It was a cold night, and I was just relaxing when I was inexplicably called out to get some fresh air. No wonder I was in a bad mood.
"Yi Zhonghai, what are you guys up to!"
"If you take away our rest time and we're not energetic enough to work tomorrow, can you take responsibility?"
Liu Haizhong snorted coldly and stepped forward to make trouble.
People who like to flaunt their authority hate being told what to do by others.
Yi Zhonghai doesn't even hold a proper position in the institute, so what gives him the right to call everyone out for a meeting?
Liu Haizhong was the first to express his dissatisfaction.
"Old Liu, what we're discussing today is very important, so please bear with us."
We'll talk about it once everyone's here.
Yi Zhonghai remained calm and unaffected by Liu Haizhong's words.
It's not a bad thing that everyone has a lot of resentment. We can use the public's dissatisfaction with the deaf old woman to get rid of this burden.
Everything went smoothly, except that the neighbors' dissatisfaction seemed to exceed Yi Zhonghai's expectations.
If Liu Haizhong was a mild appetizer, then He Daqing's arrival was the main course.
"Why are you all here so late at night instead of sleeping?"
Without instructions from above, gathering like this would be an illegal assembly.
"If something goes wrong, they might be mistaken for saboteurs and arrested."
He Daqing stepped out of the crowd and spoke loudly.
The plenary meeting didn't discuss anything serious. If we want to solve the problem at its root, it's better not to hold the meeting at all.
"is that so?
"Let's hurry back."
Upon hearing He Daqing's words, the residents present began to make a fuss and prepared to leave.
Yi Zhonghai didn't have the axiom to convene a general meeting of the entire hospital; he only managed to get people to come by because his neighbors gave him some face.
When it comes to their own interests, no one cares about Yi Zhonghai's reputation.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
Yi Zhonghai quickly banged on the basin to temporarily calm the situation.
Looking at the troublemaking He Daqing, Yi Zhonghai's face was ashen, his anger unable to find an outlet, and he could only keep it bottled up inside.
"Don't go, everyone. There's just one thing, it'll be over soon."
There will be no misunderstanding.
Unable to continue, Yi Zhonghai could only hastily recount how he had helped the deaf old woman.
"Our courtyard has always had a tradition of respecting the elderly and caring for the young. Everyone helps and cares for each other, which is why we live a good and prosperous life."
The deaf old woman in the backyard is 67 years old this year and is a government-designated recipient of the "Five Guarantees" (a government-provided social welfare program for the elderly, disabled, and orphans).
The old lady wove shoes for soldiers when she was young, making a contribution to the country.
Now that I'm old, I have no children to take care of me.
Each of our families should do their part and take turns caring for the old lady.
After Yi Zhonghai finished his impassioned speech, the deaf old woman smiled smugly.
The neighbors around were all stunned, their faces showing expressions of disbelief.
Yi Zhonghai is not yet the head of the compound; he has no moral authority or prestige.
There was no foolish Zhu to act as a henchman or vanguard, and no force to suppress those who disagreed.
These days, what he says in the yard has almost no impact, no more than a fart.
People listen to it for fun when they're happy, and ignore it completely when they're not.
To think that you can get people to give benefits to the deaf old woman just by saying a few words is simply wishful thinking.
"Yi Zhonghai, what nonsense are you spouting!"
The deaf elderly woman is a recipient of the "Five Guarantees" (a government-provided social welfare program for the elderly without family support), and the state takes care of her; we don't need to worry about her.
We're not related by blood, so it's not appropriate for us to interfere in other people's family affairs.
Everyone agrees, right?
He Daqing immediately refuted the claim.
Yi Zhonghai really came up with the idea of sending a deaf old woman to eat at a hundred different homes.
He doesn't even know his place; he's so arrogant.
"Exactly! Why should we, who are not related to her, take care of her!"
"Yi Zhonghai, you can keep this ancestor for yourself, we're not going to serve him!"
"Let's disperse, let's disperse quickly!"
The residents of the compound began to respond vehemently.
If their own interests are not harmed, the people in the courtyard can stand idly by and turn a blind eye. But once their own interests are involved, even if it is only the slightest bit of their interests that are harmed, they will not stand for it.
The deaf old woman's face changed drastically, turning as gloomy as the sky before a storm. She stared intently at He Daqing, slamming her cane hard against the ground.
"Boom!"
"He Daqing, you wicked seed, you old scoundrel who married a young mistress."
See how I teach you a lesson!"
The deaf old woman suddenly stood up, grabbed her cane, and was about to go forward and hit He Daqing.
He Daqing remained unmoved, standing firmly in place, and firmly grasped the cane that was being attacked with one hand.
The deaf old woman used both hands to try to pull her cane back.
Unfortunately, He Daqing was strong and powerful, and she was no match for him; her cane remained firmly in place.
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
Just as the deaf old woman was about to continue her tirade, He Daqing frowned and glared fiercely, unleashing an invisible aura that silenced her.
"Old lady, you know best what kind of person you are."
Do you really want me to expose your true colors so everyone can see for themselves?
He Daqing has lived in this courtyard for more than ten years and is one of the oldest residents.
He knew very well where each family came from.
The deaf old woman had bound feet, no calluses on her hands, and her skin was even whiter than Jia Zhangshi's; she was clearly not someone who did manual labor.
In addition, they are fond of taking advantage of others, and are illiterate, so they don't seem like a well-educated and reasonable family.
The origin of this kind of product is self-evident: the private services industry.
"you you……"
The deaf old woman's eyes widened in fright, and she fell backward, collapsing to the ground, somewhat dazed.
Seeing this, the neighbors began to whisper among themselves.
He looked at the deaf old woman with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Clang."
He Daqing casually tossed his cane on the ground, his eyes scanning the surroundings before locking onto Yi Zhonghai, who was huddled in the crowd, chuckling to himself.
That bastard Yi Zhonghai is trying to use someone else to do his dirty work, using everyone present as pawns.
He Daqing would never let him have his way.
"Respecting and caring for the elderly is a good thing."
It's rare that Yi Zhonghai is willing to put in so much effort to take care of the deaf old lady.
As the saying goes, "Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure," and "One should not trouble two masters with one matter." I think it would be better for everyone to help Yi Zhonghai achieve his goal.
How about we give him the opportunity to care for the deaf elderly woman?
Whoever raises the issue should solve it. Tonight's mess was caused by Yi Zhonghai, and there's no way he can escape unscathed.
Chapter 32 No Son, No Mother
The cold night wind blew by, chilling the air.
However, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the people in the Central Court.
"well said!
Since Yi Zhonghai is so respectful of the elderly, let him take care of the deaf old lady!
“That’s right. With Yi Zhonghai’s family earning such a high salary, adding a couple more bowls and chopsticks isn’t a big deal.”
Calling everyone out for a walk late at night, and then trying to find an ancestor for everyone, is detrimental to everyone's interests.
Yi Zhonghai became the target of public criticism and was instantly surrounded by the anger of the crowd.
Yi Zhonghai, who had just been watching the joke, panicked instantly. He absolutely could not take care of the deaf old woman for no reason.
He and Yao Min haven't even settled their retirement plans yet, how can he take care of someone else's retirement first?
"Listen to me, everyone! Listen to me, everyone!"
Yi Zhonghai hurriedly shouted loudly in an attempt to stabilize the situation.
"I think what the Qing Dynasty said is very true."
Like everyone else, I have no relation to the deaf old lady. If I take care of her for a long time, I'm afraid it will cause gossip and bring trouble to the nursing home.
I think we should leave this matter here.
