After leaving the office, Hua Rendong went straight back to Zhou County, just in time for dinner.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Zhou Laiying mumbling, "There's a place downstairs to hang clothes and quilts. How can you hang them like hers? She's completely blocked our windows! She thinks it's too much trouble to hang clothes downstairs, so she should block out the sunlight from other people's houses from morning to night? She's blocked the windows on three sides, and the children have to turn on the lights to do their homework in broad daylight."

Hua Jianshe advised, "She doesn't hang out the quilts every day at home. Just be patient. You can't start a quarrel with the people upstairs and downstairs right after you move in, right?"

Zhou Laiying was unhappy, "Am I quarreling with her family? She is a good girl and doesn't bully others like this, why should I quarrel with her? Didn't you see the glass I just cleaned two days ago? She hung her wet clothes on the glass, and there were water spots on it. The wind blew them all into gray spots.

And the same thing goes for that crappy chicken in her house. She had to keep it in the building. Not to mention the smell that drifts in through the window, it starts crowing early in the morning before daybreak. How can people sleep?

And her daughter-in-law, what's the big deal about buying a pair of small leather shoes? She has to wear them at home, and the horseshoes on the heels make a constant clattering sound when she gets home."

"Don't be angry. If you get angry, I'll talk to the other family and we'll go upstairs and talk to them. If that doesn't work, we'll go to the factory union and sue them. Neighbors, this is too uncivilized."

Hua Jianshe sighed. Although moving to a new building was much more convenient than before, it seemed that the relationship with the neighbors was more difficult. In the past, my wife always quarreled with Aunt Niu and the other women, but it wasn't so bad.

But what can he do about it? That family is so unreasonable, and I heard that they have quarreled with the neighbors over these things before.

Especially for hanging clothes and raising chickens, water was dripping from the fourth floor and the glass on the third floor was unbearable to look at. There were so many clotheslines downstairs, but people were too lazy to go downstairs to hang the clothes, saying they were afraid their clothes would be stolen.

Not to mention raising chickens. As soon as you open the window, the smell will float in and attract flies and mosquitoes.

"Well, you decide. I have a husband in my family. I can't be the one to take the lead in everything, right?"

"Of course not, just leave it to me!"

With Hua Jianshe's assurance, Zhou Laiying no longer looked angry. Hua Rendong also understood that if the upstairs residents were uncultured, the people living downstairs would be in trouble.

But what does this mean? Those creepers climbing outside the wall are not just for show.

Hua Honeysuckle asked, "Do they hang clothes upstairs every day?"

Zhou Laiying said: "No, we have only moved here for a few days, and it is always like this every day."

"Okay, I'll take a look at it at home tomorrow."

The issue of hanging clothes for later discussion, but we can find a way to deal with the chicken. Even if we can't control the hen from laying eggs, at least we can clean up the chicken coop. We can't let our neighbors suffer because of the smell all the time, right?

After dinner, Hua Rendong asked Hua Aidang for an unwritten notebook, tore off a few pieces of paper from it, and started writing on it with a pen.

Zhou Laiying was curious about what she wrote, so she leaned over to take a look, but she couldn't recognize all the words. "My family doesn't have much. We just raise chickens, so what land do we have? We use the chicken manure to grow vegetables, but we don't clean up the land? What can't we do?"

Hua Rendong laughed, "My family is just uncultured. So what if we raise chickens? So what if we use the chicken droppings to grow vegetables and don't clean them up? If you can't stand it, just hold it in. If you don't accept it, come and fight me!"

Zhou Laiying was puzzled, "We don't have chickens at home? Besides, we can't do such a wicked thing!"

Hua Jianshe slapped his thigh and said, "Erhua's idea is a little bit bad, but it's good. Uncle will stir some paste later and put it up after dark."

Zhou Laiying was not stupid, and understood what Hua Jianshe said. He slapped Hua Rendong on the back and said, "That's why we say our Erhua is so smart. She can even think of such a dirty trick. I will go out for a walk tomorrow morning, and I will read to those who don't know how to read. I guarantee that before nightfall, her door will be knocked down by someone.

You guys should learn from Erhua. When you encounter problems, don’t just rush up to fight others. Use your brain more.”

Looking at the admiring looks that the siblings were giving her, Hua Rendong smiled awkwardly: This is not a good thing. Although I agree with what Zhou Laiying said, if anyone does something immoral in the future, they will say that they learned it from her. How damaging it is to her reputation.

Hua Jianshe didn't dare go out too early. He took a nap first and got up in the early morning. He put on a dark coat, held the paste in one hand and the homework paper in the other, and went out.

They didn't go far, they were just posted on the walls in front of and behind the buildings and on the telephone poles.

At that time, there were few people raising chickens in the city, and there were only two households in the entire building. They were both unreasonable on weekdays, so they were the kind of people who would be beaten away if the Red Guards came to their door. It was not unfair no matter who was accidentally injured.

Early in the morning, before dawn, I heard the clucking sound of a hen laying an egg from upstairs. It lasted for more than a minute before stopping.

After a while, the sound of roosters crowing came from someone's house nearby. Hua Honeysuckle covered her head with the quilt and went back to sleep.

I had just slept for a while when it was daybreak. Not long after, I heard the sound of banging on the door from upstairs. Several old ladies who got up early to buy groceries blocked the door and cursed: "Shameless, look how arrogant you are. If you dare to put up that kind of paper, don't hide in the house. You raised a chicken and made the whole building suffer. If you don't kill that chicken today, I will fight with your family!"

The Hua family members hurriedly got up, put on their clothes, and rushed out in their slippers.

I saw about a dozen old ladies crowded outside the upstairs door, and there were also a lot of people cheering on the stairs, all pointing at the door and cursing, but I couldn't hear what they were cursing.

Zhou Laiying could only pull the old lady standing at the back to ask, "Aunt, what happened? What immoral thing did she do so early in the morning to anger everyone?"

The old lady pointed at a boy who looked like a student and said, "Little boy, read the paper in your hand to Aunt Hua."

Gou Wazi unfolded the crumpled paper in his hand and began to read, "My family is just uncultured. So what if we raise chickens? So what if we use the chicken droppings to grow vegetables and don't clean them up? If you can't stand it, just hold it in. If you don't accept it, come and fight me! Auntie Zhou, she told me to come and fight her, and here come the grandmas and aunties."

After saying that, Gouwazi shrugged helplessly.

Zhou Laiying could hardly hide the smile on her face. Although she had guessed that what Hua Rendong wrote would definitely be useful, she didn't expect the effect to be so good. She thought that at most the neighbors would spit at this family, but she underestimated the violent tempers of these old ladies. They came up and smashed the door directly.

I don’t know if the people inside were really scared or were trying to find a solution, but no one came out anyway.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Laiying went back happily to make breakfast and asked Hua Dahua and the others to stay and report to her on the progress at any time.

It was almost time to go to work and the three people who were going to work had to leave, but the people blocking the door upstairs did not disperse.
