Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

Using the salary of an engineer in exchange for a chassis design drawing, such a deal is like pie in the sky! Li Weidong thus became an honorary engineer of Jiefang Factory, and it is natural that he will seek his help when he encounters problems in the future.

"Great, Comrade Li, I was right about you! If this chassis can pass the test, I will definitely recommend you for credit!"

Li Weidong smiled modestly: "Since I have made a promise, I must fulfill it. If you take something from someone, you will feel guilty. If you eat something from someone, you will feel guilty."

Professor Su smiled and shook his head: "Young comrade, I see that you have been studying heavy trucks for quite some time."

Li Weidong scratched his head: "Did you find out?"

"How can I not see that? It's rare for someone to achieve this level of accomplishment alone and in private! Would you like to consider working with me? I promise that your treatment will be better than that at the steel mill. With your talent, being a driver is simply a waste."

"Professor Su, you can't say that. Working in the steel mill is more important to me than working here. You know, companies nowadays all focus on seniority, and I don't want to have to deal with other people's disapproval because of seniority."

Mr. Zhang listened at the side and his face turned gloomy.

Li Weidong was obviously bringing up what happened before.

Is it really that serious? Just because he looked down on you once, you will hold on to him?

Only Professor Su understood that Li Weidong was just looking for an excuse.

Obviously, it was impossible to let Li Weidong come to work at Jiefang Factory.

However, there is still some friendship between them.

As long as Li Weidong received the salary from the Jiefang Factory, how could he not work?

"Okay, I won't make it difficult for you. But you have to report more often during this period, and you can't leave until the product test is successful."

"No problem, the factory manager has already told me, I will fully cooperate."

"so be it!"

"Director, this is the situation. I personally think that we should notify the street police station and work together to rectify our work style. Otherwise, if this continues, our reputation will be damaged when people mention our alleys in the future."

After listening to Aunt Wang's words, the director pondered for a long time. After a while, he said, "What you said makes sense. I will discuss with the director to see if we can come up with a plan. However, you can continue to let that person investigate the internal situation."

"Okay, I'll tell him right away!"

Yu Li, who was waiting outside the door, saw Aunt Wang walking out of the director's office with a happy face, and she knew that things were going well.

"Aunt Wang, is it done?"

"Not yet, but soon. The director has agreed to discuss this with the police station. We can't get away with this."

"Great!"

Yu Li's tone revealed joy. Li Weidong rarely asked her to do anything, so this time she would naturally go all out.

"But Aunt Wang, there is one more thing."

"Huh? Tell me."

"Have you heard about the news that Xu Damao was released from prison?"

Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I haven't heard that he has been released from prison?"

Yu Li nodded: "Yes, that night he sneaked back to the courtyard and ran to where Jia Zhang slept. They slept together on the kang, and it made quite a noise."

"No way?" Aunt Wang said this, but the scene of Xu Damao and Jia Zhang sleeping on the same kang emerged in her mind, and she couldn't help laughing.

After a while, she realized that her attitude was wrong. As a staff member of the street office, how could she gloat over other people's misfortune?

Yu Li actually wanted to laugh as well. Every time she recalled what happened that night, she found it funny.

At that time, Xu Damao probably even wanted to die.

Everyone in the courtyard knew that Jia Zhang was unhygienic and only took a bath twice a year. The sour odor on her body could be smelled from a few meters away. Xu Damao actually slept in the same bed with her and was able to hold back and not vomit on the spot. He was really mentally strong.

"What is his attitude now?" Aunt Wang asked.

Yu Li replied: "Of course he wants to get his house back, but Qin Huairu's words blocked his way that night. I don't think he will give up. Sooner or later he will go to the street office. We have to prepare in advance."

Aunt Wang thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I understand. You don't have to worry about this. Now you are the second master in the courtyard. If you don't handle the house affairs properly, it will easily attract gossip."

Yu Li nodded: "I know."

After returning home, Yu Li told Li Weidong about the incident. Li Weidong had expected such a result and was not surprised, but he still praised his wife greatly. Then, he told about his own experience today.

When Yu Li learned that her husband might get the title of engineer, she almost jumped for joy.

"This is a big deal! I'm going to go back to my parents' house tomorrow to tell them and make them happy. But Weidong, in this way, can you get double salary every month?"

Li Weidong nodded: "In theory, that's right."

"How much can an engineer earn in a month? Will it be more than Yi Zhonghai?"

"Isn't it normal to have more than him? Although Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-level fitter, the engineer's level is higher. I guess it's probably more than a hundred yuan."

"so much?!"

Yu Li counted on her fingers and said, "Then our combined monthly salary would be close to two hundred!"

Li Weidong thought about it and realized that it was true.

In this era, the gap between the rich and the poor was not large, and the salary of senior leaders was only about ten times that of ordinary workers. In later times, any senior executive of a company could earn several times the salary of an ordinary person, and even say "a small goal".

Tsk tsk, people who don't know the truth think that China has already entered the ranks of developed countries! Little do they know that most people's monthly salary is only around 4,000 to 5,000 yuan.

Until now, he himself doesn't know how he managed to get through it.

Although Xu Damao looks strong and sturdy, he is actually a vulnerable coward who can only be bullied in that environment.

He didn't want to think about those days even for a moment.

Of course, he could choose to take a risk and bet that Kobayashi was bluffing him.

But if it fails, the consequences will be extremely serious.

Xu Damao struggled for a long time and finally decided to be patient for the time being, and he would get his revenge sooner or later.

So he fumbled around his body for a while, and finally took out a small blue booklet, which was Dan Xiaolin's driver's license.

Before he could open his mouth, Shan Xiaolin hurriedly interrupted him.

"You're still sensible. Where's my money?"

"Money? It's all spent!" Xu Damao said frankly.

Shan Xiaolin immediately opened his eyes wide: "You are talking nonsense, I clearly have more than 30 yuan, how long have you spent it all? Who are you bullying!"

Xu Damao retorted: "What's so strange about this? I've always been a big spender, so what's so strange about me spending it all?"

Shan Xiaolin was so angry, but fortunately he was prepared.

"Then give me back what you just stole!"

"Dream on! Tell me everything you know and get out of here!"

"Humph! Xu Damao, you are really a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. Let me tell you, the police will be here soon. Guess what I am doing now?"

When Xu Damao heard this, his face immediately turned pale.

Shan Xiaolin is deliberately delaying time!

"Asshole!"

"Don't be angry, let's see how long you can keep your mouth shut!"

Xu Damao swung his fist at Shan Xiaolin.

Who is Shan Xiaolin? He has dealt with many hooligans while racing.

Although there are guns in the factory, they cannot be used casually.

Therefore, his skills are very important.

Facing Xu Damao's fist, Shan Xiaolin sneered, dodged it nimbly, and then kicked the opponent's joint hard.

Xu Damao lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground. Unfortunately, his mouth hit the door sill and his two front teeth flew out instantly.

Before he could stand up, Shan Xiaolin had already stepped on his head.

"Xu Damao, you are so brave that you dare to fight with me? Do you think you are so great? Let me tell you, if you don't apologize to me today, you will never leave here!"

Before Xu Damao could say anything, his mistress turned pale with fright and quickly took out a cloth bag from her pocket and handed it to Shan Xiaolin.

"Comrade, the money is all here. We didn't spend a penny. Please let Maomao go. He has had a hard time already. He can't go in again!"

Shan Xiaolin looked at Xu Damao's mistress in surprise, thinking that this woman in blue pants actually stood up and spoke for him at the critical moment.

He looked down at Xu Damao and said sarcastically, "Xu Damao, look at yourself, you are far behind others! But it's not enough to just pay back the money, you also have to compensate me for my mental damages!"

Xu Damao glared at his mistress fiercely, but she did not show any weakness and even squatted down to help him wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Xu Damao knew his current situation, so he chose to admit his mistake.

"I'll let you go first, and I'll let you go after you bring me the money."

"No!" Shan Xiaolin shook his head and said, "Give me the money first, and I'll let you go after you get it."

Xu Damao had no choice but to signal his mistress to take out the money.

Only after receiving 20 yuan in mental damage compensation did Shan Xiaolin move his foot away from Xu Damao's face.

"Next time you have to watch your back and don't mess with people you can't afford to mess with. If you see me next time, I'll beat you up every time I see you. Do you understand?"

Xu Damao remained silent because he knew that refutation at this time would only bring him trouble.

He acquiesced to Shan Xiaolin's warning.

Shan Xiaolin didn't care about it. He had already got the money back anyway, so he put his hands behind his back and left whistling.

But as soon as he left, Xu Damao said to his mistress: "Cuihua, pack up your things quickly and take away all the valuables."

Cuihua nodded, turned around and started packing.

Xu Damao squatted down and picked up his two fallen front teeth.

Xu Damao is already over 30 years old. It is impossible for him to grow new teeth, and it is impossible to replace lost teeth. He can only find some gold and silver jewelry to replace them.

He and Cuihua have saved some money recently, otherwise they would have lost both the wife and the army.

After Cuihua finished packing, the two of them hurriedly left the alley.

But they haven't decided where to go next.

Cuihua plans to take the money back to the countryside, just hoping for safety.

She was abandoned by Old Man Huang and disliked by the Yan family. Especially because of Yan Jiefang's illness, she once caused a big fuss in the textile factory.

Although many of the female workers in the textile factory came from the Eight Great Hutongs before, they have now reformed and are disgusted with chaotic relationships between men and women.
