Chapter 196 Dare to put on airs here? 1st Uncle, 2nd Uncle, get lost!
The disheveled departure of Xu Damao and his former leader brought a sudden silence to the neighboring courtyard.
He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi, and even the third uncle Yan Bugui all gained a deeper understanding of Lin Fan's strength.
No one dares to provoke them anymore.
They all knew that Lin Fan was not someone to be trifled with.
However, there were two other people in the courtyard who called themselves "local officials".
They always felt obligated to "discipline" Lin Fan.
It was none other than Yi Zhonghai, the eldest uncle in the courtyard, and Liu Haizhong, the second eldest uncle.
Uncle Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-grade fitter at the steel rolling mill, was a highly respected figure in the courtyard.
He likes to use "morality" and "the big picture" to pressure people.
He heard about Xu Damao and Banggeng.
Although he was somewhat wary of Lin Fan's strength, he also felt that Lin Fan was "unsociable" and "unreasonable".
He believed that this new neighbor was completely lacking in "unity and friendship".
Liu Haizhong, the second uncle, was a careerist at heart.
He usually loves to put on airs.
He felt that Lin Fan, a young man who had just moved in, dared to be arrogant in front of him, the "manager".
This is utterly disrespectful to elders.
He was determined to teach Lin Fan a "lesson".
Let him know who is in charge of this courtyard.
That evening, the two old men discussed it.
They decided to go to Lin Fan's courtyard house together tomorrow to "have a good talk".
The next morning, the two old men arrived at the gate of Lin Fan's courtyard house.
Yi Zhonghai raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Thump, thump, thump."
Fang Qingxue opened the door.
When she saw the two old men, her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
"Is something the matter?" Fang Qingxue's voice was indifferent.
When Yi Zhonghai saw Fang Qingxue, a smile immediately spread across his face.
He appeared kind and approachable.
"Hello, young lady. We are the eldest and second eldest uncles from the next courtyard. We have come here specifically to visit Mr. Lin."
Liu Haizhong, on the other hand, had a bureaucratic appearance.
He walked slowly into the courtyard with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with a scrutinizing gaze.
Fang Qingxue didn't say anything more.
She simply stepped aside, gesturing for them to go inside.
An old man and two old men walked into the courtyard.
What they saw before them left them stunned for a moment.
They had assumed that Lin Fan's courtyard house would be as dilapidated as the one next door.
Unexpectedly, the scene here was quite different.
The yard was spotless.
The vegetable garden was lush and green, and the air was filled with the fragrance of fruits.
Each vegetable looked plump and tempting.
In the corner, the World Tree stands tall and majestic, its branches and leaves flourishing.
It exudes a refreshing and invigorating aura.
And then there was that group of "foreigners" dressed in strange clothes.
Some of them were cleaning, some were busy in the vegetable garden, and some were busy in the kitchen.
Everyone was in high spirits and full of energy.
Yi Zhonghai was suddenly startled.
He could sense that this courtyard contained a powerful vitality.
It was better than any other auspicious place he had ever seen.
He thought to himself: *This Mr. Lin is indeed no ordinary person.*
Liu Haizhong had a thoughtful expression on his face.
He wondered to himself: *Just who is this Mr. Lin? Does he have some kind of hidden treasure at home?*
Lin Fan sat in the rocking chair, closing his eyes to rest.
He knew that his two uncles had arrived.
A slight displeasure arose in my heart.
He opened his eyes and glanced at them indifferently.
"What can I do for you?"
Lin Fan's tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
The two old men were startled when he swept his gaze across them.
They quickly composed themselves.
Yi Zhonghai quickly put on a smile, appearing kind and approachable.
"Mr. Lin, hello. We are the two old men from the next courtyard. We came here specifically to have a chat with you."
"What are we talking about?" Lin Fan sneered.
"What's there for me to talk about with you?"
Lin Fan's words immediately embarrassed Yi Zhonghai.
He understood that Mr. Lin didn't take him seriously at all.
Upon seeing this, Liu Haizhong quickly stepped forward.
He had a bureaucratic expression on his face.
"Mr. Lin, please don't misunderstand. We're just looking at you because you've only just moved in and there are some things you might not be aware of."
"There are rules in our courtyard. Neighbors should help each other and be united and friendly."
"You see, you've just moved in, shouldn't you try to get along well with us, your old neighbors?"
As Liu Haizhong spoke, he tried to project an air of official authority.
Lin Fan sneered.
"Rules? In my family, the rules are what I call the rules."
"My family members are none of your business, you mortals."
"If you have nothing else to say, get out of here!"
Lin Fan's tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
Liu Haizhong's face turned pale instantly after he said that.
A feeling of displeasure welled up inside me.
Upon seeing this, Yi Zhonghai quickly stepped forward.
His face held a hint of moral blackmail.
"Mr. Lin, you're mistaken about that."
"We are all neighbors in the same courtyard, and we should help each other."
"Look, your house is so big, with so many people living there, you certainly don't lack food."
"In our courtyard, Qin Huairu's family has many children, and they live a difficult life."
"Shouldn't you do them a favor and send them some rice, flour, and cooking oil?"
As Yi Zhonghai spoke, he tried to use his morality to pressure Lin Fan.
He figured that Lin Fan was so rich that he definitely wouldn't refuse his request.
Lin Fan found Yi Zhonghai's words amusing.
These people really have their eyes on him.
He gave a cold laugh.
"Support them? Why should I support them?"
"Their family is having a hard time, that's their own business."
"What does this have to do with me?"
"My family members all earn their living with their own hands."
"If they want to improve their lives, they should earn their own money and not rely on others."
Lin Fan's tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale instantly.
A feeling of displeasure welled up inside me.
Seeing this, Liu Haizhong quickly stepped forward as well.
He had a bureaucratic expression on his face.
"Mr. Lin, you're mistaken about that."
"There are rules in our courtyard. New neighbors are expected to get along well with the old neighbors."
"You see, you've just moved in, shouldn't you treat us old neighbors to a meal to reconnect?"
As Liu Haizhong spoke, he once again tried to display his official authority.
Lin Fan sneered.
"Eating? The food in my house isn't something just anyone can eat."
"If you want to eat, go home and cook for yourselves."
"Don't mess around with me!"
Lin Fan's tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
Liu Haizhong's face turned pale instantly after he said that.
A feeling of displeasure welled up inside me again.
Seeing Lin Fan's tough attitude, Yi Zhonghai felt very uncomfortable.
He felt that Lin Fan was disrespecting him.
He snorted and pointed to the World Tree in the courtyard.
He started talking nonsense.
"Mr. Lin, your tree is growing so tall, it's a bit inappropriate."
"This tree is too tall; it blocks the sunlight and affects the feng shui of the yard."
"Besides, with so many strange things hanging on this tree, is there something unclean among them?"
As Yi Zhonghai spoke, he tried to step forward and touch the trunk of the World Tree.
Lin Fan felt a surge of disgust as he looked at Yi Zhonghai's nonsensical manner.
He despises these self-righteous mortals the most.
He snorted coldly.
His eyes suddenly narrowed.
An invisible aura erupted from him instantly.
Like a flash flood or tsunami, it instantly engulfed the two old men.
The two old men felt an immense force pressing down on them.
It makes them have difficulty breathing and their bodies stiffen.
It can't even move.
Their mouths were open, but no sound came out.
Their faces turned deathly pale instantly.
His eyes were filled with fear.
They felt as if an invisible hand was choking them.
I could suffocate at any moment.
In the courtyard, everyone was taken aback by Lin Fan's sudden display of power.
Fang Qingxue and her cousins, on the other hand, had expressions of complete indifference.
They knew that the man was already very impatient.
Lin Fan looked coldly at the two old men.
His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.
"If you dare to talk nonsense in my house again, I'll throw you out to feed the dogs."
The two old men trembled with fear when Lin Fan spoke to them.
His eyes were filled with fear.
They felt like they had just escaped death.
Lin Fan withdrew his imposing aura.
The two old men immediately collapsed to the ground.
They were panting heavily, their bodies drenched in cold sweat.
Lin Fan glanced at them coldly.
"I'll say it again, get out of here if you have nothing else to say!"
The two old men were terrified when Lin Fan said that.
They knew Mr. Lin wasn't joking.
They scrambled out of Lin Fan's courtyard house in a panic.
After everyone left, the courtyard returned to its usual tranquility.
Lin Fan watched their retreating figures, feeling somewhat annoyed.
He thought these people were a real nuisance.
He sighed and lay back down in the rocking chair.
He knew that these people would not let this go so easily.
But he couldn't be bothered to pay them any attention.
He believed that as long as he was powerful enough, he could keep all the troubles out.
He closed his eyes and continued to enjoy the rare moment of peace.
At this moment, the two old men were filled with fear and regret.
They hadn't expected Lin Fan to be so powerful.
This time, they've really bitten off more than they can chew.
They thought to themselves that they would never dare to provoke Lin Fan again.
