Chapter 723 The Deaf Old Lady Minds Her Own Business

Yi Zhonghai finally understood what Qin Huairu meant. He thought to himself that Qin Huairu was a woman who would do anything for her son. He sighed helplessly and said, "Qin Huairu, it's useless for you to come to me now. I don't have any power now. What can I say?"

When Qin Huairu heard what Yi Zhonghai said, she knew that he was blaming her for what she had done before. But at this moment, she couldn't care less. She gritted her teeth, looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Uncle Yi, don't forget whose child Banggeng is! If it weren't for... (this implies that there is a certain connection between Yi Zhonghai and Banggeng, which can be supplemented according to the background of the previous article), can you ignore him? If you don't care about this matter, then I will let it go. If something happens, don't blame me for not reminding you!"

Yi Zhonghai naturally understood the threat in Qin Huairu's words, and he was annoyed, but he really couldn't do anything about it. After all, Banggeng was... (again emphasized the connection), and he couldn't really sit back and do nothing. He weighed the pros and cons, looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Alright, alright, I'm scared of you. I'll go to the backyard and talk to the relevant people, and try not to ask Banggeng to go, okay? In my opinion, Tiedan should be asked to do this. He is about the same age as Banggeng, so it will be the same if he goes."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Qin Huairu's anxious expression eased a little. She looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Uncle Yi, this matter is completely handed over to you. You have to take more care of it. Banggeng is still young. We can't let his future be ruined like this."

Yi Zhonghai nodded impatiently and said, "Okay, go back first and stop talking here. I want to see, although I am not the boss now, but based on my prestige in this courtyard for so many years, they still have to give me this face." After that, he waved his hand, turned and walked towards the backyard, while Qin Huairu stood there, looking at his back, silently praying in her heart that things would go as she wished.

On the other side, Yan Bugui hurried towards Liu Haizhong's house with a slightly panicked look. As soon as he entered the yard, he shouted: "Old Liu, I'm here in a hurry to tell you something very important!"

Liu Haizhong was originally planning to go out for a walk, but he felt bored after staying in the house for a while. As soon as he walked to the door, he ran into Yan Bugui who rushed in. He frowned and asked in confusion: "Old Yan, what's the matter? You are so anxious that you are sweating."

Yan Bugui didn't bother to wipe the sweat off his face. He pulled Liu Haizhong and walked into the house, saying as he walked: "Old Liu, you haven't heard yet, have you? Now the higher-ups have issued a notice that each courtyard must have two quotas to go to the countryside. And I heard that once you go to the countryside, don't even think about coming back. You have to put down roots there."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then a sly smile appeared on his face, and he said disapprovingly: "Isn't this matter easy to handle? There is Tiedan in the front yard and Banggeng in the middle yard. Isn't this just enough for two places?"

When Yan Bugui heard this, he immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's what I thought! It would be perfect to choose these two children to go to the countryside."

Just when the two were discussing, Yi Zhonghai walked over slowly with his hands behind his back. He listened to their conversation, frowned slightly, and said, "It's not appropriate to do this. You know what the Jia family is like now. Qin Huairu is a woman with several children, and life is already tight. If Banggeng is sent to the countryside, how will the Jia family survive?"

Liu Haizhong no longer gives face to Yi Zhonghai like he used to. He sneered and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Let's not talk about the fact that you, Old Yi, are no longer the master. Just talk about this matter, how can it not be a good thing? Banggeng went to the countryside, the Jia family will have one less mouth to feed, and they can also prepare less food, so the burden will be lightened." After saying that, he couldn't help laughing.

Yan Bugui also laughed and agreed, "That's right, Lao Liu is absolutely right."

Yi Zhonghai never thought that he used to have the final say in the courtyard, but now his words have no weight at all. He was so angry that his face turned slightly red, and he wanted to argue a few more words, but Yan Bugui waved his hand and said impatiently: "Old Yi, don't interrupt this matter, what does it have to do with you? Don't worry about it."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Yan Bugui and said seriously, "Old Yan, you can't say that. We are all neighbors living in the same courtyard. We see each other every day. We have to think about everyone."

Liu Haizhong smiled disapprovingly and said, "Okay, okay, it's settled. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After that, he walked out without looking back.

Yan Bugui also nodded quickly and said, "Yes, who has the leisure to care about other people's affairs? That means they have nothing to do." After that, he hurriedly followed Liu Haizhong and left.

Yi Zhonghai was left standing there, and he was so angry that he was shaking slightly. Back then, as a great man, he was highly respected in this courtyard, and no one dared to disobey his words. But now, these two people actually looked down on him. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't swallow this breath, and he thought he must go to the deaf old lady to talk about this matter and let her judge.

Yi Zhonghai was extremely anxious, and he hurriedly walked towards the deaf old lady's house. At this moment, the deaf old lady was sitting in her house, frowning, thinking about He Yuzhu's recent behavior in a depressed mood, which really made her a little unpredictable. At this moment, Yi Zhonghai rushed in and said loudly with an annoyed look on his face: "Old lady, I am almost mad to death!"

The deaf old lady glanced at Yi Zhonghai and could not help but feel disappointed. In her opinion, Yi Zhonghai had been dragging his feet lately and it was difficult for him to accomplish anything. She asked calmly, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly recounted to the deaf old lady exactly what Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui had said, waving his arms from time to time to emphasize the seriousness of the matter.

The deaf old lady listened quietly, nodded slowly, and said: "What's the big deal? It's quite normal. Besides, Banggeng's reputation as a thief has been established in this courtyard. It is indeed a good idea to send him to the countryside for a good reform."

Yi Zhonghai's eyes widened. He really didn't expect the deaf old lady to say such a thing. He looked surprised and stammered, "But..."
