The attack of Xu Fugui and his son was swift and fierce, causing Yi Zhonghai to almost faint from the pain. Now his dignity and face were no longer his primary concern.

"I was really wrong! Stop hitting me! Please!" Yi Zhonghai said in panic when Xu Fugui grabbed his hair and forced him to look up.

"Let's see if you dare to be arrogant again?" Xu Fugui asked viciously.

Yi Zhonghai nodded and promised repeatedly: "I won't dare to do it again. I really won't dare to do it again!"

The fight was so sudden and intense that the onlookers were all stunned and speechless. They quickly stepped aside to make room for the three men, fearing that they would be involved.

Everyone watched in amazement as Yi Zhonghai was beaten up by Xu's father and son.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai apologizing and begging for mercy again and again, the onlookers showed contempt. Yi Zhonghai, the former arrogant old man, has come to this day! The world is as unpredictable as clouds, and life is also unpredictable!

In the past, he was proud of his nobleness, high-spirited, extraordinary and in high spirits at home, but now... who could have predicted that his fate would fall into such a tragic situation?

"Yi Zhonghai deserves it. When he was a big boss, he did nothing good and only sought fame. After being dismissed from his position, he still doesn't know how to restrain himself."

Some people commented that it seemed natural for Yi Zhonghai to be beaten.

Someone else said: "He is still so arrogant..."

"He deserves to be beaten!"

There was a chorus of agreement all around.

Qin Huairu was anxious but helpless when she saw what was happening. After all, she was just a weak woman. How could she save Yi Zhonghai who was in the vortex of chaos?

The horrific sight of Yi Zhonghai made Qin Huairu worried, wondering if he would be seriously injured or killed. If that were the case, who could she turn to for help in the future?

At this time, Jia Zhang saw the anxious look on Qin Huairu's face, and couldn't help but think of what Jia Dongxu said last night. Doubts began to arise in her heart. Coupled with the comments of other people around her about Yi Zhonghai, her doubts became even stronger.

Could it be that Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai really had some close relationship? Maybe she was just too nervous!

As for Yan Bugui, he was immersed in this lively scene and watched with great interest. Such a plot was really exciting!

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai succumbed to their whipping, Xu Fugui and his son finally stopped. They didn't want to beat Yi Zhonghai to death.

Yi Zhonghai lost the fight and suffered physically and mentally. He was unwilling to face the mocking looks from others, let alone Qin Huairu's worried eyes.

Yi Zhonghai hung his head in dismay. He wanted to escape from reality. This was really the tragedy of a tiger in troubled times being bullied by a dog! He couldn't intervene in the Jia family's affairs anymore. It wasn't his business anyway. He could do whatever he wanted!

Xu Fugui adjusted his breathing after the exercise and said to Qin Huairu, "Did you remember? Don't set up a mourning hall in the courtyard."

Qin Huairuyi saw that Yi Zhonghai was unreliable and felt bad about losing her backer. She could only walk up to Xu Fugui and beg, "Uncle, can we do this first?"

Qin Huairu slowly explained that she hoped to be able to keep vigil for the deceased Jia Dongxu, even if it meant burying Bang Geng first.

Faced with Qin Huairu's pitiful and pleading eyes, Xu Fugui's cold face softened slightly.

The stench of Banggeng's body was indeed unbearable. Burying Banggen first would save one coffin in the yard and provide more space. Besides, Jia Dongxu had just died, so the body would not rot in a short time.

But... thinking back to Yi Zhonghai's arrogant attitude before, Xu Fugui still found it difficult to calm his anger.

The other residents in the courtyard did complain about the Jia family setting up a mourning hall in the courtyard. Xu Fugui shook his head slowly and was about to refuse politely when he suddenly heard Qin Huairu whisper, "Grandpa Yi, please! As long as you can set up a mourning hall and keep vigil for Dongxu in the courtyard, I will do anything for you!"

After hearing this, Xu Fugui's words of rejection were instantly stuck in his throat. His eyes inadvertently swept across Qin Huairu's chest and her delicate face. He had to admit that Qin Huairu was very beautiful and had a very attractive figure.

His round eyes were extremely lively, with a hint of cuteness at the corners of his eyes, and his skin was fair and tender. At this moment, Xu Fugui felt like a swollen pony, and he almost wanted to gallop on his horse excitedly in front of everyone.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Fugui changed his tone and turned to face everyone: "Everyone heard it! Qin Huairu agreed to bury Banggeng first, and only put Jia Dongxu's coffin in the yard, and let her family just keep vigil for Jia Dongxu!"

"This will reduce the impact of the odor and will not cause too much disruption to people's lives."

"The Jia family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are indeed having a hard time. I hope everyone can be more understanding. I have only agreed to this with reluctance! What do you think?"

After hearing what he said, everyone thought it made sense and agreed after discussing it privately.

"Alright, alright, everyone who's fine can go home!"

This dispute took quite some time, and when the crowd heard the old man Xu Fugui's call to leave, they gradually dispersed.

Looking at the people leaving, Xu Fugui was secretly delighted: this is exactly the majesty he felt as the boss of the courtyard!

It feels so great to have this kind of power!

Xu Fugui reluctantly withdrew his gaze from Qin Huairu and walked away.

As everyone went home, even Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi went back to their rooms.

Back in the house, Jia Zhang thought more and more and began to doubt Qin Huairu's behavior.

She asked Qin Huairu sternly: "Did you really betray Dong Xu?"

"Do you really have an ambiguous relationship with Yi Zhonghai?"

Hearing Jia Zhang's question, Qin Huairu trembled and looked at her mother-in-law in shock.

"No, Mom, how could you think of me like that! I swear, I have never betrayed Dongxu!" Tears rolled down her cheeks again, but Qin Huairu tried her best to control her emotions.

Jia Zhang was already feeling annoyed that Qin Huairu started to cry whenever she was blamed. She didn't want to see Qin Huairu acting like a little woman in front of her anymore. After all, crying wouldn't solve any problems.

Qin Huairu's sad answer slightly eased Jia Zhang's doubts, but the seeds of suspicion were already deeply buried in her heart.

Jia Zhang decided to pay more attention to Qin Huairu's every move in the future, hoping that it had nothing to do with Yi Zhonghai as Qin Huairu said, otherwise the consequences...

Yi Zhonghai felt completely humiliated after being severely beaten by Xu's father and son, and was extremely depressed.

Soon, he came to the deaf old lady's house, intending to seek her help.

When Yi Zhonghai walked into the deaf old lady's house, he accidentally saw her treating the wounds on her hands, which made him pause slightly, and he wondered why the deaf old lady was injured.

Faced with this situation, Yi Zhonghai became even more curious about the identity of this deaf old lady.

In the past two days, the deaf old lady has been staying at home in the courtyard. She asked Yi Zhonghai to bring her food and then she could leave. She even wrapped her injured hand tightly so that he could not tell anything.

This was the first time he actually saw the deaf old lady's hands.

When she saw Yi Zhonghai coming in, she was also stunned. She instinctively looked down at her hands, then narrowed her eyes, and her gaze suddenly became cold and sharp.

Oh no, Yi Zhonghai saw me changing the dressing, my identity might be exposed!

Yi Zhonghai was about to speak when he was suddenly sucked in front of the old lady by a force that came from nowhere. Her chicken claw-like hand suddenly grabbed his throat.

“What a pity!…”

The huge force coming from his neck frightened Yi Zhonghai instantly, and cold sweat covered his whole body. He hurriedly said, "Wait! Old lady! No matter who you are, I regard you as my biological mother! Really, I have always respected you and treated you like my biological mother!"

Oh my god, what is the origin of this deaf old lady? Why did she suddenly become so scary! How did she get her neck controlled? I have no idea at all!

Looking at the cold expression of the deaf old lady, he felt deeply that death was very close to him.

After all, the deaf old lady had been devastated by the loss of her son, and Yi Zhonghai's affectionate words still touched her.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's familiar face, the deaf old lady seemed to see the shadow of her own son... She thought of Yi Zhonghai's care and love for her, her heart softened, and she slowly loosened her hand.

Yi Zhonghai, who escaped death, was extremely grateful for his quick wit. He breathed in deep gulps of fresh air and couldn't help coughing violently.

The deaf old lady glanced at him and said calmly: "Why, what do you want to talk to me about today?"

Then, Yi Zhonghai described in detail what happened today and complained: "I think Xu Fugui and his son are too arrogant! Please help me think of a way to deal with them!"

Yi Zhonghai's tone was full of anger and determination for revenge.

Upon hearing this, the deaf old lady pondered for a moment and waved to Yi Zhonghai to come over.

After Yi Zhonghai approached, she said, "You can go to the Military Control Office to report Xu Fugui, because he does not fulfill his responsibility as a master to manage the courtyard and maintain the harmony of the villagers in the courtyard. He is like a turtle who does not deal with any problems in the courtyard!"

These words were like a beacon in the darkness, illuminating Yi Zhonghai's lost path.

"That's right, old lady, you are really resourceful!" After saying that, Yi Zhonghai went straight to the Military Control Office to expose Xu Fugui's affairs.

Soon after, the military control office and Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard together. The clerk smiled and said to Yi Zhonghai, "We can't just listen to you. Let's first check with each resident in the courtyard to see if it's true!"

The people from the Military Control Office began to question and happened to meet Aunt Liu.

"Hello! Sorry to bother you! How is Xu Fugui, the master of this courtyard, doing?"

This made Yi Zhonghai feel that the world was really small, and it was such a coincidence that even Aunt Liu was present.

Since that day when Xu Fugui replaced Yi Zhonghai as the boss of the courtyard, everyone's life has become much more comfortable than before, and there are no longer those insignificant and lengthy courtyard-wide meetings.

At this moment, Aunt Liu also answered frankly, because all this did make life at home better.

"The new uncle Xu Fugui manages our hospital very well!"

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, the smile on his face suddenly became stiff. Why was this answer different from what he expected?

When Yi Zhonghai was the boss in the courtyard, he always acted arrogantly, thinking that he was the only moral model and everyone else was a despicable villain. He always regarded the residents in the courtyard as his opponents.

Now when the residents in the courtyard saw that it was Yi Zhonghai who came with the staff of the Military Control Office, they easily guessed his purpose.

So everyone started to confront each other.

The military control office staff then asked other residents and received consistent feedback that the problem of "only occupying positions but not fulfilling duties" as described by Yi Zhonghai did not occur.

The military control officer looked at Yi Zhonghai, causing cold sweat to break out on his swollen face again. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Please listen to my explanation..."

The military control officer interrupted him: "Yi Zhonghai, stop talking! There has always been something wrong with your behavior! You don't want to think about your own problems, but instead often use a magnifying glass to find other people's problems! This is where your thinking is wrong! Now you even report others unreasonably!"

Now Yi Zhonghai's plan to report Xu Fugui was completely ruined.

……

He Yuzhu slept until almost dusk and after waking up he planned to go to the tavern to take a look.

On his way to the pub, two familiar faces appeared in front of him. They were Fan Jinyou and Chen Xueru!

Yet something seemed amiss.

Chen Xueru said coldly: "Fan Jinyou, I've told you many times, don't bother me! I'm leaving, don't come to me again!"

After saying this, Chen Xueru wanted to bypass Fan Jinyou and leave.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Fan Jinyou boldly grabbed Chen Xueru's arms and confessed in a self-proclaimed charming manner: "Xueru, you must know that I really love you..."

Chen Xueru resisted hard but failed to break free of Fan Jinyou's hand. In a hurry, she shouted angrily: "Please let me go!"

He Yuzhu immediately stepped forward, gently pushed Fan Jin away, and protected Chen Xueru behind him.

If he had not used only a little force, Fan Jin might have been pushed several meters away. Despite this, he still took several steps back before stopping.

"Why is it you again, He Yuzhu!"

"Don't you already have a wife? How dare you compete with me for Chen Xueru!"

He Yuzhu's eyes were full of ridicule, and he fought back without hesitation: "Who do you think you are? I don't want to be as dirty as someone like you!"

"Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror? Are you worthy of pursuing Chen Xueru?"

"Do I really need to compete with you for this? It would be strange if Chen Xueru would be interested in someone like you!"

Fan Jinyou wanted to fight back, but he saw He Yuzhu's face suddenly turned gloomy: "Get out of here! If you stay in my sight for three seconds, I will beat you to death!"

Recalling He Yuzhu's powerful fighting ability, Fan Jinyou was instantly deflated and left in shame.

He Yuzhu turned around and looked at Chen Xueru behind him, and said with concern: "Okay, it's okay, he's gone!"

Chen Xueru stared at him blankly, her eyes red as she said, "Zhu Zi, luckily you are here..."
