Chapter 10: The Deaf Old Lady's Connections
"You idiot, you want to blackmail me again? Do you want me to bring people from the Military Control Commission over here?" The deaf old lady pushed the crowd aside and walked over.

Er Laizi was not convinced when he saw such an old lady stand up: "Who are you? You are meddling in other people's business."

"Don't worry about who I am. I saw what happened just now clearly. This comrade bumped into your wife accidentally. It was not intentional at all. You just wanted to blackmail him because he is from another place. I tell you, I, an old lady, will take care of this matter."

The deaf old lady is old and looks kind, so she is easily trusted by others.

Everyone was silent just now because they didn't know the real situation. Now that we know the truth, how can we just sit there and watch?

Faced with everyone's condemnation, Erlaizi did not dare to resist and left with his wife.

The man thanked the other people who helped, and finally walked up to the deaf old lady and said sincerely: "Auntie, thank you for what you did today. If it weren't for you, I would definitely be punished."

The deaf old lady smiled and said, "Little comrade, it's okay. I believe in your character. I live at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. If anyone mentions what happened today, you can come to me and I will testify for you."

The young man carefully wrote down the address of the deaf old lady and said with a smile: "Auntie, my name is Yang Peishan, and I work in the Ministry of Metallurgy. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. As long as it does not violate the principles, I will never refuse."

The deaf old lady took note of the young man's identity very seriously. This is a central unit, even if he is just a gatekeeper, he is not someone that outsiders can offend. Who knows, this relationship may be used someday.

If this young man becomes a leader in the future, she will make a lot of money from this favor.

Having received a great favor, the deaf old lady was in a very good mood and smiled all the way to the Military Control Commission.

Others were afraid of coming into contact with the military control committee, but she was not afraid at all. She was an old woman living alone, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

On the contrary, there are many benefits to contacting the Military Control Commission. If it weren't for the support of the Military Control Commission, how could an old woman like him occupy the best house in the backyard of the courtyard?

"Old lady, you are out for a walk again."

The people in the Military Control Commission were very familiar with her and greeted her warmly when they saw her.

The deaf old lady smiled and said, "Girl, what have you been busy with recently? I was just bored at home, so I came out for a walk."

"By the way, old lady, the government is planning to build a nursing home soon. Would you like to apply for one? When the nursing home is built, many uncles and aunts like you will live there. You won't feel lonely if you are with them."

The deaf old lady was horrified when she heard this. How could she show off her status when she lived with a bunch of old men and women? No matter how good the conditions in the nursing home were, they were not as comfortable as living outside.

By then, everyone will be about the same age and it will be up to us to decide who will be the one.

"No, I won't live in a nursing home even if you kill me. But how can I tell the Military Control Commission?"

The deaf old lady's good mood disappeared in an instant, and she kept thinking about how to avoid going to a nursing home.

All her connections now are with the Military Control Commission, so it’s no use looking for others.

"My daughter, I don't need it anymore. Leave the opportunity to someone else! You don't know, the neighbors in our yard are very nice. They take good care of me and treat me as an elder in the family. They also said they would support me in my old age. I can't bear to leave them either."

The man was surprised and said, "The neighbors in your yard are so nice. How are their conditions?"

In order to stay in the courtyard, the deaf old lady endured the nausea and praised the people in the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were the master chefs of the steel factory and earned a lot; He Daqing was the cook in the courtyard and his cooking skills were especially delicious...

The military control committee members were relieved when they heard this: "Since they are so filial, you can live in the courtyard for now. The government has too many things to do now, and we can't take good care of you old people."

After hearing these words, the deaf old lady breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought to herself that she must decide on the right person to take care of her in her old age as soon as possible, otherwise she would not be able to justify herself.

While they were still chatting, a young man in military uniform came to them and said that they had found a base left by the bald man. The Public Security Bureau had surrounded the place and needed people from the Military Control Commission to evacuate the surrounding crowd. This was a big deal and no one dared to neglect it. Except for the necessary people who stayed behind, everyone else rushed to the scene.

The deaf old lady had no intention of watching the fun. The bullet would not miss her target. It would be too unfair if it hit her head.

She didn't leave either, planning to wait until the matter was resolved before leaving.

The people from the Military Control Commission didn't pay any attention to her. They just poured her a glass of water and talked to her on the side.

"The bald people are really too rampant. We can't catch them all even if we catch so many."

"Who says it isn't? We have so many things to do at work now. We are so busy all day long, and we have to deal with their affairs. It would be great if we could catch them all in one fell swoop."

"How is that possible? They usually hide in the dark, just like ordinary people. When they are not taking action, who knows whether they are human or ghost. It is difficult to catch them all in one fell swoop."

"By the way, I heard that the higher-ups are considering using the power of the masses to arrest them. With the help of the masses, they will definitely suffer a lot."

"I've heard about that, too. They say we're going to select some enthusiastic people based on where they live to be our liaisons. They're locals, and they're very familiar with the people around them. If anyone shows any abnormality, they'll definitely be able to see through it.

With their help, the rats will have nowhere to escape."

The deaf old lady pricked up her ears and carefully remembered what those people said. The position of this liaison officer was very important. It couldn't be allowed to be easily obtained by people in the hospital.

If a disobedient person gets a liaison officer and is responsible for contacting the Military Control Commission in the future, the weight of her words will be greatly reduced.

Will anyone pay attention to an old lady whose words carry no weight?
No.

No one more awesome than me is allowed to appear in the courtyard.

The deaf old lady was thinking quickly, thinking about how to solve the problem. Among the people in the courtyard, He Daqing was a bastard, Xu Fugui had no conscience, Liu Haizhong was ruthless, Yan Bugui was calculating, and Yi Zhonghai was too hypocritical.

None of these people are suitable to be liaison officers.

But the liaison must surely choose among them.

So who is the most suitable?

Let the deaf old lady say that none of them are suitable. Those people are not content.

The deaf old lady thought for a while and could only think of this method of checks and balances: "My daughter, let me ask you, if we were to choose a liaison officer, how would we choose?"

"Old lady, this has not been decided yet. However, they will definitely not select too many. If they select one per family, we will not be able to manage it. It is estimated that dozens of families will select one or two. This matter has not been decided yet, so please don't tell anyone."

The deaf old lady frowned. There were only seven households in the courtyard, so it was impossible to choose too many. It would be good enough to be able to choose one.

How can she provide checks and balances with just one person? She must find a way to get more people.

The deaf old lady returned to the courtyard from the Military Control Commission, but she had not thought of a good solution. Suddenly, she heard someone say, "The location of our courtyard is too inconvenient. The entrance to the alley in front of the door is too small."

"It's good enough to have a place to live, but you're still picky." said another person.

The deaf old lady saw that the person who was talking was the neighbor next door to the courtyard. After thinking carefully, she understood what the two were talking about. An immature idea came into her mind.
