The winner of life in the courtyard

Chapter 4 Backstab [Seeking collection, reading and investment]

After Shen Zhiping finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, who were sitting at the square table, were all dumbfounded. Especially Yi Zhonghai, who used to accuse others, but today he was accused by Shen Zhiping. What made him dumbfounded the most was that what Shen Zhiping said made so much sense!
Even as the person who was accused, Yi Zhonghai could not find any reason to refute.

"Technician Shen, let me make it clear that it was Yi Zhonghai who convened the whole hospital meeting to decide on the donation of money and materials to the Jia family. He is the eldest uncle in the hospital, and he has the final say on all matters in our courtyard!"

Liu Haizhong wanted to make progress so much that he was naturally very unhappy to be labeled as having ideological problems. How could he make progress if he was labeled as having ideological problems?

Doesn't this ruin his future?

So, without any hesitation, Liu Haizhong sold out Yi Zhonghai.

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Old Yan!"

Not only did Liu Haizhong stab Yi Zhonghai in the back, he also dragged Yan Bugui into it.

Yan Bugui is an intellectual and a cultured person. He is naturally well aware of how overbearing Shen Zhiping's accusations are, so he naturally chooses to stand on the same front with Liu Haizhong.

After all, it was Yi Zhonghai who proposed donating money and materials to the Jia family.

"Technician Shen, this matter was indeed decided by Lao Yi!"

"To be honest, my family's conditions are not as good as the Jia family's. If I hadn't been so careful with my budget, my family would have been unable to make ends meet!"

While stabbing Yi Zhonghai in the back, Yan Bugui did not forget to whitewash himself.

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect that before he could figure out how to deal with Shen Zhiping's accusations, he would be stabbed in the back by his two old partners.

"Uncle, you don't do things this way!"

"You are playing us all for fools!"

"Just because Jia Dongxu is your apprentice, you dragged everyone in the hospital to help his family. After all the fuss, the Jia family is not in trouble at all. It's all because of your indulgence that they have become like this!"

Upon seeing this, the residents in the courtyard began to speak up and accuse Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai's face looked quite ugly.

He never dreamed that his status as the boss in the courtyard, who had the final say, would be shaken because of Shen Zhiping's words.

He must fight back!

But how to fight back?
Yi Zhonghai racked his brains but could not think of a way to get out of the quagmire he was in, unless he apologized, admitted his mistake, and acknowledged his own inconsiderateness.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai was ready to speak.

Unexpectedly, the deaf old lady in the backyard came out.

"What is this for?"

"What's the happy news?"

As soon as the deaf old lady appeared, the scene immediately became quiet.

"Old lady, why are you out in such a cold weather?"

Sha Zhu was worthy of being the deaf old lady's most beloved grandson. When he saw the old lady coming out, he immediately stepped forward, supported her, and let her sit down on the long bench he had just made.

"What does this young man do?"

"He is so fair and clean-looking, just like the young master of a wealthy family in the past!"

The deaf old lady was indeed very experienced. She wanted to set Shen Zhiping up with these seemingly unintentional words.

The residents of this courtyard are all from poor peasant families. If Shen Zhiping was the young master of a wealthy family, he would naturally stand on the opposite side of these people.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, who is this old lady...?"

Shen Zhiping looked at He Yuzhu and pretended to be ignorant even though he knew the truth.

Sha Zhu immediately spoke up and said, "Technician Shen, this is the deaf old lady who lives in the backyard of our courtyard. She is the most respected and venerable, and is the ancestor of our courtyard!"

"What?"

"Comrade He Yuzhu, you just said that this old lady is the ancestor of the Siheyuan?"

Shen Zhiping looked shocked by He Yuzhu's words for a moment, and looked at him fiercely.

Sha Zhu blinked and said, "Yes, the old lady is the ancestor of our courtyard! She has lived in this courtyard for a long time!" "Also, the old lady gave straw sandals to the Red Army!"

"Comrade He Yuzhu, please pause first!"

Shen Zhiping interrupted Sha Zhu and said, "You said the old lady has lived in the courtyard for a long time. So, where is she from?"

"Of course he's from Beijing!"

Sha Zhu said without hesitation, "When I was just born, the old lady was already in the courtyard!"

"That's strange. Since the old lady is from Beijing, how did she send straw sandals to the Red Army?"

"Comrade He Yuzhu, can you explain this to me?"

Sha Zhu was born in 1935, and the old lady already lived in the courtyard at that time. So how did the old lady give away the straw sandals?

Peking is far from the south, and with the current transportation conditions, it is not something an old lady with bound feet can afford to walk. It is impossible for the old lady to take a train just to deliver straw sandals!

Also, looking at the appearance of this deaf old lady, can she weave straw sandals?

"Old lady, please tell Technician Shen what happened to you!"

Sha Zhu was indeed a little bit brainless, and he didn't understand the meaning of Shen Zhiping's words at all. But the other people in the courtyard did understand.

For a moment, everyone in the courtyard looked at the deaf old lady with something strange in their eyes.

The deaf old lady also noticed something was wrong, but she knew her own business and she couldn't make up a story about something she hadn't done.

"What? You said this young man would treat me to meat?"

The deaf old lady didn't know how to answer, so she just started pretending to be deaf and dumb and made a unreasonable argument.

"Old lady, you are deaf again!"

Sha Zhu immediately shouted loudly in the old lady's ear.

The deaf old lady frowned visibly, apparently unable to bear Sha Zhu's actions, but she could only endure it and continue acting.

"Technician Shen, I'm sorry, the old lady's ears are not very good. She can hear people talking occasionally, but most of the time, she can't hear anything!"

Shazhu really didn't think much about it and just thought that the old lady's ears were not working well again.

After listening to Sha Zhu's explanation, Shen Zhiping just laughed and said, "Comrade He Yuzhu, there is one more thing I have to correct you on!"

"This is a new China, and the people are the masters of the country!"

“Everyone is equal!”

"Don't mention this kind of thing, old ancestor!"

"Besides, we are not related to this old lady at all. If we have another ancestor above us for no reason, I'm afraid the real ancestor of the family will be angry!"

"Hey, Technician Shen, I'm sorry!"

"But I didn't say this, it was said by an old man. He said that as human beings, we should help each other, respect the old and love the young. The old lady is so old, she should be the ancestor of our courtyard!"

Sha Zhu's careless words dealt another blow to Yi Zhonghai.

Shen Zhiping's gaze fell on Yi Zhonghai again.

"Master Yi, why is this your idea?"

"The street office manager didn't ask you to find ancestors for the residents!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face became even uglier.

He stood up and bowed to everyone very seriously.

"sorry!"

"I, as an old man, didn't do my job well. Because of my negligence, everyone has suffered a lot of grievances. I apologize to everyone!"

As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai bowed to everyone again, his attitude was so pious.
