Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1108 Yi Zhonghai's Butt Leaning to One Side

Yi Zhonghai straightened his clothes, straightened his chest slightly, and showed a serious expression on his face. He slowly walked in front of Jia Zhang, with an unquestionable majesty in his eyes.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, please stop making trouble. In our courtyard, unity is the most important thing. How can you be disrespectful by making such a fuss?" Yi Zhonghai's voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the courtyard.

Jia Zhang sat on the ground, looking unconvinced. She was about to retort, but Yi Zhonghai raised his hand, signaling her not to speak.

“Think about it, neighbors see each other every day. If you quarrel over a small matter, how can you get along with each other in the future? We are all family, there is no problem that can't be solved properly?” There was a hint of blame and some persuasion in Yi Zhonghai's words.

He looked around at the residents who had gathered around the courtyard and continued, "As the manager of this courtyard, I have the responsibility to maintain the harmony and stability of the courtyard. Jia Zhang, you must stop being so unreasonable."

Yi Zhonghai's eyes were firm and his tone was serious, as if his words were an imperial decree. He exuded a majestic aura that made people dare not disobey. Although Jia Zhang was dissatisfied, she did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Yi Zhonghai's majesty.

Yi Zhonghai was secretly pleased when he saw that Jia Zhang had stopped talking. He knew that his words had worked. He nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's end this matter here. Let's all go and don't argue over such trivial matters anymore."

If it was someone else's flower, maybe they would be fooled by Yi Zhonghai. But Jia Zhang knew Yi Zhonghai's secrets.

She suddenly stood up from the ground, put her hands on her hips, her eyes wide open and her face full of anger.

"Yi Zhonghai, don't think I don't know what you are planning. Aren't you speaking for Yan Jiecheng just to win over the third uncle? You are nothing at all!" Jia Zhang's voice was sharp and piercing, full of anger and accusations.

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened instantly. He didn't expect Jia Zhang to be so bold as to accuse him in public. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he soon regained his composure.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, don't talk nonsense. As the former manager of the courtyard, I am only maintaining the harmony and stability of the courtyard. We don't have conclusive evidence whether Yan Jiecheng's meat was stolen. We cannot conclude that he is a thief based on your one-sided statement." Yi Zhonghai's voice was serious and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.

Although Jia Zhang was angry, she knew that she was no match for Yi Zhonghai. She stood in the middle of the yard, her eyes flashing with resentment. After a moment, she seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned to the residents around her, raised her voice and began to accuse Yi Zhonghai.

"Neighbors, please give us your opinions! Yi Zhonghai is not fair at all. He only favors Yan Jiecheng in order to win over the Third Uncle. How can a man like him be a manager? He is not worthy at all!" Jia Zhang's voice was sharp and excited, full of grievance and anger. Her face showed a look of grief and indignation, as if she had been treated extremely unfairly.

At this time, Liu Haizhong had long been dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai. When he saw Jia Zhang accusing Yi Zhonghai, he thought this was a good opportunity to strike Yi Zhonghai. So he stood on Jia Zhang's side without hesitation.

Liu Haizhong straightened his chest and put on an indignant look. "That's right, Jia Zhang is right. Yi Zhonghai is just unfair. He always takes advantage of his status as the former steward to do whatever he wants. We can't let him go on like this. We must fight for fairness and justice in Siheyuan!" Liu Haizhong's voice was loud and passionate, as if he was the embodiment of justice.

Liu Haizhong's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves. The residents were already suspicious, and when they heard Liu Haizhong's accusation, their dissatisfaction was ignited.

An old lady frowned and spoke first: "Yes, what Yi Zhonghai did was indeed not fair. How could he favor Yan Jiecheng? This would make everyone feel uncomfortable." There was a hint of complaint in her voice, as if Yi Zhonghai's behavior had caused her great injustice.

An old man nearby also echoed, "That's right, as the manager, Yi Zhonghai should be fair and just. But what he is doing now is obviously forming cliques. How can people in this courtyard live in harmony in the future?" A worried look appeared on the old man's face, and he shook his head, expressing his disappointment with Yi Zhonghai's behavior.

Another young resident also stood up and said: "Yi Zhonghai has disappointed us so much. Who will listen to him in the future if he does this? We can't let him do whatever he wants." His eyes were full of anger, as if Yi Zhonghai's behavior had violated his bottom line.

For a time, the residents accused Yi Zhonghai. Their voices rose and fell, filling the entire courtyard. Some people spoke in high-pitched voices, full of anger; some people spoke in low voices, with a bit of helplessness. But in any case, their words revealed their dissatisfaction and disappointment with Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai stood in the middle of the crowd, his face becoming very ugly. He did not expect his behavior to cause such a big reaction, and he did not expect that Liu Haizhong's words would be approved by the residents.

Yi Zhonghai's face was terribly gloomy. His eyes searched the crowd anxiously. When he saw Sha Zhu standing there, he felt like he had seen a life-saving straw.

"Shazhu!" Yi Zhonghai shouted loudly, with a hint of majesty and urgency in his voice. Shazhu was slightly startled when he heard Yi Zhonghai's shout, and then he understood what he meant.

Yi Zhonghai pointed at Jia Zhang, his eyes revealing anger and determination. "Drive Jia Zhang away! She is making trouble here and destroying the harmony of the courtyard." Yi Zhonghai's words were full of commanding tone, as if Sha Zhu must obey his arrangements unconditionally.

Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment, he looked at Jia Zhangshi, and then looked at Yi Zhonghai. He knew that Jia Zhangshi was a difficult person, but he did not dare to disobey Yi Zhonghai's order. In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to do as Yi Zhonghai asked.

Sha Zhu strode towards Jia Zhang, with a fierce look on his face. "Jia Zhang, stop making trouble here. Leave now, or don't blame me for being rude."

When Qin Huairu saw that Sha Zhu was about to chase Jia Zhang away, she became anxious and quickly stepped forward to stop Sha Zhu. There was a hint of panic and pleading in her eyes, and her watery eyes seemed to be able to captivate people.

Qin Huairu leaned slightly to the side and approached Shazhu, exuding a faint fragrance. She bit her lips lightly and said in a gentle and charming voice: "Shazhu, don't be like this. Just let Jia Zhang go." There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone, which made people feel soft in their hearts.

Sha Zhu was somewhat at a loss for words by Qin Huairu's sudden action. He looked at Qin Huairu's beautiful face and charming figure, and a strange feeling surged in his heart. He unconsciously let go of Jia Zhangshi, and his eyes became a little blurry.

Qin Huairu was secretly delighted to see Sha Zhu was relenting. She continued in a gentle voice, "Sha Zhu, you have always been a good person. Just help us and don't listen to Yi Zhonghai." Her eyes were full of expectation and temptation, as if she was expressing endless tenderness to Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu was moved by Qin Huairu's words and eyes, and his heart began to waver.

"Okay, Qin Huairu, I'll listen to you." Sha Zhu's voice was low and firm, and his eyes revealed a desire to protect. Qin Huairu smiled with satisfaction after hearing what Sha Zhu said.

Jia Zhang was overjoyed when she saw Sha Zhu let go of her and stood on their side. She quickly ran to Qin Huairu and looked at Yi Zhonghai with pride. "Humph, Yi Zhonghai, don't think you can cover the sky with one hand. We have Sha Zhu to help us, let's see what you can do to us." Jia Zhang's voice was full of provocation and pride, as if she had already won.

Yi Zhonghai's face was livid, and his eyes were burning with anger. He glared at Sha Zhu, his voice trembling slightly with anger: "Sha Zhu, why are you so disobedient? I've always been very kind to you, but you betrayed me at this time!" Yi Zhonghai's chest was heaving violently, and he pointed at Sha Zhu, as if he wanted to vent all his anger.

Sha Zhu met Yi Zhonghai's gaze without fear, with a firm look on his face. "Master, I am not disobedient, I am on the side of justice. Although Jia Zhang is sometimes unreasonable, you are indeed unfair in this matter." Sha Zhu's voice was loud and powerful, full of a sense of justice.

He straightened his chest and continued, "You can't favor Yan Jiecheng just because you want to win over the third uncle. Our Siheyuan should be a fair and just place. We can't let such unfair things happen." There was a firm light in Sha Zhu's eyes. He seemed like a messenger of justice, guarding the fairness of Siheyuan.

  Yi Zhonghai was so angry at Sha Zhu's words that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Sha Zhu but couldn't say a word. He didn't expect Sha Zhu to be so bold to resist him, and he didn't expect Sha Zhu to stand on the side of the Jia family. His heart was filled with anger and helplessness.

Jia Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and gave Qin Huairu a wink.

Qin Huairu's eyes flashed with determination. She looked at Sha Zhu and said anxiously, "Sha Zhu, quickly catch Yan Jiecheng and send him to the police station. He must have stolen the meat. We can't let him get away with it."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he showed hesitation on his face. He knew this was no small matter. Once Yan Jiecheng was sent to the police station, it would definitely cause a big disturbance and offend many residents.

He said with some embarrassment: "Qin Huairu, this is not easy to handle. If you make a mistake, it will be troublesome."

Seeing Sha Zhu hesitate, Qin Huairu got anxious and used seduction again. She approached Sha Zhu, gently pulled his arm, and said in a gentle and charming voice: "Sha Zhu, just listen to me. You are so brave, you can definitely get this done. As long as you help us, I will definitely repay you in the future." Her eyes were full of expectation and temptation, which made Sha Zhu's heart waver.

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's pretty face and charming figure, and felt dazed.

Seeing that Sha Zhu was still hesitating, Qin Huairu moved closer and said softly, "Sha Zhu, think about it, if Yan Jiecheng is really a thief, then we are ridding the courtyard of harm. If you don't help us, who knows how much trouble this courtyard will be in in the future." Her words echoed in Sha Zhu's ears like a spell.

Sha Zhu gritted his teeth, and the balance in his heart gradually leaned towards Qin Huairu. He decided to take a risk, catch Yan Jiecheng, and send him to the police station.

He took a deep breath, his eyes revealing a firm look: "Okay, Qin Huairu, I'll listen to you."

Sha Zhu walked up to Yan Jiecheng aggressively, with a look of determination in his eyes. He reached out to grab Yan Jiecheng and take him to the police station.

Yan Jiecheng was furious when he saw Sha Zhu's actions. His eyes were burning with anger, and he glared at Sha Zhu fiercely and cursed: "Sha Zhu, you are Qin Huairu's lackey! What right do you have to arrest me? I bought my meat myself, not stole it."

When Sha Zhu heard what Yan Jiecheng said, he was filled with anger. He felt that Yan Jiecheng had insulted his goddess, Qin Huairu. "You are talking nonsense! Qin Huairu is not that kind of person. You must have stolen the meat, and you still don't admit it." Sha Zhu's voice trembled with anger.

He clenched his fist tightly, wishing he could punch Yan Jiecheng in the face. But he held back, because he knew he couldn't act impulsively, or things would get worse.

Sha Zhu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He looked at Yan Jiecheng and said firmly, "Yan Jiecheng, you must go to the police station with me today. If you didn't steal the meat, I will clear your name. But if you did steal it, don't blame me for being rude."

Yan Jiecheng was not afraid at all. He stood up straight and confronted Sha Zhu. "I won't go! Don't try to wrongly accuse me. Sha Zhu, you are just a fool who has been bewitched by Qin Huairu." Yan Jiecheng's words were full of provocation and disdain.

"How dare you insult Qin Huairu!" Sha Zhu roared, and swung a punch fiercely, with a whistling sound, and went straight towards Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng was not to be outdone, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes, and he quickly dodged the attack. Yan Jiecheng was also filled with anger, he felt that Sha Zhu was unreasonable and had lost his mind because of Qin Huairu's bewitching.

"Shazhu, don't go too far!" Yan Jiecheng shouted angrily. He got ready to face Shazhu's next attack.

Sha Zhu missed his first blow and became even angrier. He swung his fists again, raining down on Yan Jiecheng. Yan Jiecheng dodged flexibly and fought back from time to time.

However, Sha Zhu was the martial god in the courtyard, and Yan Jiecheng was no match for him. He suffered a great loss after just a few moves.

Yan Jiecheng's eyes were red, his face full of anger and determination. He turned and rushed into the house, and soon came out with a shiny kitchen knife.

The kitchen knife flashed a dazzling cold light in the sun, which made people shudder. Yan Jiecheng held the kitchen knife tightly, his hands trembling slightly, and his eyes were full of madness and desperation.

"Shazhu, don't push me!" Yan Jiecheng roared, his voice trembling. He waved the kitchen knife, as if to protest to Shazhu, warning him not to come any closer.

When the residents of the courtyard saw Yan Jiecheng holding a kitchen knife, they immediately retreated in fear. Everyone's face showed a look of horror, and no one expected that things would develop to this extent.
