The life of a villain in a courtyard

"Hurry up, hurry up, our Jiefang has fainted, everyone come quickly."

Perhaps because he went to the toilet too many times, the uncle looked weak and had to gasp for air before he could say a word. He shouted five or six times before someone heard him and came out of the house to check.

"Uncle, what happened? What happened in your family? Why did Yan Jiefang faint?"

There was a group of people surrounding the third uncle.

"I don't know what happened. Jiefang suddenly fainted. Everyone, please help and send our Jiefang to the hospital! Oh no, I have to go to the bathroom."

Yan Fugui ran to the toilet, holding his stomach. Soon Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiedi all ran out of the house and ran straight to the toilet. When they came out, their legs were weak and they almost fell in several times. If they had known this would happen, why would they eat moldy cornmeal? Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Seeing the miserable condition of the Third Uncle's family, everyone knew that they could not rely on them, so they directed others to send Yan Jiefang to the hospital.

"Hurry, hurry, Lao Wang, go to the courtyard next door and borrow a cart. Zhang family boy, help me lift Yan Jiefang onto the cart and take him to the hospital!"

A group of people hurriedly lifted Yan Jiefang into the car and sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment.

"Comrade, what did your family eat today?"

The doctors outside the emergency room carefully asked Yan Jiefang what he had eaten wrong today. When they were rescuing Yan Jiefang, they found that his symptoms seemed to be food poisoning.

"It's cornmeal! We had some moldy cornmeal at home, so we couldn't bear to throw it away, so we steamed some steamed buns to eat tonight. Jiefang ate the most."

"You can't eat moldy food. It contains aflatoxin. Eating it can cause diarrhea at best, fever, headache, dizziness, or even death. Don't do that anymore."

Yan Fugui is also feeling a little scared now. Fortunately, he ate less, otherwise he would be the one lying on the hospital bed now.

Upon learning that Yan Fugui and his family had eaten steamed bread made from moldy cornmeal, the doctor examined them one by one. As expected, they all ate moldy cornmeal. Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiecheng even developed acute gastroenteritis and had to receive intravenous drips.

The doctor prescribed medicine for each of them one by one, and they went out to pay the bill, which cost a total of 17.35 yuan. They wanted to get a bargain but ended up spending more money. They ended up suffering a great loss by trying to save a small fortune.

"How come the old man has so much money? This is enough for our family to eat for half a month."

When the third aunt saw the number on the bill, she immediately stopped wanting to get treatment. That much money was enough to do a lot of things.

"Take the money. We'll go back and settle accounts with Lao Yi. He must be responsible for our illness."

The next day, Su Yun kneaded dough and steamed buns at home. It was cold in winter, so the dough needed to be fermented for a longer time and had to be prepared in advance.

Just then, there was a loud noise coming from the middle courtyard, followed by a burst of crying and shouting. Su Yun thought something had happened in someone's house.

Su Yun came to the middle courtyard and saw the third uncle and the third aunt crying in the yard, while Yi Zhonghai and the first aunt were standing aside with grim expressions.

"Sister Xiao'e, what happened? Why are the third uncle and aunt crying?"

Lou Xiao'e arrived early and saw everything that happened in the yard.

"Yesterday, Auntie No. 1 gave Uncle No. 3 several kilograms of moldy corn flour to Uncle No. 3, causing food poisoning in the whole family. Yan Jiefang fainted and is still in the hospital bed. Uncle No. 3 is here to ask Uncle No. 1 for compensation."

It seems that the few pounds of corn flour yesterday were taken away by the third uncle. Fortunately, I discovered it in time, otherwise I would be the one lying in the hospital bed today.

"Everyone, please judge for us. Yesterday, an old man asked an old woman to send moldy corn noodles to our house. Our whole family got food poisoning. Our Jiefang is still in the hospital. Jie Kuang and Jie Chengdu got acute gastroenteritis. He is responsible."

"I didn't! The cornmeal yesterday was not for them."

The first aunt hurriedly explained: "I was going to throw away those few pounds of corn flour yesterday, and the third aunt wanted to help me throw it away, so I gave it to her. It was not for their family to eat."

"You're talking nonsense. You clearly said yesterday that the cornmeal was for our family to eat."

Their family has already confirmed the facts and said that the cornmeal was given to them by an old lady.

"She's the first aunt, I clearly saw you handing the corn flour to the third aunt yesterday, why don't you admit it?"

The two of them spoke in relatively low voices yesterday. Although some people saw it, it was not clear whether the item was given by the first aunt to the third aunt or whether the third aunt asked the third aunt to throw it away.

The miserable appearance of the Third Uncle's family won the sympathy of most people, and everyone spoke up for the Third Uncle.

"You are a great man, but you always do immoral things!"

"That's right, if you don't want to give me cornmeal, just tell me directly. Why bother using moldy ones to harm others?"

"That's right, what you did this time was really unkind. How could you harm others with moldy cornmeal?"

Yi Zhonghai looked unhappy. This matter was like mud falling off a trouser crotch, or it was shit.

"Old Yi, how could you do this? Old Yan and we have been neighbors for many years. How could you harm him like this? I'll make the decision. You apologize to Old Yan and pay some money, and we'll let it go."

Liu Haizhong walked into the crowd with his hands behind his back and his belly sticking out, pointing at Yi Zhonghai.

"Tell me what you want?"

Yi Zhonghai was very familiar with this routine. In the past, Jia Zhangshi had used this method to play the victim and force others to compensate her.

"You have to pay our family fifty dollars for medical expenses!"

Last time you cheated me out of five dollars, so this time I want fifty dollars in compensation from you. That's reasonable.

"Old woman, go back and get money from Old Yan."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai turned around without hesitation and asked the old lady to give money to Yan Fugui. The old lady reluctantly went back to the house and took out fifty yuan and gave it to Yan Fugui.

After getting the money, Yan Fugui was satisfied and took the three aunts back to the house.

"You are awesome, old man. Not only did I get back the medical expenses, but I also got an extra thirty bucks!"

"of course."

Yan Fugui was very proud.

"Old man, will we offend the old man by doing this?" The third aunt was a little worried.

"Don't worry. If Lao Yi wants to manage the entire courtyard well, he has to win over Lao Liu and me. Even if we go too far, he will accept it!"

The aunt went back into the room and sat on the bed without saying a word.

"Don't be angry, we just need to learn from this lesson in the future."

"How could I be so stupid! That's a full fifty dollars!"

Yi Zhonghai felt very uncomfortable seeing his old wife crying.
