Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

For the next period of time, a strange scene appeared in the courtyard.

Yan Bugui, the uncle who would taste the saltiness of every manure cart he saw passing by, actually bought meat.

It would have been fine if he had just bought the meat, but what was even more unbelievable was that he actually delivered it to the deaf old lady.

You know, throughout the year, the Yan family would only buy half a pound of meat and make dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

At other times, I could only eat some salted fish from the Yan family, but I could never eat any other meat.

Many people are discussing this matter.

He Yuzhu's family was also discussing it.

"Xu Damao, have you heard the news?"

He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai didn't have a good relationship. There was no way to get information from his family.

Xu Damao has a good relationship with the Liu and Yan families, so he can find out some things.

"I heard from Yan Jiefang that it seemed that the first uncle agreed to accept Yan Jie as his disciple. The third uncle was filial to the deaf old lady."

He Yuzhu shook his head: "No. With Yan Bugui's personality, he would definitely not honor the deaf old lady just by accepting Yan Jie as his disciple."

The benefits of becoming a disciple belong to Yan Jiecheng, and have nothing to do with Yan Bugui.

If there is no benefit, how could Yan Bugui be willing to spend money to honor the deaf old lady?

Xu Damao said: "I also know it's wrong. But Yan Jiefang only knows this much.

The three uncles did a great job keeping it a secret this time, and the children at home didn’t know about it.”

He Yuzhu thought about it and could only guess that it was related to the identity of the liaison officer. As for what it was specifically, he couldn't say.

Yi Zhonghai was absolutely unwilling to lose the management rights of Siheyuan. Without Siheyuan, he could not live in peace in his old age.

The current situation is different from that of Sha Zhu's time.

At that time, Yi Zhonghai was the local tyrant of Siheyuan. There was nothing he couldn't accomplish.

The entire courtyard was under his control. Under his influence, Sha Zhu also became the old Huang of the Jia family.

The courtyard house is the toy in his hand.

Therefore, after the movement began, Yi Zhonghai was able to retreat behind the scenes with peace of mind.

Because he knew that it made no difference to him whether he was in charge or not.

Liu Haizhong couldn't stop him from doing anything he wanted to do.

It’s different now. Yi Zhonghai has never been in control of the Siheyuan.

Under such circumstances, how could he feel at ease to give up the management rights of the courtyard house?

However, He Yuzhu couldn’t figure out what this had to do with their filial piety to the deaf old lady.

He Yuzhu told Xu Damao his guess.

Xu Damao said: "That's right. The three of them have been promoting respecting the elderly to others recently.

I've seen several of them and they're all attractive.

Do you think we should cause them some trouble?"

He Yuzhu said: "Don't move. In recent days, three people have been trying to win people's hearts in the courtyard, and the effect is not bad.

Once you make a move, they will use you to gain power.”

"What are you afraid of? They are no longer liaison officers. I am not afraid of them." Xu Damao said nonchalantly, "You are too timid."

He Yuzhu said: "This is not a question of whether you are timid or not. It is really unnecessary. If you fight with a group of old, weak and disabled people, it will be disgraceful if you lose, and you won't gain any advantage if you win.

Why bother with them? Isn't it better to live a peaceful life? "

Xu Damao disagreed with He Yuzhu's statement, but did not say anything else.

On the other hand, Yan Bugui's passion faded and he began to regret it. Every time he gave meat to the deaf old lady, he felt distressed when he saw her eating it with relish. It was as if the deaf old lady was eating his flesh.

"Lao Yi, the old lady is so old, it's not good for her to always eat like this!"

Yi Zhonghai couldn't stand it either. The key point was that when it was his turn to buy meat, he had to buy at least double the amount.

One portion is for the deaf old lady, and this cannot be missing. If it is missing, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui will complain.

The other was for Qin Huairu. If she gave too little, Jia Zhang would scold her and Qin Huairu would cry.

Also, when Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui's families cooked meat, Qin Huairu would cry and beg him. He could give it to Qin Huairu himself, but he didn't have the ability to let these two families also support the Jia family.

Taking turns cooking meat not only failed to reduce his burden, but increased it.

"Old Yan, the old lady is delicious, what do you say we should do?"

Yan Bugui had no choice but to suggest: "We have been honoring the old lady for so long, she should go and look for Director Pan.

Now that we have regained our status as the steward, we can also call on everyone in the courtyard to honor the old lady together."

Yi Zhonghai agreed without thinking, and then found Liu Haizhong to discuss with the deaf old lady.

Liu Haizhong couldn't stand it anymore.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu's arms are still not healed, so they can't do anything. They need to supplement their nutrition every day.

If you calculate it this way, his expenses are actually not small.

If it weren't for the desire to compete with Yi Zhonghai, he would have quit long ago.

When the deaf old lady saw the three people coming together, she knew she couldn't delay any longer and agreed to go find Director Pan.

Go see Director Pan, but don’t bring so many people with you.

Yi Zhonghai took a special leave and found Yan Jiefang, and they took the deaf old lady out together.

Director Pan now works in the Finance Bureau and is the executive deputy director of the Finance Bureau, holding considerable power.

When he saw the deaf old lady, he was still as enthusiastic as before.

"Madam, why are you here?"

The deaf old lady sighed: "I came to see you. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

Director Pan said: "I'm too busy at work. I'll come to see you when I have time."

The deaf old lady chatted with Director Pan about the past, which brought the two closer together.

When he saw that the fire was almost ready, he said, "I came here to ask you for a favor.

Xiao Yi, you are the one who promised to take care of my child, do you still remember? "

Director Pan thought for a while before saying, "It must be the seventh-level worker from the steel mill!"

The deaf old lady said, "Yes, that's him. He is a filial child who has been taking care of me for so many years. During those years when we didn't have much to eat, he would rather not eat himself and save the food for me."

Director Pan said: "It's really not easy for him to stick with it for so many years. I want to thank him for taking such good care of you."

The deaf old lady said: "I came here this time because of him. You know, he is a kind-hearted person.

The children in our yard have grown up, but the street office refuses to assign them jobs.

He saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

Someone said that Sha Zhu had a job quota, so he wanted to persuade Sha Zhu to give up the job quota.

It's just that he had a quick temper and did something bad with good intentions, which was seen by Director Wang from the Street Office.

Director Wang not only revoked his status as a liaison officer, but also had the steel mill punish him.

He is in a very bad situation now, I hope you can help him."

After hearing this, Director Pan was full of admiration for Yi Zhonghai. In addition, he agreed to help the deaf old lady because of her request.

"I'll go see Director Wang in a couple of days. I believe she will give me this favor."

With Director Pan's assurance, the deaf old lady smiled with satisfaction. Then she talked about Yang Peishan's lack of face and hoped that Director Pan would intervene.

Director Pan believed that the deaf old lady would not lie, so he agreed.

After finishing these things, the deaf old lady was about to leave.

Director Pan wanted to send her off, but she refused, saying that the neighbors in the courtyard were waiting for her outside.

Director Pan, now you can rest assured.

After coming out of Director Pan’s room, the deaf old lady breathed a sigh of relief.

She was not sure that Director Pan would agree, so she did not agree to let Yi Zhonghai come in. She asked Yi Zhonghai to wait outside.

Now that Director Pan has agreed, she has finally completed her mission and will no longer be regarded as a useless old lady by Yi Zhonghai. (End of this chapter)
