Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 20 Intention
People don't care about these things these days. If someone hits someone, that's it. As long as the person isn't hurt, no one will call the police. Even if they do, it's useless and they'll be looked down upon.

Otherwise, why didn’t Xu Damao go to the police after being beaten so many times?
Do you really think he will care about Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady?

Within a few minutes, He Yuzhu pushed Qin Huairu out of the central courtyard, and Yi Zhonghai behind him still had a grim look on his face.

Zhou Weimin didn't have the habit of taking a nap, so he was brushing his teeth in the yard. When he turned around, his eyes met He Yuzhu's.

Looking at him and then at Qin Huairu on the cart, Zhou Weimin raised his eyebrows and grinned. Everything was said without words.

He Yuzhu felt inexplicably guilty. He turned his head slightly unnaturally and quickened his pace.

On the contrary, Qin Huairu smiled apologetically at Zhou Weimin, but didn't say anything.

As for Yi Zhonghai, he didn't even look over and just acted as if there was no such person in the courtyard.

Zhou Weimin immediately rinsed his mouth and wiped it when he saw this. He then shouted to the three men with interest, "Shazhu, Master Yi, don't walk too fast. You might make someone fall down again."

However, none of the three paid any attention to him, and quickly disappeared around the corner of the courtyard's gate.

After walking for a while, He Yuzhu said in a muffled voice: "Why has Wei Min become like this now? He was not like this before."

Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly and said in a bad tone: "Humph, it's because he is valued by the leaders in the factory. He thinks he has made a name for himself and looks down on people in our factory. With the way he is in the factory, he won't be able to stay in the position of buyer for long. Just wait and see, this kid will have problems sooner or later."

At this moment, he felt a little more regretful. He was too impatient today and Zhou Weimin saw through his intention.

Although the two families are not at loggerheads now, their relationship is almost as bad as before.

If I had known this earlier, I should have slowed down. I was too careless!

"Hey, why is he so arrogant? He's just a canteen purchaser. The canteen director has to be polite to me when he sees me. This kid just needs to be taught a lesson. He will know how good we are to him after he suffers a loss outside."

Perhaps because Qin Huairu was there, He Yuzhu unconsciously talked about his position in the factory, not wanting to be outdone by Zhou Weimin.

However, he really had no intention of teaching Zhou Weimin a lesson. Although he was a bit of a scoundrel, he also knew that everything Zhou Weimin had said to him before was for his own good.

Now he hoped that Zhou Weimin would suffer losses in the factory, and then he would go to help him, so that Zhou Weimin would know that if there was any problem, it would be the neighbors in their yard who could help.

Qin Huairu was lying on the cart, listening to their conversation, with a flickering look in her eyes.

Naturally, she wanted Zhou Weimin to help her family as well, and she didn't want the two of them to lose contact with Zhou Weimin.

But she also knew that nothing she said now would be good, after all, the current situation was caused by her.

In this way, during the twenty-minute journey, Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu were talking about Zhou Weimin, while Qin Huairu was just a silent listener, only occasionally agreeing with someone.

After the three of them arrived at the entrance of the steel rolling mill, under Yi Zhonghai's intentional arrangement, He Yuzhu helped Qin Huairu get off the cart.

Yi Zhonghai showed the guard at the door the death certificate of Jia Dongxu and explained Qin Huairu's identity. He then walked back to the two of them and said gently, "Zhu Zi, Huairu, wait for me at the door for a while. I'll pull the cart back first. If you feel too tired to stand, go to the kitchen and rest for a while."

"Uncle, I'll run over and you can stay here with Sister Qin. Otherwise, at your speed, we'll have to stand at the door for more than half an hour."

He Yuzhu wiped the sweat from his forehead and prepared to take the cart.

"If you don't want to stand, go to the kitchen. I have already told our workshop director that I can help with Dongxu's affairs. Have you told your cafeteria director?"

Yi Zhonghai slapped away the hand that was extended to him and began to teach Sha Zhu a lesson in the tone of an elder.

He Yuzhu rubbed his slapped hand and said with a playful smile: "Hey, why do I need to say hello?"

"Zhu Zi, please don't mess with me. Don't you listen to me?"

Yi Zhonghai glared at him and his tone became even more serious.

How could he let go of such a good opportunity to cause He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu to be misunderstood?

After today's incident, there will definitely be a lot of gossip in the factory, enough to keep those who want to find a wife for Zhuzi quiet for a few months. "Hey, don't be angry, uncle. I'll listen to you, okay?"

Seeing that she was really angry, He Yuzhu immediately retreated back to Qin Huairu's side.

In fact, he was willing to accompany Qin Huairu in his heart, but it was because he didn't want to make an old man tired, so it was his fault.

"Well, I'll go back first. You should finish your work in the kitchen quickly today. We'll go to the street office together this afternoon."

Seeing that he no longer tried to grab the cart, Yi Zhonghai slowed down his tone, gave him a few instructions, and then pulled the cart towards the courtyard.

……

On the other side, Zhou Weimin had just pushed his bicycle out of the door when a person and a bicycle appeared beside him.

"Hey, Brother Damao, long time no see. Are you going to the factory or to the countryside?"

Zhou Weimin turned around and found that the person coming was Xu Damao from the backyard, so he greeted him with a smile.

"We're going to Fengshui Commune. We just got a propaganda assignment yesterday. We're going to show a movie there. Weimin, where are you going? Let's walk together."

Xu Damao knew that Zhou Weimin was definitely not going to the factory, so he asked tentatively.

"What a coincidence! I'm also planning to go to Fengshui Commune today. Are we walking?"

After Zhou Weimin finished speaking, he got on his bicycle and rode forward.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he spoke to Xu Damao since he came here.

Usually when he went out, Xu Damao was either not up or had not come back yet.

The same was true at night. When he came back, Xu Damao would basically not be in the yard. It could be said that the two of them had perfectly staggered times.

It was today that Xu Damao probably waited for him on purpose, so the two of them met.

Speaking of Xu Damao, even though he is the villain in the play, he is not that bad actually.

His behavior is that of an egoist, a pure villain.

He is the kind of person who won't provoke you if you don't provoke him, and will even smile at you.

Every time something happened in the yard in the early days, it was He Yuzhu who provoked him first, and then he tried to find ways to retaliate.

The only thing that people criticize is that reporting the Lou family was actually the right thing to do at that time.

Not to mention, he had no intention of reporting it at first, but only reported it to the Lou family after he found out that Lou Xiao'e and his arch-enemy He Yuzhu had gotten together.

To be honest, Xu Damao was sorry to many people, but the only person he was not sorry to was Lou Xiaoe.

In that era, it was very rare for a man to go home and cook for his wife.

On the contrary, Lou Xiao'e really did not do what a daughter-in-law should do.

He Yuzhu helped Qin Huairu's family without Xu Damao's knowledge, and made up a lie to make her want to send Xu Damao to the security department. She also listened to the deaf old lady and thought Xu Damao was a bad guy.

She trusts everyone except her own man.

Among them are Xu Damao’s problems, but Lou Xiao’e’s problems are also not small.

In Zhou Weimin's opinion, the best Lou Xiao'e is the married Lou Xiao'e. Except for being a bad daughter-in-law, Lou Xiao'e is good in everything.
