Chapter 363

Wan Ping'an's words hadn't even finished.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Yi Zhonghai's face was red and his neck was thick.

Because of the rumors about him and Jia Zhangshi, he didn't have the face to see anyone; the subdistrict office even sent someone to lecture him, telling him to eliminate the rumors as soon as possible.

"You're talking nonsense, I have nothing to do with Jia Zhangshi."

"I came with her because she was hit."

"As the First Elder of the Sihe Academy, I don't allow this situation to happen; Jia Zhangshi was hit, and the person who hit her must pay the price!"

"Qin Huairu is not from the Sihe Academy; daring to hit someone from the Sihe Academy, she must be cleared out."

Yi Zhonghai became more and more pleased with himself.

If he couldn't deal with Wan Ping'an, couldn't he drive Qin Huairu away?

Driving Qin Huairu away would disgust Wan Ping'an!

A small vent of frustration!

Slap!

Just as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking.

Wan Ping'an rushed up and slapped Yi Zhonghai, making him spin three times in place.

When he finished spinning and stopped, a slap print appeared on his left cheek, making him look like a funny clown.

"As the First Elder, can you not even be fair and just?"

"You didn't understand the situation at all, yet you want to drive Qin Huairu away; I see you and Jia Zhangshi are wearing the same pants, and you've probably slept together too."

Wan Ping'an mocked.

Everyone pointed and gestured.

Yi Zhonghai's old face was flushed red.

"Second Elder, Third Elder, you are also managing elders of the courtyard, are you just going to watch like this?"

"Wan Ping'an is a violent element, hitting people for no reason, aren't you going to manage him?"

"He can hit me today, and he can hit you tomorrow."

Yi Zhonghai saw Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui and wanted to drag them into the water too.

Let's go to hell together!

Holy crap!

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui were very annoyed; they didn't expect that they were just coming to watch the fun and got dragged into the water by Yi Zhonghai. Should they manage it or not?

Don't manage?

They are managing elders!

Manage?

Is Wan Ping'an someone easy to provoke?

Don't say the wrong word; they might end up like Yi Zhonghai, slapped until they have no face to see anyone!

"First Elder, I think Wan Ping'an makes sense; you are here to mediate conflicts, how can you make a judgment without asking anything?"

"You should ask about the situation first, get things clear, and then judge who is right and who is wrong."

Liu Haizhong wasn't stupid either.

He didn't talk about Yi Zhonghai getting hit, but held onto Jia Zhangshi's matter.

Based on his understanding of Jia Zhangshi, it was very likely that the fault in this matter lay with Jia Zhangshi.

As long as Jia Zhangshi was wrong, everything would be easy to handle.

Yi Zhonghai backing Jia Zhangshi was a mistake on top of a mistake; wasn't getting hit just serving him right?

"Second Elder makes sense."

"I think we should first clarify right and wrong, and once it's clear, then talk about other things."

Yan Fugui gave Liu Haizhong a thumbs up.

Well done!

Liu Haizhong smiled.

Holy crap!

Yi Zhonghai complained in his heart; how did Liu Haizhong change?

Shouldn't he be confronting Wan Ping'an directly?

Shouldn't he be putting on official airs?

"Fine! I'll make it clear!"

"Qin Huairu is not from our courtyard; her hitting Jia Zhangshi is an outsider entering our courtyard and hitting someone from our courtyard. Can we let an outsider bully us?"

"Shouldn't we drive the outsider away?"

Yi Zhonghai was an old fox and quickly thought of a way to change the subject.

Defining the matter as an outsider bullying someone from the courtyard.

Most people, the vast majority of people, would instinctively huddle together to exclude outsiders; even Wan Ping'an was no exception, let alone other residents in the courtyard?

"Wait a minute, Yi Zhonghai, what is your standard for judging outsiders and insiders?"

Wan Ping'an thought of something.

Isn't Jia Zhangshi also an outsider?

"Of course it's the household registration!"

Yi Zhonghai blurted out without thinking.

"Household registration?"

"Hahaha, Yi Zhonghai, think again, is Jia Zhangshi's household registration in our courtyard?"

"If we want to drive outsiders away, the first one to drive away is Jia Zhangshi."

Wan Ping'an smiled very brightly.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't smile anymore.

He remembered that Jia Zhangshi married in, but her household registration was still in the countryside.

Originally, Jia Zhangshi's household registration couldn't be moved to the city, but she had farmland in the countryside.

If she moved her household registration to the city, the farmland would be taken back by the village, so she didn't move her household registration over, just lived in the city.

From the perspective of household registration.

Qin Huairu was definitely an outsider.

Jia Zhangshi was of course also an outsider.

It was just that Jia Zhangshi had lived in the Sihe Academy for so many years that many people ignored the household registration and subconsciously treated her as someone from the Sihe Academy.

"My household registration is not in the Sihe Academy, but I am Old Jia's wife and Jia Dongxu's mother."

"I am a family member, and I am also an insider."

Jia Zhangshi had a bit of petty cleverness and defended herself loudly.

Qin Huairu was a bit anxious; was she going to be driven away?

"Don't worry!"

"With me here, no one can drive you away!"

Wan Ping'an grabbed Qin Huairu's small hand to comfort her.

Xu Damao's saliva was almost flowing out; if only he could touch Qin Huairu's small hand too?

"Yes, Jia Zhangshi is a family member, she is someone from the Sihe Academy!"

Yi Zhonghai nodded repeatedly.

"Bah!"

"Yi Zhonghai, your standards keep changing, clearly you are targeting Qin Huairu, and also targeting me; are you still fit to be the First Elder?"

Wan Ping'an mocked.

"I, I, I am doing this for the good of all the residents of the Sihe Academy."

"Everyone lives in the Sihe Academy and wants to live a peaceful life; outsiders are unstable factors, not to mention hitting someone from the courtyard."

"I suggest holding a courtyard-wide meeting, and we will vote together to drive Qin Huairu away!"

Yi Zhonghai found another reason.

Maintaining the peace of the courtyard and doing it for the good of the residents.
