Siheyuan: I am reborn as a good person He Yuzhu

For a moment, thousands of thoughts surged in Yi Zhonghai's mind.

Although he had such doubts, he did not express them in any action.

He decided to let one person charge into battle first, while he himself would watch this "performance" and see how Su Yang would respond.

If Su Yang couldn't explain it, he would naturally remind Jia Zhangshi appropriately. But as for appealing to a higher level - that was unnecessary. Even the direction might not be right!

At this moment, Su Yang was speechless, wondering if this old lady had a mental problem?

He said lightly: "Jia Zhang, are you mentally healthy? Wasn't it his own fault that your son was beaten? Besides, I don't want to dirty my hands."

Jia Zhang was not to be outdone: "Humph! Su Yang, don't be so complacent. What evil could Dong Xu have done? Why don't you explain clearly why you ran back from the battlefield? If you don't explain clearly, our neighbors in the courtyard will not protect you and will definitely report it to the Military Control Commission."

"Then let's see who can protect you."

"Tell me quickly, how did you come back? Did you really become a deserter?"

Su Yang ignored the arrogant old lady and kicked Jia Dongxu right in the face.

Jia Dongxu was knocked out and fell heavily to the ground. His cheek immediately became red and swollen. He covered his injured cheek with his hands, shrank into the corner with a look of fear on his face, and dared not move. He did not dare to look Su Yang directly in the eye.

"Oh my God! How dare you hit my baby son!" Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment, then quickly rushed to her son's side, checking his wounds while crying and complaining loudly. "Old Yi, you usually manage the affairs of our yard, and now you are doing nothing!"

Even though the position of "manager" has not been officially appointed yet, the military control committee and the comrades in charge of each area have already started to handle daily trivial matters in some courtyards with better reputations, and prevent strangers from entering casually to ensure safety. Therefore, Jia Zhang's call was actually to take advantage of the situation to put pressure on Yi Zhonghai. Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai had two reactions:

First, he really wanted to know why Su Yang suddenly came back.

Second, seeing that Su Yang actually beat his apprentice in front of him, how could he let him go easily?

He immediately stood up and sternly rebuked: "Su Yang, how can you hurt someone in public at will! Regardless of whether what you said is true or a lie, this charge alone can make you be convicted of intentional injury by the Military Control Commission." Su Yang couldn't help but glance at Yi Zhonghai a few more times: Does this guy actually know the concept of intentional injury?

Yi Zhonghai continued, "Tell the truth about why you suddenly came back. If you can't explain it clearly, not only will the people in our courtyard not speak for you. Even if you go to the Military Control Commission, they will not protect you just because of a certain leader. The law is the will of the state."

He warned, "Don't let it ruin our entire yard."

Yi Zhonghai seemed to have made some progress. Apparently, these ignorant or unreasonable neighbors also began to make their comments:

"That's right. There must be something wrong with coming back suddenly."

"The war was at a critical moment, and we were fighting the enemy at the front. How could you suddenly come back?"

"It would be better to have someone inform the military control committee immediately. Otherwise, if they cause trouble, it will also implicate us."

"That's right. We are in a peaceful place here now. We shouldn't let one person ruin everything. It's better to find out the situation first, just in case." For a moment, the neighbors had different opinions.

Fortunately, He Daqing, Liu Haizhong, and Xu Wude were still clear-headed. Perhaps they truly trusted Su Yang.

He Daqing stood up and scolded: "Yi Zhonghai, what are you talking about? What qualifications do you have to question Su Yang?"

"Who is he? Who do you think you are? How dare you doubt him..."

Seeing He Daqing speak for Su Yang, Liu Haizhong and Xu Wude no longer stood by and watched. They looked at Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi together, "Yi Zhonghai, when did you become the manager of the courtyard?"

"Someone from the Military Control Commission came over and said they wanted to ask the old residents to help mediate the neighborhood disputes in the courtyard."

"But they approached Lao He first, and he declined because the factory kitchen was too busy. He also didn't specifically ask you to take charge. It was you who went to talk to the military control committee yourself."

"That's why I asked you to handle those trivial matters."

"Besides, managing such a small matter in the courtyard is already overstepping your authority. How can you have the right to interrogate the residents of the courtyard?"

"Do you have that qualification?"

Yi Zhonghai's face turned from red to black, and then to pale. He looked extremely embarrassed and felt ashamed by Xu Wude's questioning.

At this time, Liu Haizhong also said in an official tone: "Old Yi, first of all, you don't have any leadership position here; secondly, you don't have any public office either."

"The Military Control Commission only asked us to help mediate neighborhood conflicts, but they didn't really give us any official positions."

"I am a workshop leader after all, but I won't use the factory's methods to manage my neighbors here. We should all get along harmoniously."

"You drag all the residents into this if something goes wrong. Do you really think you are a civil servant assigned by the Military Control Commission?"

Hearing these three people's rebuttals, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but get angry. "What do you mean by this? Regardless of whether I should be in charge of it or not, as a resident of the Central Courtyard, can't I ask?"

"What if Su Yang is really a deserter and implicates all of us?"

Su Yang was too lazy to listen to Old Man Yi's nonsense, and sneered: "Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhangshi, remember what you just said, don't say that it was nonsense when you meet the comrades of the Military Control Commission."

"You are now suspected of falsely accusing a soldier. I'm going to find the comrades from the Military Control Commission to argue with them." He said as he prepared to get up and leave.

It is indeed convenient to have a car. "Stop!" Yi Zhonghai suddenly felt panic.

Mainly because he saw Su Yang so calm and confident, he began to waver in his heart. But he still wanted to argue: "Su Yang, don't be so unreasonable. If you want to call someone, I don't know how you will arrange it."

"Since this happened in the hospital, let's solve it in the hospital."

"You just need to explain why you suddenly came back. Everyone just wants an explanation."

"If there are no other problems, that would be great. You don't need to worry about being implicated. But if there really is a problem, I advise you to be honest."

Su Yang smiled and said, "You are not qualified to listen to what I have to say."

Yi Zhonghai immediately became angry when he heard this, especially when he saw Su Yang's disdainful attitude, he felt his blood boiling.

Jia Zhang, who was standing next to him, quickly responded, "Su Yang, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have the power. Deserters will be punished sooner or later! I don't believe there is no law in the world!"

Suddenly, a middle-aged woman's voice came over, "Where is the king's law you mentioned?"

Then several cadres from the Military Control Commission walked into the central courtyard, including Yan Bugui who followed behind.

At first, Old Yan returned home to unpack and check the packages, and did not notice what was happening in the middle courtyard. When he heard the quarrel, he planned to go out to check, and happened to meet Comrade Wang and others coming in.

"Teacher Yan, the car outside belongs to Su Yang, right?" Comrade Wang asked.

"Yes, Su Yang just came back and brought letters and packages to my Jiecheng family. I was just dealing with these things in the house, and I heard that there seemed to be a dispute in the middle courtyard, so I decided to come and take a look."

"Oh? Su Yang is indeed back from the battlefield?"

"He said he was transferred back by the central government and said he had some things to deal with." Old Yan replied.

Comrade Wang nodded: "That should be true. By the way, I would like to remind you that regarding Su Yang's matter, you should explain it to other people in the hospital and ask them not to ask too many questions."

Old Yan was stunned for a moment: "Comrade Wang, was Su Yang really transferred back from the Central Government?"

Comrade Wang waved his hand and said, "Don't think too much. I heard this news from other comrades. Su Yang came out of the Military Control Commission's headquarters yesterday, so I came to take a look."

Old Yan understood. Since he came from the Military Control Commission, it seems that Su Yang was indeed transferred back by the Central Government. There should be no problem with this. "I understand, Comrade Wang, I will remind the people in the hospital not to ask around."

Comrade Wang nodded: "Su Yang's identity is highly confidential." Old Yan asked curiously: "How high is it?"

Comrade Wang blurted out: "At least the same level as the top leaders of the Central Committee. Hey, why am I saying this? You must not spread it around."

"Hiss!" Old Yan took a deep breath. He didn't expect the confidentiality level to be so high. Then he carefully followed Comrade Wang and others towards the middle courtyard.

Coincidentally, they heard what Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang said.

"Comrade Wang, Su Yang is a deserter, you should arrest him immediately!" Jia Zhang thought she had found someone who could uphold justice, so she immediately accused him.

Comrade Wang immediately scolded: "Jia Zhang, shut up! Do you know what it is to slander a soldier, especially a soldier with meritorious service? This is punishable by **!"

Hearing the word "**", Jia Zhang immediately collapsed to the ground in fear. Jia Dongxu was also frightened. While holding his mother, he begged, "Comrade Wang, please don't hold my mother accountable. She just said a few random words and was ignorant. Please forgive her this time."

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was furious in his heart, but he tried to remain calm on the surface and said, "Comrade Wang, this problem is a bit serious. We just want to know Su Yang's situation so that everyone can feel more at ease."

"I really don't mean to slander the soldiers. After all, as a worker, there should be nothing wrong with me asking, right?" Yi Zhonghai continued.

Comrade Wang snorted coldly, "Comrade Yi Zhonghai, with so many eyes watching, who would dare to make up a rumor? It is not up to you to decide whether Comrade Su Yang is a deserter, and it cannot be based on speculation."

"Do you think our military system is a joke, that we allow deserters to go home and that we can help our comrades carry messages and things?"

Yi Zhonghai was speechless, regretting not considering this earlier. It turned out that he was so carried away by Lao He and Lao Liu's boasting that he forgot what the deaf grandmother often said: "Don't act rashly when the time is not right." At this moment, he had obviously forgotten this sentence for a long time.

"I……"
