Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 843 The Fifth Brother is Mighty
The visit of condolences ended hastily in a chaos. The main reason was that when the neighbors of Yard 95 saw that the street office had given bonuses to two people, and then the steel rolling mill also issued bonuses, those people put away their hypocritical faces and started to educate He Yushui when they saw the two thick envelopes.

He Yushui was a little confused at the time, and stood there at a loss, but Director Wang was there, scolding the group of neighbors, especially the leader Yi Zhonghai, saying: "Yi Zhonghai, you are just an old man in Courtyard No. 95. Have you forgotten that you are just a liaison officer? Do you think you can discuss other people's family affairs? If you don't want to be a liaison officer, just say so, and I will relieve you of your liaison officer status."

Director Yang, who was standing next to Director Wang, also felt that these people were not clear-headed. Why did they say anything? However, Yi Zhonghai was the master chef of the steel rolling mill and Director Yang's right-hand man in the factory, so he quickly said, "Not really, not really, Director Wang, Master Yi might be close to Sha Zhu's family, and what he said was just out of concern. Although what he said was wrong, it was unintentional."

Director Wang frowned. She felt that there was something wrong with Director Yang. This was not something a director could say. She stared at Director Yang, who broke out in a cold sweat. He had selfish motives. Yi Zhonghai was the person the deaf old lady had specifically told him to take care of. He was said to be the old lady's dependent. In order to avoid being stuck with her, Yi Zhonghai could not have any problems.

Yi Zhonghai had to admit his mistake when he saw the current situation, otherwise Director Yang would be embarrassed. Yi Zhonghai said, "I'm sorry, Director Wang, I was too concerned. Isn't this the excellent tradition that the eldest brother is like a father? I said these words to repair their relationship. I made you misunderstand. It's my fault. I apologize."

Wang Zhan curled his lips but said nothing. He didn't believe what Yi Zhonghai said. However, everyone considered different issues. With Yi Zhonghai's words, Director Wang just passed it over and made a small matter.

The other people in Yard No. 95 also shut up and turned back to their own yards. Sha Zhu was still confused at this time. He felt that these people were speaking on his side, but he also felt a little sorry for his sister. He didn't figure out who was right and who was wrong.

Director Wang said directly to Sha Zhu, "Since the first year your father left, you have not fulfilled your responsibilities as a brother. Yu Shui has been taken care of by others. You know what kind of person you are. Today, He Yu Shui didn't want you to be embarrassed. You have to understand that your sister deserves you. Her things and money are hers. If she gives them to you, you can accept them without blushing. It's yours. But if you insist, we have many places to go to argue."

After listening to Director Wang's words, Sha Zhu roughly understood that these unreliable neighbors were just eyeing He Yushui's bonus, so they did this. Sha Zhu lowered his head in shame and said, "I understand, what belongs to Yushui is what belongs to Yushui. Don't worry, I can support myself. I feel sorry for my sister."

The farce came to an end, but it was just the prelude to the struggle at the steel mill and also an introduction. From that day on, Li Huaide no longer regarded Director Yang as an opponent. He quietly investigated Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu, and everything about them, including their relationship with Director Yang. This investigation was not important, as these issues became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Director Yang.

After the commotion, three people, no, five people lived a peaceful life. Erya and Xiaopang had moved in, and even Aunt Sun's family stopped cooking. Sometimes Aunt Sun lived in the east wing, next to He Yushui's house, with the two children.

Within two days, Xiao Si, Xiao Wu and Da Lao Tie became frequent visitors to Wang Zhan's home. The reason they didn't come during this period was that they were entertaining relatives and friends who came to celebrate for them, of course, their parents' friends.

Xiaosi has become famous. He is in the top ten, which is an amazing result. Xiaosi's parents are supporting him very much. No one in his family has finished primary school for three generations.

The same goes for Big Boss Tie. It was beyond Master Tie's expectation. There was constant drama at home these days. The main reason was that Master Tie had many apprentices. Every day, the apprentices came to celebrate the great achievements of the little apprentice. Big Boss Tie felt a little crazy. Master Tie didn't indulge him. After a beating, Big Boss Tie became obedient and followed his father's wishes to cooperate in various drinking parties. The most relaxed one among them was Little Five. Except for the grandparents' house, he had to go. At other times, his parents ignored him. This was also the reason why he felt depressed when he saw Little Four being praised constantly. He could only watch Little Four's scenery in the yard, while he kept doing housework here, because his mother said that this was work for the younger brother or sister, and he had to accept it willingly.

At Wang Zhan's house, under the grape vines in the backyard, several people were sitting or lying in the most comfortable way, chatting idly. This was the first time that several of them had gathered together. They talked about how the people from Yard No. 95 had come in large numbers to attack Wang Zhan a while ago, and also about how He Yushui was being remembered for the bonus he received a while ago.

Several people were very angry, so Xiao Wu asked, "Brother Zhan, this is not like you. Are you just going to put up with this?"

Wang Zhan smiled and said, "How is that possible? But now is not the right time. We need to wait for a while until these things are forgotten. That's when we can take action."

Xiao Wu said indignantly: "Well, it's your theory again. I'm tired of hearing it. As a man, shouldn't you take revenge and redress grievances?"

Wang Zhan didn't think Xiao Wu would do anything, so he answered Xiao Wu's questions perfunctorily, which made Xiao Wu very dissatisfied. At the end of today's party, Xiao Wu said very little.

Wang Zhan thought he was angry, so he told Xiao Si to go back and persuade Xiao Wu more. Xiao Si didn't care at all, because in Xiao Si's understanding, Xiao Wu would find him for all the things, no matter good or bad. But what was unexpected was that Xiao Si miscalculated this time.

Xiaowu didn't know why, maybe it was because he was the last one in the exam among all his buddies, or maybe Xiaowu wanted to prove himself that he was a capable person, so he planned a revenge plan and didn't tell anyone.

For a period of time afterwards, Xiaowu seemed to be very busy and seldom came to Wang Zhan's place. Everyone thought he was taking care of his mother and no one paid much attention.

The day before they were about to report, Director Wang suddenly brought a group of people to visit Wang Zhan's yard, saying that they were going to do a termite inspection. Wang Zhan didn't understand this, so he asked Director Wang. Director Wang said, "Wang Zhan, you don't know, Courtyard No. 95, the courtyard in Maoer Hutong, has a large number of termites that have eaten all the wooden pillars to pieces. Half of the house has become a dangerous building. It will cost a lot of money to repair it."

When Wang Zhan heard this, he took it very seriously, fearing that his house would be invaded by termites. He even went out to buy realgar powder for this purpose. It was not until Xiao Wu appeared in front of Wang Zhan triumphantly that Wang Zhan realized that the instigator of all this was actually Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu is so powerful.
