Siheyuan: Let Yourself Go He Yuzhu

Chapter 33 The so-called uncle is just Yi Zhonghai's tool
"I mean you broke the law, you committed a crime. I, He Yuzhu, am notorious in your eyes for not respecting the elderly and the young, and for not respecting elders, but I didn't break the law."

"And you, the elders, keep talking about morality, but you are breaking the law! Yi Zhonghai, your so-called morality is nothing but a tool for you to commit crimes."

"Every time something happens in our courtyard, we talk to you about reason, and you talk to us about morality; we talk to you about morality, and you talk to us about the law;"

"We talked to you about the law, and you played tricks on us; we played tricks on you, and you talked to us about reason."

"Whenever you can't win an argument with us, you'll say something like it takes two to tango. Putting aside the facts, you're not wrong. In short, no matter what, you're right and we're wrong."

"Dear leaders and everyone, do you know why Yi Zhonghai and his people repeatedly stressed and even forced us to call them Uncle No. 1, Uncle No. 2, Uncle No. 3?"

"They are just confusing concepts. They tie responsibilities to seniority and naturally stand on the moral high ground. When they say I am your uncle, they are superior to you in terms of seniority."

"Respecting the elderly and loving the young is our traditional virtue, but they use it as a tool to oppress us, exploit us, and shit and piss on our necks."

"There is nothing wrong with traditional virtues such as respecting the elderly and loving the young. What is wrong is that they distorted this concept, first using power to suppress us, and then secretly using small tricks to force us."

"So as to achieve their ulterior motives!"

"I'll use Supervisor Xu Damao as an example. Everyone says Xu Damao is bad, a born bad guy with sores on his head and pus on his feet."

"I want to ask everyone, has Xu Damao ever done anything that would enrage God and man? I also want to ask Director Zhang and Section Chief Chu, has Xu Damao ever done anything that violates the law or discipline?" He Yuzhu shouted loudly.

He Yuzhu did this not to whitewash Xu Damao, but to let everyone see the true face of Yi Zhonghai and others.

He Yuzhu couldn't try to please Xu Damao deliberately, nor could he beat Xu Damao up whenever he saw him like he did before. He Yuzhu just treated Xu Damao as a passerby.

Now, He Yuzhu also hopes that the previous Sha Zhu did not kick Xu Damao into extinction, otherwise, Sha Zhu’s sin would be great. Since He Yuzhu has inherited Sha Zhu’s cause, he must understand Sha Zhu’s result.

Just as everyone in the courtyard was thinking about it, Chief Zhang spoke up, "Xu Damao has not done anything illegal or disorderly. The police station does not have a criminal record for Xu Damao, and no one has accused Xu Damao of doing anything illegal or disorderly."

"The steel mill's security department doesn't have any criminal record for Xu Damao. Someone asked the security department to carry Xu Damao, but after investigation, we found that it was all nonsense and the claim was made with malicious intent." Chief Chu continued.

Everyone in the courtyard then realized that Xu Damao had never done anything bad. At most, Xu Damao looked down on people and ignored them, but he had never cheated you or harmed you. Well, maybe he had cheated Sha Zhu.

Xu Damao really didn't expect He Yuzhu to clear his name. At this time, Xu Damao was very entangled and a little annoyed. He wanted to thank He Yuzhu, but he couldn't bring himself to do so; if he didn't thank He Yuzhu, Xu Damao felt a little awkward.

Just when Xu Damao was in a dilemma, He Yuzhu spoke.

"Everyone understands, right? Because Xu Damao is smart and a projectionist, Yi Zhonghai can't control Xu Damao no matter he is in the courtyard or in the steel mill. So, Yi Zhonghai first spread rumors, slandering Xu Damao as a born bad seed, and then tricked me into beating Xu Damao every day. In this way, Xu Damao can't jump up and can't get out of Yi Zhonghai's control."

"Here, I want to apologize to Xu Damao. I trusted the wrong people before and was led by someone with malicious intent. So, I will not come here to talk nonsense and do something real. Please ask Director Yang to say hello to the finance department tomorrow. My salary for this month will be collected by Xu Damao." He Yuzhu said. He Yuzhu knew that Xu Damao was very proud. If he told others about this, Xu Damao would feel much more proud. It was much better than paying him money on the spot.

"Hey, silly... He Yuzhu, do I need this little money from you? What I want is your attitude, that's all. He Yuzhu is open-minded, I'm not short of anything either, everyone is here, be my witness, I don't want his money, I've put the past between He Yuzhu and me behind me." Xu Damao said openly and generously.

This kind of face-saving thing is much more important than money, so Xu Damao naturally wants to show off and at the same time leave a good impression on the leaders.

"Now everyone understands the good intentions of Director Wang and District Leader Director Zheng. They want to prevent us from being exploited and oppressed by Yi Zhonghai and his people."

"Director Wang manages so many courtyards, and it is impossible for him to visit our courtyard every day, so he specially set up the position of supervisor to supervise the mediator."

"The supervisor is not a leader and can only supervise the mediator. He has no other power and cannot have any influence on everyone. When everyone has problems, they can find the supervisor while looking for the mediator to supervise the mediator to prevent the mediator from favoring one side."

"I believe everyone has experienced this kind of humiliation, right? Therefore, Director Wang and other leaders have introduced this regulation for the benefit of everyone. What do you think, is it good?" He Yuzhu said.

"Good!" Except for a few individuals, everyone in the courtyard shouted in unison, because these people had suffered such humiliation and loss before, so they naturally supported it.

"No matter how we address you, do we have to call you uncles?" a voice came from the crowd.

"Let me clarify here that the street elected mediators and supervisors, and never said that they elected uncles. Yi Zhonghai asked us to call him uncle in order to achieve his ulterior motives. Don't be fooled."

"As for the name, you can call me whatever you want, as long as it doesn't contain any malicious or insulting words. You can call me He Yuzhu, Zhuzi, Yuzhu, or even Chef He or Cook He."

"Let's talk about Liu Haizhong again. Liu Haizhong, you claim to be very smart, but you are actually a fool and are willing to be used as a gun by Yi Zhonghai. Initially, when the street was electing mediators, they took into account that our courtyard is divided into three courtyards, the front, the middle, and the back, so they chose three mediators, and each mediator was responsible for one courtyard."

"Yi Zhonghai, for his ambition, had to rank them by age. This way, he would logically become the eldest uncle, and you would become the second uncle, so he would be a head taller than you."

"But don't forget that when Director Wang of the street chose you as mediators, you were in a parallel relationship. Tell me, are you stupid? You were sold out and still helped them count the money." He Yuzhu sneered.

"I would like to apologize to everyone here. Due to the negligence of our subdistrict office, Yi Zhonghai took advantage of the situation. I reiterate that the subdistrict office selected mediators, not the boss!"

"The mediators are set up to prevent enemy agents and convey instructions from higher authorities. If conflicts or disputes arise in the hospital, you can ask the mediators to mediate or not. The mediators do not have the right to force mediation."

“Please do not understand mediators as the village headmen or clan leaders of the old world. Mediators do not have any rights. Do you understand?” Director Wang stepped forward and said.

"I understand!" Xu Damao took the lead and shouted loudly like a donkey.

"If sir... no, there is a conflict between the mediator and the supervisor, who should we listen to?" a voice came from the crowd.
