Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 13 You don’t even want to call me uncle!

The uncle is worried.

Or in other words, he has a mental illness.

And the person who is worried about this is none other than Ximen Lang, whose voice in the courtyard is increasing day by day and who is already showing signs of uniting with the younger generation and the three old men to form a rivalry.

Especially since Ximen Lang is a fearless brat who despises authority in his bones, looks down on rules and morals from the bottom of his heart, and doesn't care about anything.

Up to now, Ximen Lang has been living in the courtyard for a whole week, and he has never heard Ximen Lang call him "uncle" from the bottom of his heart, even once. He always calls him Master Yi, Master Liu, and Teacher Yan.

He doesn't even want to call me uncle!

As for the deaf old lady who was highly respected in the courtyard, she had never seen her bring food to the ancestor of the courtyard even once.

This inevitably made the old man have some opinions about Ximen Lang.

Of course, if it were just that, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

Considering that Ximen Lang is the director of the street office and a large number of officials personally sent him to the courtyard and arranged accommodation for him, as long as it is not too excessive, the old man can actually pretend that he didn't see anything.

But the problem is that Ximen Lang's eccentric behavior has deeply affected the younger generation of Siheyuan.

Yesterday, that kid Xu Damao followed suit and called himself Master Yi, just like Ximen Lang did.

This really made the old man unable to tolerate it.

You don’t know what I have paid for!

The old man was only in his 40s, but his hair had turned white from worrying about it. He had finally established a public order and good customs in the courtyard that put respect for the elderly first.

It only took you one week, just one week, to dig up the roots of the order that I had worked so hard to establish.

How could this not make the old man angry?
Of course, Ximen Lang definitely didn’t know all of the above.

I just know that Ximen Lang will never take me seriously.

The reason is simple. In Ximen Lang's eyes, the old man is just an ordinary neighbor.

If anyone dares to play moral blackmail on me, he would be a shameless old bastard neighbor who relies on his seniority to bully others.

And for the neighbors.
Ximen Lang didn’t know what others were thinking, but he really didn’t care at all, and he didn’t even feel anything.

why?
Because Ximen Lang grew up in an urban environment, he didn't know his neighbors at all.

It’s been almost 10 years since he bought the new house in his hometown, but he still knows his next-door neighbor’s last name and name.

At most, when we occasionally meet in the elevator, we nod, say hello, and say what a coincidence, then go out or go home.

And then, nothing happened.

As for the title of "Ya Ye" appointed by the street office
Ximen Lang even scoffed at this.

I'm giving you face, you're the boss.

If I don't give you this face, you are nothing!

You don't even have a paper document or written certification. Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty in front of me?
Who do you think you are?
Therefore, when Ximen Lang saw this highly respected old man in the courtyard again in the backyard, he acted very casually.

Like a thief, he stealthily called the old man aside and started asking him questions without any reason.

"Master Yi, Old Yi, have you seen Bai Ling? How is her mental state now? Is she emotionally stable?"

Then, before Yi Zhonghai could finally seize the opportunity, he showed his lordly demeanor and criticized and taught Ximen Lang a lesson from his moral high ground.

Then, Ximen Lang was arrested by Bai Ling, who had been waiting for him all afternoon.
Of course, it is not accurate to say that it was an arrest.

After all, Ximen Lang wasn't a criminal, and Bai Ling couldn't possibly attack him.

It's that kind of cold violence with no expression on the face and no words, you understand?

Really, it’s really creepy!
In addition, in order to protect Ximen Lang, Bai Ling never takes off the small iron lump around her waist.

He didn't even dare to exchange a few jokes with Bai Ling, and even ignored the old man who had been standing with his mouth open for a long time.

He followed Bai Ling's footsteps closely and went back to the house with her.

Not only Ximen Lang is like this, but the newly moved in Bai Ling is the same!
They all don't even take me, the boss, seriously!

The old man's breathing became more rapid and his complexion became noticeably redder. He stood there for a long time with a stern face, then turned around and went into the deaf old woman's house.

There were two faces inside and outside the house. As soon as I entered the house, the old man immediately put on his signature kind smile.

"Old lady, I'm here to see you."

The deaf old lady naturally saw everything that happened just now.

So, I didn't say anything.

He just pointed to the bench beside the bed and asked the old man to sit down first.

Then, the room fell into a long silence.

After a few minutes, the old man Yi Zhonghai had gradually gotten rid of many negative emotions, and his agitated mood finally calmed down.

The deaf old lady finally picked up the topic she had discussed with the aunt and asked the uncle.

"Xiao Yi, tell me the truth, are you tempted?"

At first, Yi Zhonghai wanted to play dumb and avoid answering this question.

But who is the deaf old lady?

This is a real old devil who has turned into a human being. It is impossible for Yi Zhonghai to hide his little thoughts from him.

Without giving him a chance to change the subject, the deaf old lady spoke directly.

"I'm over 70 years old now, and I've seen it all. I've dealt with all kinds of people."

"No matter who they are, whether they are cunning, slippery, good or bad, I can tell the difference between them at a glance."

"But there's just one person I'm not sure about. That person is Ximen Lang, who just moved here."

"You can say he's selfish, but he's more generous than anyone else. But if you say he's generous, he's also more stingy with his emotional investment than anyone else."

"So far, in the courtyard, only Zhang girl has truly fallen in love with him after being teased by him. Who else can you see who has truly entered his heart?"

"The family you care about is just like a stranger in his eyes. And you, a middle-aged man appointed by the neighborhood committee, are no better than a passerby in his eyes."

"He's a capable man, he's seen a lot, and he's got his own opinions. Xiao Yi, you can't control a man like that. And ordinary people like us can't afford to offend him either. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Yi Zhonghai's expression immediately turned ugly after hearing these heartfelt words.

The deaf old lady continued earnestly.

"Of course, I'm not telling you all this to scold you. I'm telling you that the water here is too deep. If you're not careful, we'll drown. You can't control it."

　Thanks to my book friend Galaxy Demon King for the reward, thank you very much!
