Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

When I returned to the courtyard, I smelled the aroma of food. Obviously, the residents had started their dinner.

As soon as Chen Xu walked into the courtyard gate and passed through the hanging flower gate, he met the courtyard door god, Yan Bugui, the reincarnation of the abacus spirit.

The moment he saw Chen Xu, Yan Bugui came over.

"Xiao Chen, I heard that you successfully applied for a job at the steel mill?"

Chen Xu was speechless. Did the news spread so quickly? Should he say that it was worthy of being a quadrangle?

"That's what happened."

Chen Xu did not intend to hide it, but he could not hide it either. Several residents of the courtyard worked in the steel rolling mill. They saw each other every day, and sooner or later they would know.

When Yan Bugui came back and heard Xu Damao talk about this, he was still a little skeptical, but Xu Damao was very sure and even said that he had brought it to the purchasing department personally. Yan Bugui felt that Chen Xu had some capabilities.

After all, there are many people who want to get into the steel mill now, so it is worth it even if you have to eat cheap meals for a month.

"Hey, Xiao Chen, you don't have to worry about food this month."

Yan Bugui's idea was exactly the same as Xu Damao's. They both didn't think Chen Xu could really accomplish anything. The biggest possibility was that he would just hang around for a month and then be kicked out.

Chen Xu was happy with this. He just needed to develop quietly. The courtyard was not a good place and was basically full of beasts.

Hating you for what you have and laughing at you for what you don't is common here.

After chatting for a few minutes, Yan Bugui never thought of getting any advantage from Chen Xu. The boy was too poor and always came back empty-handed. The only thing he did was catch a few small fish last time, but Yan Bugui didn't even look at them.

After knowing the truth of the matter, Yan Bugui lost interest in continuing to chat with Chen Xu, and the two of them went back home.

Middle Court.

Chen Xu felt annoyed when he saw Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu standing at the door eating. Another bad thing about living in the backyard was the current situation. Every time he passed by the courtyard, it was like passing through a level and overcoming a tribulation.

Seeing Chen Xu coming back, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but speak immediately.

"Chen Xu, you are taking advantage of the country, don't you know that?"

Chen Xu took a deep breath and wanted to just kill this idiot. What qualifications do you have to talk about me when you eavesdropped on your mother and master having an affair?

"none of your business."

Jia Dongxu was almost choked to death by the word "Chen Xu". He pointed at Chen Xu with trembling fingers and was speechless for a long time. Obviously, this guy was far worse than Sha Zhu and Xu Damao in terms of eloquence.

Sha Zhu, who was watching the fun, saw Jia Dongxu being killed by Chen Xu in one move, and he jumped out immediately.

"Chen Xu, how did you get into the steel mill?"

"I know you very well?"

"you..."

Chen Xu was too lazy to pay attention to this idiot. What's the problem? Given our relationship, where do you get the confidence to ask so many questions?

Sha Zhu stared at Chen Xu with a gloomy face and wanted to take action directly.

Chen Xu knew what Sha Zhu was thinking. To be honest, he was a little surprised that Sha Zhu could endure until now. After all, in the memories that Chen Xu had integrated, Sha Zhu had beaten Xu Damao more than once.

"Boy, do you really think I dare not hit you?"

Chen Xu now looks skin and bones, and he looks like a physique that will fall down if the wind blows. Apart from being stupid when it comes to Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu has some idea about other things and has never dared to fight with Chen Xu. But this time he is really annoyed. He feels that Chen Xu is a bit too arrogant.

Chen Xu reached into his cotton-padded jacket, took out a brick, and waited quietly for Sha Zhu.

Silly:...

Shazhu was full of questions. How did you stuff a brick into your cotton-padded jacket? And why did you carry a brick with you?

It’s not that he was afraid of Chen Xu just because Chen Xu had a brick on him, but he just couldn’t understand why Chen Xu had a brick on him.

Chen Xu is not someone who is easy to mess with. As an orphan in his previous life, fighting was a common occurrence for him since he was a child. Moreover, he really dares to kill. If Sha Zhu really dares to come up, he will hit Sha Zhu on the forehead the first time.

The residents of the courtyard formed a circle again. Xu Damao walked out of the crowd, gave Chen Xu a thumbs up and called him "silly zhu".

"Silly Zhu, are you missing something in your brain? Just because you framed Chen Xu last time, why would he bother with you?"

Chen Xu looked at Xu Damao with a smug look on his face and felt that this guy was still okay. As long as it was against Sha Zhu, he would really do it. Sha Zhu didn't want to cripple Chen Xu and cause trouble for himself, but that didn't mean he wouldn't beat you, Xu Damao.

As expected, Sha Zhu was instantly attracted by Xu Damao, and the anger he had been holding back at Chen Xu exploded.

"Xu Damao, you are looking for death..."

Before he finished his words, Sha Zhu rushed towards Xu Damao, his fist heading straight for Xu Damao's eyes.

"boom!"

"Ah! You silly..."

Xu Damao covered his eyes and was about to retort when Sha Zhu grabbed his shoulders, threw him to the ground with a side throw, and then sat on him and beat him up.

Xu Damao, who was half a head taller than Sha Zhu, had no power to fight back and was beaten until he screamed.

Yi Zhonghai, who had been watching the show for a long time, quickly grabbed Chen Xu.

"Xiao Chen, I have to say something to you. It's wrong for you to use a brick directly. We are all neighbors. It's okay to have a few quarrels from time to time, but you can't take it seriously..."

Chen Xu looked at Yi Zhonghai, who was holding his hand tightly and kept chattering, with a confused look on his face.

"Uncle, over there..."

Xu Damao, who was a few meters away, was still wailing, but Yi Zhonghai acted as if he didn't see it and continued to talk to Chen Xu.

"Xiao Chen, you are wrong. You should respect the old and love the young. How can you interrupt your elders? I am telling you..."

Chen Xu: ...

For the first time, he understood why everyone in his previous life said that Yi Zhonghai was obviously biased. It was not even obvious, he was blatantly targeting Xu Damao.

As for why Yi Zhonghai dared to target Xu Damao so much, there must be many reasons.

For example, Xu Damao's popularity in the Siheyuan isn't very good. Although he can't be said to be hated by everyone, he isn't much better either. After all, Yi Zhonghai is very partial to him, and the residents of the Siheyuan won't say anything, and may even be happy about it.

On the other hand, it is probably related to Xu Damao's father. When Old Xu was still in Siheyuan, he was also a figure, and he was as cunning as Yi Zhonghai. The three masters of Siheyuan at that time were He Daqing, Xu Fugui, and Yi Zhonghai.

After He Daqing ran away with the widow, Yi Zhonghai and Xu Fugui had many conflicts over the position of the eldest master. At least with the help of the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai was able to gain the upper hand.

As for the Xu family, the narrow-minded Yi Zhonghai naturally did not want to let them go. After Xu Fugui and his wife left, Xu Damao, who stayed in the courtyard, began to have bad luck. With Sha Zhu as his thug and Yi Zhonghai's occasional favoritism, Xu Damao was simply powerless to turn the situation around.

After a full minute or so, Yi Zhonghai called out to Sha Zhu, but he did not let go of Chen Xu.

"Zhu Zi, how can you hit someone? Stop it immediately..."

After talking so much, Yi Zhonghai scolded Sha Zhu seriously, as if he had just seen someone being beaten nearby.

"Uncle, I was wrong..."

Sha Zhu said this but his face was full of smiles, he didn't show any intention of admitting his fault at all.

He got up from Xu Damao and stood aside with an indifferent look on his face. He and Yi Zhonghai cooperated very well in this matter.
