Chapter 44: No Gifts Accepted During the Holidays This Year!

~9 min read 1,787 words

Time is like a wild donkey; once it starts running, it never stops.

And Zhou Yi has now finally come to understand the problem of "difficulty in enforcement" that Lawyer Fang spoke of.

Or perhaps in the eyes of some, a Court judgment should just be enforced according to the law, so why would there be any difficulty in enforcement?

This question is very complex, not something that can be explained in a few words, so I won't go into it.

The other party accepted the judgment without an Appeal, paid the compensation money, and indeed, there was no noise for the first two days.

This also made Zhou Yi feel that he should have succeeded, but the fifty percent progress shown by the System Task told him that things probably wouldn't be that easy.

And time had already reached the evening of the third day.

This evening was very special starting from seven or eight o'clock, because Zhou Yi heard those familiar sounds once again.

The sound of glass balls, rubber balls, and all sorts of toys crashing onto the floor, the sound of tables and chairs being moved and scraping against the ground—it was almost no different from usual.

He had originally thought that the other party would stop when it was time to sleep, but he ended up waiting until twelve o'clock, and the noise from upstairs still hadn't stopped!

He couldn't sleep; he truly couldn't sleep. As soon as he brewed even a little bit of sleepiness, the noise upstairs would ring out; it was so well-coordinated that one might even think the people upstairs knew exactly when he was trying to sleep!

He put on his equipment again and went upstairs to knock on the door; it didn't take long for someone to come out.

"What is your family doing? Did you not read the Court's judgment? Why is it still so noisy now!" Zhou Yi said.

Xu Yufeng, however, wore a look of disdain: "So what? The Court judged, and I complied. I paid you the money. My Rui Rui was even deliberately quieter playing tonight, and that's still not enough? Let me ask you, what exactly do you want my family to do? Do you only stop when my family is dead?"

"Judgment, my foot. Come on, come arrest me! I'm telling you, this is just how my family does things!"

"You call that playing? That was such a huge commotion all night long..."

The two were arguing too loudly, and it was truly very late, so neighbors who had been woken up soon appeared in the hallway.

Liu Nainai and her group didn't even know what to say; didn't they say they were going to have a lawsuit before? Why were they starting to argue again now?

Finally, someone probably couldn't stand it anymore. After all, it was twelve o'clock at night, and everyone had to get up early for work the next day. They barely managed to persuade them for a long time before getting both sides to stop arguing.

Zhou Yi endured the night and called the Court enforcement officers the next day.

They also said it was indeed difficult to enforce, because the enforcement officers couldn't stand guard every day, and since the other party had stopped the infringement for the first two days, it was really hard to say.

After receiving this reply, Zhou Yi hung up the phone and immediately called the Property Management and Community Office, but they also said there was nothing they could do.

Especially the Property Management, who told him straight out not to look for trouble anymore; it was better to live a peaceful life than to look for trouble every day.

Zhou Yi was almost stunned at the time; if I could live a peaceful life, would I go to all this trouble?

It's not you guys who can't sleep at night!

So Zhou Yi only left one sentence: "Fine, since no one has a way, then I'll use my own way!"

After saying that, Zhou Yi brought his filming equipment and immediately went upstairs to notify Liu Nainai and the others to move.

"Liu Nainai, and Auntie Fan, Uncle Qian, everyone is watching this; it really isn't that I, Zhou Yi, want to be difficult, but their family just doesn't want me to live properly!"

"So everyone, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Facing Zhou Yi's words, Liu Nainai quickly said: "It's fine, Little Zhou, it's no trouble. You are even willing to find us a place to live and pay the rent; how could we be dissatisfied?"

After sending Liu Nainai and her group away and getting them settled, it was already quite late.

Zhou Yi prepared to start his operation.

Five high-power speakers were already in position. In his house and his neighbors', the speakers were stuck to the ceiling, while at Liu Nainai's place, they were on the side walls, and as for the two units upstairs, they were on the floor.

Additionally, although he had already rented out the surrounding neighbors' houses, to prevent disturbance, he made a horn-like opening around the speakers to focus the sound.

To allow the sound to conduct better...

Afterwards, Zhou Yi began to call upon the System, which hadn't been online for a long time, and soon, that so-called "System-brand Floor Vibrator" appeared before his eyes.

Just looking at the exterior, it wasn't much different from the floor vibrators on Taobao, but the System introduced that the System-brand floor vibrator could minimize the impact on other residents of the building.

After all, everyone knows that once a floor vibrator is turned on, the entire side of the building is affected, and after a long time, the people in the building wouldn't be able to stand it.

If the people in this building were the type who just talk without feeling the pain, Zhou Yi could let them all experience it, but since he had no past grievances or recent grudges with these people, there was no need to be that ruthless.

Soon the floor vibrator was also set up, and the portable filming equipment captured all these scenes.

Then Zhou Yi picked up the camera and started recording.

"Hello everyone, I am A Yi. In the last video, I decided to sue my upstairs neighbor. Now, the Judgment has come down, and the other party gave me compensation, but good times didn't last long; it was quiet for two days, and then it started again."

"Everyone look, this is the situation from last night. I even feel like the sound is louder than before. I looked for the enforcement officers, the Property Management, and the Community Office, and they all said there was really nothing they could do, so now I've decided to use my own method!"

"I turned around and rented four apartments across three floors—upstairs and downstairs—plus my own house, which allows me to directly surround the upstairs neighbors. I have installed speakers and floor vibrators in every room."

"Didn't that family say I was the one making trouble? Fine, I'll let them feel what it's like not to be able to sleep!"

"And as for me, I plan to go out and live for a while. I just don't believe it!"

Recording the video was basically Zhou Yi saying everything he wanted to say; these were his true feelings.

You said 'let's wait and see,' well, now I'll let you see.

He also bought a few sets of Monitoring equipment and installed them, connecting them to his phone; he wondered if this "good neighbor" would be satisfied with the gift he had prepared.

Once everything was ready, Zhou Yi went home to pack some things and then headed straight to the Guangming Hotel, which he had already booked.

This could be considered a bug in the System; the System's money could only be used for tasks, and he, Zhou Yi, going out to stay in a hotel was also to complete the task, so no problem there—naturally, he only chose the expensive ones.

It was already very late after finishing the check-in procedures, and Zhou Yi collapsed directly onto the bed.

Between helping Liu Nainai and the others move, setting up the speakers, and not having slept well before, he didn't want to move once he lay down.

He took out his phone to check the time; sure enough, it was late, almost eleven o'clock.

No need to say more, he barely got up to wash up and then fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. He had already set the floor vibrators and speakers; they would come on time every day...

Zhou Yi was already asleep, sleeping soundly, and at this moment, in the Yuefu Residential Quarter, upstairs.

It was still very lively here; the little grandson was like a perpetual motion machine, playing wildly everywhere, and the commotion he caused was even louder than the previous few days.

However, as time slowly passed, a trace of fatigue appeared on the little grandson's face.

"Mom, let's sleep too. It's getting late. Look, Rui Rui has been playing all day," the daughter-in-law, Liu Jia, said.

Xu Yufeng nodded: "Oh, it's past twelve, then let's sleep. I'm tired too. They said they are going to dance a new dance tomorrow, so we have to go early."

Just at this moment, the son Zhao Xun at the side spoke up: "Mom, Jiajia, do you two feel like the surroundings are exceptionally quiet today?"

Eh? Xu Yufeng and Liu Jia frowned at the same time; they hadn't noticed until it was mentioned, but now that he said it, it really was.

Usually there would always be some sounds around, but today it was surprisingly quiet!

However, everyone was sleepy by now, so getting some sleep was more important.

Xu Yufeng yawned as she came to the bed, preparing to have a good sleep.

Yet, just as she closed her eyes and felt sleepy, a very loud sound suddenly reached her ears.

"This year for the holidays I don't accept gifts, if I accept gifts I only accept Brain Gold..."
