Siheyuan: Let Yourself Go He Yuzhu

Chapter 74 Yi Zhonghai sharpens his knife
"Second uncle, let's go find first uncle. You know, our boss listened to first uncle and went to stop Sha Zhu that night. As a result, Sha Zhu kicked him and broke his leg. Not only will his salary be deducted by the factory, but he can't go to work because of his leg injury. If he doesn't go to work, he won't get any money. Aren't we planning to go find first uncle for money?"

"After all, it is our boss who is working on behalf of the eldest uncle, so the losses should naturally be compensated by the eldest uncle." said Liu Gen's wife.

"That's right, it's Old Yi who should be held responsible. Come on, I'll go with you. It's time to get off work, and the Security Department may not let you into the factory if I have nothing to do." Liu Haizhong said.

"Thank you, Second Uncle. You are such a good man." Liu Gen's wife and others said hurriedly.

Amid the compliments from Liu Gen's wife and others, Liu Haizhong proudly took Liu Gen's wife and others to the steel rolling mill guesthouse.

"Old Yi, Liu Gen's daughters-in-law are looking for you." Liu Haizhong said calmly after seeing Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai obviously understood why Liugen's wife and others came to see him. This meant they were going to spend a lot of money. Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but feel distressed when he thought about having to spend a lot of his hard-earned money.

Yi Zhonghai hated He Yuzhu more and more. If it weren't for He Yuzhu, so many problems would not have happened.

Yi Zhonghai finally decided to pay 400 yuan to compensate the losses of these four families. He had no choice but to pay it. If he didn't pay the money, the little prestige that Yi Zhonghai had left in the courtyard would be gone.

In fact, the people in the Siheyuan don’t care about the rumors about Yi Zhonghai. They just treat them as a joke, mainly because it doesn’t hurt their interests too much. Once their interests suffer a major loss, they will definitely turn against him.

Why was Yi Zhonghai able to force everyone in the courtyard to donate to the Jia family in the past? Because the bulk of the donations were always paid by Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Sha Zhu, and they could accept others just following the crowd and donating a dime or two.

If they were asked to donate a dollar or two each time, they would definitely not be able to bear it.

"You guys go back. I'll ask an old lady to get the money for you early tomorrow morning," said Yi Zhonghai.

When Liu Gen's wife heard this, she turned around and left.

"Old Liu, what do you want to talk to me about?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

"Old Yi, we can't live like this anymore." Liu Haizhong told him about his troubles.

"Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu are relying on the support of the street and taking chicken feathers as their authority." Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice.

“What can I say? Now I have to worship them like my ancestors. I can’t hit them or scold them. Alas, this is simply going against the will of Heaven.” Liu Haizhong said angrily.

"Well, we can't go on like this. Respecting the old and loving the young is our tradition. This cannot change. If the next generation follows suit, what kind of chaos will the world become?"

"I have decided that after the factory clears my name, I will return to the hospital to hold a meeting for all the staff and resolutely crack down on this kind of behavior. Old Liu, you have to cooperate with me at that time." Yi Zhonghai said seriously.

"Old Yi, I will definitely cooperate with you. However, we can't hold the whole hospital meeting whenever we want. Sha Zhu said that if we want to hold a whole hospital meeting, we must ask him for permission half a day or a day in advance. We can only hold it after he has discussed it with Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng." Liu Haizhong said.

Yi Zhonghai was immediately furious. If these big guys couldn't hold a full-court meeting at will, then the power in their hands would be reduced by more than half. The full-court meeting has always been an important tool for Yi Zhonghai to control the Siheyuan. Now, He Yuzhu wanted to abolish the tool in his hand. How could he not be angry?

"It's okay. Let's talk to Old Yan first and ask him to gather the people in the front yard to hold a general meeting. After all, Old Yan is Yan Jiecheng's father, and Yan Jiecheng dare not oppose Old Yan;"

"Old Liu, you will be responsible for convening the people in the backyard to hold a general meeting. Xu Damao will be in the countryside for three to five days this time. I will have the result tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest. While Xu Damao is away, you can convene the people in the backyard to attend the general meeting. If necessary, you can bring the old lady out to contain Liu Guang and Liu Guangfu. The old lady can still do this;"

"I am in charge of the Central Court. We have gathered most of the people in the quadrangle. Even if Sha Zhu wants to stop us, he can't. Once the whole court meeting is held, it is not something that Sha Zhu can stop. As long as the whole court meeting is held, it is still unknown what the situation will be like in the future." Yi Zhonghai said with narrowed eyes. "Okay! I will listen to you then. As for Old Yan, I will go to him tonight?" Liu Haizhong said.

"No! To ensure that this whole meeting of the whole institute is foolproof, I will go to find him with you after I return to the courtyard." Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice.

"Okay! I'll listen to you." Liu Haizhong nodded and said.

"This matter must be kept confidential and cannot be leaked to anyone. Otherwise, if He Yuzhu and the others are prepared, it will be troublesome. Old Liu, you don't want to live under the surveillance of Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu every day, do you?" Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice.

Yi Zhonghai was afraid that the mouth behind his bangs would be exposed, so he spoke in a threatening tone.

"I understand." Liu Haizhong nodded and said.

Afterwards, Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai exchanged a few polite words and left.

Early the next morning, Yi Zhonghai asked the aunt to return to the courtyard and take out money for Liu Gen's wife and others. After receiving the money, Liu Gen's wife and others left happily.

The first aunt did not return to the guesthouse. Instead, she gave money to Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiekuang and the third aunt, asking them to help remove the glass and rearrange the house.

The first lady stayed in the courtyard. This was also a reminder from Liu Gen's wife to Yi Zhonghai that there was so much money hidden at home, and no one was guarding it. Yi Zhonghai was not at ease at all, so Yi Zhonghai asked the first lady to go home and guard it early in the morning.

The steel mill, the street office and the police station worked together but failed to find the culprit who printed the pamphlet. In the end, the three parties pinned the blame on an enemy spy.

While the steel rolling mill was clearing Yi Zhonghai’s name through radio broadcasts, it was also severely punishing anyone from spreading rumors about Yi Zhonghai. If anyone spread pamphlets or similar rumors again, the offender would be fined at the very least, or be charged as an accomplice of an enemy spy at the worst.

The factory's authority is still very strong. When the workers saw that the factory's punishment was so severe, they dared not discuss the matter openly in the factory. However, whether to discuss it in private was a matter of personal opinion.

Yi Zhonghai and others felt relieved when they saw that the steel mill had handled the matter quickly and efficiently.

Yi Zhonghai believed that the factory still respected veteran technical workers like him, so he decided to strike while the iron was hot and, taking advantage of this victory, convene a full-institute meeting that evening.

Yi Zhonghai did not inform everyone as he did before, but met with Yan Bugui secretly first.

The way to deal with Yan Bugui is very simple, just give him money!

For five dollars, Yan Bugui betrayed the rules and principles. Yan Bugui immediately patted his chest and said that he would definitely cooperate with Yi Zhonghai and fully support Yi Zhonghai in holding this full-institute meeting.

From a certain perspective, Yan Bugui's interests are consistent with Yi Zhonghai's. If Yan Bugui's position as the third uncle is just a title without any other rights, naturally no one will take him seriously. Then Yan Bugui can forget about being a door god and making some good things out of it.

After Yi Zhonghai had done all this, he went to discuss the matter with the deaf old lady. Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was ready and not here to discuss anything, the deaf old lady stopped trying to persuade him and only advised Yi Zhonghai to be careful.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was full of pride, as if he had returned to the time when he was in control of the Siheyuan.

After Yi Zhonghai prepared everything, he sharpened his knife and waited for the arrival of the static night...
