What do you think is the problem?" The Deaf Old Lady asked unhappily.
The staff member from the street office said,"In the past, when we registered you, we suspected that the information you submitted was not true. Now, we are here to verify it, so we want to ask you a few questions.”
"You suspect that the information I provided is not true? What do you mean?" " What are you guys talking about?" the Deaf Old Lady asked excitedly. It's been so many years since I applied for the five guarantees. It's been so many years, and you guys suddenly came to ask me this question one day! What do you want to do?"
"Old Madam, don't be agitated. We're just doing our duty. The higher-ups sent us to investigate this matter.”The person from the street office said.
"Investigate? Investigate what? Are you investigating me? What bad things have I done?" The old lady asked repeatedly, her emotions getting more and more agitated.
"To investigate your identity as a five-guarantee household, we need to verify the information you provided back then. "Old Madam, don't be agitated. You're so agitated that we can't carry out our work. We have to investigate this matter clearly. I hope you won't delay our work. Otherwise, we'll be wasting your time!”
He emphasized his tone and his expression became serious.
The old lady was a shrewd person. She knew that she could not go against the people from the street office. If she went against them, he would only suffer.
Thus, he calmed down a little and nodded."Alright, if you have anything to ask, then ask.”
"When you submitted the information back then, you said that you had made straw sandals for the soldiers. However, according to our investigation, you had never stepped out of the capital. The army you were referring to had never come to the capital either.”
"Moreover, we found out that your ancestor's surname is He. The He family was once a big family in the West Gate area. Your background is not low either, but the information you provided shows that you were born in poverty, which conflicts with the facts.”
“……”
Upon hearing these words, the old lady was speechless and did not know how to respond.
She never expected that the people from the street office would suddenly investigate this.
Investigate her birth and past experiences.
"Have I been reported? Was it that bastard Li Jianguo who reported it?”
She didn't answer but asked back.
The people from the street office looked at each other.
"Whether it was reported or not, who reported it, don't ask these questions first. Just answer my questions truthfully.”The street office staff said.
"If you want to ask me, I can only tell you that the information I provided back then was true. Perhaps I'm old now and can't remember it clearly, but I've never lied to anyone.”the old lady replied.
"Is there a problem with me applying for the five guarantees? Even if some of the information isn't true, it doesn't stop me from applying for this identity. I don't have a family, and I don't have any children. I'm all alone. It's only right and proper for me to apply for the five guarantees. Does the country not care about an old woman like me? How am I supposed to live then? You want me to die?"
"You can apply if you have no children, but you can't lie. This isn't a reason for you to lie!”The people from the street office said hesitantly. Also, as far as we know, your life in the courtyard isn't bad. Although you don't have any children, there are people who take care of you. All these years, the First Master of the courtyard, He Yuzhu, and the others have been good to you. They take care of you like they take care of their elders.”
"Not only did you eat well, but you also had leftovers. You sold the leftovers on the black market. Do you know that unlucky food stamps are considered speculation? It's illegal and needs to be punished!”
“……”
Hearing that she was accused of selling food stamps and was suspected of being a speculator, the old lady was stunned again.
"Someone reported it. It must have been Li Jianguo!”
She firmly believed that Li Jianguo was the one who reported her.
"Is there such a thing?" The person from the street office asked seriously.
"No, I've never sold food stamps!" The old lady shook her head.”
Actually, many people in the Council knew about her selling food stamps. However, no one had said anything about it for a long time, let alone reported it.
He didn't expect to be reported and the matter to be exposed.
She gritted her teeth in hatred.
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. We will investigate. If this matter is confirmed, then we will do things according to law and punish you accordingly!”The person from the street office said.
"Because the information you provided is not true, coupled with your current situation, your benefits as a five-guarantee household will be temporarily suspended. We will re-evaluate your qualifications as a five-guarantee household.”
After saying that, they did not stay and quickly got up to leave.
" I lost my basic insurance?!"
The old lady was completely dumbfounded.
She did not expect that one day, the higher-ups would stop her allowance.
There was no guarantee!
"It's Li Jianguo, it's all that bastard Li Jianguo's fault! She's trying to kill me!"
The old lady broke down.
She wanted to scold Li Jianguo, but she couldn't get up. They hadn't gotten off work yet, so they weren't in the courtyard.
She could only hold it in.
She held it in until it was time to get off work in the afternoon.
Once Yi Zhonghai got off work, he went straight to the old lady's house in the backyard.
He knew that the old lady was almost paralyzed and lying in bed. She could not take care of herself and needed someone to take care of her.
As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a pungent smell. It was the smell of feces and urine.
It was obvious that the old lady had lost control of her bladder and had shat on the bed.
Yi Zhonghai looked disgusted, but he still frowned and walked into the bedroom.
"Zhong Hai, you're finally back!”
Upon seeing Yi Zhonghai, the old lady became agitated and shouted.
Yi Zhonghai said," Xiuzhen isn't at home now. When Silly Zhu and I aren't around, no one can take care of you. I just came back from work. I came over as soon as I got off work."”
"Old lady, you've been lying on the bed. Clean up first and then eat something.”
He prepared to clean up the old lady's dirty things.
Even though she was disgusted, if he didn't care about her, who would care about her?
Now that she was half-paralyzed, he could only brace himself and serve her.
"Zhonghai, don't clean it up yet. Go to the street office first and ask Director Liu for an explanation.”the old lady said.
"What? Why did he go to the street office to look for Director Liu? What explanation?" Yi Zhonghai was surprised.
The old lady said," At noon, someone from the street office came. They came to inform me that they want to suspend my five-guarantee status. Now that I don't have this status, I don't even have the lowest guarantee. The higher-ups don't care if I live or die!”
As she spoke, her voice choked up.
She looked extremely wronged.
"What? Your five-guarantee status has been revoked?"
Yi Zhonghai's eyes widened when he heard the news.
The old lady's status as a five-guarantee household was gone. Wasn't this digging up his roots?
