Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

"Old Yan, you've also heard what Xu Damao is shouting about, right? I think we should hold a meeting for the entire hospital to criticize this behavior. We can't let him bring shame to our entire hospital."

Yan Bugui said nothing. This kind of thing was thankless and might even offend Xu Damao, so he didn't want to do it! Moreover, every time Xu Damao came back from the countryside, he would give him some useful information, so he had no reason to discipline him.

But looking at the situation today, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong have bad intentions. If I don't agree, they will hold a meeting themselves.

"Old Liu, isn't it too much to call a meeting of the entire hospital? Wouldn't it be better to let Xu Damao apologize to the Jia family privately and then compensate them?"

Seeing that Yan Bugui was somewhat dissatisfied with holding the meeting, Liu Haizhong became a little anxious. If he didn't hold the meeting, how could he, as the manager, show his authority?

"Oh, Old Yan, this matter is no longer a conflict between the two families. It is now related to the interests of our entire hospital. Whether we can be selected as an advanced courtyard by the end of the year depends on this."

"Yes, Old Yan, we can't let this kind of evil trend spread in the courtyard." Yi Zhonghai said righteously.

Yan Bugui looked at Yi Zhonghai and didn't want to say anything. You, Yi Zhonghai, are the most capable of doing evil things in this hospital, and you still have the nerve to criticize others.

"Okay, I agree. Let's call a meeting of the whole hospital." Yan Bugui finally agreed, but he was saying in his heart: "Xu Damao, it's not that the Third Uncle doesn't want to help you. I have tried my best. As for how much you have to pay this time, it depends on your ability."

After dinner in the evening, everyone in the courtyard gathered together. Of course, Xu Damao, who had a bruised face and nose, was also brought by Xu Fugui to attend the meeting.

After a heated debate, it was finally decided that Xu Damao would compensate the Jia family 10 yuan and not spread rumors about the Jia family anymore. As for Sha Zhu, since he had already beaten Xu Damao, the two owed each other nothing, and the two sides could not conflict over this matter again.

Of course Xu Damao and Sha Zhu were not convinced and both wanted to retaliate secretly.

Sha Zhu wanted to put Xu Damao in a sack, while Xu Damao wanted to publicize his deeds for Sha Zhu.

There was another person who was just watching silently. It was He Yushui, who was in junior high school. At this time, He Yushui was thin and small, and did not have the vitality that should be possessed by this age.

It was okay in the past few years. Yi Zhonghai's family and Sha Zhu were pretty good to He Yushui. At least she had enough to eat. But ever since Qin Huairu married into the Jia family, Sha Zhu changed. He would stare at Qin Huairu no matter what, and he didn't even care about his own sister.

Seeing that Sha Zhu himself was not good enough to treat He Yushui well, Yi Zhonghai secretly told Aunt Yi not to take too much care of He Yushui. Aunt Yi was kind-hearted and often helped He Yushui secretly, which prevented He Yushui from starving to death.

But hatred was also quietly growing in He Yushui's heart. She knew that what Xu Damao said was true. Her silly brother was just like her father and liked other people's wives. She was powerless to change anything now. She just wanted to graduate quickly, find a job and escape from here.

After the meeting, Yan Bugui called Yan Jiecheng to the main hall again and asked, "Jiecheng, have you decided which job you want to choose?"

Yan Jiecheng was torn. He wanted a high salary but didn't want to suffer. The warehouse manager had a low salary but was not tired. The buyer had to go to the countryside every day. Although the salary was high, it was tiring.

Seeing that Yan Jiecheng didn't say anything, Yan Bugui didn't urge him either. He just let him think quietly. After all, work means a lifetime thing and he can't be careless.

After a long while, Yan Jiecheng raised his head and said, "Dad, are there any other jobs? I don't want to do either of these two jobs."

Yan Bugui was so proud that he fell backwards. "Do you think your father is a factory director? He has other jobs, so which one should you choose? Or you can just continue to do odd jobs."

Seeing that his father was really anxious, Yan Jiecheng also became scared. He had finally found a job, and he must not lose it.

"Dad, don't be angry, I'm just asking. I choose the buyer."

Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jiecheng again and said, "Okay, since you have made the decision, then work hard from now on. Don't fish for three days and dry the net for two days."

"I know dad."

Yan Jiefang, who had been silent, said, "Dad, can you give me the remaining job?"

The whole family looked at Yan Jiefang in unison, "Jiefang, why do you want to work? You are only 14 years old, and you don't need it."

"Dad, I'm just thinking about saving money first. I'll go to work when I graduate from junior high school."

"You're still two years away from graduating from junior high school. How can we wait for you?" Yan Bugui said unhappily.

This second son is really good at making trouble. "Okay, this matter is settled."

Just like that, the Yan family's problem was solved. The next morning, Yan Bugui knocked on the door of Li Tian's family.

"Uncle, have you thought about this?"

"Tianyi, Uncle Three has decided to let Yan Jiecheng be the buyer."

Li Tianyi thought for a moment and then said, "Uncle San, you also know that buyers have to go to the countryside frequently, so it's very tiring."

"I know, this is the job."

Seeing that Yan Bugui had made up his mind, Li Tianyi didn't know what to say, so he took the 800 yuan and said, "Okay, I'll go find someone, you wait for my news."

Yan Bugui looked at the 800 yuan reluctantly, his heart bleeding. Finally, he made up his mind and turned away.

After entering the factory, Li Tianyi did not go to the technical department first, but went to Li Huaide, who had just started working at the company.

"Tianyi, why are you here?"

"Director Li, my neighbor has decided to be the purchasing agent. Here are the expenses."

Then he took out 800 yuan and handed it to Li Huaide. Li Huaide did not take the money and said, "Tianyi, keep this money. Just think of it as pocket money from your uncle."

"How can this be possible? You and my aunt have already given me a gift for meeting me. I can't accept it."

Although Li Huaide said a lot of nice things, Li Tianyi just refused to accept the money. Li Huaide had no choice but to put the money in the drawer.

Then he took out a piece of paper and wrote a letter of introduction to Li Tianyi. Li Tianyi went to the technical department after getting the letter of introduction, while Li Huaide looked at the 800 yuan and fell into deep thought.

It turned out that last night, he and his wife went to his father-in-law's house. During the meal, Li Huaide told his father-in-law about his nephew Li Tianyi's marriage.

At first his wife didn't take it seriously, but when she heard that he was marrying the little princess of the Shen family, she immediately became upset.

His father-in-law also hurriedly asked for clarification, and only after getting Li Huaide's confirmation did his father-in-law breathe a sigh of relief and admonished: "Huaide, you must have a good relationship with your brother's family. Your nephew will have unlimited potential in the future."

Li Huaide naturally understood what his father-in-law meant. Tonight was the first time in all these years that he felt proud.
