Uncle Ni glanced at Director Wang and continued to look at the chessboard.

"Xiao Wang, you know my grandson Wang Tiedan, right?"

"I know, I know, he's a very good guy." Director Wang said with a smile.

"Then do you know that my grandson almost starved to death several times while living in this yard?"

Ni Ye spoke calmly, but his question was very pointed.

Director Wang didn’t know and had no way to answer. It was hard to say how many people starved to death in those years, but the number of people who almost starved to death was definitely countless.

"Xiao Wang, I'm not an unreasonable person. During those years, every household had a hard time. Giving others a bite to eat was a huge favor. We, the Wang family, will remember it for the rest of our lives.

If they don't give it to you, I won't say anything. We are not related at all, so there is nothing wrong with eating close to your own family.

But, not only did they not give it to me, they were also sarcastic, spoke bad words to me, and even did bad things behind my back, which meant they were not giving my grandson a chance to live.

Doesn’t the old deaf woman want to share the meal? Sure, ask her how she treats my grandson. Did she give him half a steamed bun or half a bowl of cornmeal porridge?

If you give me the word, I will personally invite her over and serve her well every day. If you don't give me the word and she still tries to do bad things behind my back, you can let her go wherever she wants."

There is no need to ask about this matter. If it had been given, this situation would not have happened today.

Director Wang blushed and stood up apologetically.

"Mr. Wang, I thought too simply. You are busy. I will come to see you later."

"Okay, then slow down."

Ni Ye didn't stand up either, just watched them leave.

The sound in the house was not loud, but people outside could hear it clearly, which also dispelled the extravagant hopes of many people in the yard.

As Director Wang walked out, his face instantly drooped.

She didn't know that she was being used as a gun by the deaf old lady and the residents who followed her.

Wang Tiedan must have been bullied a lot, otherwise Ni Ye would not have such a strong resentment.

Director Wang had a gloomy face and led his men to the backyard.

She glanced at the deaf old lady in the room, then looked at the surrounding residents, and finally set her sights on the second and third aunts.

"Wu Qiaoyun, the deaf old lady needs to rest for three months. The subsidy for these three months will be given to your Liu family. You can deliver three meals to her every morning, noon and evening. She will eat whatever your family eats. Is that a problem?"

It's not that the third aunt is not capable. She is a temporary worker in the street. However, the Yan family is well-known for being stingy throughout the street. Director Wang is really afraid that the Yan family will withhold the subsidy.

The second aunt hesitated for a moment and agreed immediately.

"No problem, Director Wang, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job for my old Liu."

Director Wang nodded and looked at the deaf old lady with a gloomy face in the window, but did not give her any face.

"Old lady, they don't agree. I advise you not to have this idea again in the future, so as not to embarrass yourself.

You are a five-guarantee household, and the street will provide you with food, clothing and other necessities, but you should not act like an old ancestor of a courtyard house, where no one will spoil you. "

After saying that, Director Wang went to the Intermediate Court without looking back.

There's a big hole over there.

The deaf old lady's face became even gloomier, and she hated Director Wang in her heart.

It's just that you have used up all the favors, there's no need to be so disrespectful.

And Wang Tiedan, how come you, bastard, didn’t starve to death during those years?

The crowd gradually dispersed. Some residents were disappointed, while others were gloating. The happiest one was the second aunt.

If I get this job for nothing, I will definitely get praise from Liu Haizhong.

Middle Court.

The subdistrict office specially assigned someone to guard Yi Zhonghai, for fear that he would commit suicide.

But it is not a solution to keep going like this. The street cannot afford to waste two or three people just because of Yi Zhonghai. It is such a waste.

Director Wang wanted to do some more work, and the result was as expected.

Not for birds.

The next day, Director Wang was overwhelmed by work, and then he received another piece of news.

Yi Zhonghai started a hunger strike. From last night to noon today, he did not eat a single grain of rice or drink a single drop of water. He was very determined.

Director Wang wanted to strangle Yi Zhonghai to death, so he quickly asked someone to notify the steel mill and then rushed to the courtyard.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai's house was already crowded with people.

Yi Zhonghai lay on the bed, his lips chapped and his eyes empty, staring at the ceiling, motionless.

Braised pork and chicken noodle soup were placed beside the bed, with bright colors and fragrant aromas.

The people from the street office kept trying to persuade him, but Yi Zhonghai turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear, which made people very anxious.

Different from inside the house, Aunt Ma and other middle-aged women gathered together, with expressions that showed they knew everything on their faces.

"Last time he hanged himself, this time he is on a hunger strike. What do you think, should Qin Huairu take the stage next?"

"Of course. She has to bring up some things. Yi Zhonghai can't bring them up on his own initiative. He's still on a hunger strike."

"I think Qin Huairu will definitely go and tell him tomorrow at the latest. Maybe she will ask him to go into the house and feed Yi Zhonghai today. She must let the leaders of the steel mill and the street office know that only she can take care of Yi Zhonghai."

"Yes, that's right. This is the only way to break the deadlock."

"This Yi Zhonghai is really calculating."

"I think Tiedan is the best. He saw through it right from the beginning."

"I haven't seen Wang Tiedan come in the past two days. I have to ask him again."

While people were still discussing here, the steel rolling mill sent more people, but this time the workshop director was in charge, assisted by Yi Zhonghai's old co-workers.

But how could they wake up someone who was pretending to be asleep, no, pretending to commit suicide?

After much persuasion and several bowls of saliva, Yi Zhonghai still chose not to eat, which made the leaders who wanted Yi Zhonghai to return to work as soon as possible very anxious.

It was evening, and Qin Huairu hurried back to the courtyard. She stayed at the Jia family for a while and went directly to the Yi family. Then, under the stunned eyes of the street office staff, she just whispered a few words of comfort and let Yi Zhonghai drink a bowl of water.

This situation was immediately reported to Director Wang and Director Yang, and both parties were delighted.

As long as he can drink water, it shouldn't be long before Yi Zhonghai gives up the idea of ​​committing suicide.

However, to their disappointment, Yi Zhonghai went on a hunger strike again the next day. Apart from a bowl of water fed by Qin Huairu last night, he still did not eat a single grain of rice.

Seeing that there would be problems if they continued to starve, Director Yang had no choice but to approve Qin Huairu to take care of Yi Zhonghai, and solemnly instructed her to take good care of him.

In this way, after many rounds of coordination, Qin Huairu took over the job of the street office staff and moved into Yi Zhonghai's home.

Except for the strange looks from the neighbors, everything was exactly as Yi Zhonghai predicted.

Time passed by unknowingly. Another day had passed.

Yi Zhonghai continued his "hunger strike", Qin Huairu ran to the steel mill crying, and then gave Director Yang a multiple-choice question.

Either find someone else to take care of Yi Zhonghai, or let her marry Yi Zhonghai.

The reason is simple: people’s words are scary.

As a widow, she cannot take care of a widower. Now people in the hospital look at her with something unnatural in their eyes. If she continues like this, her reputation will be ruined.

Of course, between the two options, Qin Huairu expressed her inclination to choose the latter.

Yi Zhonghai might be able to get over the pain of losing his wife as soon as possible and resume work, and it would be too difficult for her as a widow to support a family, so she could take this opportunity to get rid of the burden of the family.
