Courtyard House: He Daqing Forces Qin Huairu into Marrying at the Beginning

The deaf old woman's story should be laid bare in front of all the neighbors.

To prevent the old woman from falsely accusing the three stewards of abusing their power.

When it came to their own interests, Yan Bugui and his group acted with extreme efficiency.

Before long, apart from the old thief who was pretending to be deaf, all the neighbors in the courtyard brought their stools to the middle courtyard.

Since the deaf old woman wouldn't come out, He Daqing and the others couldn't force her to come out.

Once most of the people had arrived, He Daqing began discussing the topic.

"The reason for calling everyone to this meeting tonight is to resolve the dispute between Yan Bugui's family in the front yard and the deaf old lady."

Just now, while Yan Bugui was eating, the deaf old woman broke the window.

Yan Bugui demanded that the deaf old woman compensate his family for their losses.

What are your thoughts?

After briefly explaining the whole story, He Daqing, as usual, asked about everyone's attitude.

The neighbors whispered among themselves downstairs, and after a moment someone finally stood up and spoke.

"The deaf old lady went too far in this matter."

I think she should be made to pay compensation.

"It's only right to pay back debts, she should pay back the money."

To prevent their own interests from being harmed, all the families in the courtyard expressed their support for Yan Bugui.

After everyone had expressed their opinions, the tone of the matter was basically set, and He Daqing turned to look at Yan Bugui.

"Yan Bugui, your window is broken. How much money did you lose?"

Yan Bugui remained silent for a moment, carefully considering his words before speaking.

"I don't need much, it'll probably cost about four yuan to fix the window."

The four yuan that Yan Bugui mentioned refers to the new currency, which is equivalent to 40,000 yuan of the old currency.

This compensation amount is considered relatively small.

Considering how difficult the deaf old woman was, Yan Bugui dared not ask for too much, fearing that too much resistance to the compensation would lead to nothing being achieved.

"Well, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, what do you think?"

Yan Bugui's request was reasonable and did not cause any trouble for He Daqing and the others.

"I think it's suitable."

"I think it's appropriate too."

The two old men nodded in agreement.

"Since everyone is okay with it, let's go talk to the deaf old lady together."

Let's explain things clearly to avoid future trouble.

Regardless of what schemes the deaf old woman might have, He Daqing intended to use this opportunity to lead the entire hospital staff in putting pressure on her.

We don't need to completely subdue her, but we should at least make her realize the situation and behave herself in the courtyard.

Everyone has already expressed their opinions, so it's not appropriate to refuse He Daqing's suggestion now.

Moreover, it can keep the deaf old lady in check, which is good for the other neighbors in the courtyard.

Therefore, no one objected, and no one backed down.

With Yan Bugui's family as the vanguard, the neighbors marched in a large group to the backyard.

Arriving at the deaf old woman's door, Yan Bugui stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Boom, boom, boom."

After a knock on the door, there was no response from inside.

The deaf old woman had anticipated that Yan Bugui would come to cause trouble, so she stayed in bed pretending to be deaf and dumb, giving no response whatsoever.

Seeing the deaf old woman acting like a rogue, Yan Bugui hardened his heart and stopped being polite.

"Deaf old lady, my window is broken."

I'd like to borrow your window.

If you don't respond, I'll take that as a yes.

Yan Bugui played word games.

The deaf old lady can pretend to be confused, and so can he.

They would just start doing it without opening the door, and afterwards they would say that the deaf old lady had agreed.

"Since the old lady has agreed, Bu Gui is extremely grateful."

You are so generous and righteous; I wish you a long and healthy life.

After saying this, Yan Bugui stepped forward and was about to dismantle the window of the deaf old woman's house.

The deaf old woman inside the house could hear clearly; she was not about to let Yan Bugui have his way.

She quickly got up, picked up her cane, opened the door, and smacked Yan Bugui on the forehead with the cane.

"You wicked thing, how dare you break my window!"

Yan Bugui dodged the cane and said to the deaf old woman with a forced smile.

"Grandma, didn't you agree?"

"When did I agree to that?!"

The deaf old woman shouted angrily and raised her cane, ready to continue hitting him.

"You didn't refuse when I asked you just now, so doesn't that mean you agreed?"

The neighbors in the courtyard could hear it clearly.

Am we all right?

Yan Bugui turned his head to look behind him.

Following Yan Bugui's gaze, the deaf old woman finally noticed that there were many more people in the backyard.

He stood there, staring intently at her.

Seeing that things were not going well, the deaf old woman tried to retreat back into her room.

He Daqing immediately spoke up to stop her actions.

"Old lady, you just broke Yan Bugui's window, shouldn't you give him an explanation?"

"Yes, old lady, you should give an explanation."

The neighbors all chimed in.

After being harassed for so long, everyone felt very frustrated.

Today we must unite as one, suppress the deaf old woman's arrogance, and vent our anger.

"What? What are you saying? I can't hear you."

The deaf old woman resorted to her usual trick of pretending to be deaf.

Unfortunately, the previously tried-and-true strategy completely failed.

He Daqing said slowly and deliberately.

"Deaf old lady, stop pretending."

There's no point in pretending anymore.

With so many of us here today, if you still can't hear us.

From now on, we won't hear anything you say.

Since the deaf old lady doesn't want to sit down and talk properly, He Daqing and the others don't need to indulge her.

“That’s right, old lady, you have to give me an explanation today.”

Normally, people dare not speak out against the deaf old woman.

Tonight I finally got a chance to vent.

Instantly, countless words swept over the deaf old woman like a whirlwind, causing her frail body to tremble uncontrollably.

"What exactly do you want?"

Are you really trying to drive this old woman to her death?!

Left with no other choice, the deaf old woman had to resort to her shameless tactics once again.

She was convinced that as long as she didn't care about her own safety, no one could do anything to her.

"It is rare for someone to live to seventy."

You are a recipient of the Five Guarantees (a government-provided social welfare program for the elderly, disabled, and orphans), and the state will be responsible for your burial after your death.

What does this have to do with us?

Yan Bugui, having gained the upper hand, was relentless, his gaze gradually becoming sharp, as if he wanted to pierce through the deaf old woman.

Some things are only intimidating when held in one's own hands; once they are taken out, others are no longer afraid.

After the deaf old woman made her threats so many times, everyone got used to it and stopped finding it so scary.

Everyone's given up and given up.

If the deaf old woman dared to die, they would each donate one yuan to bury her.

"What do you want?"

Realizing she had gone too far and pushed her neighbors too far, the deaf old woman had no choice but to back down.

"Grandma, we just had a hospital-wide meeting and decided that you should pay four yuan to the Yan Bugui family."

Do you have any objections?
