Everyone could tell at a glance that Jia Zhangshi was timid, and a burst of laughter immediately filled the courtyard.
"Look, even Jia Zhangshi has her fears. Old Yan's third son is really something else. He said, 'If you're so capable, come and tear my mouth apart.' He's really something. If he weren't so young, he would be the mediator today."
"To be honest, Jia Zhangshi really doesn't dare to be stubborn. Don't forget what happened to Sha Zhu last time. If it weren't for Wang Dabao's quick thinking and action, Sha Zhu would be almost fifty-seven years old by now."
"Yes, yes, yes, that really scared me last time. This kid is really fierce. Sha Zhu was lucky to escape with his life last time."
"Hehe, it's right that Jia Zhangshi doesn't dare to yell at this kid. If she angers him, who knows what he might do? He was traumatized last time, I heard he had some kind of mental breakdown, right?!"
“That’s right. I saw his third uncle take Jie Kuang to the hospital twice. How much does it cost to go to the hospital? If the child is okay, would his third uncle, who is so stingy, be willing to spend that much money? So, this can’t be fake!”
As Jia Zhangshi listened to the neighbors' conversation, a cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
That kid from the Yan family is crazy! He almost killed Sha Zhu last time, and she was there. Luckily, she didn't get into a fight with him today. She's not ready to live any longer.
Seeing that there was no sound from Jia Zhangshi's side, Yan Jiekuang jumped off the bench and plopped down, winking at Wang Dabao: "How about it, Uncle Dabao, aren't you awesome?"
"Absolutely awesome. Uncle Da Bao rarely praises people, but Jie Kuang, you definitely deserve it."
As Wang Dabao spoke, he gave a thumbs up, then took out a few pieces of milk candy and stuffed them into the child's shirt pocket. "This is a reward from your uncle. Eat as much as you want. I'll buy you more next time."
"Okay."
Yan Jiekuang smiled so hard his eyes narrowed into slits. He peeled a kernel and put it in his mouth. "Uncle Dabao, if you don't like anyone, just tell me. I'll definitely make them suffer."
Wang Dabao exclaimed, "With Jie Kuang saying that, Uncle Dabao's love for you hasn't been in vain."
As he spoke, Wang Dabao reached out and vigorously rubbed Yan Jiekuang's head, and Yan Jiekuang also had a little expression of enjoyment.
Jia Zhangshi didn't dare to provoke Yan Jiekuang anymore, and turned to look at Jia Dongxu beside her.
“My son! Liu Haizhong is condoning his son’s violent acts! He’s trying to kill us, my poor son and me! Everyone, look at this! If anything happens to us, everyone in this courtyard will be held responsible. No one will escape responsibility!”
Jia Dongxu covered his eyes and cried out in pain for a while, then got up when the pain subsided.
"Liu Guangtian, don't be so arrogant. If you dare to make another move, we'll fight to the death, and no one will get away with it."
Liu Guangtian snorted coldly, ignored Jia Dongxu, and walked back to the front.
Yan Jiecheng kept a close eye on Jia Zhangshi, fearing that this old witch would harm his younger brother. Seeing that Jia Zhangshi had given up, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would have to teach his younger brother a good lesson when he got home.
The gaze behind Yan Bugui's glasses was equally sharp.
This youngest son is different from the two older sons. He is his precious darling. The two older sons were disappointing, and he is counting on his youngest son.
Although he never received special treatment at home, he was still the youngest son, so there was some favoritism.
That's just how the child is. Yan Bugui may have a headache, but he can't let the child suffer a loss right under his nose.
"Shazhu, go home and find a cloth, wet it, and bring it to me so I can wipe my face."
Liu Haizhong now finds Liu Guangtian quite agreeable. He knows that a good son is one who can vent his father's anger. If Guangqi were here, he would definitely beat Jia Dongxu to a pulp.
Sha Zhu had just sat down when he heard Liu Haizhong's words and had to stand up again, holding his breath as he turned and walked home.
There's no way around it; it's like an exam. Liu Haizhong is essentially the chief examiner, and the kind who can give extra points to the candidates.
We absolutely cannot afford to offend them!
Soon, Sha Zhu brought over a damp cloth and handed it to Liu Haizhong.
Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth and wiped the blood off his face, glancing in the direction of the Jia family's house before throwing the wet cloth onto the table.
"Alright, now Lao Yan and I will start voting."
Upon hearing Liu Haizhong's voice, Liu Guangtian and Yan Jie immediately handed over paper and pen.
Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly below and said nothing more, only staring intently at Liu and Yan.
Soon, the two put the four written notes into the box.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Bugui announced the opening of the box and the counting of tickets.
The task of counting the votes was carried out jointly by Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiecheng, while Xu Damao, Shazhu, Jia Dongxu, and Zhou Shengli watched from the sidelines to prevent anyone from cheating.
The votes were quickly tallied: Xu Damao had 14 votes, Sha Zhu had 6 votes, Zhou Shengli had 2 votes, and Jia Dongxu had 1 vote.
Surprisingly, Yi Zhonghai also received a vote.
Needless to say, everyone who saw the ballot knew that Yi Zhonghai had voted for himself, as if doing so could vent his dissatisfaction.
Seeing that victory was within his grasp, Xu Damao couldn't help but feel genuinely happy. He never dreamed that he would one day become the third uncle of the compound. He wondered what Old Xu would think if he knew.
Sha Zhu dangled one arm, his face a little numb. He had been busy all day, his face was stiff from smiling, and he only got six votes, including his own. Where could he go to complain?
In contrast, Zhou Shengli's expression remained calm, as if this result was within his expectations.
Jia Dongxu could hardly believe his eyes. He swallowed hard and squeezed forward again. It was indeed just one vote!
Doesn't that mean no one will vote for you, and you'll only have one vote from your own family?
