Chapter 435 The Growing Pains of a Shifting Power Structure
"Oh, right, Teacher Yan, there's something I need to make clear to you first, just in case something goes wrong and turns a good thing into a bad thing."

They'd already reached the door.

I felt that with Yan Bugui's penchant for taking advantage of others, he might do something unnecessary.

Ximen Lang still spoke up to remind him.

"Here's the thing, it'll be a while, maybe a week at most, or just a couple of days. The neighborhood committee and the street office will definitely start working on this. Once the child has eaten, that's fine. You can't try to take advantage of this and let the child eat more, or try to cheat the neighborhood committee and the street office."

"Although this thing is called a sugar pill and tastes like candy, and it is indeed very delicious, medicine is medicine. What goes into your mouth must not be taken care of! The intervals between doses and the total number of doses must be strictly followed! We cannot take advantage of this! Do you understand what I mean?"

After hearing this earnest and heartfelt advice, Yan Bugui's face immediately turned embarrassed.

It turns out that he actually wanted to take advantage of this!
He couldn't hold back any longer; this time, Ximen Lang really couldn't hold back anymore!
"No way, Teacher Yan, you're actually going to take advantage of this?! I already told you, this is medicine, not candy! Don't you understand the principle that medicine is three parts poison? You're an educated person! No, you shouldn't be so greedy for small gains, right?"

Yan Bugui was so embarrassed he couldn't stand it anymore.

Even Yang Ruihua, the elderly woman standing to the side, was utterly speechless!
Especially after Aunt Yang started working and became genuinely proud of her job.

I am utterly disgusted by Yan Bugui's behavior!
The pride unique to the working class was something she couldn't accept, so she pointed at Yan Bugui's nose and started cursing.

"Old Yan, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person! It's one thing if you were frugal and lived thriftily normally. But you even tried to take advantage of public resources in this matter."

"What's most infuriating is that you didn't even care about the child's safety just to gain a little advantage! Let me tell you, Lao Yan, if you continue like this, I won't stand for it! If you really dare to do this, I'll go to the neighborhood committee, the street office, and our trade union to report you! I'll expose your ugly behavior and let everyone see your despicable face!"

Good heavens! His righteous and stern criticism left not only Yan Bugui speechless, but also Ximen Lang and Bai Ling astonished!

They were wondering if this was the same Aunt Yang they knew, who, like Yan Bugui, loved to take advantage of others. Could a decent job really bring about such a big change in a person?
With a heavy sigh, Aunt Yang took Ximen Lang and Bai Ling's hands and stood there feeling annoyed.

"Sigh, to be honest, I'm partly to blame for how he turned out this way. It's all my fault for not correcting or stopping him when I first discovered his tendency to take advantage of others!"

"I thought it would benefit my own family anyway, but alas! Of course, another reason is that I don't have a job, I have no income, and I don't have the confidence to speak up! After all, my whole family depends on his salary, and I depend on him for food."

"I'm afraid if I say too much, he'll get angry and take his anger out on me, so... But ultimately it's my fault, it's both of our fault! So, in order to prevent him from making the same mistake again, I still need to talk to our factory director, Director Wang!"

"Before he's beyond redemption, let Director Wang give him a good talking-to and help him completely get rid of this bad habit, so he won't embarrass me and make me look bad too!"

Ximen Lang and Bai Ling were both dumbfounded!

Yan Bugui was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet!
Oh no, Aunt Yang is actually serious!

She really wanted to go to Director Wang and complain about Yan Bugui!
He couldn't hold back any longer; Ximen Lang had completely lost his composure!

Together with Teacher Yan and Bai Ling, they quickly stopped Aunt Yang, who was about to leave to complain.

They were trying to persuade her.
"No, really not. Aunt Wang is very busy. Let's not bother her with such a small matter."

He quickly gave Yan Bugui a meaningful look, urging him to admit his mistake!
After a thorough self-examination, the group finally gave up on Aunt Yang's idea of ​​complaining to Director Wang.

How could they dare to linger any longer at Yan Bugui's house, which was already in complete chaos?
They took off running as fast as they could. After exchanging a glance with Bai Ling, the two of them disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He ran all the way to the Intermediate People's Court, and seeing that Aunt Yang and the others had stopped chasing him and causing any more trouble, Ximen Lang patted his chest in relief and sighed.

"Aunt Yang is too fierce! Although I know she's doing it for the good of the family, this is just too much."

"What's wrong? Isn't it fine?"

"Are you serious?"

"Of course. As the saying goes, 'A family with a son who speaks frankly will not ruin its family, and a country with a minister who speaks frankly will not perish'! The same applies to a family with a wife who speaks frankly!"

"Like our family, if I weren't here reminding you every day, you would have long since wandered off somewhere, and who knows what kind of mess you would have made of this house!"

"Oh?! So if that's the case, and we don't listen to you, our family will go bankrupt?!"

Bai Ling could clearly sense Ximen Lang's dissatisfaction with her words.

But what can you do if you're dissatisfied?
She was telling the truth!

If it weren't for her constantly cleaning up Ximen Lang's messes and giving him a good thrashing, given Ximen Lang's tendency to get carried away with any kind of praise, he would have gone completely mad long ago!

How could things have remained peaceful until now?

Therefore, without any hesitation, Bai Ling immediately said something.

"It's hard to tell!"

After saying that, seeing that Ximen Lang was furious, he immediately started looking for a suitable weapon all over the yard.

He promptly replied.

"Alright, stop fooling around."

This immediately silenced Ximen Lang's temper.

Bai Ling then confessed.

"Honestly, I really think Aunt Yang is a good person. If all the older women in the neighborhood were as reasonable, value honor, and have such noble personal qualities as Aunt Yang..."

"Our courtyard will definitely have a completely new look, and it will be so harmonious! When that time comes, our courtyard will truly be filled with warmth and love!"

It really is.

If every family had someone as sensible as Aunt Yang, over time, their lives would definitely be much better than others!

However, this painful period of change in the power structure is not easy to endure.

Sure enough, no sooner had Bai Ling finished speaking than Jia Dongxu and his wife, who were considered a model couple in the courtyard and even the entire street, started arguing.
