Chapter 435 He is just jealous of me
"Look at this main room. I specially hired someone to renovate it. The furniture in this room were all carefully selected by me. They are very exquisite." As he said this, he pushed open the door of the main room. Everyone looked inside. The carved tables and chairs, and the exquisite ornaments did indeed exude a sense of luxury.
The third aunt couldn't help but admire: "Oh, Damao, I didn't expect you to do such a good job. It must have cost a lot of money." Xu Damao was even more proud when he heard it, and said with a smile: "No, but as long as it's comfortable to live in, it's worth spending some money."
Yan Bugui was stroking his chin, thinking secretly in his heart, and said: "Da Mao, you are really capable. What business did you do to make so much money? You must tell us so that we can learn from you."
Xu Damao laughed and said, "Oh, I was just lucky and caught a good opportunity. It's not worth mentioning."
Sha Zhu also came along, but he had a gloomy face all the way, and he still didn't quite believe that Xu Damao's money was clean. After entering the yard, he looked around, his eyes like a scanner, trying to find some flaws.
At this time, Xu Damao walked up to Sha Zhu and said provocatively, "Sha Zhu, what do you think? My courtyard is nice, isn't it? It's not like some people who would just make blind guesses and gossip."
Sha Zhu snorted coldly and replied, "Huh, it looks fine now, but who knows what kind of tricks are hidden behind it. Let's wait and see." The two of them had a disagreement and the atmosphere became a little tense again. Seeing this, the neighbors around them hurried to smooth things over and advised them not to have unpleasantness on such a nice day. This made the two of them stop arguing temporarily, and everyone continued to visit the courtyard, but the faint smell of gunpowder never dissipated completely.
Yan Bugui was in Xu Damao's new yard, looking up at the beams and walls around him, muttering about the structure of the house from time to time. As he was walking, there was a sudden "clang" and a loose brick fell from above his head, hitting him squarely on the head. Yan Bugui screamed "Ouch", squatted on the ground with his hands covering his head, blood seeping out from between his fingers.
Everyone was shocked by the sudden accident, and Xu Damao's face turned pale. He hurried over and said anxiously: "Uncle Yan, how are you? I'll take you to the hospital right now." When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor treated Yan Bugui's wound, sewed several stitches, prescribed some medicine, and told him to rest well and come for regular check-ups.
Yan Bugui was lying on the bed, his eyes rolling around, and he began to make calculations in his mind. When Xu Damao came to ask about his condition, Yan Bugui frowned and said, "Damo, look at what happened. My head was hit so hard that I can't go to work for a while. I have to spend money to buy medicine to recover from the injury. What if I get sick later? You didn't take good safety measures in your yard, so you have to give me some compensation."
Xu Damao felt a little unhappy when he heard this, but he felt that it was something that happened in his own yard after all, so it was not easy to refuse directly, so he said: "Uncle Yan, please tell me the number. We are neighbors, so it can't be too outrageous."
Yan Bugui rolled his eyes, held up five fingers, and said, "Da Mao, look at my injury. Without 500 yuan, I'm afraid I can't get through this." Upon hearing this, Xu Damao widened his eyes and said loudly, "Uncle Yan, 500 yuan is too much. I spent a lot of money to buy the yard, and I don't have that much money."
The two started arguing, their voices getting louder and louder, attracting the attention of other patients and their families in the hospital. Finally, under the persuasion of everyone, Xu Damao reluctantly took out 300 yuan and gave it to Yan Bugui. Although Yan Bugui wanted to fight for more, seeing Xu Damao's firm attitude, he had to accept the money, but he still grumbled that he was at a disadvantage.
After returning home from the hospital, Xu Damao became more and more angry, thinking that Yan Bugui was deliberately blackmailing him. As for Yan Bugui, although he got the money, he was still somewhat dissatisfied with Xu Damao, thinking that he was not happy with the money. This matter became a knot between the two of them, making the already complicated relationship between neighbors even more delicate.
After this incident, Xu Damao complained to everyone in the yard about Yan Bugui's "scheming", saying that he was deliberately trying to make a fortune. Yan Bugui, on the other hand, did not say anything good about Xu Damao in front of everyone, saying that his yard was not safe and he was unwilling to take responsibility when something happened.
One day, Xu Damao was working in the factory and chatting with a few co-workers. One of them joked, "Da Mao, I heard that your courtyard is not peaceful. First, Sha Zhu suspected that the money was not legitimate, and now Yan Bugui was injured. You have to pay a lot of money, right?" Xu Damao's face turned pale and red when he heard it. He said angrily, "Humph, Yan Bugui is an old fox who deliberately blackmailed me. As for Sha Zhu, he is just jealous of me and talks nonsense all day long."
On the other hand, Yan Bugui was recovering at home, feeling uneasy. He was worried that Xu Damao would gossip outside and ruin his reputation. So he told his family to be careful when speaking and doing things in the yard, so as not to give people a chance to talk about him.
After a few days, Yan Bugui's injury was almost healed and he was able to get out of bed and walk. He thought he couldn't just let it go and had to find a way to recover his losses. So he began to spread the news in the yard, saying that Xu Damao's courtyard had bad feng shui, which was why he got hurt, and that living there in the future would probably bring more disasters.
When Xu Damao heard this, he was furious and rushed to Yan Bugui's house. He pointed at Yan Bugui's nose and said, "You old man, how can you be so vicious? My yard is fine, but you said these bad things behind my back. I will settle the score with you!" Yan Bugui was not to be outdone and retorted, "I am telling the truth. It's your fault that you didn't fix the yard. It almost cost me my life."
The two quarreled again, and the neighbors in the yard rushed to mediate. This quarrel intensified the conflict between them and even affected the harmonious atmosphere of the whole yard. Everyone began to worry whether the feud between the two would bring more trouble to the yard.
However, while everyone was having a headache about their affairs, Sha Zhu was watching silently from the side. He thought, these two people are really a pair of enemies, but this is not a solution, maybe he can mediate, after all, they have been neighbors for many years, they can't keep quarreling like this. But he was a little hesitant, not knowing how to intervene in this matter, and the conflict between him and Xu Damao has not been resolved yet.
