Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

Jia Zhang originally wanted to refute, but the smart girl also felt that the atmosphere today was not right. Director Wang was obviously well prepared, and the street staff even visited many people door to door before the meeting. After listening to what Yi Zhonghai said, it seemed that Old Yi wanted to push her out to take the blame.

She also knew that as long as Lao Yi did not fall, Jia Dongxu would still be his apprentice. The worst that could happen to her was that she would go to the street for ideological study for a period of time. If the situation got worse, she would just be sweeping the floor. What else could she do?

Director Wang did not only know the three things that Zheng Heping said during the day. He told them everything he knew one by one and broke them down to slap Yi Zhonghai in the face. As for Jia Zhang, she has completely fallen. Director Wang, you can do whatever you want. I have not violated the law. At most, I am just playing a gray area. Anyway, everyone in the hospital knows that I am a shameless person.

When it finally came to the point of asking for money from whoever's family cooked the meat dish, Jia Zhang refused to accept it.

"Director Wang, you can't just throw all the shit and urine pots at me just because I'm easy to bully, right?

I wasn't the first to go door-to-door begging. As for who did it first, you can go door to door and ask. Your street office has pretty much all the information anyway."

This sudden rebuttal almost made Director Wang lose face. The street office also let her know through questioning that it was the deaf old lady who did it first. Seeing that Jia Zhang was unwilling to take the blame, they could only try to smooth things over.

The truth is that she can't afford to offend Secretary Wang, who is behind the old lady.

"I want to make it clear here that from now on, no matter who cooks meat, other families are absolutely not allowed to ask for it. Comrades, the country is in a difficult period now, and it is not easy to eat meat. In particular, things like not giving meat and breaking windows must be stopped. If anyone does it again, the street office will deal with it seriously."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the yard knew that they were talking about the deaf old lady, and only this old guy liked to take advantage of his seniority and smash other people's windows.

It's just that she thought the weather was too cold and didn't come out to attend the conference, so she was able to avoid it.

At this time, the country had been established for less than 10 years, so the laws were not so perfect. If Jia Zhang was guilty of petty theft, there were only witnesses but no physical evidence, so it was difficult to constitute a crime. As for extortion, it was even more nonsense, and it could only be regarded as taking advantage of the opportunity to blackmail others. However, this practice is not worth promoting and should still be punished.

Then there is feudal superstition. Jia Zhang said that sometimes she missed Lao Jia too much, so she cried a few times when she missed him too much. What should Director Wang say about this? Isn't it right to let people miss their dead husbands?

At the end of the meeting, just as Jia Zhang had expected, her punishment was only to go to the street office for ideological education for half a year and clean the nearby streets for three months.

The rest is Yi Zhonghai's matter. Director Wang gets angry when he sees him now, and directly demotes him from his position as uncle. If it weren't for the fact that the couple has been taking care of the deaf old lady, he would probably have been treated the same as Jia Zhang.

When people have concerns, they will be hesitant about doing things, and Director Wang is no exception. However, she still asked Yi Zhonghai to go to the street for training every Sunday for a year, which dealt a heavy blow to the prestige of this old guy.

Through this meeting, the people in the courtyard also realized that the old man was not so invincible in the courtyard. What if he had the care of the deaf old lady? Wasn't he still humiliated by Director Wang?

Only Zhao Shanhe saw clearly that Director Wang did not win this time. It was so difficult for a section-level cadre to deal with an ordinary citizen. Although the opponent was a big brother worker, the level gap between the two was there. Anyone with a discerning eye would naturally see the truth here.

All the punishments now are not painful to these two people. When the three-year natural disaster period comes, Yi Zhonghai will use some tricks to get out, and won't he still be the boss? The saying that money suppresses slaves and skills suppress pedestrians will become more and more powerful as time goes by.

Of course, the ten years when the storm arose are not counted. Everything was a mess during those ten years. Moreover, if Jia Zhang had dared to engage in feudal superstition during that chaotic time, she would probably not even have the chance to meet Director Wang and would have been criticized to death.

Zheng Heping didn't expect that his report would cause so little harm to Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi. He couldn't help but think of what Zhao Shanhe said to him when he left the street office.

"If you fail to kill the snake, you will end up causing harm."

Although he was about to move out, Yi Zhonghai was only a seventh-level fitter after all, and there were only so many senior workers in the city. He might have friends in the valve factory, and he might find someone to deal with him. However, it was too late to regret now, and he could only take it one step at a time.

As soon as Director Wang and the people from the street office left, Yi Zhonghai went to the backyard to look for the deaf old lady without saying a word.

"Hey, Lao Yi, don't leave. The meeting isn't over yet. Now that Director Wang has left, I, as your uncle, have to criticize you for being so disorganized and undisciplined."

Yi Zhonghai treated Liu Haizhong's words as nonsense and ignored him and walked away on his own.

"Liu Haizhong, why are you acting so arrogant here? Director Wang didn't ask you to be a boss. That position was reserved for Lao Yi. You should have some self-awareness. Beating a child is all you can do."

Jia Zhang stood up and sneered at Liu Haizhong, then went back to the house with the stool. When the others saw that the two main characters had left, they decided to leave as well. It was very cold and who would want to suffer outside in the cold?

In less than two minutes, Liu Haizhong was the only one left in the yard sulking.

"You don't take me, your uncle, seriously, do you?"

........Dividing line.........

Yi Zhonghai arrived at the door of the deaf old lady's house and saw that the light in the house was still on, so he went straight in without knocking.

"Old lady, you haven't rested yet?"

The deaf old lady was sitting on the kang with a cane in her hand. She looked very energetic and didn't look like an old person at all. She only responded when she saw Yi Zhonghai enter the room and talk to her.

"How is it? Did Xiao Wang give you any trouble?

Judging from your complexion, you won't suffer any serious consequences.

I told you that the Jia family is not good when there is Jia Zhang, but you just didn't listen to my advice. You are dragged down by her family this time, right? If you really want to find someone to take care of you in your old age, you have to find Zhuzi. He has a kind heart, but he is a bit mean. As long as you treat him well, he will definitely take care of you in your old age.

As for the Jia family, you'd better let go as soon as possible. I'm afraid you can't control it."

Yi Zhonghai appeared to be smiling, but underneath the smile there was a hint of bitterness.

"Hey, old lady, you are right, but He Daqing just went to Baoding, he is not dead. I am afraid that he will come back one day. By then, Sha Zhu will definitely take care of his biological father, so how can he care about me?

I have taught Dongxu for several years. His behavior is okay, but he is a little impatient sometimes. However, this is a minor fault taught to him by Jia Zhang. I can correct it if I have time to discipline him more.

Although Jia Zhang has become more and more unreasonable in recent years, I am strong and healthy and will definitely live longer than her. When I am old, I will have Dongxu and Huairu to take care of me, and I will be content with that.”
