In order to get revenge on Sha Zhu, Xu Damao shouted that Sha Zhu had gotten Qin Huairu pregnant, which caused everyone in the courtyard to burst into laughter.
Everyone in the courtyard knew that Sha Zhu was after Qin Huairu.
With Yi Zhonghai and Granny Long shedding their pretenses and falling into the mundane world, unable to protect Sha Zhu, the people in the courtyard all kept asking when Sha Zhu had a relationship with Qin Huairu.
Sha Zhu, unable to withstand the combined ire of dozens of people in the hospital, angrily chased after Xu Damao, which angered Wu Wei: "Alright, everyone, be quiet. We're all neighbors in the same courtyard. What's all this commotion about? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by outsiders?"
The people in the courtyard fell silent, not daring to provoke her, the security guard.
Even Sha Zhu, who was chasing Xu Damao, stopped and stepped aside, saying, "Xu Damao, I'll give Comrade Wu Wei face this time and not hit you."
If you dare to spout nonsense again and ruin my reputation, I'll beat you to death!
"Silly Zhu, you dare to do it but not admit it?"
"You lusted after Qin Huairu's body, everyone in the courtyard knows that. Now that you've caused someone's death, you're not going to admit it. You're not a real man!" Xu Damao shouted from the crowd, determined to make trouble for Sha Zhu.
Besides, the cunning Xu Damao saw the way Sha Zhu looked at Wu Wei and wanted to impress her. He felt he would be letting down the name Xu Damao if he didn't ruin Sha Zhu's image.
Yan Fugui, who was outside the crowd, noticed that Yi Zhonghai was hiding at his door and Liu Haizhong was watching the commotion at the gate. Since neither of them made a statement, he took the initiative to stand up and said, "Xu Damao, don't cause trouble."
The Jia family is having a huge fight, and you're adding fuel to the fire. If it really leads to someone dying, won't you take responsibility?
"Haha, Third Uncle, you can't tell me about the Jia family couple's fight, so what if I tell you the truth?" Xu Damao said defiantly, determined not to let Sha Zhu get away with it.
Sha Zhu said angrily, "Xu Damao, you're a despicable person. You can't stand seeing others do well. Jia Dongxu and Sister Qin are having such a big fight, and you don't even have any sympathy for them..."
"Yes, you do sympathize with your Sister Qin, especially since she's pregnant..." Xu Damao, not wanting to be known for lacking compassion, turned the tables and used Sha Zhu's tone to argue.
"Sister Qin, Sister Qin," how affectionately she calls me!
Sha Zhu realized he had said the wrong thing and, his face flushed, roared, "Xu Damao, you scoundrel, don't talk nonsense!"
"Sister Qin is older than me, so what's wrong with me calling her Sister Qin?"
"Nothing much, I just found out I'm pregnant..."
"Damn it, Xu Damao, are you deliberately trying to mess with me? I'll beat you to death..."
"Have you all made enough trouble? Who's going to call the police?" Seeing Sha Zhu chasing and beating Xu Damao again, Wu Wei was worried that the disturbance in the yard would affect the safety of the planting base, so she sternly stopped him.
Liu Guangtian raised his hand to call the police, but Liu Haizhong slapped him on the back of the head instead. Liu Guangtian angrily walked to the side, saying, "Dad, this is the last time I'll call you that. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other..."
"You bastard, you think you can escape my clutches just by climbing on Zheng Ya's tree? Go back and kneel down!" Liu Haizhong angrily chased after Liu Guangtian.
Zheng Ya made him suffer retribution. He was emperor for three days, then received three days of education, criticism, and beatings from the neighborhood committee, thus incurring Zheng Ya's wrath.
Unfortunately, his second son, Liu Guangtian, became involved with Zheng Ya and spent all his time running around for him, which made him, as the father, very uncomfortable.
It feels like you're raising a son with your enemy, Zheng Ya?
With Zheng Ya not in the courtyard, Liu Haizhong began looking for opportunities to beat and scold Liu Guangtian, trying to regain his authority as a father.
Liu Guangtian dodged his pursuit by running around the crowd, shouting, "Liu Haizhong, you've been beating the children since they were little, everyone in the neighborhood knows that!"
I'm telling you, the comrades in the People's Liberation Army all say that what you did was a crime.
To all the people in the courtyard, young and old, men and women, to be fair, I'm severing my father-son relationship with Liu Hai today and settling this privately.
"Otherwise, I'll call the police and let it go; otherwise, I'm afraid he'll beat me to death..."
"You bastard, you dare to sever ties? Fine, then take out all the money I've raised for you over the years, and we'll sever ties then!" Liu Haizhong was deeply hurt and openly demanded money to sever ties.
Since I'm losing face both internally and externally, I might as well ask for money.
Wu Wei gave Yan Fugui a wink, and Yan Fugui walked to the front of the crowd and said, "Alright, there have been a series of unpleasant incidents in the courtyard, let's hold a meeting to resolve them!"
“Yes, let’s resolve this through a meeting as usual. I also need to address the rumors circulating in the compound about my wife getting pregnant by Zheng Ya!” Yi Zhonghai suggested as he stepped out the door, intending to stab Zheng Ya in the back.
In fact, just like Jia Dongxu, he felt that Zheng Ya had cheated on him, which was like a thorn in his heart and made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
If this thorn isn't removed, it's worse than death!
The people in the courtyard were immediately thrown into a frenzy upon hearing this!
The old women, aunties, and young wives gather together to gossip, purely for amusement and to vent their frustrations.
Who made Zheng Ya favor the Yan Fugui and Lao Shen families, offering them money and wages? It's tempting!
Besides, Zheng Ya has the ability to bring retribution upon people. No one can sleep soundly until they find out if it's true!
The criticism of Zheng Ya for getting Zhang Dongmei and Qin Huairu pregnant is precisely to expose Zheng Ya's abilities so that everyone can have a clear understanding of his true character!
At the very least, it was a warning to Zheng Ya not to rely on his abilities to cause trouble, otherwise Zheng Ya would not have peace and would seek a plan to protect himself by using one enemy to devour another.
Just as the plan was about to succeed, a meeting was held to identify the person spreading the rumors, and the women in the courtyard panicked.
The conference was held at the Intermediate People's Court.
An eight-immortal table was placed in the courtyard in front of Yi Zhonghai's house.
Yi Zhonghai sat in the center, with Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui on his left and right, respectively, facing east with their backs to the west.
The attendees sat around the east, south, and north sides.
Because the meeting was decided on short notice, there were no sunflower seeds or peanuts on the table, and even the tea had to be brought by the participants themselves.
Seeing that everyone who was supposed to be there had arrived except for Zheng Ya's family, Yi Zhonghai stood up and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. Today's meeting will be divided into three parts."
We will hold meetings to address three issues: my wife's pregnancy, Jia Dongxu's wife's pregnancy and her affair with Zheng Ya, and Liu Haizhong and his son severing ties.
Second Uncle, why don't we deal with your father-son conflict first?
"Enough, your problems started first. Let's deal with your wives' infidelity first." Liu Haizhong felt he had lost face and prestige, and he was looking for an opportunity to humiliate Yi Zhonghai.
In fact, both of them made serious mistakes and should have been removed from their positions by the neighborhood committee long ago.
However, both of them were technical backbones of the steel rolling mill and had considerable influence. To avoid causing trouble by dealing with them, Director Wang simply turned a blind eye, hoping that they would learn their lesson and manage the affairs of the institute well, so that everyone would look good.
This decision was made so as not to affect the steel rolling mill's production.
Upon hearing Liu Haizhong's disgusting words, Yi Zhonghai angrily said, "Liu Haizhong, this is a meeting, watch your words!"
"Uh, right, my mistake. You and Jia Dongxu's wife didn't cheat on each other, but you're pregnant..." Liu Haizhong's sharp tongue drew laughter from everyone in the courtyard: "Hahaha!"
