Siheyuan Sizhu, you are so wicked

Yi Zhonghai only felt his head buzzing and his vision went dark, as if the world was spinning around him. The anger, grievance and helplessness in his heart intertwined together, causing him to completely collapse!

What the hell is going on?

Is it possible that I have no control over my own affairs at all?

Yi Zhonghai had already made it clear long ago, stating categorically that he did not need anyone else to take care of him in his old age. He was confident that he could absolutely do it on his own.

But who would have thought that Sha Zhu wouldn't buy it at all.

He insisted on finding someone to take care of him in his old age.

How can you do things this way? It's just a waste of time!

What’s even more annoying is that Xu Damao also jumped out to join in the fun at this critical moment, and hypocritically followed suit and advised:

"Uncle, we are all doing this for your own good! Look at you, you are so old, and your legs and feet are getting less and less flexible. What if you accidentally fall or have an accident? So, it would be a great thing to have someone around to help take care of your daily life!"

When the other neighbors saw this, they immediately followed suit like fence-sitters.

Some said: "Uncle, Shazhu and Xu Damao are so right! You and Aunt are so old, if something happens to your health one day, we, as neighbors, will feel guilty!"

Others said, "That's right. We have been neighbors for so many years. We know each other very well. Don't you trust us?"

Some even accused him directly: "Oh, uncle, you are too suspicious!"

Yi Zhonghai widened his eyes and looked at this group of people who were approaching with great momentum, feeling bitter in his heart.

It felt like these neighbors were a group of hungry wolves, staring at this piece of fat meat of mine, and they couldn't wait to pounce on it and eat it alive and divide it up.

This is not caring about his retirement at all, it is obvious that they want to take advantage of his old age and frailty to seize his property and make his family rich!

Sha Zhu stood there, staring at Yi Zhonghai, only to see that Yi Zhonghai remained unmoved and showed no sign of nodding in agreement. Sha Zhu thought to himself: It seems that I have to compete with this old guy today!

So, he gritted his teeth and continued to blackmail her morally: "Uncle, in those days, you really worried about our entire courtyard! You were busy running around, and you took care of the widows in the courtyard with all your heart. Everyone saw it clearly!"

When he said this, Sha Zhu deliberately pronounced the word "widow" particularly heavily and loudly.

As expected, as soon as Sha Zhu said this, the originally quiet scene suddenly became a little subtle.

Everyone present pursed their lips, trying hard not to laugh out loud, but their red faces and slightly trembling shoulders betrayed their true thoughts - in fact, everyone was already bursting with joy in their hearts!

After all, everyone knows that there is only one old widow in this courtyard, and that is the fierce and difficult Jia Zhang!

What is the relationship between Yi Zhonghai and her?

Talking about taking care of me is pure bullshit!

It was obvious that Yi Zhonghai was attracted by Jia Zhang's beauty when he was young, which was why he had designs on her.

Now, after Sha Zhu's clever embellishment of words, it sounds like Yi Zhonghai has really become the kind of selfless and kind-hearted person who silently dedicates himself to his neighbors.

Let’s look at Yi Zhonghai himself. At this moment, his wrinkled old face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, his lips were tightly closed and he said nothing.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't leave now, but he was unwilling to agree to it. He was being taken advantage of by outsiders, so he was still gritting his teeth and holding on.

Seeing that the uncle was unmoved, Sha Zhu continued to persuade him, "Uncle, think about it. Over the years, you have always taken care of the neighbors in the courtyard. Whenever someone has a problem, you are always the first to lend a hand to help solve it."

After Sha Zhu said this, the neighbors looked at Yi Zhonghai a little differently.

What Shazhu said was beautiful. In fact, the word "take care of" needs to be put in quotation marks.

When Yi Zhonghai was young, relying on his status as an 8th-level worker in a steel rolling mill and as the eldest uncle in the courtyard house, he used moral blackmail and made decisions for others many times.

When Yi Zhonghai harmed people, he didn't just harm Sha Zhu.

They often use the saying "Ignore the facts and you are not wrong" to morally blackmail their neighbors, and then add a sentence at the end: "I've made the decision for you and let the matter go", forcing everyone to bow their heads.

In the past, we couldn't afford to offend you.

Now that you are old and retired, who is afraid of you?

Sure enough, the neighbors' eyes on Yi Zhonghai gradually changed.

As for Sha Zhu, he didn't seem to notice the change in the neighbors' expressions at all, and continued to make Yi Zhonghai hate him:

"Uncle, you are old now, and your legs and feet are not so agile. If we just abandon you like this, do we still have any conscience? We should have some moral principles, right?"

At this point, Sha Zhu cleverly turned around and shouted to the neighbors around him: "Everyone, tell me, does what I just said make sense?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the neighbors gathered around, each with a smile on their face, and kept agreeing with him.

Some laughed and joked: "Hey, Zhuzi, what you said is so reasonable! We really can't go against our conscience!"

Others hurriedly tried to persuade the uncle: "Uncle, look, Zhuzi is really helping you, just accept it!"

Some people even said with deep emotion: "That's right, uncle. When you were young and strong, you worried so much about our neighbors and did so much for them. Now that you are old, it's our turn to take care of you. We can't let you suffer any grievances!"

Another neighbor also nodded and said: "Yes, yes, yes, we absolutely cannot ignore an old man, otherwise how can we have the face to live in this yard?"

Everyone was being polite, but in fact, Yi Zhonghai knew very well what they were thinking.

It's my fault for having committed so many sins in the past, and now it's time to pay back the debt.

Listening to what everyone said, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to beg for mercy again. He hurried to Sha Zhu, tugged at his arm, and asked tentatively:

"Zhu Zi, let's stick to the old rules this time. Can you let me go?"
