The deaf old lady saw all this but did not try to stop it, for she knew very well that it would be useless to try to stop it.

Only if Yi Zhonghai suffers will he remember it.

The steel mill paid wages that day. Yi Zhonghai kept 200,000 yuan as pocket money and gave the rest to the aunt.

The old lady looked at the money and felt a little worried.

"When will this life end? Most of your monthly salary will be spent on Dongxu."

Yi Zhonghai said angrily: "If Shazhu had been obedient, I wouldn't have to spend so much. And you don't have to complain. When Dongxu passes the second-level fitter exam, it won't be so difficult?"

An old lady asked, "How is Dongxu doing? If he's really not doing well, don't hold back."

Yi Zhonghai said aggrievedly: "I have already tried my best, but he just won't get the hang of it. What do you want me to do?"

Not wanting to talk about this with the old lady, Yi Zhonghai went to the backyard.

The deaf old lady saw him and asked, "What have you thought about what I said? Even if you put your hopes on Dongxu, it's always a good idea to have a backup!"

Yi Zhonghai felt that the world was so big that there was no place for him.

At home, an old lady complained about not having enough money saved, but when she came to the deaf old lady, she forced her to find a backup plan.

"I'm optimistic about a child."

The deaf old lady became interested and asked quickly: "Tell me about the situation."

Yi Zhonghai said: "He just came to our factory. He used to be a country boy. I tested him and he respected me. More importantly, he is a good fighter. No one in our workshop can match him.

I think I can be as good as Shazhu."

The deaf old lady didn't care about that: "So how is his cooking?"

Yi Zhonghai said with a smile: "He is from the countryside, he has no experience, how can he have cooking skills?"

The deaf old lady lowered her head in disappointment.

She just wanted to find someone to cook delicious food to satisfy her appetite, why was it so difficult?

Yi Zhonghai explained: "Old lady, our place is a steel mill, not a restaurant. There are no good cooks in the factory. Besides, I am in the workshop and have no way to contact the people in the kitchen."

The deaf old lady also knew that it was difficult for Yi Zhonghai to find someone who could cook. Although this person was not to her liking, she had no other choice.

"That's him. What's his name?"

Yi Zhonghai was relieved when he saw the deaf old lady nod. Although there were many people these days, there were too few who met his retirement requirements.

"His name is Wu Tiezhu, and he's from the countryside in Miyun."

"From Miyun? How did he get into the steel mill?"

Yi Zhonghai explained: "He is from the same village as Wu, the cadre of the steel plant labor union. He got in through his connections. Don't worry, I found out that they are not related.

Wu Tiezhu is still living in the factory dormitory.

The deaf old lady was relieved: "This is related to your retirement, you must ask clearly. It is not okay for him to live in a dormitory all the time."

Yi Zhonghai smiled bitterly and said, "I thought so too. It would be great if he could live in our courtyard. Unfortunately, there are no empty houses in our courtyard. If I had known earlier, I would have asked Director Pan to leave two empty houses."

The deaf old lady shook her head: "It's impossible to keep the house. If you really want to keep it, can you not give it to Dongxu? If you give it to Dongxu, how can you control the Jia family?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed, feeling that everything was not going as he wished: "Now only Shazhu's family has an empty house, can you think of a solution?"

The deaf old lady thought for a while, but still refused: "Shazhu's house is private, the street office can't control it. Besides, Director Pan has been transferred, and I can't even have a say in the street office now."

"What should we do? If we don't keep the person under our watch, I can't feel at ease." Yi Zhonghai sighed. Not only he couldn't feel at ease, but the deaf old lady couldn't feel at ease either. The old person Yi Zhonghai found had to accept his test, and only if he passed, she would agree.

The two thought for a while, then raised their heads at the same time.

"We can force one family to leave and make room for Wu Tiezhu."

They are indeed beasts, their minds are equally vicious.

Yi Zhonghai immediately started thinking about whose family to force out: "Old lady, what do you think about forcing Li Dagen's family out? He is close to Sha Zhu. If we force him out, Sha Zhu's hands and feet will be cut off."

The deaf old lady asked, "How do you force them to leave?"

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and said, "I will find a fault with his family and let the people in the courtyard isolate him."

The deaf old lady rejected the proposal: "It won't work. Don't forget that the old Yan family has been isolating his family. But do you see how bad their life is?
His family is not only doing well, but is getting better and better.”

"Then I will get the whole courtyard to vote and kick his family out." Yi Zhonghai didn't believe that as the boss of the courtyard, he couldn't kick out someone he didn't like.

The deaf old lady continued to refuse: "No way. You forgot, Sha Zhu said that you three uncles don't have the power to chase people away. If the situation gets out of hand and the street office finds out, your liaison officer won't be able to keep his position."

Yi Zhonghai said dejectedly: "This won't work, and that won't work either. Should we just let Wu Tiezhu live somewhere else? In that case, is it necessary for us to bother looking for him to take care of us in our old age?"

The deaf old lady asked, "What do you think of Zhang Yuping's family next door?"

"Him?" Yi Zhonghai carefully recalled the situation in Zhang Yuping's family.

The Zhang family is usually quite transparent, and Yi Zhonghai doesn't know much about them. He only knows that Zhang Yuping's family consists of three people, a couple with a five-year-old son.

The deaf old lady explained: "Look, drive his family away and let Wu Tiezhu live next door to my house. I can help you win him over."

Yi Zhonghai is an extremely selfish person. He will not trust anyone, even if the person is a deaf old lady.

Wu Tiezhu was placed under the deaf old lady's nose, and he could easily be controlled by her, so she might not listen to him in the future.

He found Wu Tiezhu not only as a backup, but also to find a helper for the Jia family. How could he help the Jia family under the eyes of the deaf old lady?

"Why not let him live in the middle courtyard?"

"Is there any house in the central courtyard? Do you still want him to live in the cross courtyard? Those people in the cross courtyard don't have great abilities, but they have a lot of bad intentions. Can you let him contact those people without worrying about it?" the deaf old lady asked back.

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and said, "I plan to arrange for him to stay at Gao Sheng's house in the corridor of the middle courtyard. Gao Sheng is a taciturn person and doesn't have many friends. It's easier to get rid of him."

Wu Tiezhu can help the Jia family if he lives there. With his help, the Jia family will have a much better life. That way, Cuilan and I will have more energy to take care of you."

The deaf old lady understood that this was Yi Zhonghai's condition. She still had to rely on Yi Zhonghai rather than Wu Tiezhu, whom she didn't know.

"Well, let's do as you say!"

Yi Zhonghai smiled with satisfaction: "Then how do we drive Gao Sheng away?"

We definitely cannot blatantly drive Gao Sheng away. Doing so will easily cause resentment among the people in the hospital.

Moreover, not everyone in the courtyard obeyed their arrangements. There were too many people who wanted to see them suffer.

Yi Zhonghai had no idea what to do and had to ask the deaf old lady for help.

The deaf old lady did not refuse: "I remember he worked in a glass factory? Well, I'll find someone to arrange a job for him far away. Then he won't be able to live here. But you have to find a way to get his house."

Yi Zhonghai patted his chest and said it was no problem.

The two of them acted very quickly, and in less than half a month, they had finished everything. Only then did the people in the hospital know that Gao Sheng had moved. Before anyone could react, Wu Tiezhu had already moved in. (End of this chapter)
