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

"Chen Li, what are you still doing at home? Does Xiao Gang still want to eat meat?"

Chen Li showed an embarrassed expression on her face. She also wanted to borrow meat from someone else's house, but now that Chen Zhongming and Xiao Zhu were not there, even the old lady who was always hard of hearing turned a blind eye to her, let alone other people.

"Mom, everyone thinks our family is very rich and is unwilling to lend us money."

Liu Ye looked at Chen Li with a vigilant look: "That money is my retirement money, no one can touch it. If you dare to take that money, I will fight you to the death."

Chen Li was helpless. Everyone knew that Li Ming's family was rich, but no one cared what the money was used for. This made it much more difficult for her to borrow money. She recalled the scene a few days ago when she went to borrow cornmeal: when she ran to the door with a bowl in her hand, she was immediately rejected: "Chen Li, your family has millions of savings, and you still come to our house to borrow food. When are you going to pay back the cornmeal you borrowed from us last time?"

What else could Chen Li do? She couldn't just cry poor and promise to pay back the debt. So she never dared to borrow things from other people's homes again, fearing that they would come to collect the debt. In desperation, Chen Li placed her only hope on Xiao Zhu, who was the only one who could understand her difficulties and knew that she had no say in the family's financial decisions.

Liu Hua walked around the steel mill for several rounds and was almost scalped by the night shift workers, but he still did not find the wild boar.

Finally, he decided to ask for clarification. "Brother, I heard that the security department caught a wild boar?" A security guard responded impatiently: "What wild boar? That's what the canteen does. It has nothing to do with our security department. Liu Hua, if you wander around the factory, be careful that we will catch you if you run around again."

Liu Hua quickly smiled and said, "I heard that there was a wild boar in the factory, so I wanted to stay and help deal with it."

The guards knew Liu Hua's plan: if the wild boar was sent to the canteen, it would be the factory's property; and now everyone could get two pounds of meat, how delicious it would be to take home! Although they were on duty and couldn't go home to enjoy it, they were also happy.

Liu Hua ran back to the cafeteria and told Xiao Zhu what happened: "Master, who told your security department that there were wild boars? If they really had them, they would have sent them to our cafeteria long ago."

Xiao Zhu was very puzzled. Chen Li couldn't have lied to him. Why were there no wild boars in the security department?

After thinking for a long time, Xiao Zhu decided not to bother about it. He stood up and sorted out his things: "Forget it, if there is no need, then there is no need. Just consider it as overtime this time, and don't tell anyone about this."

Liu Hua nodded in agreement. He really didn't want to publicize such things.

The two of them left the cafeteria together and met a patrolling guard at the door. Xiao Zhu stepped forward and asked, "Didn't they say the factory caught a wild boar and asked me to work overtime? How come it's gone again? Isn't it obvious that they are making fun of me?"

Xiao Zhu wanted to find out the attitude of the security department. Chen Li said clearly that the wild boar was in the office area of ​​the security department. The people in the security department knew it very well, but their job responsibilities determined that they could not reveal any secrets. Besides, they had just accepted Wang Lei's benefits, so how could they betray Wang Lei.

"Come on, Xiao Zhu, go find whoever asked you to work overtime. We won't give it to you even if we have a wild boar. Everyone knows that Xiao Zhu is the best at flipping a spoon. He might have flipped half of a wild boar away."

Xiao Zhu chuckled: "Brother, stop joking. I'm just an honest chef. I won't do anything like flipping the wok. When have you ever seen me flip the wok for the security department?"

"Xiao Zhu, you better be quiet. If you really want to stir the pot for us, solve this problem first."

Xiao Zhu had long been accustomed to charging forward, and was not afraid of the guards' threats. However, Liu Hua was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, secretly fortunate that Wang Lei did not come to the cafeteria at noon today. Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Xiao Zhu glanced at Liu Hua, feeling quite dissatisfied: They were just from the security department, why were they so timid? He didn't think they could do anything to him.

Xiao Zhu took Liu Hua and walked straight out of the factory gate.

"You coward, don't tell anyone that I have

Lao Li waved his hand, shook off Lao Guo's outstretched arm, and said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "You know the reason why you can't get married, don't blame others. I came here to see Lao Wang to look at furniture, I don't want your lunch box."

Old Guo was a little confused. He himself didn't understand why he couldn't find a wife. Apart from knowing that Boss Xu had been trying to make things difficult for him, he knew nothing else.

In order to get married soon, Lao Guo had been fighting against Lao Li for a while. He raised the two lunch boxes in his hand and shook them in front of Lao Li: "Uncle San, it's not that I don't want to give you anything, it's that I really don't have anything."

Lao Li felt strange. Every time after working overtime at the steel mill, Lao Guo always went home with a bag full of food. Why did he come home empty-handed this time?

"Lao Guo, don't you usually cook for your boss? Why didn't you bring back any leftovers today? Did your boss eat them all?"

Lao Guo smiled awkwardly: "Uncle San, who said I cooked for the leader? I haven't had any social events in the past few days. By the way, Lao Wang, I heard that the security department caught a wild boar, why didn't they send it to the cafeteria?"

When Lao Li mentioned the wild boar, his eyes lit up, and even Lao Wang stared at it without letting go.

Lao Wang answered casually, "Who said that the wild boars caught by the security department must be sent to the cafeteria? Besides, with your level of skill at flipping the wok, Lao Guo, who would dare to put this wild boar meat on the table?"

Lao Guo was a little dissatisfied after hearing this. He forgot that he wanted to cook for Lao Wang at noon and complained, "What kind of person is this! When did I stir the pot for someone else? Tell me, is there a wild boar?"

Lao Wang continued to work and said coldly, "No comment."

Lao Guo turned to look at Lao Li: "Uncle San, what does he mean by that?"

Lao Li pretended to be knowledgeable: "He meant that there is nothing to tell you. Lao Guo, Liu Xiulian is still waiting for your lunch box, don't waste your time here."

After hearing this, Lao Guo felt very helpless and hopeless, and slowly walked towards the yard.

Lao Li looked at the furniture in Lao Wang's hand and praised him, "Lao Wang, I didn't expect you could do carpentry. How about making one for my house when you have time?"

Lao Wang raised his head but didn't say anything, just looked at Lao Li.

Lao Li didn't understand what he meant and asked, "Is it OK or not? Give me a definite answer."

Lao Wang knew that Lao Li wanted to take advantage of him, so he said bluntly: "Uncle San, I want to hear your specific plan. Where will the materials come from? How will the wages be calculated? You have to give me an explanation first."

Old Li showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. He originally thought he could get away with it, but was discovered by Old Wang. "I have a lot of wood here. You won't use it all anyway, so why not leave some for me to make some furniture? Besides, my Ah Cheng is getting married soon, so you have to show some appreciation."

Lao Wang chuckled. He didn't mind the materials, but why should he work for Lao Li for nothing? If Lao Li could give him a cigarette, Lao Wang would consider it. However, now that he had nothing, he wanted to take advantage of others. It was too unreasonable.

Seeing that Lao Wang ignored him, Lao Li had no choice but to watch Lao Wang's work with envy.

At this time, Lao Guo stood quietly at the gate of the yard and found Liu Xiulian looking at him by the pool. He couldn't help but feel nervous and wanted to turn around and run away.

But how could Liu Xiulian let him go? "Old Guo, why didn't you come to see me when you came back?"

Lao Guo knew he couldn't avoid him, so he had to approach slowly. When Liu Xiulian saw the lunch box in his hand, her eyes lit up.

She put down the clothes in her hands, rubbed them on her own clothes, and walked up to Lao Guo: "Lao Guo, I know you have a good heart. You always think of your sister when you have any good things."

Liu Xiulian went straight to get the lunch box, and before Lao Guo could react, the lunch box was already in her hands.

The empty lunch box made Liu Xiulian feel lost and tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.

"Old Guo, I really didn't expect you to be such a person. If you don't want to give us pork, just say so directly. Why do you have to hide from me? Although I, Liu Xiulian, am just a woman, I also have some backbone. If you don't want to give it to me, I am not willing to accept it."

When Lao Guo saw Liu Xiulian crying, he had forgotten all the excuses he had prepared and seemed at a loss.

"Big sister, it's not that I don't want to give it to you. The security department doesn't have any wild boars at all, and the cafeteria hasn't even slaughtered pigs. How can I get pork for you?"

After hearing this, Liu Xiulian looked at Lao Guo with suspicion. Although she trusted Lao Guo, she also clearly saw the 400-pound wild boar captured by the Security Department.

"Lao Guo, I was wrong. I shouldn't have wrongly accused you." She didn't bother to find out where the wild boar had gone. She walked to Lao Guo and leaned against him and acted coquettishly.

Lao Guo didn't want to

"Aunt Qing, which family is unwilling to lend you something and actually comes to you to ask for it back? I wonder how difficult your family's situation is! Don't say anything for now, I'll go find that person to settle the score. Could it be him - Xu Dafa?"

Xu Dafa, who was busy showing a movie in the countryside, suddenly yawned. The old village chief saw him and came over to ask.

"Projectionist Xu, what's going on? Do you have a cold?"

Xu Dafa smiled and said, "I'm a little tired after these few trips. I'll be fine after dinner."

The village chief also smiled and said, "Don't worry, our village has prepared a table of sumptuous food and wine. I will definitely drink a few glasses with you later."

At this time, Qin Meier, who was far away in the courtyard, prayed silently in her heart, "If the person who came was Xu Dafa, then I wouldn't have to worry so much." Seeing that many residents around were busy cooking meat, Qin Meier didn't dare to go out casually. After all, since Old Wang Kun made a scene, the courtyard was no longer under the control of the Yi family.

"Old Silly Zhu, forget it. I know everyone is dissatisfied with our family, but I am a lonely widow, what can I do..."

Facing such helplessness, Lao Shazhu was also helpless. After all, the Jia family was rich and wanted everyone to donate money, so anyone would go to jail. He felt unhappy when he thought about knowing that Qin Meir's family had a lot of property, not to mention that the money was now gone. He really couldn't force Qin Meir to repay the debt.

Mrs. Zhang, who was watching all this from the side, saw that Qin Mei'er had not returned with her lunch box in her hand, and she immediately yelled angrily:

"Qin Mei'er, where on earth did you go?!"
