"No, uncle."
Jia Dongxu shook his head, having already prepared himself mentally.
"That's fine. As human beings, we must admit our mistakes and stand at attention when we're beaten. Youfu, Jia Dongxu also knows he was wrong. See if your family has any demands. As long as they're reasonable, it's fine."
Yi Zhonghai looked at Chen Youfu and said.
"Uncle, our family doesn't have any requests. There's just one thing: on the day our eldest son gets married, we won't invite anyone from the Jia family, and we hope they won't show up."
Chen Youfu stated his request.
"Well, this request is not excessive. Dongxu, can you agree?"
"I agree, uncle."
"Alright then, I'll punish Jia Zhang by making her clean the yard for a week. Jia Dongxu, you need to apologize to the Chen family and promise to keep the family in check when Dagang gets married."
Yi Zhonghai nodded and made a judgment on the matter.
After hearing this, Jia Dongxu also walked up to Chen Youfu and bowed to apologize, "Uncle Youfu, it was my mother who made a mistake today. I apologize to you."
Next came Old Man Chen and Zhao Hongmei. Jia Dongxu then bowed to the people in the yard again and said, "Dear neighbors, we are sorry for wasting your time today. I hope you can forgive us."
When everyone saw Jia Dongxu's expression, they all spoke up to say that it was nothing.
Even Jiang Fan couldn't help but sigh that Jia Dongxu, who only existed in black and white photos and memories, was a good person. Among his peers in Siheyuan, he was indeed the best.
But think about it, if Jia Dongxu was not a good person, Yi Zhonghai would not let him be a senior citizen, and Qin Huairu would not be obsessed with Jia Dongxu.
It's a pity that he has a mother like Jia Zhang.
"Okay, the matter between the Jia and Chen families is over. Youfu, I have one more question for you."
Yi Zhonghai glanced at Jiang Fan in the crowd, and then said to Chen Youfu.
"I think the uncle wants to ask about the bicycle my family bought."
Old Man Chen stopped his son and took the initiative to speak. Seeing this, Chen Youfu also returned to the crowd and sat next to Jiang Fan.
"Yes, Uncle Chen. It's mainly because I heard that the car you bought was a used one. As you know, it's forbidden to buy or sell things by individuals these days. It's a crime of speculation, let alone something as large as a bicycle. I'm doing this for the sake of our courtyard's reputation."
Yi Zhonghai spoke earnestly and brought up the matter of Siheyuan's reputation.
There were some whispers in the crowd.
"Yeah, I said at noon that the car the Chen family bought was a used car, so don't tell them they really bought it from someone else."
"Not necessarily. Maybe it's refurbished. Didn't Jiang Fan refurbish one?"
"Do you think everyone is Jiang Fan? He is at least a technical secondary school student."
Listening to everyone's words, Old Man Chen had no expression on his face, just looking at Yi Zhonghai calmly. Chen Youfu wanted to stand up and slap the bill certificate on Yi Zhonghai's face, but was stopped by Jiang Fan.
"Uncle Chen, you still need to give an explanation for this matter. How did you get that car? Did someone refurbish it and sell it to you?"
Yi Zhonghai's words immediately shifted the focus to the refurbished vehicles.
Jiang Fan smiled faintly and said, "So you're waiting for me here."
Before Old Man Chen could explain, Li Yun from the backyard jumped out again.
"Did Jiang Fan refurbish it for you? You're so bold! This is speculation! Uncle, go to the police station and arrest them!"
Li Yun raised his head and said with a proud look on his face.
Everyone looked at her, and also at the Cai family members in the backyard. Cai Dazhuang and Cai Kun sat there with their heads lowered.
"Jiang Fan, come out and tell me if this has anything to do with you."
Yi Zhonghai was very happy. He didn't expect that instead of Jia Zhang's knife, Li Yun would appear on the field. God is really helping me!
"What does this have to do with Jiang Fan..."
Old man Chen was about to explain when he was interrupted by Jiang Fan.
"Yes, so what? No, so what? Uncle, and Aunt Li, do you have any evidence that Uncle Chen and I are involved in profiteering?"
Jiang Fan stood up and walked to the middle. Today he wanted to slap Yi Zhonghai in the face.
"What evidence do you need? The bicycle is the evidence! Who else in our yard would refurbish a bicycle besides you? It must be you two profiteering!"
Li Yun kept talking and concluded that it was Jiang Fan who refurbished the bicycles for the Chen family.
"Jiang Fan, what else do you have to say? Look at what you did. You're still a student with a bright future ahead of you. How could you do such a thing?"
Yi Zhonghai was heartbroken and looked as if he felt sorry for Jiang Fan.
"What? You're convicting me of this just because of a shabby old bicycle? I'm afraid that's a bit inappropriate."
"How is it inappropriate? You're committing a crime!"
Yi Zhonghai pointed at Jiang Fan and said.
"Oh? Then according to what the uncle said, do you want to go to the police station and ask the police to arrest me?"
Chapter 20: Removal of Yi Zhonghai
"Oh! That's not necessary. Reporting it to the police will only affect our hospital's reputation, and it won't be good for you either. After all, I watched you grow up, so I still have to give you a chance.
How about this, I'll make the decision, and you can pay for every household in our compound to get a bicycle, which will make life more convenient for everyone. That way, no one will report you. What do you think of this, Jiang Fan?
Yi Zhonghai seemed to be asking, but his tone was actually firm, as if the matter had already been decided.
"How is it? Not so good! Yi Zhonghai, you old bastard, did I give you any face? Who do you think you are? You still think you are in charge? Who can you be the boss of?
I, Jiang Fan, have nothing to do with you, Yi Zhonghai. What right do you have to be my boss? And you! Li Yun, right? You're also a disrespectful jerk!
"It's none of your business if Uncle Chen buys a bicycle, and you're the one getting involved. Why don't you take a piss and look at your own black face! You can't even see your face when the lights are off at night, with your big yellow teeth showing. Who are you trying to disgust?"
Jiang Fan sneered and started to criticize immediately!
"Jiang Fan! You're defying discipline! This is outrageous! If you still don't know your mistake, I'll have no choice but to report you to the police!"
Yi Zhonghai slammed the table heavily and threatened.
At the same time, Li Yun also rushed over and wanted to attack Jiang Fan.
"Report! If you don't report, you are my grandson!"
Jiang Fan used the power of his palm to give Li Yun, who was rushing towards him, a slap that was so strong that it swelled up for half a month!
With a "pop", Li Yun was knocked away!
"How dare you hit someone! Our courtyard has no place for you! On behalf of the courtyard, I will kick you out!"
"Yi Zhonghai, stop talking nonsense! Our house is privately owned, and the name on the property deed is Jiang! Not to mention you, even if the director of the steel mill comes, you can't kick my son out!"
Jiang Daniu walked out and went straight to the table where Yi Zhonghai and the other two were sitting, while Jiang Ping'an blocked the Cai family father and son in the backyard.
Seeing this, Yan Bugui immediately retreated into the crowd, with Liu Haizhong following closely behind him.
Everyone present could see that today was about Yi Zhonghai and the Jiang family.
"Jiang Daniu, we're talking about your son's speculation and profiteering. Our compound has no room for a criminal!"
"Where's the evidence?"
"Chen's bicycle!"
"What evidence do you have to prove that the Chen family's bicycle was sold by my son?"
"What evidence do you need? Uncle Chen went to one of these houses at noon and bought a bicycle that afternoon. Isn't that enough?"
"That's not enough. Who can prove that Uncle Chen came to my house to buy a car? Even if Uncle Chen did buy it, what? Is my son the only one who committed the crime of speculation?
Are you going to arrest Uncle Chen as well? Otherwise, how can you demonstrate your fairness, Yi Zhonghai?"
"you!"
Yi Zhonghai's face was flushed, his forehead was covered in sweat, and white smoke was coming out of his body.
"Xiao Yi, are you sure that I bought this car from Jiang Fan?"
"Uncle Chen, I'm not trying to hold you responsible, but it's obvious. You went to the Jiang family and then bought a bicycle. It's hard not to be suspicious."
"So you just suspected Jiang Fan and me and convicted us of profiteering?"
"Uncle Chen, that's not what I meant."
Yi Zhonghai hurriedly explained that he had to be respectful to Old Man Chen because he had always been cultivating the idea of respecting the elderly and loving the young.
"Stop, Yi Zhonghai, you're a completely incompetent uncle. You're convicting people without any evidence at all.
Dear neighbors, I really didn't expect that buying a car for my family would cause so many problems.
I did go to Jiang Fan this afternoon and wanted to buy a car from him."
As soon as Old Man Chen finished speaking, a smile appeared on Yi Zhonghai's face, as if he had eaten a smoothie in the hottest days of summer, feeling very comfortable.
"However, Jiang Fan sternly rejected me and gave me a good lecture. To be honest, I'm ashamed to say that in my sixty-plus years of life, I still don't see things as clearly as Jiang Fan does.
I originally thought that buying a car was hopeless, and Dagang's marriage might also fall through. But there is always a way out."
Yi Zhonghai's expression became less pleasant.
"Jiang Fan told me that there are several trust stores in the city that specialize in buying second-hand items. They sell items that other people have bought, without any receipts.
I went to check it out and found out that the car was bought from the Trust Store. "Youfu, bring me the receipt and certificate."
"Dad, here it is."
Chen Youfu took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to his father.
"Well, go back and get the things out."
After explaining everything to Chen Youfu, Old Man Chen slammed the receipt and certificate on the table and said, "Yi Zhonghai, open your dog eyes and see clearly! What is this?"
Yi Zhonghai took the receipt with trembling hands and checked it one by one. The more he looked, the uglier his face became.
The sound of everyone's discussion could also be heard from the crowd.
"How can it be true?"
"Nonsense, how could it not be true? Didn't you see Yi Zhonghai's face change?"
"Does this trust store sell anything besides bicycles?"
"How about we go and have a look tomorrow?"
Old man Chen watched Yi Zhonghai looking at the receipt over and over again.
"Well? Are you still going to say this receipt is fake?"
"The receipt is real."
Yi Zhonghai said this with his last bit of strength.
"Dear neighbors, if Yi Zhonghai can falsely accuse me and the Jiang family today, he can do so tomorrow. I propose that Yi Zhonghai be removed from his position as steward."
"Uncle Chen is right! I, Jiang Daniu, refuse to accept Yi Zhonghai being the manager."
Jiang Daniu took it and took the receipt back from Yi Zhonghai.
"Second uncle, third uncle, what do you say?"
"Old Yi, you see, this is what the people want after all, isn't it?"
When Liu Haizhong heard that Yi Zhonghai's uncle was going to be removed, he became a little excited.
"I understand. I'm not capable enough, so I voluntarily resign from my position as a master."
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he returned to the house with the help of Auntie and Jia Dongxu.
Afterwards, Liu Haizhong stammered a few nice words. The third uncle gave his summary and the meeting ended.
Old man Chen also gave the things he bought today to Jiang Fan, and Jiang Fan did not refuse.
Back home, Jiang Fan thought more and more that something was wrong. Yi Zhonghai's performance seemed a bit disappointing. Why didn't he seem as impressive as he was portrayed in the TV series and novels?
"What are you thinking about? So absorbed?"
Jiang Daniu patted Jiang Fan and interrupted him.
"Nothing, I just think Yi Zhonghai is pretty stupid. He dares to put a accusation on me without knowing anything about me."
