The life of a villain in a courtyard

"Well, it's getting late today. Tomorrow, you go find Qiangzi and tell him not to cause trouble for Xu Huizhen again, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

After saying that, he turned and went back to the house.

……

The next day, Fan Jinyou found Qiangzi's residence according to Chen Xueru's instructions. The door was almost smashed down and no one came out.

"Why are you making so much noise so early in the morning?..."

The aunt next door was upset by the sound of banging on the door. She was about to go out and curse, but when she saw the clothes they were wearing, she immediately shut her mouth and became servile. Who in the city dared to mess with them now?

"Do you live here?"

"Yes, I live here for more than ten years. What can I do for you?"

Fan Jinyou looked at the woman, then looked at her house and asked casually, "Do you know anyone who lives here?"

"Yes, he is Qiangzi. What do you want from him?"

"Do you know where he went?"

"I don't know about that. He didn't come back yesterday. Maybe he went to find a secret door somewhere."

Qiangzi usually has this habit, so no one found it strange.

"Okay, I got it. If he comes back, tell him that our Director Fan Jinyou is looking for him. Did you know?"

"Hey, don't worry, I will notify him as soon as he comes back."

On the other side, Qiangzi was taken back by Director Wang and locked in a small dark room.

At first he thought he would be treated inhumanely, just like those intellectuals who were paraded through the streets and lived in cow sheds, but the actual result was that no one paid any attention to him and he was left in the house all night.

"Someone has no food, someone has no food! I'm starving, someone give me something to eat, even if I'm beheaded I still have to have a full meal."

"What are you yelling for! If you don't sleep so early in the morning, I'll go to sleep too."

He was sent by Director Wang to look after Qiangzi. He was in a bad mood as he had not slept well the night before.

"I haven't eaten or drunk anything all night. Can you bring me something to eat?"

"Sure, but it depends on your sincerity..."

He stretched out his hand to signal Qiangzi.

"You, what do you mean?"

"You don't understand this. If you want to eat, you have to pay, you know."

Being a guard is the least lucrative job, while the others who followed Director Wang to search houses all enjoyed a good life.

"You want more money?"

"Of course, eating there is free."

Qiangzi searched his whole body but couldn't find a penny. He was in such a hurry when he went out yesterday that he forgot to bring it with him.

"Whether I have money or not, if I don't have money I'll leave, and the person who's going to take over my job will come just in time."

"Yes, yes, but I didn't bring it with me. But I have it at home. I will definitely give it to you when I get out."

"Really?"

"Really? I, Qiangzi, always keep my word. If you don't believe me, go and ask around."

"Okay, wait a minute."

I don't know how much time passed, but the other party brought him two steamed buns and poured him a pot of cold water, and asked him for two yuan just for these things.

After finally making it to noon, Director Wang had him released and told him to get out.

"Qiangzi, you're back. Director Fan asked you to come over this morning. Remember to go."

"Director Fan? I understand."

Fan Jinyou told him to get lost yesterday, but he came to him again today. I don’t know what he wants to do, but now that he has lost Director Wang’s protection, Fan Jinyou has to go.

"Who's outside, old lady?"

The aunt next door came back into the house and saw her old man.

"Qiangzi from next door is back. This morning, several people from the Revolutionary Committee came to see him. He's a man in his thirties, but he doesn't even have a wife, and yet he's hanging out with that group of people. Come back and tell our kids to stay away from him. He doesn't look like a good person."

After Qiangzi returned home, he ate something casually and then went to sleep. He was so frightened that he couldn't sleep all night last night. He finally got out and fell asleep on the bed.

When I woke up, it was already past one in the morning.

Qiangzi lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He clearly smelled a strong scent of alcohol outside that day, but how come there was nothing when he went in? This didn't make sense. As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Xu Huizhen must be hiding something from him, but what was it?

"Forget it, let's go take a look again."

Thinking of this, he stood up, put on his clothes, and went to Xu Huizhen's small courtyard in the suburbs.

This time he was well prepared and brought some tools that could be used to climb the wall.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Grandpa Sun kept a wolfdog in the yard. The dog had fallen asleep but was awakened by the sound of Qiangzi falling to the ground.

"Don't bite, don't bite!"

The wolfhound rushed out of the kennel and ran straight to where Qiangzi was staying, biting him on the butt when he was not prepared.

"Ouch! Where did this dog come from?"

Clearly, there was no dog there yesterday, but he didn't know that they took the dog away when they were transporting things yesterday, catching him off guard.

"Who! Who's outside?"

Grandpa Sun shouted and rushed out of the house holding a fire poker.

"you again!"

With the dim light, Grandpa Sun recognized Qiangzi, the one who led the trouble here yesterday.

"Get the hell out of here, old man!"

The wolfhound bit Qiangzi's butt tightly with its big mouth and refused to let go.
