Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan
Chapter 20 The Deaf Old Lady's Golden Body Was Destroyed
Yi Zhonghai saw that the discussions were getting louder and louder, and their words were full of suspicion of himself. He knew that he had to quickly divert everyone's attention, otherwise if this continued, the prestige he had worked so hard to build up in the Siheyuan would be gone.
Moreover, in Zhou Jin's opinion, this matter no longer had any value that could be used, and talking about it further would only make himself more embarrassed.
So Yi Zhonghai quickly brought the topic back to asking for meat.
"Well, since you don't agree with our rule about not locking the door, let's talk about this downstairs."
Zhou Jin knew that the old guy was frustrated and wanted to change the subject, but how could he do that? He interrupted Yi Zhonghai directly.
"Stop, stop, stop, Yi Zhonghai, don't talk about it next time. It just so happens that everyone is here now, and the other two managers are here too, so let's take this opportunity to resolve this matter, so as to avoid having to hold a meeting later and wasting everyone's time.
Tell me, am I right?"
"Yes, since everyone is here now, let's just say it directly to avoid any more trouble later."
"Yes, although it's not a full-school meeting, almost everyone should be here."
Voices supporting Zhou Jin were heard from the crowd, and then more and more people expressed their support.
Yi Zhonghai really wanted to cry but had no tears at this moment. What could he do? If he admitted that Zhou Jin could lock the door, wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face? If others saw this, would they follow suit?
How can I manage the courtyard house, control them, and let them take care of me in my old age?
But if I insist that Zhou Jin not lock the door, what should I do with the letter of guarantee? I have to sign it. Not signing it means that I am not confident in myself, but if I sign it, others will definitely follow suit.
There are nearly twenty households in the entire courtyard. How can I afford to lose so much money?
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai wished he could just dig a hole under his feet and disappear, but this was unrealistic and he had to face what he had to face.
Yi Zhonghai remembered what Zhou Jin had said just now. Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were also in the crowd. Everyone was a beneficiary of the rules, so they must share the responsibility when facing problems.
So he walked straight into the crowd and pulled out the two managers who were watching the show.
Then the three uncles quietly communicated with each other in the crowd.
Zhou Jin was not in a hurry. Since the meal had been interrupted, there was no need to rush. He had plenty of time to fight with you today.
Zhou Jin turned around and looked at He Yushui again, signaling to her that he was fine and to eat quickly, otherwise it would be cold soon.
He Yushui also heard the noise outside and knew that his brother Zhou Jin had the upper hand, so he stopped worrying and continued to eat the delicious food made by Zhou Jin.
At this time, the three uncles had been discussing for a long time. Although Zhou Jin had a lot of time, he didn't want to waste it on these three guys.
"Hey, you three, how's the discussion going? What are you going to do? Give us an answer right away and stop wasting everyone's time."
In fact, the three of them had almost reached a conclusion after discussion. Everyone was inclined to allow Zhou Jin not to lock the door. After all, compared with being slapped in the face and paying huge compensation, it was nothing.
If they really signed the guarantee letter, Yi Zhonghai could guarantee that people would be robbed every day in the entire courtyard. Yi Zhonghai knew this group of people very well. As long as there was an advantage to be gained, they would not show mercy.
The reason why they have not given the final choice yet is just their final persistence.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet. After discussing this, the three of us feel that there is nothing wrong with Zhou Jin locking the door."
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking these simple words, he seemed to have lost his energy and spirit, shrinking visibly.
There is no way. Yi Zhonghai values his face the most, but now he has to slap himself in the face with his own hands. He can't just watch him and let him laugh.
Zhou Jin got a satisfactory answer and praised Yi Zhonghai generously.
"That's right. A comrade who knows his mistakes and can correct them is a good comrade. Comrade Yi Zhonghai, you should listen more to the voices of the masses in the future and stop having the final say.
You three cannot represent all residents. I hope you can do this in the future. It’s getting late. I’m going back to my room to eat.”
After Zhou Jin finished speaking, he was about to close the door and go back to his room to eat.
But Yi Zhonghai stopped Zhou Jin again.
"Wait a minute, Zhou Jin, don't close the door, I have something else to talk to you about."
Zhou Jin was not in a hurry. Since he could humiliate you once, he could humiliate you twice or three times.
"Tell me, what else do you want?"
Although Yi Zhonghai was very unhappy with Zhou Jin's attitude, he controlled his emotions when he remembered the deaf old lady's instructions.
"Zhou Jin, I came here mainly because the deaf old lady wanted to eat meat. I asked you to bring a bowl of braised pork to honor the old lady."
After hearing this, Zhou Jin was delighted. The plot of having to eat meat finally appeared. It seemed that he could continue to humiliate Yi Zhonghai.
"Haha, Yi Zhonghai, how dare you say that? Who is she, a deaf old lady? How can I respect her? It's really funny. You have no parents and no children. If you want to find a mother, I don't care, but don't set your sights on me."
"Zhou Jin, you are so brave. The old lady is the ancestor of our courtyard. Everyone in the courtyard treats the old lady with respect. Even if your parents were alive and cooked something delicious, they would bring a bowl to the old lady."
"You're right. My parents thought the old deaf lady was old and childless, so they felt sorry for her. That's why they helped her from time to time. But who would have thought that she was such an ungrateful person.
When my parents passed away one after another, I went to her for help in dealing with my parents' funeral affairs, but this old lady closed the door and refused to see me. Later, I had no choice but to go to Director Wang of the Street Office.
Just a few days ago, the Jia family occupied my house and Director Wang stepped in to resolve the issue. This old deaf woman actually asked me to forgive the Jia family. I was unwilling to do so, and she even threatened me verbally.
Please judge for yourself. How can we respect such an ungrateful person who doesn't respect the elderly, doesn't know right from wrong, is lazy and greedy, smashes windows, and takes sides? "
Yes, Li Xiuli collapsed due to anger, and Zhou Weiguo's funeral fell on Zhou Jin. But Zhou Jin was only fifteen years old at that time and didn't understand these things, so he went to ask the deaf old lady for help.
After all, his family often sent food to the deaf old lady, but he never expected that the old lady would simply close the door and refuse to see him. Zhou Jin had no choice but to go find Director Wang.
After hearing Zhou Jin's words, there was a change in everyone's eyes. In fact, they had long been fed up with the deaf old lady. After all, it was not easy for anyone these days.
You finally get some delicious food at home, but before you even start eating, this old woman comes to your door. If you don't give her food, she will start to make a scene and smash your windows. If you dare to resist, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu will come out.
Therefore, everyone in the hospital had to swallow their anger due to the threats from Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu, and considering that the deaf old lady was too old.
At this time, the deaf old lady was waiting in the house to eat Zhou Jin's braised pork. She heard everything that happened outside. She didn't care much about what happened before. She couldn't suppress Zhou Jin, so she could only say that Yi Zhonghai was useless.
But the more the deaf old lady listened to the following words, the more frightened she became. She didn't expect Zhou Jin to reveal her past. Although she often did immoral things, her personality was that of the ancestor of the Siheyuan.
How could she allow Zhou Jin to humiliate her like this? However, the deaf old lady did not dare to go out to find Zhou Jin. After all, these things were true. If she was forced into a corner by him and told him some secrets, she would completely lose face.
Now our only hope is placed on Yi Zhonghai, hoping that he can be of some use and suppress Zhou Jin.
In the yard, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help it. The deaf old lady was his amulet, and he would not allow anyone to hurt her.
"Zhou Jin, shut up. Stop talking nonsense. The deaf old lady is the pillar of the courtyard. She is the ancestor who once gave straw sandals to the Red Army. She is a martyr's relative. How dare you insult the old lady? I will report you to the street office and put you in jail."
Zhou Jin was waiting for Yi Zhonghai to tell her about this. She had long suspected the identity of the deaf old lady. How could a martyr's relative be such a scoundrel like her?
"Yi Zhonghai, don't forget that this is New China. The three mountains have been removed long ago. I think the old courtyard houses are feudal remnants. It seems that you have serious ideological problems. Last time, Director Wang asked you to reflect on your mistakes, but it seems that you didn't take it seriously.
And you said she was a martyr's relative. Then let me ask you, as an old lady with bound feet, she would be dumbfounded when she went out. I'm afraid she had never even left the city. She even donated straw sandals to the Red Army.
As far as I know, the Red Army never came to Sijiu City, and Sijiu City was liberated peacefully. Where did she send the straw sandals to, and to whom did she send them? I'm afraid it wasn't to the Red Army, but to the Japanese puppet army and Chiang Kai-shek. "
And you said she was a martyr's relative, then where is her martyr's relative certificate and the sign of the Home of Glory? Has anyone of you seen it? Look at the sign of my home.
Don't say it was accidentally dropped. Such an important thing must be hidden well and can never be thrown away casually."
Zhou Jin's combination of punches once again confused Yi Zhonghai. He never expected that he and the deaf old lady had planned for so long and kept it a secret from everyone in the courtyard, but now they were exposed by Zhou Jin.
The deaf old lady has lost her relatives. Who will give her face in the future? Then I will lose an ace card. What am I doing?
It was just a request for a bowl of meat, but what happened was that he didn't get any meat, and was scolded over and over again by Zhou Jin. He broke the rules he had set, and the hero he had created with his own hands was also exposed.
This is not just shooting oneself in the foot, it's hitting oneself in the vital area.
Zhou Jin's words made the silent crowd excited again.
"I never thought that the deaf old lady's family was actually fake. We have been deceived for so long."
"That's right. I used to send her delicious food because she was a martyr's relative. I didn't expect that she was actually a liar."
"It's so hateful. This is a deception of our feelings. Why don't we go to the street office to report the situation?"
After hearing Zhou Jin's remarks, everyone felt that they were stupid. How come they hadn't discovered such an obvious loophole in all these years?
Having been foolishly deceived by Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady for so long, everyone began to look at Yi Zhonghai with hatred.
After hearing what Zhou Jin said, Yi Zhonghai was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. At this time, he didn't care about asking for braised pork for the deaf old lady. He quickly squeezed out of the crowd and returned to the deaf old lady's house.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, those people would not be able to control themselves and attack him. He was old and could not withstand being beaten by so many people.
And if Zhou Jin revealed some secrets about himself again, it would be a big trouble. Although he was not sure how many secrets Zhou Jin knew about them, he did not dare to gamble, so he could only run away and make plans later.
At this time, Qin Huairu looked at the development of the plot and the anger of the onlookers, and knew that she would not get any meat today. She could only put the bowl behind her and go home with everyone.
When Zhou Jin saw that the crowd had left, he turned around, locked the door and went to eat.
I never expected that a meal of braised pork could cause such a big commotion. I guess the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai are regretting it now.
Not only did he not get the meat, he also suffered heavy losses.
