Siheyuan: Return to the Era of Prosperity

Chapter 55 Failed
The deaf old lady asked anxiously, "Is there nothing you can do?"

"It's difficult. The main reason is that Sha Zhu attacked him secretly, and Xu Damao didn't fight back. It was completely Sha Zhu's one-sided beating. It's very difficult to make Sha Zhu return safely. I have to think of a way."

Although the deaf old lady was knowledgeable, how could she be compared with people like Yang Guofeng who were involved in official circles? She just thought that this matter was indeed difficult to handle.

How could Yang Guofeng know that today's big capitalists are trying their best to avoid dealing with the government? Relying on these relationships, he had to sell Lou Zhenhua this face.

The deaf old lady pleaded, "Xiao Yang, Madam, this is all I want to ask of you. Just rescue my eldest grandson Sha Zhu, and I will never trouble you again in the future."

"Madam, look at what you said. We are so happy that you came to us to do something. Don't worry, we will try our best to rescue Sha Zhu." Yang Guofeng said with a smile, thinking that he could finally fulfill his oath.

"Xiao Yang, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Madam, please go back and wait for news. I will send someone to find you as soon as there is any situation."

"Okay, Xiao Yang, if you pay more attention, I'll leave Sha Zhu to you." The deaf old lady emphasized.

After seeing off Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady, Yang Guofeng happily called Haiding District Deputy Mayor Zong Mingyang and told him the deaf old lady's request.

"Old Yang, this is really good news. I will go find the police and you contact the family members, and then we will meet at the Jiaodaokou Police Station." Zong Mingyang said happily.

It turned out that Yang Guofeng, Zong Mingyang and others were engaged in underground activities and were discovered by Xiao Rizi. They were facing huge danger and might be sacrificed at any time.

At the critical moment, the deaf old lady's husband Wei Tianbo saved them, but in order to save a few people, he sacrificed himself.

In order to repay Wei Tianbo for saving their lives, Yang Guofeng and others swore in front of his grave that they would support and take care of his parents, wife and children.

However, the last few people discovered that Mr. Wei's parents had already passed away, and his first wife and children had also died at the hands of bandits.

The deaf old lady was his subsequent wife, and the two had no children.

The only thing left for the few people to do was to take care of the deaf old lady. They originally thought of sending her to the rear and raising her together.

But the deaf old lady was not a content person. Even though she was over 40 years old, she still became the mistress of a wealthy businessman because of her charm.

Yang Guofeng and his friends originally thought that they would not be able to fulfill the oath they made to Mr. Wei in this lifetime. However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the deaf old lady came to them on her own initiative.

After discussing it, they went to pay tribute to Mr. Wei and told him what had happened.

We promised to do three things for the deaf old lady as a way to repay Mr. Wei for saving her life.

So far, the deaf old lady has done favors twice.

The first time was when Zong Mingyang helped her apply for the five-guarantee household and gave her a house at No. 95, Nanluoguo Lane.

The second time was to help Yi Zhonghai upgrade to level six fitter. Originally, Yi Zhonghai's level was at most level five, and not even a very high level five.

Originally it was only a fifth-level junior level, but after Yang Guofeng's operation, Yi Zhonghai became a fifth-level fitter.

Today, the deaf old lady made a new request. How could he not be happy? It was time to fulfill the oath he made to Mr. Wei.

The two exchanged their views on the matter and both believed that this matter would not be difficult to handle given their current social status.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Guofeng took some fruits and asked the driver to go to the hospital where Xu Damao was being treated.

"Director Yang, why are you here?" Xu Fugui knew the relationship between Yang Guofeng and the deaf old lady, so he deliberately asked. Yang Guofeng saw that Xu Damao had bandages and cloth wrapped around his head, and it looked very serious, but as long as he was not dead, there was room for recovery.

"I came to see Xu Damao and let him eat some fruit to replenish his nutrition! How is he now?" Yang Guofeng said.

"Not very good." Xu Fugui said helplessly.
"I sympathize with what happened to Xu Damao. I heard that Xu Damao and He Yuzhu had a fight and Xu Damao was sent to the hospital. What about He Yuzhu?" Yang Guofeng said deliberately.

Xu Fugui looked at Yang Guofeng and thought: Damn it, even if you are the factory director, don't think you can get away with it so easily.

"The case has entered the judicial process. You should wait until the public security investigation is completed and the court makes its verdict before asking any questions." Xu Fugui said neither lightly nor seriously.

Yang Guofeng was a little embarrassed. He had just subconsciously chosen the solution that was most beneficial to himself, and he regretted it as soon as he said it out loud.

He originally thought that it was a mutual fight, and he could solve the deaf old lady's request without having to pay much. However, as he was talking, he remembered what the deaf old lady said, that it was Sha Zhu who unilaterally beat Xu Damao.

The key point is that Xu Damao is not a person without a backer, and it will be more troublesome if he does not accept mediation!

"Da Mao's father, Xu Damao and He Yuzhu are both employees of the steel rolling mill. It won't look good if their fight is made public. Do you think it can be mediated privately?" Yang Guofeng knew there was no way to fool them, so he could only get straight to the point.

Xu Fugui nodded. He knew that with the other party's status, if he really wanted to risk his life, he could save Sha Zhu. There was no need for him to fight to the death with the other party.

After this incident, the other party repaid the deaf old lady's favor, and I can retaliate against her later.

No matter what, Yang Guofeng is Damao's leader, so it should be no problem for him to deal with his own son. It is not advisable to offend him too much.

However, he had to get all the benefits he deserved, so he pretended not to know the relationship between him and the deaf old lady.

In the name of mediation, Sha Zhu still had to pay compensation. Even if he asked for more, Yang Guofeng would not be able to make any excuses.

"This is our Damao's medical record. Please take a look at it first." Xu Fugui thought about this and handed the medical record to Yang Guofeng.

Yang Guofeng took it and looked at it. It was a "severe concussion" with sequelae. He knew it couldn't be solved easily. This Sha Zhu was really cruel and kept making things difficult for him.

Xu Fugui took back Xu Damao's medical records and said, "Please tell us about the mediation method first and see if we can accept it."

Yang Guofeng really didn't understand this kind of vulgar stuff, so he said, "It's really not appropriate to discuss things in the hospital. I'll arrange for a driver to pick you up and take you to the police station for the discussion tomorrow."

Xu Fugui nodded and agreed.

As soon as Yang Guofeng left, Xu Damao asked the question in his mind: "Dad, didn't you say you wanted to use up the favor of the deaf old lady? Why did you contradict Director Yang?"

"Da Mao, we can't let Director Yang succeed in mediation easily this time. If it's too easy, he might think that he didn't repay his favor enough. Perhaps he will continue to help the deaf old lady later. Only if he feels it is difficult and the mediation is achieved under numerous difficulties, he will think that he played a big role and repaid his favor. If the deaf old lady goes to him again, do you think Director Yang will do things for her again?" Xu Fugui gently taught his son some social etiquette.

"Well, I understand. It's just like pursuing a woman. The easier it is to get her, the less you cherish her. The more it costs, the more you will cherish her." Xu Damao summed it up with his method of pursuing women.

"You, you better be careful. Be careful not to encounter ghosts when walking on the road at night. If something really happens, it will be like eating peanuts." Xu Fugui warned.

"Dad, I'm just making an analogy. I'm not really going out to fool around."

As the two were talking, they heard the conversation between Lou Xiao'e and Damao's mother in the corridor and quickly changed the subject.
