Chapter 764: Chapter 765: 60s Siheyuan 13_1

Zhang Yu really couldn’t help wanting to curse, she had seen shamelessness and bias before.

But she had never expected someone to be so brazenly partial in front of so many people.

"Ten yuan is not enough, it should be fifty." Lady Jia Zhang was in pain, "It’s all because of this damned girl..."

The onlookers today were utterly astonished, "How can they make the young girl compensate."

"It was clearly Lady Jia Zhang who was over the top."

Everyone saw it clearly, it was all Lady Jia Zhang’s fault, yet Yi Zhonghai still insisted on being partial.

Director Wang could no longer suppress her anger, she now thought the steward they had chosen for the Hongxing Courtyard House must have been selected in a moment of brainlessness.

"Yi Zhonghai, this is how your steward handles things?" Director Wang pushed through the crowd.

"Really impressive, completely disregarding the facts," Director Wang said coldly as she looked towards Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai and the other two stewards were stunned; they hadn’t expected to have the neighborhood director summoned.

The way Yi Zhonghai had handled the situation just now; even they couldn’t claim it was fair.

Zhang Yu, seeing Director Wang, wasn’t too surprised. Although it was after work hours, the director lived nearby, and surely someone had notified her.

Zhang Yu greeted her first, then said helplessly, "Director Wang, there really was no other way."

"I need to go to work, my younger sister needs to go to school. We’re just kids, and the Uncle Steward, fully aware that the house is ours, did not object when Lady Jia Zhang tried to take our house."

"When the courtyard gate shuts, who knows what could happen, I really am..."

Zhang Yu tried hard to think of something unhappy, allowing her tears to fall.

Zhang Li had long been unable to control herself, and seeing her sister crying, her tears immediately began to flow copiously.

Zhang Hao and his wife had good relationships with others. Seeing the two girls crying, they all criticized Yi Zhonghai and the others for excessive behavior.

Yi Zhonghai, seeing the Zhang Sisters burst into tears, felt the situation was not looking good. If this wasn’t handled well, it wasn’t just the position of the steward at stake, but his reputation at the factory would be tarnished, as well.

"Director Wang," Yi Zhonghai spoke up.

"Director Wang, I was originally thinking of simply setting up a gate near the Moon Gate."

"I now feel that this gate is unsafe; once the main courtyard door is shut, who knows what can happen."

"I am thinking of sealing the Moon Gate, then making a new gate at the front. My family will then have a separate water meter," he said.

Yes, the water meter too would be completely separated to eliminate any chance they had of suppressing him.

"In the future, we won’t have anything to do with the Courtyard House."

"So we can avoid the so-called Uncle Steward from jumping out and criticizing us." Now that faces had been torn, it was a good opportunity to separate entirely from them.

Yi Zhonghai knew that Zhang Yu would seize such a good opportunity to make trouble, but he hadn’t expected her to go so far.

Today’s confrontation would surely be the talk of the town for a while, but it didn’t matter. Over time, people would stop bringing it up.

But if a separate entrance was made, in the future, whenever people saw that entrance, they would remember this incident.

"No, I disagree," Yi Zhonghai, with a grim face, said, "Zhang Yu, stop making trouble."

What? Zhang Yu didn’t want to bother with him, "Look, Director Wang, it’s all my fault, I am the troublemaker."

"How can I trust this clearly biased steward to handle things fairly?"

Zhang Yu asked Director Wang with a puzzled look, "Yi Zhonghai always says that if there are issues within Hongxing Courtyard House, they shouldn’t be leaked out."

"Otherwise, Lady Jia Zhang, upon seeing any family with tasty food, would curse at people in various ways. Not bringing some over to her place would be deemed a sin equivalent to committing the most heinous crimes."

"He Yuzhu often beats Xu Damao, and the Steward always says it’s a joke, but if Xu Damao were to strike He Yuzhu, the Steward would call it excessive and demand compensation."

Xu Damao had just come back from the commune and intended to rest, only to find himself unexpectedly in the middle of a lively scene.

As for stomping on Yi Zhonghai’s face to the ground, Xu Damao was absolutely supportive of it.

He hadn’t expected Zhang Yu, that girl, to be so capable and even remembered to bring him up, "Right, Director Wang, you have no idea."

Given the opportunity, of course, he couldn’t miss out and he talked about how the Stewards had been biased in the past.

Director Wang originally thought it was only Lady Jia Zhang’s issue, but it turned out that the problem was much bigger than anticipated. He realized that the issues at Hongxing Courtyard House were serious.

Yi Zhonghai knew that today’s matter couldn’t end well, "Xu Damao."

Xu Damao might have feared Yi Zhonghai in the past, but now that he had already spoken out, did he still need to fear Yi Zhonghai?

"Also, Director Wang, what exactly is the Steward supposed to do?"

"Why, in Yi Zhonghai’s words, even illegal matters are considered internal issues that he should resolve?"

"Of course, if the Steward handles matters fairly, that would be fine."

"But..."

"Should we just allow ourselves to be bullied?" Yi Zhonghai had always claimed that he was the Steward appointed by the street office, acting as if he were a representative with full authority, right?

If that were the case, let everyone understand the true powers of a Steward.

Yi Zhonghai had planned to give Zhang Yu and Xu Damao a good lesson once this blew over.

He intended to let them know the authority of the Steward was not something they could challenge.

However, before he could act, Zhang Yu wanted to fully clarify the responsibilities that the Steward was in charge of.

Director Wang didn’t know if the Stewards of the other courtyards were the same but took the chance to discuss the Steward’s role with everyone there.

"The street office oversees many courtyard houses and mixed-residence complexes, and with limited staff, there are many issues we can’t handle. So, we’ve arranged for each courtyard and complex to have a Steward and a Supervisor."

"Our intention is, when problems arise, they can be approached for solutions."

"If you feel their way of handling things is improper or unfair, by showing all kinds of favoritism, you can come to the street office for resolution."

"The Steward and Supervisor don’t have the right to handle all matters within the courtyard houses, such as illegal activities, fights, or forcibly occupying houses and the like."

"Those are all illegal acts."

Director Wang remembered the donation issue he had heard about earlier, "I also heard that Yi Zhonghai organized a few fundraising events here at Hongxing Courtyard House."

"Did you file a report with the street office beforehand?"

"No one can just organize so-called donations on a whim. They must be reported to the street office and approved. Only then can they be held under the supervision of our staff."

Qin Huairu didn’t care about the beatings or other issues, but when she heard that donations needed to be filed and approved before being organized with the support of the street office staff, she knew that fundraising in the courtyard house was impossible in the future.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu glared at Zhang Yu venomously. If it weren’t for her, things wouldn’t have turned out this way; it was all her fault.

Zhang Yu was not afraid at all and looked back coldly. This person, who wished to live as comfortably as in her previous life, simply couldn’t have that anymore.

Qin Huairu didn’t expect Zhang Yu’s gaze to send a chill down her spine. What was wrong with her? Zhang Yu was just a child. What was there to be scared of?
