Chapter 346: Can't find the window smasher, the masters pay compensation

~7 min read 1,374 words

Jia Zhang's wailing and the sound of breaking glass woke everyone in the courtyard again.

But this time, fewer people came to watch the excitement.

Some people were sleeping too soundly and didn't wake up.

"Jia Zhang, what are you doing again?"

Liu Haizhong was very impatient.

He had just fallen asleep and was woken up again; he was grumpy.

"Heaven-killing, our windows have been smashed."

"Liu Haizhong, you are the First Master now, you must catch the person who smashed the windows, compensate us for our windows, make him pay!"

When Jia Zhang was shouting, she looked at Wan Ping'an.

Wan Ping'an sneered.

It was indeed him who ordered the owl to do it, but who had evidence?

Even if they guessed it, it wouldn't work!

Liu Haizhong looked at the Jia family's windows; they were truly miserable, not a single piece of intact glass remained, and some small rocks were scattered on the ground.

Obviously.

The Jia family's glass had been smashed by rocks.

He glanced at Wan Ping'an; it was highly likely that Wan Ping'an did it, but where was the evidence?

Without evidence, he didn't want to provoke Wan Ping'an.

Even if he had evidence, facing Wan Ping'an, he wouldn't dare to go too far.

"Do you have any evidence?"

Liu Haizhong asked the Jia family.

The mother and son shook their heads; where would they get evidence?

Liu Haizhong expressed his helplessness; since they couldn't find anyone, he suggested they call the police.

"Liu Haizhong, Yan Fugui, you pay for my window glass."

"You two are the managing masters of the courtyard. When something happens and you can't find the thief, you should be the ones to pay."

Jia Zhang didn't dare to call the police.

She was afraid that the bad things she had done would be discovered.

Most people who do bad things feel guilty; when facing the police, they would look panicked, and Jia Zhang was a guilty person who did bad things.

"Get out!"

Liu Haizhong was very angry.

Why should he pay?

Yan Fugui was naturally unwilling either.

"I think what Jia Zhang said makes some sense. Liu Haizhong, Yan Fugui, as the masters of the Sihe Academy, you have the responsibility to maintain peace."

"When something happens and you haven't caught the person who did it, you have a certain responsibility. I think you should pay this money!"

Yi Zhonghai stood out with a smile.

Clap, clap, clap!

Wan Ping'an applauded.

Everyone was stunned; why was he applauding?

Yi Zhonghai felt that the situation was a bit ominous.

"From today on, everyone doesn't have to worry about being stolen from, nor do they have to worry about their homes being sabotaged."

"As long as there is a theft or sabotage and the culprit can't be found, the two masters will pay compensation. Liu Haizhong, are you two ready?"

Wan Ping'an said with a smile.

Yi Zhonghai said to pay once.

But Wan Ping'an said that from now on, the two masters would pay for everything.

"No, I won't pay a single cent!"

Liu Haizhong's eyes were wide open; he wasn't a sucker, and he didn't want to be one.

Yan Fugui also stated on the spot that he wouldn't pay a single cent.

"Yi Zhonghai, shut your damn mouth."

Liu Haizhong cursed Yi Zhonghai.

Wasn't Yi Zhonghai digging a hole for him?

"Liu Haizhong, this is where you are wrong."

"As the First Master of the courtyard, the Jia family is in trouble, and it's a pair of orphans and a widow; can't you carry forward the spirit and take care of them?"

"How are you acting as the First Master?"

Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to accept failure.

The neighborhood office let Liu Haizhong be the First Master temporarily and dismissed him; he was very angry and had been looking for an opportunity to screw Liu Haizhong over hard.

This was a rare good opportunity, he absolutely couldn't let it go!

"Yes, the First Master is right, the First Master must pay."

Jia Zhang was so excited she couldn't tell who the First Master was.

She called Yi Zhonghai the First Master, then turned around and called Liu Haizhong the First Master!

"Jia Zhang, you keep saying 'First Master,' who is the First Master in your mouth?"

Wan Ping'an asked with a smile.

"Of course it's Yi Zhonghai, he said he would pay."

Jia Zhang didn't react.

Liu Haizhong was furious.

He was a bureaucrat-obsessed person who always wanted to be an official; when he couldn't be an official, he became a managing master, and he had always wanted to replace Yi Zhonghai as the First Master.

Now he had his wish.

But Jia Zhang didn't acknowledge him!

"Jia Zhang, I am the First Master!"

Liu Haizhong was very angry.

"Uh, right, you are the First Master, Yi Zhonghai is also the First Master, you are both First Masters."

Jia Zhang replied.

"Jia Zhang, I am the First Master, Yi Zhonghai is not anymore; he was dismissed. You clearly know this, why do you still call him the First Master?"

Liu Haizhong questioned angrily.

"You pay me the money, and I won't call him the First Master."

Jia Zhang was waiting for Liu Haizhong on the money issue.

"Pay what money?"

"I didn't smash the glass."

Liu Haizhong certainly didn't want to be a sucker.

"Liu Haizhong, you are the First Master now, you..."

Yi Zhonghai was at it again.

"Shut up, I'll handle it, stop interfering."

Liu Haizhong wanted to give Yi Zhonghai a big slap.

If it weren't for Yi Zhonghai, could Jia Zhang make him pay?

Yi Zhonghai was just a troublemaker.

"Liu Haizhong, this is where you are wrong."

"Even if you are the First Master, I am an ordinary resident, you can't stop me from speaking, right?"

"Can't I express my own opinion?"

"I just think that as a managing master, since Jia Zhang's windows were smashed and you can't find the person who did it, you should pay."

Yi Zhonghai sneered.

He couldn't be the First Master, and he wouldn't let Liu Haizhong be a good First Master either.

"Yes, the First Master is right."

Jia Zhang still called Yi Zhonghai the First Master.

"Liu Haizhong, you must pay, and Yan Fugui, you are the Third Master, you have to pay too; you two each pay a share."

Jia Zhang's eyes were shining.

If two people each paid a share, she could earn an extra share.

"Haha, this is a good way to get rich."

"Whoever is short of money can quietly smash their own windows; as long as they can't catch anyone, they can ask for two shares of money. Don't you all agree?"

Wan Ping'an was watching him; he wasn't afraid of things getting big, he was only afraid they wouldn't be big enough.

"Yes, I'll smash our windows tomorrow."

"Let's smash them together."

"I'll smash mine too."

"Let's just smash all the windows in the courtyard, everyone can collect two yuan, this is a great thing!"

The crowd was noisy.

Some really wanted to make money, some were just joining the fun, and some wanted to deliberately make things bigger.

Liu Haizhong's face turned black.

Yan Fugui also glared at Yi Zhonghai angrily.

Is this how you watch things?

If they really paid, everyone would follow suit, and in a few days, he and Liu Haizhong would be bankrupt.

"Jia Zhang, I'm telling you, I won't pay."

"I'm done with your business, go call the police yourself."

Liu Haizhong turned and left.

"You come back, if you don't pay, don't think about leaving."

Jia Zhang grabbed Liu Haizhong.

Jia Dongxu had been watching the excitement; he also wanted to intervene, but he couldn't control Jia Zhang, and it was even more impossible for him to make Liu Haizhong pay, so he could only remain silent.

"Don't stop me!"

Liu Haizhong shook his hand off.

Jia Zhang took two steps back and sat on the ground with a thud.

"First Master Liu Haizhong is hitting people!"

"Wuwuwu, Heaven, please open your eyes and look!"

"This bastard Liu Haizhong is bullying us orphans and widows, I can't live anymore."

Jia Zhang started rolling on the ground.
