Chapter 35: Glory and Shame
He Yuzhu had a half-smile on his face. He really wanted to laugh out loud. In his previous life, he really treated this old lady as his own grandmother.

He Yuzhu smiled, but leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Old lady, I see you are so old, I don't want to cause you any trouble.

But don't treat me as a fool. Do you really think that no one knows what you did?
No matter how unreasonable He Daqing is, he is still my father. When he heard that his son and daughter were almost forced to death, do you think he would not investigate it thoroughly?
Also, do you think that Widow Bai, who is counting on He Daqing to support her family and son, would keep that secret from you?
You tell me, if I tell these things to my colleagues in the station, even if you can't find an accomplice with Jia Zhang, how will you survive in this street in the future?
Old lady, go back.

I remember your kindness, so I let you go.

But if you think I, He Yuzhu, am easy to bully and want to take advantage of your seniority to deal with me, you can try.

At worst, I can take Yu Shui to Baoding to surrender to He Daqing, but if I can't stay in this yard, I guarantee that no one in the entire Nanluoguxiang will like you."

He Yuzhu is also the sixth brother. Although he said the cruelest words, the smile on his face did not change.

So the women near the pool thought that He Yuzhu was having a good conversation with the deaf old lady.

They didn't see the deaf old lady's frightened expression and her uncontrollable trembling.

The deaf old lady really didn't expect that He Yuzhu would see through the trap she had set in just such a short time.

What made the deaf old lady even more terrified was that after He Yuzhu saw through it all, he didn't argue or make a fuss with her.

This can only mean two things. One is that He Yuzhu really forgave her.

This can be seen to be impossible from what He Yuzhu said just now.

Another thing is that He Yuzhu is waiting to use this to counterattack her.

She did tell He Yuzhu to remember her kindness, but the deaf old lady didn't think much about it.

In fact, He Yuzhu was talking about the favor from the previous life.

If the deaf old lady had not been lucky enough to let Lou Xiao'e give He Yuzhu a son, He Xiao, in his previous life, He Yuzhu would have definitely been extinct.

No matter what the deaf old lady was thinking at the time, it was indeed a favor to He Yuzhu in his previous life.

At this moment, Xu Damao rushed in from the front and shouted to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, you are awesome."

He Yuzhu was confused by what Xu Damao said, but because Xu Damao didn't call him "Shazhu", He Yuzhu didn't know how to deal with this guy.

However, Xu Damao did not run away. Instead, he ran to He Yuzhu with an envious look and looked He Yuzhu up and down.

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes and said, "Are you itchy again?"

Xu Damao said abruptly: "Hey, He Yuzhu, what were you thinking at that time?"

There was no need for Xu Damao to explain. He Yuzhu heard the noise outside in COSCO. He hurriedly saw Secretary Wang walking into the central courtyard with a roll of paper in his right hand.

This scene reminded He Yuzhu of the cheesy TV dramas he had watched in later generations, the kind that read "By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees."

And Yan Bugui, who was bending in front to lead the way for Officer Wang, was naturally the eunuch beside the official announcing the imperial edict. The wrinkles on his smiling face were enough to catch a fly.

As soon as Secretary Wang entered the yard, she saw He Yuzhu. She smiled and said to He Yuzhu loudly, "Comrade He Yuzhu, there is good news, great news."

He Yuzhu knew that it must be a good thing, and he also knew what the good thing was. It was nothing more than that he donated the compensation money from the Jia family to the street.

This year encourages these things.

So from the day he donated the money, He Yuzhu knew this day would come.

Yan Bugui also said, "Secretary Wang, do you want me to call everyone out so that we can learn together?" Upon hearing this, Secretary Wang said, "Yes, yes, this is not only an honor for Comrade He Yuzhu, but also an honor for our entire street. Teacher Yan, your idea is very good."

At this time, the old lady also came over and smiled at Secretary Wang, "Xiao Wang, what good news is it that made you come here specially after get off work?"

The deaf old lady's idea was very simple. She always claimed that she knew many leaders in the yard, and Secretary Wang was one of them.

She also said that the street office gave her money every month, and that people like Secretary Wang respected and cared for her.

The true situation of the matter was not revealed.

In fact, the deaf old lady's house was not so much a donation as a transaction. She handed the house over to the street office, which freed her from the title of a wealthy landlord, and the street office also had to give her some living expenses every month.

The deaf old lady indeed made this decision after hearing too much gossip, but it did bring her some good reputation.

In the last incident with Jia Zhang, the deaf old lady knew that she had offended Secretary Wang.

But as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. The deaf old lady thought that since she came up to say hello like this, Secretary Wang should be polite to her.

Who would have thought that Secretary Wang could also change his expression? He was smiling brightly at He Yuzhu just now.

Seeing the deaf old lady coming up to join in the fun, Secretary Wang turned cold again and said to her calmly, "Wait, we'll announce it together later."

Secretary Wang originally had no such experience, but after the last incident, Secretary Wang reflected on it and also asked about the experiences of some people retained from the previous dynasty.

No one told her in detail, but just told Secretary Wang an idiom - the fox borrows the power of the tiger to bully others. Some old people in Beijing are used to using this trick.

No matter how successful they are, when introducing themselves, they will always say what important person once lived in their alley, what kind of relative they have is who is in the family of that important person…

Secretary Wang had just joined the street office and lacked experience, but that didn’t mean she was stupid. She understood what people were saying as soon as they explained it.

Hence today’s performance.

He Yuzhu's threat just now only made the deaf old lady a little bit scared. After all, He Yuzhu said it very clearly that as long as she didn't provoke the He family, the He family would not deal with her.

But now Director Wang’s indifference frightened the deaf old lady to the point of fear.

Without the protection of Secretary Wang, the deaf old lady would have no chance of surviving on this street.

When the neighbors in the courtyard heard that there was something exciting to watch, they all rushed into the middle courtyard, some holding bowls of rice, and some holding glasses of wine.

For example, Liu Haizhong was walking while sliding his belt. Needless to say, it must be that his second son got into trouble again and was punished.

If we were to say who in the yard are the most reluctant to come out, they would probably be Yi Zhonghai and his wife, as well as Jia Dongxu.

They knew little about this and had not yet remembered that it was related to He Yuzhu's donation that day.

Otherwise, no matter how high-ranking the leader is, they will not come out to support He Yuzhu like this unless they are forced.

After all, He Yuzhu's glory was built on their shame.
