Siheyuan: I stand for Xu Damao because he is my brother

It was almost 7 o'clock when Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui all arrived.

One of them held an enamel mug, there were two tea leaves in Yi Zhonghai's cup, and the other two held only plain water.

Tea is so expensive, are they willing to buy it?

After waiting for a while, Xu Damao carefully supported Lou Xiao'e and came late, just like Xiao Maozi supporting the old Buddha.

The two of them sat next to Xu Dacan and the others. Before anyone else could do anything, Liu Haizhong started to complain: "Xu Damao, what time is it? You are becoming more and more disorganized and undisciplined!"

Before Xu Damao could speak, Xu Dacan stood up and said to him, "Hey, hey, hey, who are you talking about? Who do you think you are?"

"You!" Liu Hai slammed the table angrily.

But Xu Dacan was even more arrogant than him: "What do you mean by 'you'? You are an old man who is about to retire, why are you pretending to be so important? My brother is a regular 22nd-level cadre, a section officer, with a monthly salary of 57 yuan, and he is your leader!"

As soon as Xu Dacan finished speaking, the yard suddenly became noisy.

"What? Isn't Xu Damao a clerk?"

"You don't even understand this, he got promoted!"

"My goodness, the monthly salary is 57 yuan, and Sha Zhu only makes 37 yuan..."

"It's too late. Sha Zhu can only receive an apprentice salary now, which is only 18 yuan a month!"

"..."

Xu Damao pretended to flick off the non-existent dust on his sleeves, feeling very happy. It feels so good to have a mouth replacement!

Xu Damao inadvertently pretended to be cool: "Well, don't talk about factory matters in the yard, otherwise I will have to sit on that table, which is not good. I don't want to be separated from the masses."

The phrase "separated from the masses" was said by Li Huaide last time. What a brilliant idea! Xu Damao remembered it immediately.

If these words were spoken in later generations, people would have cursed all eighteen generations of their ancestors.

But in this day and age, especially when you say it to this courtyard, it seems like you are aware!

So, Li Xianying flattered Xu Damao and said, "As expected of a leader, you speak differently. Unlike some people who have been working for most of their lives but haven't even gotten a small official position, yet they love to act like leaders in our hospital!"

This was a slap in the face to Liu Haizhong, but the strange thing was that Liu Haizhong clearly heard it but pretended not to hear it.

So much so that later he became "Team Leader Liu" and came back to the yard to tie up Sha Zhu and arrest Lou Xiao'e. No one else dared to say a word.

It was Li Xianying again, who cursed him in front of him: "If you have the ability, use it on outsiders! What's the point of only causing trouble for your neighbors?"

This has already been publicly slapped in the face, but Liu Haizhong still pretends not to hear it...

This is interesting. The relationship between them is not simple, right? Xu Dacan decided to dig deeper into the story.

"..."

Yi Zhonghai, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at Liu Haizhong with annoyance. He was more likely to cause trouble than to help others!

Yi Zhonghai cleared his throat, and the yard instantly became quiet.

Yi Zhonghai looked around, then glanced at Liu Haizhong proudly in his heart, see, this is called prestige.

Old Liu has no prestige. Even if he were to become an official of a small rank, he would still be nothing.

Yi Zhonghai said, "What time is it? Where is He Yuzhu?"

Yan Bugui said to his second son Yan Jiefang, "Go, tell Sha Zhu to come to the meeting quickly."

Yan Jiefang was unhappy: "Dad, why don't you go? That idiot Zhu just curses people, and he will curse me to death later. Whoever wants to go can go, but I'm not going!"

"You you you..." Yan Bugui was so angry that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong looked at him with disdain: "What kind of nonsense is this? You're still teaching, but you can't even teach your own son well."

After that, Yi Zhonghai called out his name directly: "Qin Huairu, go and ask Zhuzi to come to the meeting quickly. Tell him that we are all here to help him solve his problem. If he doesn't appreciate it, then don't come."

Yi Zhonghai is much more capable than both of them.

Qin Huairu's face still worked well with Sha Zhu. After a while, Sha Zhu came with a gloomy face, following Qin Huairu.

There was a seat in the middle reserved for Sha Zhu, which was equivalent to the "defendant's seat" in the court later.

Shazhu just sat there, crossed his legs, and said nothing.

Yi Zhonghai then got to the point: "Everyone is here, let's start the meeting. Everyone is quiet. The main purpose of today's meeting is to talk about the problems between He Yuzhu and Yan Jiecheng, and help them resolve conflicts and defuse contradictions."

Yan Bugui was about to retort when Yi Zhonghai pinched him under the table, causing him to almost cry due to the pain.

Yi Zhonghai gave him a "fierce" warning look, and then continued: "Everyone knows Zhuzi, and many people have watched him grow up. Let me be fair here, he is not a bad person, but he has a bad temper and a bad mouth, which makes him easy to offend people!"

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai shouted at Sha Zhu in a stern voice: "You have to change this bad habit of yours! You are in your forties, how come you can't even control your temper? Stand up right there!"

Xu Dacan was watching from the side in amazement and subconsciously poked Liu Yueru beside him.

As a result, Liu Yueru ignored her. Xu Dacan poked her with his elbow again. After noticing something was wrong, she turned her head to look over.

Liu Yueru's face was as if covered with a layer of candied haws crust. She lowered her head and dared not breathe.

Xu Dacan coughed dryly and whispered to her, "What a skilled moral kidnapping."

Liu Yueru then said in a mosquito-like voice: "This is much more clever than the methods I encountered before."

Xu Dacan said: "See, this is the reserved program of this hospital - the general meeting of the whole hospital. Three uncles sit there, one plays the good guy, one plays the bad guy, and one is skilled in moral blackmail. It's like a game to control a fool."

The two were chatting excitedly when they heard a voice from the side: "What are you talking about? It's so lively, let me listen too."

This damn familiar feeling scared Xu Dacan so much that he almost stood up and stood at the back.

After a closer look, it turned out to be Lou Xiao'e! Xu Dacan explained to her: "I am explaining the methods of these three old guys to Yueru."

Lou Xiao'e glared at him in reproach and whispered, "Be careful or those three old guys will hear it!"

Xu Dacan and Liu Yueru smiled at the same time. Liu Yueru asked her in confusion, "Sister-in-law, why do we have to hold a meeting just because they three said so?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at the people in the yard and said with disdain: "Why? It's because of the herd mentality. When you are young, you listen to your parents. When you go to school, you listen to your teachers. After you get married, you listen to your wife. When you are old, you listen to your children..."

Lou Xiao'e paused and said, "These people no longer have their own opinions. They are used to having others make decisions for them."

Liu Yueru frowned as she heard this: "What if they target me like this in the future?"

Lou Xiao'e sneered: "You treat them as human beings, but they are the human beings; right, Dacan?"
