Jia Dong Xu was also panicked at this time. He and Sha Zhu had teamed up to ambush Xu Da Mao, thinking they wouldn't be discovered, but they didn't expect to be seen by the police officer, Li Da Sheng. Sha Zhu, that dog, ran away quickly, but he didn't escape.
“Jia Dong Xu, it was you and Sha Zhu who ambushed me.” Xu Da Mao's face was full of anger.
Xu Da Mao wasn't stupid. He knew that if Li Da Sheng hadn't appeared, Jia Dong Xu and Sha Zhu wouldn't have just beaten him up.
At this time, Xu Da Mao was more filled with anger.
Jia Dong Xu in front of him, and Sha Zhu who had run away, Xu Da Mao wouldn't let them go.
“It was Sha Zhu who beat Xu Da Mao, it has nothing to do with me…” Jia Dong Xu lied with a straight face, pushing the blame onto Sha Zhu.
Xu Da Mao would be a fool to believe Jia Dong Xu's nonsense.
Before, there were clearly two people beating him. Although Xu Da Mao had been put in a sack, he could still tell how many people were beating him.
Being caught on the spot by the police officer, things had become a bit serious. Jia Dong Xu wanted to stay out of it and push everything onto Sha Zhu. He was just thinking too much.
Li Da Sheng didn't bother arguing with Jia Dong Xu.
Not long ago, Li Da Sheng had seen it with his own eyes, Jia Dong Xu had also beaten Xu Da Mao, and he was even more enthusiastic than Sha Zhu.
Looking at Xu Da Mao's current state, it was clear he was badly injured. Sha Zhu and Jia Dong Xu had been pretty ruthless.
“Xu Da Mao, can you walk?” Li Da Sheng asked.
“I can walk. Officer Li, I think we should send Jia Dong Xu to the police station first!” Xu Da Mao said.
Upon hearing Xu Da Mao's words, Jia Dong Xu became even more panicked. Once he was sent to the police station, things would become complicated.
However, Xu Da Mao didn't intend to let Jia Dong Xu off.
This time, he had to punish Jia Dong Xu severely, along with that Sha Zhu.
To Jia Dong Xu's relief, Li Da Sheng didn't listen to Xu Da Mao, but instead took Jia Dong Xu to the No. 95 courtyard first.
Because sending someone to the police station just for fighting was a bit excessive.
There were many fights, if everyone was sent to the police station?
Therefore, let the No. 95 courtyard handle it internally first, if necessary, they could involve the neighborhood committee.
However, Jia Dong Xu's attempt to shift the blame to Sha Zhu wouldn't work because Li Da Sheng had seen with his own eyes that both Jia Dong Xu and Sha Zhu had beaten Xu Da Mao.
Putting him in a sack, and then punching and kicking him, looking at the injuries on Xu Da Mao's body, the nature of the incident was very bad.
Xu Da Mao was disappointed that they couldn't send Jia Dong Xu directly to the police station, and he was a little dissatisfied with Li Da Sheng.
Yes, Li Da Sheng had helped Xu Da Mao. If Li Da Sheng hadn't appeared in time, Xu Da Mao would have definitely been much worse off than he was now.
But that's one thing, this is another.
Just now, Xu Da Mao had thanked Li Da Sheng.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with Li Da Sheng in his heart, Xu Da Mao didn't say anything more.
No. 95 courtyard!
Li Da Sheng escorted Jia Dong Xu into the courtyard. Xu Da Mao followed behind, and everyone in the courtyard was confused.
“Officer Li, what's going on?” Third Aunt asked first.
There were three elders in the courtyard, First Elder was working overtime at the factory, Third Elder was fishing, and Second Elder was at home reading newspapers.
When Liu Guang Qi ran back home and told them, Liu Hai Zhong put down his newspaper and came out. Soon, he also arrived at the central courtyard.
Li Da Sheng had already escorted Jia Dong Xu to the central courtyard.
Sha Zhu was hiding in his house, but at this time, he also came out with a stiff neck.
Jia Zhang Shi didn't dare to make a scene, and Qin Huairu asked Li Da Sheng to release Jia Dong Xu first. She thought there might be some misunderstanding.
When Liu Hai Zhong arrived, he also asked Li Da Sheng.
“Uncle Liu, I saw Sha Zhu and Jia Dong Xu putting a sack over Xu Da Mao's head and then punching and kicking him. Look at Xu Da Mao's injuries, they were definitely inflicted by Sha Zhu and Jia Dong Xu.” Li Da Sheng told the truth.
Upon hearing what Li Da Sheng said, Liu Hai Zhong's expression also became serious.
Jia Zhang Shi immediately said that Li Da Sheng was slandering Jia Dong Xu.
She said that Sha Zhu beating Xu Da Mao was fine, but her Dong Xu wouldn't do such a thing.
Qin Huairu thought it was a misunderstanding.
Actually, both Jia Zhang Shi and Qin Huairu knew in their hearts that Jia Dong Xu must have really beaten Xu Da Mao.
Fighting wasn't a big deal, but putting someone in a sack and then beating them up wasn't just 'playing around' anymore.
The key was that it was seen by the police officer.
As a police officer, Li Da Sheng had to live up to his uniform. Therefore, he had to take responsibility for what happened.
Xu Fu Gui and his wife were also in the courtyard, seeing Xu Da Mao's injuries, they felt xīn téng (feeling heartache) as well.
As for Sha Zhu and Jia Dong Xu, who beat up Xu Da Mao, they obviously couldn't be let off lightly.
“Officer Li, you go about your business. We'll handle this within the courtyard.” Old Lady said.
If it wasn't related to Sha Zhu, Old Lady wouldn't have spoken.
“Alright!” After thinking for a moment, Li Da Sheng nodded.
When Li Da Sheng left, many people in the courtyard looked at Liu Hai Zhong.
First Elder and Third Elder were not there, so Second Elder was naturally in charge of handling this.
“Sha Zhu, Dong Xu, why did you beat Xu Da Mao?” Liu Hai Zhong's expression turned serious as he asked Sha Zhu and Jia Dong Xu.
“Xu Da Mao peeped at Sister Qin taking a bath and spread rumors about her.” Jia Dong Xu didn't speak, Sha Zhu answered.
Qin Huairu glared at Sha Zhu.
And Jia Dong Xu's face turned green.
As for Jia Zhang Shi, she really wanted to tear Sha Zhu's mouth apart.
“You're lying! I didn't peep at Qin Huairu taking a bath, and I didn't spread rumors.” Xu Da Mao naturally denied it.
And Xu Fu Gui and his wife didn't agree with what Sha Zhu said, they started arguing with him.
Sha Zhu and Jia Dong Xu couldn't provide concrete evidence to prove that Xu Da Mao peeped at Qin Huairu taking a bath or spread rumors about her.
But the fact was that Sha Zhu and Jia Dong Xu had teamed up to ambush Xu Da Mao.
Old Lady frowned. Although she wanted to help Sha Zhu, she couldn't speak for a moment.
“They must be punished.” Liu Hai Zhong said solemnly.
They didn't need to wait for Yi Zhong Hai and Yan Bu Gui anymore.
After all, things were clear.
Xu Da Mao was the victim, so they just needed to punish Sha Zhu and Jia Dong Xu.
If they were to let it slide, Xu Fu Gui and his wife wouldn't agree.
Besides, Liu Hai Zhong also favored Xu Da Mao in his heart.
After all, Sha Zhu was Yi Zhong Hai's 'paw', and Jia Dong Xu was Yi Zhong Hai's apprentice.
By severely punishing Sha Zhu and Jia Dong Xu, they could also strike at Yi Zhong Hai.
“I think this is how it should be. Sha Zhu and Jia Dong Xu, each of you will pay 10 yuan to Da Mao, apologize to him, seek his forgiveness, and also sweep the courtyard for 10 days.” After some thought, Liu Hai Zhong said to Sha Zhu and Jia Dong Xu.
Xu Da Mao was satisfied with Liu Hai Zhong's punishment for Sha Zhu and Jia Dong Xu.
Xu Fu Gui and his wife didn't have any objections either.
But Sha Zhu and Jia Dong Xu both disagreed.
Jia Zhang Shi and Qin Huairu also opposed it.
“This matter, I think we should wait for Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan to come back and discuss it.” Old Lady said to Liu Hai Zhong.
Liu Hai Zhong opposed it, but he wasn't forceful.
When Old Lady insisted on waiting for Yi Zhong Hai and Yan Bu Gui to come back before discussing it, Liu Hai Zhong reluctantly agreed.
In this courtyard, Old Lady's position was too high.
Although Liu Hai Zhong was the Second Elder, he didn't dare to provoke Old Lady.
Actually, Old Lady's high status in the courtyard couldn't be separated from Yi Zhong Hai.
Yi Zhong Hai had always emphasized respecting the elderly and loving children, and Old Lady was the oldest in terms of age and seniority in the courtyard.
Therefore, Old Lady became the 'ancestor' of the courtyard.
Of course, everyone was not a fool.
If Old Lady was just an ordinary old lady, even if Yi Zhong Hai praised her so much, she wouldn't have her current status.
The truth was that Old Lady had some clout.
The neighborhood committee took good care of Old Lady.
And Old Lady also had some connections.
Even the director of the steel mill would probably give Old Lady some face!
