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

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's back as he turned and left, many residents began to murmur in the yard.

"You say this Old Yi, if he hadn't relied on the fact that he was Jia Dongxu's apprentice, that old woman Jia Zhang wouldn't have been so arrogant in the compound. She would definitely tell on anyone she didn't like. Last year, she even gave me a cold look, as if she was an old lady."

"Jia Zhang is much more impressive than Auntie Yi. Auntie Yi is a nice person. She'll lend a hand if she needs any help. But forget about Jia Zhang. It's good enough if she doesn't laugh at you."

"It's all because of Yi Zhonghai's spoiling them over the years. If it weren't for his support, how could Jia Zhangshi, Jia Dongxu, and his little brat walk around the yard so arrogantly?"

"But then again, it's not easy for his uncle either. The bad thing is that he is sentimental. It's a pity to give up the steward for the sake of the Jia family. By the way, last winter, when my husband and I had a conflict, it was his uncle who came to mediate between us."

"Who says it's not true? Yi Zhonghai, who helped the Jia family, is indeed hateful, but apart from the Jia family, he has also done a lot of practical things for the compound and has really made contributions."

"It's just that I realized it too late. If I hadn't been so biased towards the Jia family, I wouldn't have attracted so much resentment from everyone. Even Sha Zhu, who has a good relationship with him, couldn't stand it, so he took action!"

"Hehe, let me tell you, now that Yi Zhonghai has given up his position as the boss, you should all be happy. If he is allowed to continue to be the boss, I guarantee you he will still be the same, talking about morality but doing nothing in private."

Listening to the discussion of the neighbors, Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao looked unhappy.

It seems that in the eyes of these residents, Yi Zhonghai has no other shortcomings except that he favors the Jia family.

"Dabao, what do you think Yi Zhonghai means?

Xu Damao took out a cigarette and gave one to Wang Dabao and Liu Haizhong. He didn't even look at the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

Liu Guangtian glared at Xu Damao, then silently took out his own economical cigarette and handed one to his brother.

Xu Damao's words also attracted Liu Haizhong's attention, "Yes, brother Dabao, I am a little confused after hearing what Lao Yi said."

"Be confused, that's all right."

Wang Dabao smiled and leaned on the windowsill of Sha Zhu's house. "Yi Zhonghai doesn't mean to give up his position. It's just that things have come to this point, and he has to show his attitude and let everyone know that Yi Zhonghai doesn't care about the position of the eldest master, and he doesn't miss it. He just regrets that he can no longer worry about things for everyone in the future."

Liu Guangtian's nose twitched, and he glanced at Yi Zhonghai's back, "This bastard is a cunning fellow, saying what his grandfather says but does what his grandson does."

"Yes."

Liu Guangfu followed behind his second brother and echoed him.

After listening to Wang Dabao's explanation, Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong were even more confused. Yi Zhonghai had clearly said that he would step down as the first uncle. It was not something he could do whenever he wanted or not!

One moment you said you didn't want to do it, and then you told everyone you still wanted to be the boss, so everyone stopped wanting to do it.

This is just a joke.

Wang Dabao saw the confused expressions on the two people's faces, but he didn't point it out. He pointed at Yi Zhonghai who was walking slowly home and said, "Don't be anxious, the real show hasn't started yet!"

"What's the show?"

Xu Damao pouted his mouth so much that his mustache was almost parallel to his lips. "You're still taking so long. Auntie at home must be crying."

Liu Haizhong snorted coldly: "I want to see why Yi Zhonghai is still clinging to his position as the master and won't move."

As they were talking, they heard a cry coming from Yi Zhonghai's side.

"Master, you can't leave. What will happen to this compound without you? You have been working hard for the compound for so many years. No one will trust you if someone else comes."

Jia Dongxu chased after him, crying and yelling. When he reached Yi Zhonghai, he knelt down with a plop. In panic, he stretched out his hands to hug Yi Zhonghai's thighs, "Master, it's Dongxu who is sorry for you. I will behave well in the compound in the future. I will also talk to my mother and will never make things difficult for you."

After two minutes of brainstorming, Jia Dongxu finally figured it out. No matter what, Yi Zhonghai's position as the eldest uncle must be kept and must not be lost so easily.

As long as Yi Zhonghai is still the uncle, he has the responsibility and obligation to help his family.

If Yi Zhonghai no longer serves as the manager and abandons his family, it will be the end of him. No matter what Sha Zhu says, he is Yi Zhonghai's son, and he, Jia Dongxu, is not as confused as the old lady and will definitely not believe it.

"Zhong Hai, my words are no longer effective, right? Everyone has advised you this way, why can't you think about the neighbors in the compound?"

The deaf old lady didn't have many teeth left in her mouth, but she spoke fluently at this time, and her cane knocked hard, "You must not just ignore the affairs of the compound, or I, the ancestor, will die under this pillar."

The deaf old lady became more and more excited as she spoke, and she picked up her cane and pointed at the cloister pillars in front of Shazhu's house.

Only after hearing the deaf old lady's words did Yi Zhonghai stop struggling.

Jia Dongxu, who was clinging to Yi Zhonghai, also breathed a sigh of relief, secretly sighing that the old ones are still the most experienced. The old lady threatened to die, so he believed that this time it shouldn't be a bad idea.

"Hey, old lady, what are you doing? Don't get involved in this matter. Go and persuade the old lady."

Seeing that the deaf old lady was about to die at the door of her house, Sha Zhu became anxious and quickly supported the deaf old lady and took her to Yi Zhonghai's house.

The deaf old lady glared at him and said, "Zhu Zi, let me go. Don't you see what's going on? Can't you tell which is lighter and which is heavier?"

Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong's faces turned dark.

Why did an old lady get involved when he was supposed to abdicate and let someone else take over?

Why are you all trying to persuade me?

Who advised you? It's just you and Jia Dongxu. So you two represent all the residents!

Xu Damao glared at the deaf old lady fiercely, wishing that she would die in front of Sha Zhu's house right now.

"This...Brother Dabao, what should we do now in this situation?" Liu Haizhong was at a loss when he saw Yi Zhonghai stopped. If the other party used the deaf old lady to go back on his word, then the duck in his hand would fly away.

"Go ahead, Lao Liu."

Wang Dabao grabbed Liu Haizhong and said, "Go up and announce that Yi Zhonghai will resign from his position as the mediator of the compound because he feels he has no moral integrity. A general meeting of all staff will be held in the next two days, and everyone will nominate capable people to jointly manage the compound."

"Alas, alas!"

How could Liu Haizhong watch his dream disappear just when it was about to be achieved? He immediately followed Wang Dabao's advice and strode to the center of the yard.

"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."

"The eldest uncle just said that because of the Jia family's affairs, he felt that he owed something to the residents of the compound and he didn't want to serve as the steward uncle anymore. So everyone should stop making things difficult for Old Yi."

Hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Jia Dongxu was stunned. He held Yi Zhonghai's hand tightly and almost made Yi Zhonghai fall.
