Siheyuan: Start with a big car

The residents in the compound had long known that Jia Zhang had returned, and had heard her quarrel with Sha Zhu.
But no one paid much attention to it. After all, how could a person like Jia Zhang not quarrel with others?

But now, when they heard Jia Zhang cursing Sha Zhu, everyone came out to see what was going on.

"Oh, this is strange. Shazhu has a bad temper. Jia Zhang used to be afraid of him. What happened today?"

"Maybe Jia Zhang has some evidence against Sha Zhu. Let's go and join in the fun."

"Yes, when the old man comes back later, he will definitely solve this matter in a few words. By then, we won't even be able to watch the fun."

Most people in the compound are satisfied with Li Weidong, the uncle. The only thing they are not satisfied with is that Li Weidong handles things too quickly.

Every time people like Qin Huairu and Liu Haizhong caused trouble, Li Weidong would deal with them in no time, and as a result, no one had any fun to watch.

At this time, everyone gathered around.

Seeing more and more people gathering outside, Jia Zhang knew the time had come, and immediately shouted loudly, "You all probably know that I was kidnapped a while ago and suffered a lot of injustice in that dilapidated temple.

If Sha Zhu had rescued me in time, I wouldn't have to suffer so much."

Jia Zhang repeated her previous explanation in detail, then pointed at Sha Zhu's nose and said, "Sha Zhu is the second uncle in our compound. Do you think it is appropriate for him to do such a thing?"

I have to say that Jia Zhang is quite capable of making trouble.

With just a few words, she made some residents feel that she was making sense.

“In fact, I suggested to Sha Zhu that he keep searching, since Jia Zhang had not been rescued yet.

Who knew that Sha Zhu was afraid of getting into trouble and didn’t care about the follow-up matters. "

"From this perspective, what Sha Zhu did was indeed not right."

"But two hundred dollars is indeed too much. I think we should just let Sha Zhu give Jia Zhang ten dollars."

Hearing the residents' comments, Sha Zhu's eyes turned red with anxiety: "How can you say that? I mean well!"

Hearing this, Jia Zhang snorted coldly: "Silly Zhu, are you kidding?
I know you've always resented me for trying to stop you and Qin Huairu, but I was doing it for your own good.

Look, you have married a good wife now and are living a good life.

What, you are still not satisfied? I didn't expect that not only did you not thank me, but you also turned evil into a reward, wanting me to die there."

This is what it means to deliberately confuse right and wrong.

Moreover, this time, Jia Zhang also dragged Qin Huairu into it, which indirectly confirmed the truthfulness of her words and made them even more confusing.

Liu Haizhong certainly knew that Jia Zhang was making trouble, but seeing this situation, he felt it necessary to suppress Sha Zhu. As long as Sha Zhu's prestige was reduced, he might still have a chance to regain the position of the second master.

Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong straightened his collar and walked forward with his big belly: "Shazhu, since you became the second uncle, I found that you have been out of touch with the masses. You used to be so enthusiastic. Whenever there was something in the compound, you would take the initiative to help.

Now that you are a leader, you don't care about what happens in the compound.

Especially this kidnapping incident concerns the life and safety of Jia Zhang, and you actually chose to stand idly by. This is totally wrong.

You should apologize to Jia Zhang immediately and pay some money."

Sha Zhu was already angry, and after hearing Liu Haizhong's confusing words, he was even more furious and clenched his fists, ready to hit Liu Haizhong. He had finally fallen into Liu Haizhong's trap this time.

Liu Haizhong took two steps back, pointed at Sha Zhu's nose and said, "Everyone has seen it. Sha Zhu wanted to hit someone even though he was unreasonable. Everyone, come and see, how can such a person be worthy of being the second uncle?"

The residents who were watching were also shocked by Sha Zhu's actions.

In fact, the residents in the compound have some opinions about Sha Zhu.

At the beginning, Sha Zhu was indiscriminate and often beat people for no reason, relying on Yi Zhonghai's protection.

In the original novel, everyone thinks Xu Damao is a bad guy, but apart from letting the Lou family down, Xu Damao really hasn't done anything too outrageous.

Moreover, Xu Damao would give the mountain products he got from going to the countryside to the residents in the compound. Even if he could not be considered a good person, he was not a bad person either.

The people that Xu Damao targeted all had grudges against him.

But Shazhu is different. This guy is a little bit weird. Even if you haven't offended him, he will still punish you severely.

Just like the time when the bicycle wheel was lost from the Third Uncle's house, the Third Uncle was kind enough to introduce a girl to Sha Zhu, but the girl didn't like Sha Zhu. As a result, Sha Zhu blamed the Third Uncle for this and took off the wheel of the bicycle from the Third Uncle's house under the cover of night.

If Third Uncle had not discovered it in time, Yi Zhonghai would not have bought a wheel for Sha Zhu and returned it to Third Uncle.

If you meet this kind of person, it's no use trying to avoid him.

So Sha Zhu is more threatening than Xu Damao.

Now hearing Liu Haizhong's words, the residents of the compound remembered what happened in the past and immediately pointed at Sha Zhu.

"Yeah, I also think that Shazhu is not the right person to be this second uncle."

"Shazhu is now the director of the steel mill cafeteria. Logically, he should share some of the benefits with the staff. But now, Shazhu doesn't even take leftovers home."

"Yes, yes, you are absolutely right.

Today when I was eating in the cafeteria, Sha Zhu deliberately gave me one less spoonful of food. Isn’t that infuriating?”

Faced with the accusations from the residents, Sha Zhu realized that he seemed to have made a big mistake.

But now he wanted to explain, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

Just then, Li Weidong came out.

Seeing Li Weidong, Sha Zhu was relieved: "Uncle, you are finally back. Please help me explain."

Li Weidong said with a straight face: "What's there to explain, Shazhu? This is not your fault at all. Why do you need to explain?"

This is actually true. The reason why Sha Zhu was controlled by Jia Zhang was because he had a preconceived notion that he had a certain responsibility towards Jia Zhang.

If Sha Zhu had thought from the beginning that Jia Zhang was just fooling around and had simply closed the door and left Jia Zhang outside, none of these things would have happened.

Li Weidong has always felt that after Sha Zhu became the second uncle and the canteen director, he should have certain leadership abilities.

But Sha Zhu's performance today made him a little disappointed.

With Shazhu's current state, even if he doesn't suffer a loss today, he will definitely suffer a loss in the future.

Sha Zhu also realized that he had made a mistake and smiled awkwardly: "Brother Weidong, it is indeed my fault that I did not handle this matter well this time, so I hope you can help me."

Sha Zhu is now Li Weidong's ally in the courtyard, so Li Weidong naturally cannot just watch him being bullied. And Liu Haizhong seems to be targeting Sha Zhu, but in fact he is targeting Li Weidong.

Thinking of this, Li Weidong walked forward and coughed lightly.

The scene fell silent instantly.

Liu Haizhong wanted to say something, but when Li Weidong glanced at him, he was suddenly unable to utter a word.

Li Weidong looked around coldly and said, "I was not at the scene when Jia Zhang disappeared, so I don't know exactly what happened. But I want to ask everyone, who should be in charge of Jia Zhang's disappearance?"

This question was very simple. Immediately, a resident raised his hand and said, "Then we must report it to the police station and let the comrades there investigate."

Li Weidong continued, "Since this matter should be handled by the comrades at the police station, why are you putting the blame on Sha Zhu now that Qin Huairu didn't report the case and asked him to help, and Sha Zhu did help?"

Hearing Li Weidong's words, the residents who were watching were stunned.

"Yeah, this matter has nothing to do with Shazhu."

"I heard that Jia Zhang cheated Qin Huairu out of her betrothal money, which is why she was kidnapped. She just didn't dare to report it."

"I think Jia Zhang is just being unreasonable by asking Sha Zhu to borrow money this time."

Liu Haizhong didn't expect that Li Weidong could turn the situation around with just one sentence.

Because Liu Haizhong was beaten badly by Li Weidong in the previous few times, he didn't want to take action against Li Weidong.

But Liu Haizhong didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. After all, only if Sha Zhu took on this responsibility would he have a chance to become the second uncle again.

Liu Haizhong stood up again: "Uncle, I respect you very much, but it doesn't seem right for you to say that Sha Zhu has no responsibility at all. I know you have a good relationship with Sha Zhu, but you can't protect Sha Zhu."

Li Weidong said calmly: "Liu Haizhong, let me ask you another question. If an old lady falls on the road, and you help her to the hospital,

Your wife asked you to pay for the medical expenses and even falsely accused you of hitting her. What do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Haizhong's expression changed. Although he felt that the two could not be compared, he could not say anything to refute.

After all, as a victim, Jia Zhang is indeed easy to sympathize with, but it was not Sha Zhu who kidnapped Jia Zhang, but now the responsibility is being put on Sha Zhu. Logically speaking, these two things are the same.

Liu Haizhong is a smart man.

After realizing that he had nothing to say, he immediately smiled awkwardly: "Oh, Uncle, you are so good at theory. Why didn't I think of this? Uncle Li, don't worry, I, Liu Haizhong, absolutely support your decision."

"Come on, Liu Haizhong, everyone knows what you're thinking.

I didn't bother with you because we are neighbors. If you continue like this, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later."

Li Weidong warned Liu Haizhong, who shrank his neck in fear, then turned around and ran away.

Seeing Liu Haizhong like this, the second aunt asked about what happened and complained to him, "Liu Haizhong, I have told you so many times not to go against Li Weidong, but you just didn't listen. Now you are being punished again, right? Do you still remember Yi Zhonghai?"
He was such a smart guy, but he was still defeated by Li Weidong. "

Liu Haizhong waved his hand at her impatiently: "Old woman, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm telling you, sooner or later I will take back the position of Second Master, and no one can stop me."

Just kidding, Liu Haizhong’s biggest dream in life is to become a rich man, and he will never give up this idea.

At this time, Li Weidong was already in the courtyard, looking at the residents and said, "Okay, it's getting late. Now that the matter has been clarified, everyone should go back. I hope you won't believe everything you hear in the future."

"Yes, yes, that's right. Uncle is right. We were indeed too reckless this time and misunderstood Shazhu."

The residents in the compound dispersed one after another.

Jia Zhang knew that she couldn't extort money from Sha Zhu this time, so she turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Li Weidong.

"Li Weidong, what are you doing? This is just a misunderstanding. I misunderstood Shazhu, but I didn't frame him on purpose. You can't do anything to me."

Jia Zhang looked at Li Weidong and shrank her neck in fear.

Li Weidong said in a cold voice: "Jia Zhang, you know the truth better than me. But I warn you now, if you cause trouble in the compound again, you will be the one who suffers."

Qin Huairu was watching nearby. She was afraid that Jia Zhang would cause trouble again, so she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Jia Zhang's arm, saying to Li Weidong, "Don't worry, uncle. I will definitely keep a good eye on Jia Zhang in the future and will never let her cause trouble again."

Li Weidong gave her a few more instructions before leaving.

When Jia Zhang returned home, Banggeng had been lying on the bed. When he saw her come back, he hurriedly asked if she had borrowed the money.

"Don't mention it. I was almost done this time, but Li Weidong came back and gave me a scolding."

Bang Geng immediately got angry: "This Li Weidong is a piece of shit. It would be fine if he didn't want to help, but now someone is willing to help, but he's still stopping them. I think he just wants to see our family starve."

Banggeng cursed for a while, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he didn't dare to face Li Weidong.

"Grandma, what should I do now? I'm hungry, go borrow some money."

Hearing Bang Geng's words, Jia Zhang sighed, "Now that this matter has become so serious, all the residents in the compound know about it, and Li Weidong also said that if I cause trouble again, he will never let me go."

Bang Geng suddenly thought of someone, his eyes lit up: "Grandma, go to Yi Zhonghai to borrow money. Yi Zhonghai is Li Weidong's old enemy. Even if you quarrel with Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai will not dare to tell Li Weidong."

Jia Zhang's eyes lit up and she slapped her thigh: "Oh, how could I forget about Yi Zhonghai."

Qin Huairu heard this and said worriedly: "Yi Zhonghai is just a temporary worker now, and his salary is not much. How can he be willing to lend us money?"

Jia Zhang curled her lips and said, "Qin Huairu, you are underestimating me. I tell you, you don't know my ability as an old woman yet."

Seeing that Jia Zhang had made up her mind, Qin Huairu said no more.

After all, it would be a good thing if Jia Zhang could borrow money.

Jia Zhang was an impatient person, so she went to Yi Zhonghai's house immediately.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai had already started eating. Seeing Jia Zhangshi coming in, he smiled and said, "Jia Zhangshi, you were so impressive just now."

Yi Zhonghai was actually at the scene just now. He did not speak up for Jia Zhang because he expected that Jia Zhang would not succeed.

Are you kidding? Sha Zhu definitely won’t give two hundred dollars at once, and in the end Jia Zhangshi will end up with nothing.

Jia Zhangshi seemed not to realize the sarcasm in his words. She swaggered into the room and sat down.

Seeing that Jia Zhang was not at all shy, the aunt was a little at a loss for a moment.

You have to know that in those days, although people often visited each other, they would never visit each other during meal times.

The reason is very simple. If you go to someone's house, don't they have to invite you to dinner?
