Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

When the people who worked in the courtyard dragged their tired bodies back to the courtyard, they received very bad news. It was said that a general meeting of the whole courtyard would be held, which made the neighbors who were off work in the courtyard very speechless. Working in the factory during the day was already very tiring, and Yi Zhonghai had to torment them at night, which was simply abominable.

Xu Damao went to a village near Sijiu City to show a movie today. Although he was going to get married soon, he couldn't delay his work. He was exhausted and wanted to go home to have a good rest, but he found out that there was going to be a whole hospital meeting. He was furious.

He said to Liu Haizhong impatiently, "Uncle Er, are you guys done yet? We are exhausted after a day's work. I just want to go home and lie down on my bed. I don't want to hold any damn general meeting." The young workers who were watching the excitement nodded one after another. Naturally, the prestige of the three uncles in charge was not as high as in the original book.

Liu Haizhong's face looked a little ugly. Why didn't Yi Zhonghai discuss the matter of holding a meeting of the whole institute with him, the second uncle in charge? He was very angry, but as the three uncles in charge stood together, Liu Haizhong naturally couldn't undermine Yi Zhonghai's plan.

He said to Xu Damao mercilessly, "Hey, I'm Xu Damao! Our steward is the manager of the courtyard, how can you say such things? It's just a general meeting of the courtyard, why are you making such a fuss! Okay, shut up, everyone go to the middle courtyard later."

After saying this, Liu Haizhong walked towards Yi Zhonghai's house with a big belly. This made Xu Damao very angry. Xu Damao felt that Liu Haizhong was really a villain. He spitted and pushed his bicycle home with a dark face.

Liu Haizhong walked into Yi Zhonghai's house with a swagger, and said to Yi Zhonghai in a somewhat unhappy tone, "Old Yi, why don't you discuss such a big matter as holding a meeting of the whole courtyard with me, the second uncle in charge? If you act in this way, how can I, Liu Haizhong, manage these neighbors in the courtyard in the future?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled awkwardly. Old lady Long's voice came from the inner room of Yi Zhonghai's house and seemed to say, "Liu Haizhong, this general meeting was requested by me, old lady. Do you have anything else to say?" Liu Haizhong was startled. He saw Bai Xiuying supporting Old lady Long and walking out of the inner room.

Liu Haizhong was still very scared of the oldest person in the courtyard. He had heard that Old Lady Long had a backer, so he pursed his lips, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Oh, it turns out that you, the old lady, want to hold a meeting for the whole courtyard. Of course, that's fine."

Old Lady Long was very satisfied with Liu Haizhong's attitude, and felt that those troublemakers in the courtyard should be as respectful to her as Liu Haizhong. But Old Lady Long also knew that this was impossible, and she felt a little sad. "I wonder what you want to do by holding this general meeting? Can you give me a hint in advance?" Old Lady Long asked tentatively.

Old Mrs. Long squinted her eyes and looked at Liu Haizhong. After thinking for a while, she said, "Tomorrow is my 60th birthday. I plan to have some fun in our courtyard." When Liu Haizhong heard that there would be delicious food at the 60th birthday banquet, he thought it was a great thing.

Liu Haizhong nodded quickly with a smile on his old face and said, "Oh, old lady, you are really old. Okay, okay, I will go to Lao Yan right away to have a good talk and make sure that everything is arranged properly for your birthday tomorrow."

Old lady Long nodded in satisfaction, showing her toothless mouth and said with a smile, "Well, it's very good! Then I'll wait for it." After Liu Haizhong left, Yi Zhonghai came over. Looking at Old Lady Long with a somewhat ugly expression, Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Old lady, do we really want to do this?"

Old Madam Long snorted coldly and said, "Are you reluctant to part with the money in your hand? It doesn't matter. I can pay for the birthday banquet myself. I can also use your name. If your reputation spreads, your prestige in the courtyard will be the highest. Then you can teach those disobedient people in the courtyard a lesson. Isn't that good?"

Yi Zhonghai thought about it, and a look of realization appeared on his face. Old Lady Long then said, "Xiao Yi, you have to think long-term about some things. There is no need to haggle over a little money. If you have the final say in the courtyard, you will have the final say in the courtyard from now on. Forget about retirement, you can do whatever you want!"

Yi Zhonghai felt that what the old lady said made sense, so he squinted his eyes and nodded and said, "You are right, old lady. OK, I will pay for your birthday this time." Old lady Long had a hint of joy in her eyes, but after thinking about it, she said to Yi Zhonghai, "Wouldn't it be bad to say this?"

Yi Zhonghai quickly smiled and said, "Look at what you said. Isn't it my duty as Yi Zhonghai to be filial and respectful to my elders? Let's make it a deal. All the expenses for your wedding banquet will be paid by me, Yi Zhonghai."

Old lady Long was so happy that her teeth were exposed and her eyes were narrowed. She nodded with a smile. Bai Xiuying was a little unhappy. It seemed that her old man would bleed again. Old lady Long thought about Sha Zhu's cooking skills and said, "This time, we can let Sha Zhu prepare the meal. Although that guy has stopped associating with us, at least his cooking skills are really good. Zhong Hai, tell this matter to the whole hospital meeting later."

"If the people in our courtyard heard about this kind of good deal, they would definitely be happy to let Sha Zhu cook for them. If Sha Zhu really dares not to help, then he will be the enemy of all of us in the courtyard."

Yi Zhonghai nodded with a smile, gave the old lady a thumbs up and said, "Gao, you are really great, I am convinced." In Yi Zhonghai's mind, another idea came to his mind. The expenses for the old lady's birthday must be considerable, and he felt that this matter of filial piety should not be borne by him alone.

The people in the courtyard can't just watch, they must be taught a lesson. Especially that abominable Shazhu, he will hold a donation meeting later, if he dares not to donate, then he is disrespectful to the elderly and the young. Such people must be punished, otherwise how can the other people in the courtyard take care of them and their husbands and wives when they are old?
