Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): 52 years of farming, producing hundreds of millions of tons

He turned and left.

"stop!"

"If you dare to leave, we dare to dump it here."

"Aren't you afraid of freezing or starving to death?"

Jia Zhangshi rushed up, grabbed Wan Ping'an's sleeve, and tried to pull him back, but couldn't.

Madam Jia was so angry she vomited blood. She felt humiliated.

Being ridden on by someone like Wan Ping'an and treated like royalty is driving me crazy.

"You just wait," Jia Zhangshi said viciously.

"I'm waiting for you. If you have the guts, come on over and see if you dare. I'm not short of money. At worst, I'll just compensate you for the losses."

A group of people followed him. They wanted to see what Wan Ping'an was up to.

Jia Zhangshi glared at Wan Ping'an through gritted teeth, then glanced at her son.

"Dongxu, just splash water here, let's see what Wan Ping'an can do to me."

Jia Zhangshi did not apologize to the person who fell, and the person who fell left with Wan Ping'an.

"Mother, I..." Jia Dongxu hesitated.

"Dongxu, listen to me. Splash water," Jia Zhangshi said fiercely.

"All right.".

Chapter 260 Wan Ping'an Holds a Grand Meeting

He had no choice but to agree, even though he knew...

His mother was deliberately picking a fight, but he felt a strange anger rising within him; he was dissatisfied with the status quo.

He needs to change, he needs to get ahead—how ironic.

“Mother, I still think we shouldn’t do anything. Don’t think that everything is fine just because Wan Ping’an left. He might be preparing for a hospital-wide meeting.”

"Go ahead and open it. Am I, Jia Zhangshi, afraid of him? He just slapped me."

"You're always like this, so every time I say to my wife, 'I won't splash water anymore, you can splash it yourself. What if you really cause trouble later?'"

"You good-for-nothing! You actually talked back to 27 men with different surnames! Who is he? Why are you siding with outsiders instead of me?" Jia Zhangshi said angrily.

Jia Dongxu remained silent, but in his heart he was wondering, what exactly is Wan Ping'an?

"Oh dear, you're really going to be a handful! I think you're trying to drive me to my death!" Jia Zhangshi was terrified; she didn't want to cause trouble.

"Oh dear, I'm so angry! My child is so unfilial! My child is so unfilial!"

Suddenly, Jia Zhangshi burst into tears, crying like a shrew.

"You, you stop being unreasonable! Get up right now, I'll take you away from here!" Jia Dongxu panicked.

He had never seen his mother like this before. Madam Jia was relentless and insisted on staying there.

"Fine, I'll splash it, I'll splash it, okay?" Jia Dongxu had no choice; he knew he couldn't go against his mother's wishes.

"Yes, I knew you would be filial to me, my good son, I love you to death! You are amazing."

Madam Jia burst into laughter through her tears and hugged Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu felt a chill and quickly pushed him away: "Let go of me, I'll leave as soon as I'm done splashing."

After saying that, he took the wooden bucket and poured the water into the well next to the water tank under the eaves.

With a whoosh, she fell towards the door, and the neighbors on the roadside looked at Jia Zhangshi with nothing but disgust in their eyes.

On the other side, Wan Ping'an convened a general meeting of the entire hospital to address Jia Zhangshi's behavior today and to give an explanation to the resident who fell down because of her splashing water.

After all, this was the first thing Wan Ping'an had to manage since becoming a senior official. If he didn't handle it properly this time, Jia Zhangshi would dare to be so arrogant again next time.

He has decided that if this happens again, he will fire Jia Zhangshi.

He believed that without a troublesome mother-in-law like Jia Zhangshi, the courtyard would be much more peaceful.

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me for a moment." Wan Ping'an coughed twice.

Immediately, everyone fell silent and looked at Wan Ping'an.

"I called you all here today mainly because of what happened to Jia Zhangshi pouring water in front of her house. I apologize for that and promise to deal with it seriously. As for the resident who fell, Jia Zhangshi must compensate him. I will also give each family a small amount of money. Please repair the drainage ditch in front of your house," Wan Ping'an solemnly announced.

After Wan Ping'an finished speaking, everyone started discussing it again. No one had expected Wan Ping'an to make such a decision.

Although everyone had grievances against Jia Zhangshi, no one wanted to make enemies with money.

However, this is for the best, to prevent Jia Zhangshi from continuing to cause trouble.

"Sir, so how are we supposed to pour water from now on? Just dump it into the drain, right?"

Wan Ping'an waved his hand: "Yes, the water in the drainage ditch is shallow and won't be easily washed away. Besides, the neighbors won't say anything if they see it. Let's do it this way. What do you all think?"

"No problem, what the old man says must be right."

"Yes, old man, this job is quite easy."

Chapter 261 Is Jia Zhangshi greedy for a bargain? The entire hospital supports Wan Ping'an.

Wan Ping'an smiled, the matter was considered closed, and now it was his turn to explain why he had poured water at Jia Zhangshi's door.

"Everyone, this shouldn't have happened today, but Jia Zhangshi disobeyed me and openly acted wildly..."

After saying this, he took a deep breath and waited for everyone's response.

“I agree with the eldest uncle. Since Madam Jia is still treating everyone this way, we should kick her out immediately.”

"That's right, the old man is right. We should kick her out quickly. If we leave her in the courtyard, she'll only cause trouble sooner or later."

"The old man was really generous. He not only set out the rules for us, but also gave each household a few yuan."

Just as everyone was talking, Madam Jia stormed into the courtyard again.

“Then I, Jia Zhangshi, am naturally entitled to these five dollars.”

Jia Zhangshi's face was full of sinister smiles.

Wan Ping'an sneered inwardly, "Hmph! You think this money is so easy to take?"

"Aunt Jia, what do you mean by this?" Wan Ping asked, confused.

"Old man, stop pretending. If you don't give me five yuan today, I'm not done with you."

Wan Ping'an glanced at Jia Zhangshi indifferently and said:

"If I remember correctly, you meant not using the drainage ditch, just dumping it in front of the house, right? Why are you bringing that up again?"

"Uncle, that's what I said, but you're forcing me to do it now. If I don't take these five dollars, I might as well take them," Jia Zhangshi argued.

"Oh, really? You're so capable, go fix it yourself, I promise. I promise, this whole college meeting wouldn't have been held if it weren't for you!"

"You, you're just being unreasonable. I'm telling you, don't think you can bully me, Jia Zhangshi. If you don't give me five yuan, I'll spread your family's shameful deeds and let everyone know that a dignified old man like you has disgraced our courtyard."

Jia Zhangshi adopted a "what's the use of trying" attitude, and her words became unpleasant.

Wan Ping'an suppressed his anger and looked at everyone, saying, "Uncles and elders, what do you think should be done about this?"

One of the men, who looked honest and simple, said, "I think the old man did the right thing. Jia Zhangshi really went too far."

The others chimed in, "The old man did the right thing; we should teach Jia Zhangshi a lesson."

In the end, only one or two people remained silent. These were the people who had been bribed by Jia Zhangshi before, and now that they saw the situation was not good, they all fell silent.

Wan Ping'an looked at the remaining people and asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to side with Jia Zhangshi?"

The remaining few hesitated, none of them willing to step forward and take responsibility, so they all shook their heads and backed down.

Looking at these cowards who feared death, Wan Ping'an felt utterly contemptuous. He said nothing more, but instead stared directly at Jia Zhangshi and said:

"Since no one supports you, then Jia Zhangshi, you can leave! You don't need to take these five dollars. If you like, you can dump them by the door."

When Jia Zhangshi heard that no one was supporting her and Wan Ping'an wouldn't give her five yuan, she immediately became anxious.

(Okay?) Jia Zhangshi glared fiercely at Wan Ping'an and said:

"Wan Ping'an, let me tell you, if you don't give me these five yuan today, I'm not leaving."

Wan Ping'an gave a mocking laugh and said, "Jia Zhangshi, can you be any more shameless? You were so capable just now, why are you being so cowardly now?"

"I'm telling you, you have to give me five dollars for what happened today, or you can forget about me leaving."

"Heh, you're threatening me? Fine, I'll see just how capable you are."

Chapter 262 Jia Zhangshi's Crying and Making a Scene

Wan Ping'an was going all out; since they had already crossed the line, he didn't need to hold back anymore.

Wan Ping'an turned around and shouted to the crowd:

"Fellow villagers, I, Wan Ping'an, have never done anything wrong. But this Jia Zhangshi has repeatedly caused me trouble, and today is no exception. I, Wan Ping'an, am not someone to be bullied. Everyone, please be the judge of this matter."

Upon hearing this, the crowd grew louder and louder, all saying they wanted to seek justice for Wan Ping'an.

"Jia Zhangshi, if you have anything else to say, hurry up and say it while you still can," Wan Ping'an said, staring at Jia Zhangshi.

Madam Jia curled her lip, snorted coldly, and then said:
