Chapter 688

Red Star Sihe Academy

The Deaf Old Lady sat on the ground, playing deaf and dumb. Director Wang knew what was going on as soon as he saw it.

Having worked at the Street Office for many years, handling all kinds of trivial matters and countless neighborhood disputes, what kind of people and things hadn't he seen?

Director Cao bent over with a smile and shouted loudly into the Deaf Old Lady's ear: "Old Lady! I said we are taking you to the hospital for a physical examination!"

This shout made the Deaf Old Lady's head buzz. She suppressed her anger and continued to play deaf: "What? Need clothes! I don't need clothes!"

Director Wang couldn't help but laugh: "Director Cao, I have an idea about this matter. Old Lady, I know you are complaining about Liu Haizhong because of Old Yi and Sha Zhu, but Comrade Liu Haizhong is also doing his official duty. I, too, must now do my official duty. You smashed the glass in Comrade Liu Haizhong's home, so you must pay for it at the price. As for your claim that Comrade Liu Haizhong hit you? If you want to pursue it, we will go to the hospital for an examination. If you don't want to pursue it, then pay for Comrade Liu Haizhong's glass. For the sake of many years of neighborly feelings, let's turn big problems into small ones and get along well in the future. Don't be willful and make trouble again. I know you can hear clearly."

The Deaf Old Lady nodded guiltily: "Ah! What did you say? Pay for the glass? Sigh! I'll pay! It was me, the old lady, who was impulsive!"

This old lady sat down herself, so of course, no injury would be found. If she went to the hospital, she would be exposed nine times out of ten.

Moreover, she felt guilty in her heart.

If it were only Director Wang, she would have made a scene to the end.

But Cao Cao Weiguo was also here, and this kid was clearly biased toward Liu Haizhong.

If she kept making a scene, she would likely suffer.

Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: "Second Master! You see, the old lady is willing to pay for the glass. You calculate how much compensation is needed. Once the old lady pays the money, this matter will end here. We are all neighbors in the same courtyard; we must pay attention to unity."

Liu Haizhong said hurriedly: "I listen to the leader."

The Second Lady said: "This old lady has smashed my family's glass several times already. I've kept track of them every time. Since both leaders are here, let's calculate it all at once. There are seven pieces of glass in total. Including labor costs, twenty Brother Yuan for my family is not excessive, right?"

The Deaf Old Lady played deaf: "Two Brother Yuan? That's too much, I don't have that much money."

The Second Lady shouted: "What two Brother Yuan! What are you pretending for! I said twenty Brother Yuan! Not a cent less!"

Cao Cao Weiguo looked at Director Wang: "Director Wang! This old lady's ears are too bad. Please put in the effort to make it clear to her. I really don't want to make things too difficult. If I were to handle this officially and take such an old lady to the Security Section, you say, if this gets out, it won't look good for anyone."

Director Wang helped the Deaf Old Lady up with an ugly face: "Old Lady, you smashed someone's things, so you should pay compensation. Old Lady, in my heart, you should be a reasonable person. The Street Office has taken good care of you, too. You can't make my work difficult."

After this set of words was finished, the Deaf Old Lady knew that continuing to play dumb was useless. Otherwise, if she really offended Director Wang, her life would be difficult: "Good! Good! I'll go back and get the money right now."

Director Wang smiled: "Thank you for cooperating with my work."

The First Lady took the Deaf Old Lady from Director Wang's hands and helped her back to her room.

Second Master Liu Haizhong and the Second Lady followed along; they couldn't let the Deaf Old Lady default on the debt.

"Here!"

The Deaf Old Lady took the money from the cupboard and slapped it into the Second Lady's hand with a gloomy face.

The Second Lady counted the money happily; she had finally vented her anger.

Director Wang said with a smile: "Alright! The matter is resolved, I'm going back too."

The Second Lady said with a face full of smiles: "I'll see you off."

The Deaf Old Lady snorted coldly, turned around and went back to her room angrily, slamming the door hard.

This matter is not over!

Liu Haizhong followed Cao Cao Weiguo: "Leader, thanks to you upholding justice, otherwise this old lady would have framed me."

Cao Cao Weiguo said with a smile: "What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true. Justice is in the hearts of the people. However, you still have to be careful about this old lady. As the saying goes, an old person becomes a spirit; this old lady is not simple."

Liu Haizhong said disdainfully: "Bullshit! If it weren't for her age, I would have made her obedient. If she pushes me too far, I'll slap her against the wall. Playing tough with me? Her cultivation isn't enough. Doesn't she care about Yi Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu? Then I'll take good care of her godson and good grandson tonight."

Hearing this, the First Lady turned pale with fright and hurriedly walked over to plead: "Old Liu! You can't do that! You can't! You're just saying angry words, right? I know the old lady did something excessive, and I apologize to you on her behalf. You must not make things difficult for my Old Yi; he is old and can't handle being tossed around."

Liu Haizhong smiled without warmth: "Look at what you're saying. I, Liu Haizhong, am just talking. How could I really do that? Old Yi and I have had a long friendship. I'm too busy looking after him to toss him around. You're overthinking it, overthinking it."

Overthinking it?

What kind of person are you, Liu Haizhong?

Living in the same courtyard for decades, who doesn't know who?

As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what you're going to shit.

For so many years, you were the Second Master and Old Yi was the First Master. You, the second-in-command, have always been unconvinced and wanted to go against Old Yi everywhere, but you were always suppressed by Old Yi. Now that you have a chance, can you not kick him while he's down?

The First Lady grabbed Liu Haizhong's arm and begged: "Old Liu, I know you are kind-hearted, generous, and value friendship. Although you and Old Yi have had some disagreements occasionally over the years, your private friendship is still good. Everyone in and out of the courtyard says that you three managing masters are like brothers. Now that Old Yi has made a mistake, you, his good brother, must help him. When Old Yi returns, I will definitely make him repay you."

Liu Haizhong said with a comfortable mood: "Good, good, good! I've remembered what you said. Don't worry, I will help Old Yi at the critical moment."

The frustration of many years had finally dissipated by half!

Refreshing!

After the First Lady begged Liu Haizhong, she turned to beg Cao Cao Weiguo.

Long before the Deaf Old Lady went to make trouble at Liu Haizhong's house, she had already talked to Yu Yu Haitang and Qin Qin Huairu.

She had managed to find out some news about Old Yi.

Learning that Old Yi had been locked in the little black room and was frequently interrogated, the First Lady was extremely anxious.

She was really worried that Old Yi wouldn't be able to hold up and would say something shocking.

If Old Yi were finished then, how would life at home go on?

She had no children, and her parents from her maiden home were long gone. If Old Yi fell, she would have no one to rely on. So even if Old Yi treated her badly in every way, she didn't want Old Yi to be unlucky.

Cao Cao Weiguo responded perfunctorily, comforting the First Lady not to worry and to believe that the organization would not let a bad person go, nor would it wrong a good person.

Well, with this comfort, the First Lady became even more anxious.

What kind of person is her own man?

Can she, the person sleeping beside him, not know?

A good person?

He's so good he's dripping with oil!
