Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

"Old lady, how have you thought about it? If you haven't made up your mind, go back to the backyard and think it over before coming back."

Seeing that the deaf old lady was still hesitating, Yi Zhonghai reminded her again.

The implication is that you need her to understand that once you leave, you may not be able to go back.

The helpless deaf old lady thought it over again and again, and could only take out the small gold ingots she had prepared from her pocket and handed them to Yi Zhonghai.

"Zhong Hai, I hope you keep your word. If you can't do it, don't blame me for the loss of both sides."

Yi Zhonghai was not angry. He happily took the gold ingot and shook it in his hand.

"Old lady, this gold ingot is only one or two taels, right? What can I do with this little stuff?"

Indeed, one tael of gold ingot weighs only 31.25 grams, and Yi Zhonghai really doesn't think highly of it.

Because he knew that the deaf old lady had quite a few hidden treasures, so he was prepared to ask for a huge sum.

The deaf old lady also knew that Yi Zhonghai had a big appetite, so she took out the gold ring from her pocket and handed it to him.

"That's all. You can take it or not. If you want more, it depends on your performance. If you serve me well, I can give you some every two years."

Yi Zhonghai also understood that this should be the old lady's limit. In order not to mess things up, he was ready to quit while he was ahead.

Anyway, the gap has been opened today, and there will be a fixed income every two years in the future, so why not do it?

"Old lady, please sit down and have some tea. I will go and fix the doors and windows for you. I will personally go to Liu Haizhong's place and make sure he doesn't dare to bother you in the future."

"Xiu Lian, go get the old lady a glass of water. I'm going to go out for a while. You stay with the old lady while I help her with her business."

"Hey! I'll go right away." Aunt Yi responded happily.

After settling the old lady, Yi Zhonghai walked towards the backyard. After all, if you take money from others, you should help them get rid of the disaster!

Arriving at the backyard, Yi Zhonghai came to Liu Haizhong's house.

When Liu Haizhong saw Yi Zhonghai coming, he knew it must be for the old deaf man, so he said unhappily.

"Lao Yi, if you are asking for mercy for that old deaf man, don't open your mouth, or I will chase you away immediately. Do you believe it?"

"Believe it! Why wouldn't I believe it, Second Uncle, you've caused a big disaster today. Are you sure you want to chase me away now? Believe it or not, as long as I leave this door, you won't even be able to be the manager anymore?"

Yi Zhonghai did not indulge Liu Haizhong. He hit his weak spot right from the start and aimed to end the battle quickly.

Liu Haizhong glanced at Yi Zhonghai hesitantly, "No, Old Yi, please explain clearly, how did I get into such a big trouble? Why can't I be the boss?"

"Okay! Let me ask you, why did you smash the glass in the old lady's house?" Yi Zhonghai asked confidently.

"Why? My son is getting married today. Look at what that old deaf man has done. Isn't this enough?" Liu Haizhong said with the same confidence.

"Excuse me, is that road yours? Who stipulated that others have to take a detour when you do business? Do you know what you are doing? Are you the Inspector of Eight Prefectures? Wherever you appear, others have to avoid you."

"This this…?"

Liu Haizhong couldn't catch his bangs anymore and was so scared that he was sweating coldly.

Because Yi Zhonghai's hat was too big, he really couldn't wear it.

Seeing that Liu Haidong could no longer hold on, Yi Zhonghai decided to strike while the iron was hot and give him some extra spice.

"Uncle, I said all this, but I'm not trying to scare you. If I hadn't stopped her, the old lady would have gone to the street office to commit suicide. If it came to that, have you thought about the consequences?"

This sentence became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Liu Haizhong. At this moment, he had lost his previous confidence.

"Lao Yi, we are all old neighbors. I don't want to make such a fuss. What do you think we should do now?"

Yi Zhonghai pretended to think for a moment, then said, "I think this is the way to go. You should compensate for her family's losses, and then apologize. I will help you mediate between them. When the old lady calms down, it should be possible to save the situation."

After hearing Yi Zhonghai's solution, Liu Haizhong felt so nauseous that he wanted to vomit, as if he had eaten a dead fly.

It's okay to ask him to compensate for the losses, a dozen pieces of glass are not worth much money, but he will definitely not be willing to apologize.

Yi Zhonghai also knew that Liu Haizhong cared about his reputation, and seeing that Liu Haizhong was hesitant, he came up with another plan.

"Uncle, are you too embarrassed to apologize?"

Liu Haizhong's face turned red when he was asked, which was a disguised admission of the matter.

"Uncle, it's okay if you don't want to apologize in person. I have another idea. Do you think I should tell you?"

"Hey, Lao Yi, what's the relationship between us? Just say whatever you want to say."

Seeing that Liu Haizhong was tricked, Yi Zhonghai didn't show any mercy either.

"Your son is getting married today, so there are some leftovers, right? You know the old lady is greedy, so why not bring some over to her and make her happy? Maybe..."

Liu Haizhong was completely speechless at this point. He could only blame himself for his bad luck. He nodded reluctantly and agreed to this plan that was full of loopholes.

In fact, the conflict between the two families was just an ordinary one. Even if it was brought to the street office, Liu Haizhong could still gain some upper hand and at most he would just criticize them.

Although he was a bit impulsive, it was still within the scope of human understanding.

As for the old lady’s behavior?

That is not just disgusting, it is extremely shameless. The street office will never tolerate such behavior.

Otherwise, the deaf old lady would have gone to complain long ago, and it would have been Yi Zhonghai's turn to take advantage of the situation.

The final result was that Liu Haizhong paid 5 yuan plus a bowl of leftovers and chose to end the matter.

From now on, the bridge will be the bridge, the road will be the road, and this matter will be over.

Yi Zhonghai took five dollars, picked up a bowl of leftovers, and happily returned to the central courtyard.

As a result, before he even got home, the deaf old lady stood up when she smelled the smell.

"It smells so good! Xiulian, what good things do you have hidden at home?"

Aunt Yi was also puzzled, she didn’t hide anything!

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai walked in from outside. When the two saw what was in his hand, they immediately knew where the fragrance came from.

"Zhonghai, how is the matter going?"

Although delicious food was in front of her, the deaf old lady was still worried and wanted to get things clear.

"Old lady, I was there to offer my respects and apologize, and finally convinced Liu Haizhong to stop pursuing the matter. From now on, we can just treat each other as strangers!"

"Then what is..." the deaf old lady asked, pointing at the basin in Yi Zhonghai's hand.

"Old lady, you've given so much today, so I have to say that I'm not sorry. I spent 5 yuan to buy you a pot of leftovers from the Liu family to satisfy your craving. Please don't despise me."

"No, no, you still think of an old woman like me."

After the deaf old lady finished speaking, she took the leftovers and started eating them directly with her hands without even using chopsticks.

I have to say that Yi Zhonghai, this old bastard, won today without any effort, and he won from both sides.

Not only did he get the gold for free, he also earned favors from both families, and all he paid was a few words.

Seeing the deaf old lady still eating as if no one was around, Yi Zhonghai was not idle either.

He went out and cut out a dozen pieces of glass and helped the deaf old lady install them, which cost more than one dollar in total.

As for the door being kicked?

Yi Zhonghai checked and found that the hinge was just loose. For him, a level 7 fitter, that was a piece of cake.

The people in the compound saw that Yi Zhonghai started to act like a filial son and a good grandson again, and they didn’t know what was going on.

If they knew that the deaf old lady had so many treasures hidden, they would probably rush to be her filial sons and grandsons.
