Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1168 Yi Zhonghai pulls people
After dealing with the Jia family, and with Jia Zhang, the noisy and quarrelsome "mouth battle king", Yi Zhonghai knew that if he wanted to make a fuss about this matter, he would need a thug who could calm the situation, and he had already set his sights on Sha Zhu.

Yi Zhonghai walked slowly to Sha Zhu's door and knocked on it.

After a while, the door creaked open, and Sha Zhu appeared at the door in his long johns. When he saw that it was Yi Zhonghai standing outside the door, he immediately showed an unhappy look on his face.

To be honest, Sha Zhu had a very hard time recently. He had a problem with his work at the factory, and his salary was deducted a lot. His family was almost unable to make ends meet. He had hoped that Yi Zhonghai, the elder in the compound, would help him, but he waited and waited, and there was no movement from Yi Zhonghai. He was so angry, thinking that Yi Zhonghai was too unkind. He always acted like an elder, but when it came to the critical moment, he turned a blind eye to his difficulties.

So when he saw Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu said unhappily: "Hey, isn't this an old man? What brings you here today? Why, did you think of me?" While saying this, he folded his arms and stood at the door, with no intention of letting Yi Zhonghai in.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu's unhappy face and knew that this guy had a lot of complaints against him. He quickly said with a smile: "Sha Zhu, are you angry with me? I am not having a good life. You know, my pension is just enough to make a living. How can I have spare money to help you?"

When Sha Zhu heard this, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and he snorted with disdain: "Hey, old man, don't cry about being poor to me here. I can't interfere in your business. Anyway, you didn't help me when I was in the most difficult time, so don't talk nonsense to me here now." As he said that, he reached out to close the door.

When Yi Zhonghai saw that Sha Zhu was about to lock him out, he got anxious and quickly held the door with his hand, lowering his voice and saying, "Sha Zhu, don't be in a hurry to close the door. I came here today because I have something good to tell you."

Sha Zhu frowned and said impatiently: "Good news? What good news can there be? What good news can you think of me for?"

Yi Zhonghai chuckled and said mysteriously, "Shazhu, you have always wanted to find a good job, right? I have an opportunity. As long as you cooperate with my plan, I guarantee that you can work as a cook in the Lanhua Automobile Factory. Think about it, it's a lucrative job, and you won't have to live as tight as you do now."

Sha Zhu sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm. He thought to himself: Humph, you old man, do you think I'm stupid? Liu Hai and I can get some meat every now and then, and the money is enough for me to spend, so there's no need to waste that effort. Besides, you old fox suddenly came to me, who knows what bad intentions you have.

So, Sha Zhu curled his lips and said nonchalantly: "Uncle, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm not interested. I'm living a good and free life now, and I don't want to be tied down by a car factory. You should find someone else." After saying that, he pretended to close the door, not wanting to talk to Yi Zhonghai anymore.

Yi Zhonghai never thought that Sha Zhu would disdain such a good opportunity. He was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Sha Zhu, don't be ungrateful. Although I don't know what you are doing all day long, I know in my heart that it is definitely not the right way. Aren't you afraid of being caught one day? If that happens, you will be completely finished, and the rest of your life will be ruined!"

When Sha Zhu heard this, his heart skipped a beat, but he still said firmly: "Uncle, please stop making blind guesses here. What bad things can I do? Please don't curse me for no reason."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu and snorted coldly, "Hmph, don't be so stubborn. If you really have the confidence, you won't be so guilty. Think about it carefully. Now there is a legitimate opportunity in front of you. As long as you do as I say and get into the Lanhua Automobile Factory as a cook, what will that be like? There are so many leaders in the factory. If you cook for them every day in the cafeteria, you will have to deal with them every day, right? If you get to know them well, any leader can help you, and you will be rich, right? Isn't it better than your current sneaky life?"

After hearing this, Sha Zhu's heart began to beat. He knew that Yi Zhonghai had some truth in what he said. After all, the stealing of meat by him and Liu Haizhong was a hidden danger. If they were caught one day, they would be in big trouble. Moreover, if he could really be a cook in the car factory and meet so many leaders, he might really have a good future. Thinking of this, the expression on his face relaxed a little, but he still said hesitantly: "Uncle, what you said can really work? Don't fool me."

When Yi Zhonghai saw that Sha Zhu showed signs of being moved, he was secretly delighted and quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Sha Zhu, when have I ever lied to you? As long as you agree, we can plan it carefully and it will definitely work. When the time comes, just wait and enjoy yourself."

Sha Zhu frowned, scratched his messy hair, looked at Yi Zhonghai with some suspicion in his eyes, and said: "Uncle, what you said sounds good, but why should I believe you? You have cheated me many times before. If you cheat me again this time, I will really have no way to survive."

Yi Zhonghai looked anxious and said hurriedly: "Shazhu, I am really doing this for your own good. Look, I am so old, how can I still lie to a young man like you?"

Sha Zhu didn't buy it. He stiffened his neck and said in a tough manner, "No, you are a sir. Words are not enough. You have to swear to the heavens. If you dare to play tricks on me this time, I will let you..." Sha Zhu thought for a moment and said through gritted teeth, "I will let you be struck by lightning and die a miserable death. Do you dare to swear?"

Yi Zhonghai was a little hesitant when he heard this. This oath was no joke, but looking at Sha Zhu's resolute look, if he didn't swear, this kid would definitely not believe him. He gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, raised his right hand, and said to the sky: "I, Yi Zhonghai, swear to the sky, if I play a trick on Sha Zhu this time, let me be struck by lightning, die a miserable death, and bring shame to my ancestors."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai swear such a vicious oath, Sha Zhu felt a little relieved and said, "Okay, uncle, I will believe you for once. Tell me what your plan is?"

Yi Zhonghai cleared his throat and explained his plan in detail: "Shazhu, it's like this. We have to teach Wang Weidong a lesson this time. Let's first unite those people in the compound who want their children to enter the car factory, and go to argue with him. If he disagrees, we will make a fuss, and then you will have to take action and beat him up to let him know that we are not easy to mess with. As long as he is afraid, he will definitely agree to our request." When Shazhu heard this, his eyes widened and his face was full of horror and he said, "What? Uncle, you want me to beat Wang Weidong? Are you crazy! Who is Wang Weidong? He is the factory director and an uncle in our compound. If I beat him, I will be in trouble, right? I can't do this, you should find someone else." After saying that, Shazhu took a few steps back, as if he wanted to draw a clear line between himself and this crazy plan.

Yi Zhonghai was waiting for Sha Zhu to agree, but when he saw his reaction, he immediately flew into a rage. He pointed at Sha Zhu and angrily said, "Sha Zhu, you worthless thing! I just swore to heaven, and you want to back down now? If you don't do it, don't blame me for being rude. I tell you, I still have some prestige in this courtyard. If I expose all the sneaky things you have done, and then join forces with the people in the courtyard to drive you out, you can just wait to be homeless on the streets!"

When Sha Zhu heard what Yi Zhonghai said, he was shocked and angry. He didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to do this. His face turned red and he shouted, "Yi Zhonghai, you are so cruel! Are you trying to force me to death? I just don't want to participate in your crappy plan, do you have to do this to me?"

Yi Zhonghai was unmoved and said coldly: "Shazhu, this matter is not up to you. Think about it carefully. Do you want to follow me and have a bright future, or go against me and be driven out of the courtyard and live a hard life. Make your choice."

Sha Zhu stood there, frowning, feeling helpless. He knew that he was now cornered by Yi Zhonghai, with no way out. He gritted his teeth, his eyes showing a trace of unwillingness, but he said helplessly: "Okay, uncle, I promise you. But you have to promise that if this thing goes wrong, you have to protect me."

Seeing that Sha Zhu agreed, Yi Zhonghai showed a satisfied smile on his face. He patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder and said, "Sha Zhu, don't worry. As long as we unite and act according to the plan, nothing will go wrong. When the time comes, you can just wait to be a cook in the Lanhua Automobile Factory and live a good life."

Sha Zhu snorted but thought in his heart: "This old guy is pushing me into the fire pit. I hope he doesn't get himself killed this time." But now that things have come to this, he can only bite the bullet and prepare to participate in this crazy and dangerous plan.

Yi Zhonghai walked towards the Third Uncle's house at a leisurely pace. At this time, he already had a chance of winning, after all, he had dealt with the "stubborn donkey" Sha Zhu. Now, it was up to the Third Uncle.

The Third Uncle is a special person in this courtyard. As the only remaining old steward, he may not have the fighting power of Jia Zhangshi, nor the deterrent power of Sha Zhu, but his position in the hearts of the residents of the courtyard cannot be underestimated. He has always been smart and fair, and everyone respects him. If the Third Uncle can be pulled to his side and let him participate in this action, then in the eyes of other residents, this action against Wang Weidong will be more important, and the chances of winning will be greatly increased.

Yi Zhonghai came to the door of the third uncle's house, took a deep breath, and raised his hand to knock on the door. After a while, the door opened. The third uncle, wearing glasses, looked at Yi Zhonghai with a puzzled look and asked, "Old Yi, what are you doing?" Yi Zhonghai said with a smile on his face, "Third uncle, I want to tell you something. It's about the big event of our compound's children entering the Orchid Automobile Factory. You have to give me face and listen to me." The third uncle frowned slightly, stepped aside to let Yi Zhonghai enter the house, but in his heart he was wondering what Yi Zhonghai was up to.

When Yi Zhonghai entered the house, the third aunt came up to him warmly and said with a smile, "Oh, Old Yi is here. Come and sit down. I'll pour you a cup of tea." Then she turned around to get the tea can.

When the third uncle heard this, he hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Don't put tea leaves in it. It's already night time. If he drinks tea leaves, he won't be able to sleep at night." Although the voice was not loud, it was just loud enough for Yi Zhonghai to hear clearly.

Yi Zhonghai was speechless for a moment, secretly complaining: "This old guy is still so stingy. It's just some tea. Is it necessary to be so stingy?" The muscles on his face twitched slightly, but he soon returned to smiling. He thought that he could not lose the big picture for the sake of small gains. In order for the plan to go smoothly, he had to endure this anger.

So, he smiled and said to the third uncle: "It's okay, third uncle, it's okay without tea, I just come to chat with you." Third aunt smiled awkwardly, but still poured Yi Zhonghai a glass of boiled water and placed it in front of him.

The third uncle sat down and looked at Yi Zhonghai, saying slowly, "Old Yi, why did you come here so late? Do you have any trouble with me?"

Yi Zhonghai picked up the glass of boiled water, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then slowly said, "Uncle San, I came here today to bring you great news. You see, the news that the Lanhua Automobile Factory is recruiting workers is now spreading all over the hospital, and everyone is looking forward to sending their children there. I have a way to get Yan Jiecheng to work in that factory."

When the third uncle heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, but soon returned to normal. He pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile: "Oh? Lao Yi, you can't just say this without any reason. The Lanhua Automobile Factory has strict recruitment requirements. How can you let Jie Cheng in?"

Yi Zhonghai chuckled and said in a low voice: "Uncle, I certainly have my ways. But I have something to ask of you. Please help me with something. As long as this thing is done, Jie Cheng will be able to work in that factory, which is a done deal."

The third uncle was very smart. He understood 70% of what he was saying immediately after hearing this. He frowned, his eyes showing some vigilance, and said, "Old Yi, don't beat around the bush. I think you're going to deal with Wang Weidong, right? Humph, I'm telling you, I won't get involved in this matter. Wang Weidong is not someone you can easily mess with. We don't need to provoke him."

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect that the Third Uncle would see through his intentions so quickly, so he quickly explained: "Third Uncle, don't rush to refuse. Think about it, this is a good opportunity for Jie Cheng to enter the automobile factory. If you miss it, it will be difficult to get it again. We don't want to do anything to Wang Weidong, we just want him to loosen up and give the children a chance. And I have already contacted a lot of people this time, with a large number of people, I am not afraid that Wang Weidong will not agree."
