Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

Yan Bugui chuckled, not taking Lao Chen's determination seriously at all.

Yan Bugui could enjoy the meager debt of fifty cents for his whole life.

During the chat, he repeatedly taught Lao Chen how to do things. After feeding him, Yan Bugui looked forward to being treated to a meal naturally.

However, Lao Chen began to order him to leave, saying that if he was not sent away, he would not even be allowed to help make the screen.

Yan Bugui tactfully gave in and gave up this opportunity to eat for free.

But now that it was over, he felt relieved.

He secretly planned to finalize the fees for Qin Huairu and Liu Haizhong after he came back.

For something like this, charging five dollars per household is not excessive at all.

Look, by doing some simple and easy mental work, ten dollars can be easily put into the pocket, and the children’s accommodation problem can also be solved.

In Yan Bugui's opinion, he has many children and many people living in his home, which is enough to intimidate the three brothers Banggeng, Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian.

After a while of thought, he, Yan Bugui, was the final winner of this troublesome matter.

However, his good mood did not last long.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Yan Bugui saw a group of people gathered there to watch, it was very lively.

Curious, he squeezed in and grabbed a resident who was watching and asked, "What happened?"

The resident who was pulled back turned around and found that it was Yan Bugui. The expression on his face became more and more nervous in an instant: "Oh, Third Uncle? Hey, something big happened in our yard. I heard that the leaders of the neighborhood committee and the steel mill decided to rent Xu Damao's house to Jia Zhang at a low price!"

"nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui's eyes widened instantly, his eyes lit up, and his face became filled with horror.

This house is related to whether he can take advantage of this opportunity to solve the accommodation problem at home.

After saying this, he immediately struggled to push through the crowd and waited for an opportunity to blend into the crowd.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were seen whispering and arguing with people from the street office and the factory housing management department.

"Sister Wang, this is too arbitrary! There are so many people in our courtyard. Some families have 70 or 80 people squeezed into one room. On the other hand, Qin Huairu's family only has these few people. Even if they want to vote, how can it be their turn?"

Aunt Wang glanced at Yi Zhonghai out of the corner of her eye. As an old neighbor who had known him for a long time, she knew his temper and personality very well.

She nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry about it. There's no point in telling you, an outsider, so much. Besides, this house is not sold to Qin Huairu. It's just temporarily lent to them for a period of time. We will take it back in the future."

"That being said, it's hard to guarantee that the residents in the courtyard will not be satisfied with this approach. If it gets out of hand, it will be really embarrassing."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's dissatisfied face, Aunt Wang turned her head to Liu Haizhong and asked, "Are you dissatisfied, or do all of us in the hospital have objections?"

After returning from the detention center, Aunt Wang went to the street office first to discuss some big moves with the leaders, and then visited the management of the steel mill.

After some discussion, everyone unanimously agreed to this plan, to first stabilize the situation on the Qin family's side, and then wait for an opportunity to take back the property after the relationship between the Qin family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was restored.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into Xu Damao's room, Aunt Wang felt surprised.

This house has been empty for some time since the owner had an accident. The floor should have been covered with dust, but it was unusually tidy and clean, as if it had been cleaned not long ago.

Aunt Wang works at the street office and has seen all kinds of people and things. She quickly realized that someone had illegally occupied the room. Then, someone came to defend the second uncle, which made Aunt Wang immediately suspect that he was the ** behind the scenes. Liu Haizhong should usually assist Aunt Wang, but now he came out to stop her. There must be something wrong. Aunt Wang warned Liu Haizhong, and he immediately lowered his head and dared not say another word.

At this time, Yan Bugui came over and said to Aunt Wang, "Sister Wang, why didn't you notify them? Is it allocated like this?" Aunt Wang glanced at Yan Bugui and asked, "It's you. Do you have any objections?" Yan Bugui said with a twitch in his mouth, "I think this matter should be fair. It's a waste to let Jia Zhang live in such a big house alone. I mean, can't we let the families with more people in our yard share part of it?" Aunt Wang thought seriously for a while and felt that things should be done fairly now. Qin Huairu's family did not make any contribution, and they should not be given special treatment just because of their opposition, otherwise other residents will definitely not accept it. After all, Qin Huairu just didn't let Jia Zhang go back to her room, and it should be fine if a few more people live there. After all, there are still too many sheep to drive.

Yan Bugui saw Aunt Wang thinking seriously and knew that things were already going well. He secretly thought that Qin Huairu might get some benefits, but he would never lose. As long as Aunt Wang agreed, his screen made of coffin boards could still come in handy, and the children could be arranged in it. The house was full of children, and someone always needed to take care of them. His Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiecheng were the most suitable! After all, they were older and had an overwhelming advantage over other children.

After a long time, Aunt Wang finally made a decision and turned to Yi Zhonghai and said, "Old Yi, you count the situation in the yard and hand it over to me tonight. Jia Zhang will move in first, and I will consider how to allocate it later." Yi Zhonghai was not satisfied with this answer, but he knew that he could not change anything. Although he, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were the housekeepers of the yard, they actually had no control over anyone and only acted as mediators when there were conflicts between residents.

Seeing Auntie Wang and the neighborhood committee members leave, Yan Bugui breathed a sigh of relief. Before leaving, he pulled Liu Haizhong and exchanged glances. After a while, the two met again in Liu Haizhong's room.

Yan Bugui asked: "Old Liu, what do you think about this?"

Liu Haizhong replied: "How can I see it? I can just watch from the sidelines. What can I change?"

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "You can't say that, Lao Liu. Things have to be planned. Now that Wang Dazui has agreed to go back and think about it, the house will definitely be divided among the people in our yard. Think about it, the children of our two families are the oldest, and no matter how stubborn Jia and Zhang are, they can't turn the tables. In the end, don't we have the final say on the house?" After hearing what Yan Bugui said, the look in Liu Haizhong's eyes glowed again.

At the same time, a trace of worry emerged from deep in her heart. Once the secret between her and Li Weidong was revealed, they would all face serious repercussions. Fortunately, Qin Jingrong's wisdom, which she never showed easily, finally played a role and prevented the disaster from happening. Nevertheless, Li Weidong immediately thought of a counterattack strategy. If Jia Zhangshi could not be completely defeated, the old woman would definitely continue to make trouble. Therefore, he said to Qin Jingrong: "You go to hide in the cellar, and when Jia Zhangshi and Yi Zhonghai come in, close the door immediately, and then go outside and shout for help, especially call the aunt to come over!" Qin Jingrong was stunned at first, but soon she understood Li Weidong's intention, and immediately ran to the cellar without even having time to answer Li Weidong.

If this opportunity is missed, it may become more difficult to deal with Jia Zhang in the future. When Qin Jingrong returned to the cellar and found that Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang had not appeared yet, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she hid behind a pile of firewood. The light in the cellar was dim, and if you walked a little deeper, you would not be able to see your hand in front of you. As long as Qin Jingrong kept quiet, she would not be easily discovered. After a while, she heard footsteps getting closer and heard Jia Zhang's cold voice. Although she was talking in a low voice, Qin Jingrong still heard it. "Old Yi, they should be inside, should we notify others?" Yi Zhonghai shook his head in objection, because his face was very ugly. Indeed, he was about to cook dinner, but was interrupted by Jia Zhang's words. He immediately put down the cabbage leaves that had not been washed yet, and hurried over.

The two continued to go deeper into the cellar. They thought that if Li Weidong and Qin Jingrong were really here, they would definitely hide further away to prevent the sound from being heard or being discovered. Jia Zhangshi and Yi Zhonghai's footsteps were very light. After a while, Qin Jingrong, who was hiding in the dark, could not hear their movements. Qin Jingrong was about to close the cellar door, but she suddenly thought that it was far from enough to just lock them in, and she had to fight back. So she found a wooden barrel, which was originally someone's toilet. It had been cleaned and contained half a bucket of turbid and smelly water. Qin Jingrong returned to the cellar with the bucket. Because Jia Zhangshi and Yi Zhonghai deliberately lightened their footsteps, it was difficult for Qin Jingrong to find them. She gritted her teeth and casually poured out the water in the bucket. Soon she heard Jia Zhangshi's screams and Yi Zhonghai's curses.

Qin Jingrong immediately put down the bucket and hurried out. She came to the exit, closed the door, and locked it with a rusty lock. Hearing the sound of closing and locking the door, Jia Zhangshi didn't understand what happened, but Yi Zhonghai immediately realized that they were calculated. He didn't bother to wipe the water off his body and walked quickly to the exit. But the door had been locked from the outside by Qin Jingrong and could not be opened. Yi Zhonghai turned pale and said, "Auntie, we were fooled!" "Fooled?" Jia Zhangshi just started to say this, and suddenly thought of only her and Yi Zhonghai in the cellar, and suddenly felt angry: "Qin Jingrong, you damn little thing!" After Qin Jingrong came out of the cellar, she went straight to Liu Haizhong. With an anxious look on her face, she said to Liu Haizhong who was smoking: "Second uncle, something bad has happened, our cellar has been stolen!" After hearing this, Liu Haizhong immediately stood up with the help of the table. There are many cabbage lumps stored in his cellar. If the cellar is stolen, his part may also be stolen. He hoped to use these cabbages to make spicy and sour cabbage as a side dish.

"Let's go and have a look." When Liu Haizhong was about to rush to the cellar, Qin Jingrong stopped him: "Wait a minute, second uncle, we can't be so impulsive! Who knows how many thieves there are and whether they have weapons?" Liu Haizhong suddenly realized that if he rushed over rashly, something big might happen. So he went back to the room, picked up the broken gong that was used to summon everyone to meetings, and hit it hard. The sound of the gong was like a sharp sword, breaking the tranquility of the courtyard for the whole day. The residents walked out of the room in confusion and asked Liu Haizhong: "Second uncle, what's going on? Are we going to hold another general meeting?" Liu Haizhong stomped his feet: "What kind of meeting! Our yard has been robbed!" When they heard that a thief had broken in, everyone became excited. In this era, every household was not rich, and even a piece of rag had its value and could not be stolen. Everyone went back home to select the right tools. The young man asked Liu Haizhong with murderous intent: "Uncle, where is the thief? Let's go catch him now. He is so tired of living that he dared to run into our yard to steal things!" Liu Haizhong said: "In the cellar, they should still be inside. We must hurry up and don't let them run away." So, these people walked towards the cellar aggressively. Liu Haizhong and Qin Jingrong walked in front, Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian followed, and even Sha Zhu, who rarely appeared in the courtyard recently, came. But seeing the way he walked staggeringly, he seemed to have been hollowed out. It was impossible to expect him to catch the thief.
