Liu Haizhong made the final decision, and no one objected.
Jia Zhangshi dared not cause any more trouble. She might not be afraid of Liu Haizhong, but she really didn't dare to cause trouble for the neighborhood committee. After all, the iron fist of the dictatorship was not something to be trifled with.
The older woman didn't object. She hadn't suffered any loss today; on the contrary, she had knocked Jia Zhangshi down and made her rub against the ground several times.
Looking at everyone's reactions, Liu Haizhong felt very satisfied. He had managed to control the situation perfectly on his first time as the leader, which was commendable. The only drawback was that Yi Zhonghai was still the leader.
At the end of the conference, Yan Bugui gave a summary.
After Yan Bugui finished his clichéd speech, Liu Haizhong was about to announce the adjournment of the meeting when he was suddenly stopped.
"Wait, I have something else to say."
The sudden noise made Liu Haizhong very uncomfortable. The conference was about to end, and suddenly someone came out to disrupt it. Wasn't this a slap in the face for Liu Haizhong?
"Who is it? Step forward."
Liu Haizhong angrily rebuked.
"It's me, Lao Liu. I have something to say."
Yi Zhonghai stepped out from the crowd and said.
"No? I'm telling you, Lao Yi, it's true that you're an old man, but today your family, as the parties involved, is not following the rules."
Liu Haizhong said with a righteous and indignant expression.
"No, everyone, please don't misunderstand. I have no objection to the punishment. I just wanted to take advantage of the fact that everyone is here to talk about some of my personal matters."
Hearing Yi Zhonghai say this, Liu Haizhong felt relieved. As long as he wasn't being targeted, he could say whatever he wanted.
"What is it? Tell me quickly! It's so cold, don't keep everyone from resting."
See? Who says the second-in-command is brainless? He never misses an opportunity to undermine Yi Zhonghai's prestige.
Seeing Liu Haizhong's smug expression, Yi Zhonghai ignored it, but silently made a mental note of Liu Lao Er's actions before speaking.
"As everyone knows, Dongxu is my apprentice. Given the current relationship between our two families, it is no longer appropriate for us to remain master and apprentice. Since everyone is here today, I would like to ask you all to witness that Jia Dongxu is no longer my apprentice."
Yi Zhonghai's words did not surprise the people in the courtyard at all, after all, he was telling the truth. They had already beaten each other to a pulp, so it was indeed inappropriate.
Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu was struck dumb. He knew that the relationship between the two families was not good at the moment, but he never thought that Yi Zhonghai would kick him out.
Originally, Jia Dongxu was thinking that after this matter was over, he could coax his master, Yi Zhonghai, back to their previous relationship in order to secure his retirement.
But now Yi Zhonghai is not playing by the rules and has cut off relations directly. So, no one will help him in the hospital or the factory. What should Jia Dongxu do then?
Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu was no longer calm. He decided to try again, thinking that this might just be Yi Zhonghai testing him. So, Jia Dongxu pretended to be sad and said...
“Master, I disagree. If it's because of my mother, I'll apologize to you on her behalf. But you can't just cut ties like that.”
As you know, my father passed away early. Over the years, I've always treated you, Master, like my own father. I'll take care of you in your old age, so please give me another chance.
Jia Dongxu's words were sincere and heartfelt, and everyone present nodded in agreement.
However, Yi Zhonghai disagreed. He knew this wayward disciple too well. He was good at playing tricks, but if you asked him to do anything serious, you could forget about it.
But now that Jia Dongxu has promoted him, he can't be too direct, or people will say he's heartless. After thinking about it, he said...
"Dongxu! I know you're an obedient and good boy. Don't blame your mother. She's only doing this for your own good. Maybe we're just not meant to be. Alright, it's getting late, so I won't disturb everyone's rest any longer."
Seeing that Yi Zhonghai refused again, Jia Dongxu wanted to persist a little longer, but Jia Zhangshi, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and shouted at him.
"Going home is embarrassing enough. You're eager to become someone's apprentice. Do you think they'd even want you?"
With a rebuke from Madam Jia Zhang, the entire conference came to a close.
After the meeting, Sun Zhengguo and his family followed the crowd to the front yard.
After returning home, Lin Wencui saw that it was getting late and quickly urged the three siblings to go to bed.
Lying in bed, Sun Zhengguo kept replaying the events that had occurred in the courtyard in his mind.
The courtyard house now looks completely different from the original story. If a reincarnated person were to appear here, they would probably exclaim, "Is this a fake courtyard house? Did I come to the wrong place?"
The current Sha Zhu has lost his former glory as the God of War! He's even fallen into a very sorry state.
The relationship between the Yi and Jia families is now broken and unlikely to be restored in the future; their relationship as caregivers has been terminated.
The deaf old lady is no longer an ancestor; no one flatters her or respects her, and her presence in the compound is extremely low.
Other residents, such as the Yan family, the Liu family, and the Xu family, have all undergone some changes.
Sun Zhengguo couldn't understand why the changes were so drastic. Was the butterfly effect really that powerful?
In his previous life, Sun Zhengguo was an ordinary worker with no ambition or ideals, who was busy and troubled every day just to make a living.
What does Sun Zhengguo want in this life?
Money? With his methods, it's within his grasp. Fame and fortune? These have never been Sun Zhengguo's pursuit.
Oh, and I also have a family who love me. In this lifetime, I must cherish this love and make sure my family lives a happy and fulfilling life.
As he looked forward to the future, Sun Zhengguo gradually drifted off to sleep.
In my dream.
He dreamed again of that small mountain village in Shandong Province, that place that haunted his dreams.
In my dream.
He returned to his childhood, running carefree into the distance...
