Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

Chapter Twelve: Sha Zhu's image has crumbled!

Hearing Zhao De say this, Yi Zhonghai felt that he could no longer sit idly by.

After thinking for a moment, he turned to Director Wang and said:

"Director Wang, Sha Zhu has always been a good kid in our compound."

"He is filial to the elderly, caring for children, and always takes the lead in helping his neighbors."

“Look, he usually goes to the deaf old lady’s house to help cook for her.”

"After Jia Dongxu's incident, the Jia family faced financial difficulties."

"The lunchboxes that Sha Zhu brought back were basically for helping their family..."

Based on the actual situation, Yi Zhonghai described Sha Zhu as a kind and enthusiastic person.

They spoke with such conviction that even some residents began to waver.

Sha Zhu was completely reassured by what he said.

After all, Yi Zhonghai had praised him a lot in the past, so he felt that he would be fine this time no matter what.

"Stop it!"

Zhao De bluntly exposed the disguise.

"Everyone, think about it carefully. Is Sha Zhu only nice to people like the deaf old lady, the old man's family, and the Jia family?"

"Are they really that kind to us neighbors?"

"He used to punch and kick us all the time. Which kid in the neighborhood his age hasn't been beaten by him?"

...................

Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed, "Oh dear, that's definitely true!"

Then Zhao De said sarcastically:

"A good person? That's utter nonsense!"

"Shazhu is good to the deaf old lady, so of course the deaf old lady helps him without distinguishing right from wrong."

"Everyone saw what happened just now. Tell me, is this called being kind-hearted, or is there another motive?"

"Speaking of Uncle Yi, since Sha Zhu is good to them, do you think Uncle Yi wouldn't help Sha Zhu?"

"And now that Sha Zhu has a powerful backer, he's started to act arrogantly and domineeringly in the yard, hasn't he?"

"Putting everything else aside, Xu Damao gets beaten up by Sha Zhu every day."

Have you ever seen an elderly man or a deaf woman stand up for him?

"And the Jia family, how could they be kind-hearted?"

"He clearly just took a liking to Qin Huairu because she's pretty."

“Her husband, Jia Dongxu, is still alive, and they’re always together, holding hands.”

"If Jia Dongxu really leaves, are you planning to take Qin Huairu into your bed and take care of her?"

Zhao De's words were extremely harsh, each sentence striking straight to the heart and hitting the nail on the head.

......................

Sha Zhu flew into a rage once again, shouting:

"You're talking nonsense, I'll slap you!"

He was about to hit someone, but someone grabbed him and he couldn't move.

At this point, even the ordinary residents around him started pointing and gossiping about him.

They lived in the same courtyard and saw each other every day.

Everyone's seen through Sha Zhu's messy ways!

People don't usually think about these things much.

But now that I think about it, it really was true.

"This is all just a pretense!"

Zhao De added a final summary.

Instantly, the expressions on Yi Zhonghai's, the deaf old lady's, and Sha Zhu's faces all changed, becoming extremely ugly.

He Yushui found it hard to believe that she rarely returned to the courtyard:

“My brother wouldn’t do that. It’s impossible for him and Qin Huairu to be together.”

This isn't her making excuses; she genuinely believes it.

But these words pierced Sha Zhu's heart like a needle.

【How could that be?! Impossible!】

[Jia Dongxu is a good-for-nothing. Can't Qin Huairu divorce him and live with me?]

Hearing what Sha Zhu was thinking, Zhao De found it amusing and retorted to He Yushui:

......................

"Why not?"

"He's not bad either. If he weren't infatuated with Qin Huairu, would he still be unmarried?"

"You little brat, I'll curse you to death for talking nonsense."

The deaf old woman was furious. She waved her cane again and charged at Zhao De, ready to teach him a lesson.

In this courtyard, only she dared to act like this.

"What happened!?"

"Stop! All of you, stop!"

Following several stern reprimands, a group of security personnel and police officers rushed over.

The security team leader was Section Chief Yang, whom I knew, and the police officers were also people I had met that morning.

Then, Zhao De briefly recounted the events to Director Wang.

It's actually not complicated. It's just that Sha Zhu was reported for carrying a lunchbox and wanted to hit someone.

He was punished but still dissatisfied, so he sought help from his elders.

"I suspect He Yuzhu is an accomplice of enemy agents. I request that the police investigate him."

“After all, we are neighbors. If I don’t find out the truth, I will be at great safety risk.”

This matter originally belonged to the factory's internal affairs and should have been handled by the security department.

But if Sha Zhu is just taken away by the security department, he will at most be locked up for a few days or have some of his salary deducted.

......................

After all, the factory leaders still needed him to cook, so there were no real punishments for him.

Therefore, Zhao De was determined to make sure that Sha Zhu received the punishment he deserved and sent him to the police station.

A person with a temper like Sha Zhu ended up in the police station.

If no one disciplines him, his name will be written backwards.

After hearing Zhao De's reasonable explanation, the police officers did not dare to underestimate him.

They immediately took Sha Zhu away.

But there was no way to deal with the deaf old lady.

But since this incident, Zhao De has made things so clear.

People will never respect Sha Zhu like they used to.

People might not even greet him when they see him; his reputation is completely ruined.

After all, the deaf old lady's behavior of blindly protecting her own family members without distinguishing right from wrong had left a deep impression on everyone.

Furthermore, Yi Zhonghai's philosophy of respecting the elderly and caring for the young has lost the support of most people as a result.

It is said that the old man's prestige was largely supported by his set of ideas.

......................

If this concept completely collapses.

Yi Zhonghai's status as an old man has lost its value.

Putting everything else aside, let's just talk about the college-wide meeting.

Those three old men weren't qualified to gather; no other courtyard house was like theirs.

They hold hospital-wide meetings all the time.

The neighborhood committee initially selected these three men as "grandpas" to mediate neighborhood disputes.
