Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

Yi Zhonghai stepped forward to act as a peacemaker, saying that what Jia Zhang said before was not wrong. If it weren't for Zhang Yuan's delicious cooking, all the troubles that followed would not have happened. Therefore, he advised Zhang Yuan to accept Jia Zhang's advice.

"Zhang Yuan, you also heard what Jia Zhang said just now, right? Since you are so generous and invited He Yushui to your house for a meal, you should be fair! I think Jia Zhang's request is not high. You just need to apologize to her first and let her take the pot of chicken soup back. In this way, can't we continue to be good neighbors living in harmony? What do you think of this way of handling it?" Yi Zhonghai pretended to be thinking about everyone, but in fact, every word he said was meant to give Zhang Yuan's chicken soup to others.

"Yes, yes, what the master said is absolutely right! That's the way to do it!" When Jia Zhang heard that Yi Zhonghai actually agreed to let her take away the chicken soup from Zhang Yuan's house, she immediately smiled. She had long forgotten the quarrel with Yi Zhonghai and his wife not long ago. At this moment, she was only thinking about the fragrant chicken and delicious chicken soup in the pot. Although she didn't get a full bowl of chicken soup, she was still full of complaints about He Yushui, the prodigal son, who had the audacity to drink her bowl of chicken soup, which was literally snatched from her mouth.

A cold smile appeared on Zhang Yuan's lips, and his eyes were as sharp as knives, staring at Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang. He stood there quietly without saying a word, but the undisguised sarcasm on his face became more and more intense, making Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang very confused.

However, Yi Zhonghai was worldly-wise after all, and he immediately understood Zhang Yuan's thoughts. He realized that Zhang Yuan did not take what he had just said seriously at all, let alone do as he was asked; this young man was clearly teasing them deliberately, treating them like fools and playing with them in his hands!

Yi Zhonghai's face became extremely gloomy, and he roared in anger: "Zhang Yuan! Things have developed to this point. Regardless of the facts, what's wrong with you giving that bowl of chicken soup to the Jia family? We all live in the same yard and are neighbors. Can't you just think of it as a good thing?" His voice was full of incitement, as if he wanted to convict Zhang Yuan of not caring about his neighbors and having no love.

"Haha, what's my relationship with the Jia family? You said we are neighbors, so you let me give chicken soup to the Jia family? Then next time, do you want me to give my money and house to others? Yi Zhonghai, you are so proud! You use other people's things to show favors, and you are unreasonable and distort the facts! Since you think this is a good thing, why don't you give your house to your neighbors? And your salary is so high, why don't you take out a part of it and share it with everyone?"

As soon as Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he fired a series of sharp questions at Yi Zhonghai like a string of cannonballs. His tone became more and more severe, and every word was like a sharp sword, piercing Yi Zhonghai's heart. The crowd who were watching the excitement were stunned by Zhang Yuan's words, and their eyes turned to the two of them.

At this moment, the surroundings became quiet and everyone began to listen carefully to the dispute. What Zhang Yuan just said, "If you have good things, you must know how to share them," seemed to have become a fuse, instantly igniting the fire of greed deep in everyone's hearts. These neighbors who seemed to live in harmony on weekdays, now became hideous because of the temptation of interests.

Their eyes were fixed on Yi Zhonghai, as if they were waiting for him to give a satisfactory answer; after all, in this courtyard, Yi Zhonghai was undoubtedly the one with the best conditions. For a moment, several greedy and eager eyes were focused on Yi Zhonghai, making him feel uneasy and fidgety.

Among these greedy gazes, Jia Zhang's was the most intense. Being greedy and mean by nature, she certainly hoped that Yi Zhonghai would agree to it, so that she could ask for a huge amount of money.

"How can that be! A great man once said: 'Labor is the most glorious, noblest, greatest, and most beautiful'. We must not develop the bad habit of getting something for nothing! You may have misunderstood what I meant just now. What I meant by helping is actually to help those who are in trouble!" Yi Zhonghai explained hurriedly, stammering. In fact, his original plan was to suppress Zhang Yuan with so-called morality, but what he never expected was that the situation took a 180-degree turn - he became the one being manipulated by others!

"Humph, you clearly didn't say that before! My family spent a lot of effort to stew this pot of delicious chicken soup, just thinking that I could eat something good to replenish my body. After all, this is the result of my hard work! Why do you two come to my house and say that it is my fault? Don't you guys have to cook food from now on? Otherwise, if you find out, you will accuse me and say that this is wrong. Not only will I not be able to enjoy the food, but I will even have to give these foods to others as an apology." Zhang Yuan's words instantly resonated strongly with everyone. If they really acted according to what Yi Zhonghai said, who would dare to buy meat and cook it at home in the future? It was a rare luxury. Once eaten, wouldn't they be blackmailed by Jia Zhang, and then face Yi Zhonghai's visit to reprimand and compensate the Jia family? Who would be willing to suffer this sin! As a result, everyone shot their angry eyes at Yi Zhonghai.

"Yes, if Zhang Yuan admits it today, whoever's turn it is next time, if it's me, I will definitely not agree."

"That's right. Eating meat at home is not a mistake. It's clearly extortion."

“If this trend becomes popular, anyone who eats meat will have to close their doors to avoid being targeted by someone.”

The person who said this secretly cast his eyes towards Jia Zhangshi. After all, she was the most shameless person in the courtyard. She often came to make a scene and was extremely disgusting.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Yi Zhonghai saw that the resident was very emotional. If he didn't handle it well, he would lose his prestige in the future. He apologized quickly, "Zhang Yuan, I was wrong. I'm sorry. I was not thoughtful today. I promise I won't do it again in the future. I promise you all here."

Yi Zhonghai was quite single and immediately bowed and apologized because he found signs that Liu Haizhong was secretly reporting him. Originally, he was wrong in the matter and if Liu Haizhong reported him to Director Wang, he would inevitably be criticized, which would undoubtedly be fatal for him as he was very concerned about his reputation.
