Yan Bugui was too embarrassed to tell his wife that he was the one who didn't go looking for a beating.
Suddenly, a dozen or twenty people appeared in the backyard. Wang Dabao looked around and said loudly, "Everyone, come and see. These are the two old men, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong. They've been bullying us in the yard all day long, using their position as the managers to oppress us. I'm sure you've all been bullied by them before."
"Did the neighborhood committee assign old men to our compound just so they could bully us?"
“I am a veteran. Like my predecessors, I once used my blood to protect our people. Under the leadership of the great man, we overthrew that mountain. But now, these two want to put that mountain back up in our compound. Can we agree to that?”
"No."
Xu Damao was the first to respond.
With Xu Damao taking the lead, some scattered sounds began to emerge from below.
Wang Dabao pointed at Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu, "And these two, according to everyone's feedback, are very close to Yi Zhonghai, who calls himself 'Grandpa.' Everyone saw what happened today. These two are completely Yi Zhonghai's lackeys and henchmen. What kind of behavior is this?"
"Forming gangs, thugs..."
Liu Haizhong's legs went weak and he was trembling uncontrollably. If this case were to be determined, the crime would be enormous!
Yi Zhonghai was terrified, and cold sweat immediately soaked his back. He quickly stepped forward to explain.
"Comrade Wang Dabao, Comrade Wang Dabao, it's not what you think, it's really not what you think."
Yi Zhonghai could no longer feel the pain in his body. At this moment, his life was the most important thing. "Our task is to resolve neighborhood disputes. It's just that we are old, and the neighbors in the courtyard give us face, so they call us 'Grandpa'."
Wang Dabao frowned.
"You keep calling me 'Grandpa,' you really think you're something special. Don't you have any shame? What, is helping the old residents bully the new residents your way of mediating neighborhood disputes? Or did the Jia family give you some benefits?"
Xu Damao, always eager for a good show, shook his head and clapped, "Well said."
"Xu Damao, put your hand down."
Liu Haizhong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he glared at Xu Damao with resentment.
Xu Damao stiffened his neck and said, "Hey, Liu, why are you taking your anger out on me? If you're so tough, go find someone who hits you."
Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth and was about to confront Xu Damao, but Yan Bugui stopped him.
"Old Liu, don't cause trouble now, just bear with it."
Then, Yan Bugui looked at Xu Damao and said, "Damao, don't stir up trouble here. Just say less."
Xu Damao glared at Liu Haizhong and said, "You old bastard, if it weren't for Uncle San's sake, I wouldn't have let you off the hook today."
Yi Zhonghai was extremely anxious. "Everyone, please calm down. I need to explain to Wang Dabao, the new resident of our compound."
“There is absolutely no bullying in this courtyard. If anyone does that, I, Yi Zhonghai, will be the first to disagree.”
"There's a reason why our courtyard has been rated as an advanced courtyard every year. It's because we are friendly and united, and the old man in charge of the courtyard treats everyone equally."
After a pause, Yi Zhonghai continued, "I can guarantee with my integrity that the act of accepting bribes, as Comrade Wang Dabao just mentioned, is absolutely impossible. The old man in charge will not show favoritism to any family when handling neighborhood disputes."
"Everything that just happened was a misunderstanding. It was what Lao Liu and I said that caused Comrade Wang Dabao to misunderstand, which led to this farce."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dabao exclaimed, "Wow, as expected of a PUA master, he's already trying to downplay the situation again."
"Fine, since you say you'll treat everyone equally, what about this old hag who kicked down my door for no reason?"
Wang Dabao sat back down on the doorstep, took out a cigarette and lit it. "Anyway, this door is unusable. I have to replace it with a new one soon. Who's going to pay for it?"
"this......"
Yi Zhonghai stammered a bit. He hadn't known what was going on when he arrived, and Wang Dabao had slapped him across the face. He could only look at Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi.
“Who kicked down his door? He hit my grandson first, and knocked out his front teeth.”
When Jia Zhangshi realized things were going badly, she started wailing and crying again, "Old Jia, please come up and take a look! We, a widow and her orphan, are living such a miserable life. Anyone can bully us!"
"Alright, sister-in-law, don't cry. Let's talk about what's going on first."
Yi Zhonghai was in a state of agitation and really wanted to slap Jia Zhangshi twice, but he could only think about it. What would everyone think if he actually did it? Jia Dongxu was a candidate for retirement whom he had been observing for many years. He couldn't let his years of planning go to waste because of his impulsiveness.
Yi Zhonghai looked at Wang Dabao, who was smoking a cigarette, again.
"Comrade Wang Dabao, do you have anything to say?"
“This is a frame-up against me. I don’t know what this old hag’s purpose was, or if she was instructed by someone, but in any case, I didn’t touch that child with a single hair.” Wang Dabao shrugged and looked at Yan Bugui. “Teacher Yan can testify for me. He was there when that unfortunate child fell down.”
Wang Dabao's words immediately drew everyone's attention to Yan Bugui.
"I was indeed there in the afternoon."
Yan Bugui's small eyes darted around, and he stammered, "But it's just..."
"But what is it?"
Qin Huairu became anxious and walked up to Yan Bugui, saying, "Third Uncle, please say something."
Yi Zhonghai frowned at Yan Bugui, "Old Yan, just say what you see."
Seeing this, Wang Dabao thought, "This old bastard thinks he can get away with this?" He immediately got up and walked towards Yan Bugui.
