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

"Shi Tou, you have to help me." Chang'e's eyes were full of helplessness.

Shashi was confused, knowing that Chang'e came to him to borrow money. But he had just lent her all the money he had a few days ago.

Facing Chang'e, Shashi was filled with self-blame. Chang'e did not wait for his answer, thinking that he was unwilling to help, and could not help but scold him a few times as a "coward".

Although she was angry, Chang'e knew that without Shashi, the meeting would not go smoothly. She glanced at Shashi and leaned on him helplessly. "If you don't help me, who will?"

Sha Shi enjoyed the tenderness of that moment and said helplessly, "Sister Chang, I really want to help you, but I really have no money."

What bad luck! If I had known you were thinking this, I would not have let you take advantage of me.

Chang'e slightly moved away from Shashi, and said with tears in her eyes: "You misunderstood me. Before Xiaoqiang came, my family never lost money. After he came, we were robbed repeatedly."

Upon hearing this, Shashi's eyes widened, "Sister Chang, do you mean that Xiaoqiang stole your family's money? This man is absolutely heartless! I'm going to settle the score with him!"

Although she was sure that Xiaoqiang was the thief, Chang'e still refused to admit it easily, fearing that if she guessed wrong, her image would be damaged in front of Shashi. She held Shashi's hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, I didn't say he was the one who stole the money."

Shashi stopped and rubbed the back of his head, "So what do you mean?"

Seeing Shashi's confused face, Chang'e felt that she had overdone it and should be more restrained. She couldn't appear too strong in front of him, so she decided to let someone else take the blame.

"It's nothing. Our courtyard has always been managed by three big guys. They will definitely support us. I'm just worried that after one of the big guys catches Xiaoqiang, he might do something desperate."

Hearing this, Sha Shi hated Xiao Qiang even more. He patted his chest and promised not to let him escape.

"I was caught off guard last night and my body has been in pain ever since, so I was unable to fight back. Now I have recovered and am ready, and I will definitely take care of him." The mute said this in a firm and powerful voice.

Although Xiaoqiang was taller than Shashi, he was not as strong as him. Chang'e didn't want to believe that Shashi would be defeated by Xiaoqiang, nor did she want to see this happen. She immediately believed Shashi's words.

After this matter was resolved, Chang'e took Shashi to the venue. Soon, Yi Zhonghai and his three brothers also entered the venue.

This was Xiaoqiang's first formal meeting at the Siheyuan. The previous ad hoc meeting was not considered formal.

Although the venue was simple, it had all the basic facilities. There was a table in front of the three bosses, with a chair next to each, which was obviously the main seat. Below the main seat were two low tables, with the Liu family and the Yan family sitting on both sides. Opposite the old woman was a stone slab, with Chang'e's family and Shashi sitting next to her, which was obviously the VIP seat.

The Liu family and the Yan family were close together, apparently to support each other in dealing with Yi Zhonghai. The others were scattered around, looking much more casual. The Tian family and two or three other families sat very close together. Xiaoqiang noticed that they seemed to be talking quietly, looking at him from time to time with a faint smile.

The various small groups at the venue often talked in low voices with their heads tilted aside, without much interaction between them.

Although the courtyard is not big, with only about a hundred people in total, it is extremely complex and is divided into six or seven small circles.

While observing others, Xiaoqiang was also being observed by others. Except for the Tian family who smiled at him, most people had calm expressions and an attitude that it was none of their business. The children of the Liu and Yan families were friendly to him, and the old man Liu was even more complacent. Yi Zhonghai and his followers were full of hostility, especially Xiaohua and Shashi. Chang'e's attitude was intriguing, and her eyes were more greedy. The only surprising thing was the old woman's indifference, without any expression.

After the observation, Xiaoqiang felt that an important character was missing. He remembered Chang'e's friends he saw a few days ago, but he saw neither Chang'e's friends nor Boss Xu at the venue.

The three of them looked at each other, and the second boss, Old Man Liu, knocked on the table, and everyone immediately quieted down.

"Is everyone here?" Liu Guangtian stood up quickly. "Xu Damao has gone to the countryside to show movies, and his wife Changjie has returned to her parents' home. The rest of the people are all here."

The three big guys confirmed the number of people, looked at the audience, and their eyes stayed on Xiaoqiang for a moment before they retracted them.

Just as Old Man Liu was about to speak, Yi Zhonghai knocked on the table and stood up. Old Man Liu was stunned at first, then became angry. Obviously, being interrupted made people angry.

"Before the meeting begins, I would like to introduce a new person - Xiaoqiang, the new resident of the courtyard. You stand in front and greet everyone.

Zhang Kun saw that Liu Laoer was the second uncle, but in this case, Liu Laoer's opinion did not seem so important and did not need to be taken too seriously. What he really needed to pay attention to was A Yu's remarks.

In fact, Zhang Kun did not want to cause trouble, but this group of people was really bullying him too much. He carefully avoided the crowd and approached A Yu quietly.

"What did you just say?" Zhang Kun whispered.

"I said you are a thief who stole Xiao Li's family's money..." Before A Yu could finish his words, Zhang Kun kicked him hard, and A Yu fell headfirst to the ground.

Ah Yu was sitting with an old lady. This was the VIP area, a distance away from the general area. The people around him had already dodged to the side and were not affected. But Xiao Li happened to be sitting very close to him, and the two fell together, naturally sticking close to each other.

"What right do you have to hit people?" Boss Yi stood on a high place and yelled at Zhang Kun.

Zhang Kun ignored him and turned to Ah Yu who was lying on the ground: "You shouldn't talk nonsense about the theft of Xiao Li's money without evidence. If you have evidence, go to the police station to report it. If you don't have evidence, and you still come to slander me, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying this, Zhang Kun ignored A Yu and Boss Yi and went straight back to his seat. Along the way, people automatically made way for him.

Ah Yu did not move immediately, nor did he shout. Instead, he lay on the ground and seemed quite comfortable. Why? Because Xiao Li was pressed against him, and the two of them fell together. His hands naturally wrapped around Xiao Li's waist. How could he not feel comfortable with such a warm and soft feeling in his arms?

This action also exposed the attractive part of Xiao Li's waist, which caused many people to swallow saliva. Even Boss Yi couldn't help swallowing his saliva. When Zhang Kun saw her move, she quickly hid to the side. After Zhang Kun returned to his original position and away from the crowd, she turned to the direction of A Yu.

"Ayu, you scoundrel, Xiao Li, you are really something, hurry up and get up!" Zhang Xiaoli scolded. Her words attracted everyone's attention.

Xiao Li struggled to get up, but for some reason, she couldn't stand up at first. The old lady hurried over to help her up, and then helped her stand up. At this time, A Yu felt the pain and covered his stomach and vomited.

Boss Yi glared at A Yu and angrily questioned Zhang Kun: "You are simply lawless. Who allowed you to hit someone? Come on, arrest him and send him to the police station!"

However, Boss Yi's words did not receive any response, and people retreated instead. Even Tian Fugui and others quietly left.

"Boss Yi, you don't have the power to arrest people. That is the power only the police have. If you are not satisfied, you can call the police and report it to Xiao Li's family at the same time. Her family lost so much money but you didn't call the police. Don't you really care? Her family is really rich." Zhang Kun's words made many people present look at him strangely, including Yan Fuguo, who adjusted his sitting position with an awkward expression.

Xiao Li didn't dare to say anything more and immediately started crying: "Who said whether we care or not? Please make the decision, sirs. Is there a problem?"

Boss Yi and Second Liu shouted almost at the same time: "Don't call the police!"

The two looked at each other, and both wanted to speak before the other. But in the end, Liu Lao Er was a beat slower, and Yi Lao Da spoke first: "Our Siheyuan has won the title of civilized for many years. If we call the police, it will affect this honor. Disputes in Siheyuan have always been resolved by the three of us, and this time is no exception."

Have you forgotten that after you secretly received a house from the state and were discovered by Director Wang, your advanced title this year was already stripped from you?

But Zhang Kun looked around and found that no one noticed this. He thought: What a weird courtyard. So much property was stolen but they still didn't want to call the police, just wanting the three uncles to do justice. Could it be that the three of them can really make money? Maybe they want to push the stolen money onto me?

Zhang Kun shook his head and sighed secretly: Do you really think I can cover the sky with one hand? As for whether Xiao Li's family suffered losses, I don't know, but the Yi family should never do that. He made up his mind: I will not return the money, and I will find a chance to send the money to my comrades tomorrow. Some families in the countryside are very poor.

As for Liu Lao Er, seeing that he doesn't care about the loss of the money just like Yi Lao Da, he probably also tacitly accepts this matter as "taken". It won't be too much to go and take some money tonight.

As for Xiao Li, judging from the ambiguous look between her and A Yu, their relationship must be unusual. A Yu immediately accused her of stealing money, and this matter was probably fueled by her.

This money should also belong to me.

Zhang Kun swore to himself in his heart: I really want to be a good person, but the people I meet are all bad people, what should I do?

When Zhao Xiaofang heard about her sick mother, she started mumbling, and it sounded like she was scolding Sun Dahai.

"They are the poorest family in our yard. We are all family members. We need to take care of each other and not be selfish..." Sun Dahai said, but he became less and less confident as he mentioned the poor situation of the Lin family. As soon as he mentioned this, the uncles and aunts in the yard began to talk about it.

In this era, saving more than 2,600 yuan is still considered tight? Who would believe it, especially those so-called "highly respected" old men? No one would believe their words.

When Lin Yu heard what Sun Dahai said, she lowered her head and tears kept falling. At this moment, Sun Dahai realized that he had said something wrong, but the words had already been spoken and could not be taken back.
