Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's slightly expectant expression, the deaf old lady drooped her eyelids and began to speak slowly.

“Zhong Hai, it’s not that I, an old lady, don’t want to help, it’s that I can’t intervene.”

"I also know that you are in a difficult situation right now, Zhong Hai. Everyone in the hospital is targeting you, and you feel very uncomfortable."

"But think about your current reputation. You are unpopular in the hospital. It is you who has damaged the reputation of the big guys. Director Wang of the Street Office is very dissatisfied with your actions."

"Tell me, how can I help you?"

Yi Zhonghai's face was clouded with gloom and he was in a very bad mood. He knew that the old lady was right. He had been telling himself over the past period of time that he must be patient, because a little impatience would ruin a great plan.

The storm will eventually pass, and that will be the time for you to come forward.

But what happened last night was another blow to Yi Zhonghai.

Such a long time has passed, and my neighbors' attitude towards me has become increasingly worse. If I can't reverse this trend, it will be too late for me to restore my reputation by then.

There was no room for him to speak in the courtyard. If he didn't have the authority, could he still easily control the Jia family?

By then, my retirement plan will be ruined, and the Jia family will be out of my control. No, I will never allow things to go off track.

I looked up at Sha Zhu and decided to get him out of the way first.

"Silly Zhu, go back first! I'm going to discuss some important matters with the old lady, so don't listen. I'm afraid you might let something slip."

Sha Zhu walked out reluctantly. Yi Zhonghai gave the aunt a look and asked her to keep an eye on the outside and wait for the aunt to go out.

Yi Zhonghai spoke seriously.

"Old lady, I know that I have a bad reputation now, but you know the neighbors in our yard. They are all shallow-minded people."

"I'm prepared to pay a price so they can get a taste of what's good and support me. It's just the streets..."

When the deaf old lady heard Yi Zhonghai say this, she knew that Old Yi had made up his mind and wanted to win back the steward.

If I don't speak up, I will really offend Yi Zhonghai, and there will definitely be problems with the care of Auntie in the future.

The two families are now tied together. The deaf old lady needs Yi Zhonghai's care, and Yi Zhonghai needs the deaf old lady's network resources.

"That's fine. If you can win over some people in Zhonghai during this period, I will use my connections to find someone to help you run the operation. It shouldn't be a problem."

"But the most important thing is that you must be careful during this period and don't let any bad things get out."

"If something happens to damage your reputation, there will be nothing you can do even if you look for someone."

Seeing that the deaf old lady agreed to help, Yi Zhonghai nodded excitedly.

"Old lady, don't worry. I have been very quiet during this period. I have been invisible for a long time. There are basically no rumors about me outside."

"That's why I want to fight for the steward again."

"Don't worry!"

After the two men finished discussing, they chatted for a while, and then asked an aunt to take the deaf old lady to Sha Zhu's home.

At this time, the neighbors in the yard did not know that Yi Zhonghai had another idea and wanted to become the manager again.

After arriving at Sha Zhu's house and seeing Sha Zhu sitting on the kang smoking, the deaf old lady couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

"My silly Zhu, why don't you grow up with your heart? Why are you still causing trouble? Tell me how bad your reputation has become."

After Sha Zhu helped the old lady sit down, he spoke somewhat awkwardly.

"Old lady, I didn't cause any trouble. I just wanted to teach that kid a lesson last night, but I didn't expect him to kill me and kick me in the chest."

After saying that, he stared out the window fiercely.

"I will never let this little bastard off."

The angry deaf old lady hit Sha Zhu twice with her cane, and then tried to counsel He Yuzhu earnestly.

"Silly Zhu, why can't you remember what I told you last time?"

"You need to be quiet for a while and wait until things calm down. If we want to deal with that brat, we have to take a long-term view. Beating him up is only the last resort. Why don't you listen?"

This made Shazhu feel a little embarrassed.

"No, old lady, I didn't mean to provoke him, but that bastard always helps Sha Mao. If I don't teach him a lesson, he won't know how powerful I am."

Seeing the foolish Zhu who was just showing off his bravery, the deaf old lady was too lazy to preach. This foolish boy didn't listen to her. You will know when he suffers.

However, the deaf old lady is increasingly determined to find a wife for Shazhu, so she has to find someone to discipline him.

...

When the workers got off work after a busy day, the residents of No. 95 Courtyard seemed particularly happy.

The smile on his face puzzled the neighbors around him.

The reputation of No. 95 Courtyard is so bad that I heard that no one dares to introduce dating to them. How come they all look so happy?

Neighbors who had good news asked as they walked.

"Brother Sun, is there something happy happening in your hospital? Tell us, and let us be happy for you too."

"Hey, there's nothing to be happy about. I've been working hard all day and I want to go home and have a good rest. Isn't this something worth being happy about?"

The neighbors couldn't find out anything.

The people in No. 95 Courtyard were particularly tight-lipped this time, so they turned to talk about the gossip of other courtyards, and started chatting about the private affairs of other families.

After everyone came back, we decided to hold a meeting immediately before it got dark.

In addition, Yan Fugui suggested finding a few children to squat at the door to prevent outsiders from entering the yard and being heard.

Yan Fugui took the stage without delay and started speaking directly.

"Dear neighbors, today's matter will be resolved by our courtyard. We don't have a chief in charge right now. Let's vote by raising our hands. If we are wrong, we will accept the punishment. Do you agree?"

The neighbors discussed it downstairs, thought it was a good idea, and started shouting in varying degrees of agreement.

"agree."

"First of all, Jia Dongxu was beaten last night. Jia Dongxu, you stand up."

Seeing Jia Dongxu come on stage, the neighbors recalled the scene of Jia Dongxu having diarrhea last night, and they immediately burst into laughter, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Jia Dongxu's face turned a little dark, but he was in a good mood. There was no news of his diarrhea in the factory, which proved that no one in the hospital talked about it.

This also made Jia Dongxu put his worries aside.

Neighbors, let them laugh if they want! We have lived together for many years, so just tell a few jokes as long as they are not spread outside.

"Dongxu, you explain the situation, and then the neighbors will make the judgment."

Jia Dongxu described the beating he received and then said that he didn't see who beat him.

"Shazhu, come out for a moment. Yesterday you said it was Xu Damao who beat you up. Do you have any evidence?"

"I have."
