"I am advising you to handle this calmly for your own good. It is my responsibility as the eldest uncle!"
"If you are unwilling to listen to my advice, that's fine. You must have demonstrated good behavior in prison to be released early!"
"When you left, the prison authorities must have spoken with you. Think it over carefully!"
"I..."
After Wang Dapeng finished speaking, Bang Geng's expression shifted slightly.
Clearly, Wang Dapeng was someone who understood the situation.
Bang Geng's early release from prison was indeed due to good behavior.
Why did Bang Geng behave well in prison? Was it because he had seen the light?
Don't be ridiculous!
Bang Geng was, at best, a petty thief. What kind of people were in prison?
Everyone locked up was a defiant character.
Bang Geng had suffered greatly in prison and was beaten into submission. He had no choice but to behave.
This was Bang Geng's second time in prison.
Going in again this time would be considered repeated offense.
The prison had made it clear to him: the period immediately after release was a probation period.
If he committed any offenses during this time, he would be dealt with severely and strictly.
Now, Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua had been successfully "won over" by Yi Zhonghai and were no longer listening to him.
If Bang Geng forcibly took them away now, Wang Dapeng would immediately report it to the police station.
After all, Wang Dapeng, as the eldest uncle, had an obligation to do so.
You want to do whatever you please?
Fine, you might be powerful today, but tomorrow you'll be rotting in prison.
If you want to act tough, you must be prepared to go to jail.
Finally, Bang Geng's expression changed drastically: "Eldest Uncle, what are you saying!"
"I was just acting on impulse. How could I possibly lay a hand on you!"
"Alright, if it was just an impulse, then stop causing trouble and go home to rest early!"
Wang Dapeng didn't want to waste more words arguing with Bang Geng. After all, Bang Geng now carried the label of a former convict.
In this era, being labeled a former convict was a sure sign of a dangerous person.
Who would willingly provoke such a person?
Wang Dapeng advised Bang Geng to hurry home, but Bang Geng stubbornly replied.
"Eldest Uncle, please say something fair!"
"My two younger sisters are both girls!"
"Is it appropriate for two young girls to live with Yi Zhonghai, a lonely old man?"
"I..."
Wang Dapeng said sternly, "This matter was arranged by the neighborhood committee!"
"Bang Geng, if you have any objections, you can go to the neighborhood committee tomorrow to voice them!"
Bang Geng retorted, "To prevent Yi Zhonghai from bullying my sisters, I must stay here tonight!"
Yi Zhonghai angrily rebuked, "Bang Geng, you brat, stop causing trouble!"
"I'm annoyed just seeing you. You want to freeload here? No way!"
"Fine!"
Bang Geng retorted, not to be outdone, "I've disliked you for a long time!"
"You've been collecting our family's relief money for years!"
"Now, return that money to us, and I'll take my sisters home!"
"From now on, the relationship between our two families will be severed completely. We'll never see each other again!"
"Bang Geng, I think you little bastard doesn't want to live!"
"Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua are doing well with me!"
"You can't even support yourself now, and you think you can support two sisters? You're dreaming!"
"You don't need to meddle in our affairs. Our Jia family would rather starve than eat a single grain of your food, Yi Zhonghai!"
"Xiao Dang, Huaihua, come with me quickly!"
Bang Geng's emotions surged again, and he was about to forcibly take the two girls.
Xiao Dang shouted, "Help! Bang Geng is a former convict, and he wants to kill me!"
"I don't want to go with him. Eldest Uncle, please save me!"
Wang Dapeng said sternly, "Bang Geng, you're determined to be difficult, aren't you?"
"I'm going to the police station right now. When the police arrive, you'll know the consequences!"
Wang Dapeng actually didn't want to get involved in this mess, but he was the eldest uncle of the courtyard.
Since he had taken on the role of the eldest uncle, he had to bear the responsibility.
Bang Geng was about to take the two little girls away in full view of everyone.
If Wang Dapeng watched and did nothing about such a major incident, he would be disciplined.
As Wang Dapeng's attitude hardened, Bang Geng's immediately softened.
"Alright, alright, Eldest Uncle, don't be impatient!"
"I won't insist on taking my sisters away now. I can stay to protect them, can't I?"
"My two sisters are still young. If I don't protect them, I'm afraid Yi Zhonghai, that old scoundrel, will bully them!"
"Okay!"
Wang Dapeng nodded and agreed, "Bang Geng, as long as you don't act blindly and rashly, I won't interfere excessively in your family matters!"
"Tonight, you will temporarily stay at Yi Zhonghai's place!"
"But you must coexist peacefully!"
"After daybreak tomorrow, I will have Director Wang from the neighborhood committee come to mediate your dispute!"
"Alright, then it's settled!" Bang Geng agreed with a nod.
Yi Zhonghai sternly warned Bang Geng again, "Bang Geng, listen carefully!"
"If you dare to cause any trouble, I will report you to the police station immediately!"
"Hmph!"
Bang Geng ignored Yi Zhonghai and went inside.
The conflict between Bang Geng and Yi Zhonghai was irreconcilable.
After all, to this day, Bang Geng still believed that Yi Zhonghai was responsible for Jia Dongxu's death.
It was a confirmed fact that Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu had a private affair.
Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai colluded to murder Jia Dongxu.
These were words that Jia Zhangshi had told Bang Geng herself years ago.
Although Jia Zhangshi had been dead for several years, the impact of this matter on Bang Geng's heart had never faded.
That night, Bang Geng was exhausted.
After entering the house, he fell asleep directly on Yi Zhonghai's bed.
In fact, Yi Zhonghai's bed was spacious enough for two people.
The key question was, did Yi Zhonghai dare to share a room with Bang Geng?
The old man worried that Bang Geng might suddenly lash out in the middle of the night and stab him in the neck.
That night, Yi Zhonghai made do with sleeping on the floor in the outer room.
The next morning.
Wang Jun, along with Wang Dapeng, arrived at Liu Kai Xuan's home.
