Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

"Then old man, what should we do next?" The third aunt's face became more and more worried as she listened, and she asked anxiously.

"Old Yi is no longer reliable. At least in the next six months, he won't be Wang Dong's opponent..."

"The plenary session just now has already voted to pass his proposal. In the future, when we hold plenary sessions, we must first vote in the front, middle, and back courtyards separately. If anyone does not want to participate, they do not have to attend."

"There are a total of four families standing on Wang Dong's side in our front yard."

"From now on, if the three of us want to hold a general meeting, as long as Wang Dong and these four families disagree, we in the front yard can choose not to participate."

"Old Yi wants to deal with Wang Dong through a general meeting, win over people's hearts, isolate Wang Dong, and drive him out of the courtyard."

"At least not until this problem is resolved."

"Life is getting harder and harder now. Our Yan family has a large population. If we don't want to starve, we must get something from outside."

The third aunt frowned and replied: "It's easier said than done..."

"Every family in the yard is in trouble now. We can't even get enough to eat. What can you calculate?"

Hearing this, Yan Fugui's face quickly flashed with a smug expression, and then he said: "You don't understand this..."

"There are indeed many residents in the courtyard who are in difficult situations just like us, but there are also people who are not in difficult situations..."

"As long as you are thick-skinned enough, you will definitely be able to figure something out."

…………

The next night, Wang Dong and Tang Dashan went home from a banquet as usual, carrying a box of leftovers packed by the host, one for each of them.

Although the meat inside had been eaten by the customers, it was still very oily.

Go back and add some cabbage and radish, and it will definitely be a great stew.

From a distance, I could see Yan Fugui tending to his flowers and plants at the gate of the courtyard. He would look outside the yard from time to time to make sure if anyone had returned home.

The moment he saw Wang Dong, Yan Fugui's face was covered with a smile. He looked at the three people with a happy face and said: "Dongzi, Dashan, Longfei...you are back..."

"There are so many people in our courtyard, but you three young people are the most promising... Every time you come home from outside, you can bring back some leftovers..."

"It's been a long time since I smelled the smell of meat in Uncle San's house..."

"Dongzi..."

"You're going to give these leftovers to others anyway, why not give them to Uncle Three tonight..."

"Uncle San hasn't eaten your cooking for a long time."

"How about letting the Third Master have some meat tonight?"

Tang Dashan and Huang Longfei both knew that the Third Uncle had plotted against Wang Dong twice at the general meeting.

The relationship between the two sides is no longer what it used to be. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as rivals.

I didn’t expect Yan Fugui to be so shameless that he even had the nerve to ask Wang Dong for leftovers.

If Wang Dong hadn't been standing nearby, the two disciples would have definitely scolded Yan Fugui.

But the two of them still turned their attention to Wang Dong. As long as he opened his mouth, even if Yan Fugui was the third uncle in the courtyard, they would teach him a lesson.

"Uncle San... there are many people in this yard who have never eaten meat..."

"There are even more people outside the courtyard who haven't eaten meat for months...

"I am just an ordinary citizen. I can only take care of myself. I certainly can't take care of others."

"If you want to eat meat, you can buy it yourself..."

"If there's nothing in the market, go to the pigeon market. Although the price is a bit high, with your salary and family background, you can still buy a few pounds of meat."

Yan Fugui's face flushed red after being mocked by Wang Dong, and he was about to get angry subconsciously. But in order to get the meat and vegetables from Wang Dong and restore the relationship between the two families, he finally endured it and replied with a wry smile on his face: "Dongzi..."

"Are you kidding me, Uncle?"

"Uncle only earns more than 20 yuan a month, and he has to support a family of so many people. He is lucky to have enough food to eat. How can he have any wealth..."

"The Third Master is counting on the leftovers you bring back to eat..."

"These leftovers are for others anyway, why not give them to Uncle Third..."

"The Third Master will definitely remember your kindness and will find a way to repay you in the future..."

Wang Dong snorted coldly and replied: "Repay..."

"Uncle, I think you are wrong, right?"

"I've given you a lot of leftovers before, and sometimes when I go fishing, I'll give you some small fish..."

"In the end, not only did I not see any reward, but I had to wait for your revenge..."

"You stabbed me, your benefactor, in the back at the general meeting, and you took revenge on me more than once..."

"I have given leftovers to many people in the yard. Even if they didn't repay me, they would at least be grateful to me in their hearts. They would always come forward to help me when I needed help."

"You are the only one who didn't stand up to help me when I needed you. Instead, you took advantage of my misfortune and retaliated against me when I needed you the most..."

"You're in this state, and you still want my leftovers. I don't know where you got the nerve to do that."

"Get out of the way! Don't force me to curse at the gate. I want to go home..."

Wang Dong said this, and no matter how dumb Yan Fugui was, he could tell that the relationship between the two families would not be eased in a short period of time.

I could only sigh and leave the door.

…………

The front yard of the quadrangle.

Seeing Yan Fugui going home with a frown on his face, Tang Dashan immediately showed a worried expression: "Master...will there be any problems if we offend the Third Master like this..."

Wang Dong was not surprised that Tang Dashan and Huang Feilong had such thoughts.

The three uncles have been the patriarchs of the four courtyards for too long, and they have always had the final say and put everyone under their thumb.

Although Yi Zhonghai and his men have lost their reputation in the courtyard, many residents still have a little fear of them in their hearts, thinking that they are the uncles appointed by the street, representing the street and are officials.

I am just an ordinary citizen.

In addition, there has been a saying since ancient times that the people should not fight against the officials, so they will definitely not completely put aside their concerns about Yi Zhonghai and others in a short period of time.

Seeing that both of them were looking at him with worry, Wang Dong answered with a confident expression in order to reassure them: "What's there to be afraid of..."

"We can choose Yan Fugui as the current headmaster, or we can choose someone else as the chief headmaster."

"If Yan Fugui really intends to take revenge on us as the Third Uncle, I don't mind asking the street to replace him from the Third Uncle position."

"Besides, what I just said is absolutely correct and not exaggerated. Why would Yan Fugui retaliate against us?"

"Moreover……"

"The leftovers in the lunch box are all earned by our own ability. Why do you suddenly want them back?"

"If it weren't for what happened before, I might still give it to him."

"Since you have done something to retaliate against us, don't think you can just write it off with a few words. There is no such thing in the world." (End of this chapter)
