Chapter 75: 1 peach kills 3 soldiers
Thinking of this, the group became anxious. He Yuzhu's attitude seemed to indicate that he did not intend to confront Yi Zhonghai and his group head-on.
This put them in a difficult position. To be honest, if they were facing Yi Zhonghai and his group, they would be quite afraid.
The main ones are Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui, whose combined numbers are quite large.
The three old men alone are quite impressive, not to mention the children from both families.
"Zhu Zi, you need to think of a solution for us. Otherwise, if their plan succeeds, there will be too many troubles later."
Zhang Xiaoquan said anxiously to He Yuzhu.
"Yeah, Zhu Zi, you're quick-witted, hurry up and think of a way to stop them."
Upon seeing Li Tieniu, Zhang Xiaoquan became anxious, while He Yuzhu spoke calmly.
"Xu Damao, ask them. The neighborhood committee is still punishing them. What kind of civilized courtyard is this? In any civilized courtyard, one of the three stewards has been dismissed and all three have been punished. With the mistakes they made, our courtyard will never be a civilized courtyard for years."
He Yuzhu's words reminded Li Tieniu and Zhang Xiaoquan.
Once everyone had an idea, they looked at each other and Xu Damao was forced to step forward.
Xu Damao, who always loves to stand out, is now ready to fire the first shot since he has an idea.
Xu Damao wasn't afraid, since He Yuzhu was behind him, he wasn't fighting alone.
"I say, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, you'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible."
"With the mistakes you three made, what's the point of our courtyard house being nominated for 'civilized courtyard house'? I think you three should use that time to go and make some more contributions to the neighborhood committee."
Xu Damao's words caused an uproar among the birds in the courtyard.
If Xu Damao doesn't mention it, they've all forgotten. Now that all three old men have made mistakes, what's the point of choosing a civilized courtyard house?
"Oh, right, we all forgot that the three old men are still being punished by the neighborhood committee."
"Does that mean we won't get any of the benefits they mentioned about the civilized courtyard houses?"
"No, since it was those three who caused us to lose the opportunity to compete for the 'Civilized Courtyard' award, shouldn't they be the ones compensating us for our losses?"
"Yes, the three gentlemen should compensate us."
"Gentlemen, because of you, our courtyard house has lost its qualification. Shouldn't you give us compensation?"
Xu Damao's words reminded the birds in the courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui were dumbfounded. They had originally planned to use this to manipulate everyone, but now they had fallen into the trap themselves.
The birds immediately surrounded Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui. They were not afraid of the three old men, as the law does not punish the masses.
Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui would definitely not agree to compensate everyone themselves.
Now the three old men were surrounded by the birds in the courtyard. One cursed, another pushed. Then chaos ensued. Someone kicked someone, and then everyone started kicking each other in a circle.
Luo Qiaoyun noticed something was wrong and immediately went into the next room to help the deaf old lady out to help Yi Zhonghai out of the predicament.
The deaf old lady, leaning on her cane, stepped forward, thinking that her presence would intimidate everyone.
"Stop it, ah!"
The deaf old lady only managed to utter half a sentence before she was silenced.
I don't know what happened, but suddenly the deaf old lady was knocked down, and then several people stepped on her.
Only when Luo Qiaoyun shouted that the old lady was dead did everyone disperse.
The deaf old lady wasn't dead, but she was in a terrible state.
His hair was disheveled, and his face and body were covered in footprints. His cane had broken in two at some point.
You could call her a beggar woman now.
The deaf old lady, on the verge of tears, was helped back into the house by Luo Qiaoyun.
Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui, who were on the ground, were also covered in wounds.
They were just attacked and kicked by a lot of people. These three old men are really having a tough time today.
The three of them had bloody scratches all over their faces from the woman, making them look particularly gruesome. Even if they recovered, the marks would likely remain, let alone be seen in public.
They originally planned to control the courtyard houses by holding elections for civilized courtyard houses.
Who could have imagined that things would take such a dramatic turn, and in the blink of an eye, they would become the target of everyone's anger?
He Yuzhu had just been attacked by a lot of underhanded tactics, and he saw Liu Guangqi kick Yi Zhonghai hard from behind several times.
Jia Dongxu also kicked Yan Bugui a few times from behind. Even their own people were fighting each other, which shows how hated the three old men were.
He Yuzhu didn't do anything this time; he simply gave the deaf old lady a gentle push into the crowd. What followed was a spectacular scene.
Inside Yi Zhonghai's room, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui were all angrily talking about something.
"Old Yi, this time it must be a conspiracy by Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, Li Tieniu, and Zhang Xiaoquan."
"Yeah, Lao Yi, we can't let them get away with this. I think I just saw Xu Damao beating Lao Yi from behind."
"Oh, right, they also beat up the old lady. Tell Deputy District Chief Zeng and have him arrest all those people."
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui both felt they had lost face; this was a blatant humiliation.
Yi Zhonghai was too tired to speak; this was definitely not the time to talk about this. Did he not know that He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, Li Tieniu, and Zhang Xiaoquan were the ones causing trouble?
But what good will knowing do? The neighborhood committee doesn't have a good impression of the three of them anymore. Even if you go to the neighborhood committee to complain, no one will pay attention to them. They're already doing so many criticisms every day, why would the neighborhood committee stand up for them?
Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui are now being targeted by the subdistrict office as typical examples. Coincidentally, some liaison officers from courtyard houses have also been abusing their power for personal gain recently.
Severely punishing Yi Zhonghai and his associates will serve as a warning to others.
Yi Zhonghai and his group are no match for He Yuzhu and his group in private, and they can't do anything about it in any way for the time being, so what can we say?
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui both wanted to incite Yi Zhonghai to beg the deaf old lady, and ideally, to have Deputy District Chief Zeng arrest He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, Li Tieniu, and Zhang Xiaoquan directly.
Yi Zhonghai also wanted to, but the deaf old lady told him that recently Deputy District Chief Zeng was very dissatisfied with what Yi Zhonghai and his team had done.
Even the deaf old lady was implicated. Although they didn't abandon her, they certainly wouldn't help her easily.
The deaf old lady also said that she couldn't keep using up her goodwill; those favors should be used where they would be most beneficial.
Yi Zhonghai thought about it and agreed. It didn't seem worth it to bother Deputy District Chief Zeng with some trivial matters.
Yi Zhonghai's greatest source of confidence is the deaf old lady, which ensures that he will never lose faith no matter what he encounters.
After fooling Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She certainly wouldn't dare let Yi Zhonghai know that she had been blacklisted by Deputy District Chief Zeng.
If Yi Zhonghai knew about this situation, he probably wouldn't serve her well anymore.
Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui parted on bad terms at their secret meeting.
Today was truly a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead; my well-thought-out plan ultimately failed.
He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, Li Tieniu, and Zhang Xiaoquan sat at He's house, drinking heartily.
He Yuzhu was pestered by Xu Damao and had no choice but to go to the kitchen and make some snacks to entertain them.
He Yushui, Zhang Panpan, and Li Xiaoman sat to the side, their mouths greasy with food.
Zhang Panpan and Li Xiaoman absolutely love He Yuzhu's cooking. They were happier than anyone else to have the opportunity to eat at the He family's house today.
"This time we thwarted their plot, but who knows what excuse they'll come up with next time?"
"You don't need to worry. I've already heard that the neighborhood committee will be terminating the liaison officer's duties soon."
"Pillar, are you serious?"
Xu Damao, Li Tieniu, and Zhang Xiaoquan all stared nervously at He Yuzhu.
They felt that the reason they couldn't defeat Yi Zhonghai and his group was because of the influence of the officials appointed by the street office.
He Yuzhu picked up his wine glass and took a sip of wine before slowly speaking.
"Actually, you're all wrong. You think the three of them were able to suppress the courtyard house because of that liaison officer's position?"
"Pillar, what do you mean?"
"Yes, not because of that. If it is, then what is it?"
"It's because of their own abilities. Other departments also have liaisons, so why can't they do it?"
Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong are both level seven workers at the steel rolling mill. There are more than a dozen people working at the steel rolling mill in our institute.
Yan Bugui, a teacher at Hongxing Primary School, is the school where all the children of school age in the courtyard go. This is their greatest asset, not that so-called liaison officer.
Of course, the position of liaison officer still gave them a legitimate opportunity to interfere in the affairs of the institute.
You see, even if the neighborhood committee cancels the liaison officers, people will still call them "old men" in the future.
And they still go to them for help when problems arise. They don't even have to worry about the neighborhood committee causing trouble for them, since the neighbors are the ones who actively seek their mediation.
He Yuzhu's words stunned Xu Damao, Li Tieniu, and Zhang Xiaoquan.
After analyzing the situation, several people actually agreed that He Yuzhu was quite right.
This is really frustrating. You've retaliated like this against your opponent, and yet they're still not dead.
He Yuzhu also knew that the group was trying to condemn Yi Zhonghai and his group with one blow.
But how to put it... they're like toads crawling on your feet, they don't bite but they're still annoying.
Xu Damao frowned, pondering how to completely resolve the issue with the three old men.
Li Tieniu and Zhang Xiaoquan would never intentionally scheme against others. Asking them to devise any underhanded tricks would be like asking a blind man for directions.
Among them, only He Yuzhu and Xu Damao are considered naturally gifted players.
He Yuzhu currently has no good way to completely crush the other party. Just like how he plotted against Jia Zhangshi, he must seize the opportunity and act accordingly.
"Da Mao, you can try to get Yan Jiecheng to ask Yan Bugui for help. Tell him that the steel mill is expanding its workforce and that Yan Bugui should ask the deaf old lady for help, saying that she can arrange a job for him."
Xu Damao quickly realized the brilliance of this idea; it was absolutely a case of killing three warriors with one peach.
Yan Jiecheng needs work, so naturally he'll be interested. Wasn't Yan Bugui's elaborate efforts to curry favor with Yi Zhonghai precisely so he could ask for help at this time?
If Yan Bugui is interested, then it's up to Yi Zhonghai to help.
