Restarting life in Siheyuan

"Xu Damao? He copied Yan Jiecheng so blatantly? Didn't the two masters stop him?"

Sha Zhu narrowed his eyes, "That's right, Liu Haizhong is just a fool. When Guo Laosan and the others glared at him, Liu Haizhong was nothing. Yan Jiecheng is also a coward. When they wanted to raid his house, he didn't dare to stop them. He just watched them turn his house upside down and even pried up the blue bricks on the floor."

When talking about this, Sha Zhu seemed a little excited. "You see, the third uncle, oh, now the second uncle, trembled a little when he heard about the broken world, but he didn't dare to stop it. Xu Damao's grandson finally started shaking, and I don't know where he got a crowbar from, but he pried off half of the floor tiles on the ground."

Zhu Xuefeng took a sip in anger, "How dare you watch the fun? Yan Jiecheng has no grudge against him, yet he dares to confiscate your property. Think about yourself. You two have been fighting for so many years, how can he let you go?"

Sha Zhu was stunned, put down the wine glass, thought for a moment, and smiled nonchalantly, "Come if you want to copy me. I am now the only one who can feed the whole family. I have no worries. You can do whatever you want. Don't make me angry. If my brother gets angry, I will give him a full set of gold and jade, hehe."

As soon as Lou Xiao'e left, that carefree Sha Zhu seemed to come back again, and Zhu Xuefeng was a little dazed for a moment.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Xuefeng shook his head and put aside some random thoughts. "It's okay. I slept late these two days and I feel a little sleepy after drinking. Come on, let's speed up and go back to sleep after drinking."

After returning to the compound, Zhu Xuefeng thought a lot. Everything has been different since the end of last year. After February this year, the situation has become more and more serious. It is really meaningless for him to stay there any longer. Zhu Xuefeng decided again to get out quickly.

But Professor Luo was moving too slowly, so Zhu Xuefeng decided that if all else failed, he would take Professor Luo away first, as he was responsible for several important projects of his own.

Just as he made up his mind and secretly met with Professor Luo, new news came from the steel mill that Xu Damao brought a group of people to raid Professor Xu's (Chief Engineer Xu) house.

When Zhu Xuefeng hurriedly arrived, the house was already in tatters, with sets of old furniture smashed and countless books and furniture burned downstairs. Professor Xu slumped in his chair, his eyes wide open.

"Xiao Feng, you're here, take a look..." Chen Rui appeared out of nowhere, pointing at the mess in the room, her eyes full of pain.

"Did Xu Damao and his men do all this?"

"Well, he also stole four of my small yellow croakers. Four! I spent a lot of effort to get them back. Xiaofeng, you have to help me think of a way to get the small yellow croakers back."

"That's enough! Xu Damao said it was his and we stole it from his house. How can you ask for it back? And how come I didn't know there was this thing at home?"

Professor Xu, who had been silent the whole time, growled, which scared Chen Rui. It was the first time that this mild-tempered man growled at her.

Chen Rui was speechless for a moment, and after a while she cried and told him, "It was really me who changed it, I asked someone to change it, you..."

It seems that there is some hidden story. Zhu Xuefeng was also puzzled. Xu Damao had led people to search the houses of the Drama Academy a few days ago, but now he was searching the steel mill’s family quarters. Especially since Professor Xu had no connection with him at all.

Looking at the distraught Professor Xu and the chattering Chen Rui, Chen Rui seemed to have changed a lot. She was wearing a rare dress, and although her delicate little face was covered with tear marks, she was obviously dressed up carefully.

"Uncle, what's going on..."

It turned out that Xu Damao rushed into the house in the name of breaking the SJ. Needless to say, the whole set of old furniture was smashed to pieces in a few strokes and thrown downstairs to be burned along with the books. Xu Damao had the books and furniture burned, but he was still rummaging around in the house. Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Professor Xu could only protect his new drawings tightly.

Xu Damao seemed to have no interest in the new drawings, but he soon found four small yellow croakers in Chen Rui's small drawer and had a fight with Chen Rui. Professor Xu went up to help, but unexpectedly Xu Damao held the small yellow croakers and looked at the couple with contempt.

"Chief Engineer Xu, you two thieves! You even stole my small yellow croaker! Do you want me to call them back so that everyone can see your ugly faces? All intellectuals are really bad people!"

Although Professor Xu didn't know where Chen Rui got the small yellow croaker, he didn't believe Xu Damao's words. Unexpectedly, Xu Damao directly handed him a small yellow croaker.

"Look for yourself. This little yellow croaker has a mark on it that I made. I really didn't wrongly accuse you."

Professor Xu looked at it carefully with a confused look on his face, and sure enough, there was a small "毛" carved crookedly on the small yellow croaker. Then he looked at Chen Rui who was dumbfounded, and Professor Xu felt very disappointed...

In the end, Xu Damao insisted that there were eight in total and four were missing, and he took away Professor Xu's savings of more than 800 yuan over the years. Chen Rui was dumbfounded throughout the whole process, but even after everyone left, she started to make a fuss again.

"You are such a heartless person. You would rather believe him than me. These are really earned by me. Just a few days ago, my younger brothers copied other people's things. I got them in exchange from them." Chen Rui seemed to have seen her old classmates coming over. She seemed to have calmed down and had a backer. She insisted.

"What do the marks on the small yellow croaker say?" Professor Xu sighed quietly. He didn't know when this man started to become vain and pleasure-seeking, and actually... Professor Xu didn't want to think about it anymore. After asking a question in return, he lowered his head again.

"Are you still a man? If you write the word Mao, it belongs to him. He is unreasonable, and neither are you. You would rather trust these bad guys than me. I, I, I will not live any longer."

Chen Rui covered her face and walked away. Zhu Xuefeng frowned, "Uncle, go get her back. You can't keep making trouble."

Professor Xu shook his head. "She has changed. I don't know how much money her family has, but apart from what Xu Damao took away, it would not be enough to exchange for eight small yellow croakers. Even four would not be enough. She is lying to me."

I didn't expect that even though Professor Xu didn't take care of the household expenses, he still had such a clear mind. Looking at the dilapidated house, Zhu Xuefeng asked.

"Uncle, why don't you stay at my place for a while and we can slowly clean up this house."

Professor Xu looked at the dilapidated room and smiled bitterly, "Alas, all my information is gone. I have accumulated it for more than 20 years. Just because it is foreign language documents, they burned it all and called it capitalism. How hateful."

Zhu Xuefeng patted Professor Xu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it. These things are available overseas. Whenever you need them, give me the information and name, and I'll get you another set. It's very easy. It's a pity to lose the set of furniture. It's a treasure."

"No, no, no, knowledge is priceless. Although this set of furniture is valuable, she doesn't like it, so it's not a pity to lose it. It also meets her wishes, and she will have the opportunity to exchange it for a new one."

Zhu Xuefeng was too lazy to argue with him about this matter, and asked again, "Now that it's like this, you can't live here, so why don't you stay at my house for a while? Also, uncle, how are you doing at the steel mill now?" Professor Xu (Xu Changqing) shook his head, "I won't go. I'll stay here to sort it out. There are still a lot of drawings that need to be sorted out. Besides, Chen Rui will definitely come back. As for the factory, hey, it's getting more and more chaotic now. If nothing unexpected happens, this month, even 80% of the plan cannot be completed."

Faced with Professor Xu's insistence, he had nothing to say. Because of Chen Rui, he had never thought of sending Professor Xu away. Lin Na didn't have a very good impression of Chen Rui. She always felt that if she discussed this matter with her uncle, it would most likely be exposed. Now it seems that Lin Na's worries are still justified. After not having much contact for a few years, the classmates of that year seem to have changed.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Xuefeng took out a stack of big black tens and then took out a handful of tickets and handed them over.

"Uncle, take these first. I'll find someone to make another set of furniture for you. Just sort out the list of materials you want, and I'll make another set for you."

Professor Xu looked at the stack of big black tens and estimated that there were about three or four hundred. He waved his hand and said, "Too many. I can't use them."

Zhu Xuefeng stuffed the money and bills into his hands and stood up. "As for Xu Damao, I'll find a chance to deal with him and let you vent your anger."

"Xiao Feng, let's put it this way. I'll take the money first, as a loan. Don't mess with these people. They are not easy to deal with. You brought people to cause trouble at the venue last time. I don't know what you are capable of, but it's better to have less trouble now."

Zhu Xuefeng shook his head, said goodbye to Professor Xu and went downstairs, but saw Chen Rui still waiting downstairs in the dark. She had not gone far. When she saw Zhu Xuefeng coming down, she hurriedly went up to him and reprimanded him.

"You don't speak up for me, and that nerd doesn't come down to see me?"

Zhu Xuefeng just smiled and said, "Go back. He lost the documents and materials he had accumulated over the years and is in a very low mood now. Be considerate of each other. After all, you two are still a couple and you still have to live your life, right?"

"The ghost and his wife are not manly at all. They were fighting and smashing things at home. I was the only woman to stop them. He just held on to his pile of blueprints. Can blueprints be used to make a living? He didn't care about the things at home and just held on to the blueprints from the factory. He is such a nerd. I don't know why I fell in love with him back then."

Zhu Xuefeng did not respond, but heard Chen Rui continue, "Old classmate, you are capable. You made a scene at the criticism meeting before the Spring Festival. That's what a man should do. It's open and aboveboard!"

"Go back, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. It's too chaotic outside these days, so don't run outside. I'm going back first." Zhu Xuefeng said and was about to leave, but was stopped by Chen Rui.

"My old classmate, you are so capable that even the security department listens to you. Can you help me think of a solution?"

Zhu Xuefeng frowned, "What's the matter?"

Zhu Xuefeng's attitude made Chen Rui a little dissatisfied. "Don't be so stingy. We are old classmates. I am still your aunt. Now I am being bullied by Xu Damao. Can you ask the security department to help me get the little yellow croaker back, and the more than 800 yuan? Xiaona said that the furniture is worth a lot. I have to ask them to compensate me."

Seeing Chen Rui's eyes glowing more and more the more she spoke, Zhu Xuefeng laughed in his heart. This girl has really changed and seems to have become a lot more aggressive.

"They came to my house with a broken heart. What excuse can I use to find him?"

"What excuses do you need? The great man said that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. You bring the security department to our door. Who dares to disobey? The barrel of the gun decides everything. Just decide whether you will help or not."

"Why should the Security Department listen to me? They were just bullying last time, okay? You don't know."

"Go look for your friends. They were able to make the Security Department listen to you last time, and they will surely be able to do it this time." Seeing that Zhu Xuefeng was not getting along, Chen Rui became a little anxious. She went up to grab Zhu Xuefeng's arm, but Zhu Xuefeng dodged her without leaving a trace. She stomped her feet in frustration, glanced at Zhu Xuefeng, and ran into the corridor.

Zhu Xuefeng smiled and shook his head and left. He could no longer see through Chen Rui. After marriage, Chen Rui was no longer the same as the impression she had as a high school classmate. It had only been less than seven years, and it was true that girls change a lot when they grow up.

Before Zhu Xuefeng had the chance to talk to Xu Damao, Xu Damao took action again. He brought a large group of people to the compound again and ransacked Sha Zhu's house.

Even though the other side had more people, Sha Zhu did not back down and took action. However, he suffered a great loss because the other side had too many people.

"My grandson, you are the most present today, so I admit defeat. You can copy as much as you want. One day, I will teach you a lesson, so just wait for me."

Sha Zhu had been pinned to the ground by several red hoops. He was not worried about what could be copied out, as Liu Haizhong had already led people to copy it once, and they didn't find anything. He just couldn't get over it.

But now he was being held down and could only watch Xu Damao and his gang making noises in his house, but he was powerless to do anything. The noise made by Xu Damao and his gang was so loud that it had already alarmed the entire compound.

There are many people watching the fun in the yard now, but facing the ferocious group of red-hooped gangs, they all choose to wait and see and denounce.

"Xu Damao, you are bullying your fellow workers. This is a mistake. Stop it immediately." The old cow in the backyard couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but speak. Xu Damao just looked at him and ignored him.

"Xu Damao, please give them a way out. Sha Zhu has already divorced the capitalist lady, and Lou Xiao'e moved out a few months ago. It's not appropriate for you to do this." This time it was Uncle Liu from the front yard who spoke.

Xu Damao then grinned, "Uncle, what do you know? This idiot Zhu, his ancestors were not good people. The police were fooled by him last time. Don't you think about it, who would marry a capitalist? Only fish seek fish and shrimp seek shrimp. Only rotten fish and shrimp can make a pair, right? Don't stop us. We are responding to the call."

"Comrades, keep searching!"

"You bad boy, you bully my grandson like this, I, I will fight you." Yi Zhonghai helped the deaf old lady out from the backyard, glanced at Liu Haizhong who was watching the fun with his arms folded, and the old lady spat.

"You worthless people are always bullying my grandson in various ways. You all deserve a miserable death."

Liu Haizhong dodged awkwardly and continued to stand aside without saying a word. This time it was organized by Xu Damao and he was only responsible for watching the fun.

Looking at the trembling deaf old lady, who looked sick and weak, with a pair of eyes with more white than black staring at him, as if she was breathing out but not breathing in, and it seemed that she might pass out at any time, Xu Damao didn't want to provoke her.

He was not afraid of this old lady, but he did not want to cause any big trouble. As far as he knew, this old lady also had followers, so it was better not to provoke her if possible. (End of this chapter)
