Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

Qin Huairu left the house, but the aftermath of the incident has not subsided. Instead of reflecting on her mistakes, she put all the blame on Xiaodang. She spread the news of Xiaodang's unfilial behavior everywhere, letting everyone know her "evil deeds". At the same time, she also spread rumors that Xu Damao had bad intentions towards his daughter, trying to divert attention and make people ignore her own problems.

However, Xu Damao was in trouble because of this. He thought that he could vent his anger by using Zhang Yuan to get the house back, but he didn't expect that Qin Huairu's rumors made his reputation even worse. He felt like he was shooting himself in the foot and regretted it a lot.

At this moment, Xiaodang appeared at his door. She burst into tears, crying and denouncing Qin Huairu's ruthlessness and shamelessness. She told Xu Damao that Qin Huairu had gone completely crazy and no longer treated her like a mother. Then, Xiaodang apologized to Xu Damao, saying that she had implicated him and made him suffer such humiliation.

Seeing Xiaodang so sensible, Xu Damao's heart softened. He realized that this child was actually innocent and had been abused by Qin Huairu. So he decided to do something that Xiaodang would never expect but would be very happy about - he paid out of his own pocket to help Xiaodang go to school.

When Xiaodang heard the news, she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She had never thought that she would have the opportunity to go to school, and it was Xu Damao who took the initiative to propose it. She was grateful and promised to study hard in the future to repay Xu Damao's kindness. Xu Damao looked at Xiaodang and was also filled with relief.

As soon as the news spread, everyone in the courtyard changed their views on Xu Damao, and they all sighed: "Xu Damao, who has always been cunning, has turned over a new leaf and started doing good things?" Qin Huairu, on the other hand, was furious. She really couldn't understand why Xu Damao would be so generous to support her daughter's education. In her opinion, it was a waste to use the money to support the ungrateful Xiaodang's education. It would be better to use it to support her son, at least to help him replenish his body and increase his nutrition.

However, there was another person who was extremely regretful at this moment, and that was Huaihua. She had not stood firmly on Xiaodang's side because of fear and worry before. Now, when she heard the news that Xiaodang was about to receive funding to go to school, her heart was suddenly filled with regret and jealousy. She also complained about Xu Damao like Qin Huairu, why did he only support Xiaodang, did he forget about her? She couldn't help but think of the countless times she had affectionately called Xu Damao "Dad Xu", and felt that those calls seemed to be in vain.

There is another key figure in this matter - Zhang Yuan. He was upset about being used by Xu Damao. He had sent Jerry to get information before, but Jerry found nothing. Instead, Tom made a new discovery: Xu Damao would stay overnight at a house every few days, and not only him, but many other people would go there. Although Tom didn't understand what they were doing, based on Tom's description, Zhang Yuan knew that it must be a place where fallen women lived.

Zhang Yuan immediately came up with a plan. He contacted his former colleague Huang Tang, who is now the deputy captain of the public security brigade. Zhang Yuan told Huang Tang the specific address of the obscene place and told him to keep it confidential.

That night, the public security brigade, the police station and the factory security department launched a joint anti-gangster and anti-evil operation. However, Xu Damao seemed to be blessed by God. Perhaps because he had done some good things recently, or because of good luck, he did not go to the place that night because of something urgent, and luckily escaped. This made Zhang Yuan very angry, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he must find Xu Damao's handle.

Soon, Zhang Yuan finally waited for a perfect opportunity...

Xu Damao had just returned from a social event, and was drunk. He was walking unsteadily, taking two steps and then three steps back, almost falling to the ground. He would occasionally let out a silly laugh, as if he had encountered something happy.

Zhang Yuan stared at Xu Damao and whispered to Spike, "Watch my gestures later. If I tell you to rush out and bite him, you should do it right away!"

However, just as they were about to take action, Xu Damao suddenly turned around and walked into a small alley. He touched the wall and walked into the alley.

"Why did Xu Damao change his route?" Zhang Yuan was very confused and said to himself.

Spike shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Zhang Yuan and Spike decided to continue following Xu Damao to see where he was going.

Xu Damao walked to the door of a house with a familiar look and knocked on the door. After a while, a woman poked her head out of the house and saw that Xu Damao was alone, so she opened the door with confidence and welcomed him in.

Zhang Yuan thought to himself that Xu Damao was like a walking map. Even when he was drunk, he could find such a hidden place accurately. He had only intended to give him a beating, but he unexpectedly discovered a bigger secret.

The next night, the police took action again and successfully wiped out a den. However, for Zhang Yuan, he didn't care whether Xu Damao was caught. Instead, he asked Tom and others to continue tracking Xu Damao's whereabouts.

As long as Xu Damao did not return home in the middle of the night, no matter where he went, the police would appear at that place the next day.

As time went by, some strange rumors began to spread. Some people said that Xu Damao often went out in the middle of the night, and every time he went out, he would attract the attention of the police. These rumors gradually aroused people's curiosity and speculation.

Finally, one day, Xu Damao was beaten and hospitalized. According to rumors, he was retaliated because his behavior caused dissatisfaction among some people. This incident triggered more discussions and speculations, but no one knew the specific truth.

Zhang Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Xu Damao was beaten and hospitalized. However, another worrying thing came up.

One day, Zhang Yuan went to visit the big boss and Sister Rong and was told that they were going to go south. Before leaving, they asked Zhang Yuan's opinion and asked if he was willing to go with them. Zhang Yuan thanked them for their concern, but still chose to stay. The big boss saw that Zhang Yuan had made up his mind and told him to be careful and not to be too high-profile. In addition, there was one thing that made Zhang Yuan be careful. After they left, he was afraid that the Zhao family would deal with him. Before, because the big boss was supporting him, now that they were leaving, the Zhao family would not let Zhang Yuan go, so they wanted Zhang Yuan to be more careful.

As expected, one month after the big leader left, a series of work changes took place in various units in the city. First, Zhang Yuan’s old boss Li Tiezhu was transferred to the northwest, and Zhang Yuan also received a notice to be transferred to a guesthouse under the Public Security Bureau as director. His administrative level was still at the section level, but in everyone's eyes, Zhang Yuan was exiled.

There were only eighteen people in the guesthouse, including three chefs, six waiters, five doormen, one electrician, one accountant, one clerk, and one deputy director. Including Zhang Yuan, there were exactly eighteen people.

There is nothing busy in the guesthouse on weekdays. Apart from some official business or work reports, few people come to stay. It is almost a deserted place.

Zhang Yuan looked at this place and thought that if nothing unexpected happened, he would probably have to stay here for a long time.

Back in the courtyard, the atmosphere there was also different.

He Yushui revealed mysteriously that Li Huaide became the factory director, and Director Yang was not only dismissed but also punished to sweep the floor because he was exposed. At the same time, the factory also formed a worker picket team to supervise and manage the workers. This made the atmosphere in the entire factory tense.

However, what was even more surprising was that Guanmi Liu Haizhong somehow managed to become the team leader. As soon as he came back this afternoon, he couldn't wait to announce the good news to everyone, with a smug smile on his face.

Zhang Yuan asked He Yushui about her current situation with concern. She told him that she had also been transferred to the Labor Insurance Department and became a warehouse keeper. Although her position had changed, at least her salary had not decreased, which was a kind of comfort.

"Forget it. At least the salary isn't reduced." He Yushui knew that Zhang Yuan was in a difficult situation, so she comforted him instead.

"Yeah." Zhang Yuan nodded, showing his understanding and acceptance. Although he felt a little helpless, he also understood that it was not easy to keep a job in such an environment. He could only hope that better opportunities would appear in the future.

Later, Sha Zhu came back with an angry face and kept mumbling something. He looked very angry, as if he had encountered something that made him unhappy.

"Shazhu, what happened? Why are you so angry? Who provoked you?" Yan Bugui asked curiously.

Sha Zhu angrily replied: "Don't mention it! I don't know which wicked grandson actually ran to the factory to report me, causing me to lose my job as a chef!"

Yan Bugui took a breath in surprise and said, "Ah? This is too much! Who would do such a thing?"

Sha Zhu continued to complain: "Yeah, this wicked guy, I must find out who he is!"

Zhang Yuan frowned and thought: It seems that the current trend has really changed. A small problem may be magnified into a serious problem. Could it be that Sha Zhu was influenced by himself? Otherwise, how could the work of several people have problems in a row?

"Brother-in-law, have you ever thought about who might report you?" Zhang Yuan asked cautiously.

After a moment of contemplation, Sha Zhu said, "Humph, I'm investigating. If I find out which grandson is behind this, I will not let him off!"

"What are you going to do now?" Zhang Yuan asked hurriedly.

"Brother-in-law, for the time being I can only work in the factory cleaning team. It's better than having no income." But when he thought about his salary being reduced from 30 yuan to 14 yuan, Sha Zhu was filled with anger.

In the evening, Qin Jingru and the deaf old lady also came to Sha Zhu's house. They knew that Sha Zhu was in a bad mood because he was suspended from work recently, so they came to persuade him. Both of them said a lot of nice things, which made Sha Zhu feel much better.

However, it was not just Zhang Yuan and Sha Zhu who were affected. As time went on, other people in the courtyard also gradually had various problems. The first was Yan Bugui, whose work unit, the Red Star School, now only arranged for him to work half a day, and his salary was reduced accordingly. Next were students like Xiao Dang, who, in addition to attending classes in the morning, had to go to the suburbs to work in the afternoon.

Afterwards, the subdistrict office issued a notice requiring an investigation of the young people in each courtyard. Everyone speculated that a new round of educated youth going to the countryside might be launched. Sure enough, Qin Huairu's son Banggeng, Yan Bugui's second son Yan Jiefang, third son Yan Jiekuang, Liu Haizhong's Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu and other young people appeared on the list.

When Qin Huairu learned that Banggeng was also on the list, she was extremely anxious and immediately ran to the street office to plead for mercy, but in the face of the general trend, her efforts were in vain.

What can we do? The only way to help Banggeng avoid going to the countryside is to find a unit to accept him now. However, this is not so easy. Just like Yan Bugui's family, the two sons blamed Yan Bugui together. They still followed the old path of Yan Jiecheng. Because Yan Bugui was afraid of spending money, they couldn't find a job and had no money to give gifts. Yan Bugui also regretted it and sneaked to Gezi City. The job that used to pay four or five hundred yuan could no longer be found. Even if the salary was increased, there were no vacant positions because they were all bought by others. The Yan family quarreled every day, and the two sons blamed Yan Bugui together. Yan Bugui was really reluctant to spend money. Now, he couldn't find a job and his sons had to go to the countryside. What can we do?

On the other hand, there was no such thing in Liu Haizhong's family. Liu Haizhong and his wife had always favored their eldest son. Even if the eldest son left them, they still had hope for Liu Guangqi. As for the remaining two sons, Liu Haizhong was in no mood to care about them. He just gave them forty or fifty yuan and sent them away. Little did they know that it was Liu Haizhong's attitude that made Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu secretly make up their minds not to come back after arriving in the countryside.

At night, the breeze blew through the treetops in the yard, and the leaves rustled. People sat together, enjoying the coolness of the night. The topic gradually turned to the situation of their respective families. Everyone's face showed a heavy expression, especially those families whose children were about to go to the countryside, their hearts were full of worries and helplessness. They would rather time stay at this moment, so that the sun would not rise tomorrow, and time would be frozen here.

"Zhang Yuan, Sha Zhu, please help our Bang Geng find a job!" After Qin Huairu ran into obstacles everywhere, she finally came to Zhang Yuan and Sha Zhu, with despair and pleading in her eyes. In fact, the person she really wanted was Zhang Yuan, but she was afraid of being rejected directly, so she dragged Sha Zhu along.

Qin Huairu's action attracted the attention of the people around her. On the surface, everyone acted as if nothing had happened, but in fact, they pricked up their ears to listen to Zhang Yuan's movements, silently hoping that Zhang Yuan would agree to Qin Huairu's request. Because if Zhang Yuan agreed, they would be more justified when they went to Zhang Yuan for help, after all, someone had succeeded before.

Zhang Yuan frowned, secretly surprised at Qin Huairu's thick skin. Although the relationship between the two families was not harmonious and even a little tense, she still had the courage to come to ask for help. This made Zhang Yuan question her character. Her face was thicker than the city wall.
