Siheyuan: Why does your brother beat you up every day, Shazhu?

"He's going to tell everyone in the hospital that in He Weiguo's eyes, I, a great man, am nothing!"

"Who will take me seriously from now on? How am I supposed to manage this yard?!"

The old lady was yelled at and dared not say anything.

She knew very well what Yi Zhonghai had done.

Yi Zhonghai's overt and covert scheming and exploitation of Sha Zhu's siblings made her feel not without guilt.

But as an old woman who cannot bear children, has no income and depends on her husband, she has no say in this family.

She could only choose to remain silent and stand on Yi Zhonghai's side.

But He Weiguo's return was like a huge rock thrown into stagnant water.

The child has been smart since he was young, with a sharp eye and a strong temper.

The aunt was in a state of panic and hesitated for a long time. She finally mustered up her courage and pleaded in her voice:

"Old Yi... You know Weiguo. He's always been opinionated and won't tolerate any injustice."

"Now that he's back, and Zhuzi is... I think he might have... probably figured things out a little bit!"

"How about...how about you...you swallow your pride, go to the He family, bow your head, and admit your mistake?"

"Let's get over this? Otherwise, I feel... I feel uneasy and can't sleep well..."

Yi Zhonghai flew into a rage like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, pointing at his wife's nose:

"Bullshit! Let me apologize to him? Bow my head?"

"Did your head get squeezed by the door? I'm the boss of the compound! An eighth-level worker!"

"I, Yi Zhonghai, have lived for most of my life. When have I ever bowed my head to anyone?"

"Who the hell is He Weiguo? He's just a young boy, and he thinks he deserves to be apologized to?"

"dream!"

He was so angry that his whole body was shaking and his voice was changing. It was obvious that he was extremely furious.

The old lady looked at her husband's furious and distorted face, sighed deeply, and swallowed the rest of her words.

She should have expected this outcome. Yi Zhonghai valued face and authority above all else, and asking him to admit his mistakes to a young boy was more painful than killing him.

She could only turn around silently and look at the swaying lights and blurry figures in the He family's yard outside the window. The uneasiness and guilt in her heart were overwhelmed by deeper worries.

Chapter 63 Comparison between Xu Damao and Sha Zhu

The banquet in the courtyard was gradually coming to an end.

The aunts who came to help clean up the dishes, tables and chairs skillfully, and Yan Jiefang and his boys also followed behind Yu Shui to help move stools and sweep the floor.

Soon, only He Weiguo and his table were still fighting in the yard - in fact, the food had already gone cold, and they were mainly drinking and chatting.

In addition to He Weiguo, Zhou Zhenbang and Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng and Chen Wenjian also stayed with him.

An aunt packed up neatly and came over to say goodbye to He Weiguo:

"Weiguo, everything is packed, I'll be leaving now. Thank you so much for your hospitality today!"

He Weiguo stood up with a smile: "Auntie, you are too polite! Take care!"

"Hey! Then you guys drink slowly." After saying that, the aunt left.

At this time, Xu Damao filled his glass again. There was a hint of alcohol on his face, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.

He stood up, holding the wine glass, and said in an extremely serious tone:

"Brother He! I must toast you alone with this cup!"

"To be honest, you've been the one in my heart since I was little!" He gave a thumbs up vigorously:

"Back then, you were picking fights with the kids in the alley, and I thought you were awesome!"

"You disappeared for so many years. I never thought you'd join the army and become a hero. I admire you even more!"

"Really! You are my only idol since I was a child!"

"I'll drink this! Cheers to the hero!"

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, revealing the bottom of the cup.

He Weiguo was also moved by his sincerity and raised his cup with a smile:

"Okay! Damao, Brother He will drink this cup with you!" He also drank it.

Xu Damao continued to work, and filled his own glass again. He turned to Zhou Zhenbang with a respectful attitude:

"Brother Zhou! Although this is my first time meeting you today, you are my brother He's old battalion commander, which means you are my Xu Damao's elder brother!"

"For someone that even Big Brother He admires, I, Xu Damao, have no hesitation and absolutely respect him!"

"I don't know where you are from, but if you need me, Xu Damao, in the future, just let me know!"

"I don't have any other special abilities, but my strengths are my hard work and sweet mouth! Especially since I'm a projectionist, I go to the countryside a lot. If you're interested in any wild game or local specialties, I, Xu Damao, will definitely find a way to get them for you!"

"Brother Zhou, I toast to you!"

After saying that, he raised his glass with both hands, keeping a very low posture.

Zhou Zhenbang admired his cleverness and ability to handle things, and raised his glass to clink with him.

"Okay! Little brother, for your kindness, I'll do it!"

The two of them drank another glass.

Putting down the wine glass, Xu Damao took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket like a magic trick - it was a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes with tin foil!

This move made He Weiguo raise his eyebrows. This guy is really willing to do this!

He opened the cigarettes and respectfully handed one to Zhou Zhenbang and He Weiguo, then distributed some to Chen Wenjian and Yan Jiecheng.

Finally, he took out a match and struck it with a "click", first lighting the ones for Zhou Zhenbang and then for He Weiguo. His movements were smooth and fluid, revealing a sense of diligence and skill.

He Weiguo watched this scene with a smile on his face.

This kid Xu Damao is a natural at socializing and dealing with people at the dinner table!

He speaks smoothly, acts thoughtfully, and knows how to strike just the right balance.

Such people have unlimited future as long as they are given a suitable platform.

Zhou Zhenbang was also amazed, and approached He Weiguo and said with a low laugh:

"Weiguo, there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in your courtyard!"

"This little brother is a talent! He knows how to handle things!"

He Weiguo nodded in agreement and said to Xu Damao:

"Da Mao, to be honest, you really have a way of dealing with people and treating others well!"

"Work hard, you will definitely have a bright future!"

Zhou Zhenbang also agreed with a smile: "That's right! Little brother, your brother He is good at judging people! Work hard, and your future will be bright!"

Sha Zhu, who stood behind He Weiguo as a "goalkeeper", listened to his elder brother and the old battalion commander praising their mortal enemy Xu Damao. He felt a surge of dissatisfaction and jealousy in his heart, and could not help but curl his lips and mutter:

"Humph! Brother Zhou, brother, don't let him fool you with his lackey-like behavior!"

"Xu Damao is just a flatterer. He says one thing to one person and another to another!"

"He's full of nonsense, not a word of truth! He's completely evil! He...is not a good person anyway!"

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, Xu Damao was surprisingly calm this time. He didn't even look at Sha Zhu. He just picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said lightly:

"Silly Zhu, if you feel comfortable saying this about me, I won't bother with you today!"

"I'm happy to drink with Brother He tonight. You can say whatever you want to me, I won't talk back!"

His tone was calm, yet it carried a certainty and composure that surprised Sha Zhu.

He Weiguo and Zhou Zhenbang looked at each other, and saw understanding and a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

The emotional intelligence of these two people is not at the same level at all.

Zhou Zhenbang even shook his head and pointed at Sha Zhu and said to He Weiguo:

"Weiguo, did you see that? Your brother, the name Shazhu is really not called for nothing!"

"This kid...tsk, he still has a long way to go! As the eldest brother, you have a long way to go!"

He Weiguo sighed and agreed deeply: "Who said it wasn't true?"

Sha Zhu was completely stunned by Zhou Zhenbang's blunt comments and seeing his elder brother sigh!

This is completely different from what he thought!

Doesn’t the uncle always say that we should be gentlemen and be open and honest?

Big Brother and Big Brother Zhou should despise Xu Damao's despicable behavior!

Why is it that you are praising me?

He argued anxiously:

"Brother! Brother Zhou! Everything I said is true! Xu Damao is really not a good person! He..."

"Zhuzi!" He Weiguo turned his head abruptly, his tone carrying an unprecedented seriousness and earnestness:

"If you could tell the difference between good and evil, why would you end up like this confused person now?"

He paused, not giving Sha Zhu a chance to interrupt, and continued:

"You're here blabbering about Xu Damao, and look at him, has he refuted you at all?"

"This is called bearing! This is called composure!"

He Weiguo leaned forward slightly, his eyes seeming to see through Sha Zhu:

"Also, do you think I can't guess? Considering your relationship with Xu Damao, your sworn enemy, would you take the initiative to invite him to dinner today?"

"I can tell from my ass that this kid must have helped you a lot!"

"Did you go out to borrow money this morning, but no one wanted to lend you any, and finally Xu Damao lent it to you? Huh?"
