Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai looked at the old lady deliberately, and only continued when he saw that she did not refute him.

"This time, thanks to your face, otherwise Director Wang would not have been so easy on me and only let me go to the street office to participate in the study on Sundays. However, my position as an uncle is gone. I am afraid I will not be able to command others in the yard in the future. Old lady, do you have any way to let me get this position back?"

The old lady lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking about. It took a long time before she replied.

"You can study at the street office for a while first, and wait until this trend has passed. People's memories will eventually fade. When everyone has almost forgotten, I will go to the street office to help you campaign. It's easy to get back a mere old man."

This was Lao Yi's main purpose for coming here, and when he saw that his goal had been achieved, he hurried to express his gratitude.

"Thank you very much, old lady. If you take action, Director Wang will have to obey you. I will go buy some meat tomorrow and ask Sha Zhu to make you a braised dish. It will be delicious when eaten with white flour buns."

The two chatted about family matters for a while. Seeing that the old lady was a little tired, Lao Yi found an excuse to say goodbye and leave.

When he returned home, Yi Zhonghai's expression changed immediately. He picked up the ceramic jar on the dining table and drank all the water in it. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he threw the jar to the ground.

"This damn old lady is so reluctant to do such a small thing. If she is willing to go to Secretary Wang, why would I need to go to the street office to study?

It seems that she has had it too easy these years. When cooking for her in the future, just use 10% white flour. She doesn’t deserve to eat such good food.”

An old lady saw Yi Zhonghai getting angry and asked him what had happened. When Yi Zhonghai repeated to her the conversation between him and the deaf old lady, she also became very angry.

You have to know that over the years, the couple have taken care of the deaf old lady more seriously than they took care of their own mother. Because of her old age, the deaf old lady always told Auntie that she couldn't eat cornmeal steamed bread. Auntie felt sorry for her and added half white flour to her bread, and used all the fine grain coupons that Lao Yi had every month, which the couple were reluctant to eat.

Now that the time has come for the old lady to help, the other party is still hiding it. How can this not make people feel disheartened?

"Old Yi, do we really have to serve the old lady like this? Otherwise, you can talk to the street office and tell them that we don't want to do this job anymore. Anyway, you are not the boss of the yard anymore, so why not take this opportunity to get rid of this burden, live a good life for a few days, and taste the taste of pure white flour buns."

Yi Zhonghai's anger had subsided a lot by now. He bent down to pick up the ceramic jar. Seeing that a large piece of paint had fallen off it, he felt a little sad. This was the reward given to him by the factory when he was awarded the title of individual advanced producer. It seemed that he had indeed lost his mind just now.

Seeing that the aunt said that she wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the old lady, the vampire, she hurriedly shook her head and said.

"What I said just now were just angry words. You don't have to take it too seriously. The old lady has an extraordinary background. We can't afford to offend her. I can suppress Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, and Xu Wude in the yard, but I still need her help. Forget it, just pretend that I didn't say anything just now. Just treat the old lady as usual.

I was the one who took the initiative to ask to take care of her when I went to the neighborhood office. Now that my position as the eldest uncle has just been removed, I will be ridiculed if I just leave it alone. Don't you know the people in this yard? They are all waiting to see the jokes of others, especially since I have indeed favored the Jia family over the years and offended many people. They are all waiting for our family to be robbed so that they can add insult to injury.

I will never give them this opportunity, so we must win over the old lady. Even if she has many faults, she will definitely not stand idly by when something really big happens, and this is enough for us to invest now."

Although Auntie didn't know the background of the old lady that Yi Zhonghai was talking about, she had been married for many years and had never seen Yi Zhonghai's plans go wrong. Seeing that Old Yi had already decided on the matter, she didn't say anything more and nodded in agreement.

Yan Bugui took Jie Cheng and the others back home. Seeing Jie Cheng and Jiefang brothers still discussing the conference, saying something like "Uncle Yi was defeated", he couldn't help but feel a headache. How come these kids are not like him at all? Can't they see that Uncle Yi and Director Wang can only be considered losers at best? There is no winner at all.

"Jiecheng, Jiefang, come here, I want to talk to you."

I called my two sons over. As for Jie Kuang and Jie Di, one is 6 years old and the other is 5 years old. What can they understand? Let them spend their childhood without worries.

Yan Bugui spoke only after Jie Cheng and Jiefang were seated.

"Did you understand anything from the meeting held by Director Wang today?"

Of the two brothers, Jie Cheng is the older, 19 this year, but he went to work odd jobs after graduating from high school. How could he understand these deeper meanings? As for Jiefang, he is only 14 years old and can understand nothing. He just feels very interesting to see the usually majestic Yi Zhonghai being humiliated.

When Yan Bugui saw the reactions of his two sons, he knew that they did not understand the question he asked at all, so he had to explain it patiently.

"Do you think that just because an old man was criticized and reprimanded by Director Wang today, or even punished, he is really in trouble?

Xie Cheng, I once taught you that you should not look at the surface of a problem. Today, although Yi Zhonghai seems to be unlucky, Director Wang is actually more unlucky. She originally wanted to bring Jia Zhang to justice through reporting, but she probably didn't expect Jia Zhang to be so difficult to deal with. Yi Zhonghai even pushed all the problems onto Jia Zhang, causing this conference to end up with a whimper.

Just wait and see. The contents of this meeting will spread all over Nanluoguxiang tomorrow. A street director cannot do anything to a shrew. If this reputation gets out, it will have an impact on Director Wang’s future career.”

Just as he was about to say something else, he heard the screams of Guangtian and Guangfu coming from the backyard. Yan Bugui immediately knew what was going on and could not help but look down on Liu Haizhong even more.

"Dad, it sounds like Guangtian and Guangfu's voices. Should we go over and take a look?"

"What are you looking at? I'm beating my son, can you still do anything about it? I guess Lao Liu is upset because Yi Zhonghai and the people in the courtyard gave him a hard time today, so he took it out on the child. Lao Liu keeps beating his child for no reason, and sooner or later he will suffer the consequences."

The sound that could be heard in the front yard could certainly be heard in the middle yard and the back yard as well, but Sha Zhu had already finished washing up and was ready to go to bed. Besides, he didn't have a good impression of Liu Haizhong, thinking that he always acted like a second uncle, so he pretended not to hear it. Jia Zhangshi and Yi Zhonghai had enough troubles with their own affairs, so of course they wouldn't meddle in other people's affairs.

As for the Xu family, Xu Wude hasn't moved out yet, so it's fine for him to take advantage of them. However, this would obviously offend people in the past, so he would definitely not do it. He has learned the art of self-preservation very well.

The deaf old lady was no longer deaf at this time. She pricked up her ears and listened for a while before speaking slowly.

“If the king is not upright, his ministers will defect to foreign countries; if the father is not kind, his son will flee to another country.

This fringe will surely suffer retribution someday."

The fact that the old lady could say such words showed that she was not an ordinary person, but she never thought that her words would come true in the near future.
