In fact, Wang Dabao could hear the commotion coming from the yard from his home.
He was skilled in martial arts and had exceptional hearing, so he knew that something must have happened to Yi Zhonghai's family.
After thinking about it, there was no other reason than that Sha Zhu was not satisfied with his blind date. As soon as his children left, he immediately started arguing with Yi Zhonghai.
However, he didn't take it to heart; there were plenty of other troubles in this compound.
He could go over and check out the excitement during the day, but it's so cold at night, forget about it. It's nothing compared to the comfort of drinking hot tea at home.
Liu Haizhong and his group of four passed through the moon gate and entered the central courtyard when they saw Yan Bugui and his two companions approaching with flashlights.
"Oh, Lao Yan, you guys are here too."
"It's Lao Liu and Da Mao. It seems that Yi Zhonghai's side in the Intermediate People's Court is causing quite a stir."
After exchanging a few words, the two groups headed towards Yi Zhonghai's house.
At this moment, behind the window of the Jia family, Jia Zhangshi stared intently with her triangular eyes, wanting to see what exactly had happened at Yi Zhonghai's house.
This time the group was even larger, with all three of the courtyard's stewards present.
With Uncle Zhou, Yan Jiecheng, and the Liu brothers also present, there's no fear of Sha Zhu causing trouble after drinking.
Before the group even reached the edge of the pool, they saw Sha Zhu staggering out of Yi Zhonghai's house.
At this moment, Sha Zhu was in a bad mood and had drunk quite a lot of alcohol, a bit too much. He was a little tipsy and walked straight home with his head down.
"Silly Zhu, stop right there."
Liu Haizhong, adopting a leader's demeanor, roared and strode up to Sha Zhu with a stern face. "I'm asking you, what were you doing at Yi Zhonghai's house? I could hear Aunt Yi crying terribly in the backyard. You didn't fight with Aunt Yi, did you?"
"That's right. Aunt Yi has been very good to you. If you hit Old Yi, I won't say anything, but hitting Aunt Yi is a bit unreasonable."
Yan Bugui wiped his glasses and muttered to himself.
Liu Guangtian also came up to say a few words, but Xu Damao pulled him back.
After the first and second uncles finished speaking, it was his turn, the third uncle. How could he let someone else beat him to it?
Even if it's the son of Liu Haizhong, that old man, it won't work!
Xu Damao walked around Shazhu for half a circle. "Shazhu, listen to yourself. Old Yi's wife is still crying in her room. Are you even human? You hit a woman of such an old age, and she even introduced you to a potential partner. You're a real scoundrel."
Upon hearing Xu Damao mention introducing someone to him, Sha Zhu immediately raised his head.
"Xu Damao, don't cause trouble here, or I'll beat you to a pulp."
Liu Haizhong and the others smelled the strong odor of alcohol on Sha Zhu, and immediately pointed at the Liu brothers, Yan Jiecheng, and Xu Damao, and instructed, "You young ones keep an eye on Sha Zhu and don't let him leave. I'm going to check on Yi Zhonghai."
"Old Yi, let's go together."
Yan Bu followed along excitedly.
Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, and Uncle Zhou arrived at Yi Zhonghai's house. Inside, Aunt Yi's sobbing continued.
Liu Haizhong lifted the curtain and went in first. He saw that the room was in a mess, with the table overturned and food, plates and bowls all on the floor.
However, Yi Zhonghai and his wife, along with the deaf old woman, were still sitting in their chairs.
The deaf old woman leaned on her cane, her head turned to one side. Yi Zhonghai's face was full of anger, while Aunt Yi was still sobbing.
Upon seeing Liu Haizhong and the others enter the room, Yi Zhonghai stood up, but without saying anything, he pointed to the chair next to him, indicating that they should sit down and talk.
Seeing this, Liu Haizhong sat down, cleared his throat, and said, "Old Yi, didn't Sha Zhu just go on a blind date with you tonight? What's going on here? Tell me."
Yi Zhonghai took out a cigarette, lit it around, and sighed, his face full of helplessness.
"I meant well, but it turned out like this. Introducing someone to me ended up being my enemy. What was I thinking?"
Yi Zhonghai then recounted the story to the three of them, but added his own embellishments to it.
In short, Sha Zhu disliked his blind date for being fat, but Yi Zhonghai didn't mention a word about his lack of common sense.
“I just told Zhu Zi that my coworker said the girl was a bit chubby, and I blame myself for not asking more questions. Besides, when I'm introducing Zhu Zi to someone, I can't just go to the girl's house to take a look before they even meet, can I? That would be so awkward!”
"Now Zhu Zi is blaming me, and I really have nothing to say. Lao Liu, Lao Yan, Lao Zhou, you three tell me, I kindly found a girl with a city household registration for Zhu Zi, so how come in the end it's still my fault!"
After Yi Zhonghai's explanation, the three of them finally understood the reason for the matter.
"Shazhu went too far. If he didn't want to date that girl, he could have just said so. Why did he have to make such a fuss and flip the table? It makes him seem like he has a bad temper!"
Liu Haizhong rolled his eyes and immediately defined the nature of the matter.
Yan Bugui disagreed, “Actually, Shazhu was wrong, but Lao Yi, you weren’t entirely right either. People said the girl was a bit chubby, so you should at least have asked how much she weighed. Good heavens, when I saw her at the door, I was almost scared to death. She was a little fat pig! These days, what family can afford to raise her?”
"I won't refute what you said, Lao Yan. The mistake was mine."
Yi Zhonghai nodded, a cigarette dangling from his lips. "It's my fault for not asking more questions. Otherwise, things wouldn't have escalated to this point. I bear at least half the responsibility for how things have turned out."
Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was so agreeable, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui had no reason to say anything more to him.
Uncle Zhou pursed his lips. "I heard Aunt Yi crying loudly in the front yard. I thought Sha Zhu had gotten drunk and started a fight. As long as she's alright, let's go back."
"Actually, how should I put it..."
Seeing the three about to leave, Yi Zhonghai sighed deeply and took out his cigarettes again.
"Old Yi, just say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush, this isn't like you." Liu Haizhong waited for Yi Zhonghai to light his cigarette before speaking in a bossy manner.
Yi Zhonghai glanced at the deaf old woman and said, "Grandma, I'm doing this for Zhuzi's own good."
Then he looked at Liu Haizhong and the others again, "Actually, I think Zhuzi still cares about Qin Huairu. Why is he so stubborn? The Jia family can't stand his meddling now. If the Jia family falls apart, people might die."
“Old Liu, I admit that you, as an old man, have done a better job than me. You also need to think of a way to deal with Zhu Zi and Qin Huairu.”
Yi Zhonghai patted Liu Haizhong's arm, offering a timely compliment.
Liu Haizhong could be amused by flattery from others, let alone Yi Zhonghai, the old man who once dominated him.
It worked perfectly for Liu Haizhong; it was a sign of his approval.
Immediately, Liu Haizhong slapped his thigh.
"He dares!"
