Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan
Chapter 65: Lesson
Jia Dongxu originally wanted to learn his mother's trick. No matter who it was, as long as he spoke first, he would be right. However, what Jia Dongxu never expected was that Zhou Jin slapped him in the face without saying a word.
This time Zhou Jin did not hold back his strength. After this slap, half of Jia Dongxu's face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And Banggeng's next words made Jia Dongxu understand what was going on.
Although Banggeng has slowly started to get better without Jia Zhang's education during this period, this is after all the result of teaching by example and exposure since childhood, and it is not something that can be changed in just over a month.
But now Jia Dongxu has no idea what to do. He is a mama's boy and has no opinions of his own. In the past, whenever he encountered such things, it was Jia Zhang who stepped in.
The most important thing is that the person he offended this time was Zhou Jin, the living devil who sent his own mother to prison personally, so Jia Dongxu started to feel scared before the fight even started.
But Banggeng is his son after all. If his son was beaten, it would be too embarrassing for him as a father to dare not say a word.
At this time, Qin Huairu should have seen her husband's predicament, and she had to come out to rescue him, otherwise the Jia family would be embarrassed again.
So Qin Huairu walked over from the crowd, picked up Bang Geng, said a few words of comfort, and then spoke to Zhou Jin.
"Zhou Jin, I don't know what my son did, but it's unreasonable for an adult like you to attack a child."
Zhou Jin knew that Qin Huairu was a powerful character, so he never dared to underestimate her. Facing Qin Huairu's questions, Zhou Jin naturally told the truth.
"Qin Huairu, you don't need to argue here. Everyone in the courtyard knows what kind of person your son is. If he dares to snatch my sister's firecrackers, he should be prepared to be punished by me.
This is the first time, and I am just giving him a small punishment. If he dares to attack my sister again in the future, I don't mind crippling him. You don't have to doubt whether I am scaring you. If you don't believe me, you can try it.
Also, Bang Geng just tried to snatch my sister's firecrackers, which scared her and left her with a psychological trauma. Your Jia family must compensate my sister 20 yuan for mental damages."
Qin Huairu originally just wanted to take advantage of Zhou Jin to bully the weak and get some compensation from him. Even if she couldn't get the compensation, she could just let it go.
However, what Qin Huairu never expected was that Zhou Jin not only ignored her topic, but threatened her instead, and even asked her to pay 20 yuan in mental damages.
No matter what, Qin Huairu was just a rural woman. She was just smarter and quicker than the average person, but facing Zhou Jin's dominance, she still had no way to deal with it.
So she had to look to Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu for help. She knew what kind of person Jia Dongxu was. He must have been scared at this time, and it would be useless for him.
Originally, Yi Zhonghai was ready to stand up when Zhou Jin slapped Jia Dongxu for the first time, but he held back in the end. He thought that he was not the one in charge now, and even if he stepped forward, he would not be able to solve any problems, and he might even bring shame upon himself.
So Yi Zhonghai was ready to see how the two managers were going to deal with the situation. However, Yi Zhonghai did not see the two managers come forward, but Qin Huairu stood up instead.
Unfortunately, she was no match for Zhou Jin and was completely defeated in just one round. She even looked at him for help.
Yi Zhonghai knew that he had to take action, otherwise it might disappoint everyone in the Jia family. If so, not only would his previous efforts be wasted, but his pension business might also collapse halfway.
So Yi Zhonghai also walked out of the crowd and stood between Zhou Jin and the three people from the Jia family.
Just when Yi Zhonghai was about to cast a spell, Bang Geng seemed to have seen a savior. He broke free from Qin Huairu's arms, came to Yi Zhonghai, took Yi Zhonghai's hand, and then pointed at Zhou Jin and said.
"Grandpa Yi, he was the one who beat me up. He was the one who killed this little bastard's whole family. You have to help me get revenge, and you have to compensate me for all the firecrackers that cost me money."
When Banggeng said this, not only Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were stunned, but even Yi Zhonghai was shocked.
How dare you, a little boy? Have you forgotten how your grandmother went to jail? How dare you scold Zhou Jin like that?
At this time, Yi Zhonghai no longer had any good feelings towards Banggeng, but after all, he was the only son of his apprentice, so he had to be protected. Just when Yi Zhonghai was thinking about how to exonerate Banggeng.
Zhou Jin took action immediately. He took a step forward, slapped Bang Geng in the face, and then kicked him away again. Fortunately, it was winter and everyone was wearing thick clothes.
Otherwise, this kick alone would be enough to make Bang Geng suffer. After Bang Geng landed on the ground, he immediately burst into tears in pain.
Yi Zhonghai saw that Zhou Jin was so unwilling to give him face that he had already stood up. Even if it was Banggeng's fault, why did an adult like you have to compete with a child?
So Yi Zhonghai's old problem came back again, impulse took over his brain, and he started questioning Zhou Jin.
"Zhou Jin, you are awesome. You are an adult, but you beat a six-year-old child repeatedly in front of so many people. Do you still have a conscience? Do you know the law?"
As the quarrel in the middle courtyard became more and more intense, people from the quadrangle came over to watch the fun.
Zhou Jin looked at Yi Zhonghai and replied without any emotion on his face.
"Yi Zhonghai, who the hell do you think you are? How dare you stand here and bark about your incompetence? Get out of here right now. You are a level 6 worker who has been demoted and removed from your position as manager. You are not qualified to manage my affairs.
Besides, the second and third uncles didn't intervene, which means I did nothing wrong. But you, whose belt was not fastened tightly and you leaked out? Stop coming out and disgusting people, and get out of here quickly."
Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he was fuming and roared in frustration.
"Zhou Jin, regardless of whether I am the boss or not, you beat a child in public, that is wrong. You can't do whatever you want just because you are a cadre. For the sake of being neighbors, you just need to pay Jia Zhang fifty yuan for medical expenses, otherwise we will report it to the police station and see if you are still so tough then."
The people who came later didn't know the specific situation, but when they heard Yi Zhonghai say that Zhou Jin beat the child, they began to accuse Zhou Jin in a low voice.
Zhou Jin also heard the accusations from the crowd, but he didn't have the time or energy to pay attention to these fence-sitters. He directly confronted Yi Zhonghai.
"Old dog Yi, I think you are really used to being the dog of the Jia family! Whenever there is any disturbance in the Jia family, you come out to bite people.
Look, your master hasn't said anything yet. You are so loyal!
But it seems that you really don't understand what people are saying. The situation at the scene is so obvious. This guy is so uneducated that he tried to snatch the firecrackers from my sister. What's wrong with me trying to teach him a lesson?
You, on the other hand, don't even understand the specific situation, and you ask me to compensate the Jia family fifty dollars.
You really put aside the facts and performed them to the fullest! Besides, what qualifications do you have to ask me to pay you? Because you are dead and your family is extinct? Because you are shameless? Or because you sit in Jia Zhang's bed?
You still want to call the police? If you have the guts, go now! Just wait and see if I will be tough enough by then, idiot!
If you dare to say something again, I will beat you too."
Although a series of previous events caused Yi Zhonghai to lose his status as steward and seriously damaged the prestige he had accumulated over the years, since he had served as steward for many years, his long-standing majesty still remained in people's hearts, so everyone still retained a trace of respect for him.
However, surprisingly, at this special moment of New Year's Eve, Zhou Jin actually denounced Yi Zhonghai without any hesitation.
At first, everyone was shocked, but when they thought about it calmly, they found that what Zhou Jin said was not groundless.
Not only that, from Zhou Jin's tone and words, people who arrived later realized that there seemed to be some unknown story hidden behind the matter.
So, some curious people began to ask those who had been in the Intermediate Court for details.
Soon, the news spread rapidly through word of mouth. Before long, everyone except Yi Zhonghai and others learned the truth of the matter and began to condemn Yi Zhonghai and his related personnel.
"I knew that wherever there were people from the Jia family, they would definitely be the ones causing trouble."
"Yes, you are right. Look at the people in their family, except Qin Huairu, they are all sneaky and pick locks, and they are all thieves. They are not good people."
"Yes, look at this idiot. He's only six years old, but he's already causing trouble and stealing everywhere. It's all because of Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai."
"That's right. Yi Zhonghai is really like the Jia family's dog. Whenever the Jia family gets into trouble, he comes out to take sides. In the past, everyone saw him as a big shot and had no choice but to swallow their anger. Now, he has been removed and still dares to come out and bark. He deserves to be scolded."
Yi Zhonghai also heard these people's accusations against him and was a little at a loss. Yi Zhonghai, who was originally calm in the face of difficulties, lost to Zhou Jin repeatedly during this period of time, causing his temperament to change.
But Yi Zhonghai is the kind of person who will never repent until his death is imminent. Even if he knows that he seems to have done something wrong, he will not admit it unless there is really no room for turning back.
So Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to start moral blackmail.
"Zhou Jin, even if it was Bang Geng's fault, he is just a child. As an adult and a cadre, is it not wrong for you to hit a child? Our compound has always emphasized respecting the elderly and loving the young. What you did is really a disgrace to your cadre status."
When Zhou Jin saw Yi Zhonghai starting his moral blackmail again, he simply ignored him and shouted at Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui who were hiding behind the crowd.
"Second uncle, third uncle, as the uncles in charge, why don't you come out to take charge of things at this time? You hide behind the crowd and watch this old dog barking here. Aren't you afraid that I will report to the street office later?
If you don't do anything, I don't think you will be able to do this temporary job."
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui actually arrived at the Central Courtyard early, but when they saw that it was Zhou Jin and the Jia family who were having a conflict, neither side wanted to get involved, so they had no intention of showing up.
Just at this time, Yi Zhonghai came out, and the two of them wanted to see what kind of counterattack this old Yi would make when he faced Zhou Jin again after being silent for so long.
After all, Yi Zhonghai had always ended in failure in front of Zhou Jin before. He thought that after so much time had passed, he would find a way to deal with Zhou Jin, so he dared to make a move again, but the result was even worse than before.
Yi Zhonghai lost his status as a big boss and was completely incompetent in front of Zhou Jin. He was scolded by Zhou Jin and had no power to fight back.
I thought that under Zhou Jin's leadership, the matter would be settled and everyone would go back to their own homes, but I didn't expect Zhou Jin to ask me to come out and deal with it.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui had no choice but to walk out of the crowd reluctantly.
Otherwise, if they were really reported to the street office, they would definitely be dismissed directly from their posts for such behavior, and then they would be like Yi Zhonghai.
The deaf old lady who had been watching the show nearby originally wanted to use this incident to attack Zhou Jin and enhance Yi Zhonghai's prestige in the courtyard, thus laying the groundwork for restoring his status as a master later.
But I didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai has been silent for such a long time, but still hasn't made any progress. He still uses the same few tricks, and when it comes to the Jia family's affairs, his butt unconsciously tilts.
In the past, at least you still had the status of a big boss. No matter whether you were biased or not, you, Yi Zhonghai, had the power of management.
But now, you are just an elderly neighbor. How can you succeed if you try to deal with Zhou Jin with the same old methods?
If someone wants to respond to you, they will say a few words to you; if they don’t want to pay attention to you, they will simply choose to ignore you, and you will have no way to deal with it.
Now, they have directly called out the two managers. Not only did you, Yi Zhonghai, get scolded for nothing, but your prestige was also hit again. I'm afraid that in the future everyone will call you the dog of the Jia family in private.
No matter how disappointed the deaf old lady is with Yi Zhonghai now, she must help him.
After all, Yi Zhonghai is the pillar of their retirement group. Once he falls, the retirement group will fall apart in an instant, and her own good days will be over.
So, before Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui could speak, the deaf old lady came to the yard with a cane and the support of Sha Zhu.
