Siheyuan: Days of bird abuse in Siheyuan

Chapter 34 Catching the Thief

"Wei Min, you are a good cook."

Yan Bugui picked up a piece of pork slice and put it in his mouth, revealing a look of enjoyment. Then he tasted a sip of Red Star Erguotou, and he felt so refreshed as if he had undergone a health regimen.

Hou Weimin also knew his cooking skills. He had hardly ever cooked in his previous life, and he hadn’t fried any meat dishes in this life!

It hasn’t been long since I got the system. Even if it’s delicious, how delicious can it be?

Yan Bugui thought it was delicious simply because he hadn’t eaten meat for a long time!

"Then please eat more, uncle."

Hou Weimin said.

"Third uncle, I respect you the most in this courtyard. The so-called first uncle is unfair, unclear about rewards and punishments, and his mind is full of his own retirement. For his retirement, he is partial to the Jia family and He Yuzhu. That's even more partial to my grandmother's family."

Hou Weimin also poured himself a glass of wine and took the opportunity to complain.

"And Liu Haizhong, I look down on him the most. He has no culture at all. How can he be the second uncle in the courtyard? What do you mean by second uncle or first uncle? I think you are the only one qualified to be the uncle in our courtyard. No one else is qualified."

Ah!

There was a gleam in Yan Bugui's eyes, and even his hands, which were constantly picking up food, slowed down a few seconds.

"Do you really think so?"

Yan Bugui said excitedly.

"It's not just me who thinks so. Most people in our courtyard think so. Who in our courtyard doesn't know that Yi Zhonghai is partial to the Jia family and Sha Zhu? Who does Yi Zhonghai think he can hide from?"

"Liu Haizhong is a power-hungry guy. He is showing off as the second uncle of the courtyard. Who in our courtyard doesn't annoy him? I think you are the only one who is suitable for the position of the first uncle of the courtyard, except for you!"

Hou Weimin said against his will.

"Okay~Okay~Okay~"

Hearing Hou Weimin's words, Yan Bugui smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face blossomed particularly clearly, "Come on, let's go for a walk together."

Yan Bugui raised his glass.

boom!

The wine glasses clinked together, and the spicy taste of Red Star Erguotou spread in the mouth, causing Hou Weimin to frown slightly.

"Thief, catch the thief~"

Just as Hou Weimin continued to instigate, suddenly, the voice of Xu Damao, who lived in the backyard, came over.

!

It seemed that he was shocked by Xu Damao's voice, and there were strange noises like thunder and clanging.

Hou Weimin stood up suddenly.

I have spent ten years sharpening my sword, and today I will ask for your advice.

Hou Weimin's Bajiquan is not something he has mastered for ten years, but his physical fitness has improved greatly. Now is the time to test his achievements.

Following the sound, Hou Weimin was about to rush out, but Yan Bugui suddenly grabbed his clothes:

"Wei Min, don't rush out yet. Wait until Sha Zhu and the others come over."

Yan Bugui said somewhat anxiously.

Although Hou Weimin looked much better than his usual sickly appearance in recent days, his previous frail appearance was too deeply rooted in people's minds, so it was normal that Yan Bugui could not change it for a while.

"Don't worry, Uncle San. I know what's going on."

As Hou Weimin said this, he struggled a little and then rushed out.

Hou Weimin was the first one to arrive. As expected, he saw a tall and strong figure climbing the wall, while Xu Damao could only hide far away and tremble.

At the same time, Lou Xiao'e rushed out of the room. After seeing Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao seemed to have found his backbone and hid behind Lou Xiao'e.

Hou Weimin couldn't help but look at Xu Damao with a bit more contempt in his eyes.

When Lou Xiao'e saw Xu Damao hiding behind her, she couldn't help but feel angry.

"stop!"

With a running start, Hou Weimin rushed over and pulled the thief down.

"Let go, or I'll kill you!"

With a sinister look on his face, the thief stared at Hou Weimin.

boom!

Without saying a word, Hou Weimin punched the thief hard.

"Ah~"

After a scream, the thief fell to the ground.

The other man was tall and strong, and wanted to get up and struggle, but he became submissive after being punched several times by Hou Weimin.

At this moment, the loud noise also attracted other people in the courtyard.

As soon as I stepped into the backyard, I saw Hou Weimin pinning down a thief and beating him violently.

"Hou Weimin, how can you hit someone randomly!!"

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Liu Haizhong pushed open the door and, before he could figure out the situation, saw Hou Weimin kicking people.

Ok?

There was no time to think about how the sickly guy in the courtyard could kick people now. A light flashed in the little eyes behind his bangs. This was a great opportunity to punish Hou Weimin!

Liu Haizhong shouted hurriedly.

"Hou Weimin, you actually hit someone. Our Siheyuan has always been united, friendly, and sincere in helping each other. Your behavior is tarnishing our Siheyuan."

Yi Zhonghai also ran out from the central courtyard. When he saw Hou Weimin kicking a strange man, his eyes lit up.

In an instant, a series of moral blackmailing words came out of Yi Zhonghai's mouth.

They gradually discredited Hou Weimin's reputation, and eventually united the entire compound to drive Hou Weimin out of the courtyard.

This is the plan Yi Zhonghai has made in his mind now.

But~

Soon Yi Zhonghai's smear campaign failed because...

Ah!

When Xu Damao, who was hiding behind Lou Xiaoe and trembling, saw the figure under Hou Weimin's feet become obedient, his eyes lit up. He rushed to the thief and kicked him hard.

"Damn it! Who is so blind as to steal things from your uncle Mao's house? How dare you steal your uncle's things?"

With a ferocious look of anger on his face, Xu Damao kept kicking hard.

!

"Xu Damao, you said he was a thief?"

Liu Haizhong asked in surprise.

"Yes, Uncle Er, Xiao'e and I had just laid down when we noticed a figure in the room. I realized that my house had been robbed, so I shouted and the thief got scared and ran away. Fortunately, Hou Weimin caught him."

Looking at Hou Weimin, Xu Damao's eyes revealed some sincere gratitude.

Everyone else looked at Hou Weimin in surprise, after all, Hou Weimin's previous image of a sickly person was too deeply rooted in people's minds.

"Isn't Wei Min a sickly person? How come he is so powerful all of a sudden?"

"You can't look at Wei Min with the old eyes. Maybe you don't know this, but Wei Min applied for the second-level fitter assessment today and has passed. Now Wei Min is a second-level fitter and his monthly salary is 36.5 yuan."

The Siheyuan is the asset of the steel mill, and the residents in the Siheyuan naturally have close ties with the steel mill.

Just like the Red Star Primary School where the third uncle Yan Bugui taught, it was a factory-owned primary school.

Naturally, the fitters in the second workshop in the courtyard also heard about Hou Weimin's promotion to a second-level fitter, so they spoke about it in public.

As soon as these words were spoken, many people's eyes lit up, or some jealousy appeared in their eyes.

Among them was Qin Huairu. His intense jealousy and unwillingness turned into a whip to whip Qin Huairu.

It has been more than three years since I took over Jia Dongxu's job, and I am still only a first-level fitter.

Hou Weimin took over later than himself, but now he is already a second-level fitter.

Ah!

A monthly salary of thirty-six yuan and fifty cents was already acceptable in that era, and Hou Weimin was living alone, so if he was well fed, the whole family would not be hungry.

Hou Weimin's complexion now is not the same as before. He doesn't look sickly at all now.

Although Jia Zhang had always spread rumors that Hou Weimin was not good in other aspects besides being physically weak, after all, they lived in the same courtyard with Hou Weimin, and they knew that such rumors were completely groundless.

Some people were considering whether to introduce their distant country relatives to Hou Weimin as his wife.

After all, Baijia Zhang spread rumors on the streets near the courtyard, saying that Hou Weimin had bad morals and poor health, so that it was very difficult for Hou Weimin to find a girl with a formal job in the city at that time, especially since Hou Weimin's parents had passed away.

"You bastard, you actually stole my money!!"

Xu Damao took out five dollars from the thief's arms and took off his military coat.

This dress also belongs to Xu Damao.

It was given to Xu Damao by someone when he went to the countryside to show movies!

"Okay, call the police and arrest this thief. Wei Min, you are also great. You rushed over and pulled the thief down from the top of the wall. Otherwise, the thief would have escaped. Wei Min, you have brought honor to our courtyard. I would like to commend you here."

Yan Bugui stood up and spoke at the right time.

"Jie Cheng, go call the police."

Yan Bugui instructed his son.

"okay."

Although he was reluctant, Yan Jiecheng had to listen to his father's words.

Although Yan Bugui is good at calculating, it is obviously much better to be born in the Yan family than in the Liu Haizhong family.

Although Liu Haizhong's family was wealthier, except for Liu Guangyuan who had married into the Liu Haizhong family in Province D, who could be said to be favored by Liu Haizhong and his wife, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu could only enjoy being beaten by Liu Haizhong every now and then.

"They actually stole into our courtyard."

In order to vent his anger at being beaten frequently by his father Liu Haizhong, Liu Guangtian walked up and kicked the thief hard, causing the thief to scream.

However, no one in the courtyard showed any sympathy. After all, in later generations, it was normal to beat up a thief after catching him in remote areas, let alone in this era.

"Alright, Zhang Dequan, Xu Damao, Liu Guangtian, you just arrest the thief and hand him over to the police when they arrive."

Upon learning that Hou Weimin was acting bravely for justice, Yi Zhonghai could not find fault with him. He could only sullenly put on the airs of a big boss and gave orders to Xu Damao and others.

Then he turned and left.

Not long after, the police came and after asking about the situation, they took the thief, who looked like he had lost all hope in life, away.

If he is arrested, he will be sent to labor camp. It would be strange if he looks happy.
