After dinner, the neighbors in the courtyard came to Zheng's house one after another, asking whether Zheng Zhendong was okay.
Zheng's mother first said that the child was fine, and then expressed her gratitude to the neighbors. After everyone sat for a while, they went into the bedroom to look at Zheng Zhendong, then said goodbye and left.
Early the next morning, Zheng Zhendong asked Xu Damao to take a day off and recuperated from his injuries at home.
Zheng Zhendong had been lying at home all day. At around 5 pm, on his way to the toilet to urinate urgently, he saw that his neighbors who were working at the steel rolling mill had all returned.
Even Jia Dongxu came back with him. Zheng Zhendong knew that the beating yesterday must be related to Jia Dongxu, otherwise why would he be back today.
On the way back after using the toilet, Zheng Zhendong became angrier as he thought about it, and vowed to teach him a lesson today, otherwise he would not be able to let go of the bad breath in his heart.
After entering the middle courtyard and arriving directly at the door of Jia's house, Zheng Zhendong shouted.
"Jia Dongxu, you bastard, get out of here right now. Well, stop being a coward. Damn you, you still find someone to beat me. Are you looking for death?"
After Zheng Zhendong finished shouting, Jia Dongxu walked out of the house and spoke.
"You little brat, didn't you get enough beatings yesterday? You want to get another one today?"
After saying that, he rushed over to Zheng Zhendong. Seeing him rushing over, Zheng Zhendong grabbed his arm and pushed forward, Jia Dongxu was thrown to the ground.
Then Zheng Zhendong kicked him twice. Seeing that he was about to get up, he sat on him, opened his hands to the left and right, and violently slapped Jia Dongxu in the face.
Before he was slapped a few times, there was a violent impact behind him. Zheng Zhendong looked behind him and saw that it was Jia Zhang who came to help her son because he saw that his son was suffering a loss.
At this time, the neighbors in the courtyard came out of their homes one after another. Seeing that the Zheng family and the Jia family were arguing again, they didn't know what to say.
However, they still pulled a few people away. Finally, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui discussed it together.
I am going to hold a whole-hospital meeting in the evening to talk about today's events, and I will ask everyone to go back and have dinner first, and then come to the meeting at 7 o'clock.
…
After everyone had finished eating, the neighbors in the courtyard came to the central courtyard in twos and threes. After a while, almost everyone came.
Seeing that people were almost here, Liu Hai talked nonsense first and then asked Yi Zhonghai to chair the meeting.
Yi Zhonghai first asked for two stools and placed them on both sides of the table, and then asked Zheng Zhendong and Jia Dongxu to sit on both sides.
Then he asked: "Which one of you should tell me first, why do you keep fighting?"
Jia Dongxu, who was sitting on the right, spoke first.
"Master, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, you all know me. I am an honest boy. The little bastards from the Zheng family bully others too much. Seeing that my family is easy to bully and looking for trouble, you have to make the decision for me!"
When the three people sitting above heard what Jia Dongxu said, they looked at each other and didn't want to speak.
He said in his heart who you are, Jia Dongxu, how can we know? If you are an honest person, there will be no dishonest person in the whole hospital. Finally, Yi Zhonghai said helplessly.
"Dongzi, tell me what's going on? We can't listen to Jia Dongxu's words."
Zheng Zhendong told everything that happened in the past few days.
Finally, he emphasized that he had just been beaten yesterday and Jia Dongxu was back today. If this matter had nothing to do with him, no dog would believe it.
Yi Zhonghai first asked Jia Dongxu if he had spoken ill of the Zheng family to Qin Huairu and why he had done so.
Jia Dongxu was a bachelor and recognized him directly. As for why he did this, he did it deliberately because the Zheng family was unhappy. He didn't dare to say that he had a crush on Qin Huairu for fear of being beaten again.
After listening to Jia Dongxu's words, Yi Zhonghai said that the beating you received was not unfair. No wonder you hid out a few days ago, and then asked again.
"Were you the one who found someone to beat you yesterday?"
Jia Dongxu hesitated for a long time, and then admitted it directly.
Seeing Jia Dongxu directly admitting it, Yi Zhonghai couldn't find a chance to play on the same field, so he could only criticize Jia Dongxu for a long time, and then said to Zheng Zhendong.
"Dongzi, since what happened has happened, I asked Dongxu to apologize to you and promise that it won't happen again. Even if this thing is over, what do you think?"
Zheng Zhendong sat on the stool, thought for a long time and then said.
"Master, I'm not refuting your face. Do you think Jia Dongxu seems to be sincerely repentant? I don't think this matter will end that easily!"
After hearing what Zheng Zhendong said, Yi Zhonghai was filled with anger. He was angry at Zheng Zhendong for not giving him face, and also angry at Jia Dongxu for not being able to hold him up. Finally, he sighed helplessly.
"In this case, what should you do about this matter? And Lao Liu, Lao Yan, don't just sit here and tell us how to deal with this matter!"
When Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui heard what Yi Zhonghai said, they first looked at each other, and then Liu Haizhong spoke first.
"Lao Yi, I think what happened today is all the Jia family's fault. We have to punish the Jia family, otherwise the courtyard will be in chaos!"
Yan Bugui on the other side also said in time.
"I think Lao Liu is right. We really need to punish the Jia family. Otherwise, if everyone follows suit, it will be difficult for us to manage them, right?"
Jia Zhang, who was sitting below, heard that their family was going to be punished, and immediately became unhappy and cursed.
"Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, you two bastards, what nonsense did you come up with? If I dare to punish my family, I will bump my head into your door and die!"
Hearing Jia Zhang's arrogant yelling, the two of them were so angry that they were trembling. Liu Haizhong pointed at Jia Zhang and shouted directly.
"Shrew, you're unreasonable, I'm too lazy to talk to you!"
Seeing that the three of them didn't mention the punishment of her family again, Jia Zhang sat back down proudly.
Yi Zhonghai looked at the proud Jia Zhang and felt a headache. He thought to himself that this was a piece of meat on a hob and it would be difficult to handle!
I also saw the neighbors in the courtyard talking a lot, and suddenly I felt that if this matter was not handled well, it would easily affect my prestige in the courtyard.
Finally, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui murmured a few words in a low voice, and then spoke loudly.
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me. In view of the fact that many things have happened in the past few days, all because of Jia Dongxu, I discussed it with the second uncle and the third uncle and made the following decision."
"Jia Dongxu, please sincerely apologize to Dongzi first and beg for forgiveness."
"The other thing is the sanitation in the courtyard. If you clean it for two months, this is also your punishment!"
After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Jia Dongxu stood up directly, bowed to Zheng Zhendong first, and then said sorry.
Finally, he told everyone that starting from tomorrow, he would take care of the hygiene in the hospital.
When everyone saw what Jia Dongxu said, they smiled with satisfaction.
Seeing that everyone was satisfied, Yi Zhonghai said a few more words, then announced the adjournment of the meeting, and everyone went home.
