Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

When Liu Haizhong heard Jia Zhang calling him a fat pig, he became so angry that his face turned pale.

But he felt a little embarrassed to quarrel with Jia Zhang, a shrew.

Just when I felt that I was about to lose face, I didn't expect Yan Fugui to lend a helping hand. I quickly gave him a grateful look and continued.

"I didn't expect Lao Yi to come up and slap me a few times and beat me up."

After saying that, he glared fiercely at Yi Zhonghai opposite him.

"I, Old Liu, have never been beaten since I was a child. Yi Zhonghai, you have really grown up. You come here to beat me up for no reason. You are really shameless."

After hearing what Liu Haizhong said, Yi Zhonghai said with gritted teeth.

"My fellow men, Jia Dongxu is my apprentice, and I have always treated him as my son. Think about it, if your son was beaten, you would definitely fight back!"

"I was wrong to hit someone first. I can apologize to you, Old Liu, but it's wrong for the four of you to attack together!"

"Look, I beat you all up. You are covered in wounds and can't even work now. You must compensate me for my losses."

Yi Zhonghai knew that it was wrong for him to hit someone first, so he tried to change the subject, revealing his injuries to gain some sympathy.

But the neighbors below didn't give me any face.

During this period, the neighbors in the yard cooperated very happily with Liu Haizhong, and the money promised to everyone would be paid immediately.

Of course, people like Liu Haizhong started to blame Yi Zhonghai.

Since he was the first to start the fight, he must compensate the Liu family for their losses. As for being injured, he deserved it because he was the one who provoked them first.

Yi Zhonghai was breathing heavily and looking at Liu Haizhong who was full of vigor and vitality across from him. He felt even more uncomfortable. The neighbors in the yard used to support me.

We must act immediately, otherwise life will become increasingly difficult.

Yan Fugui saw that the two had finished talking, adjusted his glasses, and then continued.

"You two, please leave now after you have finished speaking. Finally, let Jia Zhang come up and speak."

As the two of them walked down with different thoughts, Jia Zhang walked over from beside her son with crab steps.

Walking to the front of the stage, Jia Zhang glanced around the audience, greed revealed in her small eyes, and opened her mouth to speak.

"I had a fight with the Liu family last night. The reason why we fought was simple: they would bully us, an orphan and a widow.

"Xu Damao, you bastard, and Liu Haizhong, you fat pig."

"You must compensate our family for the losses."

"Otherwise, I will never be done with these two bastards."

Seeing Jia Zhang spitting everywhere, Yan Fugui hurriedly tried to stop her, fearing that Jia Zhang would say something even more unpleasant.

"Okay, sister-in-law of the Jia family, you've finished talking, so just wait a moment."

"I'll talk to the neighbors in the yard and see what they decide. You can take a break first!"

Jia Zhang stopped talking reluctantly. She still had something to say! But when she heard that the neighbors were going to judge the case, she also waited for the result.

Yan Fugui gathered the heads of each household and asked them to find a corner for themselves. Then he started talking.

"Neighbors, you've heard me. Let's discuss a punishment and then vote on it. Once we make a decision, it can't be changed."

"Does everyone agree with this approach?"

After hearing Yan Fugui's words, the men in each family were delighted. They never thought that they would have a chance to be in the limelight.

We are all ordinary people.

In the past, the three uncles were the ones who made the decisions on matters in the yard. Now, they were asked to vote by raising their hands to decide the punishment for the neighbors in the yard. It was the first time that they felt the taste of power.

Although it was just an ordinary vote in the House, everyone discussed it seriously.

The discussion was so intense that everyone was blushing and heavily involved in the vote.

From time to time, I would look up and observe the people who fought last night. Seeing their anxious faces, I felt a great sense of satisfaction in my heart.

.....

After about twenty minutes, when everyone was getting impatient, Yan Fugui walked up to the stage with an expressionless face and began to announce.

"Now I will announce the results of the hospital's handling."

"Shazhu said that Jia Dongxu was beaten by Xu Damao, but there is no evidence to prove this, so it is a false accusation. After the two sides quarreled, the subsequent fighting was triggered."

"Sentence Xu Damao and Sha Zhu to pay the Jia family two yuan each."

Just as Xu Damao and Sha Zhu were about to open their mouths to speak, Yan Fugui in front of the stage spoke in a serious tone.

"Don't interrupt me yet. If you have any opinions, wait until I finish reading the results before speaking."

So he continued talking.

"Shazhu wanted to hit Zhang Minghui, and everyone saw it. Zhang Minghui was fighting back in self-defense and did not make any mistakes."

"Sha Zhu has made a serious mistake and refused to change despite repeated admonitions. Sha Zhu is sentenced to pay Zhang Minghui 20 yuan in compensation."

When Sha Zhu heard the verdict, he was stunned. I was beaten like this, and I still have to pay compensation. How can this be justified?

Zhang Minghui had a smile on his face, knowing that the neighbors were trying to shut him up and prevent him from reporting to the street.

Seeing Sha Zhu was about to speak angrily, Yan Fugui shouted at him.

"Shazhu, you were severely punished for beating Zhang Minghui last time, which ruined the reputation of the compound. You want to beat someone up again this time. Do you want to go to jail?"

"Do you really have to ask Zhang Minghui to go to the street office and see how the street office handles you? Only then will you feel comfortable."

Hearing this, Sha Zhu suddenly wilted and hung his head dejectedly.

"The next issue is Yi Zhonghai's. Yi Zhonghai slapped Liu Haizhong several times without asking any questions. This was extremely bad and brought a bad influence to the atmosphere in the hospital."

"As for being beaten by the Liu family father and son, there was a reason for that, so Yi Zhonghai was ordered to pay the Liu family five yuan in compensation."

After hearing Sha Zhu's verdict, Yi Zhonghai knew that the situation was not good. When Yan Fugui announced that he had to compensate the Liu family five yuan, Yi Zhonghai was furious.

It's so immoral. He was beaten like this and still has to pay compensation to the Liu family. Isn't this disgusting?

They are banding together to bully me, this is not acceptable. I was about to speak.

Yan Fugui said lightly.

"Lao Yi, this is the decision of everyone in the hospital. Who told you to start it first? You are unreasonable."

After taking a deep breath, Yi Zhonghai calmed down his complicated emotions.

"Okay, I accept the punishment."

Old Liu on the other side puffed out his chest proudly upon hearing the verdict and laughed happily.

"As for the fight between the Jia Zhang family and the old Liu family, since it happened for a reason, and considering that Jia Dongxu was the victim, we will not pursue it."

Jia Zhang sat down where she was, slapping the ground with her hands, and her shrill screams cut through the sky.

"Oh, my old boss!"
