Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

"Second Uncle, I'm sorry that I forgot to congratulate you on your promotion!" He Yuzhu said with a wry smile.

Liu Haizhong narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, "Thank you for your advice!"

"Second Uncle, you are too polite. You have thanked me so many times. Please don't thank me again." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "Okay, I won't be polite with you. I'll treat you to a drink some other day!"

He Yuzhu grinned and chuckled, "That's possible! Second uncle, you've been promoted to team leader, and Yi Zhonghai must be feeling uncomfortable. This hypocrite is famous for being jealous of talented people!"

"Zhu Zi, you guessed it right. When Director Guo announced me as the team leader, everyone congratulated me with a smile, but Yi Zhonghai had a dark face, as if his father had died."

"But that hypocrite is my subordinate now. I found an excuse to give him a good beating." Liu Haizhong said with a proud look on his face.

He Yuzhu was immediately interested when he heard this, "Second Master, how did you deal with Yi Zhonghai? Tell me in detail!"

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong recounted his glorious deeds in vivid detail.

After hearing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but pout and complained, "You are not dealing with Yi Zhonghai, you are clearly helping Qin Huairu, okay?"

"If you do this, Yi Zhonghai will have to do his best to teach Qin Huairu, whether for the sake of face or to keep his salary this month. Qin Huairu will definitely take off!"

He Yuzhu said calmly: "Second Master, although you punished Yi Zhonghai, you also indirectly helped Qin Huairu!"

Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "Zhu Zi, don't worry. I have observed Qin Huairu. This widow is not suitable for locksmithing. She also doesn't have a good attitude towards learning. I think she will not be able to meet my requirements."

He Yuzhu smiled, "Then I'm relieved. Widow Qin schemed against me like that, I don't want her to have an easy time."

"Don't worry, Zhuzi, your business is my business. Qin Huairu is working under me now, and I will teach him how to behave!" Liu Haizhong said with a wicked smile.

He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows and said, "Thank you very much, Second Master!"

Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "Okay! I'll tell you!"

He Yuzhu changed the subject and said, "Second Uncle, you are a leader now, you should buy yourself a bicycle so that you can be worthy of your status."

Liu Haizhong paused for a moment, then said seriously, "Zhu Zi, you are right. I should buy a bicycle."

"That's not a big deal. Once you have a bicycle, you will be two levels higher than Yi Zhonghai!" He Yuzhu boasted.

Liu Haizhong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said firmly: "I will buy it today!"

……

Ran's mother was worried that Ran Qiuye had been cheated, so she pulled Ran's father out of bed early in the morning and asked him to find out about He Yuzhu's situation.

Father Ran went out to have breakfast, then came to the street office leisurely and met Fang Changgui smoothly.

Fang Changgui asked in confusion: "Comrade, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Father Ran smiled and said, "Director Fang, let me introduce myself. My last name is Ran, and I'm a teacher at the night school. Excuse me for interrupting you, but I want to ask you about He Yuzhu's situation!"

"Hello, Mr. Ran. He Yuzhu, is there anything wrong with you?"

Fang Changgui did not doubt the identity of Ran's father. After all, he wore glasses, was well-dressed, and looked upright. He looked like a teacher at first glance.

Father Ran smiled and shook his head, "No, Comrade He Yuzhu applied to attend night school. According to the school rules, he will routinely investigate his basic situation."

Fang Changgui's brows relaxed and he sighed, "Alas, He Yuzhu is a miserable child. He lost his mother when he was very young. When he was twelve or thirteen, his father ran away with a widow, leaving the two siblings to depend on each other."

"In fact, I admire this kid very much. After being abandoned by his father, he took on the burden of the family. With his own hands, he not only raised his sister to be a high school student, but also worked his way up to the position of deputy director of the steel mill cafeteria..."

Fang Changgui calmly recounted He Yuzhu's past.

Father Ran stopped writing and asked, "I heard that Comrade He Yuzhu was having an affair with a widow?"

Fang Changgui was furious and said, "That gossipy woman is talking nonsense. This is absolutely a rumor."

"Zhuzi is a very kind child. Seeing that Qin Huairu in their courtyard had lost her husband and left behind three children, and that their lives were difficult, he often helped them. Who would have thought that someone with ulterior motives would spread the story like this."

"For this, I was furious and scolded the manager of their compound, and warned them not to spread rumors and cause trouble..."

Father Ran nodded slightly, then asked a few more questions and then said goodbye!

"Director Fang, I now understand almost everything. Thank you for telling me the truth!" Ran's father said with gratitude on his face.

"You're welcome. This is what I should do. Zhuzi has had a hard time. Since he is so ambitious, I hope your school can take care of him." Fang Changgui said in a humble manner.

Father Ran nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Director. Our school will give appropriate preferential treatment to such a determined and positive comrade!"

Fang Changgui raised his lips slightly, "Then I would like to thank your school on behalf of He Yuzhu!"

Father Ran smiled calmly, "No need! Director Fang, you seem to admire He Yuzhu very much?"

Fang Changgui smiled and nodded, "I really admire him. First, he is self-reliant and has an indomitable spirit. Second, he is kind-hearted, humble, polite, and grateful. Who wouldn't like such a child?"

Father Ran showed a sincere smile, "I like children like this too!"

Father Ran left the neighborhood office and walked straight to Hongxing Primary School.

……

Yan Bugui and his wife suffered heavy losses because Yan Bugui was severely punished by the school. Neither of them had a good rest. When they got up, they found that Liu Haizhong had already gone to work.

Yan Bugui said angrily: "You lazy woman, why did you get up now? You don't do anything all day, and you can't even provide three meals a day on time?"

The third aunt retorted: "Can you blame me for this? If you hadn't kept me awake last night by tossing and turning, would I have gotten up late?"

Yan Bugui glared at the three aunts, sighed, and turned around to wash up.

After washing up, Yan Bugui rushed to school without even having breakfast.

After a day of fermentation of yesterday's incident, basically all the teachers knew about his evil deeds. No one paid any attention to him. Even when he came forward to greet them with a shameless face, they pretended not to see it.

Yan Bugui was dejected and disheartened. He knew that he was isolated by all the teachers and hated He Yuzhu even more.

Yan Bugui was too embarrassed to stay in the teacher's office any longer, so he took his textbook and went to the third grade class one that he taught.

When Yan Bugui came to the classroom to teach, he suddenly found that the students no longer had awe for him, but looked at him with contempt, which made him feel very uneasy.

Yan Bugui roared in his heart, "Didn't the principal issue a gag order? How did these students know about this? How can I teach them?"
