Courtyard House: Is Xu Damao a childless man? Let me help.

Then... he discovered that the projector he had painstakingly carried back seemed to be broken.

In this way, even if Xu Damao wanted to accept his bad luck, there was nothing he could do. After all, he couldn't afford to take the blame for the broken projector.

If the matter is reported in its entirety, then as the 'victim,' the responsibility I need to bear will be less. Otherwise, not only will I have to pay for the projector, but I'll also probably lose my job.

Unfortunately, Xu Damao was unaware that his attempt to 'extricate' himself from the situation had only landed him in even greater trouble.

Well, actually, not only did Xu Damao not know, Ye Jianchuan himself did not expect it either, because what happened next was just too 'dramatic'.

After resting in the courtyard for a whole day and recuperating from his injuries, Xu Damao carried the broken projector back to the steel mill to play the victim.

With these injuries as proof, even if he still couldn't save the projector, he shouldn't be held responsible, right? (Li Hao)

Of course, when reporting to his superiors, he wouldn't be foolish enough to say that the person smashed the projector because they were looking for a personal grudge.

"Director Liu, I've done my best, but I still couldn't save the projector! Look at my face and all the injuries on my body."

Unfortunately, there were too many people on the other side, and in the end, they managed to snatch the projector and smash it.

When Director Liu of the steel rolling mill's publicity office heard Xu Damao's 'complaints' and saw that Xu Damao was indeed covered in injuries, he ultimately chose to give him a lenient sentence.

In the end, Xu Damao only had to pay secondary responsibility and compensate half a month's salary, and that was the end of the matter.

Of course, the steel mill's security office and the nearby police station also opened a case to investigate the incident, since vandalizing public property is a very serious matter.

Chapter 247 Xu Damao is going in too.

Unfortunately, their investigation was destined to be fruitless, because all the information Xu Damao provided was wrong. Since the information was wrong from the beginning, it would be truly unbelievable that government officials could find anything out.

As for Xu Damao, after reporting the situation to Director Liu, he prepared to go back. However, he did not expect that he would run into his 'female apprentice' as soon as he stepped out.

After seeing Xu Damao limping out of Director Liu's office, the female apprentice went up to him and gave him a little help.

Xu Damao was also someone who liked to court death. He felt that since he was injured, he was considered a wounded soldier, and it was only right for his female apprentice to help him up. So he never even considered that...

On the contrary, Xu Damao deliberately leaned closer to the other person, clearly wanting to take advantage of them, which was exactly what Xu Damao wanted.

His female apprentice was just worried about not finding a good opportunity to complete the task assigned to her by Yang Weimin, and now Xu Damao had come to his death on his own initiative, so why should he be polite?

And so, the female apprentice helped Xu Damao walk back to the projectionist's lounge.

After returning to the lounge, he casually closed the door and then began to inquire about Xu Damao's well-being.

In Xu Damao's view, his female apprentice was clearly interested in him! Not only was she showing him concern and care, but she also offered to help him apply medicine.

After the divorce, Xu Damao hadn't done radio calisthenics for a long time, and his female apprentice had previously gone out to eat and shop with him.

In Xu Damao's view, the female apprentice's current behavior was already a sign that she had taken the bait. Since she had already taken the bait, he might be able to win her over in one fell swoop by flirting with her a little more.

That's why, when the female apprentice asked him to take off his clothes so she could apply medicine to him, Xu Damao didn't resist at all.

However... to Xu Damao's surprise, after he took off his clothes, his female apprentice turned on him.

She unbuttoned two buttons on her shirt, took the clothes Xu Damao had taken off, yelled "Indecent assault!", and then rushed out.

Xu Damao was still in a daze when his female apprentice returned with her people. Since they were in a factory with people everywhere, all the female apprentice had to do was find two people to be witnesses.

And then... that was it. Xu Damao was truly helpless in this situation; he couldn't explain himself no matter how reasonable he was!

There was a law in ancient times called "adultery can be proven by a woman's mouth," which meant that if a woman could stand up and accuse you of "molestation," the case wouldn't even need a trial; you could be convicted directly.

Because at the time, people believed that if a woman was willing to sacrifice her reputation to testify that someone had 'molested' her, then the incident must be true.

This law was established based on the importance that women placed on chastity at that time. Although it is no longer ancient times, people are still willing to believe in women as a 'vulnerable group'.

At this point, Xu Damao was truly at a loss. He said he hadn't done anything. "Then why were you already dressed?"

And if you really didn't do anything, why would anyone falsely accuse you? If this gets out, what will happen to the girl's reputation?

Besides... doesn't everyone know what kind of reputation you, Xu Damao, have in the steel rolling mill? You're always harassing female colleagues, and you've done plenty of flirtatious things.

However, most of the people you harassed before were older women who could take a joke, so they didn't mind if you said a few flirty things.

But this time it's different. She's a virgin. If you (blank) 698925850 really didn't do anything, then why would she frame you?

So... Just a second ago, he was fantasizing about his female apprentice helping him apply the medicine, then he would sweet-talk her a bit, and in a couple of days, he would take her home to do calisthenics.

The next second, Xu Damao was struck by the cruel reality. This... was a complete injustice!

But he had no one to confide in about his grievances, because the first thing the two workers his female apprentice brought in did was to pin Xu Damao to the ground and beat him up.

After a brutal beating, the security guards arrived. After listening to the female apprentice's tearful account, they tied Xu Damao up without saying a word and then reported it to their superiors.

Upon learning of this incident, Deputy Factory Director Li was also shocked. Someone actually dared to sexually assault a female worker in the factory? This was no small matter in this era.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Deputy Factory Director Li felt that something was not quite right. He knew Xu Damao well; he was a guy who had the desire to steal but not the courage.

How could a guy like that dare to do something indecent to his female apprentice right here in the factory? You might believe he could just make a small move and take advantage of her.

But to take off my clothes and do calisthenics right away? I definitely don't believe that.

So Deputy Factory Director Li also came to the security room and had a good chat with Xu Damao. When Xu Damao saw Deputy Factory Director Li, he was so excited that he thought his 'savior' had arrived.

After a long rant, Xu Damao finally managed to tell his grievances. However, to Xu Damao's dismay, Deputy Factory Director Li did not react at all after hearing the 'truth' he told him.

Instead, he rubbed his fingers together and said to Xu Damao, "Damao, this matter of yours is probably going to be very troublesome. You've been harassing female workers in the factory, and you're definitely going to get charged with hooliganism."

I reckon you'll be in jail for at least ten years, but if you're sensible, I might be able to help you find a way to get a lighter sentence.

Xu Damao was stunned when he heard what Deputy Factory Director Li said. He had been wronged! You've taken so many things from me before, and now you don't even think about helping me get justice?

Seeing Xu Damao's bewildered expression, Deputy Factory Director Li shook his head and continued, "Still don't you understand? If this is really as you say, then it's obvious that someone wants to frame you."

If they're specifically targeting you, why would they leave any clues?

Besides, in situations like this, unless the person involved agrees, if only the two of you were present, it basically means whatever she says goes.

Chapter 248 Two of the Four Great Masters Went In

"So even if I wanted to exonerate you from this charge, it's unlikely. At most, I could only downplay it a little."

But you know, these things all require connections and navigating relationships, you... you know what I mean?"

After hearing what Deputy Factory Director Li said, Xu Damao finally realized, "That's right! My female apprentice's background is really too strange!"

Putting everything else aside, the job of a projectionist is not as simple as it seems. Just carrying the projector to the countryside to show movies is an extremely strenuous physical task.

So projectionists are mostly men, since the projector is quite heavy. This time, not only was a woman assigned as a projectionist apprentice, but she was also such a young woman.

Looking back now, it was indeed a trap, but unfortunately I didn't realize it at the time.

However, now that he understood, it was too late. Xu Damao could only accept his fate and asked Deputy Factory Director Li to contact his parents, hoping they could give him some money so that Deputy Factory Director Li could help him out.

And then... that was it. The incident didn't really cause much of a stir. Because Deputy Factory Director Li had pulled strings, although Xu Damao was eventually arrested, there was no official reprimand or similar incident.

Given this premise, although there were quite a few people working in the steel mill in the courtyard, very few knew why Xu Damao had suddenly disappeared.

Of course, while many people in the courtyard didn't know what had happened to Xu Damao or why he had suddenly disappeared, Ye Jianchuan knew everything clearly.

There was nothing they could do; after all, Uncle San's family had a gossip like Yu Li. Yu Li's younger sister, Yu Haitang, was the most beautiful girl in the steel mill's propaganda department, so she knew everything that happened there.

Since Xu Damao lived in the same courtyard as her sister, Yu Haitang, true to her professional habit as a 'broadcaster,' naturally 'broadcast' this matter when she went to Uncle San's house for a free meal.

Then... the whole Third Uncle's family found out about it, but as I said before, Third Uncle is no longer the same Third Uncle he used to be.

The family members of Uncle San have gradually begun to change, so even though they know this 'juicy tidbit,' no one dares to go around blabbing about it.

After all, their third uncle had taught them that "disaster comes from the mouth," and they had kept Ye Jianchuan's promotion a secret before, and they also remembered very clearly the various kinds of help Ye Jianchuan brought to their family later.

Therefore, the 'habit' of not spreading rumors became the golden rule of the Yan family.

Of course, even if we don't spread the word, it's still very necessary to let Ye Jianchuan know about it.

So Ye Jianchuan learned of this news. After hearing it, Ye Jianchuan was stunned for a moment, because this matter was really not something he had arranged.

At first, all I wanted was for this guy to get hurt and stay home to recover for a while, so that he wouldn't have any chance to cause me trouble in the short term.

Ye Jianchuan had even decided that if this guy still wanted to cause him trouble after he recovered from his injuries, he would find an opportunity to smother him again.

Anyway, hitting people is quite stress-relieving for Ye Jianchuan, it's just that he can't find a suitable target usually. If Xu Damao is willing to be a human punching bag, then Ye Jianchuan would also suggest that he practice properly.

However, it seems that Ye Jianchuan, who wanted to practice his ancient boxing style, will not have the opportunity for the time being.

After all, according to the information we got from Uncle San, Xu Damao should have been arrested. As for why no other news came through?

Thinking back to the Xu couple who visited the courtyard a few days ago, Ye Jianchuan could roughly guess that the couple had probably pulled some strings again and asked someone to help bail out Xu Damao.

Ye Jianchuan's guess was correct. After some "extortion", Deputy Factory Director Li successfully got two more gold bars and five hundred yuan from Xu Fugui and his wife.

What did Deputy Factory Director Li contribute? The answer is basically nothing. He simply had his younger brother simplify the details when transferring Xu Damao to the Municipal Bureau.

Then he went back to the factory and found Xu Damao's "female apprentice". After some coercion and enticement, he got the female apprentice to give up the idea of ​​continuing to cause trouble for Xu Damao.

This meant that although Xu Damao was also charged with hooliganism, his case was only an attempted hooliganism, and the 'victim' was unwilling to continue to appear in public. Therefore, Xu Damao was ultimately 'only' sentenced to three years in prison.

. . . . . .

Regardless, Ye Jianchuan's 'goal' was ultimately achieved. Of the five masters in the courtyard, apart from Bang Geng who had Qin Huairu as a get-out-of-jail-free card, two of the remaining four have already been imprisoned.

... ...

As for Uncle Yi and Uncle Er... Ye Jianchuan had no interest in them anymore, since they were currently locked in a life-or-death struggle.

That's right, these two 'fought' again. The reason is very simple: Uncle Er tripped up Uncle Yi.

The issue of 'custody' of Bang Geng, which I mentioned before, was actually proposed by Uncle Er. His reasoning was quite high-sounding, saying that Bang Geng's biological mother was still alive, and that custody should definitely be with Qin Huairu, and so on.

But to put it bluntly, what Uncle Er really wanted was to make Uncle Yi unhappy. Perhaps for Uncle Er, as long as Uncle Yi was unhappy, he would be happy?

After all, Qin Huairu hasn't made any statement about this matter at all. Judging from her expression, even if Banggeng ends up with Uncle Yi, it won't have any impact on Qin Huairu.

On the contrary, now that Uncle Er has made such a fuss, it has given Bang Geng an opportunity to come to Qin Huairu's house for a free meal from time to time.

Of course, although he had the opportunity to come to Qin Huairu's house for a meal, he couldn't just mooch off her whenever he wanted, because Qin Huairu often picked up her two daughters after get off work and went to see Qin Jingru.

Along with Ye Jianchuan, the group often returned to the courtyard house after finishing their meals, so even if Banggeng wanted to freeload, he couldn't catch up.
