"Yes, Comrade Ma Hua, please speak." Director Wang's face remained calm, but he was inwardly furious. When would this Ma Hua ever stop?

"Director Wang, I suspect that someone in our institute is using the name of a martyr's family member to swindle and deceive people!"

"What!" Director Wang was genuinely shocked. How could there be such a person?

"Ahem, Director Wang, Ma Hua is just confused from sleep and talking nonsense. He's only been in our hospital for a few months," Yi Zhonghai hurriedly explained.

"Hmph, Ma Hua, are you scared? All you can do is resort to these underhanded tricks. Ma Hua, let me tell you, you're finished," Sha Zhu glanced at Ma Hua with disdain.

"Shut up, Comrade Ma Hua, please continue!" Director Wang ignored Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu. Director Wang's mind was now filled with thoughts of martyrs' families and swindling. This was a big deal, a very serious problem.

"Director Wang, I'd like to ask you, do we have any families of martyrs in our institute?" Ma Hua didn't answer, but instead asked Director Wang a question.

Director Wang pondered for a moment and shook his head: "No, our country has special care for the families of martyrs. The country will not forget anyone who has made contributions to the country, let alone the families of martyrs. All the families of martyrs in our street are registered, but your hospital is not! I am very sure of it!"

"Oh, then let me ask you, Director Wang, are you familiar with the development history of our Hong County? Did our Hong County visit Beijing in the early days?" Ma Hua then asked.

Upon hearing this, Director Wang suddenly laughed and said, "Remembering the history of Hongjun is something everyone in our subdistrict office can do! Alright, what do you want to say?"

"Well, that's what I'm wondering. Although I've only been in this facility for a few days, I keep hearing He Yuzhu and Comrade Yi Zhonghai say that the deaf old lady is the matriarch of our facility and that we should respect her."

"They even said that the deaf old lady sent straw sandals to our Hong County. I'm so confused. When has our Hong County ever been to Beijing? How did that old lady with bound feet manage to do that?" Ma Hua spread his hands and looked at Director Wang with a puzzled expression.

At this moment, Director Wang, his face ashen, glared at Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu. His sharp eyes swept across the crowd and immediately spotted the deaf old woman preparing to leave from the back of the crowd.

Director Wang chuckled coldly twice: "Old lady, where are you planning to go?"

Director Wang's voice wasn't loud, but it startled the deaf old lady like a thunderclap, causing her to stumble. Director Wang noticed that Old Lady Long wasn't responding to him.

He immediately instructed his entourage to bring the deaf old lady over.

As soon as the deaf old lady saw Director Wang, she said aggrievedly, "Young Wang, what are you doing? I'm so old and sleepy!"

Director Wang immediately understood what was going on with the deaf old lady. She was clearly feeling guilty, so he scolded her, "Old lady, how come I remember you not being a martyr's family member? When did you ever send straw sandals to Hongjun? I don't know anything about it!"

"Hmph, you must be making a fuss and have forgotten. Our whole neighborhood knows about the old lady giving us straw sandals!"

Silly Zhu said disdainfully from the side, but he was secretly overjoyed. "Ma Hua, you're finally going to be in trouble!"

"Oh, really? Then tell me, do you all know? Speak up!" Everyone who was swept over by Director Wang's gaze lowered their heads, and Director Wang couldn't help but raise his voice and scold!

"I know, I know."

"This has nothing to do with us! The old lady said it herself!"

Everyone was startled by Director Wang and hurriedly said,

"What? You want to take me back to sleep? No need, no need. I'm fine, I can walk by myself."

The deaf old lady smiled and said to Director Wang, but in her heart she was cursing Ma Hua.

"Hmph," Ma Hua couldn't help but sneer a few times. With your little tricks, you old lady, you still have the nerve to perform in front of Director Wang!

"Grandma, we from the neighborhood committee took care of you because of your age and pitied you. We never expected you to have done so many things behind our backs! You even impersonated a martyr's family member and claimed you were sending straw sandals to Hongjun."

Bah! Let me tell you clearly, Hongjun never even came to the capital city in the early stages!

Director Wang's face was gloomy. He was about to explode with anger. Right under his nose, so many sordid things were happening in this courtyard!

"Hey, I knew it! This old lady has such bound feet, she's never even left Beijing, how did she manage to send out shoes like that! Turns out they were lying to everyone."

Ma Hua then added fuel to the fire, saying that deceiving one person is one thing, but now that everyone has realized they've been fooled for so many years, who cares about your ancestral status anymore? Bah!

"Pah, you old liar! I finally managed to buy some meat last time, and you forced me to give it to you. I've been lenient with you because you're a martyr's family member and have made contributions to the country. I never expected you to be this kind of person!"

"Exactly, old lady, you're so shameless! If you want something good to eat, just say so! Why are you deceiving everyone like this?"

Everyone chimed in, criticizing the old woman. They had suffered a lot at her hands over the years; whenever the residents of the courtyard cooked something delicious, they would always give some to her as a token of respect.

Everyone had initially respected her because she was a martyr's family member, but it turned out she had been lying to them. How could they possibly tolerate this?

"I never said I was! Don't talk nonsense!" the deaf old woman said sternly.

Sha Zhu stared at the old lady in disbelief. Hadn't the old lady often told him about giving him straw sandals? This!!
