

"There are so many tricks here!" Chen Zhiguo pointed at the teacup in front of him, "Hmph!" Lou Xiao'e gave him a displeased look, but still picked it up and refilled it with hot water!

"First, Xu Damao was just a messenger, and he heard it after drinking too much. He could have said that he was out of control. Just based on what he said, there was no way he could ask for so much money. It was just because of the example of Yan Bugui. Xu Damao just thought that he would give less than Yan Bugui, but as for the exact amount, there was also the example of the third aunt. Didn't you see that when I said fifty, he didn't object at all. He knew the amount in his mind!

Second, Brother Zhuzi took 100 yuan from Yan Bugui and 50 yuan from Xu Damao. Do you think the other residents in the yard would be jealous? Just because someone said a few words behind his back, he got 150 yuan. What would they think? They were jealous, but they didn't get any benefits. So would they gossip behind his back? The money that should not have been collected was directly transferred to everyone. They got the benefits, their mouths were shut, and they became people on the same line with Brother Zhuzi!

3. Xu Damao was drunk tonight and acted on impulse. If he had given the money to Brother Zhuzi, when he sobered up and realized that he had given the money, he would have apologized and naturally lost face!

Xu Damao will definitely regret it, bear a grudge, and try to take revenge, just by spreading rumors on the street. If you can't catch him in the act, you can't do anything about him, right? Not to mention, he has a lot of bad ideas, how can you guard against him?

Now that he has been put on the spot, although he has spent money, he has gained face and received compliments from the entire hospital. Do you think Xu Damao will still feel sorry for the fifty yuan? He will think that the money is worth it and he is a real man! "

Chen Zhiguo's explanation was not only understood by Lou Xiao'e, but also by He Yuzhu and Chen Dayong.

"Why can't we accept Yi Zhonghai's money?" He Yuzhu asked doubtfully.

"That's a trick on you. If you accept Yi Zhonghai's money, Yan Bugui can give Yi Zhonghai without writing an IOU, but the money won't reach him! Right?"

Chapter 116: They are all cunning people. If you are not careful, you will fall into their trap!

"But he borrowed the money from Yi Zhonghai?" He Yuzhu still didn't understand. "Yes! Didn't he borrow it from him in person?" Lou Xiao'e didn't understand either.

Chen Zhiguo was a little worried about the two men's brains, they were really stupid, "Well, let me explain it to you in detail, if you accept Yi Zhonghai's money, Yan Bugui will not dare to give Yi Zhonghai an IOU, because Yi Zhonghai has never given him a hundred yuan! Is that right! On the contrary, Yi Zhonghai will ask Brother Zhuzi for it, Yan Bugui will not give me an IOU, you should give me the money back, I can't do a good deed, I will lose a hundred yuan! What I mean, Brother Zhuzi, will you give the money to Yi Zhonghai?"

He Yuzhu thought about it and said "yes"

"Then Yi Zhonghai will take the 100 yuan back. If you ask Yan Bugui for it, Yan Bugui will definitely say, 'I borrowed 100 yuan from Yi Zhonghai, and I gave it to you in front of everyone, didn't I? Why are you asking me for it again?'"

"Then, Brother Zhuzi will definitely say that if you don't write an IOU, Yi Zhonghai won't lend you money. Yan Bugui will definitely say that whether to write an IOU is a matter between Yi Zhonghai and me, what does it have to do with you? You voluntarily gave money to Yi Zhonghai, and it has nothing to do with me, right? Anyway, I gave you the money in person! We have already settled the matter, why are you still looking for a later account? The point is, Yan Bugui said that you gave money to Yi Zhonghai, which is equivalent to your own behavior, and has nothing to do with him!"

Chen Zhiguo paused deliberately to give them time to react. "How is it, have you reacted?"

"Wait, I'm repeating myself," He Yuzhu said, scratching his head. This matter was really complicated and it was not easy for a simple-minded person like him to understand it!

"I took the money from Yi Zhonghai, which was given by Yan Bugui. However, Yan Bugui did not write an IOU to Yi Zhonghai because Yi Zhonghai did not give him the money. Yi Zhonghai no longer had the IOU, so he asked me for the money back. He did not owe me any money, so naturally I had to pay him back. I went to ask Yan Bugui for the money, but Yan Bugui said that he had indeed given me the money in front of everyone and I should not ask him for it again. As for the money owed to Yi Zhonghai, it was a matter between him and Yi Zhonghai and had nothing to do with me!

If I go to ask Yi Zhonghai for the money, there is no reason for it, right? Doesn't he owe me the money? How can I ask for it? Oh my god, why is it so roundabout? Fortunately, Zhiguo is here, otherwise Yan Bugui would have gotten it again! "He Yuzhu said, slapping his thigh!

"Yes, he is really cunning." Lou Xiao'e nodded in agreement. She also realized that this is the difference between a genius and a poor student!

"I just realized it too. At that time, I just felt that I shouldn't take money from Yi Zhonghai, but I didn't expect there was such a big mystery!" Chen Dayong also just completely understood the whole thing. With profound life experience, he just felt that something was wrong, but he didn't quite understand the whole thing!

"It's not that Yan Bugui is cunning, but that Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui work well together!" Chen Zhiguo continued to explain.

"Why is there still the matter of Yi Zhonghai?" He Yuzhu asked puzzled.

"Think about it! Normally, if I ask you to borrow money, should I give it to me? As for how to use the money, is it none of your business?" Chen Zhiguo asked He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu scratched his head. "Yes, you asked me to borrow money, and I specifically gave it to you. I only lend money. Who you give the money to is your business. It has nothing to do with me, right?"

"Then why did Yi Zhonghai bypass Yan Bugui and give it to you directly?" Chen Zhiguo continued to ask?

"Yeah! That shouldn't be the case. He should have given the money to Yan Bugui instead of giving it to me directly? Did he conspire with Yan Bugui? No, they didn't discuss it either. Is it a coincidence?" He Yuzhu's brain was about to explode? He couldn't think of a logical answer!

"Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui have been together as the boss for so many years. If they don't even have this little tacit understanding, then they are such a failure! If Director Wang hadn't suddenly appeared and didn't give them time to react, if it had been delayed for a few days, they might have been able to keep their positions as the boss!"

Chen Zhiguo took a sip of tea and handed the empty cup to Lou Xiaoe, and she obediently went to add water for Chen Zhiguo!

"What kind of people are there in your compound? They all seem to be cunning, and even the smallest actions are calculated!" Lou Xiao'e sighed and handed the teacup in her hand to Chen Zhiguo.

"What kind of people are they? They are all demons and monsters, Yi Zhonghai, the Moral God, Liu Haizhong, the born official fan, Yan Bugui, the iron abacus, Xu Damao, the flower-watching master, Jia Zhangshi," Chen Zhiguo made up a jingle.

He Yuzhu was amused, "You are right, what you said is quite accurate"

"Okay, stop laughing! I have something serious to tell you!" Chen Zhiguo said with a serious expression.

"From now on, whenever they talk to you, only believe them halfway, and don't agree to any request easily!"
