Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

"Hey, who are you? Have you come to the wrong place?" Another man stopped Wang Jun. He looked more mature, carrying two heavy lunch boxes in his hands, and the aroma of rice filled his nose. He was obviously a chef.

Since the two quarreled at the gate of the courtyard, they might be neighbors in the future. For the sake of peace, Wang Jun did not want to lose his temper with them because of other people.

"I'm Wang Jun. I just moved here today and live in the front yard."

"That room doesn't belong to Qin Huiru's family. Didn't the street office allocate one to their family?"

They must be neighbors in the same courtyard. It is impossible for outsiders to know the specific situation in the courtyard.

"I'm He Shuzhu, I live in the middle yard, and this is Xu Damao, I live in the back yard."

Hearing someone mention him, Xu Damao woke up a little and pointed at Wang Jun and said:

"Lao Shu (Silly Zhu), I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of you. I have a good relationship with the leader. If you dare to offend me, don't blame me for complaining to the leader!"

He Shuzhu smiled awkwardly.

"They all call me Lao Shu (Silly Pillar). He is drunk, don't bother with him."

Wang Jun could tell that although the two were from the same courtyard, they didn't have a good relationship. Xu Damao was drunk and staggering, his body was covered in dust, and He Shuzhu didn't come forward to help him. On the contrary, there were one or two footprints on Xu Damao's body, and it was unknown whether they were kicked by He Shuzhu.

"It's okay, go back and rest."

As smart as Qin Huaiyao was, she could naturally see through the deep meaning of Yan Bugui's words, but she didn't care. Which man doesn't make mistakes? An energetic young man like Wang Kun is destined to be the pillar of the family in the future.

If there weren't so many people on the street during the day and Director Li from the Street Office was present, she would have had more room to play. Now, she doesn't mind taking a step back and giving up her own house.

He Yulin did not understand the meaning behind these words, so he turned his gaze to Qin Huaiyao and asked:

"Sister Qin, what exactly does Master Yan mean?"

Qin Huaiyao chuckled, and her charming eyes made He Yulin lose his mind for a moment. She took the lunch box from his hand and said gently:

"Don't worry, that's Master Yan trying to scare you. Don't you know him?"

He Yulin thought about it and felt that it made sense. Today, he had indeed disturbed his wishful thinking. He might hate him in his heart. But, so what? He Yulin would not back down because of this.

At this time, Wang Kun saw this scene from the window, and secretly felt lucky that he didn't mention borrowing the pot from He Yulin's house. If he really used it, he didn't know how much trouble it would cause.

Siheyuan is indeed "advanced", everything seems incredible. He turned his head to look at Xu Daqing lying on the ground, and originally wanted to remind him a few words, but changed his mind and gave up. This guy had previously threatened to go to the door to complain, and he was probably not a good person. Since he didn't understand the situation, Wang Kun didn't want to get involved in this dispute, so he just let him lie there. His family would naturally come to look for him when they found that he was missing.

Director Li left the courtyard with a lot of anger. It was such a shame that such a big mess happened in the advanced courtyard in the area. If the news got to the ears of the higher-ups, everyone in their street office would be in trouble.

Aunt Zhao was sorting out documents. Seeing Director Li’s angry face, she couldn’t help but ask, “Director Li, what’s wrong with you?”

Director Li took out a crumpled one hundred-yuan bill and slammed it on the table, causing the water in the cup to splash out.

"Do you remember what happened to the three old men in Courtyard No. 45?"

Aunt Zhao recalled: "That was in the 1950s. The deaf old lady brought the three of them here, saying that she was worried about the troubles in our street and asked Yi Zhongtian to take care of her in her old age. She also said that the courtyard chose the three of them to be responsible for mediating neighborhood disputes. Over the years, they have indeed performed well and have been the first to enter the courtyard every year."

"The so-called 'advanced' is really 'advanced'. If Xiao Wang hadn't made such a scene today, I really wouldn't have known that they were so bold as to divide up the government-owned houses among themselves."

Aunt Zhao also found it incredible after hearing this. "What on earth is going on?"

Director Li recounted everything that happened today in detail, and then slammed the table at the end.

"You are deceiving your superiors and subordinates. I have already stated in Siheyuan that the position of manager is not granted by our street office. If you have any business in the future, don't go to Yi Zhongtian and the other three. Siheyuan should handle it in the same way as other courtyards."

Aunt Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "What Xiao Wang said does make some sense. There are so many people in the courtyard, but there are only three managers, each of whom is in charge of several households. It is indeed too easy to conceal the truth. I have never worked in the street, but I can actually see these drawbacks."

"Not to mention Xiao Wang, even the little girl Lin Xue knows about it. She said that there is only one village chief among hundreds of people in the village. How can Siheyuan have so many chiefs?"

Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "This girl is really smart. She will definitely be able to do our jobs in the future. By the way, speaking of Xiao Wang, you said that the Zhang family moved to the steel mill. Is there something strange behind this? After all, the conditions in the steel mill are much better than those in the machine repair factory. Logically, the Zhang family should have no difficulties. Why did they suddenly apply to be transferred there?"

Director Li narrowed his eyes, and indeed felt that this matter was strange. Old Zhang had worked in the steel mill for many years, and his position was not low. Why did he suddenly decide to transfer? Thinking of the fact that the Jia family moved into the Zhang family's house very quickly, there seemed to be some hidden story.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. From now on, we must be more cautious about the affairs of Courtyard No. 45 and stop listening to the words of Yi Zhongtian and the other two."

When I got home in the evening, Lin Xue was leaning on the bed reading a book that Wang Kun bought for her. The little girl didn't know many words, but she treasured the book very much.

"Brother, you're back. Xue'er has already made the bed."

Wang Kun rubbed Lin Xue's little head and said, "You wait for your brother at home. I'll go to someone else's house and use the pot. I'll come back and make you something delicious."

The original plan was to borrow the pot from Yan Bugui's house, but after what happened today, he decided to forget it. In addition to Yan Bugui, he thought of Tian Youfu's family, and he didn't have a bad impression of this family.

Wang Kun's family was happily eating when there was a knock on the door. Qin Huailin knocked hard a few times and heard a busy sound from inside the door, but no one came to open the door. Qin Huailin wondered what this family was doing. Could it be that someone in the courtyard dared to refuse him entry?

"Xiao Kun, I have something urgent to do. Can you please open the door?"

A steady voice came from behind the door: "I'm here, just tell me what you need."

Wang Kun did not plan to open the door. It was not safe to have a widow with bad intentions standing in front of the door in the middle of the night. Moreover, he and Xiaoxue were still having dinner, and they could not let outsiders disturb their lives.

Hearing Qin Huailin's relentless shouting, Wang Kun felt disgusted: "Sister, we really don't have anything extra, please go back and don't delay our family's dinner."

Qin Huailin heard Wang Kun's attitude and said unwillingly, "Xiao Kun, the meat you cook is so delicious. My child keeps making noises when he smells the aroma. Can you lend me some meat? We will return it to you soon."

Xiaoxue's vigilant voice came from the room. She looked at the door nervously, fearing that Qin Huailin would succeed. Wang Kun patted Xiaoxue's head gently and comforted her, "Just keep eating, don't be afraid."

That's enough. Not only are there leftovers in the lunch box, but they are also targeting my house? Qin Huailin's family looks fat, and obviously they have no shortage of food. If she says there is less meat, I guess only her ignorant husband would believe it.

"You can go back. We really don't have any extra things." Wang Kun said coldly and continued to eat with his head down.

No matter how Qin Huailin knocked on the door and begged, Wang Kun remained unmoved. Finally, Qin Huailin left in disgrace, still mumbling something.

---

At the same time, laughter came from Yan Baogui's house. Mrs. Yan asked, "Old man Yan, what are you laughing at?"

Yan Baogui laughed and said, "I'm laughing at Qin Huailin for trying to take advantage but failing, and for worrying that Sha Zhu would come out and take advantage of her."

"Will Sha Zhu beat people up like he did before?" Mrs. Yan thought of what happened in the past. Whenever someone didn't lend something to Qin Huailin's family, Sha Zhu would always step forward to teach them a lesson.

"Do you think Qin Huailin's family will let Wang Kun go easily after suffering so much loss?" Yan Baogui asked back with a gloating look.

“Brother and sister Wang Kun are indeed pitiful. They have offended Qin Huailin’s family as soon as they arrived here. It seems that they are going to suffer.”

Yan Baogui also felt that something was not right: "If Sha Zhu comes out to help, he might hit a wall. Didn't you see the scar on the corner of Wang Kun's eye? He is a soldier. Director Wang is so kind to him. He must not be an ordinary person. Maybe he has participated in battles. Although Sha Zhu can fight, I'm afraid he is no match for the soldier."

Mrs. Yan also noticed the scar, which was indeed a bit creepy. She secretly guessed that maybe Wang Kun was not so easy to bully.

Qin Huailin failed to achieve his goal and had to return to the central courtyard with a sad face. However, he did not go home directly. Instead, he turned to the door of Sha Zhu's house and happened to meet Sha Zhu who was going out.

"Sister Qin, what's wrong with you? Have you been bullied again?" Sha Zhu asked with concern.

Qin Huailin burst into tears immediately, threw herself into Sha Zhu's arms, and cried, "Zhu Zi, my fate is so miserable. Seeing that our family was having a hard time, the old man gave us the Zhang family's house. But the street office gave the house to Wang Kun. My mother-in-law didn't understand the situation, so she had a conflict with him. I wanted to ease the relationship and invited him to dinner, but it didn't work. Now he refuses to give me meat. Do you think it's easy for me as a widow?"

In order to lure Sha Zhu into the trap, Qin Huailin deliberately leaned on him, rubbing him until he felt a little dizzy. "Just now I wanted to apologize to him and borrow some meat, but he didn't show any mercy and even mocked me. Please help me teach him a lesson so that I can save my life."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he was furious and grabbed her hand: "Okay, I'll go and teach him a lesson! How dare he bully my sister Qin."

Qin Huailin smiled slightly, watching Sha Zhu's hurriedly leaving back, feeling secretly proud in her heart. I told you not to listen to your sister, now you are waiting for bad luck!
