Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Auntie, the woman who had been with him for half his life, the woman who had not given birth to any children in her life.

In the past, he always thought that it was because of the aunt that they had no children. It was not until he went to the hospital to visit Sha Zhu last time and the doctor gave him some knowledge about fertility that he went for a checkup and finally realized that it was his fault. He had wronged her for so many years. He had let his wife down. Now he was deserted by everyone, and she stood up to take the blame for him.

"My dear, it's useless for you to go back. Just live your life well. I did it and I will take responsibility for it." Yi Zhonghai said with some disappointment.

Deputy Director Wang saw this and gave an order. Two policemen escorted Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang directly back to the station. Director Wang dispersed the crowd but left Xu Damao and He Yushui alone.

"Girl, it's because we didn't do our job well that you have suffered so much. Don't worry, I will definitely stand up for you this time." Wang Lixia comforted He Yushui softly.

"Director Wang, don't worry. I always treat Yu Shui as my sister and I will take good care of her," said Xu Damao.

"Comrade Xu Damao, I trust you very much. Thank you for speaking up for justice and daring to expose illegal activities. And my superiors have also sent me a notice, I already know that you reported and assisted in the capture of enemy spies. As the subsequent arrest operation has not yet been completed, for your safety considerations it is not appropriate to make the matter public, and your reward will be delayed. My superiors asked me to take good care of you, if you have any trouble in the future, come to the street to find me." Wang Lixia said with appreciation.

"Hey, it's okay. This is what I should do. I will never allow enemy spies to destroy our country." Xu Damao said seriously.

"Comrade Xu Damao, I still want to ask you about Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady, and Jia Zhangshi. You asked about this compound, but they usually keep things secret too well."

"Hey, usually Yi Zhonghai relies on the old lady's support to cover up everything in the courtyard. He insists that matters in the courtyard should be resolved within the courtyard. He is also good at moral kidnapping and uses righteousness and morality to coerce others to achieve his goals... Jia Zhang often takes advantage of others by being unreasonable and unreasonable, and she also engages in feudal superstition... The old lady is lazy and used to being domineering. Her identity must be not simple. Maybe a careful search of her home can lead to unexpected discoveries..." Xu Damao also told some of the daily things of the three people.

"Thank you so much, Comrade Xu Damao. Tomorrow our street will send personnel to the compound to conduct an investigation in order to decide on their punishment. Judging from the current situation, Yi Zhonghai certainly can't continue to be the boss. You are young, promising and full of a sense of justice. You are also a cadre of the steel mill. Do you have any intention of becoming this boss?" Wang Lixia looked at Xu Damao expectantly.

"This is not appropriate. I'm too young to convince others, and I'm also very busy at work." Xu Damao declined.

"Why can't you convince the public? Wasn't it you who proposed the housing provident fund issue? It's a great thing and can really help those in need. Let Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui take over first, and you can be the third uncle. But you have to keep an eye on them and don't let them get confused."

Seeing that the conversation had come to this point, Xu Damao agreed and said, "There's nothing wrong with them. Yan Bugui is stingy and calculating, but he has corrected a lot after I advised him a few times. Liu Haizhong is a power-hungry person, but he has a bad habit of beating his children. His eldest son is fine, but Guangtian and Guangfu have been beaten a lot."

"Oh, there is such a thing. After all, this is a family matter and I can't interfere. But if it's too much, I can intervene. What do you want me to do?"

"Liu Haizhong's second son will join the army after the new year, leaving only the young third son Liu Guangfu. I'm afraid he'll get hurt, so I'd like to ask you to help teach Liu Haizhong a lesson. As long as this matter is related to being an official, Liu Haizhong will never beat his son again, considering how much he values ​​being an official."

"Okay, I got it. I'll hit Liu Haizhong next time I come over to announce the punishment. You guys take a rest first, I have to go back too."

"I'll see you off." Xu Damao and Yushui sent Director Wang to the front yard before returning. But as soon as they entered the compound, they were stopped by Yan Bugui who had just come out of the house. "Damo, you are really amazing. You are so smart. You sent them in with one move. I am convinced."

Xu Damao listened to Yan Bugui's flattery and waved his hands, "No, it's not like that. I didn't plan anything. If they behave properly, no one can do anything to them. If you do something wrong, you must admit it. If you are beaten, you must stand at attention. This time I just teach them a lesson."

"Did Director Wang tell us about the manager?" Yan Bugui asked in a low voice.

"That's true. Director Wang wanted me to be the eldest uncle, but I refused. How could I rank ahead of you two brothers? You and the second uncle will be promoted one level, and then I will be the third uncle. But in the future, you can't always think about taking advantage of others. The mass base is still very important." Xu Damao said.

After hearing what Xu Damao said, Yan Bugui finally felt relieved. He was afraid that Director Wang would say that they were inactive and did not report the incident, so they did not stop Yi Zhonghai. If Director Wang removed him as well, it would be a huge loss of face. "Okay, then I'm relieved. It's very cold outside. You guys should go back quickly."

Xu Damao took He Yushui back to his home. Lou Xiaoe had been back for a while, and when she saw them coming back together, she brought a plate of dried fruits.

"Sister Yushui, try the dried fruits that your brother Damao brought. Just treat them as your own home and don't be polite." Lou Xiao'e said.

Xu Damao made three cups of tea, handed one to He Yushui, and then lit a cigarette and started smoking.

"Yushui, what is your plan for this matter? Do you want Yi Zhonghai to go to jail for a while or settle privately and get some compensation?"

"I...I don't know. I haven't thought about it that much. I just want to tell it to let everyone know. It will also help me vent my anger."

"If you insist on talking about this, Yi Zhonghai will definitely go to jail, but your reputation will be affected to some extent. After all, your uncle and aunt did take good care of you." Xu Damao analyzed the situation carefully for He Yushui.

"If you want to settle it privately, it will definitely make Yi Zhonghai bleed a lot, and it will also make your future life easier. And this matter involves both you and your brother. I guess Auntie will definitely go to your brother to plead for mercy, and your brother will definitely relent and agree. This is basically the case. It's up to you to decide how to choose."

"Then let me think about it first. After all, my aunt did take care of me when I was a child." After saying this, He Yushui stood up and said goodbye, and went back in a daze.
