Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 746: Continuing to recall the nine (grudges with the No. courtyard)
As soon as Brother Liu returned to the office, he called Uncle Li, reported what had happened in Wang Zhan's family, and asked Uncle Li for instructions on what to do next.

Uncle Li was silent for a while on the phone, then said, "You did the right thing. We should not intervene in this matter. Let the comrades of the Military Control Commission handle it themselves. The market is still unstable, so we have to be careful. As for Wang Zhan and his sister, I think of someone. Do you still remember the Monkey King?"

Brother Liu's eyes lit up and he said, "How could I not remember him? He was in the same unit as me. You're talking about the legendary chef squad leader Qi Dasheng."

Uncle Li went on to say, "He has been discharged from the army due to a leg injury. He should be idle at home now, waiting for the next assignment. You go find him and tell him about the situation. He is alone now anyway, so ask him if he is willing to move in and take care of the children."

Brother Liu immediately said seriously: "Okay, Chief, I'll go right away."

In the evening, in the front yard of No. 95 Courtyard, Jia Zhang was describing with great excitement to the neighbors in the courtyard how Yan Bugui and his wife had been arrested. At this time, the people from the steel rolling mill were returning from get off work one after another.

After listening to a few words, Yi Zhonghai scolded Jia Zhang and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Did you see it with your own eyes? If you say Yan Bugui is greedy, I can believe it. But if you say he stole other people's things, I don't believe it at all. Does Yan Bugui have the guts to do that? Don't spread rumors and ruin the reputation of the courtyard. When our courtyard is notorious, will your son still get married?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately shut her mouth. In this street, reputation is very important. If word spread that there was a thief in the yard, everyone in Nanluoguxiang would know about it tomorrow.

Yi Zhonghai also frowned, turned around and called Liu Haizhong, and went directly to the deaf old lady in the backyard. After a while, He Daqing and Xu Fugui were also called there.

Several people discussed one topic, which was how to protect the reputation of this courtyard house. After much discussion, they came to the conclusion that there was only one way, which was to make the matter of Yan Bugui a small one.

After much discussion, they came up with several ideas to attack at the same time. First, ask the school leaders to come forward to guarantee Yan Bugui. At least Yan Bugui was well-behaved in school. Second, ask the neighbors in the compound to jointly guarantee that Yan Bugui was not a sneaky person and behaved well. There must be a misunderstanding here. Third, see if they can ask the directors of the steel mill to come forward. After all, Hongxing Primary School was also affiliated with Hongxing Steel Mill.

After everyone finished the discussion, several people took their separate actions. The deaf old lady sat there listening to the discussion. She didn't say a word from the beginning. She just watched everyone leave and muttered, "You don't even look for the roots, but you insist on looking for branches and leaves."

Since hearing about this, Li Cuilan has been a little worried about the brother and sister. She wanted to go and see them, but she was afraid that Yi Zhonghai would have some opinions, so she just sat in the room, feeling a little irritated. At this time, the deaf old lady walked in directly, squinting at Li Cuilan. Li Cuilan stood up and asked, "Madam, why are you here? What's the matter?"

The deaf old lady looked at her with a smile and asked, "How are those two children? Do you like them very much?"

Li Cuilan immediately calmed down and said quickly, "How is that possible? We only met for a day and we didn't say a few words."

The deaf old lady looked at Li Cuilan and didn't ask any more questions. She just sat there. After more than ten minutes, she stood up and walked out, muttering to herself as she walked: "It's not easy for Old Yan. He has a family to support. Now his family is ruined. What a sin." Before she finished speaking, she disappeared.

After hearing what the old lady said, Li Cuilan felt a little sympathy for the Yan couple, but then she thought that the old lady wanted her to help Yan Bugui and his wife as well.

She sat for a while, then simply tidied up the room, closed the door and left the courtyard, heading straight for Wang Zhan's house. When she reached the gate, she hesitated for a moment, but still went forward and knocked on the door. Wang Zhan's voice came from inside, asking, "Who is it?"

"I am your mother Li." Li Cuilan replied.

Wang Zhan opened the door. Li Cuilan saw Wang Zhan and Wang Li open the door for her. Wang Zhan quickly let Li's mother go to the yard and closed the door. Wang Zhan held Wang Li's hand and walked in with Li Cuilan.

At this time in the front yard, there were two people from the Military Control Commission busy. They were checking things with lists. Li Cuilan looked into the house curiously and was shocked to find that the east wing was empty and most of the things in the west wing were missing.

Wang Zhan brought Li Cuilan to the reception room in the main hall, offered her a seat, and poured a glass of water, placing it in front of her. Li Cuilan said, "I just heard that your front yard was emptied out?" Wang Zhan himself was actually a little confused, and he didn't know when it was gone, so he said, "I don't know either. Usually my sister and I stay in the backyard. We rarely come to the front yard these days, except when we eat in the restaurant."

"Then how do you know it was Yan Bugui who moved it away?" Li Cuilan continued to ask.

"It was Brother Liu who delivered something to me. When he reached the door, he ran into the man moving a table, so they held him down. Later, Captain Li and Aunt Wang from the Military Control Commission came and realized that a lot of things were missing. I don't know the exact number. Captain Li was sending people to count them in the front yard." Wang Zhan replied.

Li Cuilan knew that this matter was very serious. Yan Bugui might even be shot. Li Cuilan immediately stood up and said to Wang Zhan: "Wang Zhan, I just came to see you. You have to take care of your family. I have something urgent to do now, so I will leave first and come to see you another day."

Although Wang Zhan was a little puzzled, he still nodded and said, "I'll see you off."

As he said this, he sent Li Cuilan to the gate. As soon as the gate was opened, Li Cuilan walked a little hurriedly. As soon as she stepped out of the gate, she bumped into a person standing at the gate. The person didn't even move, but Li Cuilan staggered. The person grabbed Li Cuilan's arm as she was about to fall and asked, "Comrade, are you okay?"

When Li Cuilan looked up, her heart skipped a beat. This man looked too scary. He was over 1.80 meters tall, with a deep scar running from the top of his head to the corner of his mouth. He was bald, and wore an old military uniform and a sheepskin coat. He had two guns on his waist. If you didn't know him, you would have thought he was a bandit coming down the mountain.

Even Wang Zhan wanted to close the door immediately after seeing this, and Wang Li hid directly behind her brother.

Li Cuilan quickly said, "It's okay!" and ran out of the door quickly.

Wang Zhan stood there, wanting to close the door but not daring to, so he asked weakly, "Who are you looking for?"

Scarface smiled, and this smile became even more frightening. He said, "I'm looking for you. Are you called Wang Zhan?"

Wang Zhan was a little unhappy when he heard this, and said, "My name is Wang Zhan, I am an adult, not a child."

“Hahahaha!” Scarface laughed wildly and said, “My name is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. You can call me Brother Qi. I will take care of you from now on, okay? Little friend.”

At this time, two members of the Military Control Commission poked their heads out to see who was so arrogant. When they saw Scarface, they rushed over and shouted as they ran, "Brother Dasheng, is that you? Oh my god, I finally see you."

The two soldiers from the Military Control Commission cheered and circled around the Monkey King.

The Monkey King quickly stopped the two people from shaking and said, "Stop, stop now. I'm going to live here from now on. We still have a lot of time to live together. Don't shout anymore."

The two soldiers hurriedly helped the Monkey King with his luggage. The Monkey King touched Wang Zhan's head, and Wang Zhan subconsciously dodged for a moment. The man said, "It was your uncle Li who found me and asked me to take care of you. Liu Xiaoya will be here soon."

When Wang Zhan heard that it was Uncle Li who introduced him, he felt relieved. But now he was getting more and more confused. He still hadn't figured out who this Monkey King was, so how did another Liu Xiaoya suddenly appear? Who was that?
