Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

If Xu Daqing could be controlled, he would not have mentioned this matter. However, today's meeting did not achieve the expected purpose.

At this moment, even if Yi Zhonghai wanted Liu Xiao'e to take care of Qin Huairu, he would never dare to say it out loud. If he really said it, his reputation in the courtyard would completely fall to the bottom.

"Liu Xiao'e, I'm not talking about Qin Huairu. I'm referring to the deaf old lady. She's an elder in the courtyard and she's always caring for you. Isn't it natural for you to take care of her?"

As soon as Liu Xiao'e mentioned Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu knew that her request was doomed to fail, and the loss in her heart hit her like a tide. However, Sha Zhu standing aside was very happy. Letting Liu Xiao'e take care of Qin Huairu undoubtedly created an opportunity for Xu Damao to get close to Qin Huairu, and Qin Huairu was the irreplaceable goddess in his heart. How could Xu Damao take advantage of this opportunity?

The deaf old lady raised a smile. As long as Liu Xiao'e agreed to take care of her in front of everyone, she would have more bargaining chips to fight for her interests, and she and Sha Zhu would have more time alone. Liu Xiao'e noticed the deaf old lady's smile and secretly guessed that she might have some plans, but she did not reveal any flaws on the surface. No matter what the deaf old lady's character was, she could not easily break with her before there was solid evidence to reveal her true face.

"It is my duty to take care of the deaf old lady, but this does not prevent me from helping other people in the street office. You promised to take care of the deaf old lady, and I can't take over your job. Uncle, if you find it inconvenient, I can explain it to the street office and ensure that the old lady is properly taken care of."

Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady's faces suddenly changed, and they dared not mention the topic of taking care of the deaf old lady. If the matter was reported to the street office, if the street office determined that he was unwilling to continue to take care of the deaf old lady and sent the old lady to another place, his moral standard would collapse, and Sha Zhu would lose the motivation to obey him.

What's worse is that once the old lady has a grudge, it will bring him more trouble. The deaf old lady not only resents Liu Xiao'e, but also feels dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai. Even if she is not sent away this time, if people in the courtyard follow suit in the future, her future life will not be easy. Sha Zhu's money was given to Qin Huairu, and Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to pay a penny more. The monthly subsidy from the street office is not enough to support her livelihood. Every month, she can only rely on eating and drinking in the courtyard to get by.

What worries her even more is that if everyone reports her situation to the higher authorities, her authority here will be gone. Yi Zhonghai naturally no longer values ​​the old lady who has lost her value, and even competing for food has become a luxury.

Hearing Liu Xiao'e's words, Sha Zhu immediately said in dissatisfaction: "Liu Xiao'e, have you forgotten the old lady's care for you? Old lady, I have said long ago that Liu Xiao'e and Xu Damao are ungrateful people. Don't count on them at all. The eldest uncle is the most respectable person in the courtyard. He also promised to recognize you as his godmother. He will take care of you until you are old."

When the deaf old lady heard what Sha Zhu said, she was secretly happy. She understood that this was an opportunity to trap Yi Zhonghai so that he could not escape the responsibility of taking care of her. She then looked at Sha Zhu with a smile and asked, "Sha Zhu, don't just praise the old man, what about yourself? Will you respect me?"

Sha Zhu patted his chest and answered firmly: "I will, old lady, you are like my own grandmother, I will definitely take good care of you."

The deaf old lady looked at Sha Zhu with satisfaction, and at the same time put pressure on the people in the yard. She had Sha Zhu as a staunch ally, so everyone had to continue to respect her.

Yi Zhonghai's face was livid, and he was obviously in a bad mood. He had no objection to taking care of the deaf old lady, but he did not want to be forced to take on this responsibility. As for that silly Zhu, he was really a fool, he did not know any rules, and he always took the blame for him.

Yi Zhonghai felt uneasy at the chaotic situation. He was worried that Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe would bring the problem to the street office. He turned away angrily without saying a word of farewell to show his resentment.

Seeing Lao Yi leave, Liu Haizhong stood up with a smile and announced the disbanding of the meeting: "Okay, Lao Yi is gone, let's disperse too. Everyone has to go to work tomorrow, go home and rest early."

He was very proud. How could he not be happy when Yi Zhonghai lost so much face? He was relieved that he even lost to Lou Xiaoe in the topic of the deaf old lady.

Despite this, Liu Haizhong still did not forget to write a letter of denunciation when he returned home. Yi Zhonghai's fall from grace undoubtedly raised his status in the courtyard. However, these people who embarrassed Yi Zhonghai also became stumbling blocks that prevented him from controlling the courtyard. Wang Kun, the head of the security department, was highly regarded by the leaders and was difficult to deal with; but Lou Xiaoe was much easier, as her background itself was her biggest weakness.

In his excitement, he could not write for a long time, and finally he could only calm down by teaching his sons a lesson. He picked up the feather duster at home and beat Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu who were sleeping soundly, and then he felt relieved.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were puzzled. They had done nothing wrong, so why were they beaten? They couldn't sleep because of the pain. When they saw their father sitting at the table writing something, they finally remembered the letter of denunciation. The two brothers laughed secretly, but they felt a little uneasy.

The atmosphere in Yi Zhonghai's home was extremely depressing. An old lady stood aside cautiously, almost invisible. Suddenly, a bowl broke on the ground, and the deaf old lady sighed and said:

"Zhong Hai, don't be angry. You shouldn't have mentioned Xiao'e today."

Yi Zhonghai responded with a gloomy expression:

"Old lady, Lou Xiao'e can help outsiders, why can't she help people in our courtyard? I didn't expect her to be so unfilial. I am the elder in the courtyard, and she dared to question me. Old lady, how can someone like Lou Xiao'e be worthy of taking care of me, let alone marrying Sha Zhu."

The deaf old lady squinted at Yi Zhonghai. She was also dissatisfied with Lou Xiaoe's performance and thought she had learned bad things. But after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, she began to doubt his motives. This meeting was originally intended to deal with the conflict between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao. After all, they are husband and wife. When Xu Damao was bullied, Lou Xiaoe could not have stood idly by. In this context, did Yi Zhonghai deliberately mention taking care of families in difficulty just to support her?

The deaf old lady didn't think so. She knew that Yi Zhonghai's intention was far more than that. He didn't have a child in his heart and lacked a sense of security, so he wanted to control everything. Yi Zhonghai would never easily put a threat around him. So, she gradually let go of her resentment towards Lou Xiao'e in doubt and began to think that marrying Sha Zhu was not bad. After all, Lou Xiao'e could control Sha Zhu and prevent his family assets from being taken away by Qin Huairu.

The deaf old lady decided to find an opportunity to persuade Lou Xiao'e, but she didn't know that Yi Zhonghai already had a plan.

The next morning, Lou Xiao'e's reputation had risen rapidly, and many people greeted her respectfully. She had always been known as Xu Damao's wife, who often quarreled with him, could not have children, ignored trivial matters, and had a good relationship with the deaf old lady. Now that she was suddenly valued by everyone, she was a little uncomfortable.

Qin Huairu is better than her in this respect, with extensive connections, especially among men. However, Lou Xiaoe has always kept a low profile, and few people are close to her.

That morning, she ignored Xu Damao's slow pace and went straight out of the backyard, intending to go to Wang Kun's house. Unexpectedly, Liu Guangtian followed her quietly and stopped her in the front yard.

"Sister-in-law, I have something to tell you."

Lou Xiao'e looked at him suspiciously. Liu Haizhong's two children usually stayed close to Xu Damao, so if there was anything, they should go to Xu Damao. Although the two families lived close to each other, Lou Xiao'e didn't know much about Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

"Guangtian, Damao is at home, why don't you go to him?"

Liu Guangtian looked around and said in a low voice, "This matter has nothing to do with Brother Damao. Let's find a place where no one is around to talk about it."

Lou Xiao'e nodded in agreement: "Let's go to Wang Kun's house."

Arriving at Wang Kun's house, Lou Xiao'e said, "Wang Kun, Xu Damao doesn't have to go to work today and doesn't want to get up. I've left the meal for him and I'll bring it to him later.

"A crane standing out from the crowd will always attract wind and rain."

In this old courtyard, everyone has to keep a low profile and will be collectively excluded if they stand out. Last night, Zheng Zhongshan added a drama at the last minute to weaken Li Xiaoya's influence. If he hadn't chosen the wrong person to work with, Li Xiaoya might have fallen into his trap long ago.

Although Zhang Huairu's family was wealthy, she was still resented in the courtyard. In comparison, Old Lady Li was still okay, but Zheng Zhongshan had already made it clear that he would take care of her, so why should it be someone else's turn?

Zheng Zhongshan's plot failed, and Xu Haiyang quickly took over the baton. However, to Wang Gen's surprise, Xu Haiyang actually brought the matter of the quadrangle to the street office. This was undoubtedly a last resort - the street office deprived Xu Haiyang of his status as a manager, and his future was hopeless, so what else was there to worry about?

Li Xiaoya was puzzled. She was just using her spare time to help others and never asked for anything in return. Why did she attract such hatred?

"Forget it, let him report if he wants! I'm not afraid of him. But the people in the courtyard are so scheming that it's unexpected. Even Uncle Li, who is always kind and gentle, has taken action himself." Wang Gen thought to himself that Zheng Zhongshan was short of people around him, so he had to do it himself, otherwise the courtyard would collapse.

After residents learned to call the police, it was difficult for the foolish strong man to resort to violent means. Qin Huairu has become notorious for her donations, and if she shows up again, it will only arouse greater hostility. As for Mrs. Li, even if she takes action, it may not be effective. People's respect for her comes from her rumored identity as a martyr's relative. This rumor has been exposed, so who cares anymore?

In any case, we can't really let Mrs. Li smash other people's windows, right? How could a woman in her seventies be so bold?

All his tricks were ineffective, so Xu Haiyang had no choice but to act personally, but he also overestimated his influence. Without the protection of Mrs. Li, the fists and feet of the stupid strong man, and the aura of the eighth-level worker, his power was no longer as strong as before.
