After figuring this out, Yi Zhonghai could only bite the bullet and continue speaking:

"Sister-in-law Jia has a straightforward personality and sometimes speaks a little harshly. As a young person, you should at least be a little understanding."

"Besides, when Dongxu was alive, he took good care of you, right?"

"I……"

As Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Xu Damao's expression froze:

As people of the same age in the courtyard, Jia Dongxu actually got along better with Sha Zhu when he was alive.

But after all, the person is dead now. Even with Xu Damao's personality, he is not willing to discuss the right and wrong of a personal matter.

"In this case, for Dongxu's sake, I can not go to the police station."

After a pause, before Yi Zhonghai could speak, Xu Damao quickly added:

"But, in addition to compensating for the price of the hen, the Jia family must also compensate me another 5 yuan."

After being so angry, how could he just accept the money for a hen? Xu Damao is not the kind of person who would do charity.

"This is impossible!"

As soon as Xu Damao finished speaking, Jia Zhang shouted without any surprise:

"Five dollars, why don't you just rob it?"

"Da Mao, this is indeed a bit..."

"Uncle, please stop talking."

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was about to speak, Xu Damao interrupted him directly:

"If you don't want to, then we'll go find the comrades at the police station. They will definitely not ask the Jia family to pay more money."

"okay."

Having already been attacked in the face, Yi Zhonghai had to endure it even if he had ten thousand kinds of dissatisfaction:

"Let's do this as you say."

After finishing his words, before Jia Zhang could speak, Yi Zhonghai had already taken out two big unity cards from his pocket:

"Twenty dollars, that's all for today."

If you calculate carefully, fifteen yuan is definitely a bit expensive to buy a hen, but Yi Zhonghai obviously doesn't want to waste too much time on this matter, so he acted so decisively.

"Okay, you are so generous."

Taking the two big black tens and putting one of them into Cao Shuang's hand, Xu Damao also gave him a thumbs up:

"If Lao Jia were alive, he would definitely be grateful to have such a good brother like you."

After finishing his words, Xu Damao looked at Cao Shuang again:

"Brother, this is a thank you fee for you, don't be polite to me."

A hen is nothing to Xu Damao.

But being able to make Yi Zhonghai lose face was an unprecedented experience for him.

If Cao Shuang hadn't helped him today, Xu Damao estimated that he would have suffered another loss.

After all, he has experienced the same thing many times in this yard since he was a child.

"Brother Damao is generous."

Imitating Xu Damao's previous gesture of giving a thumbs up, Cao Shuang was not polite:

"I have some pheasants sent by some villagers. I'll take care of them later and we'll have a good meal together."

"drink wine?"

As soon as Cao Shuang finished speaking, Yan Bugui came over with a smile on his face:

"Da Mao, Xiao Shuang, I have a few bottles of good wine at home, why don't we three..."

"We can have dinner, but I'll have to trouble Auntie San again."

Cao Shuang never had any hope of having the good wine that Yan Bugui talked about.

In comparison, it would be better to ask the three aunts to help deal with the pheasant.

"Sure, no problem!"

As soon as Cao Shuang finished speaking, Yan Bugui bared his teeth and smiled widely:

"Ah Di, go call your mother over and help Xiao Shuang cook."

"understood."

Hearing Yan Bugui's words, Yan Jiedi also ran away quickly.

Helping Cao Shuang with his work was something that everyone in the Yan family was looking forward to.

For example, this time when they were processing the pheasant, in addition to the head of the family, Yan Bugui, who could get a meal, the other people in the family could also eat the leftovers.

In addition, the chicken blood and some internal organs when processing pheasants can also make them a big meal:

With Cao Shuang's personality, he wouldn't care about such things.

"Xiao Shuang, I'll go back and explain. I'll ask Jie Cheng to come to your house to get the pheasant later."

Perhaps because he did not have much confidence in Yan Jiedi's ability to convey messages, Yan Bugui left a word and ran back with her.

"Brother, you are smart."

Looking at the Yan family father and daughter who left quickly, Xu Damao on the side gave Cao Shuang a thumbs up:

"You won over the Third Master with a little food. Why didn't I think of such a smart move?"

Although he was competing with Jia Zhang today, Xu Damao saw clearly that when Cao Shuang was about to suffer a loss, Yan Bugui took the initiative to help him several times.

Recalling the scene where he suffered a loss at the hands of Sha Zhu, Xu Damao suddenly realized something:

Isn’t it because I don’t have any other helpers?

"Brother Damao just knows how to joke."

I don't know what Xu Damao was thinking of, Cao Shuang just smiled widely:

"Compared to you, I'm still far behind."

After finishing his words, Xu Damao looked around again:

"I have decided that I will also win over one of the masters in this courtyard."

After a pause, Xu Damao rubbed his chin with his hand:

"The first uncle and Shazhu are in the same boat, and the third uncle has been won over by you, so I will go find the second uncle."

"Brother, you go back first. I'm going to find the second uncle."

……

Looking at Xu Damao's back as he quickly left after finishing his words, Cao Shuang's mouth twitched slightly:

Sometimes, I really don’t know whether Xu Damao is smart or stupid.

He is stupid, but he thought of winning over the old man to be his helper.

But if you say he is smart, he chose the worst Liu Haizhong.

You know, among the three uncles in the yard, Liu Haizhong is the worst in all aspects:

Not only is he a government official, he also has no brains or moral bottom line.

Such a person, not to mention that Xu Damao would never be able to win him over successfully, even if he did, he would only become a burden in the end.

Of course, Cao Shuang would never say such a thing:

Again, his relationship with Xu Damao could only be that of drinking buddies. Anything further would seem a bit impolite.

"Yi Zhonghai, what is your relationship with Zhang Cuihua?"

When Cao Shuang returned home and waited for Yan Jiecheng to come and get the pheasant, the atmosphere in Yi Zhonghai's house was very solemn.

Her eyes fell on Yi Zhonghai, and the aunt showed anger for the first time in the house.

"what happened?"

Hearing what the aunt said, Yi Zhonghai was stunned at first, then scratched his head:

"What are you thinking about?"

"Am I just imagining things?"

Her eyes fell on Yi Zhonghai, and the aunt sneered:

"If it doesn't matter, why would you take the initiative to pay for them?"

"Sister-in-law Jia's husband and son died. As the eldest master in the courtyard, it is my duty to take care of them a little."

After finishing his words, Yi Zhonghai added:

"Besides, don't you know what my relationship was like when Lao Jia was alive?"

"If he doesn't even take care of his widow, how can I face him when I go down?"

"Do you still have the nerve to meet Lao Jia?"

Yi Zhonghai spoke seriously, but the aunt did not fall for his trick:

"If I remember correctly, Jia Dongxu does look a bit like you, Yi Zhonghai, you shouldn't..."

'Snapped! '

Before the lady could finish her words, Yi Zhonghai had already slapped her in the face:

"You dare to say such things, are you crazy?"

"Is there anything I'm afraid to say?"

If it were an ordinary day, the aunt would definitely not speak to Yi Zhonghai like this.

But when I think about my experiences during this period, the rumors I have heard, and the "eye contact" between Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang that I saw today.

The aunt felt that the grievance in her heart burst out in an instant:
