There were sounds similar to quarreling coming from the deaf old lady's house.

Zhang Yan and the second aunt in the backyard were all outside, listening to the noise inside.

"Xiao Yang, Zhong Hai is right. Filial piety comes first among all virtues. In the past, officials were selected based on whether they were filial or not. An unfilial person, no matter how capable he was, would not be qualified to be an official."

Yang Peishan was almost laughing out of anger. He said so much, but the deaf old lady didn't listen at all.

“This is the new China.”

The deaf old lady looked unhappy for a moment, then continued, "Filial piety is also important in the new China."

Yang Peishan said patiently: "Even if we talk about filial piety, I am not qualified to compare with Yi Zhonghai. He is our neighbor."

The deaf old lady was not happy. According to this statement, she would have no one to take care of her in her old age. She and Yi Zhonghai were a team that would suffer together and prosper together.

"You're wrong to say that. As the old saying goes, distant relatives are not close neighbors. There's nothing wrong with neighbors helping each other.

What you should investigate is the background of Shazhu's wife, not whether she is filial or not."

Yang Peishan's patience was gone: "What are you checking? He was arranged to work in a nursing home, and the organization has already checked his background.

Also, don’t let Yi Zhonghai take you to see me anymore.

I am too embarrassed to tell others to treat their neighbors as elders and take care of them.”

After saying that, Yang Peisan didn't give the deaf old lady a chance to react. He pushed open the door and left.

Second Aunt and Zhang Yan were unable to dodge and could only stand there awkwardly.

Yang Peishan didn't look at them and left the backyard directly. When he arrived at the middle yard, he saw He Yushui standing in the yard and said a few words of encouragement to He Yushui and the other two.

These three are all college students and have special identities.

In the backyard, the deaf old lady walked out of the house with a dark face. She stared at the second aunt and Zhang Yan.

"Don't let me hear you talking nonsense, or I, an old lady, won't let you go."

The two of them didn't care, but they didn't dare to act on their own. They decided to wait for the man at home to come back and then ask what to do.

Seeing that the two men were well behaved, the deaf old lady returned home. She was really having a headache now.

She had taken everything into account, except for not expecting that after Yi Zhonghai wrote the letter of denunciation, she would be the one to be punished.

Yang Peishan's relationship with her was not close, but his role was significant.

With Yang Peishan as her backer, people in the courtyard would be more respectful of her.

Without this support, people in the courtyard would be even less respectful of her.

Although there is Director Pan, he is far away and cannot take care of this place.

The deaf old lady could never have imagined that after Director Pan left, Director Wang would take over.

But Director Wang is not close to her.

If she could replace the street office director with someone who is close to her, it wouldn't be so difficult.

Endless thoughts can only turn into a sigh in the end.

Soon, it was time to get off work and the workers left one after another.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai entered the door, he was stopped by Yan Bugui. He was in a bad mood and didn't want to pay attention to Yan Bugui.

"If you have something to say, please tell me now."

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "It's nothing, actually. I just want to treat you to a drink."

"You? Treat me? To a drink?"

Yi Zhonghai felt that Yan Bugui was joking.

The three families in Siheyuan who are least likely to invite him to drink are the He family, the Jia family, and the Yan family.

Among them, the Yan family was the one who should have invited him to drink. Without him, Yan Bugui would have no chance of becoming the head of the family.

Moreover, Yan Bugui had drunk many times at his house, but had never invited him to drink once.

Yi Zhonghai suspected that Yan Bugui was plotting against him again, so he said, "I'm not in the mood. You should go find Sha Zhu!"

Yan Bugui thought to himself, if I could get He Yuzhu to treat me, I wouldn't come to you.

"The wine and food at home are ready, waiting for you."

Yi Zhonghai still didn't believe it. Not to mention the food, he wouldn't even dare drink the Yan family's wine.

"Let's not do that! I have a toothache lately and can't drink." The two were talking there when Liu Haizhong came over and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai still refused, Yan Bugui had to ask Liu Haizhong for help: "I want to treat Lao Yi to a drink, but he refused."

Liu Haizhong looked at Yan Bugui in surprise: "You want to treat Lao Yi to a drink? Why? Is Jiefang getting married today?"

"What does this have to do with liberating marriage?"

"Why not? We've been neighbors for so many years, and Lao Yi and I have only drunk wine from your house once, at Yan Jiecheng's wedding."

Yi Zhonghai nodded in agreement, which made Yan Bugui a little unhappy.

"I really want to treat Lao Yi to a drink this time."

Liu Haizhong said: "Really? I really want to see it. Lao Yi, let's go to Lao Yan's house."

Seeing Liu Haizhong leading the way towards home, Yan Bugui was unable to say anything to stop him.

If I refuse Liu Haizhong, he will definitely hold a grudge against me.

There was no other way, Yan Bugui could only grit his teeth and add him in.

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to follow him to Yan Bugui's home.

When he entered the house, he actually saw dishes on Yan Bugui's table. He was shocked.

Seeing that Yan Bugui really wanted to treat them, Yi Zhonghai also wanted to drink, so he sat down.

Liu Haizhong also sat down.

He was curious about why Yan Bugui wanted to treat them to a meal, and he also wanted to ask Yi Zhonghai about the status of the letter of complaint.

Yan Bugui talked about his purpose, and Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong only then knew that Yang Peishan had come to the courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai naturally thought that Yang Peishan came to visit the deaf old lady.

"Old Yan, as long as you respect the old lady, she will naturally speak for you."

Liu Hai was shocked and regretted having tricked Yi Zhonghai. If Yi Zhonghai knew about this and told Yang Peishan about it, he would have no hope of becoming a leader.

He decided that he would give Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu a good beating when he got home to vent his anger.

Who let these two make such random suggestions?

Yan Bugui needed help from others, and no matter how distressed he was, he could only agree with Yi Zhonghai's words.

"I also want to honor the old lady, but you know my family situation. I can't afford to support such a big family with just my salary.

Lao Yi, don't worry. Although my family cannot provide money, we can provide labor.

If you need anything in the future, my family of seven will support you."

We have lived together for more than ten years and know each other very well.

Yi Zhonghai knew very well that getting Yan Bugui to pay money would be more difficult than killing him.

In fact, Yan Bugui did not offend Yang Peishan that much. Forcing Yan Bugui to pay money would only offend people.

As long as Yan Bugui supports him in the future, it will be enough.

"Okay. I'll go talk to the old lady later. You should also be more careful when you block the door. You can't block everyone."

Liu Haizhong also wanted to please Yi Zhonghai, so he followed suit and said, “Old Yi is right.

You should also be careful when you block the door.

Director Yang of our factory is more magnanimous than me, how dare you stop him?"

Yan Bugui needed a favor from someone, so he didn't dare to refute and could only listen obediently.

As for the children of the Yan family, they had no chance to sit at the table. They all had pickles and ate steamed buns.

When Xu Damao returned home, he heard Zhang Yan's account of what happened.

He immediately felt something was wrong: "Did you really hear clearly that Director Yang had an argument with the deaf old lady?"

Zhang Yan said: "My second aunt and I were listening outside, how could this be false?

Director Yang came out of the deaf old lady's room with a bad look on his face.

If they hadn't quarreled, do you think Director Yang would have been like that?"

Xu Damao already believed Zhang Yan's words, but he was not sure: "I'll go ask Sha Zhu. If the deaf old lady and Director Yang have a falling out, it will be a big deal." (End of this chapter)
