Chapter 146

"Brother, bring me a cup too." He Daqing also wanted to have a sip and think about how to deal with this matter.

Without thinking or saying anything, Jia Zhang came to the door.

"Everyone is here. Let me tell you about the fairy peach."

Jia Zhang also came here with a brave face, "Xiantao remarried after returning to the village two years ago..."

She directly betrayed her niece and exposed her past to prevent her niece from competing with her for Lao He.

Cai Quanwu quickly said, "Brother, there is something wrong with Zhang Xiantao's composition. I don't like him."

"Oh! It won't work."

He Daqing sighed, feeling extremely regretful. You said you wanted to remarry, so just do it, but why did you find a criminal?

"Mrs. Jia Zhang, go tell Zhang Xiantao that both my brothers and I don't like her. Let her go back to the village."

"Okay, then I'll go and reply." Jia Zhang smiled at Li Zhiguo and left.

Li Zhiguo understood that Jia Zhang was still unwilling to give up on the thief Old He and had become a love rival of Xiantao?

But unexpectedly, the one who was even more persistent was Zhang Xiantao. Not long after Jia Zhang had gone out, someone came to the door on his own.

"Mr. Cai, you should be conscientious. You won't just forget about me."

"Zhang Xiantao, what are you talking about?"

Cai Quanwu was completely confused. Zhang Xiantao had said at the beginning that she wanted to be with him, but before she could do anything, she left.

He Daqing twitched his face, and hurriedly pulled his brother out. When they got outside, he said, "Brother, go out and hide for two days. I think Xiantao is trying to rely on you."

"Hey, I'm going to hide at Qiangzi's place for a few days."

Cai Quanwu didn't think much about it and ran away. With Xu Huizhen, who would still like Zhang Xiantao?

"Old Cai, where are you going..." Zhang Xiantao chased after him, but there was no way he could catch up.

Li Zhiguo just came to watch the fun, so he left quickly. When he got to the yard, he saw Sha Zhu still showing off his bicycle and having fun.

"Li Zhiguo, my family has a bicycle now too."

Sha Zhu grinned. His family was not poor and they lived a good life by riding a tricycle.

"Just scream!"

Li Zhiguo shook his head and left. The He family had a lot of troubles, and with the widow involved, there was no hope of having an easy life.

Just as we reached the corridor, Xu Damao appeared out of nowhere.

"Li Zhiguo, are you just going to watch Sha Zhu so proudly?"

Damao tasted the sweetness of slandering Li Xinmin before, and found that he could pull the wool over Li Zhiguo's eyes, so he wanted to take action again this time.

"What's wrong, Damao? Don't you want to see your brothers live a good life? I'm going back to eat, you figure it out on your own!"

Li Zhiguo patted Damao on the shoulder and left.

"No, you should explain it clearly!"

Xu Damao was confused. Should he punish Sha Zhu? Or should he imitate Li Zhiguo and make a move?
He couldn't stand seeing Sha Zhu's smug look and felt unhappy.

Never mind, I have to pee urgently, I’m going to the toilet first.

……

"Brother Li!"

"Chunyan, what's the matter?"

When Li Zhiguo passed by Lao Xu's house, he was stopped by Damao's wife.

"Nothing much, I just want to see Dr. Liang next Tuesday. Can you make an appointment for me?"

Tang Chunyan has been a little depressed recently. It's not that she wants to learn embroidery, but she has heard gossip in the yard several times, saying that she can't give birth to children and is a hen that can't lay eggs.

Suddenly she understood why the old lady rarely came out to chat, because she couldn't stand hearing too much gossip.

"Okay, I'll make an appointment for you tomorrow."

Li Zhiguo originally wanted to say something, but finally held back and let Dr. Liang speak himself.

……

But when Xu Damao came out of the toilet, he suddenly saw a relative of the Jia family coming out of the yard. Was he also going to the toilet?

"Hey, your name is Zhang Xiantao, right?"

"It's me. What's your name? I've seen you before."

Zhang Xiantao was full of anger as she had just had a quarrel with her aunt. She didn't expect Lao Cai to be so heartless. He had clearly gone to a small hotel at first, but now he was hiding.

"My name is Xu Damao, and I'm a projectionist at the steel mill..."

Xu Damao introduced himself and said, "Sister Zhang, why do you like the man from Old He's family? The men in his family are not good. They have bad tempers and are stupid!"

He originally wanted to discredit the He family and disrupt this marriage. Anyway, he was not willing to see the He family live an easy life.

Who knew Zhang Xiantao suddenly interrupted and said, "Comrade projectionist, are you attracted to me? How about I be nice to you?"

"What? You are good to me?" Xu Damao was startled and confused. This was not right. He was not intercepting.

"Yes, I'll be with you! My aunt mentioned you, saying that you've been married for several years but don't have a child, so you'll definitely be extinct in the future.

I can give birth, how about I give birth to a child for you!"

As Zhang Xiantao spoke, he grabbed Xu Damao's arm and refused to let go.

After losing the two He brothers, she found a younger projectionist who was married but had no children, and she was happy with it.

"You just said that Jia Zhang was cursing me behind my back and making me extinct."

Xu Damao was furious. Even Li Zhiguo had never said anything about this to him. What right did you, Jia Zhang, have to curse him?

"Comrade projectionist, my aunt not only called you a tyrant, she also said something even more unpleasant."

Zhang Xiantao moved closer as he spoke, determined to capture the man today and keep him in the city at all costs.

"Hey, what are you two doing!?"

Liu Haizhong came out from the courtyard gate. He had always had a problem of frequent urination. It was almost time for dinner, but he couldn't help but go out for a run. Who knew he would see such a big scene.

"No, Uncle Er, don't get me wrong, this, this has nothing to do with me..."

Xu Damao then realized that he was being entangled by Zhang Xiantao, and hurriedly tried to break free, but he was not as strong as the other person and his arm was held tightly.

"Someone come, someone come quickly, the shoes are broken."

Liu Haizhong howled loudly. After all, something happened in the courtyard, so he had to be severely criticized and announced in public that he was elected as the team leader of the factory.

"Second uncle, stop it, this is none of my business!"

Xu Damao was confused. He didn't do anything, so why did he get himself involved?

Why was it that Li Zhiguo never got caught even once despite doing so many bad things behind the scenes?

"Li Zhiguo, hurry up, there seems to be something wrong in the front yard."

Sha Zhu suddenly arrived at the door. He had been showing off his bicycle in the central courtyard. When he heard the noise, he wanted to call Li Zhiguo over so that he could take a look at Sister Qin.

"What happened?"

Li Zhiguo had just picked up the bowl and chopsticks and had not started eating yet.

"It was Uncle Two who was shouting in the front yard. Uncle Three and Uncle One have already gone there. I still have to notify Aunt Two."

Sha Zhu looked into the house again, then quickly went to Lao Liu's house to watch the fun.

"Huai Ru, I'll go take a look and come back to eat."

As Li Zhiguo spoke, he took out a bowl of white flour and filled his stomach first.

"Da Mao, Damao..."

After calling twice, he remembered that Damao didn't seem to have come back.

"Brother Li, what's the matter?"

Tang Chunyan came out of the room and said, "Da Mao went to the toilet."

"Hey! There seems to be something going on in the front yard. You don't have anything to do, so come along."

Li Zhiguo guessed that Chunyan had not been going out recently, probably because of having a baby, but she should be more cheerful at such a young age.

"Okay!" Tang Chunyan smiled and followed him.

It just so happens that Shazhu and Second Auntie are here too, so there's nothing wrong with them going to the front yard together.

……

"Uncle, listen to me. This is really none of my business. She took the initiative to hold me and didn't let me go. She didn't have an affair with me."

Xu Damao was so anxious that he jumped up and down. How could this not be explained clearly?

"Da Mao, we can't just listen to you on this matter. I'll ask you guys carefully after everyone arrives."

Liu Haizhong had a stern face. It wasn't easy for him. He finally encountered an accident in the courtyard.

After a short while, the two uncles, the aunts, the people from the Jia family, and Li Zhiguo and his group all arrived. It was rare to see such a lively gathering in the front yard.

"Da Mao, how can this have anything to do with you?"

Although Li Zhiguo had some guesses, he still felt it was a bit far-fetched when he saw Xu Damao and Zhang Xiantao standing together. Could it be that Damao was already flirting with young widows at such a young age?
No, this is not Xu Damao’s hobby. Damao, like him, only likes young and beautiful women.

"Li Zhiguo, you have to make the decision for me."

Xu Damao hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the man. He thought that his brother Zhiguo was probably the only one in the courtyard who could understand him.

"What am I supposed to do? What's going on? Chunyan is still here."

"Li Zhiguo, let me tell you about this!"

Liu Haizhong took over the conversation, "I just came out to use the restroom and saw Zhang Xiantao and Xu Damao hugging each other. What else could this be but adultery?"

"No, Second Uncle..." Xu Damao wanted to explain immediately but was interrupted.

"Let Zhang Xiantao speak. We can't just listen to you."

Liu Haizhong had a stern face. He was determined to get to the bottom of the matter even if he was suffocated to death.

Zhang Xiantao was very calm and said swiftly, "I just came out to use the toilet, and as soon as I walked out the door I was stopped by the projectionist.

He asked me how could I like someone from the He family, and said that the He family members were no good, had bad tempers, and were stupid..."

"Okay, Xu Damao, you little bastard, actually said bad things about my family behind their backs."

Sha Zhu got confused and wanted to go up and hit someone with his fists.

"Li Zhiguo, save me!" Xu Damao quickly hid behind his brother, unable to get beaten in vain.

"Okay, Shazhu, let's solve this matter later. Let's listen to Xiantao first."

Li Zhiguo stopped Sha Zhu and asked, "What are you yelling about? Your He family has a lot of problems to deal with."

"Don't make trouble, you idiot."

He Daqing also hurriedly pulled his son aside. He didn't have time to hide from Zhang Xiantao and was almost trapped.

Zhang Xiantao's eyes lit up, and he said, "Brother He, I knew you still care about me."

"No, I feel sorry for you. I feel sorry for Xu Damao."

He Daqing said the wrong thing in a hurry. Everyone was confused and subconsciously thought, is it possible that Lao He is involved with Sister Xu?
Even Xu Damao was dumbfounded. Could it be that he and Sha Zhu were half brothers? This was impossible!
"Okay, let's get down to business. Zhang Xiantao, please continue."

Li Zhiguo stood up to uphold justice and not let the three uncles steal the limelight. He was the upper-class resident in the courtyard and it was just the right opportunity to gradually weaken the influence of the three uncles.

"Hey!"

Zhang Xiantao responded and then said, "It was him later. Xu Damao said he wanted to be with me. He also said that his wife had been unable to give birth to a child for several years and he didn't want to be extinct, so he asked me to give him a big fat boy."

"You are talking nonsense, Zhang Xiantao, how can you lie to me?"

Xu Damao was really jumping up and down, "Zhang Xiantao, it was you who said you wanted to be with me, and you also said that Jia Zhang cursed my Chunyan behind her back, saying that she couldn't have children and that I was a childless person."

Good man, everyone was dumbfounded again. Both sides seemed to say the same thing, but the key was who said it. "Xu Damao, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever scold you for extinction?

Everyone in this courtyard knows that I have been well-behaved since I entered the factory as a worker. I only scolded Dongxu last time when he went fishing. I definitely never scolded you for exterminating your family."

Jia Zhang started yelling, saying that this matter could not be acknowledged. She not only scolded Xu Damao and Yi Zhonghai, but most importantly, she scolded Tang Chunyan, because their uncle was a leader.

"No, this is what Zhang Xiantao said, saying that you are scolding me for making my family extinct."

Xu Damao also clenched his fists. He couldn't beat others, so how could he be afraid of Jia Zhang? Besides, Jia Dongxu was not in the yard at the moment, so he was not afraid.

"I didn't say anything. She's my aunt. How could I say anything bad about her?"

Zhang Xiantao quickly denied it, saying that if she offended her aunt, she wouldn't know where to stay tonight.

"You just said it!"

"I did not say."

The two of them couldn't help but argue, and neither of them could convince the other.

"Okay, who told you to quarrel? Can quarreling alone lead to any consequences?

Just now, Second Master saw you two hugging each other, what's going on?"

Li Zhiguo scolded Ruo! Then he glanced at Chunyan. It was true. Not being able to have children was a big problem.

Xu Damao said quickly: "She hugged me, not me, but my arm."

"That's not right. It was him, Xu Damao, who held me and said he wanted to be with me."

Zhang Xiantao refused to give in. How could she admit it since she had been seen by others? If she really admitted it, how could she go to find the He brothers?

"You hugged me."

"You were the one who held me."

The two men started arguing, saying the same thing, but in opposite ways.

"That's enough! One of you must be lying."

What Li Zhiguo said was the same as not saying anything, but it was the fact, otherwise it would not be so consistent.

"Li Zhiguo, you have to believe me. She really took the initiative to be with me."

Xu Damao felt that he was in trouble. If Zhang Xiantao blamed him, all would be over.

"Brother Li, you have to believe me too... Woohoo, the projectionist is bullying the country folk."

Zhang Xiantao started crying as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Li Zhiguo shook his head: "Let's all go to the middle courtyard, don't let the people in the outer courtyard laugh at you."

"That's right. Let's go to the middle court."

Yi Zhonghai quickly agreed that no matter what happened, it would not affect the reputation of the hospital.

Li Zhiguo looked at the Damao brothers and probably guessed that this villain wanted to slander the He family, but he failed miserably and was blamed by Zhang Xiantao. This was going to be a tough one.

Soon Yan Bugui closed the front yard gate, and everyone moved to the middle yard. Most of the residents were there, except Dongxu and Lao Cai, who were outside and not important.

If conditions allowed, they simply held a meeting of the entire institute, and even Qin Huairu was called, but Li Zhiguo was still the one who presided over it.

“Xiantao, Damao, we will handle it step by step.

First of all, Damao, did you slander the He family? "

After Li Zhiguo asked the question, he took a bite of white flour. He and Liu Haizhong were now sitting on a bench, temporarily forming a united front.

"Da Mao, answer honestly!"

Liu Haizhong joined in, he also wanted to take the opportunity to show off.

"me……"

Xu Damao couldn't bear it anymore, "I did say bad things about the He family, but I didn't know that Uncle He loved me."

"No, Xu Damao, please explain clearly. Why should my father feel sorry for you?"

Sha Zhu stood up suddenly and refused to agree. It was not enough to have Li Zhiguo, and now there appeared Xu Damao.

There is also Uncle Cai Quanwu, and even Jia Dongxu is my father's apprentice. So among the five brothers in the courtyard, he is the outsider, and he is always being scolded, right?

"Isn't this what my uncle He said?"

Xu Damao has really improved. He even knows how to make a fuss and try to get around this matter. But he is still a little skeptical. Could it be that He Daqing is really having an affair with me?
Sha Zhu couldn't help but mutter: "Grandma's!"

"Okay, Damao, since you've admitted it, this is a question of moral character. What reason do you have to slander the He family?
How come others have bad tempers? And Shazhu is just a nickname, he is not really stupid, right Shazhu! "

Li Zhiguo decided to teach everyone a lesson today, what does it mean to give everyone fifty lashes, and not to mind watching the fun.

"No, I was just joking. It's not a moral issue. Isn't it enough for me to apologize?"

Xu Damao was a little scared. They were all brothers, so why would Li Zhiguo betray him at the critical moment?

"Just apologizing won't work. You have to give a reason."

Li Zhiguo is pressing forward step by step. Recently, Xu Damao has been a little active and wants to stir up trouble. He even plotted against him.

Let Damao taste the power of moral blackmail. This is a move that Damao will never be able to learn in his life, a high-level martial art.

"Yes, Xu Damao, please tell me why you want to slander my family."

Sha Zhu had already clenched his fists and was ready to hit someone.

Xu Damao was dumbfounded. Being pushed to this point, he could only say, "I just can't stand Shazhu's boasting. He just bought a bicycle. What's there to brag about? I couldn't help but said a few nonsense words."

"Xu Damao, you're looking for a fight!"

Sha Zhu suddenly rushed over and punched Xu Damao twice, one in the eye and one in the stomach, knocking him to his knees on the spot.

"Shazhu, you launched a sneak attack!" Xu Damao knelt on the ground and almost vomited. It was a good thing that he hadn't had dinner yet.

Li Zhiguo stood up and shouted, "Old He, why don't you pull Sha Zhu away? This is a meeting of the whole hospital. Is this the place to hit people?"

"Hey, Silly Zhu, what are you doing? Stop embarrassing yourself."

He Daqing walked forward and pulled Sha Zhu back to sit down. He was also a cunning man. There was a deaf old lady next to him who could help him at the critical moment.

Li Zhiguo then went over to help Xu Damao, who had a panda eye, up, and whispered, "You can get away with this fairy peach incident by pretending to be pitiful and using a self-torture tactic."

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that this was Li Zhiguo's move, and it was too powerful.

Xu Damao immediately shouted, "Uncle He, Shazhu, I was rude tonight and I was jealous. I shouldn't have slandered your family. Shazhu deserved to hit me. I slapped myself in the face."

Xu Damao got so angry that he slapped himself hard in the face.

This operation confused everyone. What was going on?

"I think Shazhu has gone too far. No matter what, he shouldn't hit someone in front of the whole school."

"That's right. Xu Damao was wrong first and shouldn't have gossiped. But if I were you, I would be jealous of what Sha Zhu did in the courtyard."

"That's right. His family earns money by riding a tricycle. What's there to be proud of? No matter how much he earns, it's still hard work.

Unlike Li Zhiguo, who does nothing all day, his family has two cars and all the four major appliances, and he lives a good life. "

The residents were talking about it, which made the He father and son dumbfounded. What was going on?

"Silly Zhu, you fought in public and affected the unity of the courtyard. You must be punished. The punishment is that you help me host a banquet next month."

Li Zhiguo discovered that Sha Zhu has been showing off recently. Ever since he started cooking, he has become more and more arrogant. This is not good.

"No, why should I help you with the wedding banquet? Besides, there is no happy event in your family."

Sha Zhu disagreed. He said he shouldn't have hit Xu Damao. Even if he did, what did it have to do with you, Li Zhiguo?

Although Li Zhiguo had taught him how to pursue Xu Huizhen before, he also gave gifts so that others would not work in vain.

Li Zhiguo smiled and said, "My birthday is next month. I celebrated it earlier last year, but I'll celebrate it formally this year.

Old lady, you have to come on my birthday, and let Sha Zhu cook for me."

"Okay, okay, Madam, you have to come. It's my eldest grandson's birthday. Madam, I'm very happy."

As the deaf old lady spoke, the cane in her hand suddenly fell on Sha Zhu, "You silly grandson, I let you hit someone, so you don't know how to respect your elder brother."

"Madam, why are you hitting me? Isn't it okay for me to host a banquet for Li Zhiguo?"

Shazhu shrank his body, dared not resist, and gave in.

"Okay, since Shazhu has agreed, then that's it.

The little conflict between Xu Damao and Sha Zhu has been revealed. Let's move on. After I finish, let the three uncles make a summary. Is that okay? "

After Li Zhiguo had used these three moves, he looked at the three uncles. He was now snatching away their rights.

Yan Bugui said immediately: "I have no objection, let Li Zhiguo preside over the meeting."

"I have no objection!" Yi Zhonghai didn't say much tonight. It was about Xu Damao's matter, and he didn't worry about it.

"Then I will make a final summary."

Liu Haizhong had no objection. He became the team leader thanks to Li Zhiguo. He was familiar with Director Yang, so he had to curry favor with him.

"Okay, in that case, let's continue. Zhang Xiantao, what are you doing here today?"

Li Zhiguo immediately directed his attention to the Jia family, then took another bite of the flour and finished it.

Qin Huairu found an opportunity, stood up and handed over the teacup in her hand.

"Well! Zhang Xiantao, please say something!"

Li Zhiguo took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then asked Liu Haizhong to move closer so that he could put the cup on the table.

"I, I'm here to find a man. I'm just a widow with two children.

I went to the hospital two years ago and had already discussed it with Lao Cai, but he didn’t come to the village to pick me up. "

Zhang Xiantao was still aggrieved as she spoke, and she shouted: "That heartless old man, Old Cai, ran away without any regard for our friendship!"

When He Daqing heard this, his face darkened. That matter really had nothing to do with his brother.

Li Zhiguo shook his head and said, "Zhang Xiantao, as far as I know, when you came to the hospital two years ago, your husband had been gone for less than three months, and you were eager to remarry, and you hadn't even finished the mourning period!

Also, you remarried after returning to the village the year before last, until last month, when your husband was arrested and shot for stealing and injuring an old soldier.

Now you are a widow again, and you want to rely on the He brothers. How can such a good thing happen? "

He directly exposed Zhang Xiantao's past. If such a noisy person really came to the courtyard, it would not be a good thing, so he decided to drive him away.

But the old Jia family and Xu Damao also have to make some efforts to maintain the peace in the courtyard and not affect his family's life.

"Ah! Zhang Xiantao's successor actually dared to persecute the old soldier. Is there something wrong with her background?"

Xu Damao stood up suddenly. He didn't expect there was such a secret. Fortunately, Li Zhiguo told him, otherwise he would suffer.

The residents in the courtyard were also talking about it. This news was too shocking. They didn't expect that Zhang Xiantao, who looked to be in her early thirties, actually had two men.

"Hey, do you think Zhang Xiantao is unlucky in marriage? She has killed two of them."

"Need I say more? Isn't it obvious? Each one has a shorter lifespan than the other. If I look for another one, I'm afraid I won't last more than a year."

"It's a good thing that Old He's family didn't like it, otherwise the wedding would have turned into a funeral very quickly."

Hearing this, He Daqing shuddered. Fortunately, he retreated in time, otherwise he might be hanging on the wall now.

It seems that he has an incompatibility with flowers and peaches. From now on, he will stay away from anyone with this name, even if she is a widow. Hui is really good.

"You are talking nonsense. Where did you hear this news? It's all fake."

Zhang Xiantao started yelling, wondering how come she was being thoroughly investigated as soon as she arrived at the hospital.

At this time, Chen Bihua couldn't help but secretly glance at Li Ge'er. She was also a widow, and she married Jia Dongxu without telling him, so she probably didn't know about this.

Li Zhiguo said directly: "You should ask your aunt about this. She said so."

"Ah! Aunt, why do you tell everything to others? Are you still my aunt?"

Zhang Xiantao was stunned and felt like he was stabbed in the back.
