Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

They came and went quickly. It didn't take much time for the red armbands to appear and take the two people away. It was quick and efficient, with a military style.

Chen Xu could only watch his duck fly into someone else's bowl, and comforted himself in his heart that the guy who came out to beg for money must be extremely poor.

After everyone disappeared for a while, he came out of the space and quietly rushed to the courtyard. He felt a little disappointed. The extra money was gone. Chen Xu felt like he had lost 100 million...

Chen Xu, who was daydreaming, suddenly felt that he kicked something soft. In an instant, his hair stood up and he instinctively hid in the space.

In the dark alley, Chen Xu stood in the space and carefully looked at the situation outside, wondering if it was a dead body.

He was just an ordinary citizen in his previous life. He was not afraid of living people, but it was different for dead people. Chinese people basically stay away from them. Even if they are brave, they will feel unlucky when they encounter a corpse, let alone in the middle of the night.

It is common to find several corpses in the alleys in the old city nowadays. Although he has never seen it, he has heard about it.

The unlucky guy on the ground seemed to have been kicked hard by him accidentally, and he groaned slightly twice. The sound was inexplicably familiar.

Jia Dongxu! ?

Chen Xu was relieved in his heart. It was good that no one was dead. They were not far from the courtyard now, but this place was a bit remote. The guy was probably robbed. He didn't know whether he was hit with a club here or thrown here from somewhere else. However, it was lucky that he didn't lose his life.

Knowing the other party's identity, he felt much more at ease.

There is a person lying on the ground for no apparent reason. It would be worrying if we didn’t know his identity. Now the enemy spies are rampant and no one knows where he came from.

But Chen Xu felt that Jia Dongxu was quite unlucky. Including the last time when he stole something from him, he had returned empty-handed twice.

Not intending to meddle in other people's business, Chen Xu was ready to leave the space and return to the courtyard. It was none of his business whether Jia Dongxu lived or died. Before he could take any action, Jia Dongxu on the ground seemed to be kicked awake by him. He struggled to stand up with his hands on the wall and slowly moved towards the courtyard.

It was too dark here, and Chen Xu could only see a little bit of this guy's figure. After thinking for a while, he left the space and took a detour back to the courtyard.

Jia Dongxu's return to the courtyard in this state would probably cause quite a bit of commotion, and Chen Xu didn't want anyone to find out that he had just returned from outside in the middle of the night.

Sure enough, not long after I returned to the courtyard and changed my clothes and lay down, I heard crying outside. Jia Zhang's loud voice instantly alarmed the entire courtyard.

Hearing the noise outside getting louder and louder, Chen Xu pretended to put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out.

When he arrived, there were already a lot of people gathered at the door of the Jia family, and many of them were craning their necks to look towards the Jia family.

Chen Xu glanced at the crowd and didn't see Xu Damao. He was probably drunk and still awake.

The Jia family is now a bit lively. Qin Huairu is crying softly while cleaning Jia Dongxu's wounds. Jia Zhang stands with her hands on her hips and shouts, cursing that the person who robbed her son will have no descendants.

Chen Xu was shocked by the stupidity of this old hag. You made this matter known to the whole hospital. If someone secretly reported it, you wouldn't be able to deny it when so many people heard it.

This is the biggest shortcoming of this old hag. Once she gets excited, she doesn't care about anything.

"Snapped!"

Yi Zhonghai squeezed into the Jia family and slapped Jia Zhang in the face with such force that Jia Zhang, who was standing with her hands on her hips and looking up, turned around before falling to the ground.

The audience was silent.

"Don't you want Jia Dongxu to go to labor camp like Zhuzi?"

Jia Zhang was stunned and stayed on the ground for a few seconds before she reacted. Just as she was about to explode, she heard Yi Zhonghai's low shout. Her heart tightened and she covered her mouth with her hands, not daring to say a word.

Obviously, the old woman came to her senses and realized that she was sending her son to death. She was just impulsive and did things without considering the consequences. It was not that she had a problem with her brain. She still had some common sense.

Chen Xu felt like laughing when he saw the old woman's spell being interrupted by Yi Zhonghai. Whether Yi Zhonghai did this to protect his apprentice or to take the opportunity to teach Jia Zhang a lesson, probably only Yi Zhonghai himself knew.

Jia Dongxu was still groaning, and Chen Xu had no intention of watching any longer. He came here just to see if Jia Dongxu would be hanged directly on the wall. But now it seemed that although this guy had a bruised face and seemed to have gained a lot of weight, at least his life was not in danger.

It’s already late in the morning. If I don’t go to bed, it will probably be afternoon tomorrow.

Yi Zhonghai was already driving people away over there, and he had ready-made reasons.

"Everyone is gone. What time is it? Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"

Chen Xu listened to Yi Zhonghai's voice behind him and felt a little disdainful of this guy. He didn't even look at his own condition and his bad reputation, yet he was still protecting the Jia family.

This kind of thing can only happen to Jia Dongxu. If it were someone else, Yi Zhonghai would probably have a different expression.

He has always been wondering why the street office did not remove Yi Zhonghai's status as the boss. Logically speaking, with Yi Zhonghai's current reputation outside, the street office could not remain indifferent.

In fact, he took it for granted. The sub-district office was not unaware of Yi Zhonghai's affairs. After all, they were not deaf. Not only the old city, but the entire Nanluoguxiang knew about it, so naturally the sub-district office had heard about it as well.

But hearing about it is one thing, but actually it is hard to say.

There are an abundance of rumors these days. The fact that Yi Zhonghai embezzled his living expenses has actually become N versions. This has both good and bad consequences for Yi Zhonghai.

The good thing is that it is not so easy to distinguish the truth from the false among so much information, and the sub-district office cannot directly deal with Yi Zhonghai for a trumped-up charge. After all, it was just an accident that the matter was spread, and the sub-district office cannot make a fuss about something that has already been settled privately.

The downside is that Yi Zhonghai's reputation has been completely ruined. No matter which version it is, the bottom line is that Yi Zhonghai is a good-for-nothing. Now people point at him whenever he walks on the street.

Chen Xu felt that he had misjudged Yi Zhonghai. The old man did have a gloomy face every day, but he still went to work normally and ate and drank as usual. Apparently, reputation was not that important to this old man in the courtyard.

All I can say is that it had an impact on him, but not much. Without his reputation, that's all.

Although the residents of the courtyard house felt somewhat disdainful of this old man, Yi Zhonghai was still the big boss of the courtyard. Over the years, they had formed a habit and some people would still listen to what he said.

As for Liu Haizhong, it's not that Chen Xu looked down on the second uncle. When it comes to swinging a sledgehammer, Old Liu is an expert, and when it comes to the 108 ways of whipping with a belt, Yi Zhonghai can't compare to him, but his brain is really no match for Yi Zhonghai.

Unable to grasp such a good opportunity, Chen Xu felt that Liu Haizhong's dream of becoming a boss was hopeless in this life.
