Courtyard house: Just the right amount of pressure, leaving you bewildered but not brain-damaged.

In terms of good intentions leading to bad outcomes, Li Shuguo is a model of competence in the security department.

He coughed twice, which frightened Jia Dongxu so much that he didn't dare to say a word, and covered his face and shook his head frantically.

"Alright, Dongxu, change your clothes first. Let's go out and get some dirt so we can sweep the floor clean in a bit."

Yi Zhonghai turned to look at Li Shuguo, grabbed Jia Zhangshi who was about to throw a tantrum, and put the wrapped clothes and shoes on the table.

"Think about it, who likes to slap others? Do you even need to ask?"

Upon leaving the detention cell, Yi Zhonghai's single sentence firmly pinned the blame on Gao Xiaosheng.

"I knew it was that little brat surnamed Gao!" Jia Zhangshi said, brandishing a broom.

"Zhonghai, you have to help Dongxu, and also help me and yourself get revenge. Teach that brat a lesson."

Jia Zhangshi is unreasonable, but she is not stupid at all.

On the contrary, she saw through these things in the courtyard and Yi Zhonghai's little schemes very clearly.

After all, they are old neighbors and old friends who have known each other for twenty years. Even if I can't see right through them, I can at least guess what's going on.

Yi Zhonghai, an old man without a family line, was most afraid of being bullied by the people in the courtyard in his later years.

Therefore, in recent years, he has been trying to control the power in the hospital, and he often finds excuses to hold a hospital-wide meeting to establish his authority. He also keeps saying things like "respect the elderly and care for the young, help each other" and "there are no bad elders, only bad juniors".

Relying on his status as a genuine member of the working class and one of only two intermediate-level workers in the compound, he did indeed gain the recognition of the military control committee and the street office.

Those who opposed Yi Zhonghai, He Daqing ran away, Xu Fugui chickened out, Liu Haizhong was recruited as "Second Uncle", and even Sun Youtian, who had only recently moved in and was stubborn, was dealt with by Yi Zhonghai several times and had to swallow his anger.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai had already achieved his initial goal, as long as he continued to intimidate and win over new residents, even in his old age and declining health, his influence would still remain.

With Jia Dongxu's help, he should have no problem living out his old age in peace.

But now, with the troublemaker Gao Xiaosheng around, not only Yi Zhonghai, but the prestige of the three managers has plummeted.

Everyone in the courtyard has seen this.

Not to mention the huge mess that Xiao Sheng caused on his first day here, he hasn't called anyone "Uncle 1" or "Uncle 2" once in all these days.

On the contrary, the "residential supervisors," who were almost forgotten by everyone, are increasingly showing signs of replacing the "housekeepers" again.

Even an honest man like Sun Youtian has been corrupted by Gao Xiaosheng. Lately, he no longer calls people "Grandpa" and keeps saying "E-House Manager" and "Liu House Manager" all the time.

Jia Zhangshi had sharp eyes. Every time Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui heard Sun Youtian address them that way, their faces would turn ashen.

They might nod in agreement on the surface, but they might be cursing you out in their hearts.

"Sister-in-law, this matter cannot be rushed; we must consider it carefully."

Yi Zhonghai paused his broom on the ground for a while, then slowly shook his head.

He certainly wanted to teach Gao Xiaosheng a lesson, embarrass Sun Youtian, and also get He Yuzhu to discipline Yushui properly so she wouldn't hang out with Gao Xiaosheng all the time.

But while you may have these thoughts, you shouldn't act impulsively.

Unlike the honest and simple-minded Sun Youtian, Gao Xiaosheng is an unpredictable person who can drag Director Wang into even the smallest things.

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to make another public apology; not only would he lose face, but his authority as the manager couldn't withstand such treatment.

"Zhonghai, I'm not trying to criticize you, but your biggest flaw is that you have too many ideas."

Looking around, Jia Zhangshi saw Li Shuguo smoking in the distance, and whispered a complaint to Yi Zhonghai.

"Even without the Dongxu incident, you still need to hurry up and suppress Gao Xiaosheng."

"He's only been here a few days, and that little brat Yu Shui keeps calling him 'Brother Sheng,' even more affectionately than she is to Sha Zhu."

"Sun Youtian would visit Gao Xiaosheng's house every few days."

"If I remember correctly, Sha Zhu also ate with Gao Xiaosheng twice."

"What if new residents move into the front yard one day? Can you guarantee that Yan Bugui will be able to hold onto his position as the third uncle?"

"If they create divisions and hold their own secret meetings, you'll be completely caught off guard."

Jia Zhangshi was not exaggerating or deliberately trying to scare Yi Zhonghai.

Although everyone is nominally a resident of No. 95 Courtyard and belongs to the same courtyard, according to the subdistrict office's division, they are actually treated as three separate courtyards.

One resident manager is assigned to each of the front, middle, and back courtyards. There is no particular ranking; they are all equals.

Once Gao Xiaosheng finds out Yan Bugui's weakness, he will indeed have a chance to take his place.

"He dares!" Yi Zhonghai slammed the broom heavily on the ground.

"Our compound is a residents' group, an inseparable whole. What right does he have to hold a private meeting?"

After venting his anger, Yi Zhonghai sighed again, "Sigh, sister-in-law, I understand what you mean. Let me think about it. I need to come up with a good way to prevent him from taking advantage of any loopholes."

"You can't even see the opportunities right in front of you? You're dreaming!"

With no outsiders present, Jia Zhangshi no longer needed to consider Yi Zhonghai's feelings.

To put it bluntly, according to the old saying "whoever feeds you is your mother," Yi Zhonghai was once Jia Zhangshi's "good son" a few years ago, sucking on her very diligently in the vegetable cellar.

"What opportunity? Tell me, sister-in-law."

Yi Zhonghai didn't care at all about Jia Zhangshi's reprimands; as long as there was a good idea, he was fine with being scolded.

"Isn't the neighborhood office holding a sanitation evaluation? Why don't you organize a meeting and encourage everyone in the compound to leave their doors unlocked and come in at any time to check for sanitation blind spots?"

"Gao Xiaosheng dares to oppose, which means he is going against the policies of the higher authorities. No matter how you deal with him, you are in the right."

"If he agrees, go and find fault with him. I don't believe a bachelor can keep the house spotless."

"There's dust under the bed. Call a hospital-wide meeting and give them a dressing down."

"The coal stove isn't clean, give him another scolding."

"It won't take long for that little brat to have enough. He'll start arguing with you to your face. Then you can ask the neighborhood committee to settle this and hang a white flag over his house. Let's see how he dares to act up again."

The saying "the most poisonous heart is a woman's" is absolutely true.

Jia Zhangshi's idea was ruthless and vicious, yet on the surface, there was nothing wrong with it.

The sanitation assessment is a long-term, routine activity organized by the "Patriotic Health Campaign Committee," which is implemented, supervised, and inspected at each level by the street office, neighborhood committee, and resident groups.

The main tasks are to sweep the courtyard once a day and to conduct a thorough cleaning of the alley once a week.

The courtyard includes not only the public areas but also the rooms inside each house.

The key point is that the inspection methods are diversified.

The method combines intra-group mutual inspection, cross-spot inspection, and random sampling inspection.

Simply put, residents in the same neighborhood group can visit each other's homes at any time to check on their hygiene, as can neighbors in neighboring neighborhood groups, and the neighborhood committee and street office conduct inspections at irregular intervals.

With a three-pronged approach, families that fail to meet hygiene standards will have a small white flag placed at their door, making them not only lose face but also the entire group.
