It's the New Year's Day, but you are so rude in front of my door. Are you trying to make things difficult for me? His words were full of displeasure.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned grim. He obviously didn't expect Yang Ming to express his dissatisfaction so directly and without any courtesy.

Yang Ming, what do you mean? Yi Zhonghai asked in confusion.

What I mean, you still don't understand? Yang Ming sneered. Do you still need me to explain it to you in detail?

As their argument grew louder, nearby residents gathered around with curiosity.

During this festive New Year, everyone hopes to live in harmony. It is rare to see someone causing such unpleasantness on the first day of the New Year.

However, Yang Ming's hot temper completely broke out at this moment, and he blamed Yi Zhonghai mercilessly.

Seeing more and more people gathered around, Yi Zhonghai seemed to regain some confidence. He tried to ease the atmosphere: Yang Ming, although your family and the Jia family have old grudges, Jia Dongxu is gone, why are you still holding on to it?

What a magnanimous old man! Yang Ming said sarcastically, you want to be a filial son and grandson of the Jia family and see them off to their grave, but please don't drag me down with you!

Is Jia Dongxu your ancestor? Why do you defend him everywhere? Yang Ming sarcastically mocks you, or are you worried?

Worried that no one would worship him after a hundred years, so he looked for a final resting place for himself in advance?

His words were like a sharp blade, piercing Yi Zhonghai's heart.

17 Yi Zhonghai’s face was filled with shame and anger, his lips trembled slightly, but he could not utter a word to refute.

After a while, he managed to calm down and pointed at Yang Ming angrily: You...you are simply...

What's wrong with me? Yang Ming interrupted him. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are the boss? You do nothing all day long, you don't care about what you should care about, but you interfere with things you shouldn't care about, and you even want others to take care of you in your old age!

Don't treat us neighbors as ignorant people! He shouted, I tell you, your wishful thinking is wrong!

These words made the neighbors who were watching nod their heads, expressing their agreement with Yang Ming's outspokenness.

In this traditional courtyard, Yang Ming's words were like a thunderbolt, breaking the original tranquility and stirring up ripples. His words seemed to tear off Yi Zhonghai's hypocritical veil and reveal all the truth to the world.

Although the residents in the courtyard were aware of Yi Zhonghai's calculations, in this complex network of interpersonal relationships,

In the network, most of them chose to protect themselves. After all, without direct interests, no one wanted to easily break up with this seemingly kind elder.

However, Yang Ming stepped forward at this time, and his words were as sharp as a sword, piercing directly into Yi Zhonghai's heart. Everyone cast doubtful eyes at Yi Zhonghai, as if questioning a hypocrite whose true face had been exposed.

Yi Zhonghai's face was red, his breathing was rapid, and anger and shame were intertwined on his face. He tried to defend himself: "Yang Ming, you and I are neighbors, why are you so ruthless? If you are so indifferent, don't you worry that the harmony of this courtyard will be broken?"

At this moment, Jia Zhang suddenly joined the dispute. With tears in her eyes, she began an emotional accusation: "My poor Dongxu, why did you leave so early? Leaving us orphans and widows to be bullied. If you are in heaven, please open your eyes and look at the world!" Her cries and complaints echoed in the yard, adding a bit of eeriness to the originally peaceful courtyard.

The residents in the courtyard were startled by Jia Zhang's sudden accusation, as if they were in a strange atmosphere. Even the bright sunshine could not dispel this strange atmosphere.

Yang Ming watched all this with cold eyes. He said calmly: "Jia Zhang, you are openly promoting superstitious ideas. Yi Zhonghai, as a manager, you not only did not stop it, but participated in it. This behavior is really unbecoming."

As soon as he finished speaking, Director Xu from the Street Office walked into the yard angrily. She had obviously witnessed everything that had just happened, including the strange mourning hall and Jia Zhang's crying. She pointed at Yi Zhonghai and scolded him harshly: "Yi Zhonghai, you are really stubborn! As a manager, you not only condone superstition, but also help the tyrants to commit atrocities. You are simply corrupting the social atmosphere!"

Director Xu's rebuke was like a heavy hammer that hit Yi Zhonghai's heart, causing him to lose all his momentum in an instant. He knew that he had really caused a big disaster this time.

In particular, the other party does not only represent his personal identity, but also the authority and power given by the entire street office!

This kind of punishment from the official level was also a devastating blow to Yi Zhonghai! "Director Xu, please allow me to explain in detail..."

"No need,"

"You don't have to waste your breath!"

Director Xu was obviously tired of Yi Zhonghai's explanation, and he waved his hand to interrupt Yi Zhonghai.

"From today on, you will no longer be the person in charge here!" This sentence was undoubtedly the final verdict on Yi Zhonghai! After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's body trembled slightly and his face turned pale instantly! As for the people present, after hearing Director Xu's decision, they all had different ideas in their minds.

Especially Liu Haizhong, who was feeling as happy as a spring breeze. He had never expected that the position of person in charge that he had always dreamed of would fall upon him so easily.

Since Yi Zhonghai was dismissed, wouldn't it be natural for him to become the authority in this courtyard? At this moment, Director Xu turned his gaze to Yang Ming.

"Now that Yi Zhonghai has been removed from his position as the person in charge, there is still a vacancy that needs to be filled."

"Yang Ming, are you interested in this position?"

Facing Director Xu's question, Yang Ming shook his head without hesitation.

"Director Xu, thank you for your kindness."

"But the current factory affairs have kept me busy and I really have no time to take care of the trivial matters here." Director Xu nodded in agreement and did not force it.

He also understood that Courtyard No. 95 was different from other places and that all kinds of troubles often occurred there. Otherwise, Director Xu would not have repeatedly tolerated Yi Zhonghai's mistakes without punishing him.

In fact, it is not easy to find a suitable person for this position. To put it bluntly, the person in charge is just a role set up by the street office to assist in managing the daily affairs of the courtyard, and does not have much substantive power.

Only someone who is as keen on power as Liu Haizhong would be so eager for this position.

Liu Haizhong's mood at this moment was like a turbulent sea. After all, he thought the position of the person in charge was already in his pocket. However, Director Xu actually considered giving it to Yang Ming.
