Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

The east wing of the front yard.

As soon as Wang Dong helped Chen Dehui into the house, he couldn't help but sigh: "Uncle..."

"You were so impressive at the whole hospital meeting just now. Not only did you handle the problem clearly, but you also scared Yi Zhonghai so much that his face turned pale. He couldn't say a word and left the front yard in disgrace."

"I just saw the way the residents in the yard looked at you changed."

"Before, everyone just treated you as an elder, but after what happened just now, everyone has begun to recognize you as an uncle. Seeing your fairness and justice, they trust you more and more."

Chen Dehui smiled and replied: "As the saying goes, a new official starts with three things..."

"Although a master in a courtyard cannot be called an official."

"But since the residents of the courtyard have chosen me as the head of the family, I have the responsibility to change the atmosphere in the courtyard and let the residents know that there is still fairness and justice in our courtyard."

"As for Yi Zhonghai..."

"If a tiger doesn't show its might, you would think I'm a sick cat."

"Only by letting him see my strengths and weaknesses and teaching him a profound lesson will he not dare to deal with us easily in the future."

"besides……"

"After what happened today, my position as an uncle is now secure."

"As long as nothing unexpected happens, even if Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were to join forces, their prestige would not be as high as mine."

"If you want to do something bad in the yard or plot against someone in the future, you must be more cautious."

Wang Dong knew that Uncle Chen had one more thing he hadn't said yet, which was to help him.

Uncle Chen is his future father-in-law. With the support of Uncle Chen, a senior official, Yi Zhonghai will definitely not dare to cause trouble to him or plot against him in the yard in the future.

In this way, he could concentrate on dealing with the affairs of the steel mill and change his worker status to cadre status as soon as possible.

…………

The west wing of the central courtyard.

He Yuzhu got angry and didn't care about Yi Zhonghai's mood at the moment. He started complaining as soon as he entered the door: "Godfather..."

"I can accept any apology or compensation red envelopes given to other residents in the courtyard."

"Why should I apologize to that bastard Xu Damao?"

"He can slander me in front of my blind date and spread rumors about me, so what's wrong with me spreading rumors about him in the yard..."

"Besides, Xu Damao has no children. It is a fact that he has no descendants. I am not lying."

He Yuzhu is a person who speaks without thinking. When he said that Xu Damao had no descendants, he forgot that Yi Zhonghai also had no descendants. It was equivalent to scolding him and exposing his scars with what he just said.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes turned red on the spot, and he yelled at He Yuzhu without any hesitation: "Get out..."

"Get out of here right now... I don't want to see you again today..."

He Yuzhu looked confused when he was scolded, but he could feel that Yi Zhonghai was furious.

What's more, the other party is his godfather, and he cannot leave Yi Zhonghai. Although he feels aggrieved, he can only lower his head and leave in a hurry.

At seven o'clock in the evening, when He Yuzhu locked himself in the room and sulked, Yi Zhonghai pushed open the door and walked in.

A few hours passed and the anger on Yi Zhonghai's face had obviously subsided.

Sitting on the stool, he said to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi..."

"I must punish you more severely for what happened today, otherwise I will completely lose my reputation in Siheyuan, and I might even lose my position as the second uncle..."

"I've asked your godmother to pay for Xu Damao and the others. You can go and apologize later."

"I know you're not convinced, but a little impatience can ruin a big plan."

"No matter how angry you are, no matter how upset you are with Xu Damao, you have to endure it now."

"You are currently under disciplinary action. Any small incident may increase the severity of the punishment imposed on you by the steel mill or the street." "You want revenge..."

"You must first resolve the punishment on you and have a higher status than Xu Damao."

"Look at Wang Dong, he's much younger than Xu Damao, but Xu Damao is always polite to him every time he sees him."

"Do you know why?"

Seeing He Yuzhu stunned on the spot, Yi Zhonghai continued: "Because Wang Dong is the canteen monitor of the steel mill, he has a very good relationship with Deputy Director Li of the steel mill and often comes into contact with various leaders..."

“This is status…”

"Once you have status, others will be polite to you."

"If you can get a job in the steel mill, Xu Damao won't dare to plot against you."

"I don't expect you to get a job, but at least you have to restore your status as an eighth-level chef and raise your salary so that you can support yourself."

"Unlike now, when your monthly salary is just enough to support yourself and He Yushui, you sometimes need me, your godfather, to help you a little."

"If you continue to live like this, how will you save money to marry a wife in the future?"

"Not only will Xu Damao look down on you, but I, your godfather, will also look down on you..."

"And there's Wang Dong and the old man in the front yard..."

"Try not to contact them unless you have something to do..."

"The old man is more difficult to deal with than I thought."

"After what happened today, his status as an uncle has been completely recognized and supported by all the residents of the courtyard."

"Plus, he has a son-in-law who is a foreman in a canteen at a steel mill. He owns the first bicycle in our courtyard. Sooner or later, there will be residents in the courtyard asking him for help because they need to use the bicycle."

"If there is a conflict with them, the neighbors in the yard will definitely stand on the side of the old man."

"After I get to work, I will go to Deputy Director Li and Director Yang and try to find a way to get rid of the punishment you have received. The exam will begin this year."

“First, get the ninth-level chef certificate.

"This way you can work in the steel mill and also work as a waiter outside to increase your income."

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was only thinking about him, He Yuzhu seemed to have heard a lot, but he still frowned and asked back: "Why do you want to go to Deputy Director Li..."

"You can tell at a glance that he is not a good person..."

"Wang Dong follows Deputy Director Li all day long. Something will happen sooner or later?"

"Director Yang is the boss of the steel mill, why don't we just go find him..."

"As long as Director Yang nods, the punishment on me will definitely be removed."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and explained: "Deputy Director Li is indeed not a good person. We can't get too close to him. But he is the deputy director of the steel rolling mill after all, so we still have to give him the face he deserves."

"And Director Yang doesn't have the final say on this matter alone."

"You are in the logistics department of the steel mill. Deputy Director Li is your direct superior. If Deputy Director Li does not nod, it will be useless even if Director Yang agrees."

"I heard that Deputy Director Li will help you as long as you pay..."

"I plan to take out a thousand dollars to help you settle the punishment..."

"If that's still not enough, then 1,500 yuan. If that's still not enough, then 2,000 yuan..."

"I'm your godfather, I can't just watch you get punished all the time."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu's only slight dissatisfaction with Yi Zhonghai disappeared, and his face was full of gratitude.

Yi Zhonghai is the first person who is willing to spend so much money on him. Even his own father He Daqing has never spent so much money on him. (End of this chapter)
