Siheyuan, my new life

When He Daqing heard Lin Yu's question, he recounted without hesitation the details of his conflict with Yan Bugui at the gate of the next-door courtyard house No. 95.

After listening to this, Lin Yu nodded slightly. He Daqing's description was basically consistent with everything he had discovered, which also meant that He Daqing did not lie to him.

In fact, this was also a misunderstanding made by Lin Yu. In He Daqing's mind, Lin Yu was a powerful leader who had just taken office and arrested the two deputy directors of the famous Lou Bancheng and Red Star Steel Rolling Mills, dozens of cadres and employees at lightning speed. Even Director Song and Secretary Guo were implicated and arrested. He was also clearly aware of his affair with the White Widow and that Yi Zhonghai and the White Widow were in collusion to design their own schemes. He Daqing mistakenly thought that these were all detailed investigations and visits made by Lin Yu in advance, otherwise how could he know so much about the situation?

In He Daqing's mind, since a high-ranking and powerful figure like Lin Yu was going to move into the west wing of Courtyard No. 95, he would definitely have to investigate and visit the surrounding environment and residents and neighbors. Therefore, Lin Yu must have grasped a lot of relevant information. So when facing Lin Yu's inquiries, he told the truth without hesitation.

Lin Yu lit a cigarette, frowned slightly and said: "Old He, from the report materials I got, I found that your No. 95 courtyard is extremely abnormal, especially the three uncles in charge are simply the source of all evil trends. Let me first talk about the investigation results I saw. As an old resident of No. 95 courtyard, listen to whether there are too many discrepancies. The second uncle Liu Haizhong, a idiot official, has been arrested and imprisoned. He will be severely punished by law, so there is no need to talk about this person; the third uncle Yan Bugui is an elementary school teacher who always talks about not being poor and not being poor, and being poor if he doesn't calculate. He often goes to school in the afternoon. Leaving school early and returning to the gate of the courtyard, he shamelessly took advantage of the residents. He was just like a toad that jumped onto the feet. It was annoying even though it didn't bite anyone. According to the investigation, Yan Bugui often asked students' parents for things. If they didn't give them, he would deliberately target these students in class. He was just a scum among the people's teachers. As for that uncle Yi Zhonghai, he was a typical hypocritical, thief and prostitute. It was said that he had a good relationship with you in the past. According to the results of the current investigation, this Yi Zhonghai was also involved in other criminal acts. I hope you can keep it strictly confidential and draw a clear line with him. "

When He Daqing learned that Yi Zhonghai was actually colluding with the White Widow to plot against him, he wanted to chop the two bastards into pieces with a kitchen knife, so when he heard Lin Yu's instructions, he nodded in agreement.

Lin Yu took a puff of his cigarette and asked in confusion: "Old He, I have been fighting with the army since I was sixteen, so I have no idea about the courtyard life in the old Sijiu City. But according to the investigation report I saw, the No. 95 courtyard was not like it is now. Although there are some trivial frictions between neighbors, those are still normal. But since the three uncles who manage the affairs have appeared, the atmosphere of the No. 95 courtyard has become problematic. You are an old resident of the No. 95 courtyard. I hope you can think carefully about whether this is the case."

He Daqing has been living in this courtyard house and has never thought about this problem. After hearing Lin Yu's question today, he carefully recalled the changes that had occurred inadvertently in the past few years and was suddenly shocked. Thinking about it carefully, it was just as Lin Yu said. Although the No. 95 courtyard house in the past could not be called a harmonious neighborhood, it was completely different from the current one that was full of calculations and vigilance. The No. 95 courtyard house had become like this since the three managers came into being, but he had completely ignored the huge changes in it.

He Daqing took a deep puff of his cigarette and said in a frustrated tone: "Director Lin, it is indeed as you said. It was after the three stewards headed by Yi Zhonghai came into being that problems began to appear in Courtyard No. 95. In particular, Yi Zhonghai and his men have been advocating that matters in the courtyard be resolved in the courtyard, saying that if the news gets out, it will affect the reputation of everyone in the courtyard. Therefore, many petty thefts, fights and brawls have been handled by the three stewards in the form of a general meeting of the courtyard. Some things have been handled fairly, but once the Jia family is involved, Yi Zhonghai will be more or less partial to them, because the Jia family is the main family of the family. Dongxu is Yi Zhonghai's apprentice. Seeing Yi Zhonghai's partiality to the Jia family, although no one said anything on the surface, they were all a little dissatisfied in private. Because of Yi Zhonghai's partiality, Jia Dongxu's mother Jia Zhang would often throw tantrums and act like a rogue in the courtyard, and often steal things like onions, ginger, and garlic from other families. When someone reported it to the steward, Yi Zhonghai always evaded the issue by saying that neighbors should understand and help each other, and that it was not easy for the orphans and widows of the Jia family to live. This further encouraged Jia Zhang's arrogance, and only my son He Yuzhu and I had dealt with this shameless shrew twice. "

Lin Yu nodded and said in a serious tone: "Old He, the ancients all knew that if you can't clean your own house, how can you clean the world? Although there are only a dozen households in the No. 95 courtyard, it is also a microcosm of society. If this situation continues, have you ever thought about it? When your son and daughter have been living in such a distorted environment, will they lose their correct outlook on life and values ​​imperceptibly? Are you willing to watch your children grow up and become people who are incompatible with mainstream social consciousness?"

In fact, Lin Yu is not exaggerating. In the original drama, after He Daqing went to Baoding, his son He Yuzhu became a hateful and unruly person under Yi Zhonghai's brainwashing day after day and year after year, while his daughter Yushui saw through the intrigues and scams in the Siheyuan and rarely returned to the Siheyuan after getting married.

He Daqing couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He shook his head firmly and said, "Director Lin, I absolutely cannot watch Zhu and Yushui continue to live in such an environment. In fact, I am more or less responsible for the current situation of No. 95 Siheyuan. At that time, the director of the street office asked me to be the manager, but I felt that this was a thankless job, so I used the excuse of being busy with work to shirk the job. I also recommended Yi Zhonghai to be the manager. I am really ashamed to say this."

Lin Yu smiled and said, "It has already happened, we need to find the mistake and correct it. Since you mentioned Yi Zhonghai again, what kind of person is Yi Zhonghai in your impression, Lao He?"

He Daqing frowned and thought for a while before continuing: "This Yi Zhonghai looks very deceptive from the outside. He looks honest and upright all day long. However, after interacting with him, I personally feel that he is a bit hypocritical, and can even be said to be sanctimonious."
