Siheyuan: What bad intentions could a veterinarian like me have?

Chapter 9 You are really my good brothers

"Xiangdong, what you said is really true. A doctor has a kind heart. With this awareness, he has long transcended the scope of veterinary medicine. I dare say that many doctors in those hospitals in Beijing are not as good as you!" Yan Bugui walked in with a smile on his face, pushing his glasses, with a shrewd look flashing behind the lenses.

"Who said it wasn't? Today I have figured it out. Xiangdong is the same as his father. His medical skills are impeccable. That's it!" Liu Haizhong gave a thumbs up and sat down carelessly, looking like a senior instructing his junior.

Hearing the two people's enthusiastic comments, Li Xiangdong twitched the corners of his mouth and rolled his eyes silently.

He knew exactly why these people came to his house.

Yan Bugui, the third uncle in the yard, is a teacher at Hongxing Primary School. Regardless of his teaching level, his character is really not that good.

This old fellow is in his forties or fifties, and he has taken calculating to its essence. In his words, if you calculate for food and clothing, you will be poor if you fail to do so.

For example, Teacher Yan never brings tea to the school office. He goes there very early every day, pretends to be dressed up, and appears near the water room. When he meets a familiar teacher who comes to make tea, he will say a few nice words to him and take a few tea leaves. This is how he gets through the whole day with tea.

People are extremely stingy.

The key point is that this old guy not only schemes against the people around him, but also his own family members.

Yu Li, the married daughter-in-law, was deeply troubled by this.

Every month, Yan Jiecheng and the old couple have to pay living expenses. In addition to the fixed meals, if they want to have an extra plate of peanuts or an extra bowl of pickles, they have to pay extra.

"You want to eat? You have to pay extra!"

This is the tactic Yan Bugui often uses on his family.

You would say that this person has no major flaws, but his stingy nature gives everyone a headache.

When you get along with him, you have to be on guard against being plotted against at all times.

Besides, the second uncle Liu Haizhong is a seventh-level forger at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. His job status is not as high as that of the first uncle Yi Zhonghai, who is an eighth-level fitter. In the yard, he is just the second uncle.

But the bad thing is that this old guy always feels that he has been firmly suppressed by Yi Zhonghai. Over the years, he has been making many tricks, trying to replace Yi Zhonghai and become the boss of the courtyard.

In the factory, I tried every possible means to climb up and dreamed of becoming a superior person.

why?
The second uncle Liu Haizhong has been dreaming of getting promoted and getting rich all his life. His desire for power is unmatched in the courtyard.

Such people are arrogant, conceited and bureaucratic, and look down on those who are lower in status than themselves.

In the past, how could the impoverished Li family have deserved to be in his eyes?
If you encounter one, all you can see is the two upturned nostrils in the bangs of the second uncle.

A third uncle who is extremely stingy, and a second uncle who is arrogant, the two of them brought their sons to visit. Li Xiangdong did not think that they were just visiting for a simple visit.

His purpose, I'm afraid, is the same as Xu Damao's, to show his presence and maintain good relationships, so as to lay a good foundation for asking Li Xiangdong for medical treatment in the future.

Li Xiangdong felt a little amused when he saw the third uncle happily pulling Yan Jiecheng to sit down and the second uncle spitting and instructing the Liu brothers to learn from him.

But he was not stupid, and would not expose someone's true colors outright. His harmless face was also filled with a smile, and he looked around for a kettle very seriously, "Hey, please sit down for a moment, there's no water. I'll boil some water for everyone and make some tea to cool off!"

"Look," Liu Haizhong patted his second son Liu Guangtian on the head with his fat hand, "Xiangdong is such a skilled doctor, but he is never arrogant. He is also so respectful to the elderly in the courtyard. You guys should learn from him!"

"Yes, yes, Dad, I understand!" Liu Guangtian covered his head and nodded repeatedly.

Liu Haizhong narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, glanced outside, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Li, we are so happy that you have embarrassed Old Yi today! This old guy likes to play high-sounding games, I just can't stand it! In the future, if he still forms gangs on behalf of Dongxu and Shazhu to deal with you, don't worry, just come to me! Your uncle is not a pushover either!" Oh, are they here to form a small group?

He dared to say this in front of Xu Damao and Third Uncle Yan Jiecheng. How long has Liu Haizhong been accumulating resentment and finally found an outlet to vent it?

Sure enough, this old guy had been dealt with badly for so many years. When he saw Li Xiangdong easily captured the old man and the idiot Jia Dongxu, he felt that he had found a confidant.

Yan Bugui pushed up his glasses and watched Li Xiangdong's feedback with a mercenary and shrewd look.

Xu Damao's expression was similar to his, but he was obviously more sophisticated. He kept grinning happily and was even busy picking up coal briquettes for Li Xiangdong.

"Hey," Li Xiangdong knew the attitudes of the people in the room very well, and said indifferently, "I, Li Xiangdong, never cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of trouble either. If anyone wants to shit on my head, they have to ask me if I'm willing!"

Several people's eyes lit up, and they suddenly felt that Li Xiangdong was much tougher than before.

"Whether he is Shazhu, Jia Dongxu, or even an old man," Li Xiangdong said, hinting, "or anyone else, if they want to plot against me, it won't be that easy! I see things very clearly!"

As he spoke, he pointed to his eyes, smiled and picked up the copper kettle to pour water for the few people.

"Dongzi, hey, I really found a bosom friend," Xu Damao was overjoyed when he heard this. "I hate Jia Dongxu, Shazhu and Daye the most for being in cahoots with each other. Damn, I was bullied so badly in the past. I will follow you in the future, and I can't stand seeing the three of them being in the same boat!"

In the past, this guy was indeed beaten badly by Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu. The old man protected them, and Xu Damao had no one to complain to. He had been feeling aggrieved for so many years. Now, seeing that Li Xiangdong was so tough and made three people obedient in one night, he felt the same as Liu Haizhong found a confidant.

Liu Haizhong was a little excited when he heard this, and he slammed the table, "Guangfu, why are you so blind? Look, Xiangdong's kerosene lamp is almost out. Go home and get a bowl of kerosene to add some for your brother Dong!"

The corners of Yan Bugui's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself that this old guy really knew how to take advantage of every opportunity and curry favor with Li Xiangdong without any hesitation.

He also wanted to curry favor, but his heart was bleeding and he didn't know what to do when he had to spend money.

A bowl of kerosene, that's money too!
"Okay!" Liu Guangfu jumped up and ran out.

Xu Damao smiled with his eyes narrowed, as if thinking about something.

"Thank you, Second Uncle!" Li Xiangdong said gratefully.

"Hey, Xiangdong, you are about the same age as Guangqi, Guangtian and Guangfu. It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. You all treat each other as brothers. What's the big deal? Let's go over and have a drink some other day!" Liu Haizhong said in a pretentious manner.

Li Xiangdong nodded with a smile, then patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Did you hear that? Second Uncle said that we are all brothers, so we shouldn't say anything polite!"

"Good brother!" Xu Damao excitedly held Li Xiangdong's hand, "When your sister-in-law comes back, ask her to prepare some dishes and we'll go drink!"

Yan Bugui was so anxious that he jumped up and down. This guy Xu Damao in Liu Haizhong was a man who was good at scheming. He had many tricks and interacted frequently with Li Xiangdong. He was about to win him over. He immediately kicked Yan Jiecheng who was stupid and said, "Let Yu Li cook a few dishes later. You guys can keep in touch with each other!"

Yan Jiecheng realized it later and scratched his head. "Yes, yes, yes, I'll ask Yu Li to treat you well later!"

"..." Li Xiangdong curled the corners of his mouth and glanced at Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng.

Well, Lou Xiao'e and Yu Li, you are really... my good brothers!
I can't count on these two guys, Guangtian and Guangfu, but I don't know when Liu Guangqi will get married...

"It's hard to refuse such a kind invitation, it's hard to refuse such a kind invitation!" Li Xiangdong looked reluctant and cupped his hands happily.
