Chapter 125: Chen Hong's Moment

Watching the women of his own household raise their hands, many hesitant people also raised their hands.

This matter again exceeded Yi Zhonghai's expectations.

His attempted show of force hadn't even started—how did it get knocked down already?

So how does he intend to use public opinion as a breakthrough to set terms for Chen Hong?

He must get a share of this planting venture that brings merit if successful and no loss if fails.

It would be best for him to preside, so the credit would be his.

Who would have thought that what was said would suddenly fall through?

The woman said, 'You didn't consult us.'

Chen Hong will not continue letting Yi Zhonghai control the pace.

Just now Yi Zhonghai caught her off guard.

She never expected that the District Government, Jiedao, and the director themselves had decided something, yet Yi Zhonghai dared to trip her up.

Now she must keep the pace in her own hands to prevent Yi Zhonghai and Liu Hai Zhong from causing trouble again.

Cough cough……

Chen Hong walked to the center and declared who would be the host today.

"Regarding the family farm matter, I believe everyone already understands."

"Today's meeting is also for this matter."

"What we need to discuss is whether to divide by household or by headcount."

"There's no need to say anything else."

Jia Dongxu stepped forward.

"Chen Hong, should we also discuss who will be in charge of hosting?"

"After all, the elders have always handled the courtyard affairs."

Chen Hong glanced at him and said disdainfully.

"You know they handle courtyard affairs, but now this is a Jiedao and district matter."

"What, Jia Dongxu, do you think the courtyard elders are more important than Jiedao and the District Government?"

"Why don't you go to heaven?"

"Besides, don't forget that the courtyard elder system was created to root out spies."

"Nowadays, many places have abolished the elder system."

"Moreover, the recent incident with Zheng Changgui has also left the subdistrict disappointed in the elders."

"The value of the courtyard elder system is now virtually nil."

"Nor will we let him become an obstacle to Jiedao and the district's development."

The elders of Courtyard 95 have not been abolished because the Steel Rolling Mill needs someone to manage the workers' dormitories, so they have been allowed to continue.

This is also why the Second Elder and Xu Damao were later able to bypass Jiedao and secure the position of First Elder.

Chen Hong's words essentially represent Jiedao's stance.

Just telling you to behave, otherwise you might as well not be courtyard elders.

At this, Jia Dongxu fell silent.

Don't end up harming your master while trying to help.

Chen Hong's words also made several elders' hearts skip a beat.

The era when they could do as they pleased is gone for good.

"Alright, let's discuss; voting will begin in five minutes."

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Hai Zhong were left speechless by Chen Hong.

Liu Hai Zhong sighed: "Looks like the chance to seize merit and get promoted is gone."

He quickly gave Yi Zhonghai a look, making Yi Zhonghai's words amount to nothing but hot air.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai gave Jia Dongxu a subtle glance.

Those discussing the division suddenly became emotionally charged.

Especially Jia Dongxu, Liu Guang Qi, and a few others, the argument grew more heated.

"Divide by household—why should we divide by headcount? The vacant land in front of our house naturally belongs to us."

"Damn your elder, is that house yours? Do you have a deed?"

"The vacant land is public property, so it naturally belongs to everyone; dividing by headcount is reasonable."

"Your elder, with your big family, you naturally want to count by heads."

"My family is small, so of course I want to divide by household."

"We should allocate by housing area; your family has more people, and they're not my children—why should we foot the bill for you?"

"This is impossible to say—have you heard the rumor?"

"What rumor?"

"The story that Jia Zhangshi and Yi Zhonghai cannot avoid telling."

"I'll be damned, you dare to slander my mother—I'll fight you."

…………

Suddenly the scene descended into chaos.

Yi Zhonghai saw this and gleefully thought: 'Let's see how you handle it—once Chen Hong opens a courtyard meeting and causes a mass incident, what face will you have left to preside?'

In the end, it still wasn't to my advantage, Yi Zhonghai.

I filed complaint after complaint, yet you reap the benefits—how could that be acceptable? Don't even think about it.

Chen Hong saw that several people had already started to fight.

Her anger flared up immediately; she had wanted to talk nicely with you, but you insisted on causing trouble, so let you see if my Supreme Ultimate was practiced in vain.

She strode forward with her long legs, took a step, grabbed Jia Dongxu's collar, and then lunged hard at Liu Guang Qi.

Pa—, the two collided in a full embrace and rolled into a ball.

Chen Hong again with two moves, separated the two people who were arguing and getting increasingly fierce; then with a force, the two were flung out, directly separated by several meters, the key being that they landed very steadily.

The people in the courtyard were instantly shocked by Chen Hong's maneuver.

Xu Damao said excitedly.

I didn't expect Elder Sister Hong to be so formidable.

He Yuzhu also felt a lingering fear; last time they had really held back.

A group of men were like chicks, played with by Chen Hong in the palm of her hand.

Combined with the intimidating presence from her huge physique.

It made the rolling Jia Dongxu and Liu Guang Qi forget to shout.

Chen Hong glared at them.

How is it, lying on the ground feels comfortable?

The two were startled and jumped up.

Today we lost face big time.

Yi Zhonghai was also shocked, his mouth couldn't close; is this a person?

These are all men, and you just made them quiet like that?

It's not that Dong Xu isn't trying; it's just that Chen Hong is too powerful.

Even the final method failed completely.

He slumped onto the stool, completely gave up; this achievement has no affinity with my Yi family.

Liu Hai Zhong also shuddered; he felt that his wielding of the big hammer couldn't withstand two moves against Chen Hong.

Chen Hong saw everyone in place, clapped her hands, as if to pat off the dust on her hands.

All right, time's up.

San Da Ye, come tally everyone's choice.

Those who agree to allocate by household, please raise your hands.

Scattered, a few people raised their hands.

Those who agree to allocate by headcount, please raise your hands.

This time more people were present, exceeding seventy percent of those who favored household allocation.

Chen Hong nodded.

Then those who didn't choose either option, come out and explain your opinions.

Those who were caught not participating, these people suddenly became nervous.

This, this, we think any choice is fine; we can accept it.

Yeah, we're indifferent.

Chen Hong, however you say, we'll do it.

Chen Hong glanced at them, then spoke solemnly.

Since it's a vote, everyone should participate; otherwise picking a few representatives would suffice—why bother voting?

Go yourself to San Da Ye's side to state your intention.

Chen Hong came here just to demonstrate her fairness and intimidation.

Let them understand that from now on, in this Siheyuan, I, Chen Hong, call the shots—don't give me any trouble.

This can also be considered a kind of alternative taming.
