"Ah, yes, yes, yes! You, the esteemed elder, are so selfless and only think of the courtyard. In your eyes, the courtyard consists only of your family, the Shazhu family, and the Qin Huairu family. Oh, and let's not forget the deaf old lady in the back yard! To you, everyone else is not part of the courtyard."
"You! You're simply talking nonsense!"
Yi Zhonghai was so infuriated by Wang Jiefang's sarcastic tone that he nearly spat blood. How had he not noticed that this Wang kid was so sharp-tongued? Was it perhaps because he was blind?
"Wang kid, I didn't realize you had such a quick wit! Old lady, I advise you to tone down your hostility. Life inevitably has its ups and downs; moreover, as someone who can't see, if you offend everyone, you'll find yourself with nowhere to go."
Seeing Yi Zhonghai struggling to respond, the deaf old lady had no choice but to step in.
As soon as she appeared, Wang Jiefang fell silent. However, his grandmother spoke up: "I don't agree with what you said, deaf sister. When faced with those who harbor ill intentions, we must be a bit hostile; otherwise, won't we end up with nothing left to chew on?"
"For those friends who mean well, we should treat them even better! I believe that with these friends by our side, we can overcome any obstacles in our path!"
As for those who plot against us, how many friends does the old lady think she will have to help her over those bumps?
Wang Jiefang's grandmother's final words were understood by both the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai. Indeed, they were all calculating their own retirements!
However, they couldn't refute Wang Jiefang's grandmother's words! That was what frustrated them the most!
Yi Zhonghai could only forcibly change the subject again: "Wang Jiefang, why don’t you explain why you sent Shazhu to the hospital today?"
Wang Jiefang paid no mind to Yi Zhonghai's intentional change of topic: "Let me tell you something, elder. If you can be an elder, then great; if not, just roll out early. What’s this? Shazhu has beaten so many people without consequence, but now that he’s been beaten himself, you want to hold a meeting to defend him?"
"We all know Shazhu is your adopted elder; however, you can't use the authority given to you by everyone to show favoritism!"
"Stop twisting my words! No matter what happens, hitting someone is wrong. You must give an explanation today!" Yi Zhonghai began to lose his composure.
Those who heard Wang Jiefang felt he made a valid point. They looked at Yi Zhonghai with less respect than before and more curiosity and resentment!
"What explanation do you want? Are you implying that Shazhu came to hit me for no reason early in the morning and I shouldn’t fight back? You're just an elder of the courtyard; isn’t that a bit too domineering?"
"Everyone in the neighborhood has noticed: if Shazhu hits us again in the future, we must not retaliate; otherwise our esteemed elder will be unhappy. If he gets upset, he'll hold a big meeting to criticize us!"
"From now on, we’ll just have to endure it. After all, Shazhu is being treated as an adopted elder by him!"
Wang Jiefang kept bringing up his status as an elder in his arguments. He could see that in just this short time, the prestige he had painstakingly built up as an elder in the courtyard was nearly destroyed! Furious, he felt like slapping Wang Jiefang dead!
