Sky-high orchid garden sparks dispute; after reaching an agreement, the neighbor called the police

"Sky-high orchid garden" sparks dispute; both sides reached a consensus in talks, but then the neighbor turned hostile and called the police.

People often say that distant water cannot quench a nearby thirst, and a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Indeed, in such a harmonious society, getting along well with neighbors is especially important. If any household has a bit of trouble, it still has to rely on the strong support of its neighbors.

However, in urban residential compounds, because space is limited and everything is high-rise buildings, the former horizontal spread has become today's vertical extension. A single building can have dozens or even hundreds of floors, so our neighbors have become the households above and below us. This inevitably leads to crowding and other effects due to space and other reasons.

There is nothing wrong with growing orchids; it is all for purifying the air and beautifying one's home. But in a residential compound on Huancheng East Road in Zhaotong City, Yunnan Province, neighbors fell out with each other just because of watering orchids. What was going on? It turned out that the two households were upstairs-downstairs neighbors. Because Mr. Huang upstairs was growing a lot of orchids, it was like a sky garden, bringing plenty of vitality and energy to his home and giving his house a completely new look. Because the orchids had to be watered frequently, the excess water seeped down into Mr. Jiang's home downstairs. According to Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, the water was like a waterfall, soaking their walls and so on.

In response to this situation, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang downstairs also raised the issue with their neighbor. According to Mr. Huang upstairs, the two sides had originally reached an agreement: since watering the flowers at night affected the sleep of the people downstairs, they would switch to watering during the day. However, what he did not expect was that Mr. and Mrs. Jiang actually called the police. As a result, each side had its own account of what happened.

When this situation arose, the local police also began mediating the matter. How exactly did the mediation go? We will have to wait a little while, and then we will know the result. Here, the editor wants to say that, as urban compound housing, it is not like our rural courtyards, where growing as many pots of orchids as you like is no big deal, because there is plenty of space. But compound housing is different; space is limited. Growing a few pots on your own small balcony is still fine, but if you want to build your own sky garden, that really is a bit unrealistic. Daily care and management are rather tedious, and watering the orchids is a huge problem. If you often walk along the river, can you guarantee your feet will not get wet?

Of course, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. As long as both sides discuss things properly, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome. After all, harmony is what brings prosperity. Wouldn't you agree?
