Siheyuan, don't mess with me

"Thank you Aunt Chen!"

"We are all family, why be polite! You've been tired all day, go home and take a rest!"

Yu Li and He Yuzhu went back. Li Ruihua looked at Chen Wanyi. She didn't expect that Chen Wanyi had lived a good life since the divorce. He Daqing spoiled her to the sky. Her life was just like her before. She was just an old nanny, serving Yi Zhonghai every day. Now she has become a treasure in He Daqing's hands!

Chapter 225 Favors must be repaid!

"Why are you still chatting?" He Daqing came back after finishing his business. "Here!"

"Valve Cream! Lao He, you're wasting money again!"

"It's not winter anymore, and in this climate, your skin is terribly dry. I'll buy you a box!"

"Don't waste money in the future. I'm so old, why should I use this? Give it to Yu Li!"

"That's what Zhuzi bought for her. I'll buy it for you!" He Daqing said with a smile. The two of them went back to the middle courtyard together, leaving Li Ruihua, who was full of dog food, to look at Chen Wanyi's life, then at his own life, and at his rough, broken hands. Li Ruihua couldn't help but sigh, what kind of life is this? He also felt resentful towards Yan Bugui in his heart. He only knew how to save money all day long! Save! Save! When will it end? In the end, the result of saving money is still not good to eat, not warm to wear, and not living a good life!

Yan Bugui came back just in time, which gave Li Ruihua an excuse to divert his anger. He didn't want to get angry with Yan Bugui, but he couldn't suppress the frustration in his heart, so he took the opportunity to vent!

But how could Yan Bugui let her do this? No, if this matter got out of hand, she would be the one being unreasonable! But whatever you worry about, it will come true!

The gate of Old Chen's house opened, and Chen Dayong walked out with a gloomy face, "Yan Bugui, come out and explain clearly who is not letting you in. Did you, Old Yan, knock on my door? Your wife is yelling to slander my family!"

Originally, Li Ruihua's voice was loud, and each family was quietly paying attention. When they saw Chen Dayong coming out, many people gathered around to watch. Most of them were men and children. The women were all at home cooking!

"Old Chen, it's a misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding!" Yan Bugui rushed out to explain.

"What misunderstanding is there? The Chen family wouldn't even let you in, what misunderstanding is there?" Li Ruihua ran out like a shrew and shouted at Chen Dayong!

Chen Dayong frowned and said in a cold voice, "Yan Bugui, explain it to me clearly in front of everyone, otherwise, this matter will not end!"

"Old Chen, this matter is my fault. I didn't explain it clearly to her when I came back, so there was a misunderstanding!"

"Then did you knock on my door? Why didn't I let you in?" Of course Chen Dayong would not let him ruin his family's reputation so unscrupulously!

Seeing Yan Bugui shrinking his head, Chen Dayong was too lazy to talk to him and said directly, "Young man from the courtyard, I met Yan Bugui on the way home from get off work tonight. I just said hello, but I don't understand why you, Yan Bugui, went home and spread rumors that I wouldn't let you into my house? Did you knock on the door? Did you tell me that you were coming to my house? Your wife is yelling like this to ruin my family's reputation?"

"Old Chen, it's my fault. I apologize to you!" Yan Bugui was so embarrassed. He originally planned to create a chance encounter. If Chen Dayong gave in and asked him to visit his home, he would go with the flow and take the opportunity to talk about Yan Jiecheng's work problems. This way, it would not be considered as a visitor's request. This would give him a psychological advantage when it came to negotiating the price!

This was his plan, but Chen Dayong didn't follow his routine and didn't say anything. Yan Bugui returned empty-handed. He didn't want to tell Li Ruihua because he didn't want his plan to fail and lose face in front of Li Ruihua. Unexpectedly, Li Ruihua was already full of resentment today and had nowhere to vent. Yan Bugui thought that the old Chen family didn't hear it? Who knew that Chen Dayong and Chen Zhiguo were cooking in the kitchen and heard it clearly. Chen Zhiguo wanted to go out, but was stopped by Chen Dayong!

"In the future, don't talk about things that don't exist!" Chen Dayong went home after saying this. When the people in the courtyard saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, they went home to report to their wives!

In fact, as soon as Yan Bugui showed up, Chen Dayong and Chen Zhiguo guessed that there must be something going on when Yan Bugui came here, so they didn't plan to argue with him. Unexpectedly, such a thing would happen. It really opened their eyes!

"Dad, why didn't you say anything?" Yan Jiecheng complained.

"That's right. You didn't say anything and you kept showing off your cleverness all day long. Now you're embarrassed again! What about Yan Jiecheng's job?"

"Okay, stop talking and go cook!" Yan Bugui looked at the three children who were peeking out of the room and said unhappily. This matter was not that embarrassing for him. It didn't matter. More embarrassing things had happened before, but he still cared about this little scene. In terms of shamelessness, no one in the courtyard was as shameless as Yan Bugui! The humblest people are invincible!

At night, just after the Chen family had finished dinner, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard. "Who is it?" Chen Zhiguo came out of the kitchen and shook off the water droplets on his hands!

"It's me, your Uncle Yan!"

The ghost is still there, right? Chen Zhiguo was a little angry. Just as he was about to open the door, he heard Chen Dayong coming out of the main room and coughing! He waved at him!

Chen Zhiguo went back to the kitchen to wash his dishes. Chen Dayong put on his cotton jacket and went to open the door. However, the door was not wide open, just a crack!

"Old Yan, what's the matter so late?" Chen Dayong asked while blocking the door, his words still filled with anger!

"Old Chen, I have something to discuss with you!" Yan Bugui said with a smile, as if what happened before dinner had never happened.

"It's too late. It's not convenient at home. If you have anything to say, just talk about it here, or talk about it tomorrow!" Chen Dayong said coldly.

"Old Chen, the steel mill is going to expand, can you help arrange a job for my Yan Jiecheng?"

"I can't make the decision on this. If the steel mill expands its enrollment, Yan Jiecheng can go and sign up. I don't have that much power to arrange it for you!"

"Old Chen, I know the rules. Can't I spend the money I'm supposed to spend?"

"Yan Bugui, it's not that I don't want to help, I just don't have a quota, and I don't want to do such a deal!" Chen Dayong's face darkened. He didn't even look at this little bit of money!

"Old Chen, I will really pay for the spot at the steel mill for 500 yuan!" Yan Bugui was also anxious.

"Yan Bugui, I'm telling you for the last time that I don't have any quota and I don't want to do this deal. Do you understand? It's too late, I want to go to bed!" Chen Dayong didn't wait for Yan Bugui to say anything else and slammed the door shut!

Yan Bugui looked at the closed door, spat, turned around and went home. Li Ruihua and Yan Jiecheng, who were looking at Yan Bugui from the window, felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, thinking that the matter must not have been settled!

"Go to bed!" Yan Bugui waved his hand and slumped down in his chair! Li Ruihua and Yan Jiecheng did not continue to ask, but returned to their rooms silently!

. . . . . . . . .

"Does Yan Bugui want a recruitment quota?" After cleaning up the kitchen, Chen Zhiguo poured a cup of hot tea for Chen Dayong who was smoking!

"He didn't even ask around. How much does a quota cost now? There are people willing to pay 800 yuan. He offered 500 yuan, as if he was doing me a great favor! We don't want this bargain. Don't get involved and can't get rid of it!"

Chen Zhiguo nodded. His family was not short of money, so there was no need to do that. Besides, Chen Weijun's matter was not settled yet. Chen Zhiguo did not want to cause such a thing again!

However, even if you don't want to cause trouble, someone will happen to find you. One morning, when Chen Zhiguo just went out, he saw Yan Jiecheng standing at the gate of the yard, with his hands clasped, and stamping his feet with laughter!

"Zhiguo, go to work!"

"Brother Jie Cheng, good morning!"

"Zhiguo, I need your help!"

"Brother Jie Cheng, it's not that I don't want to help. I'm not from the steel mill now. I'm just going to carry out technical transformation. How can I have the quota? There are so many cadres in the steel mill who have higher positions than my father. How could my father have the quota? I can't help you. You have to wait for the steel mill to post a notice and then sign up. That's the only way. Don't even think about other ways!" This was Chen Zhiguo's sincere advice. He didn't hide it. He really didn't have any work quota. Of course, he wouldn't give it even if he had it. Chen Weijun's incident was a lesson!

Chen Zhiguo took out a cigarette and handed it to Yan Jiecheng. No matter what, the other person was waiting at the door early in the morning and did not knock to disturb him. He had to explain the situation to him in a nice way!

"I just want you to ask for me who has such an indicator and wants to buy it. Can you help me make some connections? You know, I can't find out about the internal affairs of the steel mill, and I can't grab it even if I have the chance!" Yan Jiecheng was trying to settle for the second best. He also realized that Chen Zhiguo really didn't have it and didn't want to be involved in such things!

"I can help you find out about this. If there is any, Brother Jie Cheng, I will definitely inform you. However, the most I can do is to help you make some connections. I can't help you with anything else!"

"Thank you so much for that, Shiguku!"

"It's okay, we are all neighbors, I will definitely help if I can!"

. . . . . . . . .

When they arrived at the factory, Chen Zhiguo called Luo Xue over and asked, "Did you know that the steel mill is going to expand its recruitment?"

"I heard that the report has been submitted, but it has not been approved yet. We need to recruit a lot of people this time, probably 500 people! Why, you want a quota?"

In normal recruitment, a portion of the quota will definitely be reserved for internal use. Who doesn’t have relatives to take care of? Therefore, generally speaking, senior cadres will be allocated quotas. As for middle-level cadres, it depends on their own abilities and the capabilities of their factions. Strong middle-level cadres will also get one or two quotas!

Luo Xue's uncle is the current director of the steel rolling mill, Lao Luo. If Chen Zhiguo wants it, it will be a matter of minutes. Chen Zhiguo shook his head and said, "If there is no such thing, I'm just asking for someone else. If the factory issues an announcement, don't forget to notify me. If anyone wants to sell it, please contact them for me. I'm just helping my neighbor to make some connections. I don't want to get involved too much!"

Chen Zhiguo also took precautions in advance. What if Luo Xue misunderstood and really gave him a recruitment quota? Would Chen Zhiguo take it or not? One quota was seven or eight hundred yuan, and this favor was a big one. Before, Chen Zhiguo only wanted to help the village, so he accepted the quota from Lao Jiang and Lao Hu. Of course, this favor must be repaid!

"Okay, got it! I'll inform you as soon as there is any news!" These are all trivial matters. Chen Zhiguo is also afraid that he will be busy and delayed. This would be bad. What if Yan Jiecheng gets the news from somewhere else and he doesn't inform him? That would be bad!

After explaining everything, Chen Zhiguo left in a hurry, ignoring the fiery and resentful looks of Jiang Yuehua and the other four people in the office. The warehouse was quiet, so he could temporarily avoid troublesome things from happening!

I just don't know how long Chen Zhiguo can hide!

When Chen Zhiguo was studying the machine tools in the warehouse, the security guard at the factory gate came to call him and said that someone was looking for him at the gate! Chen Zhiguo was also puzzled, who was it? He followed the security guard to the gate!

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a middle-aged couple accompanied by a young man standing outside the gate. When they saw Chen Zhiguo appear, the middle-aged couple fell to their knees on the ground. The woman cried and shouted, "Zhiguo! Save your brother Weiguo! I kowtow to you!"

Chapter 226 Yesterday’s kindness, today’s hatred!

Chen Zhiguo was immediately furious, "Stand up! Why are you crying?"

"Zhiguo, help us, save your brother Weijun!" The one who spoke was Chen Weijun's father, Chen Dajiang, the uncle of Chen Zhiguo's second grandfather, also known as uncle. The one kneeling down was Chen Weijun's mother!

Chen Zhiguo signaled to the security guard to help open the door, and asked another security guard to help call his father. These elders were not easy to deal with. Although he could reason with them, he was afraid that he would not be able to make them understand. Looking at the current situation, Chen Zhiguo knew that there was a high probability that he would not be able to reason with them today!

"Auntie, let's stand up and talk. This is the workplace. It will have a bad impact if you do this. The boss will be angry if he sees it!"

"I won't, Zhiguo. If you don't help us today, I won't get up. I will kneel here and die!" Chen Weijun's mother Jiang Cuihong said with a sad face. While speaking, Jiang Cuihong wanted to grab Chen Zhiguo's legs. Chen Zhiguo quickly dodged. If he was caught, it would be too embarrassing!

"Uncle Dajiang, please persuade Auntie!" Chen Zhiguo could only place his hope on Chen Dajiang, but Chen Dajiang did not object to his wife's behavior at all. He just looked at Chen Zhiguo pitifully.

Chen Zhiguo suddenly felt overwhelmed. He had no experience in dealing with such things. Moreover, they were his elders and he could not hit or scold them. He really wanted to walk away, but he was afraid that they would continue crying and making a fuss at the factory gate. Fortunately, he had just started work not long ago and there were already many eyes watching here!

"Uncle, do you want to talk about things? If you do, let me get up. Stop crying. If you keep crying, I really won't care about you anymore!" Chen Zhiguo could only harden his heart. Some leader might come to the factory gate. It would be really bad if he saw it. Besides, this matter could not be explained and was still kept secret!

However, Chen Zhiguo's persuasion did not have any effect. Jiang Cuihong cried even harder, "My son, you are really wronged! How could a good person be arrested as soon as he entered the city? My son! Why do you only bully honest people!"

For a moment, the gate of the steel rolling mill became the focus of attention. No matter whether they were passers-by or people in the factory, as long as they had free time, they all gathered around!

"Why are you howling! This is a state-owned unit. You're blocking the gate. I'll ask the security to bring you in!" Chen Dayong finally came over. He walked a little slowly due to his injured leg!

Seeing Chen Dayong appear, Chen Dajiang and Jiang Cuihong surrounded him and said, "Dayong, please save your nephew! My son is such an honest man, how could he make a mistake?"

"Shut up! Do you want to say that the state organs and public security police officers have wronged Chen Weijun? Do you have any evidence?" Chen Dayong was furious. He saw Jiang Cuihong's unscrupulous abuse from a distance. She was saying that Chen Zhiguo didn't help. How could Chen Dayong not be angry and annoyed? Damn it, you took the benefits and now you are suffering a loss, and you still want to use moral blackmail. How can this be possible!

Chen Dayong ignored Chen Dajiang and his wife at first, and turned his attention to the young man next to him, "You are the second brother of the second uncle's family, right?"

"Sir, I am the eldest son of the Chen Dahe family, Chen Jianshe!" the young man said respectfully.

"Okay, follow me first, don't cry or make a scene, I'll arrest you!" Chen Dayong pointed at the armed guards standing at the gate! In fact, when Jiang Cuihong started crying, the guards at the gate came over to deal with her. What a joke, the gate of the steel mill is not for you to cry in the gate, but when they heard that she was looking for Chen Zhiguo, and saw Chen Zhiguo standing by, they gave her face and didn't come forward!

Now, with Chen Dayong's words, the guards were also shrewd, and looked at them fiercely. They were all retired soldiers, and the aura on their bodies was not something that a rural person like Chen Dajiang could withstand! They immediately became honest!

Chen Zhiguo also secretly praised that the old ones are the most experienced, otherwise he really couldn't control them by himself!

Chen Dayong didn't lead them anywhere, he just borrowed the security lounge nearby, it was spacious and convenient for talking!

"Tell me! What happened?" Chen Dayong dispersed a cloud of cigarettes and then asked Chen Jianshe,

"Uncle Dayong, I don't know either. My uncle and aunt came to my factory and asked me to find my brother Zhiguo, so I took leave and brought them here!"

"You and Weijun are in the same factory?"

"Yes,"

"Any news from the factory?"

"No, I just heard that two people in Weijun's workshop haven't come to work for a long time. Brother Weijun went out after get off work one day and never came back. We contacted the factory security department, and they said that Weijun was in trouble, so we shouldn't ask about it and we are not allowed to talk nonsense!"

"You know the seriousness of the matter, but you still dare to get involved. You don't want to work anymore, right? Before you do anything, think more about what you can and cannot do, and don't get yourself involved. Do you think that if Chen Weijun goes to jail, you won't be investigated? I tell you, not only you, but the entire Chenjia Village will be investigated. You still dare to get involved now. What are you thinking?"

Chen Dayong scolded Chen Jianshe until he cried. He just wanted to not be arrested. If he lost his job and had to go back to the countryside, his life would be over. He could not help but stare at Chen Dajiang and his wife with hatred.

"What are you looking at?" Chen Dayong slapped his head. "Get out of here right now, go back to the factory, and explain the situation to the security department. Just say that it was your brother Zhiguo who called you!" Chen Dayong knew that it was useless to say his own name, and it would be better to use his son's name!

After Chen Jianshe left in a panic, he asked, "Who gave you the letter of introduction? Who agreed to let you leave the village?"

"Da Long refused to open the door, so my wife and I came here in the middle of the night!" Chen Dahe lost his momentum at this time and said cowardly,

"I came to see my son, and I still need someone to take care of me? This is so unfair!" Jiang Cuihong grumbled in dissatisfaction.
