Siheyuan, my new life

Another neighbor said with a smile: "This is good. Yan Bugui has completely offended He Daqing this time. With Director He's connections in the factory, he can block the Yan family's children from getting jobs in the factory with just one word. And if Director He really goes to Hongxing Primary School to file a complaint, Yan Bugui's own job will probably be in jeopardy."

Another neighbor said, "It shouldn't be that serious. Even if Yan Bugui offended He Daqing, he wouldn't kill him, right?"

The person who just spoke said with disdain: "Yan Bugui dared to openly force He Daqing to give his son a job, and even wanted to drag our neighbors in the courtyard to force him together. Yan Bugui wanted to harm He Daqing. Who can say such a thing in public? Yan Bugui can do such a taboo thing. It would be strange if He Daqing didn't punish him. And you just saw that the gift in He Daqing's hand was not cheap. He must have given it to the leader. Even he himself needed to give gifts to arrange a job for his son. Yan Bugui is a teacher, how can he not understand this little bit of social etiquette?"

Someone nearby said with a smile: "Yan Bugui is pretending to be ignorant even though he knows the truth. He is just thinking about getting something for free. He is just daydreaming. How much does a job cost? He is so stingy that he just wants to get something for free. Does he think he can get something for free? He is just daydreaming."

Someone nearby suddenly asked, "Hey, do you think He Daqing arranged for Zhuzi to be a regular employee or a temporary employee?"

The person who just spoke said disdainfully: "Brains are good things, but unfortunately you don't have them. He Daqing, a temporary worker, can make decisions on his own. Do you really think that the deputy director of the canteen is just a decoration? Looking at He Daqing's posture now, he is definitely a regular employee, otherwise he wouldn't have to buy such expensive cigarettes and alcohol as gifts."

Hearing his words, the eyes of someone nearby suddenly lit up. Yes, they could ask He Daqing to help arrange a temporary job for them. Maybe they could get a permanent job in the future if they have the chance.

The person who had just spoken had already seen that the eyes of several people around him were shining, and it was obvious that they had an idea, so he shook his head and said: "Everyone, don't dream. If it was said before, there might be a chance to ask He Daqing to help find a temporary worker for the canteen, but after Yan Bugui's disturbance, He Daqing would never agree unless his head was squeezed by the door. Think about it, even if the canteen is short of people, he won't be short of so many, right? How many people in our No. 95 courtyard are unemployed now? At least ten or eight, right? If He Daqing helps only one neighbor, he will offend other neighbors. Would you do such a thankless thing if it were you?"

After hearing this, everyone understood what was going on. For a moment, they looked at Yan Bugui with anger. If Yan Bugui hadn't angered He Daqing, everyone might have had a chance. Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd: "If Yan Bugui blocks the gate of the courtyard again to ask for something, I will slap him in the face."

After hearing his words, the rest of the people also echoed him. To be honest, the neighbors in the courtyard of No. 95 have suffered from Yan Bugui for a long time. Now that someone has expressed everyone's wishes, everyone has made up their minds. Who would be willing to let others take advantage of them for no reason?

At this time, the people of the Yan family had already surrounded Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui's eyes were dull and he was like a wooden chicken. His wife Yang Ruihua supported Yan Bugui and didn't know what to say. No one knew what happened to the old man today. He repeatedly offended He Daqing. Now, He Daqing scolded him. Yan Bugui's prestige in the No. 95 courtyard was not high to begin with, and now it was gone. Even the residents who usually gave him some face now dared to talk about him unscrupulously in front of Yan Bugui's family.

Yang Ruihua had never encountered such a situation before. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she murmured to herself: "How could this happen? How dare you disrespect the steward?"

Yan Bugui, who was daydreaming, heard his wife say the words "third uncle, the manager". He suddenly pushed his wife and children away and walked towards the central courtyard.

Seeing Yan Bugui's actions, the neighbors who came to watch the fun followed closely behind him and walked into the middle courtyard. Everyone wanted to see what Yan Bugui was going to do.

Yan Bugui hurried to the gate of the Jia family in the middle courtyard, and sure enough, Yi Zhonghai and his wife were still there.

Just now, He Daqing's angry curses were heard from the front yard. Everyone in the Jia family's house in the middle yard could hear them clearly from this distance. Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but secretly curse Yan Bugui. You should at least have the right attitude when asking someone to do something for you. Do you really take the third uncle who manages the business seriously? He Daqing is a cadre of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill after all. Will he fall for your moral blackmail?

Obviously, Yan Bugui is just imitating others without any merit. He sees Yi Zhonghai often using the name of all the residents in the courtyard to solve problems, and he actually wants to use this method to force He Daqing to agree to arrange a job for his son. He is really crazy. You have to know that the courtyard is full of trivial matters, which are nothing compared to the work that concerns a person's whole life.

Yi Zhonghai felt that Yan Bugui would most likely come to him for help in the end, and for a moment Yi Zhonghai was in a dilemma. It stands to reason that Yan Bugui's behavior today was too bad, and if it were him, he would be lucky not to have slapped him. Based on his understanding of He Daqing, if he was not in a hurry to go out and give gifts to the leaders, he might have beaten Yan Bugui. And this matter was obviously not over yet, He Daqing would definitely deal with Yan Bugui. As for the Yan family's children wanting to enter the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill in the future, there was originally little hope. If He Daqing tried to stop them now, there would be no hope at all.

But Yi Zhonghai really didn't want to see He Daqing continue to act arrogantly in Courtyard No. 95. If this continued, he, the manager, would soon become a decoration. But he couldn't suppress He Daqing's limelight at all. The only person who could suppress He Daqing in this courtyard was the deaf old lady.

However, it is probably not possible to ask the deaf old lady to come forward for this matter, because Zhuzi is involved. In the mind of the deaf old lady, whether it is his wife Xiuqin or herself and He Daqing, they are probably not as important as Zhuzi alone.

Ever since the arrest of the second uncle Liu Haizhong, the manager, Yi Zhonghai clearly felt the change in the attitude of the residents in Courtyard No. 95 towards him. Although they could still get by on the surface, he was unable to get those guys who were taken to the police station together. This made the neighbors dissatisfied with him, and many of them even believed that the manager was just that, and was of no use at all at the critical moment.

In fact, this is exactly the key point that Yi Zhonghai has always demanded that "matters within the courtyard should be resolved within the courtyard". He has a clear self-knowledge that he can have a certain say in this courtyard, but outside the courtyard, he is just an ordinary sixth-level fitter.
