"Baoguo, calm down and listen to me first. Since the Jia Zhang family has already moved in, the neighbors should help. You can't just watch Widow Qin's family squeeze into such a small house, right?”
"First Master, please wait a moment. If you want to put it this way, I have a different opinion. This house is to protect the country.
Without Baoguo's consent, no one can take it for themselves. Moreover, Baoguo's parents have just passed away, so it's a little unethical for me to do this.”
As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Yan Bugui immediately retorted.
He seemed to be fighting for Xiao Baoguo, but in fact, he was just thinking about taking advantage of him.
If Xiao Baoguo didn't have the pension and no wine and meat at home, Yan Bugui would definitely not have spoken.
Xiao Baoguo knew what the other party was up to, but he didn't care.
Regardless of whether the other party's intentions were good or bad, at least the two of them were on the same side now.
When Yi Zhonghai heard the Third Master's words, he immediately frowned and turned to look at Yan Bugui behind him.""Third Uncle, you agreed yesterday. I think there's no need to discuss this anymore.”
"The entire academy had already voted on it at the meeting yesterday. Of course, if Xiao Baoguo has any objections,
We can discuss it next time. Now that Jia Zhangshi has moved in, I think we should leave it at that.”
Seeing that Yi Zhonghai wanted to settle the matter so muddle-headedly, Xiao Baoguo naturally did not agree, so he said,""Sir, I didn't know that you already have so much power now. What can you decide with just a word?”
"If I remember correctly, the street office chose the three elders to mediate the conflicts between the neighbors, right?
Since when did you become the master of this courtyard? No, I have to go to the street office and ask,
As for the old woman, he would leave it to the security department or the police.”
Yi Zhonghai's expression changed when he heard his words. He looked angry, feeling that his authority had been challenged.
However, after pretending to be a good guy for so many years, Yi Zhonghai was quite good at controlling his emotions.
The other party was silent for two seconds before saying,"Baoguo, don't mess around. If this matter gets out, it will be detrimental to our quad's reputation. Moreover, the higher-ups have just issued an order to learn from Comrade Lei's spirit of unity and fraternity. Isn't it right for neighbors to help each other? I think this matter is settled. Everyone should disperse.”
With that said, Yi Zhonghai walked out and dispersed the crowd at the door.
Seeing this, the second uncle gave Xiao Baoguo a helpless look. After all, in terms of prestige and status in this courtyard, no one could compare to Yi Zhonghai except for the Deaf Old Lady.
Seeing this, Xiao Baoguo didn't mind. He turned to look at Jia Zhangshi, only to see her looking at him smugly.
He raised his head high like a rooster that had won a battle.
Seeing this, Xiao Baoguo said to her,""Old hag, just stay here as long as you can.”
With that, she turned around and walked out of the door.
"Little brat, you have no manners at all. Serves your dead parents right!”
Hearing Jia Zhangshi's curses, Xiao Baoguo didn't care. He locked his door and walked out of the courtyard.
Xiao Baoguo walked out of the courtyard and went to the courtyard next door. He happened to see an old man tending to the courtyard.
"Grandpa Tian, are you busy?"
"Isn't this protecting the country? Have you settled everything at home?”
"It's settled. Don't worry. I came here this time to borrow your family's handcart. I'll take some things and return it to you tomorrow morning.”
"Alright, go get it yourself."
The one talking to Xiao Baoguo was Uncle Tian from the neighboring courtyard, who was also a good friend of Xiao Baoguo's parents for many years.
Xiao Baoguo usually called him Grandpa Tian. He had a flatbed at home, and he was here to borrow it.
As for why he borrowed it, Xiao Baoguo naturally planned to get some firewood.
It was almost winter, and there was wasteland everywhere around Beiping City. Firewood was easy to get.
As for what he wanted to do with it, of course, it was to deal with that old hag Jia Zhangshi.
Coincidentally, there was a piece of wasteland near the Red Star Primary School. Xiao Baoguo pushed his flatbed cart and staggered to the place.
Seeing that it was still early, Xiao Baoguo was not in a hurry. He slowly put some dried branches and hay into the cart.
When the flatbed was full, Xiao Baoguo saw that the sky had begun to darken, so he returned to the courtyard house.
By the time he returned, the sky was already dark. Xiao Baoguo didn't hide himself.
He even deliberately made a noise. When he pushed the flatbed cart to the backyard, he saw that the few families had already turned off the lights and went to sleep, so he began to move.
In this era, people didn't have much entertainment at night, and they often didn't have enough to eat, so they usually went to bed early.
Of course, there were also some who didn't sleep. Xiao Baoguo heard strange noises coming from several houses as he walked from the front yard.
Xiao Baoguo took down all the dried branches and grass from the cart and covered the surroundings of his two houses.
During the process, he deliberately made a lot of noise in order to attract the people in the courtyard.
That's right, he wanted to set the house on fire.
He had never been afraid of anyone in this courtyard. As for the possibility of entering the high wall courtyard in the future, Xiao Baoguo had already considered it.
First of all, he didn't really want to ask for it. More importantly, he wanted to scare the people in the courtyard.
Moreover, this matter itself was reasonable. As long as the fire did not burn, he was not afraid even if it blew up.
His parents had just passed away, and the people in the courtyard were already treating him like this. Xiao Baoguo was not afraid no matter where he went.
Also, he was only 18 years old now, and his parents had passed away one after another. Ordinary people would definitely think that this matter was a huge blow to him, and it was reasonable for him to do some extreme actions.
In the end, he had no job, his house was occupied, and he was forced to donate money. As long as he controlled the timing of the ignition, it was not a big deal.
As for the issue of reputation, Xiao Baoguo had already thought about it long ago. Although reputation was very important in this era, he had already been bullied to this extent. Why would he care about reputation?
Moreover, this would also allow the people in the courtyard house to rest for a few years. After all, as the old saying went, those who were arrogant were afraid of being stunned, and those who were stunned were afraid of being reckless.
He, Xiao Baoguo, didn't want to live anymore. He didn't believe that these people would still dare to come forward and die.
It wasn't that he didn't want to use his intelligence to incite the people in the courtyard to denounce the Jia family.
However, in this era, it was already good enough for every household to manage their own affairs. How could they have the leisure to stand up for others?
Moreover, Xiao Baoguo didn't have any concrete evidence. He couldn't bring down the three stewards, especially the First Steward, just by talking.
It would have been better if there was evidence of the other party's moral corruption. Unfortunately, Xiao Baoguo had transmigrated for more than a year and had not seen the other party do anything out of line.
Xiao Baoguo's commotion finally alerted the people in the courtyard. First of all, it was the second uncle who also lived in the backyard. When he saw the piles of dry wood, he immediately shouted.
After all, it wasn't too late and many people were still awake. When they heard the sound, they quickly turned on the lights in their homes.
Seeing this, Xiao Baoguo quickly lit a torch and stood in front of his house, waiting for everyone to arrive.
