Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

The picket quickly pried it open, and the smile in his bangs froze. It was indeed a secret compartment, but unfortunately, it was empty.
"There must be something here. The signs of prying are all light. The best time to move it was last night. Bring the old lady in. Be polite!"

Liu Haizhong discovered that he was negligent. The fact that there was no movement before midnight did not mean that there would be no movement later. In other words, Yi Zhonghai had moved the things away!

"Old lady, the stubble is all new. What on earth did you hide? This is a task from above. Please don't make it difficult for me!"

Liu Haizhong stared at the deaf old lady intently. The older you are, the wiser you are. But one step behind!
"Liu Haizhong, I am alone and I can't hide, right? Besides, I am not an employee of your steel mill. The patrol team of the factory can't find me, right?"

The deaf old lady looked at Liu Haizhong calmly. From the Qing Dynasty to the present, she had seen too many things and people change. Liu Haizhong wanted to yell, but he was almost there.

"Old lady, you are wrong this time. The factory has coordinated with the street office;
The compound where all the mill workers lived was under the management of the mill committee;

Therefore, you can rest assured that the subdistrict committee has authorized it and it is not against the rules! "

Liu Haizhong looked at the deaf old lady with a smile. She had been the patrol leader for several months. How could there be any problems with the procedures? Moreover, when Li Huaide was drawing the pie, the deaf old lady was already the meat on the sticky board. These possible obstacles had already been dealt with;
Over such a long period of time, under the guidance of He Yuzhu, Liu Haizhong not only understood the precautions for dealing with leaders, but also understood one thing: no unit can cross the line, this is the rule;

In the eyes of the neighborhood office, if he dealt with the deaf old lady without asking, it would be overstepping his boundaries. Although most of the people in the compound were factory employees, there were some who were not, and that was the problem;

Before departure, after Liu Haizhong reported his idea, Li Huaide nodded with satisfaction. Although his rank was higher than that of the subdistrict office, he could not cross the line.
This is a rule that everyone must abide by. Otherwise, after the street office reports it, even if he has the support of his father-in-law, Mr. Song, he will end up in disgrace.

The deaf old lady's face looked very unhappy. It seemed that this ungrateful person had set his sights on her, otherwise, he would not have been so well prepared.
Fortunately, he was prepared. Otherwise, the general's knife of Jiaobenji would have caused him trouble. When the higher-ups saw that thing, they would definitely investigate.

"Old lady, will you tell the truth? Or go to the steel mill? From an emotional point of view, I certainly hope that you can live a happy life;
But, this is the situation now. If I fail to complete the task, I will not be able to explain myself when I return. Can you please understand and cooperate with me to complete the task?"

Liu Haizhong still hopes that the deaf old lady can hand it over voluntarily. If Director Li is happy, his goal can be achieved. Besides, what is the point of having so much gold and silver?

The deaf old lady has her own house, and her food is guaranteed by Yi Zhonghai. She can't be buried with him when she dies, so what's the point of keeping her? It's better to give her a chance for promotion. This is called rational use of resources.

"Liu Haizhong, I'm an old woman who never goes out of the house. I only have so many things in my house. You can take whatever you like.
Neighbors, my wife's meals are brought to her by the Zhonghai family, and she doesn't spend much money in a year, so how could she possibly have something from 'Sijiu'?"

The deaf old lady would never tell Liu Haizhong. If she told him about that thing, Zhuzi would definitely hand it over. Then he would be investigated thoroughly.

"Yes, everyone in the neighborhood knows how much stuff the old lady has at home. Uncle, you are not only the patrol leader, but also the manager of the compound. Don't be so unkind!"

"That's right, you've searched and looked, and digging three feet into the ground is enough, right? That's enough, do you really want to drive the old lady to death?"...

The people who stayed behind in the compound were all women. They didn't have as many concerns as the men, and they didn't speak up for the deaf old lady. They just felt sad for the loss of the rabbit.

Liu Haizhong was instantly surrounded by thousands of ducks. The patrol members were confused as to why the captain was staring at a person whose body was mostly buried in the ground.
Liu Haizhong's anger grew. He never expected that he would be attacked by the neighbors. This was undoubtedly a challenge to his authority and could not be tolerated!
"That's not necessarily true. The most mysterious person in our compound is the old lady. Who knows if she has any treasures? Besides, if there are no treasures, will the Yi family serve her?"

While everyone was discussing, Jia Zhang's voice appeared, her face full of the pleasure of revenge and a hint of viciousness;
The old man had suppressed her for decades, and now there was finally a chance to discipline him. How could she let it go?

"Zhang girl, what do you want to do here? You're determined to take advantage of me, right?"

The deaf old lady was shaking with anger, and she saw that she was gaining the upper hand with the support of her neighbors;
This pious woman who has brought misfortune upon her husband and children jumped out to add insult to injury. Is she still a human being?

"Hmph, Captain Liu, I'm reporting you under my real name. The deaf old lady is hiding things from the previous dynasty. It's fine if she takes them out often to reminisce, but she also kowtows to them every day!"

Jia Zhang didn't care about the deaf old lady, and even less about the neighbors. She only had one grandson, who should have been brought out, but because he had a fight with others, he continued to be reformed in a work-study school;
She has long been alone, and those who have bullied her and the Jia family cannot be let off. This is because she has not found evidence that the He family has violated any rules, otherwise, the He family would also be within her scope of revenge;

"Ms. Jia Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about? How much stuff does the old lady have in her hands? How could we, the neighbors, not know? You are making false accusations. Captain Liu, you need to clear the old lady's name!"

Yi Li was horrified. How could this old woman bite like a mad dog? This is not the same as before. Can you say such things casually?

I heard from Zhonghai that many leaders of the steel rolling mill were dismissed for some trivial matters. Now that the old woman jumped out at this time, can the old lady get better?
"Humph, you old hen that doesn't lay eggs, what are you two old people thinking? Others may not know, but I should know? Humph..."

Jia Zhang didn't believe that there was no giving without reason in the world. Yi Zhonghai and his wife must have some ulterior motives for treating the old man like this.

Why did Yi Zhonghai devote himself to the Jia family? Wasn't it because he had a crush on Dongxu and wanted his son to support the hypocrite couple in their old age?
What happened next? After his son died, Yi Zhonghai avoided the Jia family as much as possible. Isn’t this the best example?
Isn't it profitable for the old man to make the hypocrite work hard? Although she couldn't guess the real purpose, it was nothing more than money;

"Jia Zhang, are you sure you're reporting this with your real name? This is no joke!"

Liu Haizhong didn't care about Jia Zhang's purpose, he just wanted an excuse, someone sent a pillow when he was sleepy, is there anything better than this? (End of this chapter)
