"Wow! It's so lively! Everyone make way so I can join in the fun."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, everyone turned around and, seeing Sun Zhengguo return, consciously parted to make way for him.
Yi Zhonghai, Xu Damao, He Daqing and his son, among others, all nodded in goodwill, and Sun Zhengguo responded politely in return.
Liu Haizhong, the second-in-command of the compound, personally stepped forward to disperse the crowd.
"Make way, everyone make way. We can't see Director Sun coming back. Don't block his way home."
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Seeing how considerate the second-in-command was, Sun Zhengguo said a few polite words and then pushed the car to the front door of his house.
After parking the car and freeing his hands, he pretended to be unaware and asked.
"Everyone, what are you all doing here at my doorstep? Can someone tell me?"
This is something that others can't easily talk about, so Wang Aifang took the initiative to step forward.
"Brother, here's what happened. My family, Zhengdong, got a new house today, but the Yan family isn't happy about it...."
"..."
After listening to Wang Aifang's intermittent recount of the events, Sun Zhengguo smiled and nodded, then looked at Yan Bugui and asked casually.
"Uncle Yan, is my sister-in-law lying?"
Faced with Sun Zhengguo's questioning, Yan Bugui finally realized that he couldn't afford to offend the Sun family, such a behemoth!
So he quickly explained, "No, no, Zhengguo, let me explain..."
However, Sun Zhengguo did not give him a chance to explain and interrupted him directly.
"I don't want to hear your explanation. If there's anything you don't understand, you should go to the steel mill and cause trouble, or criticize the neighborhood committee. What's the point of you bringing people to surround my house? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
Damn it, Sun Zhengguo's words were like killing someone by attacking their spirit; they contained a lot of information.
Whether it's causing trouble at the steel mill or criticizing the neighborhood committee, Yan Bugui wouldn't dare to go even if he was in the right, especially since his family was in the wrong first today.
As for bullying the Sun family?
Don't be ridiculous. No matter how you look at it, the two sides are not even in the same league. So tell me, how can you bully them?
Should he send all his sons at once? He was sure that if all his sons attacked together, Sun Zhengguo would beat them senseless.
Moreover, Sun Zhengguo's words also implied another layer of meaning: if you don't give me a satisfactory explanation today, I can bring those two units to you at any time.
The question is, can you handle this huge burden?
After much deliberation, Yan Bugui finally chose to admit his mistake.
"I'm so sorry, Zhengguo. I acted impulsively today and didn't think things through. Please forgive me."
"No, no, no, Uncle Yan, I can't accept this. You may have the wrong person. I just got back. What have you done to wrong me?" Sun Zhengguo hurriedly waved his hands and said.
Sun Zhengguo's words made Yan Bugui very embarrassed, but he understood the meaning and had no choice. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
So he said sincerely to Lin Wencui, "Auntie, I was wrong today. Please be magnanimous and don't take it to heart."
Seeing that the current situation was unfavorable to his family, Yang Ruihua had long lost the arrogance he had when he first arrived and also chimed in from the side.
“He’s an older woman, and we’ve been good neighbors for so many years. It was definitely my family’s fault today. I hope you can forgive us this time.”
"Alright! I'll forgive you this time." Just when the Yan family thought everything was fine, Lin Wencui suddenly changed the subject.
"But you must remember this: in principle, your family does not belong to our compound; you are just temporary tenants."
"If you cause trouble in the compound again, I can kick you out without going through the neighborhood committee. If you don't believe me, you can try."
Wow! Lin Wencui's words caused an uproar among everyone.
"Wow, this middle-aged woman is really domineering. I can't afford to mess with her."
"Wow, this time Old Man Yan has really lost face after trying to steal a chicken."
"..."
At this moment, Yan Bugui felt extremely bitter. If someone were selling a pill to undo his regrets, and the price wasn't too high, he would definitely buy one.
Why did I do this? I gained nothing and ended up putting a tight rein on myself.
However, the matter was far from over, Lin Wencui continued.
"Given your appalling behavior today, as the person in charge of the compound, I hereby order you to clean the compound for three months."
"Second Uncle, what do you think?"
After Lin Wencui finished speaking, she asked Liu Haizhong for his opinion.
Liu Haizhong hadn't expected that he would need to be consulted on this matter. At that moment, he felt very honored and felt he had to support it.
“He’s an older woman, and I think this punishment is fair. I wholeheartedly support it.”
“Very good. Since Second Uncle also supports it, what is your family’s opinion, Yan Bugui?” Lin Wencui asked again.
“My family has no objection. Starting tomorrow, my family will be responsible for cleaning the yard.” Yan Bugui used the last of his strength to say this and then prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Lin Wencui suddenly called them back.
Yan Bugui was already losing face. Was this not the end of it?
The onlookers were equally puzzled; wasn't that too ruthless?
Seeing this, Lin Wencui didn't waste any words and spoke directly.
"Since everyone is here, I'd like to tell you something. Starting today, my nephew's family will become new members of this compound. I hope you will all take good care of them in the future."
"Definitely, definitely..."
"Of course, of course..."
"..."
After everyone had expressed their opinions, they dispersed.
However, today's events have taught everyone another lesson: you can mess with anyone in this courtyard, but never mess with the Sun family.
Otherwise, the Yan family is the example; the question is whether you can afford to take on that responsibility.
Yi Zhonghai, mingling in the crowd, was also heading home, his mind preoccupied with his thoughts.
Just yesterday, he was still thinking about whether he could oust Lin Wencui and become the boss again.
It seems I was too arrogant. Relying on those two good-for-nothings, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, was futile.
Given today's situation, Lin Wencui is just the first obstacle; the real boss is her son.
Liu Haizhong was quite astute about this. It seemed he would have to lie low for the time being; the waters in this courtyard were too deep for him to handle!
Not far behind him, Sha Zhu's family was also whispering among themselves.
"Dad, the Sun family is really something. They've got that old coward Yan completely under their thumb. He doesn't even dare to bare his teeth." Sha Zhu said cheerfully. In reality, he didn't like the Yan family's personality either.
"Give me a break! Old Man Yan's decision to back down in the end was a wise one. Otherwise, what would he have to fight against them? He was simply overestimating himself," He Daqing commented objectively.
"Brother, let me tell you, in this compound, don't mess with anyone, especially not our director. I'm telling you quietly, he has a gun," He Yushui whispered a warning from the side.
"Really?" Sha Zhu was a little incredulous. Although Sun Zhengguo was a cadre, he hadn't reached the point where he was required to carry a gun.
"Don't ask any more questions. This is not a secret in our institute. Moreover, this gun was directly issued by a certain academy. If his personal safety is involved, he can draw the gun and shoot without taking any responsibility."
"Hiss~!"
Upon hearing his sister's words, Sha Zhu gasped and froze on the spot.
Wow, Son Jung-guk is so awesome!
