On the other hand, the deaf old lady who was detained by the neighborhood office was in a much worse situation.

What kind of behavior is this deaf old lady exhibiting? Putting aside everything else, this is delaying policy implementation. How can someone be so insidious?

Don't you know that there's power in numbers these days? You even instigated Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e to divorce.

The nature of this is absolutely appalling.

Besides, we criticized you, old lady, a few days ago, and you still haven't learned your lesson.

But the deaf old lady is so old now, they're a little worried. What if they just lock her up?

What if something bad happens? Well, I wonder which neighborhood committee person came up with this suggestion.

"This old woman is so awful, wouldn't it be enough to just send her to the cowshed for a week of re-education?"

The old lady is in poor health, but Liu Haizhong from the courtyard is in good health.

This old lady has always claimed to be the ancestor of the courtyard house!

I can finally let my bangs out in a week.

"If we put them together, it'll help take care of them a bit, won't it?"

And just like that, the deaf old lady was sent down to the cowshed.

When Liu Haizhong first saw the people from the neighborhood committee arrive,

I thought the neighborhood committee wanted to release me early because of my recent good behavior.

Unexpectedly, she brought the deaf old lady with her. At this moment, Liu Haizhong was unaware of all the things that had happened in the courtyard.

The people from the neighborhood committee didn't bother to say much to Liu Haizhong; they simply told him to remember to take care of the old lady and then left.

Who is that deaf old lady? She's a cunning old woman, just look at the bewildered look in her bangs.

Then the performance began: "Oh, Xiao Liu, it's the old lady who's incompetent."

"Ah," Liu Haizhong was still pondering why the old lady had been sent to the cowshed.

Hearing the old lady say that, I was immediately dumbfounded.

"I'm so sorry, Xiao Liu. You don't know, without you as my boss..."

Our courtyard house is leaderless now, it's almost in chaos.

As the deaf old lady spoke, she secretly glanced at Liu Haizhong's expression.

When the old lady saw the nostalgic yet proud expression on Liu Haizhong's face, she knew she had made the right move.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong was also thinking. What? Now that he, the second uncle, is gone, the courtyard is in complete chaos?

Sure enough, I was born to be a leader.

"That's right, old lady. Don't you think about who I, Liu Haizhong, am? I'm the second eldest uncle in our courtyard."

"If it weren't for me keeping things in check, our courtyard would have been in complete chaos long ago. Now you see how important I, your second uncle, am!"

Liu Haizhong said with a smug look on his face.

"Yes, I also think you are much better than Yi Zhonghai. I was just blind and made a mistake before."

The deaf old lady said earnestly.

The old lady saw that Liu Haizhong still had a smug look on his face, and she was practically cursing him to death in her heart. He'd been bragging to her for a few moments...

Just listen and that's it, why are you taking it to heart? Grandma, have I been too kind to you?

The old lady initially found Liu Haizhong disgusting and was about to get angry, but then she looked at her own physique...

Without bangs, I'd probably die in the cowshed. Oh well, I'll just have to bear with it.

After a long while, Liu Haizhong said to the deaf old lady with a haughty expression, "Hmph, I, Liu Haizhong, have never been inferior to anyone in my life."

I'm a born leader, it's just a pity I've always been overlooked.

The deaf old woman felt utterly disgusted when she saw Liu Haizhong's arrogant expression. How could there be such an idiot in the world?

"Yes, Haizhong, I believe in you, Grandma. You can definitely do it. In a couple of days when we go back to the courtyard, I will definitely support you to continue being elected as the second eldest uncle of our courtyard."

Without you, our institute would truly be incapable. And your factory leaders are utterly blind to your talent. Someone as capable as you…

How could we miss this opportunity? Once we get back, I'll find someone to help you plan things out.

The deaf old lady's words were cryptic and vague; after rambling on for a long time, not a single sentence was actually useful.

But Liu Haizhong is adamant. He'll do anything as long as they support him becoming a leader and help him get into that position.

Upon seeing the deaf old woman, Liu Haizhong's previous distant expression vanished; he practically wanted to offer her up on the table.

The deaf old lady painted a rosy picture for Liu Haizhong. Liu Haizhong ate it with great relish, not leaving a single bite.

Liu Haizhong likes this approach, but unfortunately others don't, like the Lou family.

Xu Damao thought about it all night at home. He couldn't accept that he would lose out by divorcing Lou Xiao'e like this.

If I really married Yu Haitang, that would be fine, but it turns out Yu Haitang lied to me.

As for revenge against Yu Haitang, Xu Damao has other plans. Right now, the most important thing is Lou Xiao'e's situation.

The Lou family should at least offer themselves some compensation.

Now everyone knows that Lou Xiao'e is innocent, and many people are advising themselves to bring Lou Xiao'e back today.

No, even if it's not for Lou Xiao'e's sake, I have to go to the Lou family for the money and reputation.

Xu Damao lay in bed plotting for a long time, feeling that he still needed to put on a show in front of outsiders and adopt a persona of a loving man who knew his mistakes and could correct them.

Thinking of this, Xu Damao arrived at the Lou family's gate early in the afternoon.

Chairman Lou hadn't originally planned to let Xu Damao in, but hearing Xu Damao's voice getting louder and louder outside the door...

Remembering that the Lou family still needed to keep a low profile, he could only suppress his anger and open the door with a grim face.

As soon as Chairman Lou opened the door, he looked at Xu Damao, who was standing outside with a fawning expression: "Xu Damao, how dare you show your face here!"

"Father-in-law, what are you saying? Let's go inside and talk! There are so many people watching on the street."

"There's something wrong with it all." Xu Damao's face was full of flattery. He knew very well when to bow his head.

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to call me father-in-law? You and Xiao'e divorced yesterday. And what about your slander of Xiao'e's innocence?"

"I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you dare to come looking for me again today. Let me tell you, the Lou family isn't so easily bullied."

Seeing the heads of people sticking out from the surrounding houses, Chairman Lou shouted loudly.

He needed to explain the situation to the neighbors. It wasn't his daughter Xiao'e's fault, and he also needed to play the role of an enraged father to mislead others.

"Father-in-law, please don't say that. I already know I was wrong. I'm here to apologize to E'zi now!"

"I know everything about your family. Are you sure you want me to talk about this right here?" Xu Damao got anxious when he saw that Chairman Lou wasn't giving him any face. "You think you're so great?"

The two talked inside the house for a while, and then Xu Damao left with a happy expression.

All that was left was Chairman Lou, who was smoking angrily. "What's wrong, Xu Damao? Do you really think the Lou family is so easy to bully?"

Ten large yellow croakers. Five thousand yuan, you have quite the appetite!
