Wang Jiefang, upon hearing the announcement from the elder, rushed to the courtyard after Liu Guangtian called out at the entrance and left.
His grandmother approached him and said, "Jiefang, you stay at home. Grandma will handle the meeting! That old man Yi Zhonghai is definitely calling this meeting because of the Jia family!"
"Grandma, it's fine. I want to go take a look," Wang Jiefang insisted, unwilling to just sit at home and wait.
Seeing her grandson's determination, Wang Jiefang's grandmother had no choice but to support him as they made their way to the courtyard. In her heart, she vowed that if Yi Zhonghai dared to bully her grandson, she would not let it go easily.
When Yi Zhonghai saw Wang Jiefang and his grandmother arrive, a smirk appeared on his lips.
Before long, people from various households gathered in the courtyard. Liu Haizhong stood up and clapped his hands for silence: "Everyone, please quiet down. Now, have all the families arrived? Good. Today, at the request of the Jia family, we three elders have convened this meeting to mediate the conflict between the Jia family and Wang Jiefang's family from the front courtyard! Now, I invite Elder Yi to preside over this mediation meeting!"
Elder Yi took a sip of water and cleared his throat: "Jia Zhangshi, please tell us what happened."
Jia Zhangshi stood up and began to cry: "Neighbors, look at my face! This was all caused by Wang Jiefang's grandmother! I merely saw Wang Jiefang wandering around our alley and worried he might not see well, so I advised him a few times. I don’t know which words I said wrong, but his grandmother came at me like a madwoman and hit me!"
"Everyone, please judge for yourselves! Even if Wang Jiefang's family is a revolutionary household, they shouldn't bully people like this!"
After Jia Zhangshi finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Wang Jiefang and his grandmother. Before they could respond, Yan Bugui slammed his hand on the table and said: "Wang family, as part of this courtyard community, it’s indeed inappropriate for you to beat up Aunt Jia like this. Moreover, I heard you did it in front of others from different courtyards? Isn’t that damaging our community's reputation? Do we still want to maintain our standing as an advanced collective?"
Goodness! Yan Bugui was also using collective interests to apply pressure now!
With Yan Bugui’s statement, murmurs began circulating among the crowd.
"The elder is right; no matter what, we can't fight outside and tarnish our courtyard's name!"
"Exactly! Isn’t that just bringing shame upon our quadrangle?"
"With that frail old woman—if she weren't a revolutionary household member, Jia Zhangshi wouldn't dare retaliate. Who knows who would have been beaten if things had gone differently!"
"Even if Wang Jiefang's family is a revolutionary household, they can't just hit people at will!"
"Right! Our courtyard has a deaf old lady who is also a protected household; she never goes around hitting people."
Someone in the crowd made this comment, causing those nearby to instinctively distance themselves from him; that deaf old lady was much more difficult to deal with than Wang Jiefang's grandmother!
"And do you believe everything Jia Zhangshi says? Who knows what she did to deserve being hit!" It seemed there were still some clear-headed individuals in the crowd.
Yan Bugui looked smugly at Wang Jiefang and his grandmother. "See? You two didn’t take me seriously as your elder? How does it feel now?"
Wang Jiefang's grandmother heard the murmurs and stood up directly.
As soon as the crowd noticed her standing up, they gradually fell silent; they wanted to see what Wang Jiefang's grandmother would do next!
