"I bet it's something big, otherwise why would they keep it a secret?"

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe Yi Zhonghai is up to something again, like last time when he sided with Jia Zhangshi and was punished by having to clean public toilets!"

"Haha, this is a rather flavorful punishment."

"Do you think Yi Zhonghai dares to go to the toilet now?"

The focus of the discussion quickly shifted.

The discussion shifted from the content of the meeting to what it would feel like for Yi Zhonghai's three old men to fall into a latrine.

"Everyone, please be quiet, the meeting is about to begin!"

Liu Haizhong tapped the table.

He had to show off his second uncle's official power!

Wan Ping'an smiled.

His bangs reveal an overly strong desire for officialdom!

Everyone fell silent.

"Today, I am very happy because there is a great event in our hospital."

"Please welcome the deaf old lady!"

Yi Zhonghai looked radiant.

The fact that the deaf old lady became a recipient of the "Five Guarantees" (a government-provided social welfare program for the elderly) can provide him with stronger support, allowing him to turn the courtyard into a place where he has the final say.

"The good news I'm talking about is that the deaf old lady's application for the 'Five Guarantees' program has been approved!"

"Everyone, let's give a round of applause! Congratulations to the old lady!"

Yi Zhonghai led the applause.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui could only applaud along with them.

Wan Ping'an was stunned. Hadn't he ruined the deaf old lady's application for the Five Guarantees?

Did you reapply?

"The plot's ability to correct itself is too powerful."

"In the original play about the courtyard house, the deaf old lady was a recipient of the Five Guarantees (a government-provided social welfare program for the elderly and disabled)."

“I messed things up for her, and the plot started to automatically fix itself. Before I even knew it, the deaf old lady became a recipient of the Five Guarantees.”

"But it's okay, they're just recipients of the Five Guarantees."

"Given the deaf old lady's qualifications, she definitely doesn't meet the requirements. The fact that she passed must be because of Yi Zhonghai's scheme. This is a huge piece of evidence against her!"

Wan Ping'an smiled.

The deaf old woman's application for the "Five Guarantees" program was essentially handing him leverage over her.

"Grandma, please say a few words!"

Yi Zhonghai wants to establish the image of a deaf old lady.

The better the image of the deaf old lady, the greater her influence, and the stronger the support she can provide, allowing her to overwhelm everyone in the courtyard.

The important thing is that Wan Ping is safe and sound.

Next were the two old men, and then He Daqing and Xu Fugui.

If he can win over these four people, he can become the controller of the courtyard house and turn it into a one-man show.

"Thank you everyone. I'm just a lonely old woman, I don't have much to say, thank you..."

The deaf old lady wasn't intimidated at all.

After expressing her gratitude, she sat down in a chair specially reserved for him, right behind the three old men, signifying her unique status and position.

"Let me add two more points!"

"It is an honor for our courtyard to have the elderly deaf lady become a recipient of the Five Guarantees. We should all respect and care for the elderly, and we must respect the old lady!"

As Yi Zhonghai spoke, he looked at Wan Ping'an.

"We can't be like some people who have no respect for the elderly and ruin the atmosphere of the facility!"

Yi Zhonghai's speech was still targeted.

Everyone looked at Yi Zhonghai.

Then look at Wan Ping'an.

Most people can guess that the "some people" Yi Zhonghai was talking about were actually just one person: Wan Ping'an. There was no one else!

"Can I say a few words?"

Wan Ping'an smiled.

He stared coldly at Yi Zhonghai.

hum!

The crowd panicked.

Wan Ping'an is going to confront Yi Zhonghai head-on!

There's something good to watch!

Everyone was excited!

Even those who were dozing off just now are wide awake!

Chapter 130 The deaf old woman's first shot failed to fire; Chen Xueru sought help.

Wan Ping'an is about to speak.

Yi Zhonghai felt a chill run down his spine and muttered to himself:

"I only pointed a few things out to you, didn't I?"

"I didn't just say your name, why did you stand up?"

He knew very well that he absolutely could not give Wan Ping'an a chance to speak.

otherwise.

With Wan Ping'an's abilities, he'll definitely ruin the conference.

"Wan Ping'an, today we're celebrating the old lady passing the five-guarantee household review and becoming a five-guarantee household. This is a good thing. What do you want to do?"

"You sit still and don't cause any trouble!"

Yi Zhonghai forbade Wan Ping'an from speaking.

"No causing trouble?"

"I don't even have the right to speak anymore?"

"I understand. The old man is the local tyrant of the courtyard, the patriarch. If he doesn't let me speak, then I have no right to speak."

"I understand, I'll shut up!"

Wan Ping'an accused Yi Zhonghai of two serious offenses.

Yi Zhonghai broke out in a cold sweat at that moment.

Local tyrant?

The patriarch?

If either of these two accusations is confirmed, it will be incredibly damaging!

If things go wrong, you might end up eating peanuts!

The deaf old lady glared at Yi Zhonghai resentfully.

The conference was originally going well, just a celebration, but Yi Zhonghai had to kick Wan Ping'an while he was down, and that caused trouble!

"Wan Ping'an, you can't talk nonsense. I'm not a local tyrant or a patriarch. When have I ever stopped you from speaking?"

Yi Zhonghai offered a panicked explanation.

coax!

Many people laughed.

They all understood Yi Zhonghai.

Having just come from the old society and entered the new one, they are very sensitive to certain things from the old society, and when they punish, the punishments are extremely severe!

Titles like "local tyrant," "landlord," and "big bourgeoisie"—if you were to be labeled with such a title, you'd be severely punished!

So you can talk now?

Wan Ping'an smiled brightly.

"Yes, of course!"

Yi Zhonghai dared not cause any further trouble.

"Okay, then I said it."
