"Oh my god, this is so unfair! You people from Courtyard No. 95 are bullying an old woman like me!"

"Hurry up and call your steward out!"

…………

It was the weekend and it was almost lunchtime. Yang Hehua was about to go out to call people for dinner when she heard a commotion coming from outside the house.

Following the source of the sound, the first thing Yang Hehua saw was a thin old lady with mud spots all over her face and messy hair. She was rolling on the ground a little below the hanging flower gate, cursing from time to time.

There were both men and women behind her. Upon closer inspection, one of them was the manager of Courtyard No. 91. The old man also had a skinny face and frighteningly bright eyes.

Yan Bugui, who had been hiding at home and didn't want to go out, went out reluctantly. At the same time, he asked his eldest son Yan Jiecheng to go to the backyard to find the uncle Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong is the boss, so naturally he should be the one to handle things!

Not long after, he panted with his big belly sticking out of his bangs. He just glanced at the old lady who was rolling on the ground, and then said to the manager of the No. 91 courtyard: "I say, Lao Lin, what's going on with you guys!?"

"As the manager of your courtyard, how can you bring the people from your courtyard here to cause trouble?!"

The old man in charge, who was called Lao Lin by Liu Haizhong, was unhappy when he heard this: "Lao Liu, you just arrived at the scene, how can you say that I brought people here to cause trouble?"

"I'm really not here to cause trouble, I'm here to solve the problem!"

Having said that, Manager Lin directly stopped the old lady who was still yelling.

"Alright, alright, Mrs. Wang, stop crying. The steward of No. 95 Courtyard is here. Just tell him what you want to say. Don't worry, as long as it's not your problem, I, the steward, can make the decision for you."

"Okay! You said it!" The old lady stopped shouting and quickly got up from the ground.

"Neighbors, neighbors, please give me some advice and judgment!"

"It's hard to buy food recently, old woman. In order to save some money for the family, I took my grandchildren to the northern suburbs to pick wild vegetables. As a result, my grandson was robbed of a basket of wild vegetables by two young men, and he also got a cut on the head. I, an old woman, went to catch them, but they pushed me down and I fell into the stinky ditch. This muddy spot on my face is the proof."

"If the people in our courtyard hadn't seen me and dragged me up, I might have been drowned in the stinking ditch!"

"My grandson is still lying in the hospital right now!"

"Although I don't know who those two young men are, the people in our courtyard know that they are from your courtyard No. 95!"

"So, as long as these two young people come forward, pay for my grandson's medical expenses, and apologize, this matter will be over!"

"Otherwise, I'll report to Gong An!"

What the old lady said was so reasonable and well-founded that everyone present couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"Since there is nothing wrong with what the old lady said, then whoever did it should come forward!!"

"That's right!"

“Old lady, are you sure you are from our courtyard?!”

"The old lady said she was going to call the police, so this must not be fake, right!?"

"For a basket of wild vegetables, this is too ridiculous! Is the city of Sijiu so hungry now?" Su Qinmi couldn't help but express her doubts.

Based on her experience of reading newspapers during this period and her conclusion from going out, the rainfall in the city was sufficient and it was unlikely that the crops would suffer a poor harvest.

The summer harvest was just over.

As a resident of a city with a hukou and a monthly food ration, how could he do such a thing just because of a basket of wild vegetables! ?

Su Qinmi's words also made the people present a little confused.

It really shouldn't.

It's easy to just spend a little time digging wild vegetables in the fields and you can harvest a basket of them. There's no need to do this for a basket of wild vegetables.

The thin old lady knew that someone would refute her words, so she put her hands on her hips and said, "Although this sounds outrageous, it is true!"

"Alright! Everyone in your courtyard should be at home. Just gather them together and let me, an old lady, recognize them. That's all!"

"I have met those two young men and know what they look like, so I just need to let my old lady take a look and I'll be sure!"

"If your courtyard doesn't have the two young people I'm looking for, then I, an old woman, will apologize to you today!"

Uncle Manager Lin also stood up at this time: "Dear neighbors, I am sorry to trouble you all with this matter today!"

"After all, this is not a big deal, but it's not a small deal either. We just need to let the old lady take a few looks and see if there are these two young people in your courtyard."

"Just like the old lady said, if your courtyard didn't have these two young people, then as the manager of No. 91 courtyard, I would give you 100 fruit candies as an apology!"

Having said this, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui naturally had nothing more to say, and directly called everyone in the hospital to gather.

In order to get the fruit candy as compensation, the people in the courtyard gathered much faster.

Yang Hehua also found Xiao Qian and the others at this time. Xiuxiu sat on her shoulders and Xiaobao was in her arms. Xiao Qian followed closely with Xiaobao in her arms, and everyone came to the central courtyard together.

The main thing is that the central courtyard is spacious, and even if everyone in the courtyard gathers together, it is not too crowded.

Yan Bugui was counting the number of people. Apart from the deaf old lady who was bedridden, there were also the youngest son of Aunt Zhang, as well as Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu who had not arrived.

The thin old lady looked around three times, but didn't see any familiar faces.

She turned her head to Liu Haizhong and asked, "Uncle, are all the people in your courtyard here?"

"Ah... let me see." Liu Haizhong immediately glanced at the people present and found that Xu Damao, who was usually in the countryside, had stood up. He continued to look and found that his two sons and a boy in the yard were not there.

Seeing Liu Haizhong's hesitation to speak, Yan Bugui also caught a glimpse of the impatience on the faces of the thin old lady and the manager of the No. 91 courtyard. He quickly replied: "In addition to an elderly lady who is not here in our courtyard, there are three young men who have not arrived yet!"

"Oh...that means I haven't seen these three young people yet. Does anyone know where they are?" The thin old lady was now very polite.

In fact, the people in Courtyard No. 95 had already discovered that Liu Haizhong’s two sons were not at the scene.

As for Aunt Zhang's youngest son, they didn't pay any attention to him.
