Chapter 97

He Daqing rushed out from the courtyard.

Wan Ping'an had just snatched the clothes away, and he had been sitting at home, failing to react in time.

He chased them out and saw Seeing Shazhu being beaten.

"Uncle He, I am acting according to the rules of the courtyard."

"I transported some pumpkins back, intending to place them in front of my own window."

"Seeing Shazhu, Yi Zhonghai, and Jia Zhangshi stopped me, saying there are rules in the courtyard, and that using the courtyard's public areas requires paying rent, otherwise they will be thrown out!"

"I asked Seeing Shazhu, your family didn't pay rent, yet you hung your clothes in the public area; throwing them out is acting according to the rules."

"If you want to blame someone, blame Seeing Shazhu; what does it have to do with me?"

Wan Ping'an sneered.

"Uncle He, pay attention to where you hang clothes and quilts in the future; if you put anything in the public area, pay rent first, to avoid being thrown out by others."

Wan Ping'an mocked him with biting sarcasm.

He Daqing was stunned.

Wan Ping'an's statement sounded flawless.

"Everyone has heard it too; when you hang clothes, quilts, vegetables, or place other things, remember you must pay rent."

Wan Ping'an dragged everyone into the water; if rent must be paid, everyone pays together!

In an instant.

Everyone reacted.

Yi Zhonghai was targeting Wan Ping'an, but he had hit everyone with the same stick!

If the rules aren't changed, everyone will have to pay rent in the future!

Everyone glared fiercely at Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai's scalp had been tingling the whole time.

It's ruined!

He finally realized it!

"Cough, cough, I was just joking with Ping'an; I didn't expect him to take it seriously."

"The public area of the courtyard belongs to everyone; everyone can use it without paying rent!"

Yi Zhonghai backed down.

If he didn't back down now, based on the rule of paying rent for public areas, everyone could mob him, and his position as First Elder would be lost.

Targeting Wan Ping'an, another complete failure!

Hmph!

Wan Ping'an waved his hand, having people transport the two carts of pumpkins into the courtyard.

"You little brat, you're not listening to me again?"

"Get back here, watch how I deal with you!"

He Daqing slapped Seeing Shazhu, glared coldly at Yi Zhonghai, and went home.
