Chapter 94 The Deaf Old Lady Takes the Blame

Now that they have a toilet at home, they don't have to queue outside every day. Although there is no running water in the house, Shazhu and his sister are still very happy.

There were people in the courtyard who were envious, jealous, and even resentful, but none of them could affect the happy mood of the brothers and sisters.

In order to deal with Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady personally came forward and persuaded Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui to put aside their conflicts and suppress the gossip in the courtyard together.

Xu Fugui noticed it and wanted to destroy it, but the power disparity was too great and it had no effect. He was worried about being targeted by the deaf old lady, so he had to take Xu Damao with him and stop.

Yi Zhonghai was also busy, relying on his status as a master chef to convince other master chefs and exert his influence in the factory. Soon, the news about him trying to seize the house of his neighbor in the same courtyard was suppressed.

Occasionally, some people would talk about it on the street, but it wouldn't cause any stir.

After doing all this, the deaf old lady went to see Director Pan. At this time, the liaison officer's job had been decided, and the Military Control Commission slowly began to elect liaison officers.

Director Pan was very happy to hear the deaf old lady's proposal: "Old lady, you really support our work. Others are still skeptical about this, but you stepped forward to apply. This is a good start for our work.

I will arrange for someone to go to your hospital to elect a liaison officer as soon as possible."

Seeing that Director Pan was very happy, the deaf old lady took the opportunity to recommend a liaison officer: "There are many people in our hospital, and there are many troublemakers. One liaison officer may not be enough. I have a suggestion. We can select a liaison officer from each of the three hospitals, front, middle and back. Is that okay?"

Director Pan is also an old revolutionary, and he immediately thought of the merger of the courtyard houses.

"Old lady, you..."

The deaf old lady knew that those little tricks could not be hidden from Director Pan, so she said: "Xiao Pan, I am old and have no children. No one in the whole courtyard is willing to take care of me."

"Old lady, you can go to a nursing home. I promise to arrange it for you." Director Pan said.

The deaf old lady didn't know much about the situation in the nursing home, but she could tell from thinking about it that with so many elderly people living together, no one was worse off than anyone else, and it was impossible for the people in the nursing home to favor her and give her all the good food.

It’s different in a courtyard. She is the biggest in the courtyard. As long as she manages well, she is the ancestor of the courtyard, and everyone needs to respect her.

"Listen to me. Zhonghai is the only good kid in the hospital who treats me like his own mother. It's a pity that this kid has a bad fate and will never have children in his life.

I was worried that he would be bullied, so I stayed in the hospital as a way of repaying him for taking care of me.

I have no other request, I just want to get him a liaison position so that people won’t dare bully him.”

Director Pan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Old lady, have you been cheated? I heard that Yi Zhonghai teamed up with Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui to bully the neighbors and force them to give up their houses."

"Rumors." The deaf old lady shouted, "Xiao Pan, don't believe these rumors. These are all slanders made by that villain Xu Fugui against Zhonghai.

Think about it, Zhong Hai and his wife don't even have children, why do they need so many houses? If they really want a house, can't I give them my house? There is no need for him to force Sha Zhu to give up the house.

I also asked Zhonghai about this. He had good intentions but ended up doing something bad. He was worried that Shazhu would spend money lavishly and not be able to support his sister. It was just that he was too impatient, which led to misunderstandings. If you don't believe me, you can ask around. Zhonghai definitely never asked Shazhu to give up the house.

Shazhu is a little bit slow-witted, so his father gave him this nickname out of anger. He believed what others said when they tried to trick him.

Director Pan felt that what the deaf old lady said made sense. Yi Zhonghai's family had a house, and there was also the deaf old lady's house. It was useless for him to have so many houses.

"Then what about the cellar he said he would return to Sha Zhu?" The deaf old lady sighed, "This matter is not Zhong Hai's fault, but my fault. I thought that we were all neighbors, and there was no need to be isolated for a cellar. Zhang Xiaohua is a bit fierce, and Zhong Hai can't reason with her.

I gave him an idea, to suppress the matter first. It was true that the cellar belonged to Sha Zhu's family, but in previous years, everyone used it together. The cabbages bought in winter were all placed in the cellar without locking the door.

You say, does it matter whose cellar this is? When everyone buys cabbage, Zhang Xiaohua can't lock the door. The cellar is still stupid.

But I didn't expect that Shazhu was so resentful towards Zhonghai and misunderstood Zhonghai's meaning.

I don't know who told that kid the gossip, but he didn't believe anything we said. I thought if he didn't believe us, he should at least believe the government. You can arrange for someone to come back to the courtyard with me, and I'll apologize to him in front of everyone."

Director Pan quickly said, "You are too kind. As an elder, how can you apologize to a younger person? It is even more inappropriate for us to apologize."

The deaf old lady's performance did not end. She said, "You don't know what evil that child has done. He used to call me grandma, but now he treats me like an enemy. He keeps saying that we are neighbors and that I shouldn't pretend to be his elder. How can you say that I pretended to be his elder? Why don't you arrange for someone to talk to him. I'm afraid that the child will go astray."

Her intention was very clear. She wanted to take advantage of Director Pan, the big tiger, to take a walk around the courtyard. When the time came, Sha Zhu would have to recognize her as his grandmother, whether he recognized her or not.

As for Shazhu’s opinion?
Is it important?
The Military Control Commission has already stepped in, and she doesn't believe that Sha Zhu would dare to go against the Military Control Commission.

If it was the original fool, he might have ignored it. But now this fool, slippery, would never have the courage to oppose the military control committee's opinion.

Director Pan is not stupid, it is impossible for him to support the deaf old lady in this matter. In terms of age, the deaf old lady is indeed the elder of Sha Zhu. But if Sha Zhu refuses to admit it, no one can force Sha Zhu to bow his head.

If he dares to send someone to support the deaf old lady, he will be punished once Sha Zhu makes a fuss.

"Old lady, I know you are enthusiastic, but everyone has his own way of living. Since he doesn't want to get close to you, you should just pretend he doesn't exist.

I also understand the situation in your hospital. When the meeting starts, I will suggest that we go to your hospital as soon as possible to arrange a liaison officer. "

The deaf old lady was a little disappointed, but there was nothing she could do. She was afraid that Director Pan would be suspicious, so she didn't dare to say anything else.

After returning to the courtyard, she went to Yi Zhonghai's house, waited for Yi Zhonghai to come home, and told him what happened.

"I told Director Pan that those ideas were all mine. You mustn't let it slip."

On the surface, it was a reminder to Yi Zhonghai and to collude with Yi Zhonghai in his testimony, but in fact it was a reminder to Yi Zhonghai that the deaf old lady had paid a lot and he should not be heartless.

Yi Zhonghai was no fool. He knew that he owed the deaf old lady a huge favor, so he said generously: "Cui Lan, go buy one pound, no, buy two pounds of meat. I want to thank the old lady."

Miao Cuilan also heard the words of the deaf old lady and was very moved. The deaf old lady took the blame for Yi Zhonghai and the price she paid was indeed quite high. She did not hesitate at all and went out to buy meat.

Sha Zhu didn't know why Yi Zhonghai bought the meat, nor did he care. The only thing he cared about was whether Jia Zhang would go to borrow the meat in person or arrange for Jia Dongxu to go.

He was relieved until he saw Jia Dongxu holding a bowl and going to Yi Zhonghai's house. He gave He Yushui a banana.

I made a bet in my mind just now. If Jia Zhangshi goes, He Yushui will eat apples, and if Jia Dongxu goes, He Yushui will eat bananas.
