"Okay, then I'll thank Director Wang in advance. I also believe that Director Wang can definitely stand up for us women comrades," Ran Qiuye quickly thanked Director Wang.
"Alright, it's getting late. I think you all need a good talking to. Come on, take He Yuzhu to our neighborhood office for now."
As for the rest of you, I see a serious problem with your thinking. Starting tomorrow, go to our neighborhood office for a self-criticism session.
"The matter will not be over until you realize your mistake," Director Wang said swiftly and decisively, stating the outcome directly.
"Director Wang, Sha Zhu and his group can't stay in our yard any longer. We're really scared now."
Before, we were afraid that Sha Zhu would hit us, so we would avoid him. Now, it's not just me; our whole family avoids Sha Zhu.
"My mother is already sixty years old, and this thing has caught the eye of Sha Zhu. What am I going to do?"
Someone from the back of the crowd said something that made everyone stifle their laughter: "Hahaha, you'll get your sixty-year-old mother back!"
Your mother has been dead for over ten years, what's wrong, did she crawl out of the ground?
"That's right, Director Wang, our hospital doesn't welcome Sha Zhu."
"It's about kicking Sha Zhu and the others out."
Seeing the agitated state of the crowd in the courtyard, Director Wang sighed inwardly. She knew perfectly well what was going on.
Sha Zhu and his group have angered everyone, but she can't make that mistake.
What if other courtyard houses follow suit and kick out honest people too? That would be too harmful, especially since this has never been done before.
Thinking of this, Director Wang coughed twice: 'I understand everyone's feelings, and I know that Sha Zhu and the others have done many wrong things.'
We've brought shame upon your courtyard house, but kicking them out isn't something you can just do on your own; it requires approval from the leadership.
After all, although Sha Zhu made a mistake, he didn't commit a crime, and he's still a resident of our neighborhood committee.
He has the right to continue residing here, and no one can drive him out.
"However, our subdistrict office will also come to understand your requests, and we will definitely give everyone a satisfactory result. Please rest assured."
As soon as Director Wang said this, the crowd that had been making a ruckus fell silent. Fine, that works too.
If this doesn't work, then next time, we must drive Sha Zhu and the others out of the courtyard.
With the departure of Director Wang, Sha Zhu, Director Zhang, and Ran Qiuye, the meeting at the courtyard came to an end.
The old lady watched as Sha Zhu was taken away by Director Wang, her heart filled with anxiety, yet she felt helpless.
I'm not the same venerable ancestor who used to get whatever I wanted.
At best, she's just a shameless old widow despised by everyone.
As Yi Zhonghai watched Sha Zhu leave, he felt a mix of emotions. He wanted to give up, but he couldn't bear to.
The initial investment was too large, and there weren't any suitable blood packs around. Oh, wait, there's one more.
Yan Bugui's family also looked serious. The family had just entered the house when...
Yan Jiecheng couldn't wait to look at his son's father: "Dad, did Shazhu really ask you to introduce Teacher Ran to him?"
"Yes, last time I sent your brother to Zuogezhuang to exchange for ration coupons for sweet potatoes, it was the local specialties that Shazhu gave us that we got them," Yan Bugui sighed.
It was still exchanged with Teacher Ran, but Yan Bugui was too embarrassed to say it.
“What? I knew it! How could our family possibly have national food coupons?” Yan Jiecheng glanced at Yu Li with a hint of smugness.
The meaning is obvious, see? I was right. Our family could never have that.
"Dad, what are you planning to do next? I don't think this is a small matter," Yu Li rolled her eyes at her husband.
How stupid of me to have ever fallen for him.
"Sigh, I never expected things to turn out like this." Yan Bugui was also at a loss. If this matter wasn't handled properly...
My reputation will be ruined.
"Old man, it's no big deal. I don't think it's a big deal. Otherwise, we can just return the sweet potatoes we exchanged to Sha Zhu," Yang Ruihua said with some heartache.
Upon hearing his wife's words, Yan Bugui immediately clutched his chest: "Bah, you spendthrift old woman! That's thirty jin of sweet potatoes! Enough for our whole family to eat for a month!"
"Dad, I think you should just resign from your position as the eldest son. It's a strategic retreat." Yu Li pondered for a moment.
"No, no, this won't do. It's not easy for Dad to be so powerful now, I don't agree."
When Yan Jiecheng heard his wife say that, he immediately became anxious. He had always been invisible and had never been so powerful before.
“I think the eldest brother is right. This old man’s position is the lifeline of our whole family right now.”
Yan Bugui shook his head. Without this position, how would Lao Liu and Lao Yi view him in the future? What would happen to the prestige he had worked so hard to build?
Moreover, he's only been living in the courtyard house for a few days, and he's already received so many nice things at the door.
Yu Li sighed. This whole family is so short-sighted. How could I have married into this family? You should resign from your position as the eldest son of a wealthy family.
Just say you're really not up to the task. Even if the school leaders find out, you'll have an explanation.
Look at me now, I've even lost my position as an elder statesman. How can the teachers and leaders of this school not sympathize with you? You're a victim too.
At least we passed the school hurdle, what's there to be afraid of living in a courtyard house? Sigh.
Forget it, I won't try to persuade them anymore. All that trying will only make me the one who suffers the consequences.
Not long after Ma Hua arrived home, He Yushui rushed over.
When He Yushui saw Ma Hua, tears streamed down her face: "Ma Hua, my brother has been arrested again?"
"???" Why do I have this feeling that Master Master has been captured by a monster again?
Ma Hua was completely bewildered. He wasn't the senior disciple; he had absolutely no connection to Sha Zhu.
"Oh, Ma Hua, what am I going to do?" He Yushui said, tears welling up in her eyes.
"What can we do? Didn't I tell you last time to ask your dad?" Ma Hua shrugged, his meaning clear: I'm not Sha Zhu's dad, I can't help you.
Besides, if Sha Zhu were my son, I would have smacked him against the wall long ago; he's just too embarrassing.
Hearing Ma Hua say that, He Yushui gave Ma Hua a somewhat resentful look. She thought to herself, but her silly brother wouldn't listen.
"Alright, alright, considering you helped me before, your brother's matter is simple. Just find a woman to marry, and everything will be fine," Ma Hua said, sounding a bit annoyed.
He remembered that He Yushui had helped him when he was an apprentice under Sha Zhu.
"This..." He Yushui was dumbfounded. What kind of woman was so blind as to marry her brother? It was alright before, he was the head chef at the steel mill...
But now her foolish brother's reputation is ruined, he's infamous, and it's even affected her, his sister, that no one wants her anymore.
“Actually, there’s another way,” Ma Hua said mysteriously.
