The Night Watchman of Siheyuan

"The old lady has already apologized to you and admitted her mistake, why are you still refusing to give in?

Do you really want the old lady to kneel down for you?

Don’t you see how old the old lady is? Even if your father comes, he has to call her Madam. Aren’t you afraid of shortening her life?”

Xu Damao smiled at Yi Zhonghai who was baring his teeth and claws at him, and said: "Yi Laogou, you are a family with no descendants, so you like to recognize your relatives, but my Xu family dare not be like you. If my father knew that I recognized an old immortal as my ancestor, what would happen?

How can older people break the law?

If she defected to the enemy, would we have to kowtow again before destroying her?

Wake up, Yi Laogou, do you still think you were the eighth-level fitter who had the final say in the yard and could call the wind and rain, and the boss of the courtyard?

I tell you, you are nothing now.

Also, kneeling down is her personal freedom. If I stop her, wouldn’t that be against the woman’s will?

Don't stop me, kneel down quickly, otherwise this old man will be upset.

And don’t tell me again whether it shortens your life or not. If it weren’t for the fact that we live in the same courtyard, I would have to punish you for spreading feudal superstition.”

Yi Zhonghai was almost driven crazy by Xu Damao calling him "old dog" left and right. So, I should thank you for not arresting me, right?

Yi Zhonghai also found that Xu Damao was different from before. He was slippery and it was impossible to deal with him.

He was at his wit's end. If he continued talking, it would be bad if he got caught. The deaf old lady had to solve the rest by herself.

The deaf old lady saw Yi Zhonghai retreating and realized that he was afraid. She cursed Yi Zhonghai inwardly for being useless and unable to even deal with Xu Damao.

It seemed that she could only rely on herself now. The deaf old lady rolled her eyes and immediately pretended to be deaf.

"Da Mao, you said you wanted to treat me to a meal. I was right, old lady. You are a filial child.

I won’t eat the meal, old lady.

The old lady is tired now and wants to go back to rest. "

As the deaf old lady spoke, she walked towards her house with her crutches. Yi Zhonghai was stunned.

The deaf old lady is smart. She can just pretend to be deaf and dumb and everything will be fine. The deaf old lady is so old. The police and security guards can’t just take her away, right?

You know, if the deaf old lady died on the way, it would be hard to prove whether the police and security guards were guilty.

Yi Zhonghai secretly gave a thumbs up to the deaf old lady's behavior. He believed that Xu Damao and Ye Tian must be looking very happy now.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to look up to see the expressions of the two, but found that Ye Tian's expression had not changed at all, and he still looked like he was watching a show.

Yi Zhonghai turned his gaze to Xu Damao in disbelief. He found that there was no sign of anger on Xu Damao's face. Instead, he was smiling as he watched the deaf old lady's departing back.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't believe his eyes. He thought he was dreaming. Yi Zhonghai pinched his thigh hard.

An intense pain surged into his mind, instantly waking him up. This was definitely not a dream, but what was going on?

Yi Zhonghai really couldn't understand what was happening before his eyes, and he had a vague bad premonition.

The deaf old lady didn't notice anything unusual and thought that Xu Damao was scared by her.

Just as she was about to open the door and go home, Xu Damao's voice came from behind, causing the deaf old lady to pause.

"How long do you want to play dumb, you old fool? Do you really think we can't deal with you?

Smashing my house is a small matter. Under normal circumstances, you could just pay some money and it would be fine.

But this time you are threatening me, wanting me to let go of the thief who stole state assets. The crime of threatening a public official is a serious one.

You think you can get away with it by pretending to be deaf and dumb. Are you really blind?

Not to mention, you, the five-guarantee household, haven’t explained clearly the matter of donating shoes to the Red Army and the families of martyrs?

It would have been fine if you didn't say anything just now, but now that the government officials are here, it would be hard to justify not saying anything, right?"

When the deaf old lady heard Xu Damao say that government workers had arrived, she completely relaxed. She thought that if anyone came, it would be Director Wang, who would definitely handle the matter for her.

Thinking of this, the deaf old lady turned around and said to Xu Damao: "Originally, I didn't want to bother with you about your slander against me.

But you really won't give in. Well, I, old lady, will make you give up on this idea today.

Director Wang from the street office personally processed the five-guarantee household for me. If you have any questions, just ask them. "

"Well, I'll fulfill your wish, old man." Xu Damao let the person behind him go out.

It was Director Wang from the Street Office, but Director Wang was not the protagonist. Instead, he was following behind a middle-aged man. This scene made the deaf old lady frown.

But soon, the deaf old lady relaxed. No matter what, with Director Wang around, nothing would happen to her.

Xu Damao didn't care about the changes in the deaf old lady's expression at all. He walked up to Director Wang and started his performance.

"Director Wang, the deaf old lady said that you were the one who registered her as a five-guarantee household?

Now the question is, how can a city dweller become a five-guarantee household?

If I remember correctly, this should have been issued by the state to take care of some elderly people in the countryside who have made contributions to the country.

But I heard that the deaf old lady has lived here since the founding of the People's Republic of China. She is not from the countryside. How did she become a five-guarantee household?

Also, do you know what the old lady usually does?

Whenever he saw someone eating meat, he would go to the door to ask for meat. If the person refused to give him meat, he would smash the glass. Yi Zhonghai would also hold a meeting of the whole hospital to criticize those who did not give meat to the deaf old lady.

And there is no idiot like that who would just go up and beat someone up.

It is not easy for anyone to eat meat these days. How can someone become a five-guarantee household with such behavior?

Also, Yi Zhonghai said in front of everyone in the hospital that a deaf old lady had sent shoes to the Red Army. How did an old lady with bound feet send them there?

Also, I remember that the Red Army had never been to Sijiucheng. The deaf old lady is a real native of Sijiucheng. Haven’t you investigated?

Also, when I went to the countryside before, I saw some people who pushed carts for our army, and some of them were older than the deaf old lady.

But those old people are still working in the fields?

Yi Zhonghai also spread the word that the deaf old lady was a relative of a martyr and asked everyone to respect her. But I heard that relatives of martyrs all have certificates, and no one in the hospital has seen one.

And this deaf old lady used to be the ancestor of our compound. I just don’t understand. The mountains have been overthrown, so where did the ancestors of the compound come from?

Could it be that there is another Empress Dowager Cixi in our courtyard?"

The deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai were so frightened by Xu Damao's words that he almost pointed at their noses and said that they were the remnants of feudalism.

As for the other spectators in the courtyard, they cheered for what Xu Damao said in their hearts. Xu Damao was expressing their thoughts.

The two poor families in Siheyuan have been a retirement group for a long time, and Xu Damao's words can be regarded as a relief for them.

When Director Wang heard Xu Damao's words, she knew that something bad was going to happen today. She tried to interrupt Xu Damao several times, but was stopped by the middle-aged man in front of her.

The middle-aged man is called Xu Xin, and he is the mayor of Dongcheng District. Director Wang can't afford to offend him, so he can only curse Xu Damao to death in his heart, but it's of no use.

District Chief Xu was also surprised when he heard Xu Damao's words. He didn't expect such a thing to happen in Sijiu City. However, he did not choose to believe Xu Damao's words directly and decided to investigate it first.

“It seems that this young comrade has a lot of questions. Since you, Director Wang, are the one who managed this elderly person’s five-guarantee household, I’m sure you must be familiar with this elderly person’s information.

How about this, Director Wang, you explain it in front of everyone."

Director Wang felt a little relieved. Fortunately, he had destroyed the deaf old lady's file. He just had to deal with the current situation.

Thinking of this, Director Wang smiled and said, "District Chief Xu, the information about the deaf old lady is too old, I don't remember it very clearly, but the five-guarantee household thing did happen.

The street office even issued a sign specifically for it. Look, it’s right at the door.”
