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

Zhuzi snorted coldly, "You mean management? I think Aqiang is not bad. You have a typical bureaucratic style. You want to intervene in everything, as if you are wearing a tight hoop."

"Which sect do you belong to, Yugong?"

"I don't take sides with either faction. I support those who make sense."

"Humph, if you have the guts, go and tell Old Yi in person."

Zhuzi frowned, "I'm not stupid. If you say this to my face, you won't have peace for a month."

"What the hell is this! Zhuzi, you got up so early. I went to your house to look for you, but you came here to chat with Master San."

"Ah Hong, from now on, call me Lao Ma, not San Ye."

Ah Hong thought, I've long been accustomed to this kind of address. Yi Ye cares, I care, if I change my words, Yi Ye will be unhappy. Besides, it's good for our family, we are like one family, and it's hard for you to refuse me if I lend you something, right?

"It's been decades since I've called you that. I can't change it. Third Master, do you think it's okay?"

Lao Ma smiled and said, "Okay, you can call me whatever you want."

A Qiang put the wooden box away and prepared to go to Lao Tian's house to call Xueer to school.

"Xue'er, it's time to go to school."

Aunt Tian walked out holding Xue'er and Doudou's hands, "Aqiang, I'll trouble you to take the children to school again."

"Auntie, don't be so polite. I need your help with something."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"I just made a wooden box and put it on my tricycle. I'll get some cloth and ask Auntie to help sew it so that Xue'er can sit on it more comfortably."

"It's just a small matter, easy to do. Bring the cloth here, and I'll help you make it tonight. Xue'er, look how careful your brother is. You must listen to him in the future."

Xue'er let go of Aunt Tian's hand, ran to Aqiang and said with a smile: "I have always been very obedient."

Aqiang touched Xueer's head and said, "Then I'll take them to school."

Xueer took Aqiang's hand away, "It will mess up your hair."

"You conceited little girl. Go back and get your schoolbag."

Xueer pulled Doudou back home to get her schoolbag, and Xiaowei followed behind Aqiang with her schoolbag.

Watching Xueer take out her schoolbag, Aqiang locked the door, pushed the tricycle and prepared to go out.

Seeing this, Ah Hong came over and said, "Ah Qiang, are you going to work? Let's go together!"

A Qiang looked back at Ah Hong, feeling quite unhappy. There is a conflict between the two families, how can you say such a thing? Besides, we are not related, and going to get off work together will cause gossip.

"No, I still have to take Xue'er to school."

"It's okay. I'm just taking Zhuang to school. Wait a moment. I'll go get Zhuang."

Ah Hong turned around and prepared to go home, and Zhuzi was stunned. Didn't she say she wanted to be with me? Why did she change her mind so suddenly?

"Ah Hong, A Zhuang always goes to school by himself, why does he need you to take him there today?"

Ah Hong cursed in her heart, "If I didn't use Ah Zhuang as an excuse, how could I ride Ah Qiang's tricycle? Zhuzi, I have to go to school for a meeting today, so you should go first!"

Seeing Ah Hong's back, Zhuzi's face looked unhappy. "Just now you said you wanted to go together, but you changed your mind in the blink of an eye. What's going on?"

A Qiang pushed the tricycle out the door, and the three children sat

Chen Fugui glanced at Li Han and sneered, "Are you really stupid, or are you just pretending to be stupid? I am an old man, and I can't afford to lose face with a young widow. Let go quickly and don't get in my way. If you think Zhang Meili is too tired to walk, then go buy a bicycle and take her out yourself."

After saying that, Chen Fugui quickly jumped on his bicycle and left. What if such a precious bicycle breaks down with someone on it? Besides, it is not only tiring to carry someone to and from get off work, but also requires eating more meals, which is not cost-effective.

Li Han scratched his head and said, "Hey, do you think I don't want it? If I hadn't helped Sister Zhang spend money, I would have bought a car a long time ago."

Zhang Meili hurriedly dragged her son Xiaobang to the school gate, but when she didn't see Zhao Gang and his bicycle, her face darkened. "Li Han, where's Zhao Gang? Didn't you say you would wait for me?"

Li Han said "hmm" and replied: "Sister Zhang, Zhao Gang has no sympathy at all. Do you think he will take you with him? He also said that a good young man should marry a wife and cannot take a widow with him. Who would marry such a man? Sister Zhang, don't you think so?"

Anger flashed across Zhang Meili's face. She didn't want to be a widow. Why blame her? "Li Han, you are right. Don't pay attention to Zhao Gang anymore. You need to learn more from the masters. If you don't understand something, go ask the masters."

When Xiaobang saw that there was no car, he immediately started to make a scene. "Mom, didn't you say that I could go to school by car? Where's the car? I don't want to go to school anymore!"

Zhang Meili glared and yelled, "How dare you!"

Xiao Bang was so aggrieved that he almost cried, "You are the one who lied to me, why are you scolding me!"

Li Han held Xiao Bang and comforted him, "Xiao Bang, don't blame your mother. If Zhao Gang doesn't want to take you, we won't take his car."

"Li Han, please buy a car and take me to school."

Li Han thought, buy a bicycle? If we can afford it, our family will have to eat steamed bread for at least half a year.

Zhang Meili was shocked and really wanted to slap Xiaobang. She was already short of money, and she couldn't stand his nonsense any more. "Xiaobang, stop it! How can you ask Li Han to buy a car? Li Han, don't listen to him. You need to save money to get married, and walking is a good way to exercise."

Hearing this, Li Han smiled and stopped talking about buying a car. "Sister Zhang, let's go to work together. I also want to go find Director Yang and rescue the old man."

Xiao Bang snorted and turned to leave, but Zhang Meili grabbed him. "Where are you going?"

"If I don't have a car, I won't go to school. I want to go home. I haven't eaten yet!"

Zhang Meili looked at Xiao Bang with a troubled look on her face. "Li Han, help me think of a solution. Zhao Gang originally agreed to it, and you saw it too."

Li Han curled his lips: "Sister Zhang, he didn't agree to you, can you blame me?"

Zhang Meili was not happy and looked at Li Han with a charming look. "Li Han, you have to help. If Zhao Gang doesn't want to, are you just going to stand by and watch? Don't say that I have helped you so much, doing your laundry and cooking for you."

Li Han's bones softened after being looked at by this, and he quickly begged for mercy: "Sister Zhang, don't be angry, it's all my fault. I tried to stop him, but Zhao Gang wanted to fight me. I still have to save my uncle, so I can't fight him."

Zhang Meili cursed Li Han in her heart for being useless. She just came back when Zhao Gang beat him up. "Then find me a solution."

Li Han scratched his head and said, "Uncle Zhang rode away on his bike. He wouldn't agree even if he was at home. Liu Damao, who shows movies in the village, hasn't come back yet. Uncle Zhao is the only one who has a bike here, but he definitely won't take you. Sister Zhang, I'll try to buy a bike ticket."

"No, Li Han, listen to me. Don't spend money carelessly even if you have it. If you have money, please help our family more. All the money I have worked hard to save for many years is lost. I will depend on you in the future." In order to make Li Han give up buying a car, Zhang Meili let go of the stick, picked up the steamed bun and rubbed it on Li Han's arm.

Li Han's mind became confused for a moment and he forgot that most of the money was actually his.

At the same time, Zhao Gang was entangled by Chen Fugui and couldn't get rid of him.

"Gang, where did you drink last night?"

Zhao Gang glanced at Chen Fugui and said calmly, "Yes, I just moved here, so I have to treat my good friends."

Chen Fugui understood that he was not among Zhao Gang’s friends, so he would naturally not be invited.

"You know the rules of our courtyard. You must invite the three of us uncles when you have a dinner party. But... we were sent to the police station because of your incident, and we even got a lot of compensation. Our relationship is pretty strained."

Last night, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong reported him again.

In this situation, Chen Fugui didn't know how to continue.

"Anyway, Gang, I know you have a straightforward temper. In our courtyard, it's easy to suffer losses.

Li Yong reluctantly led Ling'er and Maodou to Teacher Zhang. The two girls greeted loudly: "Hello, Teacher Zhang!"

Teacher Zhang turned around and looked at Li Yong, smiling and said, "Are you here to send Ling'er off? Just leave the child to me."

Li Yong looked at Ling'er and said to Teacher Zhang with a smile, "Thank you for your help. I have to go to the factory to work at noon, so I can't cook for Ling'er. I prepared some food for her. Please help look after her, Teacher Zhang."

Teacher Zhang took the lunch box from Li Yong and said gently, "Don't worry, I will take good care of her."

"Thank you so much, Teacher Zhang. I have to go to work, so I'll leave first." Li Yong told Ling'er, "Ling'er, listen to the teacher."

"I know, brother. Come pick me up earlier." Ling'er responded obediently.

Li Yong waved to Ling'er, got on his tricycle and left the campus. Teacher Xiaolin, a beautiful colleague of Teacher Zhang, came over and asked in a low voice: "Teacher Zhang, what's the matter with the scar on that person's face?"

Teacher Zhang looked at Ling'er who was playing with Maodou and said softly, "Teacher Xiaolin, those are the marks of retired soldiers, left on the battlefield. As teachers, we should not be prejudiced."

Teacher Xiaolin blushed and apologized in a low voice: "Teacher Zhang, thank you for reminding me. I will pay attention next time."

Teacher Zhang smiled and continued, "It's inevitable that you will be careless when you first arrive. Just be more careful in the future."

At this time, Li Yong didn't know what happened on campus. He just rode his tricycle towards the steel mill. When he arrived at the factory, he met his friend Qi Qiangjian from last night. The night shift had not yet ended.

Li Yong took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag, opened them and distributed them to everyone, saying with a smile, "Thanks for your help last night."

Qi Qiangjian stood nearby and whispered, "Team Leader, you're too polite. We are all colleagues, how can we let others bully us? I have just mentioned what happened last night to Director Cao."

Li Yong smiled, thinking that Director Yang should also know the news. He handed the remaining half pack of cigarettes to Qi Qiangjian and said, "Thank you. I met Sha Zhu when I went out this morning. He said he wanted to ask Director Yang for mercy."

Qi Qiangjian said in surprise: "Shazhu hasn't come today? Will he come after 10 o'clock? By then, Director Yang's punishment will have been handed down."

"It shouldn't be that serious. He was still talking to Qin Huairu when I left. I won't say any more. I'm going to report. We can drink together when we have a chance."
