He Yuzhu seemed relatively calm, holding tightly in his hand a piece of steaming bread that he had specially prepared for the deaf grandmother. He was thinking about how to deal with the upcoming scene in a polite manner while not getting involved in the neighborhood dispute.

"Third aunt, don't worry, let's go and check out the situation first. Maybe things are not as bad as you think." He Yuzhu tried to calm Yang Ruihua and deliberately made his voice very calm.

The two men came to the deaf old lady's house in the backyard and knocked on the door gently.

The door creaked open, revealing the old lady's slightly sleepy eyes and fluffy white hair.

She had obviously just been awakened, and there was a look of confusion on her face.

"Oh, it's Zhuzi and Ruihua, why are you here?" The deaf old lady's voice was soft, but it revealed a bit of surprise.

Her eyes moved between the two of them, and she had already realized that something was happening.

"Ma'am, we heard... uh, we just wanted to see if you've gotten up and bring you some food."

He Yuzhu handed the bread forward as he spoke, cleverly avoiding directly mentioning the dispute between Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong.

The three aunts were anxiously trying to interrupt, but were stopped by He Yuzhu's eyes.

The deaf old lady took the bread and calmly led the two into the house, saying as they walked, "Zhu Zi, you are always so considerate. Come, sit down first, and let's talk while we eat."

He Yuzhu and Aunt Yang Ruihua did not refuse and sat on the stool with her.

The old lady tore open the bread, picked up a small piece of bread and put it into her mouth. She chewed it and drank some water. After swallowing it, she said, "Zhu Zi, are you in trouble?"

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Yes, deaf grandma, yesterday afternoon an old man broke his leg and was hospitalized.

He asked his third uncle Yan Bugui to replace him as the first uncle for a period of time and take care of some chores in the yard.

But the second uncle Liu Haizhong refused to accept it, and the two of them confronted each other. I would like to ask you to go and administer justice, otherwise I am afraid that this courtyard will not be able to celebrate this year..."

After hearing this, the deaf old lady sighed and said, "Well, that's it. It's just an acting position, not a real one. What is Liu Haizhong making a fuss about..."

"Deaf grandma, Old Yan also talked about this, but Liu Haizhong just wouldn't listen." The third aunt interrupted.

"Oh! Is that so? Then Zhuzi, can you please help me over there?" Seeing this, the old lady had to get up quickly. She was really afraid that something big would happen.

"Thank you, old lady..." The third aunt was so moved that she almost knelt down in front of the deaf old lady.

After the old lady finished speaking, she found her walking stick and was about to go out.

He Yuzhu deliberately walked up to her slowly and helped her out to the front yard.

Yang Ruihua was extremely anxious and wanted the old lady to go over quickly, but He Yuzhu refused her request on the grounds that the old lady was not in good health for walking fast. Yang Ruihua had no choice but to give up.

When the deaf old lady, He Yuzhu and Yang Ruihua arrived at the front yard, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were arguing fiercely.

Yan Bugui's face was already covered with bruises, and Liu Haizhong was pointing at Yan Bugui's nose and cursing, "Yan Bugui, you little bastard, do you think you can show off your power by currying favor with Yi Zhonghai and becoming this big boss? Don't you even consider your own weight..."

"Don't worry about my weight! The problem is that Old Yi has designated me as the boss..." Yan Bugui retorted with his neck stiff, looking like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

"You, I see you don't want to drink the wine you're toasting, so today I'm going to let you drink enough and let you know who's the boss in this yard..."

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he was about to go up and beat Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui was a weak scholar, so he was no match for Liu Haizhong, a third-level fitter. He was punched several times by Liu Haizhong and kicked in the chest by him. He grimaced in pain and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.

When Auntie Yang Ruihua saw Yan Bugui being beaten like this, she was so anxious that she rushed forward to help.

He Yuzhu stopped her and decided not to make a big deal out of it on New Year's Day.

The deaf old lady also slammed her cane on the ground a few times and shouted, "Liu Haizhong, what are you doing? Do you want to live in the military control committee for two years?..."

Liu Haizhong then stopped beating Yan Bugui, but his eyes were still filled with anger.

"Deaf old lady, look at the second uncle. On the first day of the first lunar month, he dared to hit me..." Yan Bugui said, pointing at Liu Haizhong.

Seeing Yan Bugui's face covered in bruises, Yang Ruihua was so distressed that she burst into tears. She couldn't help but yell at Liu Haizhong, "Liu Haizhong, you've gone too far. You're actually being so arrogant..."

"Humph, too much? You are not qualified to teach me a lesson! I don't obey anyone in this yard except Lao Yi..."

As Liu Haizhong spoke, he raised his fist towards Yan Bugui again, but was stopped by the deaf old lady.

"Okay, stop arguing! On New Year's Day, two uncles in our yard actually fought over the position of the eldest uncle, and the news spread to the people in other yards to laugh at them. ..."

After hearing this, both of them calmed down.

After a while, Liu Haizhong finally said, "Deaf old lady, who is the old man in this yard now?"

"Liu Haizhong, since you obey Yi Zhonghai, you should follow Old Yi's advice and let Yan Bugui be the boss of the courtyard and take charge of the affairs.

If Yi Zhonghai does not want the position of the eldest master after he is discharged from the hospital in the future, then the people in the hospital will nominate someone else.

Liu Haizhong, you injured Yan Bugui today, you should apologize to him..." the deaf old lady said sternly.

"Okay, I understand. I'll follow your arrangements, old lady. But I have one more request..."

"What request..."

"During the time when Lao Yi is in the hospital, Yan Bugui can handle any problems in the courtyard, but he can't interfere in my affairs. If he agrees, I will apologize to him immediately..."

When the deaf old lady heard his request, she turned to look at Yan Bugui and said, "Yan Bugui, what do you think..."

Yan Bugui hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I promised him..."

The deaf old lady nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Haizhong then put away his posture and snorted coldly, "You are smart. If it weren't for Lao Yi's sake, I would have to cripple you today..."

Yan Bugui looked pale, but he showed no sign of weakness. "Liu Haizhong, apologize to me..."

Liu Haizhong glared at Yan Bugui angrily. After a while, he lowered his proud head and said, "Old Yan, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn't have hit you..."

"Okay, it's settled. Yan Bugui, you don't have to mention it again. Today is New Year's Day. You two are tired. Go back and rest early..."

The old lady waved her hand, then turned to He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, I'm tired too. Please help me go back! And by the way, check if the rain has stopped."
