I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

Zhou Weiguo watched Jia Zhangshi sitting on the ground, waving her arms and legs around aimlessly, and watched with amusement. He thought to himself: I was just thinking of establishing my authority when I came to the courtyard, and you delivered yourself to my doorstep. Good heavens, you really are a "timely rain"! I was just worried about not having an opportunity, and you took the initiative to put on this show.

Seeing Jia Zhangshi's ugly tantrum, Zhou Weiguo sneered inwardly. There was going to be a good show later. Today, he would make sure that everyone in this courtyard knew that he was here, and that the He family was no longer a pushover.

Just then, a voice rang out from the crowd: "Uncle One is here, Uncle Two is here too! Come and see! Jia Zhangshi is bullying the new resident, and the new resident slapped Jia Zhangshi."

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong had just returned to their courtyard house after get off work when Yi Zhonghai's expression changed drastically upon hearing that Jia Zhangshi had been slapped. He rushed into the crowd. Seeing Jia Zhangshi flailing her arms on the ground, he walked over, glanced at the bloodstains on the ground and the blood at the corner of Jia Zhangshi's mouth, and asked Zhou Weiguo, who was sitting on the ground, with a grim expression, "Did you slap Jia Zhangshi?"

Zhou Weiguo looked up and said directly, "I guess so."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's eyes darted around, and his voice rose several decibels as he pointed at Zhou Weiguo with a serious expression, saying, "What do you mean by 'considered'? You've only been in our courtyard for two days, and you've already hit people twice. I didn't even say anything yesterday—hitting Sha Zhu was your own business. But Jia Zhangshi is an elder, how could you hit her? If you dare to hit Jia Zhangshi today, are you planning to hit anyone else in the courtyard tomorrow?" Yi Zhonghai didn't quite understand Zhou Weiguo's situation yet and didn't dare to speak too definitively, but he really wanted to get rid of Zhou Weiguo, so he decided to use public opinion as a means of communication.

Sure enough, when the neighbors who came later heard this, they couldn't help but agree: "Yes, this person has only been in the yard for two days and has already beaten people twice." Of course, some people also mocked Jia Zhangshi for deserving of the punishment, since Jia Zhangshi usually acted arrogantly in the yard because of her relationship with Yi Zhonghai.

Zhou Weiguo looked at Yi Zhonghai with a half-smile and said, "So you're the old man in this courtyard? I'm just curious, I'm Zhuzi's uncle. What is Zhuzi calling a shrew? What kind of elder is she to me? What, you want to be Zhuzi's grandpa? Aren't you afraid He Daqing will come back and fight you? And yesterday you barged into my house with the police without any explanation, and today you're accusing me again without any explanation. So it turns out that you're just habitually indiscriminate in your accusations. I really don't understand why the neighborhood committee entrusted such an important task to someone with such poor eyesight like you."

Yi Zhonghai was so choked by these words that his face turned purple. He could no longer suppress his fear of Zhou Weiguo and said sternly, "You've assaulted someone twice and haven't learned your lesson. I think you're simply not fit to live in our compound. We don't welcome people like you. We'll let it go this time, but please leave immediately! Otherwise, I'll call the police to arrest you."

Zhou Weiguo glanced at the moon gate of the front courtyard, his eyes lighting up. He immediately shouted, "My family's Zhuzi and Yushui own this property. I live at my nephew's house, what business is it of yours? What right do you have to kick me out? Besides, Jia Zhangshi insulted my whole family, and even tore my clothes and scratched me first. I was just instinctively defending myself when I fell, and I just happened to hit her. Why do you say I intentionally hit someone? You've only been here a few minutes! You haven't even heard the whole story, yet you're already taking someone's side. You're a joke!"

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi, who was sitting to the side, couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up and started cursing at Zhou Weiguo: "You shameless bastard, so what if I curse you? So what if I curse your whole family? Your whole family deserves to be cursed, a family of heartless scoundrels! Asking you to help my family bring lunch boxes is giving your family face. Your whole family is doomed to die out. You don't give the good food to my precious grandson, are you going to leave it for your money-losing brat?"

As he spoke, he was about to scratch Zhou Weiguo's face again, but Yi Zhonghai, who was standing next to him, not only did not stop him, but also turned to the side to block Zhou Weiguo's view.

Sitting on the ground, Zhou Weiguo saw Jia Zhangshi rushing towards him. Feigning fear, he kicked forward, landing squarely on Jia Zhangshi's foot. Jia Zhangshi immediately lost her balance and fell forward like a runaway ball of flesh.

Zhou Weiguo rolled to the side on the ground, and with a "thud," followed by a scream, Jia Zhangshi fell straight to the ground, her forehead hitting the bluestone slab hard, instantly swelling up a large bump, and blood flowing down her cheek.

She froze for two seconds, then let out a scream more piercing than a pig being slaughtered: "Murder! Yi Zhonghai, help me! This heartless man is going to kill me!" She rolled around on the ground while howling, getting her clean clothes covered in mud.

"Enough!" A voice came from the front yard, and it turned out to be Director Wang from the neighborhood office walking in with two police officers.

When Yi Zhonghai saw the person who came, his expression changed drastically. When he saw He Yushui next to Director Wang, his expression became even more unpleasant.

Director Wang, his face stern, swept his stern gaze across the chaotic courtyard before finally settling on Yi Zhonghai: "Yi Zhonghai, you're quite the big shot, aren't you? Trying to kick someone out of the compound without even getting to the bottom of things? Who gave you that right? I don't recall the person in charge having that kind of authority."

As he spoke, he looked at Jia Zhangshi, who was still crying on the ground, and said with disgust, "If you keep howling, I'll have someone take you to the police station right away."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi fell silent with a 'ga', then retreated behind Yi Zhonghai with some fear.

Director Wang stepped forward and helped Zhou Weiguo up: "I'm so sorry, Weiguo, you've only been in this compound for a short time and you've already caused this mess."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi rolled her eyes and protested, "Director Wang, you must stand up for me! This new guy beat He Yuzhu yesterday and beat me today. Look what he's done to me! You must send someone to arrest him!"

Director Wang didn't speak, but stepped forward and asked, "Who knows the details of this matter? Please come forward and tell me." The people in the courtyard looked at each other, all hesitant.

Zhou Weiguo looked at Yan Fugui, who was hiding in the corner, and said directly, "Director Wang, I've run into that old man ever since I came back. He's been right next to us the whole time. He knows everything we've said and done, but I'm not sure if he'll tell the truth."

Director Wang, understanding Zhou Weiguo's meaning perfectly, immediately said, "Yan Fugui, come out!"

Yan Fugui slowly emerged from the crowd, an unnatural smile plastered on his face, his eyes darting around, and he stammered, "I... I didn't see it very clearly either."
