Others were outraged.
Yi Zhonghai listened as the entire hospital staff criticized him.
He just apologized in a humble manner, so why won't you let him off the hook?
"I've already admitted my mistake, why are you still saying this to me?"
"I've already said I won't shower at this place anymore, why won't you believe me?"
He Hongyang pointed at him and said, "Remember what you said today. From now on, not only will you not be allowed to wash your manure bucket here, but you also won't be allowed to wash your clothes here."
Why can't I wash my clothes?
"Because your clothes are also covered in feces. There are many elderly people and children in the yard. If you are so unhygienic, what if they get infected with diseases?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
“He Hongyang is right. He is a doctor, so whatever he says is true.”
"From now on, not only your clothes, but you should also avoid washing your face in the courtyard, so as not to bring dirt into the courtyard."
Yi Zhonghai was absolutely furious.
He just got a job as a sanitation worker, why can't he wash here?
The yard belongs to everyone, and he is one of them, so why can't he use the sink here?
"You're just using moral blackmail. I don't believe that the elderly or children can actually get sick from you."
“It’s not just about getting sick, but more importantly, we don’t trust you at all! If we let you wash clothes here, you might secretly clean your latrine bucket again.”
Looking at Jia Zhangshi, she said, "And you, you're the most dishonest person in this courtyard. If I let you wash clothes here, would you still secretly scrub the bucket?"
Jia Zhangshi was stumped by the question.
All I did was wash a bucket; it wasn't a matter of principle. Why did I receive such severe criticism?
"I..."
Before he could even speak, He Hongyang interrupted.
"Are you trying to say that everyone is morally blackmailing you? Don't forget how you used to stand on the moral high ground and criticize others."
"Let me be clear with you today: although you've admitted your mistakes, we don't believe you!"
Yi Zhonghai knew he was bringing up old grievances.
The courtyard house isn't something He Hongyang can decide.
Why can't I wash here just because he says I can't?
"If you say that, I'll report you to the local authorities."
"Let's go to the neighborhood committee right now. You want to sue me? I'm doing this to protect the interests of everyone in the hospital. Let's see what you can sue me for!"
Sha Zhu immediately stepped forward and surrounded Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi.
“Say it again, and let’s see if you two are right, or if we are right.”
Then Xu Damao and Yan Jiefang came over.
"You dare to go to the neighborhood committee to report Brother He? If you dare to report him, we'll report you!"
"Yes, report him to the neighborhood committee for using the trough in the yard to clean the manure bucket."
Then more people gathered around.
It was as if they would never let Yi Zhonghai off the hook if he dared to make a move.
Yi Zhonghai knew he was no match for He Hongyang.
Here, the young people in the compound helped him; when he went to the street, Zhang Dajun helped him.
Even if he were in the right, let alone if he were in the wrong, he simply couldn't win against him!
I still have work to do in a bit.
If he arrives too late, they won't want him anymore.
Then their family will be starving this month!
We're just waiting to agree to his request.
He won't touch the sink anymore.
Let alone washing clothes, he would even go outside to wash his face and brush his teeth.
Jia Zhangshi did not expect that Yi Zhonghai would be defeated so quickly.
In other words, no matter what you do in the future, you will have to go outside.
Wouldn't that mean traveling a very long distance?
From now on.
Every time they see them, the adults and children in the yard cover their noses.
The children would follow behind them, waving their hands and fanning themselves.
"It stinks! You smell terrible, you're making the whole yard stink!"
The adults in the courtyard stared at them like they were thieves.
To prevent them from getting close to the sink, they would whisper and point at each other whenever they saw the two of them appear.
If the two of them get even a little too close to the sink, they'll come over immediately.
"What are you trying to do? Are you trying to take this opportunity to clean the latrine bucket again?"
"If we catch you, be careful, we'll tell He Hongyang."
"No wonder no one believed you before; it turns out you're not honest at all."
The two of them are now like rats in the street, hated by everyone.
Yi Zhonghai is alright.
He had a fight with an older woman at home, and she had no choice but to take his clothes outside to wash them.
Jia Zhangshi was no longer able to cope.
She not only had to wash her own clothes, but also help her son and daughter-in-law with theirs.
Now we're keeping her away from the sink.
The only option is to take these clothes outside to be washed.
He complained to Qin Huairu (Zhao Le Zhao) more than once: "Don't make me wash your and Dongxu's clothes. I have to go out to work and do housework at home every day. Are you trying to kill me with exhaustion?"
“Look at Yi Zhonghai. He was also a sanitation worker, but when he came back, he didn’t have to do housework or wash clothes. His wife did everything.”
"You're my daughter-in-law, you should do these chores!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu glared at her.
“Didn’t you see that he has to do another job after he comes home during the day? If you do that too, I’ll do the laundry.”
"Don't forget you do nothing at home, so why should I do all the housework? You promised to go with me to the sanitation team, but you went back on your word after two days. You really don't keep your word."
Qin Huairu came directly in front of her.
"You've already made the whole hospital look down on you by yourself, do you expect me to go with you?"
"Do you also want to prevent me from washing my face and brushing my teeth in the sink?"
"Don't forget I'm young; this job isn't for young people."
Jia Zhangshi rolled her eyes at her.
Since marrying Qin Huairu, their family has practically gained a great-grandmother.
Not only does he not do any transit work, but he also eats 371 more meals a day than anyone else with 72.
But she didn't dare say anything.
After all, her son was on her side.
He was even more afraid that Qin Huairu would bring up the issue of household registration, and that the two of them would start fighting again.
Now everyone in the hospital treats He Hongyang with utmost respect.
Firstly, they thanked him for seeing through Yi Zhonghai's scheme and for stopping him from using the water tank.
Secondly, they wanted He Hongyang to be the leader of this institute.
More than once, people have said to him, "You're so capable, and you're a doctor, you should mentor our hospital staff."
"We'll all listen to you then. As long as you tell us to go east, we'll never dare to go west."
"If you become the leader of this courtyard, how prestigious the He family will be! You'll not only be the head of the He family, but also the head of our entire courtyard!"
Liu Haizhong was overjoyed to hear everyone praising He Hongyang so highly.
I was incredibly envious.
He couldn't wait to go out and loudly proclaim: "Look at me! I've made great progress these past few years, and I'm willing to be the leader of this institute!"
160. Those who try to take advantage of others by crowding together, get lost!
The people in the courtyard had mentioned it to the rest of the He family more than once.
Let He Hongyang step forward and lead them.
Gradually, the He family also became somewhat tempted.
Especially Sha Zhu.
I was incredibly excited.
The He family used to be the worst off in the courtyard house. Although their lives improved later, they didn't have an old family home, and everyone was a junior.
Every time I saw Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, I had to bow and greet them.
Moreover, Liu Haizhong goes to the cafeteria to get food every time.
They would always say to others, "Look, this is Sha Zhu from our courtyard. In terms of seniority, he calls me 'Grandpa'."
"And He Hongyang from the infirmary, he has to call me respectfully in terms of seniority."
If my eldest brother really becomes a prominent figure in the courtyard.
Then the He family will truly rise to prominence!
Since everyone in the courtyard houses supports it, the neighborhood committee will probably agree as well.
Then he can stand beside his elder brother and support him without hesitation.
Just like the incident with Yi Zhonghai cleaning toilets, they would dare to tie him up as soon as their boss gave the order.
There's no need to go through the streets at all.
There's enough room for him to drink a whole pot of water in the yard!
At that time, it won't just be the Yi family and the Jia family.
Even the Yan family, the Liu family, and the Xu family all have to listen to their eldest brother.
All he has to do is raise his arm and say, "Let's start a meeting."
Everyone else will either roll or crawl, and they will all have to obey his orders.
When they met, they all had to respectfully address him as Brother He.
Then call him "Second Brother He" again.
Thinking of this nickname, Sha Zhu couldn't help but grin.
“Sister-in-law, aunt, don’t you think what I’m saying makes sense? My brother is very popular right now, we must strike while the iron is hot and push him into this position.”
Wang Liying and Zhao Ailing nodded in agreement.
These days, people are incredibly polite to them.
