"You're really thoughtful."
Yi Zhonghai nodded.
The old lady's meaning was very simple. If other factors were not considered, Lou Xiao'e was indeed a good match.
However, his status was there. For the sake of his future, that bastard Xu Damao was willing to betray his wife, not to mention his father-in-law.
If the truth was revealed, Lou Xiao'e would become a burden to Silly Pillar.
Therefore, he had to be prepared for both sides. Once the matter of the stick was done, the initiative would be in his hands.
At that time, no matter how the situation developed, choosing Lou Xiao'e or Qin Huairu would be up to Silly Zhu.
As for Xu Jinyan, he was just an outsider.
They didn't have much interaction with each other, and this matter was related to Shazhu's marriage. Naturally, it wasn't within the consideration of the Deaf Old Lady and Yi Zhonghai.
Even Xu Jinyan would never have imagined that the two self-proclaimed most respected elders of the Siheyuan were plotting to ruin his future.
The old lady's words reassured Yi Zhonghai.
She went out to look for Liu Haizhong.
Previously, Xu Damao had sought out the leader of the Factory Reformation Committee, Director Li's favorite.
Because of Lou Xiao'e's case, Liu Haizhong had been a little smug recently.
In the courtyard, he also had his nose up in the sky. Everyone he looked at felt inferior to him.
After tasting the sweetness, Liu Haizhong also wanted to find a few more typical examples.
Just as she was pretending to read the report, an uninvited guest suddenly came to her house.
"Old Yi? Why are you here?"
Yi Zhonghai didn't directly explain his intentions.
"Old Liu, Lou Xiao'e's case."
"Hey, stop, stop. Lou Xiao'e's case has been settled. I can't do anything about it. Old Yi, listen to my advice.”
Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was here to plead for Lou Xiao'e, Liu Haizhong didn't give him the chance to say everything.
This concerned his future. Even if he were to put righteousness before family, he probably wouldn't even frown, let alone Lou Xiao'e.
Yi Zhonghai frowned and wanted to persuade him again.
"Old Liu, we all live in the same courtyard. Lou Xiao'e has helped the people in the courtyard a lot over the years. Don't you think so?"
"Old Yi!" Liu Haizhong was getting impatient.
Smart people would always look at their leaders.
He had already made his meaning so clear. If he said it more plainly, he would be at a disadvantage.
"Your awareness is too low! She, Lou Xiao'e, committed a mistake of principle. As the First Master of the hospital, you didn't find fault with yourself but instead came to me to plead for her. This matter is not negotiable.”
Liu Haizhong's words did not show any mercy to Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai was not annoyed.
He didn't come here to plead for Lou Xiao'e.
Now that the atmosphere was right, he pretended to be angry and said,"I think you're just being biased. What's so good about targeting a young lady? The Xu family's ancestors were still high officials in the Qing Dynasty. They're a legitimate big family. Why don't you find trouble with them?”
Yi Zhonghai left after he finished speaking.
He knew Liu Haizhong too well.
With such a huge contribution placed in front of his eyes, how could he ignore it?
The result was just as he had expected.
Liu Haizhong was stunned when he heard Yi Zhonghai seemingly unintentionally pointing out the Xu family's past.
When he had walked far away, he finally realized and slapped his thigh.
The fat on his face also trembled.
He looked as if he had just woken up from a dream.
"That's right, how could I forget about this!”
With that, he put on a coat and rushed out.
"Hey, where are you going so late at night?"
Second Aunt chased after him, but there was no sign of him.
The next morning.
Xu Jinyan had just finished his meal when there was a commotion outside the door.
Pushing open the door, he saw that more than half of the residents in the courtyard were there.
The head of his bangs was wide and fat, and it was obvious that he had come with ill intentions.
Xu Jinyan frowned. He was about to leave such a huge whirlpool, but he did not expect that something would happen before he left.
However, he had always kept a low profile and did not seem to have offended anyone.
At the thought of this, Xu Jinyan smiled at the surrounding residents and appeared rather calm.
"What did everyone smell? However, I don't have any extra food to entertain you.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong said sarcastically,"That can't be right. It's understandable that other people don't have food, but your ancestors were high-ranking officials in the Qing Dynasty, a wealthy family!”
The Xu family's situation was not a secret.
However, not many people believed that the rumors were true.
Before Liu Haizhong came, he had already asked the Second Aunt to confirm with the Deaf Old Lady that the past was indeed true.
Seeing Liu Haizhong reveal the Xu family's background, the surrounding residents also started discussing.
"Is the ancestor of the Xu family really a high official of the imperial court?”
"Since Second Master dared to bring people here, this matter is most likely close.”
"Sigh, it's been so long. Liu Haizhong has lived in the courtyard for so many years. Why doesn't he care about his feelings at all?”
"Shh, keep your voice down. If he hears you, your family won't be fine either. You're using a chicken feather as an arrow. Xu Damao even sold his wife to please him.”
Lou Xiao'e was also in the crowd.
When he saw this familiar scene, his face was instantly filled with shame and anger. He could empathize with Xu Jinyan's experience.
"So many people bullying a child, how shameless!”
Even though he was indignant, Lou Xiao'e could not even protect herself now. She definitely could not stand up for him.
He looked at First Uncle, the Deaf Old Lady, and Silly Pillar and realized that the three of them were also watching coldly.
The sense of justice that he had always talked about was eaten by dogs.
Little did she know that Xu Jinyan's predicament was caused by the three of them.
Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi didn't look ashamed at all. They just looked like they were watching a show.
There were more than a dozen families in the hospital, but no one was willing to stand up for Xu Jinyan.
Xu Jinyan did not have such extravagant hopes since he knew the nature of these people.
Liu Haizhong's words also let him know the purpose of this group of people.
This was all he had on him.
However, he didn't expect that he still couldn't avoid it.
"Second Uncle, what are you saying? My thigh is not as thick as your arm. Which rich family lives as shabbily as me?”
"Stop acting dumb."
Liu Haizhong was determined to step on Xu Jinyan to get to the top, so how could he listen to these words?
"Your family is poor because your parents fled with their family's assets. What good can a rich family's seed be?”
