Siheyuan: Let Yourself Go He Yuzhu

Chapter 102 Chapter 101 Knocked Xu Damao and the Deaf Old Lady
Seeing that He Yuzhu neither gave him a gift nor treated him with respect, but instead spoke to him as if it was a matter of course, Liu Haizhong became extremely angry and was ready to slam the table and chase He Yuzhu away.

Just as Liu Haizhong was about to speak, Liu Guangtian tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"Silly...Zhu Zi, go back first. I will consider your request." Liu Haizhong said while suppressing his indignation.

"Dad, what do you want to do? Brother Zhuzi is the leader now. No matter how much you dislike him, you can't offend Brother Zhuzi. If you offend Brother Zhuzi and he says a few bad things about you in front of the leader, do you still want to be a leader?" Liu Guangtian said.

"He dares?" Liu Haizhong said angrily.

"What is there for Brother Zhuzi to be afraid of? Although I may not have the ability to let you be a leader, it is easy for me to cause trouble for you and sabotage you secretly, isn't it?" Liu Guangtian sneered.

Liu Haizhong was no longer convinced, and there was a hint of fear on his face.

"Besides, why did Brother Zhuzi come to you? It's because you have the most prestige in this courtyard. Even the leaders have recognized your prestige. Why don't you take this opportunity to hold a meeting of the whole courtyard to consolidate your prestige?"

"If you help Brother Zhuzi, Brother Zhuzi will certainly help you. The street lord will praise you when he hears about this. He may even restore your status as the second uncle. No, it should be said that you can restore your status as the first uncle. Why not do it?" Liu Guangtian said.

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he was happy. After thinking about it carefully, Liu Haizhong felt that Liu Guangtian was right.

"A leader like Sha Zhu has to ask me to hold a Siheyuan meeting when he returns to the Siheyuan. This shows that this Siheyuan cannot do without me." Liu Haizhong thought complacently in his heart.

Immediately, Liu Haizhong asked Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to notify everyone to hold a meeting of the entire institute in ten minutes.

This is the first academy-wide meeting since Yi Zhonghai's death. Siheyuan used to hold a academy-wide meeting every now and then. After such a long absence, everyone missed it a little.

At Liu Haizhong's strong request, the deaf old lady also had to attend the whole hospital meeting. The deaf old lady vaguely felt something was wrong, so she used her leg pain as an excuse to not go out.

Unfortunately, things are different now than before. The deaf old lady is not protected by Yi Zhonghai. Liu Haizhong doesn’t care whether your leg really hurts or not. He directly orders Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to put the deaf old lady on a chair, and then carry her and the chair to the Central Court to attend the meeting of the whole court.

In the entire courtyard, everyone came except Qin Huairu who was in confinement at home.

Qin Huairu knew that the Jia family was now in the most dangerous time and could not withstand any turmoil, so she sent Qin's mother to attend the courtyard meeting to show her respect for Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong was very satisfied with Qin Huairu's behavior. He felt a little proud at first, but then he saw Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu holding papers and notebooks, intending to take notes. The complacency in his heart immediately disappeared without a trace.

This is what He Yuzhu instructed Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to do. In the future, all the meetings of the whole courtyard must be equipped with a recorder to record the contents of the whole courtyard meeting and submit it to the street. This greatly restricts the rights of the uncles in the courtyards, preventing them from taking advantage of the power and doing whatever they want.

"Tonight, I, the former second uncle, have convened a meeting of the entire institute at the request of Deputy Director He. Now, please invite Deputy Director He to come up and speak." Liu Haizhong said.

Liu Haizhong did not make a long speech, put on airs, or speak in an official tone, because he knew that his every word and action would be recorded. Fearing that this would offend Director Wang, he suppressed his desires and kept things simple.

Although he spoke less, his prestige could not be ignored, and Liu Hai's words still seemed to indicate that he was stepping on He Yuzhu to show off his ability.

He Yuzhu was too lazy to pay attention to Liu Haizhong, and stood up and said, "Sorry for wasting everyone's time. I'll take out two eggs and make a big pot of chicken soup for everyone to drink. Just consider it as an apology to everyone."

When the animals in the courtyard heard that there was an advantage to be gained, they immediately became excited and cheered for He Yuzhu's righteousness.

Beat two eggs to make a big pot of egg soup. Even though it is very watery, it is egg soup after all, which is much better than boiled water.

"Today, I asked Liu Haizhong, the former mediator of our hospital, to convene a meeting of the entire hospital for a simple reason, which is to settle accounts with Xu Damao and the deaf old lady!"

"Today is the day for my blind date with the girl, but Xu Damao and the deaf old lady didn't care and wanted to ruin my good fortune. Xu Damao took the opportunity when the girl went to the toilet to block her and said bad things about me and threw dirty water on me; and the deaf old lady chased to the matchmaker's house after the matchmaker and the girl left, and tried her best to ruin my good fortune."

"As the saying goes: It is better to destroy ten temples than to ruin a marriage. What kind of behavior are you doing? You are beasts! Beasts worse than pigs and dogs!"

"Xu Damao, deaf old lady, if you don't give me an explanation today, don't blame me for being rude!" He Yuzhu said harshly and unceremoniously.

"Shazhu, stop talking nonsense. When did I interfere with your blind date?" Xu Damao shouted loudly, looking like he was wronged.

Xu Damao naturally would not admit such a thing. If he admitted it, Xu Damao would really become a born bad person and his reputation would be completely ruined.

At this point, once your reputation is ruined, there is no possibility of advancement at all.

Although the deaf old lady was frightened in her heart, she remained expressionless on her face. She pretended to be deaf and dumb, and lay sickly on the chair.

He Yuzhu sneered, glanced coldly at the arrogant Xu Damao and the deaf old lady, then waved towards the house.

Matchmaker Wang and Wang Xiulan came out of the house and told each other what had happened today.

Xu Damao and the deaf old lady's faces changed drastically in an instant!
Neither Xu Damao nor the deaf old lady expected He Yuzhu to play this trick and directly invite people here, which is equivalent to tearing off their relationships.

The reason why the deaf old lady dared to openly ruin He Yuzhu's blind date was that she believed that He Yuzhu would not tear his face off and would only beat Xu Damao up and be done with it.

"You are in the same group. Who knows if you are working together to set up this trap?" Xu Damao rolled his eyes and spoke.

Xu Damao was stubborn and refused to admit it. This kind of thing can only be said with words, without any evidence. Xu Damao was sure that as long as he refused to admit it, He Yuzhu would not be able to do anything to him.

If He Yuzhu lost his temper and beat himself up, then He Yuzhu's right would become wrong.

"I'm not a worker in charge, so I won't talk about evidence. Since you don't admit it, I'll notify the factory and the street office tomorrow and let them investigate."

"It just so happens that I heard that the investigation team has left a small group of people in the steel mill. They are experts in Xing Xun. I'm willing to take the risk and ask them to help investigate. I don't believe that they can't figure this out."

"Xu Damao, deaf old lady, don't blame me for not informing you in advance. Once the matter is investigated and made public, Xu Damao, you will definitely be labeled as a person of corrupt morals. Even if the steel mill does not fire you, you will never be able to climb up in your life. No one will allow a person of corrupt morals to be a leader. You can't even pass the simplest trial."

"And you, deaf old lady, it would be better if you admit it now. If you don't admit it, once they find out the truth, you will have to go to a nursing home to fend for yourself." He Yuzhu said coldly.

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, Xu Damao and the deaf old lady turned extremely pale.

Even if one has never seen it, one can imagine the ability of the investigation team. The two do not have the confidence that they can survive round after round of investigations, especially the deaf old lady, who might die in the process of the investigation.

"Zhuzi, don't, no, Brother Zhu, is it such a small matter that it requires alerting the investigation team? I was wrong, I apologize to you, I deserve to be beaten, Brother Zhu, please let me go." Xu Damao said with a flattering smile on his face, and as he spoke, he pretended to slap himself in the face.

He Yuzhu didn't say anything, but looked at the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady's face turned blue, red, purple, and black...it was like she was running a dyeing shop.

"Zhuzi, grandma is doing this for your own good..." the deaf old lady said, taking advantage of me as soon as she spoke. "Stop! Old deaf man, stop trying to get close to me! So you admit that you ruined my blind date. How could you be so wicked to do such a despicable and shameless thing?" He Yuzhu said angrily.

He Yuzhu wanted to nail the deaf old lady to the rack of shame. From then on, when people in the courtyard talked about the deaf old lady, their first impression would be that she was shameless, immoral, and despicable.

One can imagine the deaf old lady's future life. No one will treat her well. When the deaf old lady thought of this, her face suddenly turned as gray as death.

"Zhu Zi, I'm really doing this for your own good." The deaf old lady struggled.

By now, the deaf old lady had already seen through that this was a trap set by He Yuzhu. Matchmaker Wang and Wang Xiulan were clearly invited by He Yuzhu to go through the motions and act out a show. However, neither the deaf old lady, Xu Damao, nor anyone else in the courtyard could see this.

Xu Damao and the deaf old lady took the bait foolishly.

"I'm so stupid, really...why can I be so impatient?" The deaf old lady wanted to slap herself twice.

"Xu Damao, the matter of the deaf old lady is not over yet. If you want to put this matter behind you, then each of you must compensate me 500 yuan for the loss of my reputation." He Yuzhu said calmly.

"What? Five hundred? Impossible! Five dollars at most, take it or leave it!" Xu Damao snorted coldly.

"Guangtian, go to the steel rolling mill security guard to report the case; Guangfu, go and ask Director Wang from the street to come over." He Yuzhu didn't even bargain with Xu Damao and just overturned the table.

"Don't! Brother Zhu, no, Master Zhu, this is too much. I don't have that much money. Even though you are asking for such a high price, you have to allow us to pay you back." Xu Damao said with a smile on his face, feeling numb inside.

"This is not business!" He Yuzhu said coldly, then looked at Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu immediately ran out of the courtyard.

At this time, no one stood up and said anything like "matters within the courtyard should be resolved within the courtyard". Everyone just stood by and watched the fun.

Liu Haizhong wanted to stand up and shout this, but when he thought that he would be accused of having the final say, he did not say anything.

"Guangtian, Guangfu, stop right there!" Xu Damao couldn't help but shout loudly.

It would have been better if Xu Damao hadn't shouted. After he shouted, the two of them ran even faster. In the blink of an eye, they were about to run out of the central courtyard. Once they ran out of the central courtyard, they would be finished.

"Stop! I admit defeat!" Xu Damao said dejectedly, but he was thinking in his heart that if Sha Zhu really dared to take the money, he would turn around and sue him for extortion.

"Guangtian, come back, old lady, what do you say?" He Yuzhu sneered.

The reason why He Yuzhu blackmailed Xu Damao and the deaf old lady so hard was mainly to make the deaf old lady show off her wealth. Once the deaf old lady showed off her wealth, the beasts in the courtyard would rush over like sharks smelling blood.

At that time, the winner will depend on their respective abilities.

"I don't have any money, so I'll just use an old thing to get by." The deaf old lady said dejectedly, as if all her energy had been drained out.

Although Xu Damao had saved a lot of money, but five hundred yuan was not a small amount. It could be said that after He Yuzhu's operation, Xu Damao's work over the years was in vain. He worked hard for the past ten years, but was back to the time before liberation overnight.

With tears in his eyes and a sad face, Xu Damao took out five hundred yuan. Now Xu Damao only had a dozen yuan on him.

He Yuzhu did not take Xu Damao's money directly. Instead, in front of everyone, he asked Xu Damao to write a letter of compensation, stating everything that had happened, leaving Xu Damao no chance to bite back.

Xu Damao had no choice but to write a letter of compensation.

After He Yuzhu got the money, his expression did not change at all, but he looked closely at the deaf old lady.

"Zhu Zi, come with me and carry me home." said the deaf old lady.

"Deaf old lady, stop it! It's up to you whether to compensate or not. If not, forget it! Guangfu..." He Yuzhu shouted loudly.

"I'll compensate! I'll compensate!" said the deaf old lady helplessly. Then, after glaring at He Yuzhu with extreme anger, she asked Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuang to carry her back home.

The deaf old lady drove Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuang out. After more than ten minutes, the deaf old lady asked Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuang to carry her back to the central courtyard.

When the deaf old lady came to the central courtyard, she had a small yellow croaker in her hand.

The deaf old lady handed the small yellow croaker to He Yuzhu without saying a word, and then asked Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuang to carry her back.

"Stop!" He Yuzhu shouted in a deep voice.

The deaf old lady didn't say anything, but just looked at He Yuzhu silently.

"A small yellow croaker weighs about 31 grams, and our gold price is about 20 yuan per gram. This small yellow croaker is worth about 620 yuan. I won't take advantage of you. I'll count it as 700 yuan and I'll give you 200 yuan in change." After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he counted out twenty big black ten bills and stuffed them into the deaf old lady's hand.

For He Yuzhu now, He Yuzhu has already mastered the right to distribute materials to a certain extent, so he naturally doesn't care about this little money. In fact, this little money has become a number in He Yuzhu's eyes, so He Yuzhu naturally doesn't care.

He Yuzhu may not care, but the beasts in the courtyard do care.

They didn't dare to snatch the small yellow croaker from He Yuzhu's hands, but they dared to snatch the small yellow croaker from the deaf old lady's hands.

If the deaf old lady can take out one small yellow croaker, she can take out two. God knows how many small yellow croakers she can take out.

The deaf old lady looked at He Yuzhu with a complicated expression. She didn't understand why He Yuzhu didn't take advantage of this. She had already made it clear that she would use small yellow croaker in exchange for the 500 yuan.

Why is He Yuzhu so calculating and not taking advantage of even a penny?

The deaf old lady didn't understand He Yuzhu, and He Yuzhu didn't understand the deaf old lady either.

If the deaf old lady directly asks me to take care of her in her old age and shows my financial resources, I might also provide for her in her old age. At worst, I can just spend some money and hire a middle-aged woman to take good care of her.

But the deaf old lady refused to do so and insisted on controlling other people's lives.

Is human desire for control so strong?
