Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

After returning home, Chen Xu thought about Yi Zhonghai.

When I first watched the film and television, I thought Yi Zhonghai was quite capable, but through his own personal experience, it seems that this old guy doesn't have much ability.

After trying hard to recall for a while, Chen Xu understood the reason.

This old guy actually only knows three tricks.

Moral kidnapping, calling for thugs, calling for ancestors.

It seems that apart from these three points, there is only a little fame left.

Now Yi Zhonghai's reputation is infamous, and no one knows where his thugs have gone. As for calling on the ancestor of the courtyard, this trick is obviously useless to Director Wang, and there is no place to use moral kidnapping. Kidnapping Director Wang? Don't be ridiculous, it's good enough that they don't kidnap him.

Compared with Yi Zhonghai's level of skills, public servants like Director Wang are professionals.

As for moral blackmailing Chen Xu, it is estimated that Chen Xu would not even look at him.

Are you kidding? Even the big promises made by the boss in the previous life couldn't fool Chen Xu. In his eyes, your trick of getting something for nothing, Yi Zhonghai, is simply shameful.

By this calculation, Yi Zhonghai is indeed useless.

Of course, this old guy is now a seventh-level fitter, so his basic living security will definitely not be a problem.

Outside the courtyard.

Director Wang, who was walking towards the street office, heard a call from behind.

"Xiao Wang, wait..."

Director Wang turned and looked at the deaf old lady.

Others saw this old lady usually trembling, but this time her legs and feet were very nimble, and she caught up with Director Wang after starting later.

Director Wang looked a little unhappy. With her experience, it was not difficult for her to guess why the deaf old lady called her.

But he soon restrained his expression and smiled.

"It's the old lady, what's the matter?"

The deaf old lady really didn't want to get involved in this matter, but there was nothing she could do. After all, the Yi family had taken care of her for so long. Although it was the aunt who took care of her, Yi Zhonghai also put in a lot of effort, and the position of the uncle was indeed very important.

Without Yi Zhonghai, a great man, to help her establish the image of the ancestor of Siheyuan, no one in Siheyuan would care about her.

She and Yi Zhonghai had a mutually beneficial relationship, and things would be difficult to get done without either of them, so the deaf old lady rushed out when Director Wang just left.

"Xiao Wang, what about Xiao Yi? I also think he did something wrong..."

The deaf old lady understood the art of speaking very well. If she directly asked Director Wang to make the decision, she would probably lose all her face.

Director Wang didn't say anything, but just listened quietly. The deaf old lady was very knowledgeable, so naturally, she, the director, was no ordinary person either.

Sure enough, after a few polite words, the deaf old lady changed the subject.

"It's just that Xiao Yi has done a lot of things over the years. Even if he has no credit, he has worked hard. I wonder if you can give Xiao Yi a lighter sentence and another chance."

Director Wang looked at the deaf old lady in front of him helplessly.

To be honest, for what Yi Zhonghai did, it would be enough to send him to a labor camp. If the matter of embezzling living expenses was taken into account, he should be directly sent to target shooting. Now she just wanted to remove Yi Zhonghai's position as the big boss, and she did not pursue the matter further because Yi Zhonghai and He Daqing had settled the matter privately.

This is already considered a lenient sentence, but I didn't expect that someone would come to plead for mercy.

Director Wang didn't understand. Given Yi Zhonghai's current reputation, do you think it's appropriate for him to be the uncle?

As for giving face to the deaf old lady, I'm sorry. Although the deaf old lady is a five-guarantee household and is old, she should be respected in normal times, but there is no face to be given when it comes to major issues.

If she were to let go of what she said in the courtyard today tomorrow, would she still be the director of the subdistrict office? How would others view her?

After taking a deep breath, Director Wang gave an explanation.

"Old lady, you are well aware of Yi Zhonghai's current reputation. Moreover, the fact that he embezzled his living expenses has caused a lot of controversy. Even if this incident hadn't happened today, he wouldn't have been able to stay in the position of the steward for long. This is not something I can decide alone, so please don't worry about it."

Director Wang left after speaking.

The deaf old lady stood there for a long time and couldn't say a word.

She also remembered that Yi Zhonghai had embezzled his living expenses. Although this matter was already in the past, the damage to Yi Zhonghai's reputation was irreparable. This incident alone was enough for Yi Zhonghai to step down.

The deaf old lady felt a little annoyed that she had come to beg for mercy without thinking it through. Not only was it a wasted trip, but Director Wang might even have some opinions about her.

Sighing, the deaf old lady walked towards the courtyard helplessly.

She didn't want to care about Yi Zhonghai's affairs anymore. She couldn't blame anyone for her current situation.

In fact, the deaf old lady still has some concerns about Yi Zhonghai embezzling Sha Zhu's living expenses. To her, the most important things are Sha Zhu and Yima. One is her legitimate godson, and the other is the person she has taken care of for so many years.

As for Yi Zhonghai, to be honest, for her as a five-guarantee household, even if he was gone, the loss would not be that big. There would just be some difference in status, and she probably wouldn't be able to speak so effectively in the courtyard.

But no one would bully her as she is a five-guarantee household.

After all, Chen Xu would go to the street office to complain, so why couldn't the deaf old lady do the same?

If someone is still thinking about Yi Zhonghai, then no one will care about Jia Zhangshi.

Even Jia Dongxu is now at the Yi family accompanying his master and has no time to take care of his mother's affairs.

Now Jia Zhang was tied up in a small room in the street office, and nothing happened next.

After all, the comrades from the street office also have to go off work. As for Jia Zhang, just tie her up first and talk about it tomorrow.

At this time, Jia Zhang's hands were tied behind a pillar and she couldn't even squat down. Because she was crying, the impatient comrades from the street office stuffed a rag into her mouth.

Director Wang had already taken his people off work, and the only one left in the entire street office was Jia Zhang, who was watching the sky gradually darken with a look of horror. In the end, only the occasional whimpering sound could be heard in the darkness.

Easy home.

Yi Zhonghai sat beside the table without saying a word, and Jia Dongxu didn't dare to speak either. In fact, he was the one who brought up this matter. If he hadn't gone home and mentioned the matter of renting a house to his mother, Jia Zhang would not have gone to trouble Chen Xu.

In the end, not only did he get himself involved, but he also dragged Yi Zhonghai into it.

Yi Zhonghai has actually recovered now. He didn't say anything but just recalled his experiences during this period. What he thought about most now was whether it was worth it for him to help the Jia family.

The deaf old lady has reminded him many times over the years, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, who is Yi Zhonghai? He is a senior technician in the steel rolling mill and the boss of the courtyard whose word is law. Even if someone is partial to him, no one can do anything to him.

But now it seems that it is not the case. First, He Daqing cheated him out of everything, and then Chen Xu, the outsider, stepped on his face. Adding these things together, he didn't get any benefits and almost lost everything.

"The old way doesn't work anymore."

Yi Zhonghai sighed in his heart. He was not a fool, he just hadn't changed his mind yet.

Today, many people testified for Chen Xu, proving that he is no longer the same Yi Zhonghai. The aftereffects of his ruined reputation have already appeared, but he did not take it seriously.

If you were to say what Yi Zhonghai regrets the most now, it would probably be embezzling his living expenses.

A sudden idea ten years ago led to heavy losses ten years later and triggered a series of events, which he had never expected. If he had known this would be the result, you would have asked Yi Zhonghai to pay for He Daqing's living expenses, let alone embezzling He Daqing's living expenses.
