After discussion, the three stewards, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui, decided to convene another general meeting of the entire hospital in an hour.
On the way back to the backyard.
“Brother Da Bao, why don’t you come to my place for a meal? It’s too much trouble for you to cook at home alone.”
Liu Haizhong smiled and extended an invitation, "Your sister-in-law has already prepared the meal, and I still have half a bottle of good wine. There's still an hour before the meeting, enough for the two of us brothers to have a good drink for a while."
Xu Damao scoffed from the side, "Two people drinking half a bottle of wine for an hour, you're something else."
"Xu Damao, I'm only standing with you today because of Brother Dabao. Don't be so disrespectful to me." Liu Haizhong turned his face away and was about to argue with Xu Damao.
"You two, that's enough. You don't have any deep-seated hatred for each other, so there's no need to fight every time you meet."
Wang Dabao quickly smoothed things over, saying, "I have food at home, so I won't bother you and your wife, Lao Liu. We'll meet at the Intermediate People's Court later."
The three of them went their separate ways home.
Wang Dabao returned home, locked the door, and slipped away to the island farm.
He had already informed the housekeeper through his consciousness that the food was ready.
After wolfing down his food, Wang Dabao opened a bottle of soda, gulped it down in a few mouthfuls, and felt refreshed.
They found a mat, dragged it to the beach, lay down for a while, and then returned to the courtyard house.
Now, when attending a hospital-wide meeting, Wang Dabao no longer needs to bring a stool; he can simply use the bench at Lao Yan's house.
Seeing that Wang Dabao was late, Liu Haizhong got up from his seat and went to greet him, "Brother Dabao, didn't you bring a stool? Why don't you sit with me?"
Quickly pull Liu Haizhong aside, Wang Dabao indicated that he would sit on the bench at Lao Yan's house.
Liu Haizhong's actions baffled not only Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui, but also everyone else. Were these two really that close?!
Yan Bugui felt a little jealous.
Once upon a time, he was the best friend of Wang Dabao in the compound, the one who called him brother!
The positions of the three stewards at the front remained unchanged, but the Jia family members were seated in the first row, not far away from them, along with Sha Zhu, whose face was covered in bruises, and a deaf old woman leaning on a wooden stick.
"I'm sure everyone saw what happened during the off-get off work hours today, and those who didn't have heard about it."
The first to speak was still Yi Zhonghai, who remained firmly in his position as an elder statesman, but today there was no large teacup in front of him.
"The story begins with our compound's ancestor..."
"Afterwards, Qin Huairu and I helped He Yuzhu back to the Intermediate People's Court. I offered to apply some medicine to He Yuzhu, and it just so happened that he had some at home. Just as we were applying the medicine, we heard the old lady calling me from my house."
"I had no choice but to give the medicine to Qin Huairu and go home. Afterwards, He Yuzhu also had a lot of bruises on his shoulders, so he took off his shirt to apply the medicine."
"However, it was precisely at this moment that Jia Dongxu went to find Qin Huairu and saw He Yuzhu shirtless, which led to the misunderstanding that followed."
Yi Zhonghai paused, then lightly tapped the table: "Here I must criticize He Yuzhu. Regardless of the occasion or the presence of female comrades, he exposed his upper body without permission. I hope this kind of behavior will not happen again in the compound."
"As you all know, another mass brawl broke out in our compound, which had a very negative impact on our compound. I won't name names here, but I hope that such incidents will not happen again in the future."
"The purpose of our meeting today is to discuss how to resolve the impact of He Yuzhu on the reputation of the Jia family and Qin Huairu."
Today's meeting wasn't about donations. The courtyard was packed with people, some even with their whole families, and a large crowd began whispering among themselves.
"My husband told me that Sha Zhu was naked when he was beaten, only wearing his underwear. Is that true?"
"No way, my wife came to see what was going on, and when she got back she told me that Sha Zhu was chased out by Jia Dongxu with his bare bottom exposed?!"
"Why are you spreading such rumors? She was clearly wrapped in a sheet, but we don't know if she was wearing anything underneath."
"I heard that Sha Zhu was chased and beaten by Dong Xu with a stove hook. It seems that this matter is not as simple as the old man said!"
Hearing the neighbors' chatter, Jia Zhangshi, a fat pig, turned green with anger. She glared at Qin Huairu, thinking that she would definitely beat her again when she got home to vent her anger.
Qin Huairu still had the handprint on her face, and she lowered her head, silently shedding tears.
Jia Dongxu was panting heavily, wishing he could rush over and tear the mouths of the gossipers to shreds.
Wang Dabao took out two pieces of candy, handed one to Yan Jiekuang next to him, and unwrapped the other and put it in his own mouth.
"Uncle Da Bao, I've discovered something."
Yan Jiekuang carefully sucked on the milk candy, his eyes darting around, "Ever since you came to the compound, Uncle Dabao, this whole compound meeting has been held every two or three days."
After thinking about it, Wang Dabao realized it was true.
I've only been in the compound for a week, and this has happened several times already. But apart from the last donation which had nothing to do with me, it seems like every other one is related to me.
"How do you know Kuang doesn't like attending conferences?"
After finishing his milk candy, Wang Dabao took out some biscuits, gave one to Yan Jiekuang, and then started eating them himself.
"How could I not like it? I've been so bored at home these past few days."
Yan Jiekuang took a small bite of the biscuit, watching Wang Dabao chew it with gusto, and was extremely envious. "But the two of us won't be able to talk for a while. My dad told me to come out for some fresh air and to put on a show for everyone."
Wang Dabao nodded. If Yan Jiekuang hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it.
Although Yan Bugui has a penchant for being meticulous, he is also more cautious than most people when it comes to doing things.
"Jie Kuang, what do you think should be done to resolve this?" Wang Dabao asked, clapping his hands as he finished a bag of biscuits in a short while, under Yan Jie Kuang's envious gaze.
Yan Jiekuang took small bites, letting the biscuit melt and decompose in his mouth, pondering Wang Dabao's question very carefully.
"Aunt Jia will definitely make Sha Zhu give her money as compensation, but I don't think that's a good idea."
"Oh? Why not? What do you think is the best way?" Wang Dabao was curious now. Logically speaking, shouldn't a child from the Yan family be more concerned with interests?
Yan Jiekuang smiled shyly: "I heard that Shazhu got two bruises on his back. I think it would be good to hit him with a furnace hook. It will teach him a lesson. Hmm, hit him eight more times, and it will be good to make ten furnace hooks."
Wang Dabao immediately gave a thumbs up, not expecting Yan Jiekuang to be so ruthless at such a young age!
That makes sense, otherwise they wouldn't have come running over with iron bars to fight during that chaotic brawl.
But those were furnace hooks! Sha Zhu couldn't even straighten up after just two hits, and that was while he was running away. If he had just stood there and taken eight more hits from Jia Dongxu, he probably would have been crippled.
Jia Dongxu was injured in the foot, not the fingers.
Eight blows would be enough to paralyze Sha Zhu from the neck down!
However, it's not impossible to use a different object to hit them; we can't dampen the child's enthusiasm and waste such a good idea.
