Yi Zhonghai went to the front to turn off the water valve. Not long after, the news of the flood in the middle courtyard spread throughout the courtyard.
After breakfast, the three old men of the Siheyuan gathered together to discuss the flood.
Third Master Yan Bugui spoke first,"This Qin Huairu, she's the only one who's diligent in washing every day. Although she had three children and a mother-in-law, she was quite pitiful. Alright, everyone understood, but you had better take good care of the water pipes. Look at how you ran the whole night. You'll have to get a lot more money when you split the utility bill at the end of the month.”
After all, when it came to matters involving his own interests, Third Master Yan Bugui's calculations were more shrewd than anyone else.
"Alright, alright, stop nagging. It's not like you're the only one holding it. If the water pipe is broken, everyone in the courtyard will have a share.”Second Uncle Liu Haizhong had been troubled recently, so he said unhappily.
After all, Liu Haizhong was more depressed than Yan Bugui. The window was smashed the night before yesterday, and the whole family was frozen for half the night. The youngest son said that he was weak all over yesterday morning and felt very hot when he touched his forehead. He could only ask for leave to see the doctor. In the afternoon, the glass was installed. In the blink of an eye, the water pipe broke again today, and water flowed all over the yard. This was another expense. Yan Bugui was still calculating the losses. How could he not be angry?
First Uncle Yi Zhonghai looked at Second Uncle Liu Haizhong and Third Uncle Yan Bugui for a while before hesitantly saying,"Second uncle, tell me the truth. Was it your family who broke the pickled vegetable jar under Lin Tianjiao's roof?”
Liu Haizhong pursed his lips when he heard this. He wanted to deny it, but he quickly realized the meaning behind Yi Zhonghai's words. He asked,"Grandpa Yi, you mean…all of this was done by Lin Tianjiao?”
Although First Uncle Yi Zhonghai did not answer the question directly, Second Uncle Liu Hai and Third Uncle Yan Bugui, who were beside him, understood when they saw First Uncle Yi Zhonghai's expression of deep agreement. Therefore, Third Uncle Yan Bugui said tentatively,
"First Grandpa, this…Lin Tianjiao is taking revenge!”
The second elder Liu Haizhong glared at the third elder Yan Bugui, but didn't say anything. After all, he had only found out the truth last night. That day, during the battle against Silly Pillar, Lin Tianjiao had rebuked the three elders of the Siheyuan. The first elder Yi Zhonghai was a nobody, and the Yan family was generally timid. They wanted to take revenge on the people that the two families couldn't do anything about.
However, the Liu Family wasn't like that. Liu Guangtian knew that he was definitely no match for Lin Tianjiao in a fight, so he decided to play dirty. When Liu Guangtian returned from his night shift the day before, he saw the glossy pickled vegetable jar under the eaves of Lin Tianjiao's house in the west wing, so he found a brick and threw it away.
Bang ~
The pickled vegetable jar broke.
At that time, it was dark and windy, and Liu Guangtian felt that he had done it without anyone noticing. No matter how much Lin Tianjiao stirred up trouble, he wouldn't be able to find the culprit. He could only continue to offend the people in the Council and incur their wrath.
However, Liu Guangtian's wish was beautiful. However, what happened in the middle of the night was truly heart-wrenching--
Seeing this, the Third Elder Yan Bugui said," It's fine if Lin Tianjiao smashed the windows of Old Liu's house, but last night, he broke the water pipe. This is too much. We can't let him continue to be so unscrupulous. I suggest that we hold a meeting tonight to get rid of this black sheep.”
Second Uncle's bangs widened as he said,""What can you do if he doesn't admit it?"
That's right, catching an adulterer in bed, catching a thief with dirt, holding a meeting without any evidence. The three elders instantly understood. Wasn't that giving Lin Tianjiao a reason to rebel for nothing?
