The conspiracy of the courtyard

Chapter 174 Conflict escalates

When Chen Ping and her family were getting food in the canteen, they heard Jia Dongxu shouting again that he wanted to hold a meeting of the entire school. People who had already got their food and were preparing to leave stopped again.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ping immediately asked everyone to go home and eat, so that they would not have to attend the whole-school meeting hungry.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Dongxu strode out of his house and came to Chen Ping. He said angrily:

"Manager Chen, I want to hold a meeting of the whole courtyard. My mother wants to remarry, and I don't agree. I want to ask the whole courtyard to vote and send her back to her hometown in the countryside."

Chen Ping nodded in agreement, but said that they had to wait until everyone had finished their meal before starting.

After everyone came to the middle courtyard with their stools and sat down, Chen Ping slowly walked to the middle and said loudly:

"The topic of today's meeting is to resolve the family conflict of the Jia family, but before resolving the problem, I have two requests."

First, for future school-wide meetings, we will try to announce them on the blackboard at least one day in advance, and clarify the theme and basic content of the meeting, so that everyone has time to think and judge, except in special circumstances.

Second, if courtyard residents apply to hold a courtyard-wide meeting due to family conflicts or neighborhood disputes, they must provide hard work fees.

The initiator needs to think carefully about whether his or her cause is worth spending money to ask everyone to waste time to seek justice. The standard of hard work fee is temporarily set at one yuan per time.

The money received is used to improve the food in the canteen. After the famine is over and the canteen is disbanded, the money will be used to help needy families or the expenses of whole hospital gatherings, or to purchase some technical books for learning and improving everyone's technical level. The accounts will be posted on the small blackboard.

After Chen Ping finished speaking, she saw that everyone was in high spirits and knew that her goal had been achieved. She continued:

“Today, taking advantage of the Jia family’s incident, I am proposing this rule for the first time to exempt the Jia family from paying their hard work fee.

We are not judges, so it is impossible for us to be absolutely fair, but we must also be responsible and try our best to be fair. Even if we cannot completely solve the problem, we must make reasonable suggestions so that the applicant can feel the care and support of all the residents of our courtyard.

Jia Dongxu, it was you who proposed to hold a meeting of the entire institute today, please come out and explain the situation. "

Jia Dongxu walked to the middle with his neck erect, and said with tears in his eyes:

"Everyone knows the situation of our family. My mother does not have a city hukou, and does not have a food ration. Since the land in our hometown was confiscated two years ago, she has been eating the rations given to us young people.

Especially recently, Banggeng has been skipping school every day so that she can have enough to eat. He has been running around with a bunch of hooligans from the alleys just to have a full meal in the small canteen. I feel bad watching this.

Fortunately, Huairu did not listen to her and transferred his household registration back to the countryside, otherwise our family would have starved to death.

We didn't blame her, not because we were magnanimous, but because we couldn't blame her out of filial piety. I endured all of this.

But my mother is not ashamed and is looking for a matchmaker to remarry. I cannot tolerate this. I want everyone to vote to send her to her hometown in the countryside and bring her back after the famine is over.

On the one hand, it allows her to support herself, and on the other hand, it prevents her from slandering her neighbors without restraint.

Furthermore, if she insists on remarrying, I will announce to everyone in advance that I will no longer provide her with pension money..."

By this point, the sobbing had become louder than the speaking voice.

After hearing Jia Dongxu's clear and heartfelt words, Chen Ping couldn't help but feel a little skeptical. He definitely didn't have the ability to organize language, let alone the ability to be so sentimental.

Chen Ping looked around, and when he saw Qin Huairu lowering her head and wiping her tears, he understood what was happening. He curled his lips and sneered. When he was about to speak, Jia Zhang stood up.

Somewhat disappointed, he looked at Jia Dongxu and said calmly:

"Dongxu, if there is anything, let's go home and discuss it. Do we have to air our family's dirty laundry in public?"

Jia Dongxu frowned and glanced at Qin Huairu, then watched Jia Zhang make up her mind, and said expressionlessly:

"No, just say it here. Our family's scandal has long been known to everyone, and I want everyone to judge for themselves."

Jia Zhang hesitated for a while and then nodded in agreement.

"I can go back to my hometown, but there is one condition: you have to give me 10 yuan per month for my retirement.

Don't be impatient, let me tell you the reason. I have been in the city for so many years that I can no longer do farm work, and the big pot meals in the countryside are not enough to fill you up..."

The mother and son talked back and forth about how life had been difficult over the years. After arguing until they were red in the face, they failed to reach a consensus and looked at Chen Ping at the same time, asking her to judge.

Chen Ping saw that Jia Zhang had already agreed, and the 8 yuan monthly pension proposed by Jia Dongxu just needed a stepping stone, so she explained her opinion.

"It is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs. There is no right or wrong in family conflicts. It is just a constant accommodation and compromise between each other. There is no need to say more about the past. No one can figure it out.

I offer a direction for resolving conflicts. You can recall the main causes of family discord in the last three to five times, and then…”

Chen Ping was halfway through her words when Jia Zhang quickly turned around and walked towards Qin Huairu. She slapped Qin Huairu in the face and cursed loudly:

"You troublemaker, I was so blind to let a fake like you bring trouble to my family. And it was you who instigated Dongxu to send me back to my hometown, right?

Ever since you, a vixen, came into our home, there has been no peace in our family. Old Li's family and Zhao Saner's family deliberately played a double act in front of me, saying that the matchmaker knows a lot of capable people. Did you teach her that?

What a good plot, what a good method, she told me every day that Old Yi's family had found a good family, and coaxed me into saying bad things about her everywhere under the guise of speaking up for Old Yi.

Just to make everyone in the hospital hate me and drive me back to the countryside, you are really fucking vicious."

Then he pointed at Qin Huairu and turned to Jia Dongxu and said angrily:

"Dongxu, this is the person you like, this is the woman you disobeyed my wishes and insisted on marrying into the family, you are full of bad intentions.

Why doesn't your son eat at home? Because she told Banggeng that if he follows Chen Ping, her son will be able to eat well.

Do you think the meal ticket she gave me was saved by Bang Geng? Bullshit, she bought it with the money she borrowed from Lao Guo privately before. "

Then he turned to look at Qin Huairu and sneered:

"Do you think I don't know about your affairs? You're either fighting with this one or flirting with that one. I was afraid that my son would feel bad, and you didn't go too far, so I didn't have the heart to tell Dongxu.

I didn't expect that you, a stinking son of a bitch, would want to drive me away like this. I just want to find a reliable man, what's wrong with that?

I expect a vicious woman like you to take care of me in my old age? Do I think my life is too long? I am not from the old Yi family, I am thin-skinned, afraid of this and that, face is shit, the most important thing for me is to have enough food and clothes…"

Jia Zhang was like a madman, listing Qin Huairu's viciousness, complaining about Jia Dongxu's stupidity, and telling about her own sorrow.

Qin Huairu could only shed tears and kept shaking her head and said:

"No, I didn't, it's not like that..."

Jia Dongxu did not step forward to stop her. Jia Zhang slapped Qin Huairu again and again, perhaps because she was timid, or perhaps because she was unwilling...
