Siheyuan: Security Office of Wude

The manager has no official position and no salary. At most, he can get a little more when the street office distributes things during festivals.

But Yan Bugui's salary has been reduced to 20 yuan now, so this little bit of money can help him make up for the loss.

Yang Ruihua said happily: "There is still this one, Jiefang, Jiekuang, why don't you hurry up and pull them apart!"

But the brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang did not obey immediately. They put their heads together and muttered for a while, then stretched out their hands at the same time: "Okay, according to the rules, give me the money."

Yan Bugui is their biological father. He knew what they were up to when he saw them sticking their butts out. He had just thought of an excuse: "When I become the manager again, our family's situation will be much better. Wouldn't you two benefit by then? Why are you asking me for money now?"

Yan Jiefang curled his lips and said disdainfully:

"Dad, do you believe what you said?"

"When you were the boss, we didn't get any benefits. If you want us to work, don't mention it in the future. Giving us money now is the most practical thing."

"Yes, and you can't default on your debt or write an IOU. You have to pay in cash."

Seeing that the two guys were not listening, Yan Bugui stamped his feet in anger: "You two want to piss me off to death, don't you?!"

"Dad, do we men have to talk about this? With your personality, would you be willing to die before you spend the money you saved?"

"Don't try to convince us. We all remember what Big Brother taught us."

When talking about Yan Jiecheng, Yan Bugui felt angry and guilty.

He was angry because Yan Jiecheng, the unfilial son, had caused his family to offend the Bai family, and because the boy had cheated him out of a large sum of money. He felt guilty because he was worried that Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang would follow his example and also separate from him. Then he would be left alone when he got old.

"Please don't waste time. Just tell me whether you will pay me or not."

"Liu Guangfu just ran out with blood all over his face. Regardless of whether he went to call the police or not, people outside would definitely call the police or the street office when they saw his bloody appearance. By then, when they arrive, you won't have a chance to show off."

Yan Bugui hesitated for a moment: "...I'll give you ten cents, hurry up and work!"

"You think you can get rid of us brothers with just one dime? You're dreaming. We should get at least two dollars."

"It's two pieces per person!"

Yan Bugui was so angry that he almost jumped up, but he didn't want others to know his plan, so he could only lower his voice: "Two pieces per person!? Why don't you just go and rob them!?"

"That's different. Robbery is against the law, but it's not against the law for my son to ask me for money."

"Just tell me whether you will give it or not."

"Two dollars is too much, ten cents per person at most?"

"Huh?" Yan Jiefang's eyes widened. "Dad, you were planning to let Jie Kuang and I share five cents each. Otherwise, you would say that you are calculating. You treat your own son as a beggar. You are awesome."

Yan Bugui has been calculating more than ever since his salary was cut. He didn’t feel ashamed when he heard this. He said with a straight face, “Then you don’t even listen to the price you’re asking for. There’s absolutely no room for negotiation on two dollars per person!”

"If there is no negotiation, then there is no negotiation. If you have the ability, go find someone else to do this job. See who in the yard is willing to help you become the manager again."

"..." Yan Bugui was choked and speechless, but he also knew that what Yan Jiefang said was true. Although he paid for the banquet and apologized to the courtyard, his reputation was already bad. If his calculations were known to other families, they would definitely not help. This matter could only be done by his own family.

Yan Jiefang knew this clearly, so he dared to quote such a high price.

Yan Bugui did not want to miss this opportunity to become the boss again, so he had to talk to his son about the price. After some wrangling, the two brothers finally agreed to pay 1.5 yuan each.

Yan Bugui took out three dollars with great pain and gave them to the two brothers. Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang happily took the money and then stepped forward to separate Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai, who were almost exhausted.

Chapter 140 Liu Guangfu's Report on His Father Was Exposed

After Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were torn apart, the styles on both sides were not generally ugly.

Yi Zhonghai's left eye socket was completely swollen into a big eye bubble, with only a thin slit on top, and you couldn't even tell what was wrong with his eye.

Yi Zhonghai's nose was also hit hard, and the blood from his nose splashed all over his face, which looked like a great man splashing ink and writing with his brush.

The right ear in the bangs was also bleeding, and the blood flowed from the ear to the neck and then into the clothes. It looked scary.

As for the body, I don't know if it's because of the fat in the bangs that makes it more resistant to blows, but it doesn't seem to matter much.

As soon as Yi and Liu were separated by the Yan brothers, Zhu Xiuying rushed over and scratched Yi Zhonghai's face: "I told you not to beat up our Lao Liu! I told you not to spread gossip about our family! I'm going to fight you!"

Apart from being an official, the thing Liu Haizhong wanted most in his life was to be better than Yi Zhonghai. Now that he saw his wife was so tough and Yi Zhonghai's wife was in poor health and had difficulty speaking loudly, he felt like he had won and laughed:

"Yi Zhonghai! My wife is better than yours!"

"And I have a son! You, a bastard, will never have a son in your life!"

"Guangqi! Guangtian! Hit him!"

Liu Haizhong's words sounded like "closing the door and letting the dogs out". It was hard to say whether Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian were willing to be dogs and be "released" by Liu Haizhong, but Director Wang, with a sullen face, had already walked in.

"Liu Haizhong! Who do you want to hit!?"

"Wang, Director Wang!"

Seeing Director Wang coming, Liu Haizhong ignored the pain in his body and quickly got up. Zhu Xiuying also quickly stopped, but Director Wang saw what Liu Haizhong had just said and the way Zhu Xiuying tickled Yi Zhonghai.

When Yan Bugui saw Director Wang coming, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Director Wang, Lao Liu and Lao Yi were fighting fiercely just now. It took my son a lot of effort to pull them apart."

Director Wang listened to Yan Bugui's words that seemed to be seeking credit, but his face was still very ugly. He said, "You knew to ask people to pull them apart, but why didn't you ask people to find the police or notify the street office? And you wanted Liu Guangfu to run away with serious injuries?"

What Director Wang didn't say was that if Liu Guangfu ran out with blood all over his face, people would think there was a murderer in Nanluoguxiang. What would she, as the director of the street office, do?

What's more important is that Director Wang is almost annoyed now. Coupled with the previous incident, Director Wang doesn't have a good impression of Yan Bugui. Under the double BUFF, no matter what Yan Bugui says or does, it is wrong in Director Wang's eyes.

Yan Bugui really wants to show off, so let's wait until Director Wang is in a particularly good mood.

Yan Bugui wanted to sell himself well and show off his reputation, but he was scolded by Director Wang. He lowered his head and stood aside angrily.

Yan Bugui doesn't have a good reputation and popularity now, and the residents in the yard are all gloating over his misfortune.

The brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang looked at each other and made the same decision.

If Yan Bugui asked them to return the money he had just given him because he failed to return to his position as the manager, they would definitely not give it to him.

Without Zhu Xiuying's entanglement, Yi Zhonghai seized the opportunity to complain: "Director Wang! Liu Haizhong's family beat me for no reason, I want to sue them!"

The only thing left for Liu Haizhong now is the position of the manager, so he was afraid of offending Director Wang. When he heard Yi Zhonghai complaining, Liu Haizhong quickly explained: "Director Wang! I took action because Yi Zhonghai spread rumors about my family and I was angry."

"Bah! Are those rumors about your family just nonsense?! You are engaged in speculation and profiteering, and your son was fired for bribery. The entire steel mill knows about these things, and you still want me to spread gossip about your family? Where is your face in the bangs?!"

Liu Haizhong's eloquence was not as good as Yi Zhonghai's, and what Yi Zhonghai said was indeed true, so Liu Haizhong had no way to refute it. He could only blush and shout, "Yi Zhonghai, you are talking nonsense!"

Director Wang was already very upset because of the constant incidents in this courtyard. Now she heard the quarrel between Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, which was noisier than the market. Her forehead was throbbing, and the anger that had been pent up for a long time finally broke through her limit.

"That's enough! Shut up, everyone!!"

With a roar, the whole courtyard immediately became quiet.

Director Wang is the grassroots official who has the most contact with the people. In order to have a good reputation and facilitate future promotion, he is usually friendly. Most of the Director Wangs seen in the courtyard are like this.

This time Director Wang was furious, and most people in the hospital realized that Director Wang was really angry. Even if the matter had nothing to do with them, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look Director Wang in the eye.

The street offices these days are qualified to manage the birth, aging, illness, death, food, clothing, housing and transportation of the common people. For ordinary people, they are like the great rulers of heaven, and no one dares to offend them.

Director Wang glanced coldly at the entire courtyard: "You guys in this courtyard are really endless! Today I must sort out all your affairs one by one!"

"Liu Guangfu, you speak first!"

Liu Guangfu knew that he could never go back to the Liu family. Now that he had the support of the Street Office, he had no worries and pointed directly at Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi: "Director Wang! They were the ones who teamed up to beat me! They even wanted to kill me!"

Liu Haizhong was furious: "You're talking nonsense! It was obviously you..."

"Liu Haizhong, shut up!" Director Wang shouted, "I'll give you a chance to explain later, now get out of here!"

Director Wang is now extremely annoyed with Liu Haizhong. He originally let Liu Haizhong be the boss in the hope that he would manage the yard well and cause less trouble for the Street Office. But it has not been long since this incident happened. It would be strange for Director Wang to be happy.

Although Liu Haizhong wanted to beat Liu Guangfu to death, he did not dare to confront the power, so he could only stand aside like a toad, holding his breath.

Liu Guangfu pointed at his head and said, "Director Wang, look, the wound on my head was caused by Liu Guangqi hugging me from behind and Liu Haizhong hitting me with a belt. The bleeding hasn't stopped yet! If I wasn't so strong, I might be lying in the morgue now. They want to kill me!?"

The wound on Liu Guangfu's head was indeed shocking. Although he was not seriously injured as he could still stand and speak loudly, the wound on his head was indeed dangerous. Liu Guangfu was fine this time, but if this kind of violent behavior is not stopped, he might beat someone to death next time.

Director Wang did not want a murder to happen in the place he was in charge of, so he asked coldly, "Liu Haizhong, Liu Guangqi, why did you beat Liu Guangfu?"

Liu Haizhong held it in for a long time. When he heard Director Wang finally ask him, he quickly pointed at Liu Guangfu and shouted, "It's all because of this unfilial beast! He actually reported me!!"

When this sentence was shouted out, it was like dropping a bomb in the courtyard, and the whole courtyard exploded instantly.

Chapter 141: See the branch family again, Bai Wanli, you old man

Report the father as a son

This kind of thing would cause huge controversy even in the 21st century, let alone now.

For those who are older, they are used to the fact that men and husbands are the sky and the pillars of the family. Even Yan Bugui felt angry when Yan Jiecheng took the initiative to propose to divide the family. He felt that even if the family was to be divided, it should be proposed by the father. How could the son have the right to separate from the father?

Liu Haizhong was authoritarian and arbitrary at home, and this was also known to everyone in the courtyard. Being reported by his own son was probably really against the will of heaven and against human ethics for him.

Although the other people in the courtyard were not as arrogant and authoritarian as Liu Haizhong, they also found Liu Guangfu's actions inconceivable.

"The entire Liu family was arrested today. Was it Liu Guangfu who reported them?"

"How dare he do that? No wonder the master is so angry."

"He is so bold that he reported his own father and brother. If it were my son, I would break his legs!"

Although everyone felt that Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi were too cruel and almost beat Liu Guangfu to death, and they all felt sorry for him, after learning about Liu Guangfu's report, they began to side with Liu Haizhong. After all, they didn't want their children or other family members to follow suit and report them.

Director Wang had received the notice and knew about the punishment of Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi by the steel mill, but it was the first time for her to know that they were reported by Liu Guangfu. This kind of reporting of one's own father was something she had never seen before as a director of the street office who had worked for many years.

Seeing that the situation was gradually turning in Liu Haizhong's favor, Liu Guangfu thought: "I can't let this go on any longer. At this point, even if I kneel down and kowtow to this fat guy and beg for mercy, he won't let me go. I might as well give it a try!"

Liu Guangfu made up his mind, stiffened his neck, and shouted:

"That's right! I was the one who reported you! What can you do?!"

Liu Haizhong was furious: "How dare you be so arrogant, you beast! I am your father!"

"So what if you are my father!? The point is that you are speculating and profiteering, which is wrong. Just because you are my father, should I protect you? Bullshit, I am killing my relatives for the sake of justice. I am not letting you go down the wrong path forever. Director Wang, am I right?"

Liu Guangfu knew that if the wind in the courtyard really leaned towards Liu Haizhong, he would definitely not be able to argue with the whole courtyard alone, so he directly involved Director Wang.

Director Wang was also speechless. If she were reported by her child, she would probably want to beat the unfilial son to death. But as a cadre, she couldn't say that. She had to maintain the discipline of the organization.

Although Liu Guangfu's report on Liu Haizhong was wrong in terms of human ethics and emotions, it was not wrong in terms of discipline and was meritorious. When Director Wang was directly questioned by Liu Guangfu, he could only bite the bullet and answer:

"Liu Guangfu is right. He discovered that his father had violated the rules and regulations, and he reported it in time to stop it. This is the right thing to do. Liu Haizhong, Liu Guangqi, you two beat him because of this. This is your fault."
