1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Chapter 321 Succeed

A question flashed through his mind, but Yi Zhonghai's next words left him no time to think about it.

"Why, you still don't want to? You've forgotten what you just said!"

He stammered, "Uncle, it's not that I don't want to compensate Qin Huairu, it's just that I don't have that much money. You know, my salary is in the hands of my parents now. I really can't afford that much money."

Xu Damao thought that he was not stupid. After this incident, he and Qin Huairu would have nothing to do with each other. He hadn't gained any substantial advantage just now, and she wanted to extort a thousand yuan from him. How could it be possible?

Yi Zhonghai frowned, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes: "Humph, Xu Damao, don't try to bargain with me. Qin Huairu is an orphan and a widow, so pitiful, a thousand yuan is a bargain for you."

Xu Damao stamped his feet anxiously, "Uncle, I really don't have that much money! I only make about 30 yuan a month, and I need to save up for three years to earn this 1,000 yuan! I only have 200 yuan in my hand right now, and I'll give it all to you now!"

As he said that, he hurriedly took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Yi Zhonghai, "Uncle, you have seen my sincerity. It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but I really don't have it! Can you let me go out and borrow some? It's no problem if I don't have two hundred more."

Yi Zhonghai looked at the money Xu Damao handed over, and his expression eased a little, but he was still not satisfied.

"Since you've been so cooperative, I'll give you 800 yuan, not a cent less. Otherwise, I'll go talk to the factory manager directly."

The Jia family owed Sha Zhu more than 500 yuan, and Yi Zhonghai's bottom line was 600 yuan.

Xu Damao almost jumped up when he heard this. "Eight hundred yuan? Uncle, you are too cruel! Where can I get so much money? You are trying to kill me!"

Yi Zhonghai was unmoved, "Then I can't control it. You can figure out the rest by yourself. If you don't agree today, this matter will not end."

Xu Damao gritted his teeth and cursed Yi Zhonghai in his heart for being so cruel.

But he had the leverage over him in Yi Zhonghai's hands, and there was nothing he could do.

After weighing the pros and cons, he could only add the money little by little. "Five hundred yuan, not a penny more! I didn't do anything to Qin Huairu. If you want to report to the police, go ahead. I'm not afraid." He stared at Qin Huairu with wide eyes and said.

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai glanced at Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu was dumbfounded at this moment and had no idea how to respond. She was just waiting for Yi Zhonghai to make a decision for her.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Damao's expression and knew that he had almost reached his bottom line, so he continued to argue with him.

"Six hundred yuan! This is the final bottom line. If you don't agree, I will convene a meeting of the entire institute now!" Yi Zhonghai said firmly.

Threat, Yi Zhonghai threatened Xu Damao so blatantly.

Xu Damao was so angry when he was forced to this point.

He thought of the passionate relationship between him and Lou Xiao'e these days, and couldn't help but curse himself for being so useless.

He didn't cherish a good girl, but instead wanted to stick to a widow. Now, he didn't get any benefits and got into trouble.

In his heart, he cursed Yi Zhonghai madly, "You old fox, for not giving him a way to live."

Isn't this clear extortion?

Is it easy for him to earn some money through hard work?

He was actually asked to give 600 yuan to that bitch Qin Huairu. How fucking unlucky!

If it really doesn't work, he and Qin Huairu will fight to the death.

Yi Zhonghai seemed to see through Xu Damao's thoughts and continued, "Xu Damao, don't think of going to extremes. After all, you are a young man and have never been married. Qin Huairu will at most lose her job, but what about you? Not only will you lose your job, but you will also lose your reputation. You'd better think clearly about what is the best way to do it!"

After hearing this, Xu Damao felt a rush of blood to his forehead. He clenched his teeth so tightly that his silver teeth shattered to the ground, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

"Yi Zhonghai, don't push me too far! You are pushing me into a dead end!"

"Xu Damao, I'm doing this for your own good. You know what the consequences will be if the news of what you just did spreads. As long as you give the money to Qin Huairu, this matter will end here, and everyone will be safe from now on."

Yi Zhonghai spoke earnestly, but his tone revealed a firmness that could not be refused.

The muscles on Xu Damao's face twitched slightly, his eyes darkened, and he said fiercely: "Okay, Yi Zhonghai, you are so cruel! I admit defeat today!"

"Six hundred is six hundred, Qin Huairu, I never thought I would fall for you, so consider this money as a lesson learned. From now on, stay away from me, it's really bad luck!"

Faced with Xu Damao's angry words, Qin Huairu turned her back guiltily, wiping her tears and saying nothing.

"Okay Xu Damao, it's settled. Give me the remaining 400 yuan tomorrow night, and we'll forget about it!"

At this point, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu were victorious, and although Xu Damao was unwilling, he had no choice but to endure it.

After Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu left, Xu Damao slammed the door shut. His face turned red with anger, he was breathing heavily, and he was filled with indignation.

He paced back and forth in the room anxiously, and every step seemed to vent his unwillingness.

"It's a full 600 yuan! It's not a small amount. How can I be willing to give it to that widow Qin Huairu so easily?" Xu Damao muttered to himself as he walked.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he thought of Lou Xiao'e.

He recalled the few times he had interacted with Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e behaved very generously and seemed quite satisfied with him.

"As long as I spend some time to coax her and find a reason, I don't believe she won't lend me money."

Thinking of Lou Xiao'e's innocent appearance, Xu Damao suddenly had an idea and a sly smile appeared on his face.

"What a bummer! Xu Damao's fighting power was too weak today. How could he be captured so easily by Yi Zhonghai?"

Li Weiguo used his consciousness to watch the scene that just happened from beginning to end.

He was so anxious in the room that he wished he could go up and help Xu Damao himself.

He really didn't expect that Xu Damao would compromise so easily.

Based on his understanding of Xu Damao, he felt that this man was quite smart and difficult to deal with. He should have been able to see that Yi Zhonghai was plotting against him. So how come he agreed to Yi Zhonghai's request so easily?

Didn't he see that Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu were in collusion?

After this incident, Li Weiguo couldn't help but have a better understanding of Yi Zhonghai.

He also had to say that Yi Zhonghai was really insidious. He had already plotted against Xu Damao completely.

Step by step, Xu Damao was pushed into a desperate situation, forcing him to compromise.

It’s no wonder that Yi Zhonghai has been the boss in the courtyard for so many years. He is quite capable.

Li Weiguo saw Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu leaving Xu Damao's house with smug looks on their faces, and he felt inexplicably unhappy.

He wondered whether he should wait until Xu Damao gave the remaining money to Yi Zhonghai before reminding Xu Damao.

Let Xu Damao hate Yi Zhonghai to the core, and then he will have another good show to watch.
