Jia Zhang, who lived in the middle courtyard, had very sharp ears. When she heard the noise in the front yard, she immediately put down the shoe sole she was sewing halfway and poked her head out with curiosity on her face.

Her little eyes rolled around and she saw the crowd gathered in the front yard, as well as He Yuzhu and Su Mu confronting each other in the center. She immediately understood something.

"Oh my god, what's going on?" Jia Zhang muttered as she twisted her fat body and walked quickly towards the front yard. Her speed was very different from her usual lazy appearance.

When she arrived at the front yard, she didn't care about other people's eyes and squeezed into the middle of the crowd, with her hands on her hips, looking like she was ready to watch a good show.

"Sumu, Sumu, what's wrong with you now? Why do you only know how to bully the people in our yard?" As soon as Jia Zhang opened her mouth, her mouth was full of sarcasm and her little eyes were wide open, as if they could spit fire.

"You little bastard, you've never been quiet since you came into our courtyard. You've been causing trouble every day. I think you're a jinx. You'd better pack up and leave as soon as possible!"

Her words were like a string of cannonballs, each sentence was full of thorns. Not only did she insult Su Mu, but she also mixed in some obscenities that were hard to hear, causing the people around her to look at her sideways with displeasure on their faces.

But Jia Zhang seemed to be completely unaware of it. Instead, she spoke more and more excitedly. She took a few steps forward, almost sticking to Su Mu's face, with saliva flying everywhere.

"Look at you, what have you done to He Yuzhu? He is an honest man in our hospital, but you made things difficult for him as soon as you came here, causing him to lose his job. How dare you stand here?"

As Jia Zhang spoke, she pointed at He Yuzhu, looking indignant, but in fact she was fanning the flames and deliberately provoking.

"I'm telling you, Sumu, don't think you're great just because you're a workshop manager. In our courtyard, we still have to follow the rules and respect each other! If you don't give He Yuzhu an explanation today, I, Jia Zhang, will be the first to disagree!"

As she spoke, she even pretended that she was about to take action. Although her fat body made her look a little clumsy, she was full of energy and determination.

When the people around saw this, they shook their heads and sighed, feeling disgusted with Jia Zhang's behavior.

But Jia Zhang seemed to be immersed in her own world, completely disregarding the opinions of others and continuing her shrewish behavior, making the scene even more chaotic.

Faced with Jia Zhang's unreasonable behavior and abusive language, Su Mu's face did not show the slightest panic, but instead he sneered.

He turned around slowly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, staring directly at Jia Zhang's distorted face.

"Why, Jia Zhang, is He Yuzhu your long-lost son, or is there some unspeakable secret between the two of you that makes you spare no effort to protect him?"

There was obvious sarcasm and disdain in Su Mu's words. Every word was like a sharp blade, accurately piercing Jia Zhang's fragile self-esteem.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang's face turned ashen in an instant, her fat body trembled slightly with anger, her small eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and the corners of her mouth were twisted and deformed with anger.

She pointed at Su Mu, her fingers trembling slightly, her voice sharp and piercing with anger: "You...what nonsense are you talking about! He Yuzhu and I are innocent, stop slandering me here!"

"Oh? Really?" Su Mu smiled contemptuously, his tone full of doubt, "If that's the case, why are you so excited? Is what I said not the truth? Or are you feeling guilty?"

Jia Zhang was so angry at Su Mu's words that she was shaking all over. She opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but found herself speechless.

The discussions around started again, mixed with dissatisfaction with Jia Zhang and sympathy for Su Mu.

"Oh, Jia Zhang really brought disgrace upon herself this time. She always loves to stir up trouble, and this time she has run into a tough guy."

"That's right, Manager Su Mu is right. She can't even look after herself, and yet she has the nerve to meddle in other people's business."

"She usually points fingers at everyone, as if the courtyard house belongs to her family. Now, she is exposed in public. How can she put her face aside?"

"Su Mu is really brave and resourceful. Facing Jia Zhang's scolding, not only was he not scared, but he fought back so beautifully."

"Yes, I heard that Sumu has been in our courtyard for a short time, but he has a way of dealing with people, unlike some people who only know how to throw tantrums."

"Jia Zhang has hit a wall this time. She should be more restrained in the future and stop cursing at people all the time and making them dislike her."

"Yes, yes, our courtyard belongs to everyone. We need everyone to work together to maintain harmony and not let a bad apple spoil the whole barrel."

Jia Zhang felt that her authority had been challenged as never before. She stamped her feet in anger and shouted with all her strength, "Sumu, you are such a disrespectful person! I warn you, don't go too far!"

However, Su Mu just looked at her coldly, his eyes full of disdain and indifference.

He turned around and was about to leave, leaving behind a few words: "Ms. Jia Zhang, it is important for people to know themselves. I advise you to take care of yourself more and meddle in other people's affairs less."

After saying that, Su Mu strode out of the front yard, leaving Jia Zhang, who was furious and with a livid face, stamping her feet and cursing on the spot.

The surrounding residents also dispersed one after another, looking even more contemptuously at Jia Zhang, who loved to stir up trouble and make a scene.

Su Mu closed the door gently, turned and walked into the kitchen, ready to start preparing dinner.

There was a warm and familiar atmosphere in the kitchen, which relaxed his tense nerves a little.

Just as he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to wash vegetables and cut meat, there was a sudden and hurried knock on the door.

"Who?" Su Mu asked as he put down the work in his hands and walked towards the door.

"Brother Su, it's me! Xu Damao!" Xu Damao's slightly flattering voice came from outside the door.

When Su Mu heard this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose and he laughed secretly in his heart.

He opened the door and saw Xu Damao standing outside with a smile on his face, holding a fat chicken in his hand, looking quite sincere.

"Xu Damao, what are you doing? Coming to visit with a chicken in your hand?" Su Mu deliberately joked.

Xu Damao chuckled, handed the chicken to Su Mu, and said, "Brother Su, I'm here to give you a chicken, and I want to have a meal at your house."

Su Mu took the chicken, smiled and shook his head: "You are really calculating, you want to eat and drink for free with just a chicken?"

Xu Damao was not annoyed, but said more flatteringly: "Brother Su, look at what you said, we are no match for each other. Besides, I brought this chicken specially from my relatives in the countryside. It is green and pollution-free, and it is definitely a good thing."

Su Mu smiled and patted Xu Damao on the shoulder, saying, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and come in. But let's make a deal, I have to accept the chicken, but you have to pay for the meal yourself."
