Everyone felt the anger and disappointment in Director Xu's words.

Liu Haizhong also realized the seriousness of the problem at this time. He originally thought that he could call the shots in this courtyard by relying on his relationship with Director Xu. However, he was wrong. He underestimated Director Xu's determination and overestimated his own ability.

"Director Xu, I know I was wrong. I will reflect on my behavior and actively cooperate with the work of the street office." Yi Zhonghai finally spoke, his voice full of regret and determination.

Director Xu nodded, then turned and left the courtyard. His back looked so firm and resolute in the sun, as if telling everyone: In this era, no behavior that deviates from the spirit of the times is allowed to exist.

Yi Zhonghai was shocked by this sudden question and took a step back. His face turned pale instantly. He tried to calm down, but his voice was shaking: "I... I just want to take care of the deaf old lady. She is old and needs someone to take care of her."

"Take care of her?" The protagonist sneered, his voice full of disdain, "What you mean by take care of her is to make her your puppet and use her for your own purposes?"

Yi Zhonghai's expression became even uglier. He tried to defend himself: "You...you are talking nonsense! I just..."

"Enough!" Yang Ming walked out of the crowd and interrupted Yi Zhonghai's defense. He looked directly at Yi Zhonghai and said in a clear and powerful voice: "Yi Zhonghai, everyone has seen what you have done. You keep saying that you respect the deaf old lady, but what is the reality? You are just using her special status to seek personal gain for yourself!"

"You..." Yi Zhonghai was so angry at Yang Ming's words that he trembled all over, but he could not refute it because what Yang Ming said was exactly the secret in his heart.

"Moreover," Yang Ming continued, "everyone in this yard can testify for me. They all know about what happened between you and the deaf old lady."

Hearing this, the people in the yard nodded in agreement. They had long been aware of Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady's behavior, but they just didn't say it out loud.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai became even more panicked. He knew that he was in a desperate situation and could no longer defend himself. He could only kneel down helplessly and beg for everyone's forgiveness.

However, the matter did not end there. After Director Xu learned about this, he decided to intervene in the investigation himself. He came to the courtyard and directly questioned the deaf old lady: "Long Guihua, tell me the truth, did Yi Zhonghai use you for personal gain?"

The deaf old lady knew it very well, and faced with Director Xu's questioning, she could only remain silent. She knew that no matter how much she defended herself, she could not change the facts.

Director Xu saw this and had an answer in his mind. He ordered his men to take the deaf old lady away and announced that Yi Zhonghai would be severely punished.

The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became tense. Everyone knew that this matter was of great importance, involving the reputation of the street office and the harmony of the courtyard.

When Yi Zhonghai was taken away, his face was as pale as paper. He knew that he had completely lost everyone's trust and support. The silence and helplessness of the deaf old lady also completely destroyed her image in everyone's mind.

"I am innocent!" The deaf old lady cried and pointed at Yi Zhonghai who was standing opposite her. "It was him who asked me to pretend to be a martyr's family member. I am just an ordinary old woman. How could I know this?"

Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale in an instant, and he angrily retorted: "You are talking nonsense! It was obviously you who proposed it, and you said that this would get you more care and respect. Now that something has happened, you want to put all the blame on me?"

The deaf old lady was so angry that she was shaking all over. She shouted angrily: "You shameless fellow! Do you think I don't know your plan? Don't you just want to use me and let Jia Dongming and Sha Zhu take care of you in your old age?"

The quarrel between the two became louder and louder, attracting the onlookers of the residents in the courtyard. They may not fully understand the entanglement between the two, but they enjoyed watching such a dramatic conflict.

"Stop arguing!" an old lady couldn't help but interrupt, "We're all neighbors, why are we making such a fuss?"

However, her words did not calm the anger of the two. Yi Zhonghai was so angry at the deaf old lady's revelation that he almost lost control. He pointed at the deaf old lady's nose and cursed: "You old thing, I must be blind to believe you!"

Suddenly, Yi Zhonghai spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground helplessly. The residents were shocked and stepped back. Only the old lady bravely stepped forward and helped Yi Zhonghai up.

"Call an ambulance!" the aunt shouted anxiously, "He's dying!"

However, under Director Xu's gaze, the others seemed to be keeping a wait-and-see attitude. They didn't want to get involved in this dispute, let alone take any responsibility.

At this moment, a tall figure walked out of the crowd. It was Yang Ming, a new resident of the courtyard and also a doctor. He walked over to Yi Zhonghai, briefly checked his condition, and then said, "He has high blood pressure due to emotional excitement. He needs to be sent to the hospital immediately."

Director Xu also came over when he saw this. He looked at Yi Zhonghai lying on the ground, and then said to Yang Ming: "Then please take him to the hospital."

"Everyone, listen to me, this deaf old lady is not a martyr's family member at all!" Director Xu's voice echoed in the courtyard, breaking the usual tranquility.

·…………

"What? How is this possible?" The residents were talking among themselves, with shock and anger written all over their faces.

"I've noticed something's wrong with her for a long time. She's been pretending all day long. Turns out she's a fake!" Aunt Zhang said indignantly.

0 ...

Yi Zhonghai stood aside, looking pale. As an ally of the deaf old lady, he also felt a chill at this moment.

"Director Xu, what do you think we should do?" someone asked.

"I suggest that we cancel her five-guarantee household status and kick her out of the courtyard!" Director Xu said firmly.

"I agree!"

"I agree too!" Residents expressed their support.

In the deaf old lady's hut, she sat on the shabby bed with a pale face. She knew that her good days were over.

At the same time, Yang Ming stood in front of his hut, looking at the deaf old lady's hut, with a trace of greed in his eyes. He had long been eyeing this place, and as the value of the quadrangle continued to increase, the deaf old lady's hut would also become a great wealth for him.

"It's time to take action." Yang Ming said to himself.

At the dining table of the Jia family, the family sat together and discussed the deaf old lady being expelled from the courtyard.

"This deaf old lady really brought this upon herself," said Jia Dongming.
