Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

No. 93, Nanluoguxiang.

A tall and strong man looked at his two sons. The younger one had a black eye socket on his left side, and the older one had a paper ball torn from somewhere stuffed in his left nostril. The paper ball was half stained red with blood.

"Dali, Xiaoli!" the tall and strong man said angrily, "You two are no smaller than the little bastards from the Zeng family, so why can't you beat them?"

The male owner of this house is named Zhang Dazhuang. Because of the homonym of his name and his physique, his neighbors usually call him Dazhuang.

Da Zhuang also works in a steel rolling mill. As for him... forget it, he’s not even a supporting role, no need to explain too much. In short, he’s strong in body but simple-minded.

"Dad, Xiaoqiang knows how to fight!" Dali rubbed her nose and said with a bitter face, "I heard him say before that he learned fighting from his sister-in-law. We thought it was fake, but we didn't expect... it was real. Look how he hit my nose... Aww~~~~"

Once the mourning starts, it’s not easy to stop.

Da Zhuang was upset by the child's crying and couldn't help but stood up and scolded: "Cry, cry, cry, you only know how to cry. You still have the nerve to cry when you can't win. I'm going to settle the score with Zhang Xiuzhi..."

Zhang Xiuzhi was a well-known person in the steel rolling mill, but Dazhuang was a notoriously reckless and ignorant young man who would confront anyone when he got angry.

But Dazhuang didn't have the chance to go out, as Zhang Xiuzhi came to his door first.

"Zhang Dazhuang..."

"Hey, I didn't look for you, you came to my door on your own." Da Zhuang didn't give Zhang Xiuzhi a chance to finish her words, and said with his hands on his waist, "Look, your two brothers beat my son, so tell me what to do."

Zhang Xiuzhi comes to visit, and Zhang Dazhuang confronts her. How could such a drama not attract attention?

So, there were quite a few people standing in the yard.

Normally, in this situation, no matter if it is a neighbor or an old man, they will come out to mediate.

But today, no one in Yard No. 93 came out to stop it.

There are two reasons for this. The first reason is that Zhang Dazhuang refuses to listen to advice. The neighbors all know his character and it is useless to persuade him. Only the uncles can suppress him together. The second reason is the rumors about Zeng Wangcai.

The fact that the word "traitor" can be spoken by a child shows that it has spread among adults.

To be honest, almost everyone in this hospital has received benefits from Zeng Wangcai, but now, no one dares to say a word about this rumor about Zeng Wangcai.

This rumor is troublesome and no one wants to be involved in it.

But not everyone is like this. Some people who had received benefits from Zeng Wangcai in the past and were kind-hearted and wanted to come out and persuade him, but when they saw Zhang Dazhuang like that, they immediately gave up the idea.

The two reasons influenced each other, resulting in no one at the scene intervening in this sudden conflict.

"I'm talking about something else. If you want to talk about this, fine!" Zhang Xiuzhi glanced at the two children and said, "If there are conflicts between children, whether it's quarrels or fights, that's the children's business. If they are not convinced, they can fight back after training. I have no objection and I won't interfere..."

"Did you hear me? I'll let you two fight back!" Da Zhuang was a bachelor, so he had no intention of bullying a kid. "You two should get up early every day and do horse stance for half an hour. I'll find you a master, and I won't believe that you can't fight back!"

"what?"

"Dad, can I not study? I'm hungry..."

Dali and Xiaoli were dumbfounded. Why did things seem more and more wrong as time went on?

After other people’s fights, it’s the parents who step in to help, but in our family, we have to squat?

"Now that we have finished talking about the child, let's talk about the matter between our two families!" After Da Zhuang finished teaching his son a lesson, he put his hands on his hips and said, "Your brother used the Kung Fu you taught me to beat my son, and I lost face. What do you think we should do?"

This guy actually questioned Zhang Xiuzhi for this reason.

"Did you chew the tongue of our Wangcai?" Zhang Xiuzhi asked back.

"I said, what's the matter?"

"Just admit it..."

A few minutes later, Da Zhuang covered his wrist and watched Zhang Xiuzhi leave with a bitter face.

"Damn, it's well-deserved!" Da Zhuang waited for Zhang Xiuzhi to leave before rubbing his face and said to his two sons, "Dad has decided. Starting tomorrow, I will squat with you..."

It’s even more embarrassing that I can’t even beat a woman.

But Dazhuang was a man who could let go of things easily. He would admit defeat if he lost and answered Zhang Xiuzhi's questions one by one.

What did Zhang Xiuzhi come here to ask?

The question is, where did the rumors about Zeng Wangcai come from?

There has been a rumor about Zeng Wangcai circulating these days, saying that Zeng Wangcai will not come back and has become a traitor, so the propaganda about Zeng Wangcai has stopped on the streets.

No one knows where this rumor came from, but as soon as it came out it was immediately made into something with details.

The news was not only spreading in Zeng Wangcai's courtyard, but also in other courtyards, and it was getting more and more serious.

Zhang Xiuzhi was naturally furious after hearing this and went to find out who spread the news, but how could one find the source of such a thing?

After fighting with Da Zhuang, Zhang Xiuzhi's anger subsided a little, and then she went to send a message to Zeng Wangcai without saying a word.

......

On a freshly painted cargo ship, in a hidden cabin, Zeng Wangcai was lying on a narrow boat, swaying with the waves.

Zeng Wangcai was still worried about Xiaobao's return, so he gave up part of the grocery store's fresh produce business and followed him.

The sea transportation time on both sides is about seven or eight days, and Zeng Wangcai can shorten this time a lot.

The freighter is currently about half a day's journey away from its destination port. Zeng Wangcai secretly came aboard yesterday. Only two people on the ship knew he was there, one was Xiaobao and the other was Captain Mark.

Mark is a foreigner, a senior captain, and the most trusted confidant of the Bao family. Bao An had gone to great lengths to persuade him to be the captain of this ship.

"Sure enough, something unexpected happened..." After receiving the message from Zhang Xiuzhi, Zeng Wangcai shook his head and sneered.

"What's the matter, big brother?" asked Little Leopard while smoking.

"Let Mark find a place to stop the boat first, and we'll talk later!"

"Row!"

After a while, the ship began to change course and look for a place to anchor under the command of the experienced Captain Mark.

"Xiaobao, I have a few things to tell you. I'm afraid I can't go back!" Zeng Wangcai said to Xiaobao who had returned, "Several core issues: First, if Li Huaide is the director of the garment factory, this deal can't be done; second, we must pay to sign the contract before discussing other things; third, we are not the helmsman of the company; fourth, investing in establishing an automobile trading company...

"The details of the attitude and other aspects of reflecting the problem are as follows. Remember them and practice them slowly. When you are good at practicing, you can get on the boat and go ashore..."

......

The rumors became more and more intense, resulting in few people daring to interact with the Zeng family openly. Those who were grateful only dared to talk to Chen Yumei secretly.

There is no way, it’s due to human nature and reality.

Li Yuanba came again today, but returned empty-handed again.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law..." Han Qiaosheng chased after Li Yuanba.

In the past two days, Han Qiaosheng's job transfer has begun. Han Qiaosheng has completely boarded Li Yuanba's boat and started calling him brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, my sister will definitely change her mind..." Li Yuanba flattered him while thinking that rumors alone seemed not enough.

He thought about it and came up with a very vicious plan.

The next day at work, Han Qiaosheng thought that his days at the garment factory were numbered, and if he didn't make a fortune now, he would have no chance later.

He found an opportunity when no one was around, and walked alone to a warehouse where materials were stored, and lit a cigarette...
