Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

"Xiao Weiguo... You and I cannot coexist, sir!"

Yi Zhonghai was forced to stand at the door and curse. At this time, Jia Zhang came out from home after picking up the things, with a dejected and gloomy face.

But when he looked up and saw Yi Zhonghai, his expression immediately changed.

"Old Yi, let's go to work!"

After calling Yi Zhonghai several times and seeing no response, Jia Zhang simply walked closer and looked up at the man.

"Zhong Hai...what's wrong with you? Did something unhappy happen to you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai came to his senses and before he could say anything, a middle-aged woman suddenly opened the door and poured out a basin of water without leaving a drop.

"Ah! What are you doing? Do you have eyes?"

Jia Zhang was poured with cold water, and she jumped up and pointed at the aunt and started to speak.

The old lady simply threw the iron basin to the ground, and a loud bang echoed throughout the compound.

Yi Zhonghai was about to lose his temper, but felt it was not the right time, so he quickly turned around and pulled the old lady into the house to close the door.

But how could Jia Zhang let it go when she was poured a bucket of cold water for no reason?

"What the hell do you mean by that? You knew I was standing here but you still poured water on me. You did it on purpose!"

Although Old Yi kept winking at Jia Zhang, the old woman had never suffered a loss in a fight between women. She couldn't bear being splashed with water suddenly, so she adopted a fierce stance and looked like a knife-wielding man.

"Zhang Cuifang, I have tolerated you for a long time. Don't think I don't know what you are planning. My silence does not mean I acquiesce!"

This was the first time that an old lady had offended Lao Yi in public. Zhang Cuifang felt a little guilty when she heard this, but seeing that all the women in the yard had come out to watch the fun, she didn't want to do anything that would embarrass her.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't accuse a good person. I just heard some noise in your house and came to take a look. You don't know how kind people are."

As she spoke, Zhan Cuifang finally understood Lao Yi's eyes and turned to leave.

But just as the aunt was about to take a step forward and call her, she was stopped by Lao Yi.

"What are you going to do? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Old Yi's righteous and stern favoritism was the last straw that broke the camel's back for Auntie.

"Oh my God, I can't live like this anymore. Jia Zhang, you've been eating and drinking for free at my house for a few days. What are you thinking?"

"Can't you support three people with your apprentice salary? Are you short of food or people?"

"You are such a heartless ungrateful bastard, why do you always covet other people's things?"

The old lady changed completely from her usual virtuous self and laid on the ground crying and wailing, as if she was possessed by Jia Zhang.

This scene not only left Lao Yi at a loss, but also left everyone in the hospital dumbfounded.

More and more people gathered around, and the crying of an old lady woke up Shazhu. He must have felt so wronged!

"Hurry up and get up. Why are you crying? I am the most powerful man in the hospital. How can I put my face aside if you do this?"

Yi Zhonghai felt like sitting on pins and needles. Every time he looked at someone in the yard, he felt embarrassed.

As a big boss, he got himself into a lot of trouble, and the image he had maintained for many years was instantly destroyed.

Jia Zhang was still trying to defend herself, but her crying was so loud that she couldn't hear what the two were saying.

"See? I said Zhang Cuifang had a special relationship with the old man. Isn't this a confirmation?"

"The lady must have discovered some clues, otherwise she would have said this in public. What has this forced an honest person into?"

"Did Uncle Yi and Zhang Cuifang get caught? This is going to be a big deal. Uncle Yi might step down and be paraded through the streets."

……

People in the courtyard gathered in groups to discuss things. Someone shouted secretly, "You haven't even come to work yet, but you're still here to watch the fun. You'll have your salary deducted if you're late."

Before the voice had died down, people who were going to work ran out of the yard at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and in an instant, more than half of the people who were watching the fun disappeared.

Only the left-behind women and children who have not gone to school are left in the courtyard, but these people are often the main force in spreading the disease.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale and he was already impatient when facing the middle-aged lady.

"Just go ahead and cause trouble for me. There's obviously nothing wrong, but I forced you to make trouble. I'm going to work first and you should reflect on your actions at home."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai pulled the donkey face, which was longer than Xu Damao's, out of the compound stubbornly, completely disregarding the aunt's physical condition.

Jia Zhang snorted twice with disdain, followed closely behind Yi Zhonghai and turned around to smile.

This really pissed off the aunt!

"Zhang Cuifang, I'm not done with you!"

An old lady's shout broke the silence of the compound and helped her overcome the hurdle in her heart.

In the past she always blamed herself for being too tolerant, but today she witnessed Yi Zhonghai's ruthlessness and secretly made up her mind that since Old Yi was not afraid of losing face, then she would not be afraid either.

Thinking of this, the aunt covered her chest with her hands and looked very uncomfortable. Seeing this, Aunt Li and others hurried forward to support her.

"What happened to you, aunt? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"This body is your capital, calm down first, don't let yourself get hurt by it!"

"Zhang Cuifang, you shameless woman, we will help you deal with her!"

……

Several people were chattering non-stop, and the aunt was supported by everyone and went back to the bed to lie down for a while. The pain in her heart was relieved a little.

"Thank you... It's a shame, I..."

"Stop talking about that, sir. Let's hold a meeting of the whole hospital tonight to criticize Zhang Cuifang. I have disliked her for a long time. She is actually having an affair right under the nose of the boss. Isn't this bullying?"

Aunt Li became more and more angry as she spoke. The men in the city were afraid of losing face, but the women in the city were not jealous either, not to mention that the Women's Federation was protecting them from behind.

In this era, the status of the working class in the factory is supreme. The status of women is gradually rising with the reform and opening up, and they can also hold up half the sky.

"It's just his aunt. Don't be afraid of anything. Just tell us everything you see and hear during the meeting tonight. We must teach Zhang Cuifang a lesson."

Listening to everyone's advice, the aunt seemed a little hesitant.

If she told the truth, she would have no solid evidence. After all, one has to catch both of them in adultery, and she had never caught them in such a shameful state that their clothes were disheveled.

If he said it so easily, Zhang Cuifang would definitely bite back, so Yi Zhonghai and his wife of many years would call it quits.

"You sisters have misunderstood. Actually... Hey, let me put it this way. Dongxu has recognized Zhonghai as his master, but ever since the Jia family got into trouble, Zhang Cuifang has been sticking to our family like a dog-skin plaster. Recently, she has been going too far. She brings Banggeng to my house every day to eat for free. My family relies on Lao Yi's fixed salary to make ends meet. With two more mouths to feed, we can't even afford to eat."

"That's why. Jia Zhang came to visit again early this morning. We don't have any extra food to give her, so I..."

Listening to the old lady's distress, the old men looked at each other with a hint of regret in their eyes.
