In the evening, Sun Zhengguo returned to the courtyard house after school.
"Strange, where are the door gods of this courtyard house? There's not a single person at the gate today."
Sun Zhengguo muttered to himself.
Upon entering the gate, Sun Zhengguo realized that there was quite a commotion in the central courtyard, indicating that someone was arguing. He quickly put down his bicycle and ran to the central courtyard to see what was going on.
Once inside the Intermediate People's Court, Sun Zhengguo realized that everyone was there.
When the younger siblings saw their older brother arrive, they waved and called out, "Brother, over here!"
Seeing his younger siblings waving and calling out, Sun Zhengguo went over to them.
"What's going on? Do you know?"
When Sun Zhengguo asked, his younger siblings also didn't know and shook their heads.
If you don't know, just watch. Sun Zhengguo isn't the type to dig deep; he's happy as long as there's excitement to watch.
An older woman was still cursing at the Jia family's door. An older man did a good job of taking care of her. Afraid that she would get tired, he borrowed two steamed buns in addition to water to help her regain her strength.
No matter how much the old lady cursed, the Jia family stuck to one policy: they wouldn't open the door. Just when everyone was calling for them to open the door, Jia Dongxu returned.
When Jia Dongxu returned and saw what was going on, his front door looked like a market, so he quickly went over and asked what was happening.
"Master, why are so many people gathered around my house?"
Faced with Jia Dongxu's question, Yi Zhonghai remained silent. Don't think Yi Zhonghai is stupid; yesterday's events were all related to this precious apprentice. Jia Zhangshi was just a scapegoat.
Hearing that her son had returned, Madam Jia Zhang, who was inside the house, felt reassured and decided not to hold back any longer. She opened the door and rushed out.
After Jia Zhangshi came out, she came face to face with an older woman, and the two looked at each other.
As the saying goes, enemies meeting are bound to be extremely hostile.
Normally, you could try to reason with them, but that's clearly not going to work today. Judging by their posture, these two are about to start a fight.
A great war is about to break out!
Suddenly, Jia Zhangshi rushed towards the middle-aged woman. Because of her obesity and short stature, her movements were somewhat comical, resembling a wild boar crashing into a tree.
Although the older woman wasn't as fat as Jia Zhangshi, she wasn't thin either. The key was that the older woman was tall, so she was well-prepared to face Jia Zhangshi's wild boar charge.
Instead of dodging, the older woman, taking advantage of her height and size, rushed over, grabbed Jia Zhangshi's hair tightly with both hands, and slammed her to the ground. Caught off guard, Jia Zhangshi's face made intimate contact with the ground.
In the first round of their confrontation, the older woman won decisively.
After Jia Zhangshi fell to the ground, she did not lose her resistance. She continued to use her knees to push against the old woman's buttocks, trying to overturn her. However, the old woman was not stupid. She took the opportunity to kneel on Jia Zhangshi's stomach. With this kneeling, Jia Zhangshi could no longer turn over and could only wriggle passively on the ground.
In the second round of their confrontation, the older woman won again.
The battle on the field was in full swing, while the audience lingered, studying and analyzing the key points of the moves and cheering on the two fighters.
Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu watched from the sidelines without intervening, because it's generally not appropriate for men to get involved in women's fights.
At this moment, Jia Zhangshi seemed to have lost the ability to resist, but she had not given up yet. She was gathering her strength, preparing for the final blow.
Sure enough, her chance came. When the old woman saw that Jia Zhangshi was not moving, she thought that she had given up and relaxed a little.
In that instant, Jia Zhangshi found an opportunity, forcefully pushed the older woman aside, and seized this chance to grab the older woman's hair.
Finally, both of them were unable to move, and they grabbed each other's hair, intertwined, neither willing to let go.
In the third round of their confrontation, both were severely injured.
At this point, the game reached a stalemate, and external intervention was needed to force both sides to stop.
You have to admit there are a lot of talented people in this compound. When the older women saw the situation, they knew the fight was over and quickly stepped in.
"Come on, let go, aren't you ashamed? You're all from the same compound, how did you end up fighting?"
Listen to what you're saying, but where the hell were you just now?
Finally, after being forcibly separated by six middle-aged women, the two were finally separated, leaving behind a pile of hair on the ground.
Even after they separated, the argument hadn't stopped; they were still hurling insults at each other. That's when Liu Haizhong made his grand entrance.
"Alright, stop swearing. Behave yourselves. This is a civilized courtyard. Everyone's here. Let me inform you that there will be a meeting at 8 p.m. to help resolve this issue. Now, everyone, please leave!"
Seeing that there was no more entertainment to be had, the crowd dispersed, some in twos and some in threes, to go home and cook.
Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Yi Zhonghai came over and helped the older woman away, while Jia Dongxu also helped Jia Zhangshi away.
After returning home, the older woman asked.
"Zhonghai, what are your plans for tonight's meeting?"
"What other plans could we have? Our two families have already fallen out. From now on, we'll go our separate ways and never see each other again. What do you think?"
After hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, the middle-aged woman's expression softened a little. She felt that the fight tonight hadn't been in vain, and then she asked another question.
"Then what will we do in our old age?"
"I'll do whatever you say. Anyway, we can't count on the Jia family."
The older woman was quite satisfied with Yi Zhonghai's answer, which at least showed that Yi Zhonghai had changed and was no longer like before, always protecting the Jia family.
"Okay, as long as you know what I'm doing, I'll go cook."
"Are you sure you can do it? Or should I do it?"
Yi Zhonghai asked with a worried expression.
"fine."
In fact, Yi Zhonghai's worries were unnecessary. When women fight, it's nothing more than scratching, grabbing, and pinching. The fight may seem intense, but the actual damage is not significant.
After dinner, it wasn't long before some people couldn't wait any longer and brought their stools up to the courtyard. Although the weather was cold that night, it couldn't dampen everyone's enthusiasm.
Seeing this situation, Liu Haizhong felt relieved. In order to improve everyone's enthusiasm, he decided to hold the meeting half an hour earlier.
So, at 7:30 p.m., the Nth general meeting of the courtyard house was officially held.
Since Yi Zhonghai is a party involved, the meeting tonight will be chaired by Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.
Once everyone had arrived, Liu Haizhong began to speak.
"Everyone is here. Today the conference officially begins. As everyone knows, the Yi family and the Jia family have had a deep conflict recently, and today they even fought each other."
The purpose of this meeting is to discuss how to resolve this issue. You two involved parties, please step forward.
After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, the old woman and Jia Zhangshi walked to the front in full view of everyone.
Seeing that someone had stepped forward, Liu Haizhong continued speaking.
"Jia Zhangshi, what are your thoughts on this matter? First, tell me your demands."
Hearing that she could speak first, Madam Jia Zhang quickly took a few steps forward and then spoke.
"As everyone has seen, I am the victim today, and I demand compensation from the Yi family for my losses."
"Hahaha……."
Jia Zhangshi's words caused everyone to burst into laughter.
An older woman standing nearby couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to speak.
"Compensate your family for your losses? What losses has your Jia family suffered? Do you expect me to compensate us for our losses?"
Next, the two sides started arguing back and forth, each claiming to be right. They argued for a long time without reaching a conclusion, resulting in a complete mess.
Seeing that the two were deadlocked, Liu Haizhong slammed his hand on the table and said loudly.
"Stop arguing, everyone. If you keep arguing like this, there's no guarantee of a resolution even by next year. We won't go back to the root of the problem. Fortunately, the losses so far haven't been too great."
Okay, you two are both responsible for this fight, so apologize to each other and promise not to fight again. In addition, you'll be punished by sweeping the courtyard for 20 days. If you do it again, you'll both have to clean the toilets.
If any of you disagree, I can report it to the subdistrict office, and they will handle it.
Fearing that the two families wouldn't accept his offer, Liu Haizhong even brought in the neighborhood committee to intimidate them.
Actually, Liu Haizhong knew that this approach was a bit hasty.
But so what?
Liu Haizhong is just here to enjoy the process of being a leader.
Does the result matter?
