Chapter 2899: Kick Yi Zhonghai out of the courtyard!
"Hehe, thank you for your concern. I'm fine. If you're alright, you can go back now. It's good to want to improve, but don't always resort to these crooked methods!"

Xu Damao couldn't help but say that last bit.

But things got a little out of hand. Liu Haizhong misunderstood, his mouth practically stretched to his ears, completely missing the meaning behind the words. He thought the other person was moved by his sincerity.

"Captain Xu, don't worry, I promise I'll work hard!"

Seeing his energetic, almost hyped-up expression, Xu Damao was momentarily stunned. "No, I just..."

"Captain Xu, you're busy!"

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he strode out of the backyard with an arrogant and domineering air, a demeanor that even surprised the third uncle who was coming home from get off work.

What's wrong with Old Liu?
What's wrong with you?!

Xu Damao was both amused and exasperated. When he returned to the house, the water bucket was empty, so he carried the bucket to the front yard to fetch some water.

By this time, it was already dark, the lights of the government offices were on, the wisps of smoke from the chimneys gradually faded, and the chaotic courtyard slowly quieted down, with only the occasional sound of people disciplining their children coming from one household.

After filling the water bucket, Xu Damao was about to carry it to the backyard when he realized something was wrong with the main house facing north. Sha Zhu had been taken into custody by the security department, so why was there still noise coming from inside the house?
He placed the bucket against the wall and quietly hid it without making a sound.

About ten minutes later, a furtive little figure was seen tiptoeing out of Sha Zhu's house.

Xu Damao laughed at that moment. Isn't this little rascal a jerk?
I can't be bothered with this nonsense. If I don't care when he's young, he'll regret it when he grows up. This little brat has been spoiled rotten, and he's bound to have a bad future.

……

"what?"

When Yi Zhonghai learned the next day that Sha Zhu had been arrested by the security department again, he was completely devastated.

What's wrong with this?

Your hands and feet are always dirty!

He called Qin Huairu outside the workshop. "What exactly happened?"

"Uncle, I don't know either!" Qin Huairu tried to remain calm.

"How come I heard it was because of the lunchbox?" Yi Zhonghai's mood at that time was hard to describe, neither good nor bad.

He did indeed often ask Sha Zhu to help the Jia family out of poverty. His idea was similar to that of the deaf old lady: only by getting close to widows could one eventually find a wife.

After all, what if he finds a powerful wife? How will he take care of himself in his old age? She certainly won't take care of a stranger like him who has no blood relation. So, Zhu Zi can only make do with this for now.

Yi Zhonghai had planned everything out. She even knew Jia Zhangshi's thoughts. She didn't care whether Sha Zhu would have children in the future, as long as she could ensure that she would have enough to eat and wear for the rest of her life.

Thinking that after a few years, she would persuade the Jia family to marry Qin Huairu to Sha Zhu, so that she would be able to live a life of comfort and have someone to take care of her when she got old.

But despite thinking this way, she didn't want Sha Zhuzi to be manipulated by Qin Huairu like this. What if he didn't want to serve her anymore?
"Huai Ru, Zhu Zi is in big trouble this time. He has to tell me the truth: is all of this related to you or not?"

"Master Yi, what kind of talk is that? I didn't order Sha Zhu to do anything, so why do you say it has anything to do with me?" Qin Huairu also turned her back on everyone and would never admit that she had asked Sha Zhu to handle the grain. Just a moment ago she was calling him "Grandpa," but in an instant she became Master Yi.

Because of the limitations imposed on women by the times, she prioritized her children above all else, not caring about her own future as long as her son Banggeng could live a good life!

Faced with Qin Huairu's departure, Yi Zhonghai was at a loss. He couldn't keep pressing her in public; women were not to be trifled with.

Go quickly and ask the workshop director for leave.

"Old Yi, the construction period is so tight, and you want to take an afternoon off. How am I, the workshop director, supposed to work?" The workshop director was very critical of Yi Zhonghai, mainly because he was stingy and unwilling to teach his apprentices.

If other workshops have an eighth-level worker, they have a whole bunch of apprentices and grand-apprentices. They don't even have to do any work; their apprentices serve them tea and water. They just go over to take a look when there's some kind of difficult problem.

There are nearly 20 fitters, welders, and other workers in all the workshops, belonging to different production departments, and there is a production competition among them.

The Second Workshop had the title of an eighth-grade worker, but it didn't actually bring any benefits. The workshop director was ridiculed by his colleagues, and he also got scolded by the production department from time to time.

Yi Zhonghai doesn't teach any of his tricks. Over the years, he's had countless disciples. Apart from Jia Dongxu, who's practically a walking encyclopedia, no matter how much you serve or even kowtow to the others, it's useless.

So it would be strange if the workshop director gave him a friendly face, after all, he had begged him countless times and even condescended to personally give him gifts, but he still did things his own way.

There's nothing we can do about him, after all, he's a level eight craftsman with exceptional skills, and we can't just make things difficult for him because he's unwilling to teach apprentices.

In the end, though reluctantly, they could only grant him an afternoon off.

After taking leave, Yi Zhonghai rushed to the security department to find out what was going on. He learned that Sha Zhu had skimped on the meat for the banquet, and he felt like rushing over to slap them both.

Now he's starting to doubt whether his choice was right or wrong. He's practically crawling between a widow's legs. If he were to marry Qin Huairu, wouldn't the Jia family have him completely under their thumb?
But at this point, they could only make the best of a bad situation. Yi Zhonghai had a stubborn streak in his bones. He had put so much effort into Sha Zhu over the years, and it was finally starting to take shape. Naturally, he was unwilling to give up so easily.

Just as Yi Zhonghai was trying to find a way to rescue Sha Zhu.

"Captain Xu, what exactly did Yi Zhonghai do to offend you?" asked an officer in charge of personnel transfer in the production department, somewhat curious.

"Yi Zhonghai may seem honest and kind on the surface, but he's actually full of tricks and schemes. He's been our neighbor for so many years and has messed with us countless times!"

Xu Damao wasn't lying. Every time the original owner had a conflict with Sha Zhu, this "moral sage" would jump out to take sides and even instigate Sha E to oppose him.

And they even dared to report me!

If he hadn't fallen into the security department's hands, he might have actually succeeded.

So, through connections in the production department, the only thing they wanted was to transfer Yi Zhonghai out of the steel rolling mill and demote him directly to a subordinate branch factory on the Tongxian line.

This way, it would be perfectly reasonable to drive him out of the courtyard house, eliminating any future troubles and allowing him to live a peaceful life for more than ten years.

Of course... it wasn't as simple as Xu Damao talking to him to get rid of him. There were countless layers of connections involved, and first of all, he had to get past their workshop director.

After several days of tireless effort, I finally achieved my goal.

So… Yi Zhonghai was dumbfounded; he was still busy saving his “son”!

"Director, are you joking?"

To be continued...
