Chapter 328

"I am holding a full-courtyard meeting so that everyone in the courtyard can hear and participate, as it may affect the unity of the courtyard."

Yi Zhonghai’s face darkened; why did Wan Ping'an have to stick his nose in again?

Wan Ping'an sneered.

He didn't say anything.

"Alright, the Sun family and Jia Zhangshi, you all go back. We will hold the full-courtyard meeting in half an hour."

Yi Zhonghai went home for the evening.

Some people dispersed, while others went straight to the meeting place.

Having just entered the new society, entertainment was very scarce, and some people had long since treated the full-courtyard meetings as entertainment.

By the time Wan Ping'an arrived, everyone was already there.

"Jia family, Sun family, come to the front. We are here to resolve the conflict between your two families. Why are you all sitting in the back?"

Yi Zhonghai presided over the meeting.

"Wuwuwu, neighbors, you must decide for me."

"The Sun family is too inhumane, bullying us orphans and widows, and they even snatched my daughter-in-law away. Today, the Sun family must compensate our Jia family!"

Before Yi Zhonghai could finish.

Jia Zhangshi was already crying and howling to complain.

"Jia Zhangshi, have you gone crazy from thinking about money?"

"Honghua went on a blind date with your Jia Dong, and the scene was so big at the time, who in the courtyard doesn't know?"

"Honghua has nothing to do with your family. By what right do you want money?"

Before Sun Laogen could speak.

Aunt Wang couldn't help but accuse her loudly.

Everyone nodded one after another.

When Liu Honghua went to the Jia family for the blind date, the scene was indeed quite large.

"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."

Yi Zhonghai was a bit annoyed.

Couldn't Jia Zhangshi and Aunt Wang be quiet before he spoke?

"Some time ago, Old Jia passed away, leaving the Jia family with only orphans and widows. They also suffered a rat infestation, and the Jia family’s savings were all carried away by the rats."

"The Jia family’s life is very pitiful!"

"Sun Laogen, your family of five has four people with jobs, and your combined wages exceed mine."

"The Sun family lives a very happy life."

"I have always said that our courtyard is united and friendly."

"You should carry forward that spirit and help out the Jia family!"

Yi Zhonghai directly favored the Jia family.

"First Elder, aren't you favoring the Jia family too much?"

"I..."

Aunt Wang was not going to stand for it.

Buzz!

The neighbors were whispering.

Yi Zhonghai was favoring them so obviously that many people couldn't stand it anymore.

"Sun Laogen, you are the head of the family, why aren't you speaking?"

"Our courtyard is a united and friendly Sihe Academy, and those who live here are compassionate and loving people. If you have no compassion, you cannot stay in this courtyard!"

Yi Zhonghai threatened Sun Laogen.

If you don't listen, you’ll be kicked out!

"Sun Laogen, Aunt Wang, the First Elder has spoken. You should compensate the Jia family, so just listen to the First Elder and compensate them!"

Wan Ping'an spoke up.

Instantly.

The scene was silent.

What trick was Wan Ping'an playing?

Wasn't he always at odds with Yi Zhonghai?

Even Sun Laogen and Aunt Wang were stunned!

"Mom, Ping'an said we should listen to the First Elder. Let’s pay the money!"

Sun Tiezhu was the first to react.

He didn't know what Wan Ping'an was planning, but he trusted him.

"Alright, we’ll listen to the First Elder!"

Sun Laogen nodded.

Aunt Wang was still a bit unconvinced, but Sun Laogen was the head of the family.

She generally wouldn't oppose what he decided, so she went home to get the money and, in front of everyone, gave Jia Zhangshi one hundred yuan.

She was very reluctant!

She didn't understand Wan Ping'an at all!

Hahaha!

Jia Zhangshi laughed very happily.

The meeting adjourned.

Yi Zhonghai felt very uneasy and went to find the Deaf Old Lady.

"Foolish, foolish, you are too foolish!"

"How could you let the Sun family compensate the Jia family?"

"Even if you want Jia Dong to support you in your old age, you cannot favor the Jia family so much. Look at the people in the courtyard; are the looks they are giving you still right?"

The Deaf Old Lady raised her cane, wanting to give Yi Zhonghai a whack.

Then she sighed helplessly and put the cane down.

"I, I don't think there’s anything wrong with what I did, right?"

"I made it very clear: the Jia family’s life is hard, and the Sun family has four people working, so they should carry forward the spirit and help the Jia family."

Yi Zhonghai also felt it was a bit inappropriate.

But he believed it was only slightly inappropriate, not a major matter of principle, and wouldn't have much impact.

At this time.

The Sun family quietly left the Sihe Academy and came to the Neighborhood Office.

Director Wang had just finished work and was still in his office.

"Director Wang, I beg you, find us another place to live, even if the environment is worse, our family wants to move out."

Sun Laogen pleaded.

Aunt Wang and Sun Tiegang also demanded to move to a different place.

"Sun Laogen, you should know that housing is very tight."

"Besides, your family lives in the Sihe Academy, and you live quite well. Why move suddenly?"

Director Wang was very confused.

"I can't say, Director. Just let us move!"

Sun Laogen shook his head.

"Yes, we can't say. If we say it, someone in our family will die."

Aunt Wang nodded.

"What’s going on?"

Once Director Wang heard that someone might die, he immediately took it seriously.

Judging by the Sun family’s behavior, they were being coerced, not acting voluntarily. Who had such audacity?

Even the Neighborhood Office couldn't force anyone to move without a reason.

"We can't say, Director Wang. Just pity our family and let us move away!"

"Yes, Director Wang, I’m about to take a wife, and I don't want to die without knowing why."

"Yes, just let us move away."

The Sun family members spoke one after another, but they refused to say why they wanted to move, only insisting on moving.

"Sun Laogen, I cannot approve your move without a reason!"

"Unless you tell me your reason."

The less the Sun family said, the more Director Wang wanted to know. This was the biggest source of instability, perhaps a ticking time bomb.
