"What are you two still standing there for? Hurry up and come eat."
Seeing Yan Bugui leave, Lin Wencui said irritably.
"Coming right away."
The two brothers quickly washed their hands before going to the main room to eat.
After finishing dinner and clearing away the dishes, Lin Wencui, now with some free time, spoke mysteriously.
"Zhengguo, Xiaowei, are you interested in going back to the courtyard tonight to watch a big show?"
"Mom, what kind of big show could be going on in the yard?" Ning Xiaowei asked curiously.
Lin Wencui did not respond to the question, but instead looked at Sun Zhengguo.
"Mom, now that you've arranged everything, I have to go back and show my support."
Sun Zhengguo seemed to have guessed what was going on and said with great confidence.
Seeing that the mother and son were speaking in tacit agreement, and that only she didn't know what was going on, Ning Xiaowei pouted and pretended to be unhappy.
"Mom, Zhengguo, what exactly happened? Can't you explain it clearly?"
"Hahaha……!"
Ning Xiaowei's pouting face made everyone burst into laughter.
Grandma chimed in with a smile, "Zhengguo, tell me, what kind of play are you going to see? If it's good, your grandpa and I will go too."
"Grandma, it's not a big show, it's just that someone's going to have bad luck tonight, so I'm going back to check on them," Sun Zhengguo explained.
"You child, you're so happy to see other people having bad luck?" Grandma, unaware of the situation, scolded her grandson instead.
"Grandma, the person who's about to get into trouble is the one who reported me a few days ago. He doesn't deserve any sympathy."
Sun Zhengguo's explanation made the two elderly people realize what was going on.
"Hmph! That's perfect, serves him right for being unlucky. If this kind of person were in the past, he would definitely be a traitor."
"Hahaha……!"
Grandma's drastically different attitudes and vivid metaphors drew another burst of laughter from the room.
Ning Xiaowei finally understood what was going on. It turned out that the person who was about to suffer was Yan Bugui. She definitely had to go back and watch this good show.
In the end, the grandparents didn't want to join in the fun, while the rest of the family decided to go and watch the show.
Fearing they would miss the start of the show, the group quickly picked up their child and headed towards the courtyard house.
The two courtyards weren't far apart, so everyone took the opportunity to digest their food and soon returned to the courtyard.
Seeing that there was still no movement, Wang Aifang, together with Sun Zhengdong, took the child and went to visit her aunt.
The rest of the people returned to the Sun family home, waiting for the grand show that Lin Wencui had mentioned to begin.
Sure enough, less than ten minutes after they got home, Liu Guangfu came running over excitedly to announce a meeting, saying that people from the neighborhood committee had also come.
The group of people, who were prepared in advance, grabbed their stools and headed towards the central courtyard.
Because it was past dinner time, everyone gathered very quickly.
When the Sun family arrived at the Central Court, they found a quiet spot with few people, sat down, and waited to watch the drama unfold.
The Silly Brother and Sister originally wanted to find a place to sit anywhere, but when they saw Sun Zhengguo, they came over.
"Jung-guk, do you know why we're having a meeting tonight?"
Sha Zhu, acting like a natural friend, asked before he had even settled into his seat.
"Brother Zhu, I don't know either? I was just about to ask you!"
Sha Zhu shrugged, indicating that he was also unaware of the situation. At this moment, He Yushui came over to say hello, and the group started chatting.
Sha Zhu's words revealed his longing for the canteen at the Mechanical Research Institute, but unfortunately, Sun Zhengguo's unit was not short of people, so he had to give up.
After chatting for a while, three people came out from the backyard. The one leading them was someone everyone recognized; it was none other than Liu, the former manager of the compound.
However, he can no longer be called Officer Liu, because he has already been promoted to deputy section chief.
The person behind him was the current manager, Officer Zhang. It's probably because he's young that Deputy Section Chief Liu came over to keep things under control.
The last person to follow was Liu Haizhong. He followed the two of them cautiously, striking a perfect balance.
People who don't know him might think he's a street office official.
After Deputy Section Chief Liu arrived, he first looked into the crowd. When he saw Sun Zhengguo, he politely nodded as a greeting.
Then he saw Yan Bugui. After meeting the person in question, Deputy Section Chief Liu slowly spoke.
"Good evening, everyone. I'm really sorry to bother you so late. I have something urgent to take care of, so please forgive me."
After finishing speaking, Deputy Section Chief Liu gave Yan Bugui a meaningful look.
Since returning from Sun Zhengguo's courtyard today, Yan Bugui's eyelids have been twitching violently, and he has a feeling that something is about to happen.
Looking at Deputy Section Chief Liu's eyes now, he was basically certain that tonight's meeting was aimed at him.
"Alright, now let's get down to business. I'm sure everyone is familiar with Yan Bugui, the person in charge of our institute. He is also a teacher at Hongxing Elementary School."
"A person like him, by all accounts, should be a person of high moral character. However, he went astray and did some shameful things. He has now been expelled from school."
Everyone in the compound knew that Yan Bugui had been expelled, but very few knew the specifics, except for the Sun family, of course.
Deputy Section Chief Liu laid so much groundwork to give everyone a more intuitive understanding and prepare them for the punishment to come, so that they wouldn't think the punishment was too severe.
Next, Deputy Section Chief Liu began to recount Yan Bugui's numerous scandals at the school, which filled the crowd with righteous indignation.
The reason why everyone reacted so strongly is quite simple.
Except for a very few individuals, almost every family in this compound has several children.
Among these children, quite a few had been Yan Bugui's students. No wonder things had mysteriously gone missing from their homes before; they had all been taken to school.
"Pah! That stingy Yan is a real scoundrel. How dare someone like him be the head of our compound? Let's fire him right now!"
"Hmph! He's only been given the lightest punishment. My child went to school under his care. No wonder all the family's belongings were probably given to this old man. I want him to compensate us for our losses."
"What a scoundrel! My family should also pay compensation...!"
"Teaching and nurturing people? That's fucking ironic. He deserved to be fired."
"..."
Seeing the reaction of the crowd below, Deputy Section Chief Liu was very satisfied. This was exactly the feeling he wanted, so that when he took action later, no one would feel that he had gone too far.
Yan Bugui was now like an ostrich, wishing he could bury his head in his crotch.
Seeing this, Yan's children quietly moved to the side, afraid of causing unnecessary harm.
It is clear that these people are all ungrateful wretches, the kind that can't be satisfied.
Seeing that the atmosphere had been set off very well, Deputy Section Chief Liu prepared to move on to the next program.
You should know that tonight's goal isn't just to remove Yan Bugui from his position as manager; that's just an appetizer.
Even harsher punishments await him!
