Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

The front yard of the quadrangle.

Wang Dong had no idea that a new conspiracy against him was slowly unfolding towards him under the planning of Yi Zhonghai.

At this moment, I am playing games at home with my son and one daughter.

In the past five years, his wife Chen Jun gave birth to a daughter, so he now has both a son and a daughter, which makes many of his neighbors in the courtyard envious.

While playing, a loud noise suddenly reached Wang Dong's ears.

"Who are you? The people living in the yard are all employees of the steel rolling mill and leaders. This is not a place for you to act recklessly..." Yan Fugui's anxious voice reached Wang Dong's ears at the same time.

But his obstruction seemed to have no effect. The other party's shouting reached Wang Dong's ears: "We are from the steel mill special investigation team. We have been ordered to come here to investigate the case. Get out of the way quickly..."

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Wang Dong's heart skipped a beat and he immediately had a bad feeling.

In the past two years, many deputy-section-level cadres in the steel rolling mill have been brought down by this so-called special task force.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this task force is specially used by Director Li to deal with people.

As long as someone in the steel rolling mill opposes him, the task force will become a gun in Director Li's hand, shooting wherever it points.

But wherever there are people, there will be struggle, and the same is true for task forces that wield enormous power.

When Director Li did not assign them tasks, the task force would become a tool for certain cadres to seek personal gain.

Several team leaders and deputy team leaders often led special task forces to fabricate unjust and wrong cases at the steel rolling mill.

Because Director Li could benefit from it, and the team leaders and deputy team leaders of the task force did not kill people when they bullied them, Director Li turned a blind eye.

If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it grass.

He often asked the task force to help him crack down on his opponents and take the blame for him. If he didn't give them benefits, no one would work for him no matter how high he was in power at the steel mill.

As the task force caused more and more unjust, false and wrong cases at the steel mill, many good cadres were brought down by them by various means, and the task force's reputation at the steel mill became worse and worse.

However, because the task force usually deals with cadres and people with problematic backgrounds, it has no impact on ordinary workers.

Although the workers are very dissatisfied with this task force, as long as their own interests are not involved, they will just pretend that it does not exist and continue to do what they should do as long as they do not take the initiative to provoke the task force.

Today, the task force suddenly showed up in the courtyard, and the only two people who could be considered cadres in the entire courtyard were himself and his wife, so the purpose of the task force's arrival was self-evident.

His brows immediately twisted into a "川" shape, and he handed the two children to his mother-in-law. He picked up a wooden stick as thick as his arm that was leaning against the door, pushed the door open, closed the door, and said to his mother-in-law who was hiding in the room.

"mom……"

"Put the bolt on the door... No one can open the door unless I speak."

"Tell the gentleman and little sister in the backyard to stay at home and don't come out. The task force is here for me today. It has nothing to do with them. Don't get involved unless it's absolutely necessary."

"I'll tell you after I understand the details."

Although it was a bit selfish to lock Wang Dong alone outside the room, for the sake of the two children, the mother-in-law still bolted the door immediately.

No matter what happened outside, no matter what he said, it would not affect his grandson and granddaughter. At this time, nearly 20 young people from the task force had all rushed into the front yard of the courtyard, and as if they had discussed it beforehand, they marched straight to the east wing.

Seeing Wang Dong blocking the door with a wooden stick, many people showed a look of fear on their faces.

But the leader of the task force and his two deputy leaders were not afraid, but became extremely excited.

In their view, the task force's investigation of leading cadres at the steel mill was a right granted to them by Director Li. If Wang Dong used force to stop them, it would just confirm that Wang Dong was guilty.

Banggeng walked beside several team leaders and deputy team leaders of the task force, looking very arrogant.

Seeing Wang Dong blocking the door, a look of panic flashed across his face out of fear of Wang Dong.

When he saw that the team leader and the deputy team leader were not afraid but looked excited, the frightened expression on his face was once again replaced by arrogance. He walked towards the east wing with an attitude of being the best in the world, and looked at Wang Dong provocatively, as if to say: You have come to this day too, and I will make you pay for it in a while.

Such a loud noise quickly alarmed all the residents in the front yard and spread to the middle and back yards.

Tang Dashan rushed out of the house in a hurry, ran straight to Wang Dong, and asked anxiously: "Master..."

"What's going on? What are these people from the special task force doing in our courtyard?"

"It should be directed at me." Wang Dong replied with a frown.

"Just stand aside and don't say anything... Wait until I understand their confidence and find out whether Director Li has any intention in this matter, then I will find a way to get rid of them."

Huang Longfei and He Yuzhu, who lived in the backyard, ran over together. Seeing a dozen young men from the task force blocking the door of the east wing and confronting Wang Dong, they rushed over immediately.

Especially the hot-tempered He Yuzhu, who didn't care about the other party's identity, started to curse: "Who are you and what are you doing in our courtyard..."

"Why are you blocking the door of Director Wang's house? Get out of my way immediately, or I, He Yuzhu, will make sure you guys are in trouble."

Now He Yuzhu is grateful to Wang Dong from the bottom of his heart.

If Wang Dong had not pulled him out of the scheme of Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai and let her marry Liang Lazhi as his wife, He Yuzhu would not have had a child of his own.

Three years ago, about half a year after He Yuzhu and Liang Lati were married, Liang Lati became pregnant, and He Yuzhu also had a child of his own, a boy.

I was so happy at that time that I held a banquet in the courtyard and treated everyone to a good meal.

Of course, the Yi family and the Jia family were excluded from this banquet.

Not only that, the guy also spent a lot of money to buy a radio for Wang Dong and Chen Jun to thank them for their help.

This incident not only caused a huge sensation in Siheyuan, but also alarmed the steel mill.

Others would at most buy a five-dollar gift for the matchmaker, but He Yuzhu went one step further and gave a radio worth more than a hundred dollars.

Although Wang Dong was reluctant to accept it, He Yuzhu threatened him that if he didn't, he would come to the front yard to block the door every day, forcing Wang Dong to accept it.

Finally, under the arrangement of his father-in-law, he adopted He Yuzhu's son as his godson and returned the money for buying the radio in the form of a red envelope, thus settling the matter.

Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives found out, they would definitely spread rumors that Wang Dong accepted bribes. After all, He Yuzhu worked in the kitchen of a steel mill, and Wang Dong was his immediate superior, so it would be hard not to be suspected. (End of this chapter)
