The winner of life in the courtyard

Chapter 215 Selfishness
After Shen Zhiping finished talking to Yan Bugui, he returned to the East Courtyard and told Liu Wanqing what happened last night. Liu Wanqing was also filled with fear.

Just like Shen Zhiping's idea, if they had come back last night and knew that there was a fire in the backyard, they would definitely rush out to put out the fire and would most likely leave their daughter alone in the house.

For some things, we should be prepared for the worst.

Fortunately, they did not come back last night.

"How did this great joke become like this?"

Liu Wanqing still had some impression of Banggeng, although it was not a very good one. But in her opinion, he was at most a slightly spoiled child.

But after what happened yesterday, Liu Wanqing realized that she had thought too kindly of Bang Geng.

“Maybe, he is just like this!”

Shen Zhiping doesn't think Banggeng is a good kid.

The Courtyard Thief!

In the plot of Siheyuan, Banggeng received the favor of Shazhu, but he had no gratitude at all and even acted as if it was his due.

When he got older, he still didn't learn well. He beat up the elderly, fought with Sha Zhu, etc...

Although the plot gave a happy ending, based on the personalities of the characters in the plot, it is definitely impossible for this drama to have a happy ending.

Or as some people say, the most reasonable ending is that Shazhu was driven out of the courtyard and froze to death under the bridge.

The one who can do all this is naturally the one who inherited the great tradition of the Siheyuan.

"Do you think Bang Geng can be caught this time?"

"He can't escape!"

Shen Zhiping had no doubt about this at all.

In this day and age, you can’t go wherever you want.

Besides, one of Banggeng’s accomplices has been caught, and it will soon be possible to find out where they usually gather and who are their accomplices.

……

The subsequent development of this incident was just as Shen Zhiping had guessed.

Banggeng and his gang were quickly captured.

Originally, if it was just theft, the case would not be serious, but they set a fire before stealing.

This is a serious matter!
Finally, news came that the leader of the Banggeng gang was sentenced to death, and the rest of the members were all sent to farms for reform.

Although the stick terrier was small, it still couldn't escape.

He was punished for multiple crimes.

Banggeng was the mastermind behind the theft in the Siheyuan, and he was also the arsonist.

Of course, Banggeng did not admit that he set the fire, but his accomplices all said it was him. Under the influence of public opinion, Banggeng became the mastermind even if he was not the main culprit.

When the news reached Siheyuan, there was an uproar.

Qin Huairu was silent for a long time.

Her own son was a thief and was sentenced to prison, which also had an impact on Qin Huairu. At least her reputation would not be very good for a long time.

But Sha Zhu didn't take it seriously and was still very nice to Qin Huairu.

"This idiot Zhu has really set his sights on Qin Huairu!"

"This is true love!"

"Pull him down!"

"When Qin Huairu was still Jia Dongxu's wife, Sha Zhu had a special relationship with Qin Huairu. I don't know what Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu were thinking at the time!"

"Pull the gang together!"

"That's right. Didn't Engineer Shen mention that at the beginning?"

The bored people in the courtyard started gossiping again.

From initially commenting on the jokes to later the topic shifting to Qin Huairu, more and more people got involved.

Qin Huairu knew that she had become the topic of conversation among the gossipers in the courtyard, but she did not refute or argue, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

The main point is to compromise!
Under such circumstances, the residents in the courtyard couldn't complain any more. After all, Qin Huairu made them feel really pitiful.

Gradually, the focus of the topic changed.

The bad behavior of Bang Geng is no longer Qin Huairu's fault, but the result of Jia Zhangshi's failure to teach him well. This is a typical case of the top beam being crooked and the bottom beam being crooked.

Are you talking about Qin Huairu?
When Qin Huairu was in the Jia family, she was completely controlled by her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang.

Therefore, it is not Qin Huairu’s fault that she did not learn the Banggen well.

Perhaps, this is indeed true!

……

This year passed quickly.

Because of Banggeng's big drama, this year in Siheyuan is quite lively.

Of course, because of what Banggeng did, Siheyuan no longer needs to compete for titles such as advanced or civilized.

To this end, Liu Haizhong convened another meeting of the entire institute.

The topic is the education of children.

This time, the residents in the courtyard listened very attentively.

It was just that at the end of the whole hospital meeting, Yan Bugui took the initiative to say that he wanted to resign from his job as the second housekeeper. The reason was that he had failed to educate his children and could not manage his own family affairs well, so he was not qualified to continue to be the housekeeper.

After expressing his attitude, Yan Bugui stood up from his position as the steward and left.

Liu Haizhong tried to persuade him to stay, but Yan Bugui had made up his mind and would not agree no matter what.

As a result, of the three managers of Courtyard No. 95, only Liu Haizhong was left.

This time, the respectful title of "uncle" is gone.

Liu Haizhong became the only person in charge of the courtyard.

No one had any objection to this, and no one thought that another person should be elected to be the person in charge!
"Teacher Yan, this is a smart move!"

Shen Zhiping thought that it was a smart move for Yan Bugui to resign from his job as manager now.

This job of a manager is useless and he will become a target at the critical moment.

In the plot, Yan Bugui was removed from his position as manager and felt very ashamed for a time.

Now, resigning voluntarily is more prestigious than being kicked out in the future.

"Engineer Shen, do you also think that I shouldn't be the boss?"

After hearing Shen Zhiping's comments, Yan Bugui did not feel relieved at all, but felt extremely upset.

"Teacher Yan, what's the point of you being the manager?"

"Have……"

Yan Bugui wanted to say it was useful, but when he opened his mouth, he found that this old man in charge was really useless. In the past, the Siheyuan often won the title of advanced civilization and could get some benefits, and the old man in charge could also get some rewards.

But what about now? If something happens in the courtyard, the street office will come and settle the score with them.

Speaking of which, this manager is really useless.

Shen Zhiping knew that this manager was created in the early years to prevent enemy spies, but now, enemy spies no longer exist.

Of course, this cannot be said too absolutely!
But one thing is certain, even if there are still enemy spies, they have definitely gone into hiding and will not show up again.

Therefore, the manager should have revoked it long ago.

"Engineer Shen, you really understand!"

Yan Bugui sighed, feeling quite desolate.

He himself didn't know what he had been doing during this period of time. From the third uncle to the second uncle, there was obviously no change, but he was still happy with it and felt that this was a big progress.

This is simply amazing!

Shen Zhiping didn't say much to Yan Bugui, he just gave Comrade Yan some advice.

After returning home, Shen Zhiping told Liu Wanqing about the things in the courtyard. Liu Wanqing was also quite sad. She felt that with Yan Bugui's resignation, this courtyard seemed to be entering another era.

Shen Zhiping felt quite uncomfortable when he heard Liu Wanqing's words of emotion.

My wife really has good taste!
Shen Zhiping has become much more low-key in his work at the steel mill and has interacted more with the workers.

The factory's spring worker grade assessment was a few days later than scheduled.

During this period, Shen Zhiping gave a lot of guidance to the apprentices in the factory.

As for Yan Jiecheng, Shen Zhiping never paid any attention to him.

This guy can be so cold to his own parents and doesn't know how to be grateful. Shen Zhiping had given him a lot of advice before for Yan Bugui's sake, but now, Shen Zhiping will not indulge him.

Yan Jiecheng's skills were already quite poor, and he was unwilling to work hard, so he simply hoped that Shen Zhiping could give him a hand.

In this regard, Shen Zhiping just wants to say that there is something wrong with his brain!
……

The steel mill's spring worker-level assessment lasted for several days, and almost everyone applied for the assessment, so it naturally took a long time.

When the final results came out, most people were promoted, especially the apprentices. At least 80% of them passed the work grade assessment, and some even became third-level workers directly!
However, Yan Jiecheng still failed to pass the work-level assessment. His luck was really not good.

Although the difficulty of the assessment did not increase this time, Yan Jiecheng's psychological quality was not up to standard. He made mistakes one after another during the operation and ruined all the workpiece blanks in his hands.

All the test artifacts were scrapped, so the test naturally failed!

Yan Jiecheng knew he had failed again before the results were announced.

After all, he hadn't been able to complete the assessment.

"It is your own fault and you will not live!"

After knowing Yan Jiecheng's assessment results, Shen Zhiping gave a very calm comment.

How can someone who refuses to work hard succeed?
You may not succeed if you work hard, but you will definitely not succeed if you don’t work hard!
After the assessment, the factory held a factory-wide meeting to commend all the workers who were promoted. Several workers who made great progress also received special rewards, including bicycle tickets, sewing machine tickets, and cashier tickets. Many workers in the factory were excited and hated themselves for not working harder!
At this time, all kinds of tickets are really hard to come by.

Especially the hard-core demand bills such as three turns and one ring, which are scarce even on the black market.

Shen Zhiping also got a ticket, a watch ticket!

Although he did not need it, as someone who provided outstanding support for the technical advancement of the factory workers, if he did not receive any reward, not to mention whether Shen Zhiping would have any objections, the workers would feel that the factory leaders were unfair.

……

On the evening when the factory's work-level assessment ended, Yan Jiecheng appeared in the courtyard again. There were several scratches on his face, which were caused by Sun Ailian.

The situation was just like when Yan Jiecheng failed his first work-level assessment.

However, unlike the first time, this time when Yan Jiecheng came back, Yan Bugui did not let him in, but instead blocked him outside the Yan family’s door.

"Dad, can we talk inside if we have anything to say?"

"You're blocking me outside the door like this, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"

"No matter what, you are still the second uncle in the courtyard!"

Yan Jiecheng really knows how to talk.

Unfortunately, he had not paid attention to the affairs of the Siheyuan during this period, and had no idea that Yan Bugui was no longer the manager.

Furthermore, who in Siheyuan and among the neighbors doesn’t know that Yan Jiecheng is unfilial?
Therefore, Yan Bugui is not afraid of losing face at all.

Anyway, I've already lost face before!
"If you have something to say, then say it. If not, get out of here!"

Yan Bugui really doesn't want to acknowledge Yan Jiecheng as his son now.

He used to think his son had a promising future, but after all this time, it turns out this bastard is just a useless piece of shit who is only good at talking big!

"Dad, why are you like this?"

"Mom, don't you care about my dad?"

Seeing that Yan Bugui was unmoved, Yan Jiecheng turned his gaze to his biological mother Yang Ruihua.

Unfortunately, Yang Ruihua was too stingy to even give the other person a glance.

"Hey, isn't this Yan Jiecheng?"

Just when Yan Jiecheng was blocked outside the Yan family's door and was not allowed to enter, Liu Haizhong came over from the backyard. He was about to go to the toilet outside, and he really didn't expect to see Yan Jiecheng here.

"Eh? Jie Cheng, what's wrong with your face? Did your wife really hit you?"

Liu Haizhong looked at Yan Jiecheng with a smile, but what he said was quite touching.

If it were in the past, Liu Haizhong would not have argued with a junior like Yan Jiecheng, but ever since Yan Bugui said he no longer wanted to be the manager and resigned forcefully, Liu Haizhong has been thinking about when he could find Yan Bugui to vent his anger.

However, Liu Haizhong never dreamed that such a good opportunity would be delivered to him personally by Yan Jiecheng.

"Uncle, please don't worry about my family's affairs!"

Yan Jiecheng knew that Liu Haizhong had no good intentions, so he naturally wouldn't have much conversation with him.

"Jie Cheng, I'm not the boss, I'm saying this to you!"

"Now, I am the only uncle in charge of our courtyard. From now on, you can just call me uncle. If you have any troubles that cannot be solved, you can come to me. I guarantee that you will be satisfied!"

Liu Haizhong became the only uncle in charge of the courtyard. Now was the time when he was in high spirits. Seeing the posture of Yan Jiecheng and Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong felt that this was his chance to take action!

"...?!"

After hearing Liu Haizhong's arrogant words, Yan Jiecheng was confused.

There is only one manager left in the courtyard!
His father is no longer the manager of the courtyard!
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"Sir, why are you just quitting your job?"

"Have you ever thought about us?"

Yan Jiecheng started to attack Yan Bugui directly.

"How can a person be so selfish?"

"You are a teacher at school, how come you can't even teach children?"

"I'm so ashamed of you!"

I have to say that Yan Jiecheng is a capable kid. At least he is good at speaking.
