Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Although Liu Haizhong was happy, he did not forget that these few days were the critical moment for him to reap the benefits and be elected as the boss of the courtyard.

When he heard something was happening in the yard, his face immediately became serious and he quickly asked, "What is the rumor about me?"

"They said you were rated as an advanced worker in the steel rolling mill and a seventh-level forger in the steel rolling mill. Yi Zhonghai is only an eighth-level fitter in the steel rolling mill, and he has no other identity..."

"They also said that Yi Zhonghai had arbitrarily framed the residents at several previous meetings of the courtyard, favored He Yuzhu and the Jia family, and brought shame to our courtyard. He is no longer qualified to be the head of our courtyard..."

"As the second uncle in the courtyard, you should restore order and replace Yi Zhonghai as the new first uncle of our courtyard..."

"What..." Liu Haizhong got angry after hearing this.

"Who spread these words? Isn't this going to alienate the relationship between me and Lao Yi?"

Although Liu Haizhong was determined to replace Yi Zhonghai's position as the boss, he did not want to have an open conflict with Yi Zhonghai. Otherwise, he would not have spread rumors to instigate Wang Dong to fight against Yi Zhonghai, while he hid behind the scenes and reaped the benefits.

This new rumor in the yard was obviously intended to push himself to the opposite side of Yi Zhonghai, so that he could confront Yi Zhonghai head-on and have a direct conflict with him.

This is definitely not the result Liu Haizhong wants to face. He wants to know who is plotting against him in the yard as soon as possible.

Facing Liu Haizhong's scorching gaze, a hint of fear quickly flashed across the second aunt's face.

Maybe because Liu Haizhong is a blacksmith, he is very strong.

In addition, Liu Haizhong is the head of the family. The entire Liu family, whether it is the second aunt or the two children, all have a deep-seated fear of Liu Haizhong, fearing that he will lose his temper and hit people.

This is also an important reason why the second aunt dare not intervene every time Liu Haizhong teaches his children a lesson.

Liu Haizhong got so angry that he didn't care whether the other person was his son or his wife. He picked up a stick and hit the other person.

But Liu Haizhong had to answer, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "I don't know who spread the rumor. I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy eggs this afternoon, and I heard this rumor when I came back..."

Liu Haizhong immediately turned his attention to his two sons and asked anxiously, "Do you two know who spread these rumors?"

Seeing his two sons shaking their heads, Liu Haizhong got angry: "You don't know this, you don't know that, so what's the use of me having you?"

"Don't even eat tonight, you two are just trash..."

The two sons of the Liu family felt very aggrieved and felt like they were being blamed.

The two of them didn't say a word, and suddenly dinner was gone.

But Liu Haizhong's words were like an imperial decree at home. No matter how aggrieved they felt, as long as Liu Haizhong had made a decision, all they could do was obey, otherwise they would definitely be beaten.

They would rather go hungry than be beaten.

The second aunt continued: "Old man..."

"In addition to the dazzling rumor of instigating you to replace Yi Zhonghai as the head of the courtyard, there are also rumors that Wang Dong is too young. If he becomes the head of the courtyard, the elders in the courtyard will have to obey the younger generation's discipline. These are unruly rumors..."

"Who is it? Who is ruining my plan..." Liu Haizhong slammed his fist on the table in front of him and cursed loudly.

If Wang Dong loses the chance in the next Siheyuan election because he is too young and fails to take the position of the uncle under Yi Zhonghai, how can he reap the benefits and take the opportunity to become the uncle of the Siheyuan?

The more Liu Haizhong thought about it, the more anxious he became. The anger on his face became more and more intense. He slammed his fist on the table and said, "Old Yi..." "These rumors in the yard must have been spread by Old Yi."

"He was afraid that Wang Dong would be elected as the Grand Master of the Siheyuan and would push him down from the position of Grand Master."

"They deliberately spread rumors in the courtyard about Wang Dong's various problems and faults in his candidacy for Siheyuan Master, in order to prevent him from running..."

"As long as Wang Dong doesn't jump out when our courtyard re-elects the leader, with his status as an eighth-level fitter and a steel mill fitter examiner, he will definitely get more votes than me in the end..."

"What a powerful Yi Zhonghai, he deserves to be the master in our courtyard for such a long time."

At this moment, the second aunt suddenly said: "Old man..."

"Speaking of Old Yi from the Middle Courtyard..."

"Last night I went to the middle courtyard to fetch water and saw Lao Yi coming out of the deaf old lady's house in the dark. Do you think the deaf old lady had any ideas here?"

Liu Haizhong answered confidently: "Almost 100% sure..."

"Although the old deaf man is old, he is not confused. On the contrary, he is very cunning. He helped Yi Zhonghai out of trouble in many general meetings. Otherwise, Yi Zhonghai would have fallen from his position as the master of the courtyard long ago."

"You old fool, why don't you just stay at home and wait for death? You are already buried up to your neck in the dirt, yet you still stand out and give advice to Yi Zhonghai."

"I was thinking about taking care of him before, after all, we live in the backyard."

"Since you chose to help Yi Zhonghai come here to deal with me, don't even think about getting any care from me in the backyard today."

After saying that, he told the second aunt beside him: "Starting tomorrow..."

"Just pretend that the old deaf man doesn't exist in the backyard. Do what you need to do and don't help him with anything."

The second aunt nodded, then asked with a worried look on her face: "Then is there still hope for you to be the head of our courtyard?"

Liu Haizhong answered without thinking: "Of course..."

"In the past year, Wang Dong has fought against Yi Zhonghai several times. No matter how Yi Zhonghai prepared, he always ended up in a miserable defeat. I believe this time will be no exception."

"As long as Wang Dong takes action and participates in the Siheyuan's master election, Yi Zhonghai will definitely be replaced."

"As the second uncle in the courtyard, since Wang Dong is too young and inexperienced to be the first uncle, it is only natural for me to become the new first uncle of the courtyard."

"So as long as we can convince Wang Dong to run for election, the position of the eldest uncle will be a sure thing."

"As for the comments in the yard about me and slandering Wang Dong, although they will cause some harm to Wang Dong and me, the impact is not significant."

"On the contrary, it helped me to promote the re-election of the master of the Siheyuan to a certain extent."

"The more chaotic the courtyard is, the more urgent it is for us to re-elect the master."

"Only by electing a new Siheyuan boss as soon as possible can the chaotic Siheyuan be stabilized again."

"Tomorrow I will find the street office and try to hold a general meeting in the courtyard in the next two days. Under the witness of the street office, we will elect three new masters for our courtyard." (End of this chapter)
