Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

After the old deaf man walked out, he saw Li Fengjuan, who was full of expectation, still waiting not far from the door.

"Old lady, what's going on? Did Zhuzi agree?" As she said this, she walked over and supported the old deaf man.

"Ah! I'm old and useless, old lady," the old deaf man said, shaking his head, "Zhu Zi and I have also drawn a clear line and said we will not have any contact in the future."

"What?" Li Fengjuan said unwillingly, "Zhu Zi didn't even listen to you?"

"Well," the old deaf man nodded and said sadly, "You have broken his heart this time. Coupled with the instigation of the Li family kid, Zhuzi now hates me too. Go back!"

"Grandma, I, I,..." Li Fengjuan said anxiously, "I'll go tell Lao Yi." After saying that, she let go and ran home.

Watching Li Fengjuan leave, the old deaf man said to himself sadly, "Calculations without emotions will all be in vain in the end! I, the old lady, will have a hard time in the future. I have to think of a solution quickly..."

……

After dinner, the sons of the Liu and Yan families began to notify each family one by one that a meeting of the entire courtyard would be held in the evening.

At the Yi family, the grieving Yi Zhonghai was also very angry after receiving the meeting notice. He was not even consulted about the meeting. However, he soon realized that this meeting was probably directed at him.

"Old Yi, didn't they discuss this meeting with you?" Li Fengjuan said angrily.

"Haha," Yi Zhonghai said with a wry smile, "When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. It's probably against me. How could they possibly discuss it with me?"

"What? They're targeting you?"

"What do you think?" Yi Zhonghai said, "I'm really done this time. Liu Haizhong and others have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, but it doesn't matter. It's good for me to step down. What I care about now is my future livelihood. You can go and participate later! I won't go."

"Okay! Lao Yi, you have to be more open-minded. Our lives will get better slowly. Don't be anxious or angry." Li Fengjuan comforted.

"It's okay, you go! I'm going to take a nap, I'm really a little tired." Yi Zhonghai said and walked towards the inner room.

After a while, in the middle yard, neighbors stood in groups of three or four, consciously forming a circle.

At this time, He Yushui walked towards Sha Zhu. She had gone out today and heard what happened as soon as she got home.

"Let's finish the meeting first and then I'll explain to you." Before He Yushui could speak, Sha Zhu stopped her from asking questions.

"Cough cough cough," Liu Haizhong stood up and cleared his throat, then looked around and did not see Yi Zhonghai coming.

"Okay, I think everyone knows about this meeting today, but there may still be people who don't know, so I'll explain it again."

"The thing is, everyone knows that He Daqing is Zhuzi's father. He left the city many years ago for personal reasons. At that time, everyone thought he had abandoned his children, but no one expected that he would send money to Zhuzi and his sister on time every month. However, Yi Zhonghai in our hospital had a black conscience and embezzled all the money of the past ten years. Do you think this is something a human being would do?" Liu Haizhong said loudly.

"Yes! This heart is really dark, too dark."

"Who said it wasn't true? I felt pity for Zhuzi and his sister when I saw them at that time."

"Did my remittance also get embezzled? No, I'll go to the post office tomorrow to check, what if my relative also sent me money?"

……

For a moment, everyone below started talking.

"Hmm," Liu Haizhong coughed, and the crowd immediately became quiet again.

"What is the problem? This is a serious moral quality issue, even a crime. No, it is a crime. If it weren't for Zhuzi's great benevolence and righteousness, and if it weren't for the friendship between neighbors, Yi Zhonghai would have spent the rest of his life in prison. So the factory made the decision to expel Yi Zhonghai and never hire him again. Now that the factory has made the decision, our hospital must follow suit. Don't you agree?" Liu Haizhong guided.

"right,"

……

"So, the third uncle and I discussed it before deciding to hold this meeting. Let us all decide together whether a morally corrupt criminal like Yi Zhonghai is still qualified to continue to serve as the eldest uncle of our hospital. Let's have a good discussion about it." Liu Haizhong continued to guide.

"I support the removal of Yi Zhonghai. This kind of person with a black heart and rotten lungs is not a human being at all. How can he be qualified to be a boss? Don't you agree?" Xu Damao shouted.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

……

Seeing the crowds were furious and condemning Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong said with satisfaction, "It seems that the people have sharp eyes. Let's vote by raising our hands. Those who agree to remove Yi Zhonghai, please raise your hands!"

After saying that, Liu Haizhong raised his right hand first, followed by Yan Fugui.

After a while, everyone in the yard raised their hands except Li Fengjuan and Qin Huairu.

"Qin Huairu, what do you mean? Do you think Yi Zhonghai can continue to be the eldest uncle?" Liu Haizhong asked dissatisfiedly. Although it didn't matter whether Qin Huairu raised her hand or not, he just wanted the whole court to pass it, so that it would sound better when reporting to the street office tomorrow.

In fact, Qin Huairu was just waiting for Liu Haizhong to speak. With Liu Haizhong's questioning, she raised her hand under duress, not voluntarily. This way she would not offend anyone. She was also counting on Yi Zhonghai for help!

"Second uncle, I, I," Qin Huairu pretended to be shy, "Okay, I'll raise it, let's do it!"

Qin Huairu raised her right hand and looked at Li Fengjuan apologetically.

"Okay, the removal of Uncle Yi Zhonghai has been passed unanimously. I will report the result to Director Wang of the Street Office tomorrow. We will adjourn the meeting now." Liu Haizhong said with satisfaction.

"Wait, I have something to say." At this time, Sha Zhu stood up and said.

"Oh!" Liu Haizhong stopped, looked at Sha Zhu with a smile and asked, "Zhu Zi, what do you want?"

"Second Uncle, I want everyone to be a witness for me, and also tell Yi Zhonghai here that my He family and the Yi family will never have any contact with each other again. I don't want him to disturb my life anymore." Sha Zhu said.

"Well, I can understand your idea. Did you hear that, old Yi's wife? Go back and tell Yi Zhonghai not to disturb his life anymore." Liu Haizhong said.

"Okay! I'll tell Lao Yi when I get back." Li Fengjuan said with a wry smile, then lowered her head and walked towards home.

"Okay, let's disperse!"
