Chapter 226. The Dust Settles Down



"This..." Yi Zhonghai was also dumbfounded. Who had called Director Wang here? So many things had happened.

"What are you talking about? Speak up!" Director Wang snapped in a low voice.

Xu Damao, who was not human, was secretly delighted to see Yi Zhonghai's behavior.

Yi Zhonghai, you've finally met your match! Weren't you always touting yourself as a moral exemplar?

So you dare to bully me in the yard, huh? Hahaha, let's see how you get through today!

Actually, Director Wang was summoned by someone sent by Xu Damao.

When Xu Damao saw Jia Zhangshi throw out Qin Huairu's and the three children's clothes, he realized that this was a golden opportunity.

Sha Zhu is still in labor camp and can't take revenge on his own, but Yi Zhonghai can.

Xu Damao always remembered those who bullied him.

If the previous Xu Damao would have retaliated on the spot with just words, then the current Xu Damao...

I've grown through what's happened over this period; I've learned that revenge and retaliating against others don't necessarily require me to do it myself.

For example, right now, I called Director Wang over.

I bet you, Yi Zhonghai, will be skinned alive if you don't die today.

"It's just a minor conflict between neighbors, nothing serious, nothing serious."

"We can handle this ourselves in our courtyard," Yi Zhonghai said hastily with a smile. Then he winked at Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi.

"Yes, yes, that's it, Director Wang. I'm the one who upset my mother-in-law."

"It's really nothing," Qin Huairu hurriedly replied, "This matter mustn't alarm the officials."

If this alerts the officials, my fate will be dire.

"Is that how Jia Zhangshi is?!" Director Wang ignored Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, and instead looked at Jia Zhangshi with suspicion.

Jia Zhangshi initially wanted to deny it, but then she thought about what would happen if she told Director Wang.

What about his own plans? The little money he has isn't enough for his retirement.

No, I can't tell him myself.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhangshi reluctantly nodded to Director Wang: "Director Wang, it's like this!"

"Really??" Director Wang looked the group up and down with some suspicion.

Could it be because of this? This courtyard house is far too noisy.

Something was wrong, Director Wang thought. He looked at the clothes on the floor.

This is kicking her out of the house! And she saw the deaf old lady raising her cane to hit Jia Zhangshi just now.

Director Wang looked at everyone.

He asked the onlookers, "Is it really as they say?"

But while it's fine for people to watch the drama unfold, it's even better for them to gossip behind people's backs. Now, Director Wang is asking questions in front of Jia Zhangshi and Yi Zhonghai.

How could they dare say it? How could they possibly say it? Besides, family scandals shouldn't be aired in public.

If this gets out, how will I ever be able to face anyone again?

The spirit of collectivism still exists these days. If word gets out about Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai's scandalous affair...

I guess I'll never be able to hold my head up again in this courtyard.

"Fine, I'm telling you, if you don't want to live a good life, just tell me."

Our neighborhood committee has ways to deal with you, do you hear me?! It's the Lunar New Year!

Give me a break. If I find out there's any more trouble in your compound, don't blame me for being ruthless.

And you, old lady, don't think that just because you're old you're immune to being controlled by anyone.

"If you dare to cause any more trouble, don't blame me for arresting you again!" Director Wang sternly rebuked the crowd.

In his last sentence, Director Wang's eyes were indeed fixed on the deaf old lady.

Upon hearing Director Wang's words, the deaf old woman involuntarily shivered.

He stammered, "Yes, yes, I'm sure I can't, don't worry."

After reprimanding everyone, Director Wang wanted to leave, but Xu Damao objected. What was going on? Was that all?

Why should you get away with this? You ruined my family, and you expect to be fine?

However, Xu Damao didn't dare to expose it directly in front of so many people.

After all, Xu Damao is a petty person, not that reckless fool Zhu. Don't worry.

Yi Zhonghai, you just wait! If I don't ruin your family, I'm not a Xu!

After Director Wang left, Yi Zhonghai went directly to Jia Zhangshi's side and whispered a few words to her.

All the people saw was Jia Zhangshi's face turning pale and then purple, before she reluctantly nodded.

He yelled at the crowd, "What are you looking at? Get out of here! And you, get back here right now! You disgraceful piece of trash!"

After yelling at Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi walked towards the Jia family's residence.

Everyone looked puzzled. What had Yi Zhonghai said to Jia Zhangshi that made her decide not to pursue the matter?

Only Ma Hua vaguely heard something: Old Jia, medicine, the Qing Dynasty, retirement money.

After a moment's thought, Ma Hua understood. Well, Yi Zhonghai really knows how to play the game. Time to go home and have dinner.

Ma Hua took Qin Jingru's hand and led her home.

As soon as she got home, Qin Jingru could no longer contain her curiosity.

He asked MCA, "Brother MCA, why is your compound so chaotic?"

"It's not that our courtyard is messy, it's that all the courtyards are like this." Ma Hua reached out and affectionately rubbed Qin Jingru's little head.

Seeing Qin Jingru's puzzled look, he still spoke up to explain, "Think about it,"

With so many people living in one courtyard, how can it not be chaotic? You think it's just your area that has so much trouble?

There are even more things to do in a courtyard house: whether you're doing better than me or worse.

There are so many trivial things happening every day.

Otherwise, you see why I ignore them? It's because I'm afraid of trouble.
