Chapter 425: A general meeting for Sai Fengxian
Sha Zhu went directly to Yi Zhonghai to discuss the matter.

"Uncle, Xu Damao brought his wife to our yard. We don't know much about this person. Should we hold a general meeting to ask about his background?"

Yi Zhonghai knew that Xu Damao had brought his wife here, "I do need to ask, but there is no need to hold a general meeting. I can just ask when I have time later."

Yi Zhonghai just wanted to make a routine inquiry, and this matter did not warrant a general meeting of all employees.

"How can this be done? We must hold a meeting of the whole courtyard to let everyone know the background of Xu Damao's wife. If she is an enemy spy or something, our courtyard will be in trouble."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu who was so enthusiastic and making a fuss. It seemed that he was frustrated or couldn't stand Xu Damao's kindness.

Out of guilt for Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai thought about it and decided not to refuse. "We really need to ask carefully. If someone of questionable character comes in, it will be troublesome."

"Well, go and call everyone to the meeting in the middle courtyard, including Xu Damao's wife."

"Okay." Seeing Yi Zhonghai agreed, Sha Zhu immediately called everyone to a meeting.

Sha Zhu notified every household, even Li Kailang was not spared.

"Another meeting of the entire institute. What is it about this time?" Li Kailang asked.

Sha Zhu didn't want Li Kailang to guess his little thoughts, "Don't worry about it, you will join in later."

Since Sha Zhu didn't say anything, Li Kailang had no interest at all: "I'm not going. Sha Zhu, are you up to something again?"

"I don't have any. If you don't want to go, forget it." Sha Zhu didn't dare to say more to Li Kailang and left quickly.

Seeing this, Li Kailang felt at ease and didn't go, so he just lay at home.

"Hey, isn't it better to just lie down at home? I can still hear the people in the middle courtyard talking. Why didn't I notice it before?"

Li Kailang lay comfortably on the bed, listening to the sounds coming from the central courtyard. It was the first time he used this method.

Of course, hearing about it is far less exciting than seeing it with your own eyes.

Soon, everyone in the courtyard gathered in the middle courtyard, including Sai Fengxian.

"Is everyone here?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

"Only Li Kailang and Xu Damao are missing." Sha Zhu replied.

As for the deaf old lady, she was not among those who came to the meeting. Unless it was a major matter concerning all employees, she rarely showed up, and Yi Zhonghai would always show up on her behalf.

"Forget it if they don't come. We won't wait for them." Yi Zhonghai nodded and looked at everyone.

"This time, we are holding a general meeting for no other reason than to have our neighbor Xu Damao's daughter-in-law marry into our yard."

"The purpose of this conference is to let everyone know the background of Xu Damao's wife."

After briefly explaining the reason, Yi Zhonghai looked at Sai Fengxian and said, "Xu Damao's wife, I don't know your name, where you are from, and how you got to know Xu Damao."

Yi Zhonghai asked several questions in one breath, with an attitude of getting to the bottom of things, determined to find out everything about Sai Fengxian.

Sai Fengxian looked at the aggressive Yi Zhonghai and felt that the uncles in this yard were no different from those in the countryside, not much better.

I originally thought that city people were well-mannered, but I didn't expect that they were also beasts.

Sai Fengxian pretended to be weak: "My husband told me that if anyone in the yard asks me something, I should wait until he comes before I can tell him."

"Oh~" When everyone heard this, they immediately became interested. They actually had to wait for Xu Damao to be present before they could tell the story. Could there be some hidden secret in it?

Sha Zhu said, "Why do you have to wait for Xu Damao to come before you can tell me? You don't even dare to say your own name. Is there something you can't say? I think you are a dirty person."

"Our courtyard is well-known in this alley. If a dishonest person sneaks in, won't it ruin the reputation of our courtyard?"

Sai Fengxian looked at the aggressive Sha Zhu. It seemed that she had just slapped him in the face, which made him hate her.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded, "What Sha Zhu said makes sense."

"That's right. We are a collective. We can't let a bad apple spoil the whole barrel and ruin the reputation of our courtyard."

Of course, everyone is more curious about Sai Fengxian's origin.

Seeing that everyone supported him, Sha Zhu was even more proud, "Look, if you don't tell us the truth, don't blame us for kicking you out."

"It's useless even if you are Xu Damao's wife. Our courtyard does not accept people with unclear reputations."

Hearing this, Sai Fengxian became anxious. She had finally entered the city, and before she could even enjoy the blessings, she was about to be driven out. How could she accept this?

Seeing this, Sai Fengxian couldn't wait for Xu Damao to come.

"Wow, why is it so lively!" Suddenly, a voice was heard.

When everyone turned around, they saw Xu Damao coming back pushing a cart with some daily necessities on it.

"Xu Damao, why did you come back so soon?" Sha Zhu asked in surprise. This time, it didn't take long, only half an hour, for Xu Damao to come back.

Xu Damao looked puzzled as to why Shazhu said that, but his mouth was not idle.

"What's the matter? This is my own home, why can't I come back? How can I be fast? Unlike you, you drag your feet when cooking, just like a cripple walking."

"If you don't want your leg, donate it as soon as possible."

"You" Sha Zhu pointed at Xu Damao, not knowing what to say in rebuttal.

"Da Mao!" When Sai Fengxian saw Xu Damao, she felt like she had seen a savior and quickly ran and hid behind him.

Xu Damao patted Sai Fengxian on the back and said, "Are you holding a general meeting? What are you going to talk about?"

Seeing this, Sha Zhu explained: "Xu Damao, it's a good thing that you're here. We don't allow people with unclear names to come into our yard."

"Tell me about your wife's background, where she lived originally, how did you two meet, and how long have you known each other?"

Sha Zhu repeated everything Yi Zhonghai had just said, with an attitude of trying to get to the bottom of things.

Xu Damao curled his lips and said, "Oh, you are really nosy!"

Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly and shouted, "Xu Damao, we are not discussing this with you. It's almost the New Year, and you bring in someone who we don't even know about our courtyard."

"If it's just an ordinary citizen, we won't say anything. What we're worried about is that he's an enemy spy."

"We are doing this for your own good, so that you don't get cheated and end up causing trouble for our family."

With just a few words, Yi Zhonghai escalated the situation to the extreme.

This forced Xu Damao to explain clearly, otherwise everyone would panic and even he, Xu Damao, would be driven out by everyone.

"Humph, I think you two have bad intentions. You are all targeting my wife. Do you really think I don't know? Why don't you ask about the person Liu Guangqi brought with him?"

"Now you're asking me, do you think I'm easy to bully?"

Xu Damao responded to Yi Zhonghai with great courage.

Yi Zhonghai: "Xu Damao, don't change the subject here. Liu Guangqi's wife is from the purchasing department of the factory. She knows everything about him. There's no need to ask."

"You brought someone here unexpectedly. No one in our yard knows anything about her. If you don't want to talk about it, forget it."

"If there's something missing from our yard, don't blame us for suspecting your wife. If it's just money missing, don't blame us for calling the police."

When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense and looked at Xu Damao and Sai Fengxian warily.

After hearing this, Xu Damao felt speechless. He said that he believed his wife was not such a person, but who could believe it?

Seeing that Xu Damao couldn't win the argument, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, "This is what an uncle like me should be like."

Yi Zhonghai didn't know how long it had been since he had felt the power of words to undermine an opponent.

I seem to have used it before, but it never seemed to work. I was always left speechless. That person seemed to be Li Kailang, right?

"Okay, just ask whatever you want to ask. My wife and I are innocent. We are not afraid of questions. Just ask whatever you want." Xu Damao shouted loudly.

His righteous and stern demeanor made everyone think that they had wronged Xu Damao.

Sha Zhu added insult to injury: "Humph, don't talk big yet, and don't keep silent when the time comes." Seeing that the situation was set, Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and asked one by one: "What's your name?"

Sai Fengxian looked at Xu Damao, who nodded and whispered, "Do as we agreed. If there's anything you can't say, I'll say it."

Sai Fengxian nodded. Since Xu Damao said so, she had nothing to be afraid of.

Sai Fengxian said delicately, "My name is Sai Fengxian."

"Sai Fengxian, Fengxian." When everyone heard this, they all chewed on the name, looked at her plump figure, and said sincerely: "What a good name!"

"What a bunch of old perverts!" the wives thought to themselves. If the occasion wasn't wrong, they would have grabbed their husbands' ears and left.

Yi Zhonghai continued: "Where did you live before? How did you and Xu Damao meet?"

Sai Fengxian: "My family lives in a village in the countryside, more than ten miles away from the city. Damao and I have known each other for several months."

Xu Damao and Sai Fengxian had already coordinated their testimonies, and they answered both Yi Zhonghai's and Sha Zhu's questions with ease and in a coherent manner.

When Sai Fengxian encountered a question that she couldn't answer, Xu Damao would step forward to answer it.

Sha Zhu said unhappily, "Xu Damao, don't talk. We are asking about Sai Fengxian."

When Sha Zhu saw Sai Fengxian hesitating, he always felt that this was a breakthrough, but Xu Damao would always help explain, disrupting the
Xu Damao retorted: "What's the matter? This is my wife, we are one, I am answering for my wife, what's wrong with that!"

"Besides, many of the questions you asked happened several months ago. It's normal that you can't remember them clearly. You can't think of them in the first place, but you force yourself to think of them. Isn't that crazy?"

Everyone nodded: "That's true, it's really too much."

After repeated questioning, everyone became more and more clear about Sai Fengxian's origins and how the two of them got to know each other, and gradually let down their guard.

After more than ten minutes of questioning, the Intermediate Court fell silent.

Xu Damao took advantage of the situation and said, "No one is questioning her? If no one is questioning her, then my wife is not a person with unclear records."

"If anything is missing from the yard in the future, please don't slander my wife. Also, my wife will live in our yard from now on. Does anyone have any objections?"

Sha Zhu looked at Yi Zhonghai anxiously, but Yi Zhonghai also looked helpless at this time and spread out his hands.

Yi Zhonghai was inspired by Xu Damao's confident attitude and Sai Fengxian's fluent answers to questions, with Xu Damao also supplementing his answers from time to time.

From these three points, we can conclude that the two have already agreed on their confessions, and no matter how much they are interrogated, Sha Zhu will not get the result he wants.

Sai Fengxian is definitely not as innocent as she says, but she is not a dirty person either.

What is certain is that Sai Fengxian used some method to hook up with Xu Damao.

In fact, it is useless to ask more clearly, because there are no secrets in the yard anymore.

The food in the cellar, which was originally the most difficult to expose, was taken back to their own homes and stored a few days ago.

If there is no food in the cellar, the secret that needs to be hidden most in the yard is gone, and then there is no secret in the yard.

Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai had not yet provided food under the cover of night.

There was nothing murky about the yard.

"Okay, that's it." Yi Zhonghai patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder. No matter how unwilling Sha Zhu was, he had to accept this fact.

Yi Zhonghai: "Okay, now that everything has been made clear, there's nothing else to say. While everyone is here, let me tell you one more thing."

"The New Year is coming soon, everyone should behave themselves and not cause any trouble. Let's start preparing for the New Year."

"Okay, that's it, everyone go away."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai left first, taking the unwilling Sha Zhu with him.

"Oh, let's go, there's nothing fun to watch." Everyone left.

Only Qin Huairu was still standing there, looking at Sai Fengxian, with a look of intimacy in her eyes.

She and Sai Fengxian are both from the country. They both look very young and are of the same age.

Qin Huairu felt that she and she should have similar interests, and she had experience in living in the city.

"When I have time, I will talk to Sai Fengxian and pass on my experience over the years to her."

Qin Huairu was still a very nice person at this time and couldn't bear to see others suffer.

"Oh~" Qin Huairu couldn't help but sigh when she thought of her miserable life in the past few years.

"I really envy Sai Fengxian. Both Xu's father and mother are not in the courtyard, so she doesn't have to deal with her mother-in-law's nitpicking every day."

"But I'm doing fine now. Jia Zhang is in prison. She's been there for almost four months now."

"I didn't expect it's been so long and I still haven't visited. I wonder how he's doing? Should I go and see him? Forget it, I'd better not go, to avoid getting scolded!"

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu no longer paid any attention to Jia Zhangshi and turned around to go home.

Qin Huairu didn't know at this time that in less than three or two months, Jia Zhang would be released early.

Qin Huairu had originally expected that it would be released in September or October, but unexpectedly it was released several months earlier.

Also, someone will go to the prison in her place and take a look at Jia Zhang.

"Okay, let's go back." Xu Damao pushed the cart and took Sai Fengxian back.

"By the way, why are you holding a general meeting out of the blue? Do you know about this?"

Sai Fengxian nodded and said, "After you left, He Yuzhu, the Shazhu you mentioned, came to me and said bad things about you. I slapped him a few times."

"He must have held a grudge against me, so he called a general meeting with a senior official."

Sai Fengxian lowered her head in fear and rubbed the corner of her clothes: "Did I cause trouble for you? I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Xu Damao didn't pay any attention to the trouble Sai Fengxian caused him. Instead, he was attracted by what she said about slapping Sha Zhu a few times.

Xu Damao was full of curiosity and excitement: "You just said that you slapped Sha Zhu a few times. How did you do it?"

"I just slapped him with my hand. His face turned red at that time, and there was a slap mark on his face."

"Good, good, good! You fought well!" Xu Damao said excitedly.

Seeing Xu Damao so happy, Sai Fengxian breathed a sigh of relief and asked cautiously, "You don't blame me for causing trouble for you?"

Xu Damao waved his hands: "Alas, I am worried that you will cause trouble for others, but you don't have to worry about Sha Zhu at all. If you need to beat him, just beat him. If you beat him to death, I will bear the consequences for you!"

"After so many years, I finally met a woman who dares to beat Shazhu. Great!"

Sai Fengxian didn't understand why Xu Damao reacted like that, so she asked curiously.

"This idiot Zhu is useless. He used to beat me up. I was beaten every other day, but now it's different. No, it was different last year."

"Ever since I learned Kung Fu, I no longer get beaten. Instead, it's Shazhu who gets beaten by me!"

Xu Damao patted Sai Fengxian on the shoulder and said, "You are worthy of being the wife that I, Xu Damao, have chosen. You are so brave!"

"Good, very good. Very good!"

Xu Damao was so immersed in the excitement of Sai Fengxian beating Sha Zhu that he had no desire to beat Sha Zhu at all.

It was because his wife beat Sha Zhu and made Sha Zhu dare not fight back. This felt more satisfying than beating Sha Zhu himself.

"By the way, look at these things I bought for you, see if there's anything missing."

Xu Damao showed Sai Fengxian the things he bought. Originally, he didn't want to buy them for Sai Fengxian, thinking it was a waste of money.

Now I feel that this money is worth spending!
