Siheyuan: I live next door to Xu Damao, my last name is Cao

Yi Zhonghai looked embarrassed, as if he had been slapped in public.

He felt that his authority was greatly challenged, and his heart was burning with rage, like a volcano about to erupt, but he couldn't get angry and could only hold it in.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, even if I am no longer the master, my prestige in the courtyard is still there after so many years. I am here to bear witness for the good of the courtyard. I am not like some people who only care about fighting for power and profit and ignore the harmony of the courtyard."

Liu Haizhong sneered, "Hey, Lao Yi, don't flatter yourself. You've been dismissed, why are you still acting so arrogant? Lao Yan and I are enough for this matter of witnesses, so don't get involved and don't get in the way here."

Xu Damao and Sha Zhu stood aside feeling a little embarrassed, like two children who had done something wrong. They didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Sha Zhu frowned and said, "My two lords, let's not quarrel about this. This is all for our sake of reconciliation. Let's all calm down. Let's not turn a good thing into a bad thing."

Xu Damao also echoed: "Yes, yes, it's a good thing. Let's not make the atmosphere awkward. Everyone calm down."

He was secretly laughing in his heart, the fight between these uncles would be more beneficial to his subsequent plans, the more chaotic it was, the better, just like it was easier to fish in muddy waters.

Yi Zhonghai glared at Liu Haizhong, his eyes seemed to see through him: "Don't worry about it, I will take care of today's matter. I want to see how some people try to cover up the truth, I won't let you succeed."

Liu Haizhong was not to be outdone: "Old Yi, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. Today, I am the only witness and you are not. Don't try to get involved."

The atmosphere in the yard suddenly became tense, like the oppressive feeling before a storm. The scene was so quiet that only the heavy breathing of a few people could be heard.

At this time, Yan Bugui, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Okay, stop arguing. Let's not talk about the witnesses first, let's discuss how to hold the whole institute meeting. After all, this is the business, let's not mess it up at this critical moment. If we mess up the whole institute meeting, it will be embarrassing for everyone."

Liu Haizhong felt that as a big boss, he should definitely host the event himself. This was a great opportunity to consolidate his position, and he must not let Yi Zhonghai get a piece of the pie.

He was secretly pleased with himself, like a cat that had stolen some meat, thinking that this meeting of the whole institute was a good opportunity for him to consolidate his position and let everyone in the institute see his ability and authority.

As for Yi Zhonghai, he felt that Yi Zhonghai should stay where he wanted and not join in the fun here. There was nothing for him to do here.

Sha Zhu frowned slightly and said seriously, "My dear uncles, I know the situation is a bit complicated now, but Uncle Yi Zhonghai is like a relative to me. For so many years, he has been taking care of us in the courtyard. Even though he is not an uncle now, the affection is still there. This time Xu Damao and I reconciled. With him here, it is a kind of respect for the past friendship, and it can also let everyone see the harmony in our courtyard. Moreover, Xu Damao's father must come as well. These two elders, together with the two of you, will be witnesses for us."

Sha Zhu looked at everyone with a firm gaze and continued, "Our courtyard is like a big family. Over the years, there has been a lot of trouble because of the matter between Xu Damao and me. I really don't want the relationship in the courtyard to get worse because of this reconciliation. With more witnesses, the reconciliation will have more weight, and it will also make the men, women, and aunts in the courtyard more convinced. I just hope that this time we can wipe out all the grudges from the past, and there will be no more quarrels and calculations in our courtyard in the future. Everyone can live in harmony and happiness. How wonderful it is!"

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he swept his eyes across the faces of several uncles one by one, his eyes full of expectation, hoping that they could understand his thoughts.

Yi Zhonghai listened to Sha Zhu's words and nodded slightly. He looked at Liu Haizhong with a hint of provocation, as if to say, "Look, the eyes of the masses are sharp, and you can't cover the sky with one hand. My position in the hospital is not something you can easily shake."

Although Liu Haizhong was extremely reluctant, seeing everyone's attitude, he could not forcefully object and could only hum as a sign of his agreement.

Finally, the matter was settled and there was a temporary result.

Liu Haizhong's face was dark. He turned around and ordered his two sons, "Go, notify everyone in the courtyard to hold a general meeting. Hurry up!"

His voice was low and authoritative, with an unquestionable tone.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu looked at each other and felt their father's low pressure, just like they felt the prelude to a storm. They didn't dare to say much and hurried to inform everyone.

Liu Guangfu, the youngest son of Liu Haizhong, asked hesitantly, "Dad, what is this meeting about?" His eyes were full of curiosity, and he didn't understand why a meeting of the entire school was suddenly held.

Liu Haizhong glared at him impatiently, his eyes looked like he wanted to eat someone: "Just go when I tell you to, why are you talking so much nonsense! Sha Zhu and Xu Damao want to reconcile in front of everyone in the hospital. Such a big thing, everyone has to be a witness. Don't waste time, go!"

The two sons didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurried to inform them.

Liu Guangtian ran towards the front yard, shouting as he ran: "It's time for a meeting of the whole courtyard! It's time for a meeting of the whole courtyard! Sha Zhu and Xu Damao want to reconcile, everyone gather in the middle of the courtyard!"

His voice echoed in the front yard, breaking the original tranquility.

As for Liu Guangfu, he shouted towards the backyard, "Stop working! There's an important meeting today. Everyone has to go!"

When the people in the yard heard the shouts, they stopped what they were doing and looked surprised, as if they had heard the most incredible news in the world.

Someone asked: "What? Sha Zhu and Xu Damao reconciled? The sun is rising from the west?"

Another person responded: "Who cares? Just go and see. It's a really rare thing. Maybe there will be something interesting to watch."

For a moment, the whole yard became lively. Everyone walked towards the center of the yard, guessing how this conference would develop. Various speculations came one after another, like a lively market.

While everyone was not paying attention, Xu Damao quietly pulled his father over and whispered a few words in his ear. There was a sinister light in his eyes, like a ghost fire flickering in the dark.

His father frowned and seemed hesitant, as if he was making a difficult decision, but after Xu Damao's repeated persuasion, he nodded, as if he was dragged into a dark plan.
