Qin Huai Ru didn't even pay attention to Yi Da Ma, because she knew that as long as he heard that Bang Geng had been injured, he would come back even if she didn't call him back.
Yan Fu Gui didn't want to run, but then he thought, if he didn't go to the factory to tell Jia Dong Xu, he would still have to take Bang Geng to the hospital. So, he hurried and said, "Alright, I'll go to the factory and tell Dong Xu!"
Yan Fu Gui left. Qin Huai Ru looked at the aunts in the courtyard and said pitifully, "Yi Da Ma, Er Da Ma, San Da Ma, can you help me borrow a handcart? I need to take Bang Geng to the hospital."
They all lived in the same courtyard, and they were the family members of the head of the courtyard, so what could they say? They quickly went to borrow a handcart!
Jia Zhang Shi was not in the mood to care about her precious grandson. All she cared about was Er Da Ma's words. If she continued to cause trouble, she would be sent back to the countryside!
Half an hour later, Jia Dong Xu ran back to the courtyard, panting. Seeing the distraught Jia Zhang Shi, he anxiously asked, "Mom, what happened? Where's Bang Geng?"
As soon as Jia Dong Xu came back, Jia Zhang Shi slammed her butt onto the ground and started wailing loudly, "Dong Xu, Bang Geng has been disfigured! He was playing in the courtyard today, and he ran into the door of Er Sha Zi's house. His nose is all smashed, and he lost a lot of blood! What are we going to do!"
They were all family, so everyone knew each other well. Jia Dong Xu went up to her and whispered, "Mom, tell me the truth, did you ask Bang Geng to go to He Yu Cheng's house to get something?"
Jia Zhang Shi shook her head like a rattle drum.
"No, it wasn't me. I was sitting at the entrance of the house doing my needlework, and Bang Geng ran into the door on his own."
Hearing Jia Zhang Shi say that Bang Geng ran into the door on his own, Jia Dong Xu was furious, "Are you all just eating at home? You two, you couldn't keep an eye on one child at home?"
Seeing her son's face turn pale, Jia Zhang Shi thought about all the trouble she had caused recently and stammered, "Dong, Dong Xu, it's not Mom's fault. You know Mom's foot is injured, and I also have high blood pressure!"
Just then, Liu Guang Tian went to the street and called He Yu Cheng back. He knew what happened in the courtyard through his Fen Shen!
At the same time, Director Wang was also there. Upon hearing that the Jia family was causing trouble again, he went to the courtyard with He Yu Cheng!
As soon as they reached the alley, they saw Yi Zhong Hai shuffling towards the courtyard.
As soon as he saw Director Wang, Yi Zhong Hai knew that this matter couldn't be easily resolved!
"Director Wang, Yu Cheng! You're back?"
Seeing Yi Zhong Hai's anxious look, He Yu Cheng sarcastically said, "Yo, Yi Da Ye, you didn't go to work today?"
Director Wang was present, so Yi Zhong Hai knew that this was his good son's fault. So, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "I went to work. The courtyard had another incident, so I rushed back to take a look. Yu Cheng, it's just a small matter. Why do you need to trouble Director Wang? We can handle it in our courtyard."
Director Wang glanced at Yi Zhong Hai and said, "I want to see how you handle it. If you can't handle it, don't blame me for taking away your title of Yi Da Ye!"
Officials are more powerful than those below them. Yi Zhong Hai was the Yi Da Ye of the courtyard, but his power was not even as big as an ordinary employee at the street office. In those days, the street office had a lot of power. They managed everything, including the people's food, clothing, housing, and even their jobs.
Hearing Director Wang's words, Yi Zhong Hai's heart sank further!
He was already heartbroken about Bang Geng's smashed nose. He had also been blackmailed for five thousand yuan by He Yu Cheng. He was planning to make He Yu Cheng pay for this incident, because he was just a kid and would be scared. He would then use this incident to force him to take care of Bang Geng for life. Slowly, he would get his five thousand yuan back. Then, when He Yu Cheng couldn't take it anymore, he would pretend to offer him a solution and suggest he leave for the countryside, thus getting rid of the Jia family. The house would then belong to Bang Geng. It was a win-win situation!
But unexpectedly, Director Wang had arrived with He Yu Cheng.
He knew who was responsible without having to think about it. There was no one in He Yu Cheng's room, and the door was closed. How could Bang Geng running into the door have anything to do with He Yu Cheng? Furthermore, he had heard from Yan Fu Gui that Jia Zhang Shi, in her anger, had stormed into He Yu Cheng's room and smashed everything. He was definitely not in the right!
In the courtyard, Jia Zhang Shi kept saying it wasn't her fault. It was Qin Huai Ru's fault, and it was He Yu Cheng's fault!
"Woo-hoo, Lao Jia, you can protect my precious grandson! He's covered in blood, I'm so scared! It's all He's fault! That second fool from the He family! He hurt my Bang Geng! Take him away!"
As soon as they reached the middle courtyard, they heard Jia Zhang Shi yelling and causing trouble again.
Director Wang roared, "Jia Zhang Shi, what did I tell you? You are still promoting feudal superstition in the courtyard. Do you really think I won't send you to the cowshed!"
Yi Zhong Hai quickly explained, "Aiya, Lao Sao Zi, why are you like this? Even though Bang Geng got hurt, you shouldn't promote feudal superstition, even if you are anxious."
Like Yi Zhong Hai, Jia Zhang Shi originally intended to cause a scene and get all of He Yu Cheng's money back. But when she saw Director Wang, she was stunned. Of all the people in the capital, she was most afraid of Director Wang, because he could decide whether she stayed or left. If she really angered Director Wang, he could issue a document and send her back to the countryside. How would she survive then!
Seeing that Jia Zhang Shi was no longer yelling, Director Wang said with a cold look, "Who was in the courtyard at the time? Tell me what exactly happened."
The wife of Lao Chen, who lived next door to the Jia family, said, "Director Wang, we were all in the courtyard at the time. We were chatting, and then Bang Geng was running around playing. Suddenly, we heard Bang Geng crying. When we went forward, we saw Bang Geng running and accidentally bumped into Yu Cheng's door."
He Yu Cheng opened the door and looked at Jia Zhang Shi, coldly saying, "You bumped into my door and managed to damage it like this. Your precious grandson is quite impressive, Jia Zhang Shi."
Jia Zhang Shi's eyes darted around, and she didn't dare speak. Director Wang continued to ask, "What about the situation inside the house?"
Lao Chen's wife continued, "Later, Jia Zhang Shi said that Bang Geng fell and that it was Yu Cheng's fault. She was angry and rushed into Yu Cheng's house, smashing everything she could."
"Jia Zhang Shi!"
Director Wang's voice startled Jia Zhang Shi. Jia Zhang Shi stammered, "Wang, Director Wang, this is all He's fault! If he hadn't kept his door closed, my precious grandson wouldn't have fallen. How could his nose be smashed? You didn't see, he's disfigured! If he can't be cured, his life will be ruined. Did I do anything wrong by smashing his house?"
"Pfft!" This made Director Wang laugh.
"Jia Zhang Shi, does it affect you whether he closes his door or not? Even our street office doesn't have the right to manage people closing or opening their doors. Do you have the right to do that? Besides, did Yu Cheng ask Bang Geng to go to his door?"
At this time, Liu Guang Fu interrupted Director Wang, "Director Wang, Bang Geng first went into Sha Zhu's house, and then he ran to Yu Cheng's house."
"Liu Guang Fu, you little rascal, what are you talking about? Do you believe I'll rip your mouth off?"
He Yu Cheng coldly pushed open Sha Zhu's door. Sure enough, the inside of the room was also in disarray. He looked at Jia Zhang Shi and coldly asked, "Did you smash this too?"
Yi Zhong Hai knew that Jia Zhang Shi couldn't say anything more. This old woman was good for nothing. If she continued to talk nonsense, his good son would definitely be arrested and sent to a juvenile detention center.
He quickly said, "Director Wang, Bang Geng is just a child. He's been close to his silly uncle since he was young. Sha Zhu's house will be cleaned up by Qin Huai Ru later. Don't make Yu Cheng responsible for Bang Geng's injury. Let's just let this matter go."
The people in the courtyard knew that Yi Zhong Hai had been favoring the Jia family for many years. But in front of Director Wang, Yi Zhong Hai was saying that He Yu Cheng should not be held responsible? Does that mean that next time someone from the Jia family falls in the courtyard, the whole courtyard should be responsible? So, they started talking amongst themselves in hushed voices.
Director Wang was amused. Looking at Yi Zhong Hai, he said, "Come on, Yi Zhong Hai, tell me how Yu Cheng is responsible for this matter."
"Director Wang, I didn't say that Yu Cheng was wrong. It's just that Bang Geng is injured and has to go to the hospital, right? We all live in the same courtyard. We see each other every day. If things get too tense, it's not good."
