Last night, Yan Jiecheng disturbed everyone's peace. To apologize to his neighbors, Yan Bugui had no choice but to reluctantly give up the opportunity to write.
We offer free couplet writing services.
Yan Bugui was heartbroken to lose so many peanuts and melon seeds.
But he really had no other choice.
The neighbors were already showing some consideration for his reputation by blocking his door early every morning to demand debts.
"Old Yan, Happy New Year!"
He Daqing stepped forward to greet him.
"Happy New Year, Great Qing Dynasty."
Come, come, come.
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
I'll write you a couplet, and it'll guarantee you good fortune from the beginning to the end of the year.
After yesterday's incident, Yan Bugui greeted every neighbor in the courtyard with a smile and dared not put on airs.
"Okay, write a nice one for me."
He Daqing stepped forward and, as usual, took out a handful of peanuts and placed them on the table as a reward for his writing.
"Great Qing, there's no need for that."
My family has caused some trouble for the neighborhood this year by writing couplets for everyone free of charge.
Yan Bugui quickly waved his hand in refusal, but his eyes never left the peanuts.
"Just take it."
This is what you deserve.
He Daqing doesn't like to take advantage of others.
Besides, if you take someone's money, you're indebted to them, and it'll be difficult to say anything in the meeting later.
"Then thank you."
Yan Bugui stopped making excuses and quickly and carefully put the peanuts into his pocket.
After working so hard for so long, he finally opened for business today.
With the benefits in hand, Yan Bugui was invigorated. He carefully wrote a couplet and handed it to He Daqing.
"You know my family's situation, Qing Dynasty."
I'd like to resign from my position as the second oldest in the courtyard. What do you think?
The score from last night hadn't been settled yet, and Yan Bugui knew that his second uncle's position was definitely out of reach.
Rather than being forced off the stage by others, it's better to step down yourself and at least save face.
"no problem.
I'll talk to Li Shengli.
Just hold a general meeting of the entire institute and elect a new person in charge.
You can rest now.
The position of manager is always filled by the most capable person.
Yan Bugui lacked the ability to hold his position, so it was only right that he stepped down.
There are many people in the compound who care about the collective, so He Daqing doesn't need to worry about finding a replacement for the Second Uncle.
Just as He Daqing picked up the couplets, he saw Liu Haizhong, dressed in new clothes, stride in from the backyard.
"Yan Bugui, are you still busy writing couplets?"
I'm telling you, this won't work.
Today, you absolutely must step down from your position as the second-in-command.
Chapter 110 Re-electing the Master
After a year of rest, Liu Haizhong has regained his vitality and is back in action.
After witnessing Yan Bugui's dismal performance, Liu Haizhong was full of confidence.
If someone like Yan Bugui can sit in the position of manager, then Liu Haizhong has no problem at all.
He's determined to take the position of the steward.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Yan Bugui lowered his head and did not utter a word in argument.
Yan Bugui didn't care about the position of the steward; he only hoped that Liu Haizhong and the others could give him more time.
This would allow him to catch his breath and slowly compensate his neighbors for their losses.
"Liu Haizhong, on the first day of the new year, say more kind words."
"Don't be so harsh."
Liu Haizhong's arrogant demeanor displeased He Daqing.
He's already this arrogant even before he's officially in charge.
Who knows what kind of trouble they might cause after they take over?
Liu Haizhong is too fond of causing trouble; He Daqing will not support him as the head steward.
"Great Qing Dynasty, I am telling the truth."
See, Yan Bugui didn't refute it.
He knows it very well.
Liu Haizhong let out a hearty laugh and then stomped on Yan Bugui again.
"Yan Bugui, don't worry, I'm a person who values relationships."
"If I were in the position of the manager, I would definitely give you a few more days."
"I have resigned from my position as the head steward."
Old Liu, I wish you success in your election.
Yan Bugui paused for a moment, then slowly loosened his clenched fist and forced a smile.
A tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs. Yan Bugui is now penniless and has no manpower, so he is really unable to make any progress.
However, Yan Bugui is a person who loves to keep accounts.
He wrote down all the humiliations Liu Haizhong had caused him in his notebook.
He'll just wait until the day Liu Haizhong loses power, then he'll get his revenge.
"It's still early, I'll go back and have dinner first."
Let's have lunch first, then we'll have the meeting.
He Daqing ignored Liu Haizhong, took the couplets, and turned to leave.
……
After breakfast, the heads of each household gathered in the central courtyard.
This year's New Year's gathering has been cancelled and replaced with a meeting to address disputes within the hospital.
Many homes still have drafty windows, and people won't be in the mood to play until that's fixed.
As soon as everyone was together, He Daqing immediately stood up and spoke.
"Last night, Yan Bugui's eldest son caused trouble in the yard, smashing windows of many people."
Now, let's hold a meeting to discuss the compensation issues for each household.
Report any losses you may have at home.
"There's a big hole in the middle of my window, and it won't be repaired without tens of thousands of yuan."
"My window is so broken it's unusable, I have to replace it..."
Yan Jiecheng's actions have angered both heaven and man, and the neighbors have all raised the compensation price considerably.
Consider it an excuse to ask for compensation for emotional distress.
"My family's actions were indeed dishonest, and I apologize to everyone in advance."
Yan Bugui bowed deeply to the crowd with a bitter expression, and then slowly began to speak.
A lot has happened in our family in the past few months.
The last time we treated Yan Jiecheng, we spent all our savings.
I'm really short on money right now.
We've been neighbors for so many years.
Could you please consider our past relationship and ask for less compensation, and also give me a few days' grace?
"I'll definitely make it up to you when I have the money."
Repairing windows isn't expensive, but when there are many, it can add up to a considerable expense.
Yan Bugui couldn't even bear to eat meat during the New Year, let alone afford to pay compensation.
"Old Yan, it's not that we're making things difficult for you."
If you do something wrong, you will be punished.
"I don't need much, just give me 30,000 yuan, that'll be enough."
Liu Haizhong stepped forward and said, feigning magnanimity.
Yan Bugui's family couldn't squeeze out much profit.
More than the compensation, Liu Haizhong was concerned about the election official.
