Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

After the door was broken open, Yi Zhonghai and others rushed in in a hurry. Since there was no light in the house, it was pitch black. Yi Zhonghai moved forward in the dark, tripped by something and fell to the ground. The people behind him had no time to stop and stepped on his back.

"Ouch! Be gentle, you are stepping on me!" Yi Zhonghai cried out in pain.

No one knew who the person on his back was, but when he heard Yi Zhonghai cry out in pain, he quickly moved away and hid in the crowd without saying a word.

"Lao Yi, how are you? Are you okay?" an old lady asked anxiously.

She hurried forward to help Yi Zhonghai up. Yi Zhonghai held his waist in pain. The panic just now almost made him pass out.

"Fortunately, I'm fine. Let's go and see how the old lady is doing." Yi Zhonghai endured the severe pain in his back and urged everyone to go and check on the deaf old lady.

"Okay." The aunt responded.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai widened his eyes, and with the faint moonlight, he finally saw clearly that what tripped him was actually a large gong.

"Strange, why is there this here?" Yi Zhonghai was full of doubts and couldn't help but think that the sound just now might have been made by the old lady.

Not only Yi Zhonghai, but others also noticed the gong, but they all knew that Yi Zhonghai had a high prestige, so no one dared to question it easily.

Afterwards, everyone came to the deaf old lady's bed and found her lying on the bed with her hands covering her ears, her eyes closed, and her breathing rapid.

"Oh no, the old lady's condition is not good!" said an aunt worriedly.

Yi Zhonghai nodded solemnly: "It seems that we have to send her to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible."

So they carefully lifted the deaf old lady onto a stretcher and sent her to the hospital's emergency room.

After the doctor's emergency treatment and diagnosis, the deaf old lady's condition was under control and gradually stabilized. However, she still needs to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time.

"The doctor said that the old lady was suddenly frightened and suffered cardiac arrest and difficulty breathing. There is also a more serious problem. Because of the loud noise, her eardrum hearing was greatly affected. I'm afraid that in the future..." Yi Zhonghai couldn't bear to continue, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the deaf old lady was really deaf this time.

"How could this happen?" The old lady turned pale, took a deep breath, and shook her head in disbelief, as if she was unwilling to accept the fact before her.

"Don't worry about it now. We have an urgent matter to deal with. When I sent the old lady to the hospital last night, she kept shouting all the way. You should have heard it. If this matter gets out, I'm afraid the street office will send someone to investigate the situation. So, I have to go home as soon as possible to shut everyone up and prevent the news from leaking out." Yi Zhonghai said anxiously, and then he left the hospital quickly. He was walking on the road and talking to an old lady about what happened on the road last night.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly summoned Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui to his home. The three of them sat together, frowning and looking solemn. It turned out that the "third uncle" in this courtyard should have been He Daqing, but because of Sha Zhu's matter and he himself had no time to deal with these trivial matters, he returned the position of "third uncle" to Yan Bugui.

The three of them discussed for a long time in the Yi family's house and finally came up with a solution. That night, the whole courtyard held an emergency meeting to warn all residents not to mention the deaf old lady again, especially her nonsense and feudal superstitions.

Yi Zhonghai sat in the middle with a serious expression and said in a solemn tone: "Dear neighbors, you must understand that if this matter gets out, the consequences will be disastrous! Not only will the street office revoke our title of excellent courtyard, but we will also lose the reward given to us by the street office at the end of the year. Everyone has worked hard for a whole year. It would be a pity if we lost this recognition because of something like this! In addition, if people from other courtyards knew about it, they would definitely laugh at us. In the future, our children will also be subject to gossip when they go on blind dates." He spoke sincerely, hoping to resonate with the residents.

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, expressing their understanding and support. They knew that what Yi Zhonghai said was true, and if they were not careful, it would probably bring them a lot of trouble. As a result, the atmosphere in the entire courtyard became tense and serious. Everyone secretly vowed to keep the secret and not let the outside world know about the deaf old lady, especially Yan Bugui, who was worried about losing the reward and affecting his son's marriage; Liu Haizhong was worried that his official career would be affected.

On the third day, the deaf old lady was discharged from the hospital. She was in worse spirits than before, and was confused and often lost things in her speech. She kept muttering about Sha Zhu, wanting to see Sha Zhu and eat the braised pork made by Sha Zhu. However, when the aunt explained to her that Sha Zhu was now locked up and could not come out, the deaf old lady could not hear a word, leaving Yi Zhonghai and the aunt helpless.

After returning to her room to rest, the deaf old lady started to act up again, saying from time to time that there were mice and immortal rat spirits in her house. She often chanted scriptures and burned incense during the day, knelt down at night, and even kept talking nonsense all night long, which made it difficult for people in the front yard to accept. Some people were scared and thought that the deaf old lady was really scared. What was even more troublesome was that the matter could not be covered up. The staff of the street office began to come to the door to inquire. At first, the people in the yard greeted each other and helped to conceal it. However, the deaf old lady made too many noises and made too many troubles, and they couldn't stand it. In addition, someone with ulterior motives in the yard secretly went to report it.

That afternoon, Director Wang came to the yard with a group of people. Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, the three managers, were chatting in the yard. When they saw Director Wang coming, they hurried to greet him, but Director Wang waved his hand and signaled them to follow him. Afterwards, Director Wang went to the deaf old lady's house and took her away with him.

At night, the news finally came. It turned out that because there were so many people involved in the courtyard, everyone chose to conceal it collectively. Moreover, the matter between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao made Director Wang very angry. She couldn't help but think of this courtyard that was once rated as excellent, but now it has become so chaotic. She was very disappointed with what these people did and decided to clean it up.

Therefore, the three managers were arranged to attend a one-month rectification and education course. The other residents were required to study together in the yard every night, reflect on their mistakes, and put an end to feudal superstition. In addition, they had to make a profound review of their previous deceptions.

In short, the thing they least wanted to see finally happened. Now, they can only accept the reality, work hard to correct their mistakes, and restore the harmonious atmosphere of the courtyard.
