Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

The third aunt nodded slightly, "You are right. With Shazhu's temper, if he knew you were lying to him, he would just beat you up instead of going to school and making a scene."

"But I still can't figure it out. We have no grudges against Liu Haizhong's family. Why would he help Sha Zhu to deal with you?"

Yan Bugui said coldly: "Why else? I was blocking Liu Haizhong's way!"

"Why are you blocking his way?" The third aunt looked puzzled.

"It's the way of the man in charge of the hospital!"

"Uncle in charge? You are only the third uncle, Yi Zhonghai is the first uncle. If anyone is blocking the way, it is Yi Zhonghai who is blocking his way. What does it have to do with you?"

Yan Bugui said coldly: "You think too simply of Liu Haizhong. He doesn't just want to be a big boss, he wants to be the only big boss in the compound."

"Unique uncle? What does that mean?"

"He is the only uncle in charge of the compound. There is no second uncle or third uncle anymore."

"Is Liu Haizhong so ambitious? Will the street director Fang agree?"

"Why not? Many compounds only have one uncle in charge. As long as Liu Haizhong can deal with me and Yi Zhonghai, he will be the only uncle in the compound."

"This guy Liu Haizhong is fat and has big ears. He looks harmless, but I didn't expect him to be so sinister. He first used Sha Zhu to plot against Yi Zhonghai, and now he's using Sha Zhu to plot against you..."

"I underestimated Liu Haizhong. He is really good at using a knife to kill someone!"

Yan Jiecheng suddenly complained, "Don't worry about Liu Haizhong, let's discuss first, is there any possibility of saving my job?"

Yan Bugui roared, "Shazhu hates me to death, and you still have a shitty job."

Yan Jiecheng complained: "Who can be blamed for this? I asked you to sincerely introduce Ran Qiuye to Sha Zhu, but you were afraid of offending Yi Zhonghai and said that Sha Zhu wouldn't find out. But what about now?"

"Not only did he offend Sha Zhu, he almost lost his job. He lost both the wife and the army."

"Do you know that a formal workstation is worth two or three hundred yuan? Just because you are stubborn and self-willed, you have ruined it all."

Yan Jiecheng's words were like rubbing salt into his wounds. Yan Bugui was so angry that he covered his chest and said, "How dare you talk to your father like that, you rebellious son?"

When Yan Jiefang and his two siblings saw their eldest brother arguing with their father, they trembled slightly and dared not say a word.

The third aunt said dissatisfiedly: "Jie Cheng, your father is already very sad, why are you still using words to provoke him!"

Yan Jiecheng said coldly: "He is greedy and loses the big picture for the small. It's all his own fault. Who can he blame?"

Yan Bugui shouted at the top of his lungs: "Rebellious son, get out of here..."

"Go away if you want to. Do you think I want to listen to your nonsense?"

After complaining, Yan Jiecheng turned and went into the bedroom, ready to go to bed.

"This is my home, get out of here."

"I paid for the accommodation, why can't I stay here?"

The third aunt hurriedly advised: "Old Yan, don't be angry with Jie Cheng. He said those angry words because he lost his job and was unhappy!"

Yan Bugui cursed angrily, "This evil creature is an ungrateful person. When he ate Shazhu's food, he was happier than anyone else. Now that something has happened, he puts all the blame on me. What a ruthless person."

"Okay, don't be angry. Think about what to do next. You won't have any salary for the next five months. We can't just starve to death, right?" The third aunt looked worried.

Yan Bugui suddenly thought of something, his face changed drastically, and he said anxiously: "Oh no, since Liu Haizhong is determined to plot against me, he must have a backup plan!"

Seeing Yan Bugui's serious face, the third aunt asked worriedly, "What's the backup plan?"

Yan Bugui said in a trembling voice: "Think about how Liu Haizhong plotted against Yi Zhonghai?"

The third aunt stammered, "You...you mean that Liu Haizhong will spread what you did and ruin your reputation!"

Yan Bugui paced back and forth, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, "Yes, as long as my reputation is ruined, Fang Changgui will definitely remove me from my position as the third uncle!"

The third aunt was so anxious that she almost cried, "Old Yan, it's already this late, and you are still thinking about your position as the third uncle. Think about how to keep your job first."

"If Liu Haizhong really spreads the news that you cheated Sha Zhu out of his money, the students' parents will definitely know the news. When that happens, they will collectively put pressure on the principal, and you will most likely lose your job!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui turned pale and sweat ran down his face. "No, I can't lose my job. I'm going to surrender to Liu Haizhong now. I hope it's not too late."

Yan Bugui rushed to Liu Haizhong's house as quickly as possible and found Liu Haizhong drunk and unconscious on the bed, and could not be woken up no matter how hard he shook him.

Yan Bugui frowned and said, "Second Aunt, what happened to Lao Liu? Why is he so drunk?"

The second aunt said with a bright smile: "Third uncle, you should know my Lao Liu. His greatest wish is to become an official. Today he finally got his wish. He was so happy that he drank a little more."

Yan Bugui's eyes turned colder, "What kind of official position did Lao Liu hold?"

The second aunt smiled and said, "Uncle, you don't know yet, but my old Liu has been promoted to the leader of the workshop team."

Yan Bugui's brows relaxed, "Then congratulations to Lao Liu!"

The second aunt smiled and said, "Thank you! Third uncle, my old Liu drank a little too much tonight and may not wake up for a while. If you have anything important to tell me, I will tell him as soon as he wakes up."

Yan Bugui smiled calmly, "My business is not urgent, I will come to see him tomorrow morning."

"OK then!"

"Then I'll go back first!"

The third aunt saw Yan Bugui coming back in less than five minutes and asked in confusion, "Why did you come back so soon? Did you reach an agreement with Liu Haizhong?"

Yan Bugui said depressedly: "Liu Haizhong is as drunk as a dead pig, there is no point in talking to him at all!"

The third aunt looked suspicious and asked, "Is Liu Haizhong pretending to be drunk?"

Yan Bugui shook his head and said, "No, I smelled him and he reeked of alcohol. He must be really drunk!"

"By the way, Second Aunt said that Liu Haizhong was promoted to team leader. Did you know about this?"

"I know! When Liu Haizhong came back in the evening, he was so proud, with firecrackers leading the way, and he looked so arrogant. People who didn't know him would think he was the mayor!" The third aunt mocked.

Yan Bugui frowned, "Strange, Yi Zhonghai has better skills than Liu Haizhong and joined the factory earlier, but Yi Zhonghai was not promoted, so why was Liu Haizhong promoted?"

The third aunt pursed her lips and said, "It is said that Liu Haizhong has trained many good apprentices!"

"Besides, Yi Zhonghai's reputation in the steel mill is worse than dog shit. How could he be promoted?"

A trace of fear flashed across Yan Bugui's eyes, "This Liu Haizhong is so cruel, he ruined Yi Zhonghai's reputation, but he continued to rise step by step..."
