Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Compared to Yan Bugui, who didn't care much about his position as the manager, Liu Haizhong in the backyard was much more depressed.

He always had one thing in mind, which was the vacant position of the old man.

But he was busy making money to support his family during this period and had no time to think about the courtyard house. Now that he was on vacation and had some free time, he was inexplicably taken to the street office and scolded today. The thoughts that had been suppressed deep in his mind could not help but rise up again.

Compared to the past when Siheyuan was controlled by Yi Zhonghai, now all one needs to get promoted is a nod from Director Wang. This is much easier than having to overthrow Yi Zhonghai first and then get promoted.

Liu Haizhong went home, drank and wondered why Director Wang had not yet arranged a candidate for the position of the uncle.

Suddenly, Lao Liu's eyes lit up. Could it be that Director Wang was waiting for him to produce results?

This must be the case.

Liu Haizhong felt a little annoyed, wondering why it took him so long to think of this.

In his opinion, it was only natural for him, the second uncle, to take over after Yi Zhonghai stepped down. The reason why the street office did not appoint a new person in charge was naturally to wait for him to get the approval of everyone in the courtyard.

After all, in today's new society, it is not easy for the street office to have the final say. If Liu Haizhong gets the support of the residents of the courtyard house, then the street office will naturally push him up.

Unfortunately, I have been a little out of control because of the unruly son at home recently, and I haven’t thought about it in this regard.

Looking back now, Director Wang’s lecture during the day might have been a bit like a sign of being disappointed in his students.

As for why Yan Bugui was called, a light flashed in Old Liu's eyes. He felt that Yan Bugui might have thought of this. Otherwise, this old guy usually didn't take care of things, so why was he so busy during this period of time?

This is clearly targeting the position of the uncle. After all, this position is vacant and anyone can take it.

I have been depressed for a while, but Yan Bugui is busy all the time. In the eyes of the street office, isn't this more suitable for the position of an uncle?

After drinking a few cups of cat urine, Lao Liu felt that this guy had an exceptionally sharp brain.

You are so good, Yan Bugui!

I've long seen that you, a four-eyed guy, are full of bad intentions. You actually stole my position...

No, we have to see what needs to be resolved in the hospital. We can't let Yan Bugui go on like this.

Putting down the cup, Liu Haizhong walked out with his hands behind his back.

If Yan Bugui knew what Liu Haizhong was thinking, he would probably scold him to death.

You act like you've lost your soul and don't care about anything every day. Yan Bugui has no choice but to work hard to take care of things. Now you have the nerve to blame him for stealing your position.

When Chen Xu came back, many families in the courtyard had already had dinner.

Now that it’s vacation time, most people only eat two meals, which also results in the second meal being eaten quite early.

As soon as Chen Xu entered the backyard, he saw Liu Haizhong walking towards the middle yard with his hands behind his back. He was a little surprised because he hadn't seen Old Liu like this for a while.

"Xiao Chen is back, congratulations. Uncle Er got drunk a few days ago and didn't have time to say congratulations, so I'll make up for it this time."

Chen Xu looked at the second uncle who was smiling like Maitreya Buddha in confusion.

He had never seen Liu Haizhong like this in all the time he had been in the courtyard. He looked as if he had found money.

Liu Haizhong never thought about gaining the support of the residents of the courtyard house and tried hard to be friendly.

Chen Xu didn't think much about it and just thought that something good had happened to Liu Haizhong.

"It's okay, is the second uncle taking a walk?"

"Uh, yes, it's okay to take a few steps."

The two walked past each other without stopping. They were completely familiar strangers.

Liu Haizhong didn't really want to care about Chen Xu's affairs, as long as they could live in peace.

After all, Old Liu saw with his own eyes how Yi Zhonghai fell into Chen Xu's hands, and today there was also a fool Zhu who agreed to fall into his trap.

Liu Haizhong didn’t have a bad impression of Chen Xu, but he didn’t think too much about having any contact with him. After all, this guy’s combat record was quite impressive.

Not only Liu Haizhong thought so, most people in Siheyuan thought so.

I basically just maintain a nodding acquaintance with Chen Xu.

Chen Xu was very satisfied with this. It was quite good to be an outsider in this smoky and chaotic courtyard.

Compared to these, Chen Xu remembered some other things. He estimated that even if Sha Zhu could come back from labor reform this time, he would definitely lose his job.

He remembered that labor reform was divided into different levels.

Labor reform for less than one year is considered re-education through labor, which is half labor reform and half education. The five months of labor reform that Sha Zhu spent last time under the name "re-education through labor" was actually of this nature.

But things are not so easy to deal with after more than a year. I guess He Daqing's face won't be so effective this time.

The factory leaders probably don't want to cause trouble for themselves.

A canteen director who has been away for almost ten years does not have the face to let his leader make mistakes. If someone finds evidence of this and reports him, he will probably be implicated.

It's not just the steel mill. Sha Zhu will never have a job this time.

There is also the girl Yu Shui. If Chen Xu remembered correctly, this girl later went to work in a textile factory. But it is hard to say now. Although this girl has studied in high school, she has a brother like Sha Zhu, so she probably has no chance of working in a factory.

Not only Chen Xu knew this, but He Daqing, who was sitting in the house smoking, also knew it.

So his main idea now is to leave everything to fate. Shazhu can't be helped up anymore, and now he is worried about what to do with the rain.

He also heard that Yu Shui didn't have an easy time in school. Although he was not bullied openly, sometimes rumors could cause more harm. If Sha Zhu was sent in again, Yu Shui's situation would probably be even worse.

He Daqing didn't know what to do now. Yu Shui might not have fully realized how much impact this incident had on her, but He Daqing could not have been unaware.

But it was no use knowing it, as he couldn't find a suitable way to handle the rainwater.

And Sha Zhu in the detention center has been in a decadent state these days, as if he has aged a dozen years in just a few days, with a dark face and untidy beard.

After He Daqing told him the possible consequences he might face that day, Sha Zhu became what he is now.

He leaned in the corner, stupidly and motionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking.

The only time there was some movement was when He Daqing brought him meals every day. Sha Zhu still had a little hope. In his eyes, the deaf old lady was already very powerful.

Although I’m not sure about other things, the old lady even knows people in places like the black market. What if she can rescue him?

Unfortunately, as the days passed, He Daqing did not bring him any good news. He even did not want to pay attention to him, and only sent him food out of consideration for the father-son relationship so that he would not starve to death.

But Sha Zhu didn't know that the deaf old lady he was thinking about had completely given up on him.

When the deaf old lady learned that Sha Zhu's condition was serious, she didn't even try to find anyone for help, as if she had never had this godson.

In fact, after the deaf old lady made up her mind not to care about Sha Zhu, she felt relieved, as if she was free of any pressure, and even ate an extra bowl of rice.

She is a five-guarantee household, with no worries about food and clothing, and she is also the oldest in the courtyard. Naturally, no one would be bored enough to cause trouble for an old lady, so she can just enjoy her retirement in peace.

As a result, because of the addition of Sha Zhu, her godson, she had to deal with a lot more trouble, which was totally not worth it.
