After saying that, Yi Zhonghai walked out of the room, slamming the door heavily before leaving.

He still feels resentful in his heart. If you give me a boy or a girl, will I worry about my retirement every day?

The aunt didn't dare to say anything more when she saw this, because she had always felt guilty towards Yi Zhonghai for not having a child.

Coincidentally, Yi Zhonghai had just gone out when he ran into Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao who were coming back together, and they ran into each other head on.

"Hey Lao Yi, why did I hear that you were demoted? Can you tell me what happened?"

Liu Haizhong asked with "concern".

Of course he would not miss this good opportunity to mock Yi Zhonghai.

If Liu Haizhong can't be let off, then Xu Damao can't be let off even more. He has been holding a grudge for a long time.

Chapter 58 The Deaf Old Lady is Busy

"Of course I made a mistake."

"I say, Yi Zhonghai, you are such a fool. How could you make such a big mistake? Because you won't get the civilized courtyard in our courtyard this year, you know?"

Xu Damao called him by his name, which was not only disrespectful but also had a tone of teaching.

What’s even more infuriating is that after they finished talking, the two of them looked at each other and laughed.

Who is Yi Zhonghai?

Old fox, a sly one.

"Yeah, I was careless. Just be more careful next time."

After saying a few vague words, Yi Zhonghai walked around the two people and left the yard.

He now has a new idea, to deal with Xu Damao first, because he must first stabilize the country before he can fight against foreign enemies.

But there are more important things to do before the new idea can be implemented.

Yi Zhonghai went out for a walk and the anger in his heart was almost gone, and his clever IQ took over again.

He bought some snacks and went straight to the backyard of the courtyard.

"Ma'am, I'm here to see you."

"Hey, Xiao Yi is here, come quickly."

The deaf old lady liked to stare out the window when she had nothing to do. She saw Yi Zhonghai as soon as he entered the backyard door, and she was holding some snacks.

It was her habit to observe the yard to see if anyone had anything delicious so that she could go and ask for it.

"Old lady, how are you feeling lately?"

Yi Zhonghai said this "respectfully" while placing the snacks in the most conspicuous position.

"Well, why not? If that little bastard hadn't gotten mad at me, I'd be better than anyone else."

"Hey, old lady, I came here to talk about this. Did you know that Zhuzi was fired from the factory?"

The deaf old lady was so shocked that she sat up and shouted:

"what?"

"You said Zhuzi was fired?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled inwardly, having taken the bait, but he still pretended to be very concerned on his face.

"Old lady, listen to me."

"Li Jianxun didn't like Zhuzi, so he deliberately tricked Zhuzi into giving him less food. Zhuzi really fell for it, but the little beast Li Jianxun went to complain to Director Li of the Logistics Department, and Director Li fired Zhuzi in a rage."

The deaf old lady's eyes were immediately filled with resentment, and the walking stick in her hand banged on the ground.

"I knew this little bastard was not a good person, but I didn't expect him to plot against Zhuzi. I still have some face in Xiao Yang's eyes. You should find a car to take me there quickly. It will be difficult to deal with it if it's too late."

"All right, old lady."

Yi Zhonghai went out in a hurry. He just wanted to borrow Yan Bugui's bicycle, but when he thought about Yan Laokou's expression, he gave up.

So they went to borrow a cart from next door, and drove the deaf old lady to the factory, fearing that if they were late, Director Yang would have gone off work.

On the way, Yi Zhonghai repeatedly told the deaf old lady not to mention Li Jianxun's matter, and just to let Sha Zhu keep his job.

He was afraid of being exposed, which would make Director Yang and Director Li even more unhappy.

Soon, Yi Zhonghai took the deaf old lady to the factory gate and contacted Director Yang through the security department.

The deaf old lady's husband had done Director Yang some favors in the past, so Director Yang felt embarrassed to refuse the meeting and had to let him in.

After arriving at the factory director's office, Director Yang stood up and smiled as he invited the deaf old lady in. When he saw Yi Zhonghai following closely behind her, he thought the deaf old lady was here to plead for Yi Zhonghai!

"Madam, why are you here? If you have anything to say, just bring a message and let me know."

The deaf old lady felt more at ease when she saw Director Yang's respectful attitude towards her.

She thought that as time went by, Director Yang had forgotten this kindness!

"Xiao Yang, I came back this time because I have something to ask you."

"Look at what you said. It's not like begging. If you have something to ask, just tell me. I will do what I can."

Director Yang did not dare to take on too much responsibility. If the deaf old lady made excessive demands, he would definitely not accept them.

"It's like this, Zhuzi, oh that's He Yuzhu, he's my grandson, he got into trouble this time because he was confused for a moment, but he's still a good person."

"I came here this time just to beg for mercy and see if you can let him come back. Don't worry, he will never dare to commit a crime again. If he commits a crime again, I will not forgive him."

Director Yang was a little surprised that he did not plead for Yi Zhonghai, but for He Yuzhu.

In fact, He Yuzhu's case was not serious. If Li Jianxun had not been involved, it would have been a trivial matter, but Li Jianxun was involved.

It was He Yuzhu's bad luck that he happened to run into Li Jianxun who went to inspect the food in the cafeteria.

Until now, Director Yang still thinks this is a coincidence.

"Old lady, you don't know that this is not a matter of whether I forgive He Yuzhu or not, but a matter of whether the workers forgive or not."

The deaf old lady was a little confused. How did this involve the workers?

Yi Zhonghai's face tightened. Something bad had happened. The secret had been exposed.

Director Yang saw the deaf old lady's expression and knew that she did not understand the "truth" of the matter, so he patiently repeated it.

The deaf old lady then understood what had happened. It turned out to be Sha Zhu's fault.

She also learned from Director Yang's description that Li Jianxun was an engineer and head of the technical department, which really scared her.

It now seems that although Li Jianxun was involved in this incident, it has "little to do" with him.

The deaf old lady turned her head and glared at Yi Zhonghai, quite dissatisfied. Yi Zhonghai looked a little embarrassed.

"Then I understand, Xiao Yang. This matter is indeed Zhuzi's fault, but knowing one's mistakes can lead to improvement. Old lady, I still hope that you can give him some face, otherwise he won't even be able to support himself."

Director Yang was silent for a while, and began to think internally, weighing the pros and cons.

"Well, since you, old lady, have asked me to do it, I have to save your face. How about this, let He Yuzhu come back, but he has to start as an apprentice. 18.5 yuan a month, is that okay with you?"

The deaf old lady obviously wanted to make some more demands.

"Xiao Yang, Zhuzi's craftsmanship..."

Before he could finish, Director Yang raised his hand to stop him.

“Old lady, my biggest concession in this matter is to let He Yuzhu come back, but he will start as an apprentice. Don’t mention anything else. I promised the workers that I would not agree to it.”

"Okay, that's it, as long as the pillar can come back."

The deaf old lady saw that Director Yang's face looked a little strange and stopped talking.

Anyway, with Sha Zhu's cooking skills, he will be able to improve in a year or two and eventually become a master chef.

The two exchanged polite greetings for a while before the deaf old lady left.

What she didn't know was that all the favors she had received in the past were ruined by this incident.

On the way back, Yi Zhonghai used sweet words to deceive the old lady in the name of protecting Sha Zhu, and asked her to go to Director Wang's house to plead for mercy and restore his title of uncle.

Without the title of uncle, some people in the courtyard began to ignore him. Some even worse, like Xu Damao, started to teach him a lesson, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

In the end, the deaf old lady weighed the pros and cons and agreed. The key was that it would be of great benefit to her.

Chapter 59 Lou Xiao'e's Missing Him

Soon, the two arrived at Director Wang's house. Director Wang was a little surprised and a little disgusted by the arrival of the old lady.

"Old lady, why are you here so late at night? Can't you talk about it tomorrow?"

"Xiao Wang, this is urgent, otherwise I wouldn't come to you now. There is something I want to trouble you with, old lady."

"Just tell me, I'm listening."

"It's like this. I'm here on behalf of the whole courtyard to ask you to restore Yi Zhonghai's title as the first uncle manager. Without him in charge, the courtyard is in chaos. How can it still be a civilized courtyard?"

"Besides, although he made a small mistake, he has now repented. And considering that he has been helpful in the past, let him go this time!"

When Director Wang heard about this, he refused on the spot without even thinking about it.

Making a mistake is indeed a small matter, but don’t you look at who you have offended?

You must be kidding. You offended Li Jianxun and now I have to clean up the mess. You are so proud of yourself.

"Old lady, it's not that I'm ruthless, but Yi Zhonghai offended the new engineer at the steel mill so badly. If I don't care about his opinion and go against him, how will he see me? How can I make people trust me after this matter gets out?"

"How about this, you get his forgiveness, and as long as he's fine, I can handle it."

"Then you have to..."

Seeing that Director Wang was not going to give in on this matter, the deaf old lady was about to use her age to change to another condition.

"boom"

Director Wang suddenly closed the door, leaving the two people looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Go back, old lady. There's no way I can apologize to that kid Li Jianxun. Let's not make ourselves embarrassed."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai took the deaf old lady away dejectedly.

At night, when Sha Zhu learned that the deaf old lady went to Director Yang to plead for mercy and let him go back to be an apprentice, he immediately became stubborn.

"If I don't go back, why do I still want to be an apprentice?"

"Everyone will laugh at me when I go back. Can I afford to lose face like that?"

Shazhu was cursing.

The deaf old lady was anxious, and Yi Zhonghai was also anxious.

The deaf old lady was anxious for Sha Zhu's own good, wanting him to go back to the factory and make money, but Yi Zhonghai was not anxious for that.

If Sha Zhu doesn't go back to work, he will have no money and can't help Qin Huairu. If he can't help himself, he will have to help himself. How can this be possible?

"Zhu Zi, listen to the old lady and go back to work. Don't let her good intentions go to waste."

The deaf old lady beside him also tried to persuade him earnestly:

"Zhu Zi, if you don't go back to work in the factory, how are you going to make money? How are you going to support yourself and Yu Shui? How are you going to get married? Are you going to ignore everything just for a little face?"

Sha Zhu also became anxious and quickly explained:

"Oh, old lady, it's not that I don't want to go back. You don't know that Li Jianxun was the one who set me up and that's why I was fired. What if he does something bad to me again when I go back?"

"I understand the whole story. It has nothing to do with him. You are wrongly accusing him."

The deaf old lady's words tore Sha Zhu's heart into pieces.

"No, no, no matter who says so, I won't go."

"Zhu Zi, just go!"

"No, I won't go."

At this time, Qin Huairu came in with a smile.

"Hey, what's going on? I heard a noise from far away, so I came over to check."

When Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu coming, he was immediately overjoyed.
