Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

"Old Yi, I think this is what the people want. Jia Zhang is not a human being, so of course the people in the hospital must stop her from committing crimes. And Li Dongfang... Section Chief Li is now helping everyone in the hospital. How can he be inciting the masses? You can't be a rogue leader." Originally, the second uncle Liu Haizhong was quite dissatisfied with Li Dongfang's provocation of the uncles in the hospital, but with so many people around, he didn't dare to stand up and say anything. However, Yi Zhonghai's words reminded him that Li Dongfang is now a leader. The factory's loudspeaker had just broadcast it at noon today, and it was broadcast three times at once. In the future, Li Dongfang will have a certain say in the factory's recruitment. If he curries favor with Li Dongfang now, and he makes further progress in the future, might he also have the opportunity to be promoted to a small official... Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong immediately supported Li Dongfang without hesitation.

"Yes, Lao Yi, I've long been fed up with Jia Zhang's spreading feudal superstition in the courtyard every day. Now it has caused public outrage. I don't think it's anyone's fault. Besides, some things can be solved through education in our courtyard. It's better for us to solve them ourselves, otherwise it will affect the selection of civilized courtyards." Yan Bugui, who had benefited the most, also pushed his glasses and stood up to speak.

Before anyone could react, Yan Jiefang slapped Jia Zhang more than ten times with both hands. If the white flour was mixed with a little corn flour, it would be enough for their whole family to have dumplings. However, he must have mixed less white flour and made more double-mixed flour. He had figured it out in an instant.

At this time, the aunt who had been hiding in the house and peeking came out, pulled Yi Zhonghai and said, "Old Yi, Dongfang is a good child. Today, Jia Zhangshi did something wrong. Huairu has always taken care of Dongfang. If Dongfang saw Huairu being wronged and remained indifferent, then he would be heartless and ungrateful, wouldn't he? Do you want everyone in the yard to be like that?"

Yi Zhonghai was also stunned when he heard this. Could it be that it was his indulgence that allowed Jia Zhang to bully others in the courtyard? Jia Zhang's fat was almost as heavy as his and his wife's. Was it really his fault? However, he still refused to admit it and said, "Then Li Dongfang couldn't do this either. Look at how Jia Zhang was beaten."

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai's words had softened, Auntie continued, "Old Yi, do you think that all these people in the yard are here for Li Dongfang's bowl of white noodles? It's because Jia Zhang has done too many immoral things, and everyone wants to take this opportunity to vent. And everyone is very measured, otherwise these dozens of slaps would have beaten her to death."

At this time, Li Dongfang's flour had been distributed, but the people queuing up to be slapped were still going on. Jia Zhang's face had become as swollen as a pig's head, and had grown several times larger. Even so, Jia Zhang was still mumbling something in her heart, and one could tell without even thinking that it was definitely not something good.

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and glared at Li Dongfang. Li Dongfang looked at him without any fear. He flicked his sleeves and turned to go home.

The aunt looked at Li Dongfang and said, "Dongfang, I want to apologize to you on behalf of your uncle. He was confused today. Don't take it personally. He meant well."

Since Auntie was speaking in a friendly manner, Li Dongfang was not one to take advantage of her, so he said, "Auntie, I know I got a little carried away today. I'll go and apologize to Uncle some other day."

The lady took Li Dongfang's hand, patted it and said, "We all live in the same courtyard, so why should we apologize? We still have to help each other in the future, right? Okay, I'll go back first, and you should also go to bed early."

The people queuing to be slapped in the face finally disappeared, and several female comrades worked together to throw Jia Zhang back to her own home. Several men also lifted the door of her house and closed it for her. After all, it was so cold that they left the door open all night. No one knew what would happen to Jia Zhang. Jia Dongxu and Banggeng would definitely not be able to protect her, after all, they were not as fat as Jia Zhang.

Li Dongfang was just about to say a few polite words and go home when he felt someone was staring at him. Turning his head, he saw a little girl of about thirteen or fourteen with two pigtails looking at him quietly. Upon closer inspection, it was Yu Shui. This little girl had also been in the queue, but her legs were slow and she was too far back in the queue, so she didn't get any white flour.

Seeing her resentful look, Li Dongfang felt like laughing, so he motioned her to wait, turned around and went back into the house, took out a few apples, not very big, and handed one to He Yushui. He Yushui immediately gave Li Dongfang a sweet smile, skipped back to the house, and shouted, "Brother, brother, get up and eat the apple, this apple is big!"
