Siheyuan, my new life

Yi Zhonghai quickly said, "Old lady, don't be angry. Listen to me. Since He Daqing has a way to get a regular worker, you can ask him to get another one. When the time comes, give it out in your name. In this way, everyone in the courtyard will worship you as their ancestor in the future."

The deaf old lady sneered and said, "What else can you do besides these crooked ways, Yi Zhonghai? Do you know who Deputy Director Li gave Zhuzi the position of a regular employee? You are so bold that you dare to set your sights on others. Do you know that one word from him can send you to hell?"

Yi Zhonghai's thoughts were revealed by the deaf old lady. He gritted his teeth secretly and had to settle for the next best thing. He said sincerely: "Old lady, I really don't know the origin of this quota. Since He Daqing has no way to get the quota, can you mediate the conflict between him and Yan Bugui? If He Daqing really goes to Hongxing Primary School to report Yan Bugui tomorrow, he will have a mortal enemy with the Yan family. You know, the Yan family has three sons. What if they retaliate against Zhuzi in the future?"

The deaf old lady was also a little worried after hearing this. She was afraid of the worst. What if the three bastards from the Yan family attacked her precious grandson? She hesitated for a while before saying, "I can mediate the conflict between the two at the general meeting of the whole hospital, but Yan Bugui must first apologize to He Daqing at the meeting and promise not to block the door and ask for things from the residents again."

Yi Zhonghai said anxiously: "Old lady, if Yan Bugui is asked to publicly apologize to He Daqing at the whole hospital meeting, who will take the steward seriously in the future?"

The deaf old lady sneered disdainfully: "Only you guys take the steward seriously. No one in other courtyards is willing to do that. If you want others to respect you, then you have to do something that others respect. You three stewards, one of you blocks the gate of the courtyard all day long to ask for things from the residents, and the other one only puts on airs and beats his son. Now it's even worse. He has directly sent himself to the police station and also taken several neighbors in the courtyard with him. You are biased towards your apprentice's family all day long. Apart from those high-sounding words, what have you done to benefit the residents of the courtyard?"

The deaf old lady took a sip of tea from the cup and continued, "You only think about doing good things but don't think about giving back. Even if you get through this time, do you think people will still care about you in the future?"

Yi Zhonghai blushed at what the deaf old lady said. He sighed and said, "Old lady, if Yan Bugui publicly apologizes to He Daqing at the whole courtyard meeting, then no one in this courtyard will be able to suppress He Daqing's limelight in the future."

The deaf old lady sneered and said, "Yi Zhonghai, you have to have some self-knowledge. How can you suppress He Daqing now? In terms of status, he is the deputy director of the canteen of the steel rolling mill, and he is also a cadre in the factory. Many families in our courtyard have people working in the steel rolling mill, so they will naturally support He Daqing. And if He Daqing had not refused to be the manager, do you think you could have been elected? Moreover, He Daqing has made friends with many leading cadres over the years, and you are just an ordinary workshop worker. What can you compare with in terms of interpersonal relationships? If you can be promoted to the eighth-level fitter now, even the factory director will have to call you Master Yi when he sees you. It's a pity that you have spent all your energy on some messy things, which is simply putting the cart before the horse."

Yi Zhonghai said helplessly: "Old lady, the steel mill has announced that in the future, workers will not only be tested on their skills, but also on their ideology and morality. If these things get out, even if I want to pass the exam, it will be a problem."

The deaf old lady sighed and said, "He Daqing gave me some face because of Xiaocui and Zhuzi. If you don't let Yan Bugui apologize publicly, I can't help you. You can do it yourself."

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth, stood up and said: "I'll go find Yan Bugui right away." After that, he walked out of the house with a grim face.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's back, the deaf old lady smiled coldly. Yi Zhonghai, you are just daydreaming if you want to get away with it just by talking. Although she has always disliked He Daqing because of Xiao Cui's death, he is Zhuzi's biological father after all, and they are a family anyway. She is not really senile, so how could she deal with her own people for Yi Zhonghai, an ambitious guy?

The reason why the deaf old lady agreed to mediate the conflict between He Daqing and Yan Bugui was actually because Yi Zhonghai's words reminded her that once He Daqing pushed Yan Bugui to a dead end, she was really worried that the Yan family's children would retaliate against her precious grandson. However, she did not want to let Yan Bugui go for no reason and ask him to publicly apologize at the whole hospital meeting and promise not to block the door and take advantage in the future. She believed that if she did so, Yan Bugui would not only lose face but also be distressed and unable to sleep.

The deaf old lady did not notice that the tape recorder that was originally on the beam was no longer there.

Yi Zhonghai walked out of the deaf old lady's room, feeling extremely angry. He hated why He Daqing had such a high prestige in Courtyard No. 95. He hated the deaf old lady for not wanting to help him wholeheartedly. He hated Yan Bugui even more for making trouble for no reason and bringing him so much trouble out of thin air.

Yi Zhonghai secretly swore in his heart that as long as he could deal with this matter today, he would urge Widow Bai to speed up and absolutely not let He Daqing stay in Sijiu City any longer. As long as He Daqing was in Courtyard No. 95, he would not be able to completely control this courtyard, and his ideal retirement living environment would be out of the question.

As for what the deaf old lady said about her infertility, Yi Zhonghai was skeptical. He planned to go to a big hospital like Union Hospital for a check-up after dealing with these troubles. If everything was really as the deaf old lady said, then Qin Huairu, the slut, would have to wait for his revenge.

Yi Zhonghai didn't bother to pay attention to the residents of the courtyard who were pointing fingers at him, and he hurried to Yan Bugui's house in the front yard.

At this time, Yan Bugui was looking outside the door with an anxious look on his face, his wife and children were also sitting around the table with nervous expressions. Just now, the eldest son Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but complain about his father, which made Yan Bugui furious. So now the whole family sat here in silence.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui immediately ran out of the room and couldn't help asking: "Uncle, what did the deaf old lady say?"

Yi Zhonghai looked coldly at the guy in front of him, and without further ado, he told him the deaf old lady's request.

After hearing the deaf old lady's request, Yan Bugui was very hesitant. To be honest, he didn't care at all about publicly apologizing in the whole hospital meeting. He was thick-skinned enough anyway. But it did make him feel bad to ask him to promise not to block the door and take advantage of others in the future.

Yi Zhonghai knew this guy very well. He said in a deep voice: "Old Yan, if you don't agree, the old lady won't care about these things. If He Daqing really goes to Red Star Primary School to complain, I guess you won't be able to keep your job. You decide what to do next!"

Yan Bugui closed his eyes in pain, sighed deeply and nodded in agreement.
