Chapter 2881 The neighborhood committee reported the deaf old lady

The old lady of the compound who's always been there, and who's made shoes for the team, she's a true gold that's not afraid of fire, she needs to be given a good test!
"Comrade, who are you looking for?" The staff member was very enthusiastic.

"I need to see Director Wang!"

"If there's any emergency, you can tell me first. Otherwise, if you're not in a hurry, please wait a bit. Director Wang is in a meeting right now, and it should be over in another two or three minutes!"

"Good~"

Putting everything else aside, the service attitude of the grassroots departments was acceptable at that time. But if you wanted to meet a street office director decades later, you would never even dream of it!

The staff actually poured me a glass of water!

It's important to know that nowadays, the directors of the subdistrict offices in these 49 cities are on par with the top officials of ordinary county towns.
Conversely, the service staff in departments that directly face the public, such as department stores, supply and marketing cooperatives, and state-run restaurants, are usually not very friendly. However, this changed several decades later because in a market economy, you can't sell your products if you have a bad attitude.

Director Wang quickly finished his work, wearing a light-colored cadre uniform, and his short hair looked neat and tidy.

"You are Xu..." As I walked into the office, Xu Damao looked somewhat familiar.

"Hello Director Wang, I am Xu Damao, the projectionist from the steel rolling mill!"

"Oh...hello!"

Upon hearing this, Director Wang realized that they had previously shown movies at the subdistrict office.

"Come, come, young comrade, have some water first!" Director Wang said with a warm smile.

"What brings you here?"

Xu Damao dared not underestimate the middle-aged woman with short hair in front of him. These days, no female cadre who is a little older is a simple person. They are basically all veterans who have fought their way up from the battlefield.

"Director Wang, the main reason I'm here today is to report to you on some recent thoughts within our institute. It seems like things are starting to get a little off!"

At first, Director Wang didn't take it too seriously because so many people reported their problems to him every day. The neighborhood office was a place for dealing with everyday matters.

But a few minutes later, his expression quickly turned ugly. "What did you say!"

"Is Yi Zhonghai protecting Sha Zhu?"

"Who else said that the deaf old lady in your compound is a martyr's family member, and who else said that she worked as a shoemaker in the army? Isn't that pure nonsense?"

"And that Jia Zhangshi, does she really always spread those supernatural and ghostly theories?"

"Director, first of all, the system of the management of the college is indeed very good, but I'm afraid it will be exploited by people with ulterior motives, and they will form their own independent kingdoms in the future!" Xu Damao did not mention anyone's name, but the meaning he expressed was already very clear.

Yes, they're tattling!
"Sha Zhu wields power at the steel mill, extorting and taking bribes. He secretly steals food from the workers in Hekou every time. The evidence is conclusive, and he's been detained by the security department. But Yi Zhonghai claims it's charity work. Isn't that a clear distortion of the truth?" "The whole hospital knows about Jia Zhangshi's affairs. She always tries to justify herself with unreasonable arguments. Anyone who crosses her is always talking about Old Jia and Jia Dongxu. I think this kind of rhetoric is wrong and seriously hinders the development of civilization in our neighborhood!"

"As for the deaf old lady, I really don't know much about that. I just feel there's something wrong with her identity, so I came to bring it up with you!"

An over eighty-year-old deaf woman claims to be the oldest resident in the courtyard house. So what is her true identity?
It's impossible that he's a family member of a martyr, because if he really were, Director Wang from the neighborhood office would have come to visit him during the holidays this year. Moreover, for an elderly person of his age living alone, someone would definitely be arranged to take care of him. Obviously, the old man didn't receive such instructions, otherwise it would have been publicized extensively long ago.

As for making shoes for the team, that's nonsense. She's already over 80 years old this year, and even 20 years ago she would have been over 60. It's common knowledge that there were no teams active near 49 cities before liberation, so who would she be making shoes for?
Why would you expect a 70-year-old woman with bound feet to travel thousands of miles to the south just to deliver some shoes?
It is obvious that the deaf old woman is lying in order to assert her own value and cover up some shadows of the past.

Of course, the online speculation that she's a spy is also incorrect. First of all, no one would recruit a woman in her seventies or eighties as a spy, and even if it were true, the public would have already uncovered it.

Director Wang of the neighborhood office is no joke. He experienced gunfire during the war, not to mention the police station, security department and all sorts of other institutions. If he could really hide now, he definitely wouldn't care about these trivial matters, for fear of attracting attention and being exposed.

So what is the identity of this deaf woman who is over 80 years old?
Xu Damao recalled the original owner's memories. His cheap father, Xu Laoxie, had once said that this old lady was the oldest resident of the courtyard house, and had lived there before the liberation.

Considering her age and other perspectives, this knowledgeable deaf old woman is no ordinary person. In addition, her usual behavior shows that even in her 80s she still loves meat, and Grandpa Yi has to treat her to meals from time to time.

The most likely explanation is that she was the mistress of a former prince or nobleman. It's even possible that she secretly escaped from this courtyard house before the prince or nobleman squandered his fortune.

The reason she was a mistress and not the legal wife was because she didn't care about relationships between men and women. Logically speaking, an elderly woman of her age should be very conservative.
However, in the original drama, she allowed Lou Xiao'e and Sha Zhu to live together before they got married. This is something that most elderly people would not do easily, and this method is somewhat unseemly and not something a legal wife would do.

"Of course something's wrong!" Director Wang declared firmly. "I know the identities of every family member of a martyr in our neighborhood perfectly well!"

“At that time, I was just a deputy director. She was only granted the status of a ‘five-guarantee household’ because she was old and had no children to take care of her, and she also voluntarily contributed her extra property!”

"Her identity is not complicated!"

"Wait a minute, I'll make a call!" Director Wang used the street office's phone to call the steel rolling mill's security department directly.

The two were of equal status, and after a brief understanding of the situation, Director Wang had a clear idea of ​​how to resolve the matter. At this moment, he even felt a surge of anger!
Sha Zhu's situation is serious in some ways, but not so serious in others. The key issue is whether he has anyone protecting him. Furthermore, the workers are quite agitated, which is why he hasn't been released. The security department is also considering how to handle the situation. However, since there are currently no surveillance cameras, the investigation can only be conducted through interviews, which will take time.

But since he was caught red-handed, the meal consisted of more than ten kilograms of meat shared among several thousand people. Each person probably wouldn't even get a taste of the meat. Yet, he managed to pour a whole kilogram into his lunchbox!
What is this behavior?
Isn't that blatant poaching?

And they even gave the security department eye drops. How do they usually work?
And if the Jia Zhangshi affair is confirmed, it will be even more infuriating!
At least Sha Zhu's side has the security department to help share the burden, but Jia Zhangshi, who is unemployed, is entirely the responsibility of the street office!

There's an old saying that goes, "Being an official in the capital is no easy task. There are countless superiors and subordinates. If even one person happens to pass by a courtyard and hears her chanting 'Soul Summoning,' wouldn't that be blatant slander?"

"That Yi Zhonghai, really... never mind, I'll go back to the hospital with you. We have to resolve this matter today!"

Director Wang was able to recognize the seriousness of the matter, and she had a long-term vision. This kind of bad trend had to be eliminated. The identity of "Grandpa of the Management Institute" was originally used to eliminate enemy agents, but it was not a tool for him to benefit himself.

Director Wang didn't go alone; he called a few young staff members from the street office, and also picked up two police officers from the neighboring office. They were there with the intention of dealing with the person in question!
To be continued...
