Siheyuan: After I moved in, the compound became a mess

Is Yi Zhonghai going to step down as the manager?

Liu Haizhong's expression froze as he held the cigarette in his mouth. He turned his head and looked at Wang Dabao in disbelief.

Just now, a few people in the backyard were still planning how to make Yi Zhonghai give up his position voluntarily, but they didn't expect that Sha Zhu's punches would have an unexpected effect.

For Liu Haizhong, this was a huge surprise, as it had been his long-cherished wish.

The perennial No. 2 finally got his chance to become a regular employee, and he was just one step away from sitting on the throne of the boss he had always dreamed of.

Xu Damao said "Hey" and stared at Yi Zhonghai with wide eyes, wanting to confirm that he had not heard wrongly.

Before, Xu Damao had never thought about being the third uncle of a compound. First, his age was there, and he was a little young. Second, even if he wanted to take the position, no one would nominate him, and everyone would not accept him.

But now it’s different. In the backyard, Wang Dabao proposed the slogan of employing young cadres, which hit Xu Damao’s heart at once!

Isn't this a coincidence? Xu Damao thought that except for the feud with Sha Zhu, he was quite united and friendly with other neighbors in the compound.

Especially the third uncle Yan Bugui in the front yard. When he went to the countryside to show movies in the past, he would often take advantage of the mountain products given by various communes.

Xu Damao saw that Wang Dabao had no interest in the position of the third uncle.

Not only was he not interested, he also strongly recommended Xu Damao to take the position, which really touched his heart. After Wang Dabao's lobbying, Liu Haizhong also agreed to his suggestion of becoming the acting Third Uncle.

There is even less of a problem with Yan Bugui, it’s just a matter of saying hello.

Xu Damao took two big sips of the cigarette, feeling so happy. He glanced at Sha Zhu and planned that when he became the third uncle, he would kill Sha Zhu first, or at least drive him out of the compound.

Wang Dabao was also quite surprised to hear that Yi Zhonghai was going to step down as the first uncle.

However, no one in this compound can understand Yi Zhonghai as well as Wang Dabao, a "veteran".

Yi Zhonghai's hypocritical nature can be seen from the fact that he bowed to everyone just now, and many things can also reflect that he has a strong desire for control. The importance of the manager to him is self-evident.

Would such a person easily give up the power in his hands? !

Wang Dabao was sure that Yi Zhonghai had lost the label of being an unscrupulous boss, and within two days someone in the compound would dare to call him Yi Juehu.

The person who was most impacted by Yi Zhonghai's resignation as the first uncle was Jia Dongxu.

The reason why the Jia family could live such a life in the compound was entirely thanks to Yi Zhonghai, including the convenience brought by his identity as the head uncle.

Yi Zhonghai's indifference just now was enough to make Jia Dongxu tremble with fear. Now Yi Zhonghai was about to lose his position as the manager. Jia Dongxu suddenly felt that the sky above his head was about to collapse.

Without Yi Zhong's protection, the Jia family would be bullied to death in the compound. Let alone anything else, he would be sad just for having to deal with Sha Zhu today.

"Master, this kind of thing is not something you can joke about!"

Jia Dongxu rolled and crawled to Yi Zhonghai, pushed Yan Bugui aside, and personally supported him. Then he looked at the residents of the compound and said, "Don't take my master's words seriously. My master has put so much effort into the unity of our compound over the years. How could he allow others to destroy it!"

The deaf old lady was also anxious, and she trembled as she moved forward with her crutches: "Zhong Hai, you must not be confused. How can you survive without this compound?"

"The neighbors have seen your efforts over the years, and everyone follows your slogan of respecting the elderly and loving the young, and unity and friendship."

"You can't just quit when things don't go your way. If you back down when you encounter difficulties, people will laugh at you for being irresponsible."

The deaf old lady took two small steps forward after saying this, and now she was almost in front of Yi Zhonghai.

Her idea was very simple. She must not let Yi Zhonghai step down, and she would put him in a position even if she had to.

Apart from anything else, once Yi Zhonghai falls, the neighbors whom she has bullied for so many years by relying on Yi Zhonghai's power will never let her go easily.

Even though she is an old lady who is about to die, some people in the hospital will remember her for the rest of their lives for the things she has done.

Today she is the ancestor of the compound, but tomorrow someone might give her a push every time she crosses the threshold.

Sha Zhu quietly pulled the deaf old lady. He didn't want Yi Zhonghai to sit back in the position of the boss and call the shots. He was not afraid, but he just felt disgusted when he saw it.

"Master, the old lady is right. The compound is what it is today thanks to your years of hard work. How can you just ignore it and not care about it?"

Jia Dongxu was so anxious that his head was covered with sweat. "If you don't act like a great boss, who in this compound has the ability to do this? It will be a mess!"

"Yes, Lao Yi, are you determined not to work with me and Lao Liu or what?!" Yan Bugui kept blinking his eyes beside him, and then changed the subject, "It's not that the compound can't do without you, but we have been mediating conflicts in the compound together for so many years, and we are really not used to it without you."

Yi Zhonghai shook his head slightly and pulled his arm out of Jia Dongxu's hand.

"It's not that I don't want to be the manager, it's just that I have let everyone down before and everyone has complaints about me. I don't have the face to stay in this position any longer!"

Yi Zhonghai sighed deeply, "But I can assure the neighbors in the compound that the reason why I, Yi Zhonghai, favor the Jia family is because Brother Jia passed away early, and my sister-in-law had a hard time raising the children. She had no food to eat, and I felt bad seeing that!"

"At that time, the street had not yet appointed a mediator in the compound, and there was no such thing as a "man in charge". At that time, I was helping the Jia family. I didn't want anything else, I just wanted to make myself feel better."

Yi Zhonghai paused for a moment, and seeing that the neighbors in the yard were listening attentively, he continued speaking.

"Later, I was recommended by the neighborhood office and the neighbors in the courtyard to be the manager. But because I was used to helping the Jia family, I didn't feel anything. It was Sha Zhu's words today that really gave me a wake-up call!"

"I still have to thank Shazhu. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have realized that I made such a big mistake."

"So when Shazhu attacked me, I can only say that he beat me well and beautifully. It was this beating that woke me up and made me realize my mistake!"

Yi Zhonghai took two steps forward, took a deep breath, and bowed to the neighbors in the yard again. His sincere attitude made the sky in the east gradually turn pale.

"I sincerely apologize to all the neighbors. I, Yi Zhonghai, have let you down before. Please don't hold it against me for the sake of my hard work for the compound. I am very upset that I can no longer serve you. So, I will go back first."

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai bent over, spread his legs, and staggered towards the door of his home as if he was carrying a mountain on his back.
