Chapter 71 Removal of Yi Zhonghai
Those who refused were coerced and bribed by the three old men. Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, along with the deaf old woman behind them, were quite a threat.
If the birds in the courtyard unite, they can fight against a few of them, but they are all used to hiding in the background and letting others stand up for them.
Without He Yuzhu and Xu Damao present, and with neither Li Tieniu nor Zhang Xiaoquan possessing the prestige or strength to confront Yi Zhonghai and his group head-on.
Seeing that Xu Damao and He Yuzhu were not in the yard, Li Tieniu and Zhang Xiaoquan could only go with everyone to wish the deaf old lady a Happy New Year.
Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui immediately led their families to kneel down and kowtow to the deaf old lady, calling her "Ancestor."
Li Tieniu and Zhang Xiaoquan's refusal to speak was their last act of defiance.
Xu Damao went to his parents' house last night. After dinner, it got late, so he stayed at his parents' house to celebrate the New Year.
He Yuzhu and He Yushui went out early in the morning to wish their master a Happy New Year.
Yi Zhonghai won over Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui last night, so dealing with the two of them will be very easy.
After being persuaded by Yi Zhonghai with a few words, and hearing that Deputy District Chief Zeng liked people with filial piety to be leaders, Liu Haizhong happily took the initiative to gather everyone together.
Yan Bugui offered him a small favor, and since the other party also wanted to please the deaf old lady and ask her to find Deputy District Chief Zeng to arrange a job for Yan Jiecheng, he naturally wouldn't object.
Yi Zhonghai wanted to control Liu Haizhong, but Yan Bugui was too easy to deal with. If it were Xu Fugui, it definitely wouldn't be so easy for him.
Yi Zhonghai had discussed this strategy with the deaf old lady for a long time beforehand, and the goal was to get everyone in the courtyard used to obeying him.
Training dogs requires gradually getting everyone used to obeying them. Once the animals in the courtyard have been subtly transformed, Yi Zhonghai will be able to mold them into the way he wants them to be.
First, establish the deaf old lady as everyone's ancestor. Once this is achieved, everyone's obedience will gradually increase on its own.
The deaf old lady received delicious food from everyone and no longer needed his support.
Yi Zhonghai could also transform the courtyard house into the style that best suits his ideas.
This retirement plan is huge, and Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui are all tied to Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady.
Yan Bugui felt that he was helping Yi Zhonghai, which is why he felt justified in asking him to help arrange a job for Yan Jiecheng.
Yi Zhonghai was genuinely thinking of Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui's best interests. Even though they both have many children, none of them will be filial in the future.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui will eventually end up like him, living out their lives alone in the courtyard.
Knowing this, Yi Zhonghai believed he was doing a good deed. Without him, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui would have been kicked out.
However, he couldn't tell Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui these things right now. If Yi Zhonghai said that now, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui would definitely fight him to the death.
He Yuzhu took He Yushui out, and Yi Zhonghai saw them.
Yi Zhonghai deliberately let He Yuzhu leave because he was afraid that He Yuzhu would cause trouble for him at home.
Only after Yi Zhonghai watched He Yuzhu leave could he punish him.
With Li Tieniu and Zhang Xiaoquan left, they were no match for each other, and sure enough, things went smoothly from there.
Under the combined pressure of Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, and several others, everyone kowtowed to the deaf old lady.
Whether they are sincere or forced, once they get used to doing this, they will gradually learn to respect deaf elderly women.
The influence of the three elders, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui, will only grow stronger in this courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai then planned to use the momentum of everyone's submission to force He Yuzhu to kowtow as well. After all, everyone else had compromised, and they certainly wouldn't want to see anyone not to compromise.
Yi Zhonghai knew the mentality of the birds in the courtyard well; since they had all kowtowed, they naturally wouldn't agree to anyone not kowtowing.
By manipulating the will of the crowd, they forced He Yuzhu to kowtow to the deaf old lady. If He Yuzhu refused, the birds in the courtyard would unite against him.
Yi Zhonghai also tried to win over Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, just in case He Yuzhu, that brute, would make a move.
Yi Zhonghai believed he had thought everything through before he started to lash out at He Yuzhu.
Unfortunately, Yi Zhonghai guessed the beginning but not the ending.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui saw He Yuzhu slap Yi Zhonghai viciously with red eyes and kick him away, and the two of them were so frightened that they dared not speak.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui dared not provoke trouble at this moment, as He Yuzhu clearly looked drunk.
Even if you included their son, they wouldn't be a match for He Yuzhu, let alone the two of them. They didn't want to get beaten up during the New Year.
With the handprint on my face, I can't go to wish others a Happy New Year.
Director Wang was very unhappy during the Chinese New Year, as he had long known about the messy and absurd things that had happened in Courtyard No. 95.
Unexpectedly, this year, Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady have come up with a new trick again.
Just like He Yuzhu said, the Qing Dynasty is over, so why is there another ancestor? Do you think you are Empress Dowager Cixi?
If it weren't for the sake of Deputy District Head Zeng, Director Wang would have loved to kick those two people out of Nanluoguxiang.
"Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, what are you trying to do? Do you want to restore the Qing Dynasty?"
Upon hearing Director Wang's words, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui collapsed to the ground.
That was too harsh a statement for Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui to accept.
"Director Wang, it's not my fault. It was Yi Zhonghai who told us to pay our respects to the deaf old lady."
"Director Wang, I'm innocent. It was all Old Yi, Yi Zhonghai's request. I just didn't dare to go against them."
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui quickly betrayed Yi Zhonghai. They weren't even considering Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady, or Deputy District Chief Zeng; they just wanted to shift the blame first.
The deaf old lady hid in the house, lying on the bed pretending to be asleep.
Normally, she could use his name to intimidate others, but when it came to Director Wang, the deaf old lady knew she couldn't show her face.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you. Go to your workplaces after the New Year and explain things yourselves. I hope you can still continue working."
Director Wang was just trying to scare them a little. He was putting himself through the trouble during the Spring Festival so that they would have to be on tenterhooks for a few days.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were completely panicked. Were they going to be fired?
Yi Zhonghai is now only able to stubbornly deny everything, knowing that once the evidence is confirmed, he will definitely suffer the consequences.
"Director Wang, we are just showing filial piety to the elders in the hospital. Is that wrong?"
"Yi Zhonghai, don't bother with your twisted logic. First, I'm announcing your dismissal from your position as liaison officer for the courtyard. Second, the three of you will need to clean the alley for three months after the New Year and write a 3,000-word self-criticism. Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, you're both in your fifties or sixties, can't you use your brains a little more? You believe everything people say."
Director Wang left in a huff.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui directly pulled Yi Zhonghai aside and demanded an explanation.
Seeing the three stewards fighting like dogs, the birds finally laughed happily.
He Yuzhu went straight back to his room to sleep. Li Tieniu and Zhang Xiaoquan, who had originally planned to discuss the next steps with He Yuzhu, had no choice but to give up.
He Yushui pulled Li Xiaoman and Zhang Panpan aside to listen to their stories of what had happened during the day.
Li Xiaoman and Zhang Panpan were also very curious as to why He Yushui had called Director Wang so quickly.
How He Yushui managed to summon Director Wang so quickly is a rather complicated matter.
He Yuzhu considered that there were many problems in the courtyard house, so that if something happened in the future, He Yushui could find a place to complain.
However, he took He Yushui to the nearby police station, the neighborhood office, and even Director Wang's house.
All of this was planned and prepared in advance by He Yuzhu.
So today, He Yuzhu said one sentence and He Yushui rode her bike straight to Director Wang's house.
When they arrived there, they told Director Wang about the situation, and Director Wang was furious on the spot.
I never imagined that such a small courtyard house could house so many brilliant minds.
Director Wang now deeply regrets not resisting the pressure and letting the deaf old lady return from the nursing home.
Director Wang's husband also works in the district, and he's a full-fledged official. After hearing his wife's account of the No. 95 compound, the deaf old lady, and Deputy District Head Zeng, he was also quite indignant.
The other party understood Deputy District Chief Zeng's predicament, after all, it was a life-saving grace. If Deputy District Chief Zeng acted too coldly, it would make people question his character.
After all, Chinese people tend to side with their relatives regardless of right or wrong. Even if the deaf old lady was wicked, she still had done a great favor for Deputy District Chief Zeng.
However, they couldn't let the deaf old lady continue to cause trouble, otherwise, if something serious happened, their own daughter-in-law would be the first to be harmed.
The district head called Deputy District Head Zeng directly and explained in detail what happened at the courtyard today.
Deputy District Chief Zeng was both amused and exasperated, admitting that he had misjudged people, even though what they had done was not illegal.
It's really frustrating to be stuck with someone like that sometimes.
Deputy District Chief Zeng is now extremely disappointed with the deaf old lady; she really is someone who dares to take advantage of anyone who gives her a little face.
I can't continue to give her any more conveniences, otherwise she might do something big under my name.
He Yuzhu woke up around 9 p.m. and went straight to his space to take a hot shower.
They went out to continue feeding the livestock, chickens, ducks, and fish. After wandering around the field, they picked a lot of vegetables, including a few tomatoes and cucumbers.
I made two side dishes in the kitchen, drank a bowl of rice porridge, and then reviewed the TV series "Full House of Love".
next day
The courtyard house was bustling again. When He Yuzhu went out, he saw Xu Damao running around excitedly in the yard.
He didn't come back to the courtyard yesterday, and he just got back today and heard about the big show that happened yesterday.
Xu Damao slapped his thigh in regret, wishing he had come back to the courtyard house sooner.
Xu Damao, who thrives on chaos, absolutely loves this kind of storyline.
Hearing that the three old men were so scared they turned into limp shrimps made him burst into laughter.
After what happened yesterday, the birds in the courtyard looked at the three old men as if they were clowns.
It turns out that these three usually arrogant old men are actually afraid. In particular, the deaf old lady was so scared yesterday that she dared not go out, which made the birds, who have been suffering for the past six months, feel extremely happy.
Yesterday, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui forced everyone to kowtow to a deaf old lady, which disgusted many people.
