My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 159: General Meeting – The Conflict Between the Liu and Jia Families

Finally, Yi Zhonghai, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer and turned to Yan Fugui, saying, "Old Yan, we can't just watch them fight like this. Otherwise, things will definitely get out of hand."

Yan Fugui thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Old Yi, I know, but who dares to interfere now? You know what happened yesterday. Liu Haizhong won't stop until he vents his anger."

Looking at the chaotic scene at the Jia family's house, Yi Zhonghai was also very worried. He said, "That's enough. We have to teach them a lesson, otherwise if word gets out, our reputation will be ruined."

Listening to Yi Zhonghai's words, Yan Fugui thought to himself, "What good reputation does our institute have left? Yesterday's farce has already made us a laughing stock."

But he still added, "Alright then, let's call a few more people, pull them apart, and then hold a big meeting to mediate. After all, this is our own business, we can't let outsiders laugh at us."

Yi Zhonghai nodded in satisfaction after hearing Yan Fugui's words and said, "Alright then."

Soon, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fugui, along with several young men from the courtyard, rushed forward and forcibly separated the Jia and Liu families.

Meanwhile, Liu Guangtian was still on Jia Dongxu's bed, cursing and slapping Jia Dongxu across the face, enjoying the slapping immensely.

Taking advantage of the situation, Liu Guangfu rummaged through the house and somehow found a few coins that Jia Zhangshi had hidden away, which he then casually put into his pocket.

Seeing this farce, Yi Zhonghai shouted, "Stop it! Stop it right now!"

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's roar, everyone slowly stopped.

Second Aunt and Jia Zhangshi were also pulled apart by First Aunt and Third Aunt, who led a group of people. The two women had disheveled hair and bruises on their faces, and they were still cursing at each other.

Liu Guangtian was also stopped. Jia Dongxu lay on the bed, his face swollen and red from being beaten, with blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth. He could only groan and moan.

Liu Haizhong was held back by Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fugui. Yan Fugui advised, "Old Liu, you can't fight anymore, or something bad will happen."

Liu Haizhong glared at Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fugui, and said angrily, "Old Yi, Old Yan, don't stop me! I'm going to get my revenge today!"

Yi Zhonghai quickly stopped him, saying, "Old Liu, you're the second eldest uncle, you can't handle things like this! If you beat someone badly today, who in the courtyard will listen to us in the future? Wouldn't our titles as the three stewards become just for show?"

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong calmed down slightly and looked at Yi Zhonghai, asking, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice, "Hold a general meeting! At the meeting, we'll make the Jia family give you an explanation! Don't worry, this time it will be absolutely fair, and no one will dare to show favoritism!"

Liu Haizhong thought about it and felt that Yi Zhonghai made sense, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, then let the Jia family go for now!"

Soon, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fugui gathered everyone at the Intermediate People's Court to prepare for a general meeting.

Upon hearing that a company-wide meeting was to be held, Zhang Lei was incredibly excited and immediately tried to move forward.

Ye Shuqin grabbed him immediately and said, "Honey, take it easy, don't cause trouble again."

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble. I'll just take a look."

Ye Shuqin looked at him, rolled her eyes, as if to say: Do you think I can believe what you're saying?

She realized that she, as the head of the household, felt restless if she didn't join in the fun every day.

Soon, the meeting table for the general meeting was brought out.

Yi Zhonghai sat in the center, flanked by Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui. The three of them sat in front of everyone like a tribunal for a joint trial.

Jia Zhangshi stood together with Bang Geng and Qin Huairu, who had just returned after seizing the opportunity. Jia Dongxu, because both his legs were broken, had no one willing to help him, so he was still lying in bed at home.

Everyone watched all this in silence, waiting for Yi Zhonghai to speak.

Yi Zhonghai took a sip of water, cleared his throat, stood up and said, "I called everyone here at the last minute, so you all probably know what's going on. I'll keep it brief."

Yi Zhonghai continued, "Today we're here to resolve the conflict between Second Uncle's family and the Jia family."

After he finished speaking, he gave Liu Haizhong a wink.

Liu Haizhong immediately stood up and said indignantly, "Everyone should know what kind of trouble the Jia family caused at my son's wedding yesterday! It was disgusting, I can hardly continue. I won't describe what happened, everyone knows what happened. Everyone has witnessed how much effort I, Liu Haizhong, put into my son's wedding."

At this moment, Zhang Lei stepped forward and said loudly, "Yes, yes, yes! I know! Uncle Er put a lot of effort into buying groceries, and it cost quite a bit of money!"

Hearing Zhang Lei's support, Liu Haizhong felt even more confident and continued, "Zhang Lei is right! Everyone saw yesterday's dishes. I won't go into detail about the chicken, duck, fish, and meat; every dish had meat, and all the major dishes were there! But our wedding was completely ruined by the Jia family. Nobody got to eat well, and they even drove my son and daughter-in-law away! What did I, Liu Haizhong, do to deserve having the Jia family as neighbors?! Everyone, tell me, shouldn't I demand an explanation from the Jia family?"

Hearing Liu Haizhong's words, everyone nodded and whispered, "That's right, anyone would be disgusted to death if they were in this situation."

"Hey!" At this moment, Yi Zhonghai stood up, looked at Jia Zhangshi, and said, "Jia Zhangshi, what do you say?"

Jia Zhangshi, her neck stiff, looked at Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong and said, "What? What should I say? I'll say it again, Liu Haizhong's family's problems are not our fault! My son has diarrhea, and I now suspect... it's because there's something wrong with the food at Liu Haizhong's house that caused my son's diarrhea!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong angrily retorted, "Jia Zhangshi, you're talking nonsense! What's wrong with the food in my house?"

Meanwhile, the second aunt stood up and pointed at Jia Zhangshi's nose, saying, "Jia Zhangshi, you old hag, you're talking nonsense! If there's something wrong with my food, why are other people fine after eating it, but your Jia Dongxu is the only one who's affected?"

Madam Jia, however, twisted her head, looking completely unfazed, and said, "Who knows? Maybe the problematic parts of your food were all eaten by my son!"

Hearing this, Yan Fugui stepped forward, frowning, and said, "Jia Zhangshi, your claim doesn't hold water. So many people ate at the same table as Jia Dongxu, and everyone else is fine, but your family is the only one in trouble. Do you think anyone will believe that?"
