Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

When Liu Haizhong mentioned this, the neighbors, who were originally as noisy as a vegetable market, stopped talking and looked at Yi Zhonghai.

Dissatisfaction gradually emerged in her eyes and became more and more intense. The deaf old lady was now a traitor who sold out her country, a prostitute in Lu Shengyuan, and a concubine of the prince of the old times.

But - but he is still the ancestor of their compound.

There is no need to think about it. Everyone in the alley must be making fun of their courtyard. Not only are people in the courtyard vying to be the filial sons and grandchildren of traitors and prostitutes, but they also always shout in the alley that the old lady in their courtyard once gave straw sandals to the Red Army and that they treat her as the courtyard's treasure. Isn't this a huge joke!

In a few days, the reputation of their compound will spread like wildfire throughout the streets and the entire city!

Having such an ancestor, if the news spreads to their respective units, it might affect their personal reputation and work.

They were ridiculed and looked down upon in their respective units.

This time it was the old immortal from Baiyun Temple who stepped in and eliminated the traitors with just the count of his fingers. It's hard to tell how widely this news of an old immortal eliminating evil spirits will spread!

Maybe it will not only spread in the cities, but even in the countryside.

So in order not to affect their own reputation, they had to find a scapegoat at this moment, and unanimously tell the outside world that it was him who forced the people in the compound to treat the deaf old lady as their ancestor.

Save the entire compound with one person's reputation.

Obviously, the candidate has to be Yi Zhonghai, because he is the eldest uncle in the compound and he always asks everyone to respect the deaf old lady, treat her as their own grandmother, and call her "ancestor"!

Fortunately, Shazhu was the only stupid one who really recognized the deaf old lady as his grandmother.

If any of them were also instigated by Yi Zhonghai to recognize the deaf old lady as their grandmother, they couldn't even imagine it. They simply didn't dare to think about it now.

Another thing is that the deaf old lady was exposed as a traitor. Everyone was already furious in the morning, but unfortunately the old immortal directly sent the deaf old lady to the police station.

This prevented them from venting their anger, so they deliberately started a fire in Liu Hai.

The neighbors looked at Yi Zhonghai with less friendly eyes. They all glared at him fiercely, hoping that he could give everyone a satisfactory explanation.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the looks in the crowd and understood that they all wanted him to take the blame. Once a deaf old lady went to jail, the reputation he had built up for most of his life would be ruined.

But can he bear the blame? If he really took the blame, being associated with a prostitute, an old lady, a mistress, a dog, and a traitor, that would be the biggest stain in his life.

Will he still be able to act like a big shot in the yard and become a respected senior technician in the steel mill?

No, it’s good enough if you can stand up straight and not be bent by others.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but feel even more miserable. He absolutely didn't dare to be tarnished with this stigma, but seeing that everyone was looking at him, he could only force a smile and say with a happy look:

"I am naturally as happy as everyone else that the old immortal can get rid of a scourge for our compound. Now I am thinking about how we can go to Baiyun Temple to thank the old immortal!"

No one paid any attention to his explanation, but became even more angry. Now the deaf old lady and Sha Zhu were both labeled as traitors!

Has Yi Zhonghai not realized his mistake yet?

If he hadn't been talking about the deaf old lady and the ancestors all day long, their courtyard would have been so embarrassed this time!

It is not scary if there is a traitor in the courtyard. What is scary is that this traitor is their ancestor and the key propaganda target of their courtyard in the alley.

This shows that there is something wrong with the thinking of their entire compound!

Liu Haizhong even went on to say, "Old Yi, let's put aside the matter of thanking the old immortal for now.

Now we have something more important to do. Last week, you represented all the neighbors in our compound and said that Sha Zhu, the little traitor, should take care of the old traitor, the deaf old lady. Don't you need to have a good talk with everyone about this?"

As he spoke, Liu Haizhong's eyes rolled and he continued to add fuel to the fire.

"I remember clearly that you said at the time that everyone in our compound should learn from Sha Zhu and treat the deaf old lady, the traitor, as if she were their own grandmother and respect her. I remember clearly that you even called her ancestor!"

At this point, Li Haizhong's voice became even louder, almost like a scolding.

"Do you know what kind of problem this is? Because of you calling me 'old ancestor', our entire compound has lost face."

Not only were his words powerful, they even echoed in the yard, like a slap in Yi Zhonghai's old face.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned blue and red. He had been a powerful figure in the compound for more than ten years and was highly respected and promoted to a high-ranking official. However, he had never been taught a lesson or humiliated in front of so many neighbors.

Liu Haizhong's face was as cold as frost, and his two small eyes stared at Yi Zhonghai, as if he was determined to make Yi Zhonghai give an explanation to everyone.

Seeing the two of them confronting each other so sharply, the others naturally remained silent, but most of them looked at Yi Zhonghai with a hint of threat in their eyes.

Li Muhua was mixed in the crowd, watching the two people in front of him confronting each other, as if they would start fighting at the next moment. He was so excited that he almost applauded and then shouted a few more times.

Fight, fight!

Let Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong have a head-on confrontation.

Let’s see whether the level 8 fitter has better manual skills or the level lathe operator has greater strength.

Yi Zhonghai obviously knew his current situation. He looked at the neighbors who were somewhat hostile to him, and then looked at Liu Haizhong who had been pulling him, and had to admit defeat:

"I was not thoughtful enough last time. I reflect on myself. I shouldn't have suggested that Sha Zhu take care of the deaf old lady, the traitor. But weren't we all deceived by her at that time?"

As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai's face turned sad, as if he was about to burst into tears the next moment.

"At that time, I asked everyone if they had any objections. No one objected. We are all the same! We were blinded by the deaf old lady, no - by the traitor Ruan Hongmei!"

As Yi Zhonghai spoke, he raised his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes. Now that the neighbors were hostile to him, he could only explain that he had been deceived and integrate himself into the neighborhood.

Liu Haizhong was not satisfied with his answer and continued to press him.

"We were deceived by Sha Zhu and the deaf old lady, but you are different, Old Yi. You are the eldest uncle in the courtyard and have always been closest to the two families in the courtyard. You have a good relationship with Sha Zhu's father He Daqing.

In the past few years, He Daqing sent money back from Baoding every month, and you brought it back to Shazhu and his siblings."

"Now all three of them are traitors. As for Lao Yi, you know nothing about him."

"I don't believe it!"

As he spoke, Liu Haizhong waved his hands and put them behind his back, looking very domineering.

“Ask all the neighbors whether they believe it or not!!”

“Pah pah pah pah~~”

Li Muhua saw Liu Haizhong so majestic and immediately applauded. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he shouted in fear of chaos in the world: "Whatever the Second Master says is right, anyway, I will not--"

Before Li Muhua could finish shouting, Li Aihua next to him immediately hugged his head and covered his mouth tightly.
