"Gentlemen, it's so late today, and the purpose of gathering you all here has been explained."

That is, a collective show of hands to vote on whether to remove Yan Bugui from his position as "Grandpa."

After seeing Ma Hua return with his bicycle, Liu Haizhong continued to recount the account opening topic.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hua looked at Yan Bugui with a face full of surprise.

Sure enough, Yan Bugui's face was now terribly gloomy, and the depression on his face seemed to have almost solidified into water.

At this point, Yan Bugui was nearing his limit, both mentally and physically.

That damn bangs, how dare he?

This identity as a patriarch of a courtyard house is the only dignity he has left, and you, Liu Haizhong, actually want to take it away.

Yan Bugui's hands under the square table were clenched tightly, not just in his fists.

His face was throbbing with veins, as if he was about to burst with anger.

Everyone sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off, and they all silently lowered their heads, not uttering a word.

Honestly, no matter who's in charge, all courtyard houses are like this, given the reputation of our courtyard houses.

Is it something that can be salvaged by replacing a few old men?

"Old Yan, what's your opinion?" Liu Haizhong was angry that Yan Bugui didn't immediately express his opinion, and his tone naturally became a bit harsh.

"You, Liu Haizhong, don't you want to give yourself even the slightest chance of survival?" Yan Bugui stared at Liu Haizhong with bloodshot eyes, saying nothing.

Yang Ruihua was furious to see her husband being pressured like this by Liu Haizhong.

He angrily cursed at Liu Haizhong, "Liu Haizhong, what do you mean? My old man Yan is acting like the boss of this courtyard house?"

He was doing well in his position, so what gives you the right to dismiss him like that? And what about Old Yan's status as a powerful figure?

But the neighborhood committee director appointed him personally; why can you dismiss him just like that?

Upon hearing his wife's words, Yan Bugui's previously gloomy face gradually regained its color.

Yes, my wife is right.

"Hmph, you're asking me why? It's because Old Yan made a mistake before, and it wasn't a small one."

How can someone who made a mistake and swept the streets have the nerve to continue being the boss of our courtyard house? Don't you all think so?

Liu Haizhong looked at Yan Bugui with an arrogant expression. That old Yan, he really deserved it!

You deserve to be a street sweeper now because you were greedy for cheap things.

"Hmph, what's wrong, Liu Haizhong? If you're talking about this..."

"Then your mistake is much bigger than our old Yan's," Yang Ruihua pointed directly at Liu Haizhong.

This startled Liu Haizhong so much that he broke out in a cold sweat, his face turned deathly pale, and his body trembled.

Seeing this, everyone recalled the incident involving Liu Haizhong. Yes,

Yan Bugui's problem stems from his greed for small gains, but your bangs are a matter of integrity.

Yan Bugui, whose face had been deathly pale, now regained his usual rosy complexion. Yes, indeed.

You may have made a mistake, but your bangs aren't much better.

Xu Damao was also at a loss. He had originally planned everything perfectly, intending for Liu Haizhong to be the old man of the courtyard house.

Then the two of them joined forces to bring down Cui Dake, and by betraying Liu Haizhong, they seized power directly.

But how could I have forgotten the mistake I made with my bangs?

Only Cui Dake looked blankly at Liu Haizhong and the others, wondering what this meant.

What has Liu Haizhong been doing all this time? Why does he always have that expression?

Liu Haizhong felt somewhat dazed and unsteady on his feet. Before he lost consciousness, he saw Ma Hua.

I immediately realized it was all because of the MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association). If it weren't for the MCA moving into the courtyard house...

I wouldn't have ended up like this just because I reported MCA. Ugh!

This is only the second time in my life I've been this close to a leadership position. Damn MCA!

If it weren't for you, I'd be a grandpa in a courtyard house again today.

Thinking it over, Liu Haizhong raised his fist and lunged towards the spot where he remembered Ma Hua.

If Ma Hua knew what Liu Haizhong was really thinking, she would only feel wronged, thinking, "What does this have to do with me?"

You can't poop, so you're complaining about the latrine?

I never intended to harm you; I was just trying to protect myself. You only got what you deserved because of your bangs.

If you hadn't reported me, you wouldn't be in this situation now.

To be honest, it's because you, Liu Haizhong, were too foolish and were taken advantage of by Yi Zhonghai. It has nothing to do with me.

Coincidentally, because Liu Haizhong was in a daze, his fist naturally didn't strike towards Ma Hua's position.

Anyway, it hit Yi Zhonghai squarely on the head.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was secretly chuckling to himself, thinking that Liu Haizhong was once again being used as a shield for someone else.

I felt a sudden dizziness, and then I fell straight backward.

Liu Haizhong, on the other side, also lost his footing and fell towards Yi Zhonghai.

With two soft thuds, everyone saw Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai lying flat on the ground of the courtyard, one on top of the other.

What's most captivating is the location where he fell, because of his unsteady footing.

He fell right under Yi Zhonghai's nose.

Everyone burst into laughter at the sight. What's wrong? You want to play PUBG with your bangs on?

You can't do that!

The women in the courtyard spat when they heard the men laughing; they simply couldn't bear to watch.

After Liu Haizhong's wife and Qin Huairu hurriedly helped their husbands up,

They then glared at each other, their eyes wide with menacing expressions, clearly ready to fight.

Seeing this, Yan Bugui was secretly delighted and immediately shouted, "What are you doing? What are you doing?"

This is a meeting. What's going on? You want to fight? Okay, meeting adjourned, you can fight all you want.

As Yan Bugui spoke, he prepared to retreat with his family, but Cui Dake was unwilling to allow it.

Seeing that the duck he had just sold was about to fly away, he couldn't wait for Xu Damao to speak.

He shouted directly, "Wait! Why did you disperse?"

Our meeting isn't over yet, let's see who dares to leave!

Cui Dake shouted in a deep voice, then looked around at the crowd with a serious expression.

Cui Dake noticed that whoever he looked at would lower their head, and he was secretly pleased.

He then added, "This meeting must produce a result today!!"

"Yes, our family is absolutely right. What's the point of holding a meeting in this courtyard house if it doesn't produce any results?"

"You think you can just play around like this? No way, absolutely not! We need a result today!"

Jia Zhangshi also stepped forward, put her hands on her hips, and shouted at Yan Bugui.

Da Ke is about to become a leader; I'll be the leader's wife in the courtyard house from now on.

You, Yan Bugui, how dare you sabotage this? Bah! Watch how I tear your face to shreds!
