Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

It was almost half past seven, and everyone in the courtyard finished their dinner and walked slowly towards the central courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai had already arranged the tables and chairs neatly in advance, and Director Wang also arrived at the scene on time.

However, this time, the people sitting around the octagonal table were no longer three old men, but Director Wang, the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai scanned the crowd twice, but still did not see Sha Zhu and Zhou Jin.

At this time, most people had gathered here, and Sha Zhu's home was right in front of them. Yi Zhonghai knew that Sha Zhu had not returned yet.

So he instructed Yan Jie to go to the backyard to see if Zhou Jin had returned.

When Yi Zhonghai saw that everyone was basically present, he loudly announced the official start of the meeting.

He said, "Please keep quiet and listen to me. Today's meeting is hosted by Director Wang. Now, please let Director Wang speak!"

Director Wang: "Hello everyone, let me make it short. There are two main reasons why I came here today. One is that Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady's homes were robbed today, especially Yi Zhonghai's home, which was directly emptied.

This is the most serious theft incident that has happened in our street in recent years. I would like to remind everyone to close doors and windows and put valuables away. Yan Bugui, you should also keep the door closed at all times."

Yan Bugui: "Okay, Director Wang."

Director Wang: "Originally, Yi Zhonghai was responsible for helping the Wang and Jia families in need, but now Yi Zhonghai himself can't make a living, so I came here today to announce that Yi Zhonghai will no longer need to help the Jia and Wang families. As for the Wang family, I will find Zhou Jin later to see if he can help."

When the Wang family heard that Yi Zhonghai would no longer help their family, they instinctively felt that something bad had happened, but they could also understand it. After all, Yi Zhonghai had all his money stolen and was no longer able to help them.

But later I heard Director Wang say that he would talk to Zhou Jin. If Zhou Jin was willing to help my family, that would definitely be better, so I still had some expectations.

But Jia Dongxu and the others were not happy. They were already feeling upset when they heard Director Wang say that Yi Zhonghai no longer needed to help their family. Then Director Wang said that he would ask Zhou Jin to help the Wang family.

But he didn't mention himself, which clearly meant that he didn't want to take care of his own family. How could that be possible? The Jia family must also have what others have. So Jia Dongxu immediately stood up.

"Director Wang, what do you mean by this? Why can you, the Wang family, ask Zhou Jin for help but ignore our Jia family? You are too biased. Did the Wang family give you any benefits?" Jia Dongxu said, staring at Director Wang angrily.

Jia Dongxu was so angry that he lost his mind for a moment. Under normal circumstances, he would not dare to speak loudly in front of Director Wang.

But now his words directly angered Director Wang, and his tone immediately became serious.

"Jia Dongxu, stop being so unreasonable. As for why you didn't consider your Jia family, don't you know? Is your Jia family really in trouble? Everyone in the courtyard knows about your family background.

Moreover, the reason why I asked Yi Zhonghai to help your family before was to punish Yi Zhonghai, not because I really felt that your family was in difficulty.

Besides, you have no evidence and you just open your mouth to slander state officials. You will report to the street office starting tomorrow and receive ideological education for half a month, and then clean the streets for a month. "

Jia Dongxu was really confused this time. In fact, he had already regretted it after he said that, but there is no regret medicine in the world. Once the words are said, they can never be taken back.

But Jia Dongxu didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It was just a few complaints, so there shouldn't be any problem.

But Jia Dongxu had no idea that Jia Zhang had already ruined the Jia family's reputation.

Director Wang naturally would not give Jia Dongxu any face. Since he even dared to frame him in person, he must be severely punished.

Although Yi Zhonghai had long known that as long as he announced that he would no longer help the Jia family, Jia Dongxu and others would definitely cause trouble, he did not expect that his silly disciple would be so brave and frame him in front of Director Wang. This was like looking for a lantern in the toilet.

When Jia Dongxu was about to defend himself, Yi Zhonghai spoke up.

"Director Wang, Dongxu is just a hot-tempered kid. Sometimes he can't control himself. He just saw that my family couldn't help him anymore and he was worried about his wife and children, so he spoke without restraint. Just let him go this time, and I promise he won't do it again."

The reason why Yi Zhonghai spoke for Jia Dongxu was, first, because Jia Dongxu's performance in the morning was quite good. He did not add insult to injury, but instead showed filial piety to him, and was worthy of cultivation.

The second is that Jia Dongxu really caused this trouble because I stopped helping his family. If I could help him avoid punishment, Jia Dongxu would definitely be more grateful to me.

The third is that Yi Zhonghai has enough confidence, and Director Wang will definitely give him this face.

Just when Yi Zhongyang was feeling smug, Director Wang spoke.

"Yi Zhonghai, I know Jia Dongxu is your apprentice. If you can't bear to see him punished, and you want me to let him go, then you can complete his punishment. What do you think?"

Yi Zhonghai was completely stunned at this time. He never expected that Director Wang would say that.

After all, in Yi Zhonghai's eyes, this matter was a very small matter and there was no need to punish so severely. He thought Director Wang just wanted to save face, but he didn't expect that Director Wang just wanted to deal with the Jia family.

"Oh, oh, Director Wang, it's just a small matter, is it really necessary to make such a big fuss?"

Yi Zhonghai still wanted to fight for it. After all, if he really made the choice, one of him and Jia Dongxu would have to offend. But with Yi Zhonghai's character, how could he possibly take the punishment on behalf of Jia Dongxu?

But doing so would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among Jia Dongxu and might also affect his own retirement business.

"Yi Zhonghai, in your eyes, accusing a state official is a trivial matter? Is this how you act as a boss? And the reason why Jia Dongxu is so excited is because you don't want to continue to help the Jia family.

Now you jump out and pretend to be a good person, don't be too greedy, some things are not yours, no matter how many schemes and tricks you have, they are ultimately just flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. "

Director Wang's words made Yi Zhonghai lose face. He was very embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

At this time, the deaf old lady knew it was her turn to come on stage. Otherwise, not only would Yi Zhonghai lose face, but her own donation conference might also be ruined.

"Okay, Zhonghai, I asked you to read more newspapers and learn about national policies, but you didn't listen and only focused on studying your benchwork skills. Jia Dongxu made a mistake and should be punished. Let's not talk about this anymore."

Yi Zhonghai knew that the deaf old lady was there to help him out, so he nodded quickly.

"Ma'am, I know I was wrong.

Director Wang, I'm sorry, I usually neglected policy learning. Don't worry, I will strengthen my study in this area in the future."

Director Wang just nodded, indicating that he accepted Yi Zhonghai's apology.

Only Jia Dongxu felt like he was abandoned by the whole world. Not only did his family lose Yi Zhonghai's support, but he was also punished by the street office.

Seeing that the problem was solved, the deaf old lady hurriedly continued.

"Xiao Wang, now that Zhonghai's problem has been solved, let's move on."

Director Wang didn't want to waste time here, so he quickly talked about what happened next.

"Okay, the second thing to do at this meeting is that the Street Office, in response to the request of Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady, hopes to organize a donation meeting for them in the courtyard.

The subdistrict office approved it after taking into account the actual situations of the two families, so my visit this time is to oversee the convening of this donation conference. Of course, the donation conference is entirely voluntary.

Okay, now let Yi Zhonghai talk to the deaf old lady separately."

The deaf old lady: "Originally I didn't want to show up in public like this, but there is no other way. The money and food in my house have been stolen. I want to survive, so I can only rely on everyone's help."

Yi Zhonghai: "Everyone should know me, Yi Zhonghai. Whenever anyone in the hospital has a problem, I have helped them. Besides, I am also a very polite person. If I really couldn't survive, how could I ask you to help donate money so that our family can get through the difficult times? In the future, I will definitely serve you more wholeheartedly."

Yi Zhonghai thought that his speech was perfect and everyone would definitely donate enthusiastically. However, as soon as he finished speaking, voices of opposition were heard from the crowd.

"Haha, uncle, what you said is really nice. You have helped every family in need, but I only remember you helping the Jia family.

Old man Liu in the front yard made a living by picking up garbage. One time, his granddaughter fell ill and they had no other choice but to find your uncle. Do you remember what you said?

You said that she was a girl and would get married when she grew up, so there was no need to waste money. Then you just kicked her out. In the end, Zhou Jin gave Mr. Liu ten dollars.

Grandma Zhao in the backyard came to you to borrow some food because she was out of food at home, but you said that you had no food at home either and asked Grandma Zhao to go find someone else.

I will not give examples of other cases one by one, but as for the Jia family, whenever there was something happening at home, you asked everyone to donate money to them. If Zhou Jin had not told us the true situation of the Jia family later, we don't know how long we would have been deceived by you.

Although I don't know how you recovered, I think you don't deserve it. You are too selfish. "

As soon as these words were spoken, Yi Zhonghai's face turned black. He didn't expect that someone would dare to ruin his career in front of so many people. He was getting furious.

If Director Wang hadn’t been there, Yi Zhonghai would probably have been in trouble.

Yi Zhonghai was now frantically scanning the crowd, trying to find this person so that he could deal with him privately, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't find the person who was talking.

Of course he couldn't find the person. Long Yi disguised himself as a minor character in the courtyard and spoke with ventriloquism without opening his mouth, so he definitely didn't know who was speaking.

While Yi Zhonghai was still looking for someone fiercely, Director Wang couldn't sit still after hearing this. She had always been resentful of Yi Zhonghai's restoration as an uncle.

But there was nothing she could do. A higher-ranking official could crush someone so she had to obey the order. As a result, this incident happened today, and Director Wang's impression of Yi Zhonghai became even worse.

At this time, the deaf old lady saw the change in Director Wang's expression and knew that Yi Zhonghai was in trouble, so she quickly stepped forward and spoke.

"Everyone, please be quiet. I know that Zhong Hai did do some wrong things before, but as the eldest uncle of our courtyard, he has also done a lot of practical things for everyone. Even if he has no merits, he has worked hard..."

Just as the deaf old lady was defending Yi Zhonghai, Long Yi spoke again.

"Then tell me what Yi Zhonghai has done for us. I remember that he has helped the Jia family and Sha Zhu, but not other families."

The deaf old lady didn't expect that she would be refuted before she even finished speaking.

"Ah, what did you say? I can't hear you. I'm old and my hearing isn't working well."

It’s all Yi Zhonghai’s fault that he only cares about the Jia family and is unwilling to care about other people. Now, there is no way to wash it at all. Everyone has lived in the same courtyard for so long, and everyone knows each other.

If she tried to clear Yi Zhonghai by force, it was not certain whether she could do so, but she might get herself into trouble. So the deaf old lady chose to protect herself and pretend to be deaf to avoid disaster.

"Oh, my hearing is sometimes good and sometimes bad. I won't disturb your meeting here. I'll go home."

After the deaf old lady finished speaking, she went home on her crutches.

Yi Zhonghai was dumbfounded. He was already at a loss, and when he saw the old lady come out to speak for him, he felt that things had finally turned around. However, he was happy for less than a minute when the old lady ran away because of a single word.

What should I do now? The development of the plot is completely different from what I expected. It shouldn't be Director Wang who is in charge of the overall situation. If I continue to play the victim, everyone will surely donate enthusiastically.

But now someone suddenly came out to oppose me and made the deaf old lady flee in panic. Which step did I overlook in the process?
