Siheyuan: Return to the Era of Prosperity

Chapter 45 Breaking the situation
Seeing that the others had finished chatting, Shen Zhiyu quietly returned from the backyard.

"Brother, where have you been? I didn't see you just now." Shen Zhihua asked.

"I went out to the toilet." Shen Zhiyu said.

"Brother, you fell into the toilet, so slow!" Shen Zhiyu laughed strangely.

"You are itching, why don't you go to sleep?"

After sending his younger brother to bed, Shen Zhiyu began to think about how to help Nan Yi break the impasse.

After much thought, it all ultimately falls on Li Yumin's shoulders, and there is really no way for ordinary people to break the impasse.

But Sha Zhu also cooks Tan family cuisine, which is known as official cuisine, and his family also sold buns.

The property rights of most residents of the Siheyuan houses are still owned by the state.

The property rights of Sha Zhu's house are in his own hands. Ordinary people cannot afford to buy the main house in the courtyard.

Sha Zhu's three generations of hired farmhands also had doubts, and Shen Zhiyu made note of this.

He needs to slowly find out the various weaknesses of the beasts. If they do something weird again in the future, he can play with them slowly. In this age of lack of entertainment, this can be considered a good show.

Shen Zhiyu is not planning to deal with Nan Yi’s matter himself, as he has Xu Damao as his tool!

The beastly retirement group's plan once again lowered their status in Shen Zhiyu's heart.

Nan Yi has nothing to do with them and has never offended them.

Just because someone else's cooking skills were good and might take away Sha Zhu's right to cook, they brought up Nan Yi's family background as an issue, never thinking about how much trouble this would bring to Nan Yi.

Although I have tried my best to think the worst of these people, I discovered in the end that beasts are still beasts after all, without the slightest bit of propriety, integrity, or kindness and fraternity of human beings.

They only care about themselves and never think about others. They are selfish and do all kinds of evil.

Thinking hard!
This made Shen Zhiyu, who had already lost hope in the beasts, even more unable to let it go.

Shen Zhiyu decided to be careful to guard against beastly gangs in the future.

What is more important is to take the initiative and make the beasts restless, so that they can only respond passively and have no time to think about harming people.

The next day, Shen Zhiyu cooked millet porridge, steamed buns, pickles, and the dumplings that were left over from yesterday morning as their breakfast.

After the meal, Shen Zhiyu said to his sister, "Zhifang, you, Zhihua, and Zhiwen go to the hospital to deliver food to Grandma Luo. I will stay here to hold the group visit."

Shen Zhiyu was worried about his younger brothers and sisters staying behind. Given their beastly natures, they might cause trouble again.

If I were not around, the three children would have been bullied by the beastly gang.

After his younger brothers and sisters went to the hospital, Shen Zhiyu did not act alone and be late on purpose. He cleaned up the dishes and went to the central courtyard.

As soon as I entered the Intermediate Courtyard, I saw Sha Zhu bringing Bang Geng and asking Xu Damao for a red envelope.

"Happy New Year, Uncle Damao and Aunt Xiao'e. Three or five yuan is not too little, ten or eight yuan is too much. If you don't give me red envelopes, you won't be able to hold the big fat baby. Uncle Damao and Aunt Xiao'e give me red envelopes. Three or five yuan is not too little, ten times or eight times is not too much. If you don't give me red envelopes, you won't be able to hold the big fat boy, you won't be able to hold him!" Banggeng sang the rhyme while knocking on the bowl with chopsticks. Shazhu stood aside, holding his waist and laughingly praising Banggeng for his good singing.

Qin Huairu was holding Xiaodang and smiling, totally unaware of Banggeng's educational problems.

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were so angry that they were speechless. They were truly angry. No one would be happy to encounter such a disgusting thing during the Spring Festival.

Shen Zhiyu frowned and had a new understanding of how bad Sha Zhu was. He was a bastard and a villain. If he were in the countryside, he would probably be beaten to death.

Sha Zhu is a complete scoundrel. Not to mention his neighbors, even his archenemy would never teach his children to say such things during the Spring Festival.

Xu Damao is the person that Shen Zhiyu sent out to attract the beasts' firepower. He cannot be bullied too badly. It is necessary to make friends with Xu Damao appropriately.

Furthermore, he also wanted to see whether Jia Dongxu would turn against Sha Zhu.

As for Xu Damao, after he turns over, he might find fault with me. With Xu Damao's skills, it would only take a few minutes to deal with him.

"Da Mao, if it were me, I would definitely give the money to the person who sang the song, just as if he were a beggar. It's quite worthwhile to use a few dollars to cripple a person." Shen Zhiyu said from the side.

"What do you mean?" Xu Damao asked. Lou Xiao'e also showed a puzzled expression and pricked up her ears to listen.

"You just lost a few dollars, just think of it as alms to a beggar. You, Xu Damao, and Lou Xiao'e are not people who can't afford these few dollars. But the people who asked you for money will be different if they can get the money this time. Kids! They will definitely remember the first time they earn money and will never forget it. As the old saying goes, if you want to have a bright future, you must study hard."

"Everyone knows that learning is very hard and requires a lot of hard work. It is impossible to succeed easily without hard work. What do you think the child will think if he has this experience of asking for money? Will he think that making money is so easy? Do you think the child will study hard after having this idea? He will naturally think that money is easy to make, so why bother studying hard. If this continues, the child will become unable to endure hardship! Will he become a useless person in the future, so it is not a loss for you to give a few dollars. Besides, there is no need to argue with a beggar."

"As for taking over the factory, how can a person who can't even bear the hardship of studying endure the hardships of a worker? Even if he enters the factory, he will be a low-level worker, and will be like that all his life. He can't show his face and can't even eat four dishes. Do you think you are losing out? I don't know whether the person who teaches the child like this has a grudge against you or the child! It's so immoral!" Shen Zhiyu deliberately exaggerated the harm and explained to Xu Damao and everyone else.

Almost everyone in the courtyard was present at this time, and most of them had heard Shen Zhiyu's analysis.

Although many people think that Shen Zhiyu is not sociable, no one denies that Shen Zhiyu is capable.

Many people are blindly obedient, especially those who are capable, and they will be superstitious about what they say.

As Shen Zhiyu was a technical secondary school student, everyone in the courtyard naturally thought that what he said made sense.

Xu Damao was still very shrewd in small matters. He took out a big black ten from his jacket pocket and handed it to Bang Geng.

"Come, Uncle Damao will give you money, but you have to tell Uncle Damao who taught you this." Xu Damao said with a smile.

Banggeng was a little brat who had never seen such a large amount of money. He took the big black ten and replied, "Shazhu taught me to say that."

"Why are you like this, kid? Don't wrongly accuse your stupid uncle." Sha Zhu shook his head like a rattle.

Everyone looked at Shazhu as if he were a fool.

Shen Zhiyu deliberately whispered: "I don't remember Shazhu and Banggeng having a grudge. Could it be that he has a big grudge with Jia Dongxu or Qin Huairu?"

Xu Damao is definitely a good supporting actor, so he asked, "Zhiyu, what do you say?"
