Siheyuan: Days of bird abuse in Siheyuan

Chapter 12 Yi Zhonghai's strategy: retreat to advance

"Although I had good intentions, for the sake of unity in our courtyard, and wanted to cultivate a tradition of respecting the elderly in our courtyard! But no matter how you look at this matter, I meant well but ended up doing something bad. I was confused for a moment and actually punished Hou Weimin so unfairly. As the eldest uncle in the courtyard, I feel really guilty! Here, I apologize to Hou Weimin and everyone else! So I admit my mistake and accept the punishment. I'll go home and get the fifty yuan later, give it to Weimin, and then apologize."

Yi Zhonghai stood in front of Hou Weimin's door and shouted loudly to the people in the courtyard who had not left yet.

The tone is sincere and the expression is genuine.

Then he said with great sorrow:

"I have made such a big mistake that I am no longer ashamed to be the head of the courtyard, but I don't have anyone suitable to recommend at the moment. So, while everyone in the courtyard is here, you can vote on who is suitable to be the head of the courtyard, and I will step down and let someone else take over!"

Suddenly!

Hearing this, the pupils in his bangs contracted.

First there was shock, then there was deep surprise.

This Yi Zhonghai actually took the initiative to abdicate and let others take over!

Fortunately, he was still thinking about whether he should go to the street office to report Yi Zhonghai's treatment of Hou Weimin!

Now there is no need to watch~

If Yi Zhonghai steps down from his position as the boss, who else but me will take this position?

Excited heart, trembling hands.

At this moment, not only his hands but even his legs were shaking in his bangs.

"Uncle, this is not possible. In this courtyard, apart from you, who else has this prestige?"

As soon as Qin Huairu heard Yi Zhonghai's words, she immediately became anxious.

Relying on Yi Zhonghai's status as a great uncle, the Jia family gained a lot of benefits.

Without saying anything in secret, Mingli Yi Zhonghai once held several courtyard meetings to mobilize everyone to donate money to the Jia family.

If Yi Zhonghai stops being the boss, it will be a huge loss to the Jia family!

"Yes! Uncle, not to mention that Hou Weimin himself doesn't respect the elderly, you did this for the sake of our courtyard's unity. You did this with good intentions but ended up doing something bad! And we all know what kind of person you are. Who in our courtyard has suffered a disaster without your kindness? Just like Qin Huairu said, besides you, who else in our courtyard has this prestige? Let me make it clear first. In this courtyard, I only recognize you as the uncle, and I don't recognize anyone else!"

Following Qin Huairu, He Yuzhu also spoke immediately, and glared at Liu Haizhong not far away with a meaningful look.

Ah!

really.

Hou Weimin, who was processing fish in the kitchen, sneered in his heart.

From the moment Yi Zhonghai proposed to resign from his position as the uncle, Hou Weimin knew that the other party was retreating in order to advance.

And with Yi Zhonghai's cunningness, he had long anticipated that after he said this, Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu would naturally try to keep him.

And then, Yi Zhonghai will take advantage of the situation, pretend to be hesitant, and continue to stay in the position of the boss.

As for He Yuzhu's statement that Yi Zhonghai would help any family in need, Hou Weimin scoffed at it. Apart from the Jia family, everyone else in the courtyard was living in poverty and could not survive. All Yi Zhonghai did was to buy more than ten kilograms of corn flour and send it to them with great fanfare.

But he is an eighth-level fitter at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, with a monthly salary of 99 yuan, plus subsidies, his income is over yuan.

In this era when most urban families only have five yuan a month for living expenses, Yi Zhonghai is definitely a wealthy man!

Spending a little money to gain great fame is something Yi Zhonghai is very happy to do.

"This……"

After hearing what Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu said, Yi Zhonghai's expression became embarrassed.

"We all hope that an uncle will still be an uncle, right?"

He Yuzhu saw Yi Zhonghai's hesitation and thought that he was considering whether to continue to stay in the position of the eldest master for the sake of the people in the courtyard, so he struck while the iron was hot and added fuel to the fire.

It has to be said that humans are creatures with very strong inertia.

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, even those who hated Yi Zhonghai became hesitant. Will things be better after Yi Zhonghai is removed from office?

In particular, after Yi Zhonghai was removed from office, the most likely person to take over the position of Daye is Liu Haizhong.

"Yes! We can't leave the Grandpa in our courtyard, just like a fish cannot leave water. The Grandpa should continue to stay in the courtyard."

Inside the compound, Li Hongtao also shouted.

He simply didn't want Liu Haizhong to take over the position of the eldest uncle, so even though he hated Yi Zhonghai, he could only say it against his will.

"Although Lao Yi made mistakes, as the saying goes, no one is perfect, as long as he is willing to correct his mistakes sincerely, it will be fine. What's more, besides Lao Yi, our Siheyuan has enough prestige to be qualified for the position of the eldest uncle, so I still hope that Lao Yi can continue to be the eldest uncle of our Siheyuan."

Yan Bugui also said this while hesitating.

Although Yi Zhonghai has retired from the position of the eldest uncle, according to the principle of replacement, Liu Haizhong will most likely take over the position of the first uncle, and he will take over the position of the second uncle.

But ~

He didn't want Liu Haizhong to be the first uncle rather than the second uncle.

Ah!

Li Hongtao and Yan Bugui spoke one after another, and Liu Haizhong's face changed. He was about to speak, but peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the smugness that flashed across Yi Zhonghai's face.

on purpose!

Yi Zhonghai is such a hypocrite. He had anticipated the current situation and therefore spoke those words deliberately.

How could Liu Haizhong not understand at this moment!

Old thing!

"Yes~ Third uncle is right. No one is perfect. First uncle is able to correct his mistakes. That is the greatest kindness. I also think that we should give him another chance."

"Yes! We have all seen how the uncle behaves. He is the most suitable person to be the uncle in the courtyard."

……

As Li Hongtao and Yan Bugui spoke one after another, others also spoke up. Of course, some people gave them the cold shoulder.

However, the trend has already been set, and they will not raise any objections, facing the possibility of retaliation from Yi Zhonghai in the future.

The reason why so many people support Yi Zhonghai is that they don’t want Liu Haizhong to become the boss in the hospital.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Liu Haizhong’s face turned even darker.

He understood that even if he went to the street office to report now, Yi Zhonghai would continue to stay in this position with his eloquent tongue that could confuse right and wrong and the support of so many people.

"This, ah..."

Hearing the successive voices, Yi Zhonghai sighed, pretended to be very helpless, and said:

"Since everyone supports me, I will continue to serve as the head of our courtyard with reluctance. Just wait and see how I perform in the future~ Okay, everyone, go away. I'll go back to my room and take out fifty yuan to make amends to Wei Min!"

Having said that, Yi Zhonghai turned around and returned to his room.
