Chapter 45 Yi Zhonghai's Powerful Theory
It's no exaggeration to say that Yi Zhonghai has a vivid imagination; he's such a conspirator that he assumes everyone else is like him.
I never expected that the deaf old lady had come back in a car last time.
If the deaf old lady really had influence with Deputy District Chief Zeng, why wasn't she given a car to see her off this time?
However, Yi Zhonghai subconsciously overlooked this issue, or rather, he didn't understand the differences in these treatments.
The deaf old lady believed she had fooled everyone, so she just needed to avoid bothering Deputy District Chief Zeng.
Deputy District Chief Zeng certainly wouldn't deliberately expose her, so that she could continue to deceive everyone in the courtyard.
You can't control He Yuzhu, and you can't control anyone else either.
Even if we can't eat the food cooked by He Yuzhu himself, we can still eat meat.
The deaf old lady reflected on why she had failed this time and realized it was because she was too anxious.
We shouldn't have used Deputy District Chief Zeng's card without being prepared; it's clear that Sha Zhu isn't so easy to handle either.
Judging Sha Zhu with the old, outdated perspective won't work. The deaf old lady, shrewd as she is, realized after this encounter that He Yuzhu was not someone to be trifled with.
It's certain she's plotting against Sha Zhu. She's already so old; even if she gets caught, she won't be afraid.
For the sake of food, she wouldn't mind doing something big. However, she must be well-prepared next time and not act rashly, which actually diminished her favor with Deputy District Chief Zeng.
The deaf old woman knew that Deputy District Chief Zeng, as a leader, would never dare to deny the debt of gratitude she owed him. As long as this debt of gratitude remained, and as long as what she did wasn't too outrageous, he would have to cover for her.
Even next time, there might not be any need to send Deputy District Chief Zeng. The deaf old lady felt she needed to elevate her status in the courtyard, if only she could truly become the matriarch.
Then Sha Zhu wouldn't dare to oppose her, otherwise the people in the courtyard would gang up on him.
The deaf old lady sat there, constantly reviewing her actions and plotting her path to fame.
Anyway, she doesn't need to go to work and doesn't get much sleep. She has plenty of time to scheme every day, so it's impossible for her not to scheme about Sha Zhu's meals.
She's such an old lady, what's wrong with wanting to eat something nice?
Xu Fugui and Xu Damao both felt that the deaf old lady would not let He Yuzhu off the hook this time she returned.
The deaf old lady broke her leg in the middle of the night, and soon after, she was forced to donate all her belongings and hide in a nursing home.
These things must be inextricably linked to He Yuzhu. According to Lao Xu's deduction, the deaf old lady must hate He Yuzhu to death.
With the deaf old lady now backed by Deputy District Chief Zeng, she's bound to take revenge on He Yuzhu.
To avoid being caught in the crossfire, Xu Fugui warned Xu Damao not to get too close to He Yuzhu lately.
Xu Damao was already jealous of He Yuzhu, that fool, for being better than him. Now, after hearing Lao Xu's analysis, he felt secretly pleased with himself.
He was just waiting to see He Yuzhu make a fool of himself, so he could go up close and ridicule the silly Zhu.
Xu Damao simply cannot bear to see He Yuzhu being more outstanding than him, and he cannot allow anyone in the courtyard to be more awesome than him, Xu Damao.
Not only Xu Fugui, but Yan Bugui also told his family to distance themselves from He Yuzhu recently.
Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, and Yang Ruihua wholeheartedly agreed. They were the kind of people who wouldn't do anything without a profit, and since Sha Zhu wouldn't let them benefit, they were actually hoping Sha Zhu would suffer.
Yan Bugui also harbored resentment towards He Yuzhu for bringing back good things every day but never showing filial piety to him.
He always managed to gain an advantage over the other people in the courtyard whenever they came back, but he never managed to gain an advantage over He Yuzhu.
For Yan Bugui, not being able to gain an advantage is a loss. He's naturally happy when He Yuzhu, who often makes him suffer, is in trouble.
Zhang Panpan's father was a cautious man. When he sensed that something was wrong, he forbade Zhang Panpan from associating with He Yushui.
Xu Fugui did not forbid Xu Xiaoling from associating with He Yushui.
Perhaps Xu Fugui thought that the deaf old lady wouldn't harm a small child.
At the same time, it also leaves a way out. In case He Yuzhu withstands the deaf old lady's revenge, the Xu family and the He family will not become strangers.
The key point is that Xu Fugui is about to leave the courtyard house, and he doesn't want Xu Damao to face those people in the courtyard house alone.
Li Tieniu also did not allow Li Xiaoman and He Yushui to keep their distance.
Although Li Tieniu has only recently moved into the courtyard, he already knows quite a bit about what happened there in the past.
Li Tieniu looked down on the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai, and the Jia Zhang family.
Even though the other party is not what it used to be, Li Tieniu is too lazy to flatter him.
In Li Tieniu's mind, Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady, and the Jia Zhang family were all people with wicked intentions.
Such people may be successful for a time, but they will face retribution in the future. Li Tieniu, who is also a parent, feels sorry for He Yuzhu and He Yushui.
Those two old bastards forced He Daqing to run away for their own selfish reasons.
Is it possible for a human being to let He Yuzhu, a mere sixteen-year-old boy, raise his seven-year-old sister on his own?
He Yuzhu accepted Li Tieniu's kindness.
This is also why He Yuzhu thinks highly of Li Tieniu. Compared to the fickle Xu Fugui, He Yuzhu prefers to have close ties with Li Tieniu.
Recently, He Yuzhu and Li Tieniu have been drinking together frequently. Originally, it was Xu Fugui who often dragged Li Tieniu along, and occasionally He Yuzhu would also join them for drinks.
Since they all lived in the backyard, Xu Fugui looked down on Liu Haizhong, who was a good-for-nothing, so he naturally got along well with Li Tieniu.
Although Li Tieniu knew that Xu Fugui wasn't exactly a good teacher or friend, he wouldn't offend him. He just needed to be careful not to treat him as a close confidant.
However, when the deaf old lady returned this time, Xu Fugui took the initiative to distance himself from He Yuzhu and Li Tieniu.
He Yuzhu stopped talking. He distanced himself from Li Tieniu because the house he was living in now was the old house of the deaf old lady.
Xu Fugui always tends to overthink things. He thinks that if the deaf old lady were to seek revenge, He Yuzhu would be number one, and Li Tieniu would be number two.
Even though he knew that the house Li Tieniu lived in was allocated to him by the neighborhood committee and had nothing to do with Li Tieniu.
Xu Fugui just felt that they would be severely punished by the deaf old lady.
He Yuzhu and Li Tieniu talked about Xu Fugui's fickle nature, and they both raised their glasses and smiled at each other.
True friendship is revealed in times of adversity. Xu Fugui's actions may have helped him avoid some disasters.
But he is also destined not to have a true friend to face difficulties with him.
Yesterday you ignored me, tomorrow you'll be begging for my attention.
He Yuzhu knew the inside story, but he was too lazy to tell the people in the courtyard. Or rather, he knew that even if he told them, they wouldn't believe him.
Because Director Wang of the subdistrict office had a good relationship with He Yuzhu, he knew a lot about the situation in courtyard No. 95.
She also saw the deputy district head's attitude towards the deaf old lady.
As a subordinate, Director Wang would not stop the other party.
But she also has her own bottom line; it's impossible for her to fawn over a deaf old lady.
The neighborhood office has provided all the benefits that the "Five Guarantees" households are entitled to.
Each time, it was a clerk from below who would come and deliver it to the deaf old lady.
Director Wang has also delivered these supplies, but he never comes to courtyard number 95.
This is actually a kind of attitude, but no one in the courtyard understood it. They didn't understand it either, and were completely intimidated by the deaf old lady's boasting.
They only see the deaf old lady here; every month, a neighborhood committee member comes to personally deliver things to her.
Then everyone felt that the deaf old lady was very powerful, and with the powerful Deputy District Chief Zeng in charge, everyone felt inferior in front of her.
Using these real and fake items, the deaf old woman began to act like a tyrant in the courtyard.
No matter which restaurant has the best food, she would go there on her crutches when it was time to eat.
The other party couldn't refuse, partly because they lacked the courage, and partly because they secretly wanted to curry favor with the deaf old lady.
Subconsciously, everyone felt that since they were already cooking delicious food at home, adding a deaf old lady wouldn't make a difference.
It's not worth offending her. Let her take advantage of you so that if they ever need anything in the future, they'll have to come to her for help.
Ordinary people can't get to know those in power, so when they see someone like that around them, they want to get closer to them.
The deaf old lady took advantage of this mentality to confidently go to everyone's house for meals.
Yi Zhonghai also kept urging the deaf old lady to be the matriarch of the courtyard, and that everyone should be filial to her.
At the same time, the theories that parents are always right, people shouldn't be too selfish, and neighbors should help each other are being widely promoted.
This theory appears to be sound on the surface, and everyone can even find their own preferred points of support for it.
For example, parents hope their children will understand them. No matter what they do, the children shouldn't blame them.
For example, those who like to take advantage of others like this kind of thinking: one shouldn't be too selfish, and neighbors should help each other.
Using this theory, Jia Zhangshi was able to borrow things from other people's homes.
The problem is that Jia Zhangshi never repays her loans.
According to Jia Zhangshi's theory, why should I repay what I borrowed through my own abilities?
There are several people in the courtyard who borrowed money from He Yuzhu and haven't paid it back for over a year.
When He Yuzhu asked about it, the other party used this theory to refute He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu would usually just smile and stop pressing for payment.
However, He Yuzhu blocked all of them and would not associate with them again in the future.
As for that money, we'll find a way to make them pay the price.
The wind and rain in the courtyard house were actually minor issues, as He Yuzhu was always out early and back late.
The He family and the birds in the courtyard didn't really have much in common.
He Yushui was a child, and at most he would play with Li Xiaoman and Xu Xiaoling at his own home.
The houses in Fuxiang Hutong have now been built, and the new houses are definitely better than the old ones.
The house is fully furnished, and He Yuzhu also bought some bedding for the main room and added some toiletries to the bathroom.
Even the kitchen has a full set of pots and pans, since people occasionally come here to cook something.
Qin Huairu was quite surprised when she first came here with He Yuzhu.
She really didn't expect that He Yuzhu actually had such a big and nice yard outside.
