Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 27 Bait
For the rest of the time, Sha Zhu had only one thing to do, which was to see when Yi Zhonghai would make a move and set a trap for He Daqing.

As far as I can remember, I only know the time when He Daqing left, but I don't know how He Daqing got involved or how long he had been hooking up with the White Widow.

The reason why I remember this time is because what happened on that day was so profound. Apart from these, there is nothing left about my childhood memories. My mind is full of Qin Huairu, especially Qin Huairu when he was young.

After several contacts, Sha Zhu and Director Wang had a very good relationship. The only problem was that he had not yet met the first director of the subdistrict office, the deaf old lady, Director Pan.

Through chatting with Director Wang, Sha Zhu learned a lot of things, including the one that had the greatest impact on Siheyuan, the selection of liaison officers.

This liaison officer is the predecessor of the Siheyuan Manager. Originally a position to communicate between the street office and the masses, it was controlled by the pension group, cutting off the way for the masses to contact the street office, thus achieving the status of the Siheyuan ancestor and the Lord of Morality.

As for how this liaison officer became the person in charge, I have no memory of it.

Sha Zhu knew that this system would have a great impact on the Siheyuan, but he had no way to destroy it. This was the general trend and he could not stop it.

However, the general trend cannot be changed, but small things can be changed.

We cannot stop them, but we can limit their power, or at least make the people in charge look unjust and illegitimate.

If you want to mess with the manager, the best person is He Daqing. With his unruly temper, he can definitely do it.

Unfortunately, half a month before the liaison officer selection, He Daqing left with the White Widow. He could not be relied on at all.

It is impossible for Sha Zhu to keep He Daqing for such a small matter. If he keeps such an old ancestor, he will not be comfortable in the courtyard.

During the time he lived with He Daqing, he felt very inconvenient. There were things he couldn't eat, money he couldn't spend, and he couldn't make decisions about anything.

It’s uncomfortable.

No one in the courtyard knew how Sha Zhu felt.

However, the atmosphere in the academy began to change since Jia Dongxu became his apprentice.

The deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai, and the Jia family are obviously getting closer, and there is a tendency to stick together. Originally, the status of the three families in the courtyard was not high, but now they have become the most powerful one.

Sha Zhu secretly observed that He Daqing, Xu Fugui and Liu Haizhong all felt uncomfortable and were cautious in their actions.

As for Yan Bugui in the front yard, he was less affected.

Yi Zhonghai has changed the most. I don't know if it's because the deaf old lady taught him well or if he was born to be a hypocrite. Anyway, the power of his moral kidnapping has increased dramatically.

Originally, Yi Zhonghai's target for practice was Sha Zhu. But because Sha Zhu had been avoiding him recently and got off work late, Yi Zhonghai couldn't catch Sha Zhu, so he had to choose Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was made so miserable by Yi Zhonghai that he had no energy at all. Even when he saw Sha Zhu, he was not in the mood to cause trouble.

He was unhappy, and Yi Zhonghai was unhappy too.

According to the deaf old lady's teachings, he should have achieved more brilliant results. However, Xu Damao's performance was different from what he expected, which made him doubt himself.

"Old lady, is there something I didn't do well enough? That brat Xu Damao still looked unconvinced when he saw me."

The two dared not tell anyone about their marriage. They were worried that if they did, the old deaf lady would no longer receive support. They would even lose the house they were living in.

At the same time, if the relationship between the two is not exposed, Yi Zhonghai can also gain moral points. The difference between taking care of a godmother and taking care of a helpless old lady is huge.

The former is considered natural by everyone, while the latter is something that everyone admires. As far as I can remember, the first time Sha Zhu knew about the relationship between the two was during the Chinese New Year in 1965.

A lot of things happened in the last few months of 1965. Sha Zhu was rejected by Qin Jingru and Ran Qiuye successively, and was branded as a chicken thief, which basically eliminated his chances of finding a partner.

Yi Zhonghai felt that it was time to bring together Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, and he was happy; the deaf old lady began to close in on Lou Xiaoe. The two of them had the upper hand, and were ready to turn the four families into one, which exposed this relationship.

As for now, no one in the courtyard knew about it. Everyone thought Yi Zhonghai was enthusiastic and took good care of the deaf old lady. Of course, there were also people who thought he wanted to wipe out the whole family.

The deaf old lady thought to herself, moral kidnapping can only work on moral people. It would be strange if you could succeed if you practiced on an immoral person. If Xu Damao was not young, you would not have achieved the results you have now.

"Xu Damao is a born bad guy. Isn't it a waste of effort for you to say those things to him? If you want to use what I taught you, use it on Dongxu and Shazhu."

Yi Zhonghai looked a little aggrieved. Of course he knew that Xu Damao was born a bad guy, but he couldn't do anything about it.

It was easy to talk to Jia Dongxu, as he was his own disciple and he had to listen to whatever he said. So it felt like he had no way to morally blackmail Jia Dongxu.

He wanted to tell Sha Zhu, but he couldn't find anyone. Sha Zhu was different from before. In the past, he would always play in the yard when he came back, and he had plenty of opportunities to meet Sha Zhu.

Now Shazhu stays in the house all day and has little contact with people in the yard. When they meet, they only say three sentences at most.

He couldn't just run to He Daqing and say to him, "Shazhu, you should be filial to the elders in the courtyard." He was afraid that if he said this, he would be thrown out of the He family.

"That kid Shazhu won't talk to me now. I can't use it on him."

Speaking of Sha Zhu, the deaf old lady also frowned. Recently, she could clearly feel that Sha Zhu was alienating her. In the past, she could always see Sha Zhu every now and then, and he would think of her when he had something delicious. Now, Sha Zhu came back with a lunch box every day, and he didn't even think of sending her some.

It must have been taught by that bad guy He Daqing.

No, He Daqing must be taken away.

The deaf old lady sighed and said, "Shazhu is a good kid, but He Daqing is a piece of shit. He Daqing must be dissatisfied with you and told him not to contact you. Did you offend He Daqing?"

Yi Zhonghai was dumbfounded. He could not think of how he had offended He Daqing. Jia Dongxu held a banquet to pay respect to his teacher and asked He Daqing to cook. He gave all the money He Daqing asked for. He had not had time to cause trouble for He Daqing, but He Daqing dared to target him.

Outrageous.

"I also feel that Lao He is not right recently. Godmother, didn't you say you would teach him a lesson?"

The deaf old lady smiled mysteriously and said, "I do want to teach him a lesson, but now is not the time. Don't worry, he will not get any good results. But you should improve your good reputation recently. I tell you, if your reputation is good, there will be unexpected benefits."

Yi Zhonghai asked curiously: "What are the benefits?"

"I can't tell you now. The people in those small courtyards next to ours are all from the steel mill!"

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and said, "Most of them. Why are you asking this?"

The deaf old lady nodded and said, "It's good that they are from your steel mill. As for you, you should try to build relationships with them recently. You should establish your own prestige in their hearts. When necessary, you can use the bait of recruiting apprentices and teaching them techniques."

"Why on earth is this happening? Those skills are what I rely on to make a living." Yi Zhonghai was a little angry.

The deaf old lady still didn't tell him the whole story, she just said: "I asked you to set the bait, who asked you to give them food."
