The rest of the people in the courtyard were truly stunned by Lin Yang's actions.
Good heavens, that's really good heavens.
The deaf old lady was just pretending, not wanting to hear those things she didn't like.
Are you just going to turn on the loudspeaker and force her to listen?
Of course, no one wanted to stand up for the deaf old woman.
They didn't mention that Lin Yang was their landlord.
The deaf old woman usually takes advantage of her age and status as a recipient of the Five Guarantees (a government-provided social welfare program for the elderly and disabled).
Whenever Sha Zhu gets into trouble, she immediately runs out to protect him. If someone says something bad about Sha Zhu, she pretends to be deaf and dumb, just like before, and says she can't hear him.
But once Shazhu gets scolded, her hearing returns.
Xu Damao, who had always been at odds with Sha Zhu, suffered greatly from the old deaf woman's pretense of being deaf and mute.
At that moment, he was even considering whether he should buy a loudspeaker himself.
When the deaf old lady comes out to defend Sha Zhu during a conflict, we'll have a way to counter her.
Although Jia Zhangshi was somewhat gloating, after all, she could act like a rogue in the courtyard, but she was helpless against the deaf old lady.
Therefore, she frequently suffered setbacks at the hands of the deaf old woman.
Seeing that someone can cure the deaf old lady is a kind of revenge for her.
However, aside from feeling smug, she was also a little uneasy about Lin Yang, who had made the deaf old woman lose face.
If Lin Yang treats Dong Xu the same way he treated the deaf old lady and the silly Zhu, that would be bad!
Thinking of this, she tugged at Jia Dongxu's clothes and whispered, "Dongxu, why don't you go find Lin Yang after the conference? Even if you don't bring any wine, you can still chat with him!"
However, Jia Dongxu was also a bully who preyed on the weak. Recalling Lin Yang's appearance with a gun at the factory gate that night, and remembering how he usually bullied Lin Yang, he immediately shook his head and said, "I'm not going, I'm not going! What if he beats me up again if I go!"
"This is the compound! What are you afraid of?!" Jia Zhangshi glared at her. "If you don't go, then you're not afraid he'll make things difficult for you at work!"
"Mom is right!" Qin Huairu also gently advised, "Dongxu, you are the pillar of our family. If you make even the slightest mistake at work, our family will be finished!"
"Go if you want!" Jia Dongxu shook his head again; he still wanted to go out and play cards again that night.
"How can a woman like me go there!" Qin Huairu frowned slightly and said, "It's so late at night, if I go there, people will definitely gossip!"
"Alright, alright, let's discuss this further when we get back after the conference!"
Madam Jia still felt sorry for her son, and seeing how determined Jia Dongxu was, her attitude softened.
As they discussed this in hushed tones, the situation changed again.
Seeing that the deaf old woman was at a loss, Yi Zhonghai quickly stood up and coughed to attract everyone's attention.
Then, with a forced smile, he said to the deaf old woman, "Grandma, please don't say anything. Sha Zhu must have been wrong to be arrested. Why don't we finish the meeting first?"
He had initially thought the deaf old woman could keep Lin Yang in check, but now that he realized something was wrong, he quickly tried to steer the conversation back on track.
The deaf old lady was shrewd enough to immediately nod upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's words and say, "Alright, alright, you all have your meeting first, this old lady won't say anything!"
After speaking, she took small, quick steps, leaning on her cane, and walked briskly into the crowd, keeping a distance from Lin Yang.
It was obvious that they were afraid of Lin Yang's loudspeaker.
After the deaf old woman agreed, Yi Zhonghai immediately said to Lin Yang:
"Yangzi, I haven't finished speaking!"
"You're the one who arrested this idiot Zhu and brought him to the security department. See if you can think of a way to prevent things from escalating!"
"It would be best to resolve this within the factory; please don't let it spread to the streets!"
"Otherwise, our award for being an advanced collective will be in vain!"
His idea was good; as long as it didn't spread to the streets and could be resolved within the factory, at least Sha Zhu's job would be safe.
As for the other punishments, those have nothing to do with him.
Anyway, with a job, Sha Zhu will be able to help him in his old age.
As soon as he finished speaking...
The other neighbors, thinking of their own interests, all asked Lin Yang for help to prevent Sha Zhu's matter from escalating.
Third Uncle Yan Fugui was most sensitive to this kind of thing, and chimed in, "Yes, yes, Yangzi, our courtyard has maintained its status as an advanced collective for many years. We can't let that scoundrel Shazhu ruin it!"
As for Liu Haizhong, the third uncle who was obsessed with officialdom, he took a sip of tea and said to Lin Yang in an official tone:
"Yangzi! You've seen the people's cries for help!"
As he spoke, he recalled a few words spoken by the factory leaders at the meeting and continued, "This matter is very important and of great significance. Now that it's being entrusted to you, you must carry it out and not let down the expectations of us three old men!"
Hearing what everyone was saying, Lin Yang picked up the megaphone and began to speak:
"Quiet down! Quiet down!!!"
Under the high notes, all beings are equal.
The entire courtyard, terrified, continued shouting through loudspeakers, causing the room to fall silent instantly.
Seeing this, Lin Yang put away the megaphone and said in an extremely loud voice:
"I understand your feelings, but this is not a matter that I, as a security guard, can decide!"
"However, I will try my best to apply to the management to resolve the matter within the factory premises!"
After thinking about it carefully, Lin Yang realized that Sha Zhu would never be forced to eat porridge.
Just as Yi Zhonghai said, the factory leaders would definitely not let the matter be reported to the local authorities.
Because in those days, most factory leaders in state-owned factories had a patriarchal mentality.
