Chapter 119 Small Things, Big Things

"Fuck you, Jia Dongxu, are you angry? I just took a look, it's not like I lost a piece of meat." Ma San was confused. The relationship between the two families used to be pretty good.

Jia Dongxu was filled with anger, all of which was provoked by Ma San.
Hearing this, Jia Dongxu rushed forward like a tiger, but was blocked by Ma Sanyi and his attack failed.

After a while, the two hugged each other and entered the ground attack phase.

However, it was the thinner Ma San who was beating Jia Dongxu.

The quarrels and cries of pain from the fight attracted all the neighbors.

At first the neighbors just stood by and pointed, and some even gave instructions.

For example, if you use a "monkey stealing peaches" game, you might be able to tell who wins and who loses right away...

Until Yi Zhonghai came out, with a gloomy face, stood in front of the two people, and shouted: "Stop, stand up, Ma San, are you causing trouble again?"

Where is the “reason” in the slum?
Whoever has more brothers and sisters or relatives and friends, whoever is good at speaking and has a loud voice, and whoever is popular in the yard, then he is the one who is right!

Just like the fight between Jia Dongxu and Ma San, Ma San just took a second look, and Jia Dongxu took the initiative to provoke him, and it was Jia Dongxu who started the fight first.

But in the end, when the neighbors came out, they all believed what Jia Dongxu said.

That is, Ma San flirted with Qin Huairu with obscene eyes, and also accompanied it with some indescribable actions.

Ma San explained again, but no one believed him.

There was no choice, Yi Zhonghai stood on Jia Dongxu's side.

The Yi and Jia families had a bad reputation in the alley, but no one had ever taken the initiative to cause trouble over such a small matter.

The key point is that the Yi and Jia families are both high-income families in the courtyard. Even if Jia Dongxu's skills are not very good, he still makes nearly 300,000 yuan a month, which is twice as much as Ma San who works odd jobs on the street.

Ma San was an old bachelor, and his reputation was even worse when it came to these things. Even though his half-blind mother explained that her son was not that kind of person, everyone still believed this.

The so-called half blindness is cataracts. Now I can still vaguely see some nearby objects, but it is only a matter of time before I can no longer see at all.

The only hope of Ma San's mother in this life is to find another wife for Ma San, who is almost 30 years old, and leave a descendant for the Ma family.

But everyone agreed with Jia Dongxu's statement.

In this case, there is no other way to say it, just accept the beating and punishment.

Ma San, who was as thin as a chicken, had to pay 20,000 yuan to the tall and strong Jia Dongxu, and admit his mistake and apologize in front of all the neighbors in the courtyard.

Ma San's mother collapsed to the ground, wailing and calling on all the gods and Buddhas, asking all the Bodhisattvas to come out to testify for Ma San, but no one believed her.

According to Yi Zhonghai, if Ma San disagrees with this result, then everyone should go to the institute to reason. Anyway, the facts are here, and when the time comes, Ma San should be imprisoned for a few days, and the comrades in the institute will take good care of him.

If Jia Dongxu wrongly accuses Ma San, then let Jia Dongxu kowtow and apologize.

This statement seems fair, but Yi Zhonghai's position is too biased.

One was to go to jail, and the other was to just apologize. In the end, even though Ma San insisted that he did not do those things, he was still pulled by his mother, slapped in the face, and his already thin waist was bent.

Ma San's mother tremblingly took out a handkerchief from her bosom, opened it, and revealed a handful of change.

Ma San's mother complained: "We, the Ma family, acknowledge this misunderstanding. We, the Ma family, will bear this loss.

I just want to ask all of you neighbors for a favor. Let’s keep this matter within our yard and don’t spread it outside.

I am begging you all here.”

After saying that, Ma San's mother knelt down.

Everyone looked away, and they all understood what Ma San's mother meant.

In other words, everyone knows the facts, and the Ma family has to admit this loss whether they want to or not. Now they just want to protect the Ma family’s reputation.

Yu Shui leaned against the window and looked outside, but turned to He Yuzhu and asked, "Brother, do you think I should go out and testify for Ma San? I saw everything just now. It was Jia Dongxu who was looking for trouble."

He Yuzhu said: "Do you think other people didn't see it?"

"Then why don't people tell the truth? Although Ma San is not a good person, Aunt Ma feels so pitiful." Yu Shui has her own values.

He Yuzhu didn't mind talking to his sister about this, but patiently explained: "Because the Ma family is easy to bully!
The Ma family has only one orphan and a widow, and they are poor.

Jia Dongxu has Yi Zhonghai's support, so he is considered a wealthy family in this alley.

No one is afraid of offending the Ma family, but everyone is afraid of causing trouble if they offend the Yi and Jia families.

This matter is just like what happened between our family and the Jia family last year.

There are so many families in the yard, and you were awakened by Jia Zhang's actions. Don't other families in the yard know about it?

At that time, we were just easy to bully. If my brother hadn’t asked Uncle Xia to take charge of our family, then our He family would have been in trouble.”

Yu Shui curled her lips, but accepted this reality, and just muttered quietly: "These people are so bad."

Of course, Yu Shui was not referring to the Jia family and the Yi family, but to everyone standing in the yard.

Everyone is like this. When something happens in other people's families, they stand by and watch, gloating over their misfortune.

Then when something happens to their family, they expect others to have some conscience.

He Yuzhu had no intention of leaving. He did not hold a grudge, but he also remembered that when the police station arrested Jia Zhang, Ma San's mother also said that He Yuzhu had no conscience and bullied the neighbors in the yard.

Besides, it would be useless even if He Yuzhu went out. Everyone had already decided on something, and no matter how right He Yuzhu was, he was no match for four hands.

After all, He Yuzhu is not that kind.

The matter was resolved and the gossip spread.

Since no one agreed to Ma San's mother's request on the spot, this result was inevitable.

Soon, there were short stories on the street about Ma San molesting his neighbor's wife, and each one was more outrageous than the last.

Apart from anything else, several small business owners who originally hired Ma San to do odd jobs have told him not to go anymore.

Ma San could only run to a farther place to find odd jobs.

There was also a matchmaker who was originally commissioned by Ma San's mother, who came and cancelled the Ma family's business.

To all the neighbors in the yard, it was just a small matter.

For the Ma family, it was almost a disaster.

Not only did He Yuzhu not get involved, but even the neighbors in the front and back yards did not get involved.

He Yuzhu doesn't get along well with the Ma family, and even less so with the Yi and Jia families.

He didn't want to, and there was no point in getting involved, so he could only use this incident to educate Yu Shui.

The front and back yards did not get involved, probably because the decision was made by the neighbors in the middle yard and had nothing to do with them.

I guess Ma San must be very regretful that he shouldn't have thought of picking trouble with He Yuzhu.

To put it bluntly, Ma San heard that He Yuzhu was cooking for someone else. He wanted to hang out with He Yuzhu, but he didn't want to cause trouble. But if he could get some benefits, it would be free.

Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu ignored him and instead provoked Jia Dongxu.

All I can say is, you deserve it!
