Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Chen Xu, who was still wandering outside at the moment, obviously didn't know what happened in the courtyard.

Chen Xu, who had harvested another basin of small fish in the Pigeon Market, felt happy when he saw that there were already thousands of fish in the space. However, after visiting several Pigeon Markets, he lost interest in continuing to shop around.

Go back to the steel mill for dinner, and then return to the courtyard.

The whole process went smoothly. Now that Xu Damao was not around, he felt comfortable being alone.

In fact, he wanted to go to the countryside. If he hadn't been delayed by the issue of fish fry, he would have gone to the countryside long ago.

Fortunately, the results were out soon, and Chen Xu was not in a hurry. There was no problem at all with the task targets of his purchasing department this month, and he could afford to wait for a few days.

Being alone does not have its advantages. At least no one will suspect Chen Xu even if he does not cook at home.

After all, who would come back to cook for themselves when they can eat at the factory? Chen Xu is not the only one in the courtyard. There are also several single people passing by the courtyard who feel the same way.

The courtyard only has a bit of life and noise in the evening.

Without Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai and other guys are causing trouble, and the experience of going home like a tribulation is no longer experienced.

Chen Xu is very satisfied with the current environment. After all, no normal person would like to make some noise every day. There are so many things he could do with his time instead of just arguing with the beasts in the courtyard.

According to Murphy's Law, what you dislike most is what will happen.

The moment Chen Xu pushed open the door, his face darkened.

The few pieces of furniture were all tilted here and there. In the middle of the main room, there was his bedding lying in a crooked pattern with tiny footprints all over it. Chen Xu could even smell a stench of urine.

He closed the door and turned to walk towards the courtyard.

Chen Xu completed it in one go, leaving the deaf old lady who was waiting for Chen Xu's reaction dumbfounded.

Li Xiulan went back to cook. She sat there, wanting to see if Chen Xu would notice someone entering his house. However, this guy didn't even enter the door and went straight to the central courtyard.

"Are you so sure?"

The deaf old lady thought that Chen Xu had discovered that it was Bang Geng who did it, and was now going to the Central Courtyard to cause trouble for the Jia family. She immediately became energetic, quickly stood up, picked up her crutches and followed him to the Central Courtyard, which was completely inconsistent with her usual trembling image.

However, when she walked into the middle courtyard, she happened to see Chen Xu ignoring the Jia family and going straight to the front courtyard.

The deaf old lady's heart skipped a beat and she guessed what Chen Xu was going to do.

She now knew very well that this guy liked to report things to the Street Office. Chen Xu left with a dark face. If he didn't want to cause trouble for the Jia family, he would have to go to the Street Office.

Banggeng was sitting at the dining table at home when he saw Chen Xu passing by the door and felt a little relieved.

He thought that Chen Xu didn't come to trouble him because he didn't notice what he had done.

He never thought that those dense footprints had already exposed his identity.

Moreover, for Chen Xu, there was basically no need to worry about things like having his house robbed in Siheyuan. He could just blame the Jia family.

The deaf old lady thought for a moment and went straight to the Yi family.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the deaf old lady who came in and nodded slightly as a greeting. Li Xiulan was a little curious about why the deaf old lady came at this time, but she didn't think much about it.

"Since the old lady is here, why not have a bite together?"

The deaf old lady looked at the pickled vegetable buns on the table and shook her head decisively.

"No, I've eaten."

Yi Zhonghai didn't care about that. He had suffered a great blow during this period and looked very gloomy at the moment.

Just as he picked up a steamed bun and put it in his mouth, the deaf old lady stopped him from putting the bun in his mouth.

"I guess Chen Xu went to the street office."

The deaf old lady's incoherent words made Yi Zhonghai feel a little puzzled.

Street office? What street office? I have to go to the street office to receive ideological education after dinner.

Li Xiulan's eyes widened.

"Not really. I remember that kid Bang Geng didn't have anything in his hands when he came out of his house."

"Not sure. Neither of us knows the specific situation at Chen Xu's home. He opened the door, took a look, and left. It is estimated that there is a high probability that he went to the street office..."

Yi Zhonghai looked at his wife and the deaf old lady talking incomprehensible words with a confused look on his face, but after listening to them he was able to sort out some thoughts.

"You mean, Banggeng went to Chenxu's house today?"

The deaf old lady and Li Xiulan nodded.

Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly. Since it was related to the Jia family, he was a little restless.

This is a habit that Yi Zhonghai has developed over the years.

Although he did not expect Banggeng to support him in his old age, it would not be a good thing for him if something happened to the Jia family.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai who put down the steamed bun and was about to go out, the deaf old lady felt a little disappointed.

"Stop right there..."

The deaf old lady's words stopped Yi Zhonghai in his tracks, and he turned around and looked at her in disbelief.

The deaf old lady never liked to meddle in his affairs, but this time seemed to be an exception.

Ignoring Yi Zhonghai's puzzled look, the deaf old lady knocked on the ground with her cane.

"Can't you see clearly what has happened these days? The Jia family deserves half the credit for your current situation. If Jia Dongxu hadn't complained, you and Zhuzi wouldn't have clashed with Chen Xu and Xu Damao. Otherwise, He Daqing wouldn't have come back."

After taking a breath, the deaf old lady continued.

"Plus, you lost your position as the steward because of Jia Zhang's incident a few days ago. Now you have almost nothing. What? Are you going to sacrifice yourself as well?"

Yi Zhonghai fell silent.

The deaf old lady's words reminded him of what he had experienced during this period. Although her words were a bit harsh, they were also true.

It’s just that Yi Zhonghai is too obsessed with the issue of elderly care, and he seems to have lost his mind when it comes to many things related to the Jia family.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything, the deaf old lady continued.

"What's the point of you going there now? Are you still the boss of the courtyard? Can you still deal with the street office? Idiot."

The deaf old lady became angrier and angrier as she spoke. If it weren't for the fact that the Yi family had taken care of her for so many years, Yi Zhonghai's misfortune would have been none of her business.

Anyway, the one who took care of her was an old lady, so Yi Zhonghai didn't really have that much influence on her.

"That being said, you should think it over carefully, Xiulan, help me go back."

"Ugh..."

Li Xiulan sighed. She couldn't change Yi Zhonghai's mind, but the Yi family really couldn't stand the trouble now.

No matter how important the issue of retirement is, it is not as important as the present. Now that the Yi family has become like this, it is obviously unwise to meddle in the affairs of the Jia family.

The most important thing is that it is useless to manage it. Yi Zhonghai has just lost his position as the manager, and now he needs to go to the street office every day for ideological education. If he is accused of any other crime, he might really be implicated.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai who was sitting there in a daze, the deaf old lady ignored him and turned around, and was supported by Li Xiulan to leave the Yi family.

It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. If Yi Zhonghai still refuses to change his mind, then he deserves it.
