The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

What do you mean by that?

He Yuzhu said to Yi Zhonghai:

"What do you mean? Humph, if your ears are useless, then go deaf, just like the old lady, so you can't hear anything."

I told you, we've moved out, and we're going to run our small canteen together with our current neighbors.

What? Not being with you means going against the country?

My God, you said you didn't want to turn back the clock, and that running a small canteen meant you were conforming to national policy.

"If someone opens a small canteen, they're going against the government. What? Are you the government?"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yi Zhonghai was at a loss for words.

After all, it was he who said those words. He never expected He Yuzhu to be so good at labeling people!

Yi Zhonghai was so anxious he didn't know what to say.

The deaf old lady realized that if she didn't speak up, Yi Zhonghai would have no way to back down, and she couldn't rely on He Yuzhu anymore.

They can only rely on Yi Zhonghai. If Yi Zhonghai is removed from office, then they will have no one to take care of them.

For so many years, an older woman has been cooking for her, the deaf old lady said:

"Zhu Zi, don't speak so harshly. Yi Zhonghai only made a slip of the tongue."

Didn't I want to take this opportunity to spend quality time with you all, so that you wouldn't come to this courtyard after you left?

I didn't think much of it. If you don't want to think about it, then don't. How can you say that?

He Yuzhu said calmly:

"What? Now you don't want to admit it? Didn't my dad refuse him? He refused him more than once or twice, didn't he?"

But how did Yi Zhonghai do it?

Yi Zhonghai remained silent, because he knew that no matter what he said, He Yuzhu would definitely accuse him.

The deaf old woman sighed and said:

"Alright, if you don't want to get along with these old neighbors, then don't come."

Why be so aggressive?

He Yuzhu said with a smile:

"Did I force him? If my father had refused once, Yi Zhonghai would have stopped looking for him, and I wouldn't have come either."

But what did Yi Zhonghai do?

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said:

"Alright, since you've put it that way, I won't force you!"

However, He Yuzhu could see the resentment in Yi Zhonghai's eyes.

Xu Damao dared not speak now, after all, Yi Zhonghai had been roasted like this by He Yuzhu.

If I were to do it myself, I wouldn't know how it would go.

So Xu Damao died in the crash, but he couldn't know that it was his own scheme to kill He Yuzhu.

Let He Yuzhu know, I don't even know what will happen to him yet.

Yi Zhonghai said:

“He Yuzhu, you and Dad were originally going to come back, but since you're not coming back, then you won't. This is your own decision.”

You will have to bear the consequences yourselves!

At this moment, Director Wang came out:

"What are the consequences? Tell me!"

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's useless appearance, Director Wang was disdainful, when he saw the director of the street office arrive.

Liu Haizhong quickly stood up and said:

"Director Wang, what brings you here? You didn't even tell me you were coming so I could have picked you up!"

Director Wang knew what kind of person Liu Haizhong was. He knew that Liu Haizhong was really not a good person. If he weren't a level 6 forging worker at the steel rolling mill, he really wouldn't want to hire him!

Director Wang ignored Liu Haizhong and asked Yi Zhonghai directly:

"Yi Zhonghai, I chose you to be the head of this compound, not so you could bully and oppress others."

It's for the benefit of all residents. If you can't do it, I'll find someone else to do it. If neither of you can do it...

So I'll come here myself. This little canteen is quite good, but is it a tool you're using to threaten ordinary people?

Did you know?

If I find out again that you're using that damn "big shot" title to bully others, then you'd better watch out for the consequences!

Yi Zhonghai did not expect that Director Wang would not give him any face at all.

However, Yi Zhonghai was aware of Director Wang's power, and he said with a wry smile:

"Director Wang, I just thought He Yuzhu and He Daqing are good cooks and wanted everyone to eat well."

"I had no other intentions than to think about the well-being of the compound!"

He Yuzhu almost laughed in anger when he heard Yi Zhonghai's words. At this point, Yi Zhonghai was still using moral blackmail.

They moved themselves and He Daqing to the entire compound.

He Yuzhu said:

"Uncle, you're really good at using moral blackmail. Since you're so concerned about the compound..."

Why don't you use your own salary to subsidize the entire hospital?

As far as I know, no one in the entire compound earns as much as you, right?

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai immediately objected:

"I earned my money through my own abilities, and I didn't prevent you from making money, did I?"

Besides, I'm so old, and I don't even have any children. Shouldn't I save some money for my retirement?

He Yuzhu smiled:

"Haha, what are you saying? Everyone makes money through their own abilities."

Who doesn't support a family? My dad had three children. Now I don't need my dad anymore, but he still has two daughters.

Besides, why should my dad be the one to receive benefits from the compound?

There are plenty of good cooks out there, why don't you go find one?

Director Wang didn't want to dwell on the matter any longer and said directly:

"Yi Zhonghai, this is the last time. If you cause any more trouble, then this old man will be replaced."

Also, He Daqing and He Yuzhu have already moved out, so there's nothing for you to do with them anymore.

You'll only have the right to mediate when they move back in.

Furthermore, I would like to reiterate that the steward of the courtyard house has no right to make demands or requests.

Its role is to mediate conflicts between neighbors; if there are illegal activities, the magistrate in charge has no right to intervene.

Only the security department, the street office, or the public security bureau are qualified.

The head steward's main responsibility was to keep an eye out for enemy agents.

Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, understand?

Upon hearing this, all three nodded in agreement.

"Understood!"

Director Wang said:

"And this little canteen is quite nice, but we can't just impose quotas on people. Our country is a democratic one."

We can't let this become a one-man show. And people like you, if anyone tries to run a one-man show here again, we'll report them to the neighborhood committee.

I will not tolerate this! Do you all understand?

The people in the compound answered in unison:

"Understood!"

Seeing this, He Yuzhu knew that he had achieved his purpose in coming here. Wasn't Yi Zhonghai trying to cause trouble?

So, to undermine his authority, He Yuzhu didn't say much.

To put it simply:

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now!"

Director Wang nodded:

"Okay, let's go together!"

Director Wang left with He Yuzhu without consulting these people.
