Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 133 Brilliant
Aunt Ma was a shrew to begin with. After her son became Yi Zhonghai's apprentice, she treated him as a future eighth-level worker and her eyes became full of arrogance.

She had never suffered such humiliation in the past few years. When she heard that her son was asked to apologize together, she immediately exploded.

He raised his head, put his hands on his hips, pointed at Zhou Weimin and cursed: "Uncle Meng, why are you siding with an outsider? He is just the deputy director of the canteen, but you really think you are the leader. He has no control over the workshop, so you give him face! And you even apologized, bah!"

"Ma Guiju, shut the fuck up! If you don't want to live a good life, don't drag the whole yard down with you!"

Meng Kaiquan directly gave Aunt Ma a big slap. This idiot really wanted to drag everyone in their yard into the water!

Did you know that with just one word from Zhou Weimin, from now on, when people in their courtyard go to the cafeteria to eat, they can only get the loosest and smallest steamed buns with half the skin missing, and the good dishes will always be broken into pieces when they see them being put into the lunch boxes.

If the cafeteria chef really wants to play a trick on someone, he has many ways to do it, but they just have to swallow their anger and can't say anything wrong.

He didn't want the people working in the steel mill in the yard to live like this every day because of Ma Guiju's family.

"You, why do you hit me? I'll fight you!"

Ma Guiju was hit and staggered, and pounced towards Meng Kaiquan with his teeth and claws bared.

But at this time everyone in the yard reacted, and several young men came up and held her down to prevent her from continuing to make a scene.

If it was just Nan Yi, it would be fine. It is better to have less trouble than more. If he is hated, he can just eat in another cafeteria.

But now the person Ma Guiju has offended is the deputy director of the canteen. No matter how low the official position is, it is still an official. They don’t want to be inexplicably bullied in the factory in the future because of Ma Guiju.

"Baohua, go call Zhu Shunming out. He is the one who caused this trouble. How can he not show up?"

Meng Kaiquan glared at Ma Guiju, then asked his son to go into the house and call the person out.

Things have come to this point, and only by letting Zhu Shunming come out, make a guarantee and accept some punishment can Zhou Weimin vent his anger.

The eldest brother of the Zhu family is really brainless. He doesn't even know that he is being used as a gun. Is it so easy to be the first bird to stick its head out? I'm afraid he will be treated as the chicken to be slaughtered today.

Zhou Weimin ignored the nervous expressions of the people in the yard and casually said to Liu Guangtian who followed him: "Guangtian, you go in and take a look too. If he doesn't get better, come out and call me."

"Brother, I'll go right away."

Liu Guangtian's eyes lit up and he rushed into Zhu Shunming's house.

"Master Nan, I'm sorry for what happened before. I didn't expect Aunt Ma to do such a thing. I thought it was just a small matter between you two, and it would be over after a temper tantrum. I am sorry for you. I apologize to you here. I handled this matter wrongly."

Meng Kaiquan was a man who could put aside his pride. After the two of them entered the house, he went to Nan Yi and sincerely apologized.

"Uncle Meng, we are the only ones living in the front yard. Everyone else is in the middle and back yards. It's normal that you don't know what happened. You don't need to apologize to me."

Nan Yi dodged Meng Kaiquan's bow by moving sideways, said a few polite words, and then said nothing else.

His words seemed to be an excuse for the people in the yard, but everyone knew that he was not accepting the apology. After all, everyone in the yard had heard the noise Ma Guiju made in the middle of the night, and no one would believe him if he said they didn't know.

Meng Kaiquan was also quite helpless at this time. He was indeed too biased before. He only thought that Nan Yi was an outsider and unconsciously stood on Ma Guiju's side.

It's all his own fault that things have turned out like this, and now he can only try to make amends.

Seeing that Nan Yi didn't want to say more, he said hesitantly: "Hey, I will pay more attention to the movements in the front yard in the future. Master Nan, I will definitely give you an explanation today."

No one else in the yard spoke at this time. They all had different thoughts in their minds, but they were all waiting for Zhu Shunming to come out and give an explanation.

While everyone was waiting, Zhu Shunming was supported by Meng Baohua and walked out of the house. His face was covered with bruises, and it was obvious that he had been beaten badly.

Even so, he still ignored everyone's gaze and said firmly, "Deputy Director Zhou, this is a matter in our courtyard. It's not good for you to interfere, right?"

Meng Kaiquan thought it was not good to hear this, and immediately scolded him: "Shunming, how can you talk to Deputy Director Zhou like that? The conflict between you and Master Nan Yi is a matter of the courtyard, but if it affects the work, it is a matter of the factory. Deputy Director Zhou came to inquire about the situation, that is his duty, there is no reason why he can't intervene."

Zhou Weimin waved his hands, looked at Zhu Shunming with a smile and said, "How can you be sure that this happened in your yard? You got beaten up because of all these injuries. Your mother said that it was Nan Yi who beat you up. Did you see that it was Nan Yi who beat you up?"

Zhu Shunming looked very unhappy. He looked at Zhou Weimin angrily and said, "I didn't see it, but I know it was Nan Yi who hit me. I have no conflicts with other people. Who else would hit me except him?"

After hearing what Meng Kai said just now, he knew that the people in the yard were no longer on his side. If he didn't answer, he was afraid that he would have a hard time in the yard in the future.

If not for this, he didn't want to say a word to Zhou Weimin, for fear that he might make the wrong choice and accidentally reveal why he was targeting Nan Yi.

"What's the logic? You said you have no conflicts with other people, but how do you know when someone disliked you? Since you said you knew it was Nan Yi who beat you, then let me ask you, when were you beaten?"

Zhou Weimin smiled even more brightly, not at all angry at Zhu Shunming's attitude.

He knew that Zhu Shunming was most likely beaten by Xu Damao. Given Xu Damao's temper, he was afraid that Zhu Shunming would be beaten a few more times.

After all, this was something he had specifically instructed, and he came here today.

Zhu Shunming stopped talking because his mother had already found out that when he was beaten, Nan Yi was in the yard and had never gone out.

After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "Deputy Director Zhou, Nan Yi hired someone to beat me up, so what happened to him being in the yard at that time?"

"If you say so, then I have nothing more to say."

Zhou Weimin smiled, looked around at everyone, and suddenly said, "Guangtian, go to the street office and let the people there handle this matter."

"Don't! Baohua!"

Meng Kaiquan's face suddenly changed, and he quickly shouted at his son, then pleaded with Zhou Weimin, "Deputy Director Zhou, don't bother the comrades from the Street Office with this matter. We have all heard that it was Zhu Shunming who was making up stories. We will give you an explanation."
