After venting his frustrations, Yi Zhonghai instructed a middle-aged woman, "I understand. I happen to have some cured meat at home; I'll stir-fry it for the old lady!"
Liu Haizhong returned home and immediately kicked over a chair. He pulled out his belt, ready to beat Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, but he searched the house and couldn't find the two brothers anywhere.
"Where are those little brats?" Liu Haizhong glared at the second aunt, his eyes bloodshot with anger. He was furious after being scolded by Director Wang that day, feeling completely wronged. The meeting had been cleared by Yi Zhonghai, and the Jia family was also protected by him—what did that have to do with Liu Haizhong?
The second aunt shrank back slightly and said cautiously, "Guangtian and Guangfu haven't come back since the meeting ended."
"Well, these two little rascals think they've grown wings and can run away! When they come back, they'll see! Since you, as their mother, couldn't keep an eye on them, you'll have to bear the consequences!" He ordered her to close the door.
Faced with Liu Haizhong's menacing glare, the second aunt trembled as she shut the door. Just as she closed it, she felt a sharp sting across her back from the belt!
"Ah!" The second aunt instinctively covered her mouth with her hand. Her experience told her that if she dared to scream and attract the neighbors' attention, Liu Haizhong would only beat her worse afterward.
She silently endured the lashings from Liu Haizhong, biting her lips until they bled. At that moment, she felt a twinge of resentment towards Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu; if they hadn't run away, she wouldn't be suffering this beating!
The second aunt never considered how painful it must be for the two brothers when they were beaten. No wonder they didn't feel much affection for their mother!
While Liu Haizhong was at home beating his wife, Yan Bugui returned home sighing heavily.
"As the third master of the courtyard, I can't control anything here. Being scolded by Director Wang was truly an undeserved disaster!"
However, he dared not confront Director Wang to seek justice. After all, he was the director; their positions depended on him. All he could do was endure the scolding!
Yi Zhonghai brought food to the deaf old lady's house.
"Oh? Are we having stir-fried cured meat today? Little Yi, did you come here looking for me?"
Although the old lady was elderly, her sense of smell was still sharp. As soon as Yi Zhonghai entered the room, she recognized what dish it was!
"Old lady, to be honest with you, I do have something to discuss!"
The old lady took a bite of meat and said, "Is it about today's meeting? Go ahead; what do you want?"
"Well, old lady, you have some influence with Director Wang. Can you see if you can help us keep our courtyard's advanced status? Also, it seems like Wang Jiefang's family is becoming unruly; what should I do?"
The old lady looked directly at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Listen here, Little Yi. Are you sure you want me to use my connections for this? What’s so special about this rundown courtyard’s advanced status? You don’t need that little reward!"
"As for that Wang family duo, why do you care about them? That old lady is in worse shape than I am; how many more years can she live? Once she's gone, there will just be a blind man left—don't tell me you can't handle one blind man?"
You are right, my dear. I no longer worry about the Wang family. The progress of the courtyard is directly related to my control over it and my retirement plans. I believe I should make an effort! Since you insist, I will find some time to have a chat with Director Wang.
