Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 18 A Well-received Plenary Meeting

When Yang Ning heard that Jia Zhang had been transferred to the public security bureau, he knew that his previous guess was probably correct.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet. The purpose of today's meeting is to discuss what happened between Jia Zhang and the Yang family today."

"It's terrible. The streets have repeatedly stressed the need to quit smoking and prohibit the sale of opium, but some people have turned a deaf ear to it and are actually smoking in their homes in broad daylight, bringing darkness to the government streets and our compound."

Liu Haizhong was holding a manuscript prepared by someone unknown, and it looked quite presentable.

At this time, He Yuzhu started to make a noise: "Second Uncle, if you think it's not possible in the daytime, then is it okay at night?"

"Haha~"

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, everyone burst into laughter, which made the second uncle who had just come up very angry.

"Silly Zhu, you must keep quiet when the leader is speaking. If you have any questions, you must raise your hand first and ask for permission. You can only ask after getting our approval. If everyone is like you, can this meeting still be held?"

"What level of leader is the Second Master?"

Seeing that there was something exciting to watch, Xu Damao stood up and asked the second uncle, not caring about his usual conflict with He Yuzhu.

"Ok?"

Liu Haizhong was stunned by the question. What rank does Second Uncle have? To put it bluntly, they are just having fun to soothe his fragile heart that cannot become a leader.

"Idiot, why are you shooting here instead of talking about business first?"

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Liu Haizhong who was snorting and cursed in his heart.

"Okay, your uncle just said the wrong thing, now we have to pay attention to MZ."

Yi Zhonghai quickly took over the topic. If Liu Haizhong continued talking, he might not be able to get to the point tomorrow.

"I have gathered everyone here today because I hope everyone will learn from the Jia Zhang family's story and not bully the weak. We are all neighbors in the same courtyard, so we should respect the old and love the young."

Everyone nodded after hearing this. After all, respecting the elderly and loving the young is our traditional virtue for thousands of years.

Seeing that everyone agreed with his point of view, Yi Zhonghai smiled.

But Yang Ning felt that this was not right. Yi Zhonghai and Lao Deng were avoiding the important issues.

What is bullying the weak? To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of a few pieces of candy, but Jia Zhang's biggest problem is not bullying the weak, but smoking opium. Could it be that Lao Deng wants to suppress this matter by using the method he is best at in many fan fictions?
That would be really interesting if that were true.

After figuring it out, Yang Ning was no longer in a hurry. He wanted to see what powerful means Yi Zhonghai had to bring the matter that had been transferred to the public security department back to the hospital.

Giving his father, who was about to say something, a calming look, Yang Ning just sat there watching Yi Zhonghai's performance.

Is Yi Zhonghai stupid? Of course not.

But why did he do this?
Yang Ning could guess something about it. It was performed for some people. These people included not only Jia Dongxu and his wife, but also everyone present.

You see, we, the uncles, are doing our best to deal with such a big matter as Jia Zhang, so can we also take care of the big and small matters in the courtyard in the future? Otherwise, we are not appreciative of good people.

Yang Ning guessed that Yi Zhonghai might be eager for Jia Zhang to eat peanuts. In this way, he could get a ready-made son for free, and also have a daughter-in-law, a grandson, and so on.

One brings two, so happy!

But he couldn't be so direct. He had to let Jia Dongxu's family know the efforts he had made.

Although he knew it was useless, it at least showed that he really valued his disciple Jia Dongxu.

As expected, Yi Zhonghai's next words confirmed Yang Ning's guess. "We are all neighbors, and it is inevitable that there will be some bumps and bruises. It's just a matter of a few pieces of candy. Besides, Yang Liu has already taught Jia Zhang a lesson."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Yang Dagen and said, "Dagen, it is said that enemies should be resolved rather than created. Jia Zhang is still in prison. Can your family issue a letter of forgiveness to see if it can reduce some of Jia Zhang's guilt?"

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, the way everyone looked at him changed, from impatience to respect.

This old man is really good to deal with. He really helps when there is something going on!
"Uncle, this is wrong." Of course, there were also those who were sober, such as the donkey-faced Xu Damao who was sitting next to Yang Ning.

"Everyone knows why Jia Zhang was imprisoned. Is this something that can be resolved with a letter of apology?"

"Besides, Erguai was crying loudly at the time, like a pig being slaughtered. Whoever's child is the one, everyone loves him. Even though you are the boss of the courtyard, you can't force the Yang family to issue this letter of understanding!"

"You killed your pig when it was so young?" Yang Ning thought Xu Damao was still sober at first, but when he heard him say that Erguai was like a pig, he immediately laughed and scolded.

"Xu Damao, why are you everywhere?" The second uncle, who had just been embarrassed by Xu Damao, became angry. He slammed the table, stood up, glared at Xu Damao and scolded him.

"Second uncle, isn't what my Damao said wrong?" Seeing Liu Haizhong looking for trouble with his son, Xu Damao's father became unhappy, stood up and asked Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong dared to put on airs in front of Xu Damao, but he still felt a little scared when he saw Xu Fugui's sinister eyes.

After all, this guy is black and who knows when he will give you a ruthless blow.

This kind of person may not be able to accomplish anything, but he is definitely good at doing bad things.

I haven't become a leader yet, so I have to be patient with him for now.

"Don't stand up if you're that cowardly." Yi Zhonghai cursed in his heart as he looked at Liu Haizhong who was being controlled again.

Can Jia Zhang be released without any problems just based on a letter of forgiveness from the Yang family?

Please, that's just a letter of understanding, not an imperial edict.

How could I not know that the thing was useless? I had to let my apprentice know how hard I was working for his family.

"This letter of understanding we..."

Yang Dagen was about to stand up and refuse, but Yang Ning, who knew Yi Zhonghai's plan, pulled him back.

"Sign or not?"

At this time, Yang Dagen made a big turn and turned the negative sentence into a question sentence.

He looked down at his boss in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

哄～
"Da Gen, you almost sprained my waist."

"That's right, don't breathe so hard when you speak, my heart can't take it!"

Everyone looked at Yang Dagen's confused expression and laughed.

"Our family has issued the letter of understanding." At this time Yang Ning stood up. Since he understood Yi Zhonghai's plan, he might as well follow his wish and tie him and Jia Dongxu together completely to avoid harming others.

"Okay, Ningzi is generous. When Dongxu comes back, I will ask him to apologize to you."

Seeing that Yang Ning agreed so easily, Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Yang Ning with admiration.

Jia Zhang isn't dead yet, but she's already acting like Jia Dongxu's boss. Isn't this a little too obvious?
