Siheyuan: After I moved in, the compound became a mess

Yi Zhonghai's face was numb. After a while, he let out a long sigh and reached out to wipe the tears of the old lady.

"This is our fate. It has nothing to do with you. We have survived all these years without a child. Why make it difficult for yourself?"

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's comfort, the aunt cried even more sadly.

The neighbors were also upset when they heard this. One woman who usually got along well with the aunt wanted to go forward and help the two up, but was pulled back by her husband.

"Why are you pulling me? Let go."

Aunt Wang from the middle courtyard turned around and glared at her husband, "You are afraid of offending Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong, but I am not."

Uncle Wang could only shake his head helplessly: "This is not a matter of offending anyone, I just can't stand what Yi Zhonghai did before."

Aunt Wang frowned and said, "Why didn't you mention it before? Now that his aunt is crying like this, how can I just ignore it?"

"What's the point of bringing it up now? I'm doing good by not adding insult to injury."

Uncle Wang glared at her, turned around and walked away angrily.

Aunt Wang stepped forward and pulled up the old lady. After comforting her for a while, the two of them helped Yi Zhonghai up.

I have to admit that Yi Zhonghai is still strong and healthy. He can still stand up after being beaten like that. I don’t know if the mother and son Jia Zhang not far away are pretending. They have been lying on the ground for such a long time.

Yan Jiecheng had already gotten up from the ground. While everyone was watching Yi Zhonghai getting beaten, he would go over and kick Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu from time to time.

At this moment, he was sitting on the steps under the window of the west room of Shazhu's house, smoking and staring at Jia Zhang's mother and son.

Seeing how badly Yi Zhonghai was beaten, the aunt thought of reporting to the police, but was opposed by Yi Zhonghai.

"Go and see how Dongxu and the old sister-in-law are doing. If they are fine, forget it. Even though I am no longer the head of the courtyard, as a member of the courtyard, my stance will not change. The courtyard's affairs should be resolved within the courtyard. I will not cause trouble for everyone or the public security comrades."

Yi Zhonghai's eyes were so weak after being beaten by Xu Damao that he could hardly open one of his eyes, but he still spoke righteously.

Wang Dabao heard the sound from not far away and almost couldn't help but applaud Lao Yi.

"Humph, you sanctimonious old fellow, as if no one is afraid of reporting to the police." Liu Guangtian snorted coldly and glanced at Wang Dabao, "Uncle Dabao, what do you think we should do next?"

"Yes, Dabao, you see that the normal election process has been messed up by Master Yi Zhonghai and his apprentice. Do you still want to continue?"

Liu Haizhong held his waist and asked Wang Dabao for instructions.

"Go on, why not?"

Wang Dabao patted Liu Haizhong on the shoulder and said, "Old Liu, you were very brave in subduing the troublemakers just now. Now organize everyone to return to their seats and let Damao speak. The position of mediator has been decided."

Liu Haizhong nodded, turned around and said a few words to Yan Bugui, then walked towards the crowd.

"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."

"It was just a farce, someone tried to disrupt the election scene, but the incident has been settled. Now everyone go back to your seats and sit down. Let's continue the unfinished process."

Yan Bugui seized the opportunity to come forward and say a few words. He took off his glasses and wiped them, and found a crack on the left lens.

This scared Yan Bugui. He looked at his glasses over and over again, and finally confirmed that there was indeed a crack. His face immediately fell. It would cost a lot of money to repair the glasses.

Seeing Yan Bugui's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip out of water, Xu Damao leaned over to take a look and said, "Uncle, how much does it cost to repair these glasses?"

"This is more than two dollars, right?!"

Yan Bugui's eyes were dull and he almost cried, "Oh, I was careless. This time the loss is huge. I might as well have taken a few more kicks."

Xu Damao was still excited and had high hopes for the mediator he was about to get. "How about this, Uncle San, you just wear them for now. It's almost the New Year, and I'll have more opportunities to show movies in the countryside. I'll pay for your glasses to be repaired then."

After saying that, Xu Damao raised his head and looked like he was going to take care of me.

Yan Bugui was stunned, and slowly raised his head to look at Xu Damao, with hope in his eyes: "Damo, are you serious? You can't make fun of the Third Uncle!"

"It must be true. I, Xu Damao, firmly believe it. How can it be false?" Xu Damao seemed to be very disdainful of Yan Bugui's suspicion. "If you don't believe it, you can repair it yourself. Then give me the ticket and I will reimburse you."

"Then...then let's wait for you to help Uncle San to fix it."

After Yan Bugui got the confirmation, he showed a flattering smile on his face: "Da Mao, the two votes from Uncle San just now were all cast for you, you really didn't let me down!"

Xu Damao smiled and said, "Just wait and see. I'm sure he'll do a better job than Yi Zhonghai."

Before the election, Liu Haizhong said that whether he could hold the position of mediator firmly depended on the supervision of the other two mediators. At this time, he had to offer some benefits to bribe Liu and Yan.

Originally, the lady wanted to help Yi Zhonghai go home, but Yi Zhonghai insisted on sitting back in the seat where he had held the meeting and watching what happened next.

Jia Zhang and her son had suffered enough, and Aunt Wang couldn't bear to add insult to injury, so she helped them back to their previous seats.

Although Sha Zhu didn't win the election, he was very happy because he had just watched a great show. However, after sitting down and seeing Xu Damao in front of him, the smile on his face quickly disappeared.

When he thought about how this jerk Xu Damao would show off in front of him all the time, he felt like there was a stone blocking his heart and he couldn't breathe smoothly.

With a cold snort, Sha Zhu crossed his legs and prepared to think of a way to stop Xu Damao from taking the throne.

However, he knew clearly in his mind that he must not get into physical conflict with the people in front of him, otherwise he would end up like Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu.

What's more, his arm hasn't healed yet, so he might be worse off than these two.

"Well, I have something to say as well."

Yan Bugui put on his glasses, sorted out his thoughts and began to speak, "There are always some people in our courtyard who do not abide by the rules, intending to split everyone's unity and disrupt the peaceful and harmonious living atmosphere of the courtyard. I will not name them here. I hope these people can reflect on their words and deeds after returning home."

"Just now, the three of us mediators and the family members came together to suppress these factors that were not conducive to unity. I hope that if this happens again in the future, everyone can work together. We are a collective and we must face it together."

Liu Haizhong felt a little uncomfortable listening to this. How could Yan Bugui be so eloquent and speak so well? No wonder Yi Zhonghai didn't give him a chance to speak when he was in power!

Wouldn't this give him a chance to speak and take away his position as the boss?

"Old Yan, just say a few words and get started." Liu Haizhong interrupted Yan Bugui who wanted to continue speaking, "Just announce that Xu Damao will serve as the mediator."

Yan Bugui was very unhappy about being interrupted, but he said everything he wanted to say. This was much more enjoyable than when Yi Zhonghai was in power. At least Liu Haizhong knew to let him say a few words.

"Okay, I won't say any more."

"The vote count has been announced to everyone. There is no fraud. So I declare that Comrade Xu Damao is now officially the acting mediator of the Red Star Courtyard!"

"Everyone, give a round of applause and encouragement. Next, please let Xu Damao speak!"

There was sporadic applause, but Xu Damao didn't care about it. He was about to take two steps forward and bow to everyone, but he heard a sarcastic voice.

"I have to remind everyone that Xu Damao's style is not very good. Don't let our entire compound be implicated."
