Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

Many people are angry but dare not speak out, and now they want to attack Li Jianjun again, resorting to their old rogue tactics.

Some people disagreed.

"Shazhu, this is a society governed by law. You will be held legally responsible if you hit someone."

Xu Damao and Sha Zhu were mortal enemies, and seeing that someone was taking the lead, he jumped out as well.

"That's right. Last time, Sha Zhu left me naked in the yard for a whole night, and I never got an explanation."

"It's all because someone is covering for me. If someone covers for me again this time, I, Xu Damao, will be the first to object."

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he gave the old man a meaningful look.

Yi Zhonghai's face flushed red and then turned pale. He knew, of course, that Xu Damao was mocking him.

But neither of them brought it up explicitly, and he didn't take the initiative to admit it either.

It is common knowledge that Yi Zhonghai protected Sha Zhu in the courtyard.

"Yes, sir, if you continue to protect Sha Zhu, I'll be the first to object today."

When Yi Zhonghai was singled out by a resident, his authority was questioned, so of course he had to say something.

"What are you talking about? I've been the old man in this compound for so long, and I've never protected anyone."

Xu Damao snorted.

"Whether you're protecting Sha Zhu or not, you know yourself. Right now, Sha Zhu is beating Li Jianjun. If he can't give a coherent explanation, I'll see how you, his old man, decide the verdict."

Xu Damao clasped his fists, adopting a spectator's attitude.

With everyone saying this in public, Mediterranean could no longer openly protect Foolish Pillar.

"Let me find out what happened first. Zhu Zi, why did you hit Li Jianjun?"

Sha Zhu looked aggrieved.

"What do you mean I hit him? Li Jianjun just slapped me, and I wasn't allowed to hit back."

Li Jianjun explained directly.

"He spews filth and curses at people. What's wrong with me hitting such a jerk?"

Li Jianjun countered sharply.

"Besides, do you dare to explain the whole story?"

Sha Zhu knew he was in the wrong, so he remained silent.

"Yesterday, Director Yang asked me to cook Tan Family Cuisine. I made a bet with Sha Zhu that if I could cook authentic Tan Family Cuisine, he would have to kneel down and call me Dad."

Is there something wrong with this?

Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and many others from the family compound were present at the time.

"That's absolutely right. You have to accept the consequences of your bet."

Li Jianjun sneered.

“Shazhu is a stubborn gambler who refuses to admit defeat. He called me ‘father’ and kowtowed to me, but today when he saw me, he started cursing and said he was going to teach me a lesson.”

Li Jianjun's words made everyone understand the whole story, and they all criticized Sha Zhu.

"Silly Zhu, you really are something, you can't accept losing, don't bet with others."

"Exactly. Look at how magnanimous Li Jianjun is. He didn't even settle scores with him, but you're biting back."

Yan Bugui knew that Li Jianjun wouldn't beat up Sha Zhu for no reason; he had a decent impression of the young man.

Besides, his family members Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiecheng are still waiting for Li Jianjun to introduce them to jobs.

Li Jianjun is now a section chief, so finding a job is a piece of cake for him.

Therefore, he naturally favored Li Jianjun.

"Old Yi, Old Liu, isn't it clear now? This idiot Zhu just randomly beats people. He's in the wrong, yet he still tries to hit people."

"What do you think should be the punishment?"

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong exchanged a glance, each harboring their own secrets.

Liu Haizhong certainly wanted to retaliate, but since Li Jianjun was in the right, he couldn't say anything.

Liu Haizhong remained silent, while Yi Zhonghai asked Sha Zhu.

Is what Li Jianjun said true?

Although Sha Zhu is a hothead, he is fortunate to be courageous and responsible.

The last time he stole the wheel of Yan Bugui's car, he finally couldn't help but admit it.

"Yes, what Li Jianjun said is true, but he went too far."

The crowd couldn't help but sigh as soon as he finished speaking.

"You made the bet yourself, yet you complain that others are bullying you. You're just being unreasonable, Sha Zhu."

Even if Yi Zhonghai wanted to favor Sha Zhu this time, he couldn't find a reason to do so, because it was obvious that Sha Zhu was being unreasonable.

"Zhu Zi, stop talking. You were definitely in the wrong this time."

Despite what others say about Sha Zhu, he disagrees and listens to Yi Zhonghai's words very much.

Sha Zhu lowered his head and didn't say a word.

Li Jianjun wouldn't let him off easily.

"Is this the end of it? If Sha Zhu isn't punished this time, he'll beat people up again next time."

Li Jianjun's words were met with approval from everyone.

"Jianjun is right, Shazhu is spoiled by that old man."

Yan Bugui also chimed in.

"Old Yi, I also think this matter cannot be left unresolved."

Sha Zhu glared at Yan Bugui.

Liu Haizhong remained silent, leaving everything to Yi Zhonghai's discretion.

Yi Zhonghai is a well-known moral paragon, and as a senior figure, he still has to maintain appearances.

“Zhu Zi, you were indeed in the wrong. How about I punish you by making you clean the yard for a day?”

Yi Zhonghai's punishment was insignificant, but Li Jianjun was not satisfied.

Chapter 143 Liu Lan's Appointment

"Sweeping the yard for a day is too easy for Sha Zhu. Now that he's stopped reflecting on his actions at home, he has plenty of time."

"If you ask me, making him clean the yard for a month will teach him a lesson."

Li Jianjun's words immediately provoked strong dissatisfaction from Sha Zhu, whose face was so contorted with anger that the veins on his face almost popped out.

"Li Jianjun, don't go too far."

Yi Zhonghai also felt that cleaning for a month was too much.

"Okay then, let's ask for everyone's opinion. If everyone thinks that Sha Zhu should clean the yard for a month, then I have no objection."

Yi Zhonghai is simply trying to smooth things over; he's in a difficult position himself and has passed the buck to the onlookers.

Li Jianjun knew that Sha Zhu wasn't very popular in the courtyard.

"Okay."

Yi Zhonghai saw that Li Jianjun had fallen into the trap, Liu Haizhong was not taking charge, and Yan Bugui was making a lot of noise but could not make any decisions.

Giving this decision-making power to the people in the institute is the best option.

In the past, when dealing with matters in the hospital, he would usually decide on matters that might offend people by raising his hands in a vote.

In this way, he can avoid offending people while also making those who are punished accept the punishment.

"Those of you who agree to let Sha Zhu clean the yard for a month, raise your hands."

Some of the onlookers were afraid of retaliation from Sha Zhu and dared not raise their hands.

But some people see this as an opportunity.

"I agree."

Xu Damao was the first to raise his hand. He was Sha Zhu's mortal enemy, and their relationship could never be improved.

Seeing that no one dared to raise their hands, Xu Damao immediately began to launch into inflammatory rhetoric.

“If you don’t raise your hands, that idiot Zhu will become even more arrogant, and he’ll bully you even more in the future.”

Xu Damao's words also make sense.

A middle-aged man in his forties also slowly raised his hand.

"Da Mao is right."

And so, under Xu Damao's lead, those in the courtyard who disapproved of Sha Zhu's actions all raised their hands.

There are only about 100 people in this courtyard. An old man counted, and there were more than 90 people raising their hands.

Sha Zhu's heart sank.

Cleaning the yard for a month, that's just too embarrassing, I'm practically a sanitation worker.

"Alright, since more than half of the people agree to let Zhuzi clean the yard for a month, then this matter is settled."

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Sha Zhu, meaning that he was powerless to help with this matter.

Sha Zhu accepted his bad luck, but he left with some harsh words.

"Those of you who raised your hands, just you wait. If you don't let me have an easy time, I'll make sure you suffer too."

After saying that, Sha Zhu turned around and went into his house, slamming the door shut.

Those who raised their hands, especially the timid ones, began to feel uneasy.

That hotheaded fool might just take revenge on his own family.
