The Great Era of Siheyuan

"Wait, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you feeling guilty?"

Li Wenqiang said slowly.

"I feel guilty? What do I feel guilty about? Li Wenqiang, let me tell you, this compound belongs to everyone, you can't do whatever you want! Haven't you made enough trouble today? Jia Dongxu just left, and you're bullying the Jia family here, do you still have any conscience?"

Yi Zhonghai is worthy of being the Lord of Morality. He immediately seized the opportunity and started to resist. A hat of disrespecting the deceased was put on his head.

Although he really doesn't care, he still has to avoid it. After all, he still has to do the face-saving work.

"Yi Zhonghai, please don't talk nonsense. When did I bully the Jia family? It's obvious that you two families teamed up to bully us all. You want to cheat me of my house and everyone's money. If you didn't have bad intentions, it would be like this. Didn't you say that it's not good to put the coffin outside? How about this, please go home?"

Li Wenqiang said with a sneer.

"How dare you! Speak with some respect, I am the boss of the courtyard!"

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he could hardly suppress his fire. Li Wenqiang kept calling him Yi Zhonghai and old thing. He was stomping on his face in front of him. Who in the courtyard would listen to him in the future?

"Li Wenqiang, don't be impulsive. If you have something to say, talk it over nicely. You still have to show the proper respect."

The second uncle was also a little dissatisfied. If Li Wenqiang treated the first uncle like this, would he do the same to him?

He must form a united front with Yi Zhonghai on this point.

"Speak in a nice way? Am I not speaking in a nice way? What I want to say is related to the identity of this master, everyone listen. Since Yi Zhonghai became the master in our courtyard, besides the Jia family, have any of you received any help from their family? Have you?"

Li Wenqiang pointed to a house next door and said.

"no!"

The man quickly denied it.

"What about you?"

"no!"

"And you, too?"

"no!"

...Li Wenqiang asked five or six families in succession, but none of them had received his help over the years. After hearing the answers, everyone's faces began to change.

"Yi Zhonghai, did you hear that? Everyone said no. Then I propose that we remove the status of the master in our courtyard!"

Li Wenqiang shouted loudly, and everyone around him was shocked. No one expected that he would have such an idea in his mind. But after thinking about it carefully, he began to feel excited. It seemed that this might work!

"Who is talking nonsense here? Do you have any rules? Who gave you the right to abolish the master? Stand out and let me see!"

An old woman's voice sounded from the backyard, and then an old lady with a cane walked out of the hall.

Seeing her appearance, Li Wenqiang knew that this was the deaf old lady in the courtyard. It was still early, and she was only in her early sixties. Except for her skin and hair being a little older, her hands and feet were still quite agile.

"Old lady, why are you out?"

When Yi Zhonghai saw the deaf old lady, he hurried over to support her.

"old lady!"

"old lady!"

……

After seeing this, Sha Zhu, He Yu Shui and everyone else started to greet the deaf old lady. It turned out that the words of the ancestors in the play were not nonsense.

"You little bastard, you've only lived here for a few days? You haven't even grown all your hair yet, but you're already so rebellious. You even want to remove Xiao Yi's master. What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?"

The deaf old lady walked up to Li Wenqiang and scolded him. With her white hair and wrinkled face, if she didn't look so cunning, she would have been a kind-hearted old lady.

"Deaf old lady, if you want to live longer, you have to mind your own business, otherwise you might be struck by lightning at any time! If you have nothing to do, go back to the house and don't point fingers at me here. I'm not interested in listening to your nonsense. You have to ask everyone in our courtyard whether Yi Zhonghai can continue to be the boss. If they decide not to let Yi Zhonghai continue, he can't do it. If they decide to let him continue, then there is no point in me saying anything."

Li Wenqiang said sarcastically.

"Li Wenqiang, I think you are crazy. You dare to talk nonsense to the old lady. The old lady is a martyr's relative, an ancestor of our courtyard. She once gave straw sandals to soldiers. Do you believe me, I will have someone arrest you and send you to the police station?"

After seeing the deaf old lady come out, Yi Zhonghai seemed to feel more confident and started to show off again.

"Yi Zhonghai, she is your ancestor, not mine, remember that! Also, you must be responsible for what you said. Pretending to be a relative of a martyr will result in a sentence. I guess everyone just heard it! I'll go to the military control center and ask if there's a deaf old lady among the relatives of martyrs and the people who helped them!"

Li Wenqiang said coldly, an old lady with bound feet still claims to be a martyr's relative, she really doesn't know how to write the word death.

Yi Zhonghai was about to continue speaking, but the deaf old lady knew her background very well. Seeing how confident he was, she began to become suspicious. Could it be that he had discovered something about her?

He guessed in his mind and said it without any expression on his face.

"Xiao Yi, I'm just an ordinary old woman. Although I did some things in the past, it's over. Don't mention it anymore!"

"Yes, yes! Or maybe you, old lady, are just indifferent and uncompetitive by nature. I am a little vulgar."

Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady sang the same tune, and both of them spoke as if they were some kind of sage who were indifferent to fame and fortune.

"Yi Zhonghai, why are you pretending to be so high and mighty? Now is the time for us to judge you. Stand still and stop laughing. From now on, everyone vote on Yi Zhonghai. Those who agree that he should continue to be the boss, raise your hands!"

Li Wenqiang was deliberately playing a trick here. If he asked those who disagreed to raise their hands, most people would raise their hands, and vice versa. Because most people basically just go with the flow and watch the fun, and they don't really care who is right or wrong, and they won't deliberately stand up to express their wishes.

The facts were just as Li Wenqiang had guessed. Except for Sha Zhu, He Yushui, the deaf old lady and Jia Zhang's family, everyone else just watched and didn't move.

The corner of Yi Zhonghai's eye twitched. He didn't expect that he only had these few people supporting him in the hospital.

He didn't even think about it. Apart from making profits for the Jia family, he had never done anything beneficial to the people in the courtyard. The reward he got for being an advanced worker was not even enough for two bites of food. It was completely useless. He really thought that others would care!

"Alright, the results are out. I declare that from now on, Yi Zhonghai is no longer the boss of our courtyard. That's it, adjourn the meeting!"

Li Wenqiang announced the result decisively. No matter whether he admitted it or not, after he said this today, no one in the hospital would listen to him.

"What about me? Am I a great uncle now?"

Liu Haizhong asked stupidly, it was such a blessing from heaven, he was going to be a boss for no apparent reason.

"Yes, and me!"

Yan Bugui also asked happily, Jia Dongxu's funeral was disrupted by Li Wenqiang.

"You decide for yourself! What is the name of the first uncle? It's just a title. Other courtyards have abolished it long ago. Only our courtyard has this kind of bureaucracy. This title can only regulate the relationship between neighbors, and it can't punish or force us to do anything, no matter if you are the first uncle or the second uncle! Okay, I'll go back if there's nothing else, you guys can discuss it slowly!"

After Li Wenqiang finished speaking, he patted his butt and left. Do whatever you want, anyone can be the boss, as long as they don't involve him.

If he wasn't afraid that removing three uncles at once would have too much impact and offend too many people, he would have wanted to remove them all. A little uncle who is nothing has made the whole courtyard a mess and bureaucracy rampant. It's better not to have this uncle!
