Chapter 242: Into Dispute
Seeing Wang Qiang in the yard, Xu Damao deliberately walked up to him and said smugly, "Wang Qiang, look, I bought a few more chickens. You have to keep a close eye on them this time."
Wang Qiang glanced at him coldly and said calmly, "Xu Damao, I hope you can keep a close eye on them this time and don't cause any more trouble."
Xu Damao snorted, raised his chin, and continued to show off: "Don't worry, I spent a lot of money to buy it this time, no one can touch my chicken again!"
Wang Qiang smiled secretly in his heart. Although he felt disdainful of Xu Damao's arrogant attitude, he decided to keep his troops in place for the time being and see how long Xu Damao could hold on.
In the next few days, Wang Qiang continued to be busy with the affairs in the yard while observing Xu Damao's movements. He found that Xu Damao not only kept a close watch on the chicken coop, but also installed several new lights in the yard so that he could better monitor the chicken coop at night. Wang Qiang sneered in his heart, thinking that Xu Damao's little cleverness really could stop him.
One night, Wang Qiang was thinking about his next plan in his room. Suddenly, he heard a rooster crowing in the yard. It seemed that something had happened to Xu Damao's chickens. He became suspicious and decided to go out to take a look.
When Wang Qiang walked out of the room, he saw Xu Damao pacing back and forth beside the chicken coop with a flashlight, his face full of anxiety. It turned out that one of the chickens was sick, and Xu Damao was at a loss as to how to treat it.
Wang Qiang stood aside, thinking secretly in his heart. He knew that this was a good opportunity to let Xu Damao know that relying on strict defense alone could not solve the problem. So he decided to take the initiative and teach Xu Damao a profound lesson.
"Xu Damao, what's wrong with your chicken?" Wang Qiang asked with pretended concern.
Xu Damao looked up at him and said anxiously, "I don't know what happened. This chicken suddenly became unwell. It seems to be sick."
Wang Qiang nodded, walked over and carefully observed the sick chicken, then said: "Xu Damao, I have a friend who is a veterinarian, how about I ask him to come and take a look for you?"
Xu Damao obviously had no better solution, so he said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, Wang Qiang."
Wang Qiang nodded in agreement, turned back to his room, and called his friend. This friend was indeed a veterinarian, but he was also Wang Qiang's best friend and was willing to cooperate with Wang Qiang's plan. Not long after, the friend rushed to the courtyard with a medicine box and began to treat Xu Damao's chickens.
During the treatment, Wang Qiang and his friend exchanged a knowing look and tacitly started their plan. The friend deliberately said that the chicken was very sick and needed to be observed and treated for several days. Xu Damao could only accept this fact helplessly.
In the following days, Wang Qiang and his friend came to check on the sick chicken every day, and secretly observed Xu Damao's reaction. Xu Damao anxiously stared at the chicken coop every day, watching the chicken slowly recover and gradually calm down. Wang Qiang knew that the time was ripe for further action.
One night, Wang Qiang sneaked into Xu Damao's yard and let out the remaining two chickens. The chickens ran around in the yard, and Xu Damao was woken up by the noise. He panicked and grabbed chickens everywhere in the yard. Wang Qiang watched this scene in the dark and felt happy.
Xu Damao took great efforts to finally catch the chicken back to the chicken coop, and sat on the ground panting, his face full of fatigue and helplessness. Wang Qiang saw it and felt proud in his heart, knowing that Xu Damao was really scared this time.
The next day, Xu Damao found Wang Qiang, with a hint of apology on his face, and said, "Wang Qiang, thank you for your help these days. I have thought a lot and feel that I did something wrong before and caused a lot of trouble for everyone."
Wang Qiang was surprised. He didn't expect Xu Damao to apologize. But he remained calm on the surface, nodded and said, "It's okay, Xu Damao. As long as you can get along with everyone in the future, our courtyard will become better."
Xu Damao nodded, looking a little guilty. He knew that his behavior did make everyone unhappy, and now it was time to change. From that day on, Xu Damao began to take the initiative to reconcile with his neighbors and gradually integrated into the harmonious atmosphere of the yard.
Wang Qiang felt relieved when he saw the changes in Xu Damao. He knew that although the process was tortuous, the result was good. Through this lesson, Xu Damao finally understood the importance of living in harmony. And he himself also learned more and grew a lot in this struggle.
In the following days, Wang Qiang continued to be busy with the affairs of the courtyard, working hard with his neighbors to make the courtyard better. Although there were still minor frictions occasionally, everyone learned how to solve the problems better.
One evening, Wang Qiang and He Yuzhu were walking in the yard and talking about Xu Damao's changes. He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Boy, you really did a great job this time. It's not easy for someone like Xu Damao to change."
Wang Qiang smiled and said, "Thanks to everyone's support, I couldn't have done so much by myself."
He Yuzhu patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be modest. Your efforts are seen by everyone. You have made an indelible contribution to the harmony of our courtyard today."
Wang Qiang felt warm in his heart after hearing this. He knew that the road ahead was still long, but as long as everyone worked together, Siheyuan would definitely become better and better. And he himself would continue to grow in the process and find true peace and satisfaction.
Wang Qiang returned to his room and lay on the bed, replaying the conversation with He Yuzhu in his mind. Although he appeared to be very positive, in fact, he didn't want to continue dealing with Xu Damao's problem. These days, Xu Damao's troubles have come one after another, making him physically and mentally exhausted. He felt that he had done a lot, and Xu Damao's change was also a big achievement, but there was always a lingering feeling of fatigue.
The courtyard was strangely quiet late at night, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind. Wang Qiang tossed and turned, his heart full of contradictions. He didn't want to worry about these trivial matters anymore, but he couldn't bear to see the courtyard fall into disputes again. He sighed, closed his eyes, and tried to relax himself, but those troubles came like a tide, making it difficult for him to fall asleep.
The next morning, Wang Qiang got up early and decided to go out for a walk. He walked outside the yard and saw Xu Damao chatting and laughing with a few neighbors, as if he had completely forgotten all the unpleasant things that happened before. Wang Qiang looked at this scene with mixed feelings. Has Xu Damao really changed? Or is it just a temporary disguise?
