Chapter 104 If you don’t like me, get out of here!
When Shi Xiaoai and the others packed up their stall and went home, there was already a commotion in Courtyard No. 1.
The entrance to the alley was so blocked that even a tricycle couldn't pass through.
However, this time the onlookers did not gather at the gate of Courtyard No. 1, but stayed far away.
I guess if they couldn't resist the gossip, they would have run as far away as possible.
Before the four of them walked into the crowd, the first thing they smelled was a strong smell of disinfectant coming from the yard.
Shi Xiaoai covered her nose and said, "I'll go over and take a look. You guys stand here and wait."
Wang Xiaofeng walked around the car and squeezed next to her, pulling her sleeve and saying, "I'll go too."
Cheng Lin and Cheng Kai wanted to follow, but were stopped by Shi Xiaoai.
She glared at the two of them and said, "Just smell this smell, it's not a good thing, why are you joining in the fun! Hurry back. Cheng Lin, take Kaikai and take a detour through Qingyun Street. Remember to pick up Mingxi and Mingrui and take them home."
Uncle Wang took a day off today, so he took the two children home to take care of them, so Kaikai was able to come over and help.
It's already two o'clock in the afternoon. The old man has been helping to look after the kids for the whole morning, so he should at least be allowed to take a break.
The two young men were obviously a little unwilling, but facing the intimidation of their sister-in-law, no one dared to resist.
Cheng Lin stood on tiptoe and looked towards the front of the crowd, but saw nothing. He then looked at the tricycle he was pushing, looking very helpless.
He waved to his brother and said unhappily, "Help me push it, let's turn around."
Kaikai said "Oh" obediently and stood behind the car.
After watching the two of them leave, Shi Xiaoai and the others approached the crowd.
"What is this for? What's going on?" Shi Xiaoai asked a young man standing next to her.
The young man often went to the tea stall for breakfast and was familiar with her.
Seeing her coming, he immediately said excitedly: "Little boy, someone is avenging you!"
Shi Xiaoai raised her eyebrows and stood on tiptoe to look forward.
"Revenge? What revenge?" Wang Xiaofeng also squeezed in and asked curiously.
The young man moved aside to make some room for the two of them, then patiently explained, "The owner of this courtyard is Yang Hui, you know that, right?"
The two nodded.
"Yang Hui had a fight with the people in Courtyard No. 1 today, and scared them to death. You weren't here just now, so you didn't see the most lively moment. Oh my god! It was a mess here just now, and Yang Daming was thrown out directly from inside!
You didn’t see him fall like that! He was such a tough guy before, but now he’s so badly beaten that he can’t even stand up.”
This guy clearly had a bad relationship with Yang Daming, and his tone was filled with gloating: "I thought he was so awesome, but it turns out he's just a bully. He's a coward even when he meets a tough guy!"
He looked at Shi Xiaoai and said, "Isn't this revenge for you? Yang Daming has been causing trouble for your tea stall before."
Shi Xiaoai nodded: "Really. Then I have to thank Yang Hui."
Wang Xiaofeng couldn't help herself and asked, "What's going on? Why did things get so chaotic? Yang Hui doesn't seem like that kind of person."
"What kind of personality should Yang Hui have? If you meet someone like this, no matter what your personality is, they will force you to lose your temper!"
The man explained, "Yang Hui came back today, bringing her cousin and uncle with her. They said they had bronchitis and needed to see a doctor at the city hospital across the street, so they had to stay in the hospital for a few days for convenience.
The people in Courtyard No. 1 resolutely refused to do so. They blocked the gate and refused to let Yang Hui and the others in. As a result, the people Yang Hui brought kicked down the gate, grabbed Yang Daming, and threw him out.
After hearing what he said, someone interrupted, "But the posture of Yang Hui and her group just now was too scary. Did you all see it? The old couple were carried back on a stretcher, and their faces were never shown from beginning to end."
Yang Hui said they had bronchitis, but that didn't look like it! Did they think they were fools? To be honest, not only were the people in Courtyard No. 1 scared, but even I, watching from the sidelines, was scared too!
"We saw them," Wang Xiaofeng echoed in a low voice. "They just passed by the tea stall. They looked scary."
The person who was speaking immediately seemed to have found a kindred spirit and said, "Yeah, you saw it too. Does it look like bronchitis?"
Wang Xiaofeng pursed her lips and did not agree.
Shi Xiaoai looked at the empty gate of Courtyard No. 1 and asked doubtfully, "Where's the person inside? It doesn't look like there's anyone inside. What are you all standing here looking at?"
The young man who had come first explained, "They're inside! After Yang Hui and her companions showed off their skills, the people in Courtyard One didn't dare to stop them anymore, so they all went in. Now everyone in Courtyard One has fled, young and old, without a single one left."
The young man looked towards the alley entrance and said, "We want to see what Yang Hui and the others are planning. Are they really planning to stay here?"
He hesitated for a moment and whispered, "No one knows anything about those two people. Could it be that they're really infected? If they live here, coming in and out every day, will they infect our neighbors?"
An elderly woman who had been listening to their conversation nearby also chimed in: "The people from Courtyard One went to the office and asked them to come and judge the case."
Another person scoffed, "Do they even know how to go to the office to seek justice now? They were so arrogant before that they kicked Sister Liang out directly. If they go now, will the office give them a good face?"
"You can't say that, right? This isn't the fault of the people in Courtyard One. It's that girl Yang Hui who's been dishonest. With all the people in this courtyard, what's the big deal about her bringing two contagious disease patients back to live in?"
Shi Xiaoai couldn't stand it any longer, so she turned to look at the man and said coldly, "Can you blame Yang Hui for this? If I'm not mistaken, Courtyard No. 1 is Yang Hui's own yard, right? People are living in that yard for free without paying any money!"
It's their own yard, and what's wrong with relatives staying here to see a doctor? It's their right!
Are we really going to let outsiders live in our nice yard for free, and even ask for permission for relatives to stay? This doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it!"
Shi Xiaoai's words caused everyone around to fall silent.
No one seemed to expect that she would speak up for Yang Hui.
Wang Xiaofeng immediately stood up and echoed loudly, "That's right! Didn't you see Yang Hui coming in and out of the alley several times yesterday?
She came over yesterday to discuss with the people in Courtyard No. 1, saying that a relative of hers was coming to recuperate and asked them to move. She also said she was willing to subsidize their moving expenses.
I've said it before, these people are just shamelessly taking advantage of us, and I'm already giving them face by using courtesy first and then force!"
"Yes, yes, I saw it! You just didn't see what those people looked like!"
Someone tutted their tongues, "They acted like they were the landlords and Yang Hui was the one groveling and begging them. In the end, even Director Yu's intercession was useless!"
I saw it clearly yesterday. Yang Hui came twice, but no matter how we discussed it, they wouldn't agree. Yang Hui was so angry that she almost cried!
If this were my house, I would have fought them long ago. How could I have endured it until today? What? It’s my own house, and I can’t make the final decision? "
"Yes, the people in Courtyard No. 1 are just crazy."
"They're so used to bullying Yang Hui's family that they think it's still sports time!"
"Old ideas are no good. Things have changed a long time ago!"
Shi Xiaoai heard that the wind had changed, and the neighbors' dissatisfaction with Yang Hui was slowly being replaced by sympathy. She stopped talking, withdrew from the scene, and stood in the crowd, watching quietly.
While everyone was still talking, a group of people came over from the entrance of the alley.
Walking in front were Yang Daming, two old ladies from Courtyard No. 1, Director Yu and Aunt Liu.
Following them were other residents of the courtyard, a large group of dozens of people.
Seeing them coming, the onlookers spontaneously made way for them.
Aunt Liu began to follow Director Yu closely. When she passed by Xiao Ai and Wang Xiaofeng, she was stunned for a moment, and then walked towards them in a rage.
After she came over, she slapped Shi Xiaoai's arm and scolded in a low voice: "What are you looking at? Go home!"
The voice was harsher than ever.
Shi Xiaoai was beaten so hard that she stood there, not daring to move, and looked completely dumbfounded.
Wang Xiaofeng was so frightened that she slipped into the crowd, staying as far away from her mother as possible.
When Aunt Liu saw Xiao Ai like this, she was angry and anxious, but she obviously couldn't stay for long.
She took out a thick white cotton mask from her pocket and stuffed it into Shi Xiaoai's hand, indicating that she should put it on immediately.
Then he glared threateningly at his daughter in the distance and raised his hand as if he was going to hit someone.
Wang Xiaofeng turned around and ran out without saying a word, and stopped only when she reached the outside of the crowd.
Only then did Aunt Liu feel a little relieved.
She pushed Shi Xiaoai forward again, signaling her to leave immediately, then turned around and chased after Director Yu and the others.
Although the old lady didn't say anything, her actions still scared everyone around.
After all, Aunt Liu is from the office, so she came here with Director Yu.
Her actions can be said to be a weather vane, representing the office's attitude on this matter.
Many people in the crowd suddenly changed their expressions.
Especially those elderly people who were old and had experienced a lot in the past, they no longer cared about anything at this moment, and began to grab their younger generations in the crowd and started to walk out.
As he walked, he kept muttering, "Go home, everyone, go home first. Don't look at it, it's terrible if you get infected!"
This panic was contagious and the crowd began to become agitated.
The number of onlookers was rapidly decreasing.
Even if there were still those who were unwilling to leave, they subconsciously retreated several meters outside.
The open space in front of Courtyard No. 1 is getting bigger and bigger.
Soon, Director Yu and Aunt Liu were the only ones left at the gate of Courtyard No. 1 besides the residents of the courtyard.
Yang Daming and the two old ladies stood beside Director Yu, but all of them were one step behind her. It was obvious that they all followed her lead.
Director Yu had no choice but to stand at the door and shout loudly: "Yang Hui! Yang Hui! Come out for a moment."
Her voice was very loud, but she stood still, far away from the door threshold, without moving.
There is absolutely no intention of going in.
Soon, Yang Hui came out with four strong men.
When they came out, the people at the door exclaimed again!
Because at this moment, the heads and faces of the five people were covered with thin cotton cloth, and they were all wearing long sleeved coats.
Everyone covered their eyes completely, making everything airtight.
Yang Hui was walking in front, holding a kettle in her hand. White smoke was still coming out of the spout, and a pungent sour smell hit her in the face.
The four men behind her were holding sprayers, seemingly about to spray the liquid in the pot everywhere...
Seeing Director Yu, Yang Hui took two steps forward.
Director Yu was so frightened that he took several steps back, then he took out a mask from his pocket and put it on quickly with trembling hands.
"Yang Hui, what disease did the relative you picked up today have?" Director Yu asked with forced calmness.
"It's nothing, just bronchitis." Yang Hui explained.
"Why are you making such a fuss about bronchitis?" Director Yu was obviously unconvinced, and pointed at the kettle in Yang Hui's hand while speaking.
Yang Hui lifted the pot upwards and said, "Don't get me wrong, Director. It's just a little vinegar in there, nothing serious. The doctor said that regularly boiling some vinegar at home can kill bacteria and is good for the body. My cousin and her husband are weak and have a low immune system. If I spray them more, they'll get better sooner. Isn't that for everyone's benefit?"
"What tracheitis? It can't be tracheitis! Why would you spray vinegar or disinfectant for tracheitis? Why would you dress like that? They must be infectious, malignant infectious diseases! You're poisoning us! You're poisoning our entire hospital! You're trying to kill us!"
Yang Daming finally couldn't stand it anymore and spoke loudly from the side.
As soon as he said this, the two old ladies who were with him burst into tears as if they had agreed on something. "Oh my! This is killing us! This is forcing us to die! Our good home has been taken away by someone else. We have a home but can't go back!"
Hearing this, Yang Hui laughed.
Although no one could see her expression because of the cloth, her laughter was clear and everyone could hear it clearly.
She laughed a few times, put down the vinegar pot, clapped her hands gently at those people, and then said, "That's right, these words are so true. Isn't it true that you have a home but can't return? Isn't it true that a good home is occupied by others, forcing people to die? But, it has always been you who have occupied the magpie's nest, not me, right?"
At this point, she looked at those people and her voice suddenly turned cold: "You are taking advantage and you think you are right! Who of you dares to say this is your home? Stand up! Let me see your face. Is it as thick as a city wall?
I'm putting it out there today. This is my house, my home! Whoever I want to live in it can live in it. If you don't like it, get out!"
"You! Watch your mouth!" Yang Daming yelled in a timid tone.
Before he finished speaking, a strong man standing behind Yang Hui walked towards him.
Yang Daming was so scared that he quickly dived into the crowd and hid faster than a rabbit!
Seeing him like this, Director Yu was obviously also in great trouble.
She had no choice but to speak up to mediate. She said, "Yang Hui, don't be like this. We are all neighbors. Let's talk it out."
"I can't talk it over nicely." Yang Hui interrupted her rudely.
Without giving Director Yu another chance to speak, she pointed directly into the courtyard and said to the people at the door, "I know everyone is very concerned about the condition of my relative. I'm going to tell you straight out that my relative is sick. If you don't believe me even if I tell you what the illness is, then I won't tell you anymore."
Let me just say one thing, this yard is mine. I have the property certificate and the land deed, so my family will live here!
Anyone who is not happy about this should move out, and move out quickly. This will prevent any problems later. Besides, if someone claims it was infected by our family, I won't be held responsible!
If you don't want to move, then stop nagging me. You want to live in my house, but you're also trying to sabotage me behind my back. If you're plotting something, stop it now. I don't have a good temper."
She pointed behind her: "See? My cousin, the son of her cousin's father, came here specifically to take care of the old couple. These people have even worse tempers than me. If they hear anything unpleasant..."
She spread her hands and sneered: "It has nothing to do with me."
Yang Hui seemed to have said a lot, but in fact, it seemed as if she had said nothing.
At least she never admitted from beginning to end whether her two relatives had an infectious disease.
But the more this happens, the greater the panic it causes to people. After all, people can scare themselves half to death just by imagining it.
Yang Hui seemed to understand this very well. She stood at the gate of the hospital and promised everyone that her relatives would not leave the hospital without informing them.
If they have to go out, they will notify everyone in advance and take protective measures to ensure that they do not cause trouble to the neighbors in the alley.
The meaning of this sentence is very obvious, that is -
They just stayed in this yard.
Instead of going out to disgust others, he stays here to disgust the “own people” in this yard!
