Chapter 328 Status Change

Chapter 328 Status Change
After returning to the city, Li Kailang once again asked Zhang Ya to read more criminal law books, and then went back to the yard with Cui Gang.

In the past month and a half, the courtyard has undergone some subtle but significant changes.

Xu Damao pushed his bicycle and appeared at the gate of the yard. He was covered in dust and his face was full of fatigue.

"Hey, Li Kailang!"

"Xu Damao, you're back. What have you been doing recently? I haven't seen you for a few days."

Xu Damao smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, don't mention it. Isn't it almost autumn harvest time?"

"In order to boost the morale of the villagers, the factory sent me to show them movies. I went around different villages every day. I was exhausted and smelled bad."

As he spoke, he pointed to the dust on his body and the strange smell on his clothes. It was the smell of not having taken a shower or washed clothes for several days.

"Thanks for your hard work." Li Kailang nodded and understood the reason.

No wonder Xu Damao looked so dusty and smelled strange.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go back to sleep. I can't take it anymore from working day and night."

As he said that, Xu Damao hurriedly pushed his bicycle into the yard.

Li Kailang and Cui Gang followed closely behind. They had gone out early in the morning and to be honest, they were a little tired.

"Ok?"

"Get out of the way!" Sha Zhu stared at Xu Damao with dissatisfaction.

Xu Damao responded, not to be outdone: "Hey, Shazhu, why should I move out of the way? Can't you move out of the way? Can't you see my bike?"

"Hey, Xu Damao, are you itching for a beating? Do you deserve a beating?" Sha Zhu's temper flared up all of a sudden, and his voice became louder and louder.

Xu Damao was not afraid at all, and challenged him: "Hey, you idiot, what's the matter? You want to hit me, right? I'm not afraid of you!"

The two of them confronted each other at the Chuihua Gate, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Oh, there's something fun to watch." People from the back house and the front yard saw the two people arguing and came over to join in the fun.

Li Kailang and Cui Gang also watched with great interest.

Sha Zhu: "Xu Damao, don't think you can confront me just because you have practiced a few tricks. If you piss me off, I will beat you to death!"

Xu Damao was not afraid at all, and retorted: "Silly Zhu, stop threatening me. You can't stand hitting me, but I want to see if you can do it."

The two of them just stood there facing each other, neither of them willing to give in.

When the surrounding residents saw this scene, they gathered around and wanted to watch this "good show".

"Xu Damao is really amazing. He is not afraid of Shazhu." A neighbor whispered.

"What are you afraid of? Didn't you see that the last time they fought, Shazhu was sent to the hospital?" another neighbor said.

"This Xu Damao is no longer the easy-to-bully person he used to be."

"Yes, this Xu Damao is different now. He is no longer the Xu Damao who was easy to bully. Even Sha Zhu doesn't dare to do anything to him."

Everyone was talking about it, and they couldn't help but admire Xu Damao for daring to confront Sha Zhu.

As Sha Zhu listened to the discussions of the people around him, his face became increasingly gloomy. He glared at Xu Damao as if he wanted to eat him alive.

However, Xu Damao listened to the praises from the people around him with great joy, and a smug smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the past month and a half, the changes are not limited to Cui Gang, even Xu Damao has quietly undergone a significant transformation.

Ever since Li Kailang started teaching Cui Gang self-defense, Xu Damao found out soon after and came over to learn secretly, and Li Kailang was too lazy to bother with it.

But after Xu Damao went back and practiced these few moves that he had secretly learned for ten days or half a month, he went to seek revenge on Sha Zhu.

Although he was beaten up by Sha Zhu several times, Sha Zhu was not much better off.

At first, Sha Zhu was only slightly injured, but after Xu Damao's repeated revenge, his moves became more and more skillful, and his attacks became more and more ruthless.

Finally, more than ten days ago, Xu Damao and Sha Zhu got into a fight. Sha Zhu could no longer tolerate Xu Damao's repeated provocations, and his attacks were extremely heavy.

Seeing that Sha Zhu was merciless, Xu Damao also tried to kill him, using every move he made to be despicable.

After more than a month of practice and several beatings, Xu Damao is no longer a weakling, and it is not easy for Sha Zhu to beat him up again.

This time, Xu Damao successfully beat Sha Zhu into the hospital, and his injuries were serious, to the point where he needed someone to take care of him.

Of course, in the end Xu Damao wasn’t in much better condition and also stayed in the hospital for a few days.

This success allowed Xu Damao to finally win against Sha Zhu. It was the first time in more than ten years that he defeated Sha Zhu. How could he not be happy!
This victory caused Sha Zhu to feel a dull pain in his little brother every time he saw Xu Damao.

At the same time, with this style of fighting that hurts the enemy by a thousand and hurts one's own eight hundred, Sha Zhu no longer wants to fight with Xu Damao.

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to bother with you!" Sha Zhu snorted coldly. Sha Zhu said this coldly and turned away.

"Hey, Shazhu, don't go, hit me!" Xu Damao shouted triumphantly when he saw Shazhu retreating.

Seeing this, Li Kailang reminded Xu Damao: "Don't go too far, be careful that Sha Zhu will really fight you to death and make you lie down for a few days."

After hearing Li Kailang's words, Xu Damao restrained himself a little, but he still couldn't hide his inner joy.
Relying on the few moves he learned secretly and his insidious and vulgar fighting style, Xu Damao was able to compete with Sha Zhu in the yard for a while.

Xu Damao is so powerful, and with Cui Gang taught by Li Kailang himself, wouldn’t he be even more powerful?

Thanks to this, the Cui family's status in the courtyard rose sharply, and no one dared to provoke the Cui family easily, especially Cui Gang.

Fortunately, Cui Gang is still young now, but when he grows up in a few years, he will definitely be stronger than Xu Damao, and maybe even stronger than Sha Zhu.

Thinking of this, the younger generations in the family, at the request of their parents, went to find Li Kailang to become his apprentice. If they failed, they would learn secretly.

Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu and other young people in the courtyard would go to watch Cui Gang practice self-defense whenever they had time, and some even secretly learned from him.

But it was too late. They had only been studying for a few days when Cui Gang was asked by Li Kailang to concentrate on reading the criminal law book.

When it comes to reading the criminal law book, these youngsters won’t look for Cui Gang. They didn’t like studying much at school, so how could they read during the holidays?

Xu Damao said to Li Kailang gratefully: "Li Kailang, thank you so much. If you hadn't taught me, how could I have defeated Sha Zhu?"

Li Kailang smiled and waved his hands: "Don't say that, this is all the result of your own hard work. I didn't teach you anything substantial."

"By the way, aren't you going back to bed? Go to bed now."

Xu Damao nodded and pushed his bicycle home.

Li Kailang didn't dare to take credit for Xu Damao's work. This was all the result of Xu Damao's own efforts.

The most important thing is Xu Damao's character of being able to watch the fun and not mind getting involved. If he does something bad, it will be troublesome if he is implicated.

There are no benefits, just a lot of troubles, and he is the one who is blamed.

"Xiao Gang, you should go back and rest too."

"Yeah." Cui Gang pushed the bicycle to the door of Li Kailang's house and went back to rest.

Middle Court.

Qin Huairu was drying clothes in the yard. Seeing Sha Zhu approaching with a gloomy face, she asked with concern:
"Silly Zhu, what's wrong with you? Why are you unhappy? Who pissed you off?"

"Sister Qin!" Sha Zhu looked up and saw Qin Huairu's gentle face, and his mood seemed to improve.

But thinking of Xu Damao's arrogant face, he immediately frowned and said angrily:

"Sister Qin, don't mention it, it's still that Xu Damao! If my body hadn't recovered yet, I would have beaten him up!"

Qin Huairu couldn't help but frown when she heard Xu Damao's name.

Ever since Xu Damao defeated Sha Zhu, he has been wandering around the yard like a victorious rooster, and from time to time he would say some frivolous words to Qin Huairu when no one is around.

But because Jia Dongxu was still alive, Xu Damao only took advantage verbally and did not do anything too outrageous. He did it more deliberately for Sha Zhu to see, just for revenge.

"It's this Xu Damao again. He's really something. He makes the yard restless all day long." Qin Huairu complained casually.

"Sister Qin, you think so too." Sha Zhu agreed, with a look of grievance on his face.

I don’t know when it started, but the relationship between the two families suddenly improved a lot, as if they had forgotten the previous severance of relations.

"By the way, Shazhu, are you feeling better now? Are you okay?" Qin Huairu asked with concern.

Sha Zhu patted his chest and said confidently: "That's nothing, everything is fine."

"That's good, as long as he's recovered. You must be careful with Xu Damao in the future and don't go to the hospital again." Qin Huairu instructed.

"Well, don't worry." Sha Zhu nodded and looked at Qin Huairu gratefully.

"When I was in the hospital, I really troubled Sister Qin to take care of me. She brought me meals and did my laundry."

Qin Huairu smiled slightly: "It's a small matter, I hope you are okay now."

It seems that since Sha Zhu was hospitalized, Qin Huairu has been sending him meals, which has improved the relationship between the two families a lot.

"Ding-ling-ling~" Xu Damao pushed his bicycle into the central courtyard.

He saw Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu talking at a glance, and a provocative smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When Sha Zhu saw him, he snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the house.

Qin Huairu also went home after seeing this.

"Hey, what's the matter? Am I so annoying?" Xu Damao asked knowingly, but he pushed the cart home without caring.

Jia Zhang looked at Xu Damao's back as he left and muttered in a low voice: "This Xu Damao is amazing. Even Sha Zhu couldn't beat him."

There was a complex emotion in Jia Zhang's tone.

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu, who was lying on the bed, had a look of fear in his eyes. He could even beat Sha Zhu, so he would not stand up to Xu Damao's dirty tricks.

Jia Dongxu turned his head to look at Qin Huairu who walked in. Looking at her plump figure, he decided to stay away from Xu Damao's trouble.

Perhaps this is the reason why Jia Dongxu didn't want to offend Xu Damao. Instead of having this beautiful wife to guard, why would he go fighting with others? What if he hurt his little brother?

Jia Dongxu thought to himself, "Xu Damao, I have a wife, I don't want to bother with you."

Yi Zhonghai watched Xu Damao leave, then watched Sha Zhu go home, thinking about something.

Without the protection of Sha Zhu, the courtyard god of war, Xu Damao was still rude to him, which made him feel a little tricky.

As for asking the deaf old lady to come out to mediate, Yi Zhonghai felt that it was useless. He was sure that Xu Damao remembered the identity of the deaf old lady.

If this issue is brought up at that time without a reasonable explanation, the deaf old lady will lose her prestige.

Her age and status as an old lady alone could not suppress Xu Damao's desire to cause trouble.

For a moment, everyone in the middle courtyard watched Xu Damao pass by quietly, and the atmosphere was very silent.

They all knew that Xu Damao was no longer the Xu Damao who was bullied by others.

They were all thinking about how to deal with the increasingly arrogant Xu Damao...

backyard.

Xu Damao came to the backyard and ran into Liu Guangqi head on, smiling jokingly.

"Hey, isn't this Liu Guangqi? Are you going out? Are you going on a date with your partner?"

Liu Guangqi's face suddenly darkened, and he said rudely: "Stop asking about my business."

Xu Damao said shamelessly: "Hey, don't say that? We are neighbors. When you get married in the future, you may want me to be your best man."

He continued to tease, "Besides, this is not something to be embarrassed about. When are you two getting married? I want to eat your wedding candy."

Hearing this, he was immediately met with Liu Guangqi's angry glare.

Until now, Zhang Lan's father still has not accepted Liu Guangqi, and has been trying to trip him up in both overt and covert ways.

At this time, Liu Haizhong heard the noise and rushed over, shouting, "Xu Damao, what are you doing?" The whole family came out and stared at Xu Damao.

Seeing this, Xu Damao pretended to smile and said, "Hey, Second Uncle, what are you doing? The whole family is here to welcome me back. You're too polite!"

Liu Haizhong did not appreciate it and warned Xu Damao seriously: "Humph, Xu Damao, I warn you, don't use your little tricks on my family."

"Don't think that just because you beat Shazhu, you can beat me."

Xu Damao took a look at the four men of the Liu family and knew in his heart that even if he secretly learned a few tricks, he would not be able to beat them.

"What's the matter, Xu Damao, do you want to fight with my Liu family?" Liu Haizhong noticed Xu Damao's eyes.

"Uncle, you are joking. I, Xu Damao, am a good man. Why would I fight?" Xu Damao decisively admitted his mistake and said with a smile.

After saying that, he decisively admitted his mistake and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you guys anymore. I'm going home to sleep."

Xu Damao put his bicycle away and turned back home.

The second aunt muttered gloomily, "Humph, this Xu Damao has bad intentions and wants to cause trouble again. One day he will be taught a lesson."

"Okay, stop talking and go home and talk about it." Liu Haizhong was too lazy to bother with Xu Damao's affairs and looked at Liu Guangqi.

"Guangqi, go away and don't worry about Xu Damao."

Liu Guangqi nodded, pushed the cart away, and several members of the Liu family also went home.

Xu Damao lay at the door and listened. After making sure that everyone had left, he muttered to himself.

“Humph, if you weren’t so many people, just wait. When I become powerful, watch how I will send you to the hospital one by one.”

Because Xu Damao learned martial arts and defeated Sha Zhu, the status of each household in the courtyard changed inadvertently.

The three uncles are still in a high and mighty position, but although they seem to be high and mighty, in fact one of them is in real danger.

As for the middle generations, there are the Jia family, Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, the Cui family, and several others.

Originally, Sha Zhu was first, the Jia family was second, Xu Damao was third, and the Cui family was last.

Because Xu Damao defeated Sha Zhu, Xu Damao directly jumped to first place and Sha Zhu fell to second place.

Thanks to the rise of Cui Yuan and Cui Gang, the Cui family rose from last to third place, directly surpassing the Jia family.

Compared with Jia Dongxu now, Cui Yuan is no worse than him.

In terms of work, he is an electrician, and is no worse than Jia Dongxu's fitter. Although he is an apprentice now, Jia Dongxu is also a first-class worker.

In terms of background, his master is Liu Huazhong, a level 6 electrician in the factory, no worse than Yi Zhonghai, who is a level 8 electrician.

The younger generation includes Cui Gang, who is good at studying and knows self-defense skills. When he grows up in a few years, he will definitely be no worse than Xu Damao.

Each household is calculating its own position in its mind.

"I didn't expect that just because Li Kailang taught Cui Gang Kung Fu, there would be such a big change in the courtyard. Damn Li Kailang!"

Yi Zhonghai cursed Li Kailang in his heart because he caused changes in the courtyard and made it more difficult to control everyone.

Although his role in the workshop became increasingly important and he was loved by the workers, and even the workshop director and Factory Manager Yang respected him very much, he could not do anything about Li Kailang.

Li Kailang is a student studying at night university, majoring in mechanical manufacturing, which is the talent pool of the factory.

How could Director Yang send Li Kailang away just because of such a small matter?
Whether in the yard or in the steel mill, Yi Zhonghai felt that he could not control Li Kailang, which made him feel helpless and angry.
