He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Jia Zhang! If I really become a mediator, hehe, I will stand on the side of justice. Don't say that I am biased like some people!"

This made Yi Zhonghai unhappy. He stood up and said, "He Yuzhu, what do you mean? Don't say anything ambiguous. I am listening here too!"

Yan Bugui was also the first to speak: "He Yuzhu, can you please speak properly? You haven't even become a mediator yet, and you're already lecturing people?"

Deputy Director Li watched a few troublemakers in Siheyuan grumbling below, and also realized that it was indeed not appropriate for He Yuzhu to be the mediator of Siheyuan, because it seemed that He Yuzhu was still not very popular in Siheyuan, and there were elders like Yi Zhonghai who had opinions about him. If He Yuzhu really became a mediator, one can imagine that there would be chaos in Siheyuan.

After thinking about it, Deputy Director Li no longer mentioned asking He Yuzhu to be the mediator. He asked, "He Yuzhu, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

Deputy Director Li still hopes to hear He Yuzhu's opinion, and this favor of recommendation must be given to He Yuzhu today no matter what.

Looking at the people around him, He Yuzhu had an idea in his mind and replied, "Deputy Director Li, when it comes to the selection of the first mediator, I personally think Xu Damao's father Xu Fugui is fully qualified!"

When Yi Zhonghai heard that someone wanted to replace him as the boss of the Siheyuan, he immediately stood up and expressed his objection: "Xu Fugui is not suitable to be the mediator of our Siheyuan. He appears and disappears every day and rarely shows up in our Siheyuan!"

He Yuzhu actually recommended his father to be the mediator, which made Xu Damao very happy. He had already begun to imagine that his father had the status of the boss of this Siheyuan, and his family in the Siheyuan was very proud.

Yi Zhonghai's objection annoyed Xu Damao, who stood up and fought back: "Yi Zhonghai, stop making noises here! You actually said that my dad was like an invisible man who never showed up in the Siheyuan? That's because my dad is honest and never gets involved in disputes in the Siheyuan. Does that mean he can't be a mediator? Do you have to be like the three of you who interfere in other people's family affairs in the Siheyuan to be a mediator?"

Yi Zhonghai saw that Xu Damao, a young boy, dared to confront him, and was about to scold him, when Deputy Director Li interrupted and said, "Both of you sit down. He Yuzhu hasn't finished speaking yet. Why are you so anxious?"

He Yuzhu was like an audience watching a good show, and he was very satisfied. He continued, "As for the candidate for the second mediator, I think Uncle Liu from Siheyuan should be suitable."

This obviously made Liu Haizhong unhappy, and he immediately interrupted He Yuzhu and said, "He is the warehouse manager of the steel mill. How can he be the second mediator of our courtyard? It's too much!"

He Yuzhu's proposal was too embarrassing for Liu Haizhong, so he was naturally unhappy about it.

He Yuzhu was also annoyed by Liu Haizhong's attitude and replied, "I seriously suspect that you have capitalist tendencies in Liu Haizhong. Do you have any special requirements for the salary, work content, or status of the mediator in our courtyard? Besides, now you are just a cleaner cleaning the toilets in the steel mill. Can you say that you have a higher status than Uncle Liu?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd below applauded enthusiastically. They appreciated He Yuzhu's questioning and response to Liu Haizhong's image.

This made them feel extremely comfortable, because before this Liu Haizhong always relied on his status as a seventh-level technician in the steel rolling mill and his identity as the second uncle to bully them. This really made them feel relieved.

Liu Haizhong is now sweeping the toilets in a steel mill, how embarrassing!

Liu Haizhong was speechless after being confronted by He Yuzhu. He lowered his head and licked his wounds silently. He never dared to speak again in the whole hospital meeting.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong had already bowed his head and admitted defeat, He Yuzhu continued, "Then as for the third mediator, I think Uncle Ma, the husband of Aunt Liu in the front yard, is very suitable."

The reason why he recommended Uncle Ma was not out of any other motive, but to repay Aunt Liu for revealing to him today that Jia Zhang had made trouble at his doorstep.

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Aunt Liu was in high spirits. She held her husband Lao Ma's hand tightly, feeling very satisfied. She thought that no one in the courtyard would dare to bully them again in the future!

Master Liu also knew what was going on and knew that this was He Yuzhu's way of repaying her.

Using a piece of information in exchange for the position of Siheyuan mediator was really a bargain! She secretly gave He Yuzhu a thankful look.

At this moment, Deputy Group Leader Li remembered He Yuzhu's proposal for the mediator. He nodded slightly and motioned him to sit down. Then he said to the people in the courtyard: "Please raise your hands if you agree that Xu Fugui should be the first mediator."

Everyone's response was almost unanimous - except for Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and others, most of the residents raised their hands in agreement.

For ordinary court residents, as long as the mediator is not re-elected by Yi Zhonghai and others, they have no objection to whoever takes the position.

To be honest, the three people recommended by He Yuzhu are indeed easy-going neighbors. They rarely have friction or disputes with the people in the courtyard.

Choosing such a person as the mediator of their courtyard will at least be impartial and fair, which is much better than some people who are always partial to each other.

Seeing everyone agreeing with this, Deputy Director Li smiled and announced in the name of the Military Control Office: "If most of you in the courtyard have no objection to these three mediators... then now officially appoint Xu Fugui as the new first uncle of the courtyard, Lao Liu as the second uncle, and Lao Ma as the third uncle (Lao Liu is the uncle Liu that He Yuzhu calls him, and Lao Ma is the uncle Ma, the husband of Aunt Liu that He Yuzhu calls him). I hope the three new mediators will not let down the trust of all the villagers in the courtyard!"

Deputy Director Li then emphasized: "You must fulfill your duties as mediators, otherwise the military control office will not be lenient in punishing you!"

Xu Fugui and the other three below nodded excitedly. For them, being able to serve as mediators and to become the masters of the courtyard was a rare honor in life. He Yuzhu made an indelible contribution here. The three new masters secretly remembered this favor of He Yuzhu.

But when some are happy, others are sad. Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui felt extremely distressed because of losing their positions as mediators, as if they had lost their loved ones.

Deputy Director Li briefly explained to all residents of the hospital about the promotion of public-private partnership and then went back. Today's hospital meeting came to an end at this time.
