Courtyard House: Is Xu Damao a childless man? Let me help.

However, this is also good, as it further confirms that Xu Damao has hidden money and will also make Xu Damao suffer more.

When the time comes, all the suffering Xu Damao endured will eventually turn into hatred for Second Master. Once Xu Damao recovers, we can watch Second Master and Xu Damao's 'love-hate relationship' unfold.

Actually, it was quite a coincidence. The box wasn't hidden by someone else; it was left by Xu Damao's parents so that their son could have it in case of emergency.

But he was worried that his son would squander the money, so he hid it at his house and would tell him when he needed it, so that his son could be in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, this well-intentioned act backfired. In the end, not only did the money benefit Deputy Factory Director Li, but it also made his son's crime more serious.

Xu Damao was arrested just like that. Unlike the last time they tried to 'search' Ye Jianchuan's house, this time they found evidence directly.

In addition, Xu Damao's popularity in the courtyard was basically at the bottom, so although there were many contestants watching outside, not a single one spoke up to help Xu Damao.

. . . . . .

When everyone saw Xu Damao again, it was three days later.

Over the past few days, Xu Damao has suffered a lot, and finally, under the coercion and enticement of Deputy Factory Director Li, he chose to ask his parents for help.

In the end, Xu's parents took out three gold bars and a thousand yuan to "redeem" Xu Damao from Deputy Factory Director Li.

Indeed, this "major matter" ultimately ended in a "private settlement," and the so-called "stolen money" naturally all went into Deputy Factory Director Li's pocket.

Those who participated in the operation this time also gained some benefits; each member of the security office received two 100-yuan bills as a reward.

Needless to say, Deputy Director Li not only received two hundred yuan from his brother, but he also took all the money and receipts that Xu Damao had saved.

As for Uncle Er, Deputy Factory Director Li didn't particularly like this guy who wasn't very talkative and didn't seem to be very quick-witted.

However, since this guy had helped him get a lot of benefits, Deputy Factory Director Li still followed his previous agreement and contacted the workshop director of the workshop where Uncle Er worked, so that Uncle Er could become a group leader in their workshop.

Uncle Er was overjoyed! A team leader! Managing twelve people! That sounded way more impressive than being a typical working-class person!

After his promotion, Uncle Er started walking differently, imitating his superiors by walking with his hands behind his back. Sha Zhu even teased Uncle Er about it.

Although Uncle Er was displeased, on the one hand, Sha Zhu was the deputy director of the canteen, and his official rank was higher than his own; on the other hand, Sha Zhu was Ye Jianchuan's "prospective brother-in-law." So, even for Ye Jianchuan's sake, he couldn't lower himself to Ye Jianchuan's level.

As for Ye Jianchuan, Uncle Er's attitude towards him couldn't be better. Ye Jianchuan was able to find a way to help him become the group leader, so wouldn't it be possible for him to find a way to promote him to a higher position in the future?

I heard that Ye Jianchuan was promoted from a team leader to deputy workshop director. So, can I also look forward to becoming a deputy workshop director?

With this in mind, Uncle Er now treats Ye Jianchuan even better than he would his own father.

Ye Jianchuan was quite happy to see this situation. Someone like Second Uncle, who wasn't very clear-headed but had a clear 'goal', could definitely be a sharp sword in his hands if used properly!

Furthermore... now that Uncle Er's matter of becoming an official has been resolved, shouldn't we start dealing with Uncle Yi's matter next?

If this causes conflict between Second Master and First Master, it will be a three-way battle. Although Jia Zhangshi is still difficult to deal with, it's better to have one less troublemaker!

However, Ye Jianchuan did not expect that Uncle Er would be even more proactive than himself in this matter, and soon took the initiative to come to his door again.

"Jianchuan, Jianchuan! Everything on my end has been resolved. Don't you think we should move on to the next step of our plan?"

Ye Jianchuan pretended to be clueless. "Congratulations, Second Master! But... what's this next step in your plan?"

I don't recall having any plans for the future. We're all ordinary working class, and even if we become leaders, we're still working class.

Forget about plans, just enjoy your own life!

Ye Jianchuan made it sound so easy, but Second Uncle was not happy about it. "Hey!! Jianchuan! We agreed before! Once I've settled things here, we'll work together to figure out a way to get Yi Zhonghai off First Uncle's position!"

Now that I've resolved my own issues, as for Yi Zhonghai's position... you see...

Chapter 178 Guiding the Way Again

Ye Jianchuan pretended to suddenly realize something and said, "Oh!! You mean this matter! This matter is really not easy to handle."

The allocation of these three old men is decided by the neighborhood committee. If Director Wang of the neighborhood committee finds out about our mess in this courtyard, she'll be very unhappy!

I think we should just let this go. Anyway, Uncle Yi hasn't bothered me lately!

Upon hearing Ye Jianchuan's suggestion, Uncle Er became displeased. "No way! I've already prepared everything! Why don't you give me your advice first?"

Ye Jianchuan was surprised that Uncle Er would actually come up with a solution on his own, so he was quite curious. "Oh? Really? Then tell me, what do you plan to do?"

"I've already been promoted to team leader, haven't I? When the time comes, I'll talk to Lao Yi and the others in his workshop and ask them to give Lao Yi more work."

"When Old Yi gets busy with work, he won't have time to manage things in our courtyard, right? That way, we can legitimately get Old Yi to give up his position as Uncle Yi!"

When Ye Jianchuan heard this 'idea', he was immediately speechless. This Second Uncle's brain really wasn't working very well. It would be a miracle if this method succeeded!

Although he didn't want to dampen Second Uncle's enthusiasm, Ye Jianchuan couldn't possibly let Second Uncle actually carry out this plan, could he? Not only would it take a long time, but the final result would definitely be failure!

So Ye Jianchuan could only say to Uncle Er, "Uncle Er... you're overthinking things. The very first step of your plan is unreliable!"

You're going to find the person in charge of Uncle Yi's workshop? Do you even know who the person in charge of the workshop is? There's only one: the workshop director!

Why should a workshop foreman listen to you? So I feel your first step is impossible to implement!

Uncle Er was displeased after hearing Ye Jianchuan's words. "I've also been promoted to group leader. We're all leaders now. Even though he has a higher rank, he should still give me some face!"

Ye Jianchuan rolled his eyes. "You think you're something special just because you're a group leader? You think everyone else has to give you face?"

"Uncle Er, let me give you an example. If you were a team leader, and one of your team members came to you and asked you to help them assemble ten more parts for their sake, would you do that favor?"

Without hesitation, Uncle Er replied, "Of course not. I'm a leader, and he's just an ordinary worker. Why should I help him assemble parts?"

Ye Jianchuan nodded, then said, "In the workshop director's eyes, the team leader is just an ordinary subordinate. Tell me, why should he give you face?"

This time, Uncle Er was speechless after being rebuked by Ye Jianchuan's words. Ye Jianchuan really didn't give him any face!

He wanted to turn against Ye Jianchuan, but Ye Jianchuan was quite clever. He had only given him a few pointers and then helped him become the group leader, so he decided to swallow his anger.

So, although Uncle Er was a little unhappy with Ye Jianchuan, he still held back and asked, "Then... what do you think we should do?"

Ye Jianchuan pretended to ponder for a moment, then said, "If you ask me, we don't actually need to put pressure on Master Yi through any official positions or anything like that."

All we need to do is hold a hospital-wide meeting, find some faults with Uncle Yi, and make everyone oppose him continuing to be Uncle Yi. Wouldn't that solve the problem?

Anyway, Uncle Yi has already revealed quite a bit of dirt on us recently, so I believe many people in our neighborhood no longer trust him.

At this point, Ye Jianchuan paused for a moment, because he suddenly thought of a good idea, a way to drag Jia Zhangshi into this dispute as well.

"Take the case of Uncle Yi helping the Jia family with 'fraudulent donations,' and later, when the Jia family's nephew ran away, how could Uncle Yi, as his nephew's mentor, not know anything about the inside story?"

In addition, the previous incident of sending Jia Zhangshi to prison, and the fact that he tricked Banggeng into being raised as his own grandson but did not allow Banggeng to see his real grandmother Jia Zhangshi, are all points that can strike at Uncle Yi!

If you can persuade Jia Zhangshi to make a scene, and then you, as the elder of the courtyard, step in to mediate the conflict, I will get Third Uncle and Shazhu to support you!

Do you think Yi Zhonghai can still hold onto this position as the eldest son?

After he finished speaking, Ye Jianchuan patted Uncle Er on the shoulder, and Uncle Er was already a little impatient at this point.

"Jianchuan! That's why I say you're so smart! This is a great idea! Not only will we achieve our goal, but we also won't be resented by Yi Zhonghai!"

"Excellent! That's a great idea! I'll go talk to Jia Zhangshi right now!"

As he spoke, Uncle Er hurriedly prepared to get started, but Ye Jianchuan called him back at that moment.

"Second Uncle, don't be anxious! We do need to find this Jia Zhangshi, but how to talk to her is an art in itself."

If you go directly to her door and talk to her like this, I estimate it will be quite difficult to get Jia Zhangshi to take the bait.

. . . 0

Ideally, these old women would just chat amongst themselves and mention it in their gossip.

"Look, isn't my Aunt Er free now? You can have her casually talk about her grandson to Jia Zhangshi, whether intentionally or unintentionally."

Once Jia Zhangshi takes the bait and confronts Erda Ma to argue or quarrel, wouldn't things become much simpler afterward?

Anyway, when those old women bicker and gossip, they dare to say anything. At that time, let Aunt Er deliberately mention that Bang Geng will be surnamed Yi in the future, and that Zhang Xiangyang ran away because Yi Zhonghai instigated him.

"Given Jia Zhangshi's temper, would you even need to go to her door? She'd probably be itching to come to you for help in no time, wouldn't she?"

After hearing Ye Jianchuan's plan, Uncle Er's gaze towards Ye Jianchuan changed. How could this kid be so clever! He actually came up with such a convoluted plan so quickly?

And importantly, the plan sounds quite detailed and thorough! Most importantly, the plan successfully helped him avoid some unnecessary trouble!

This counts as doing myself a favor! Not bad! This plan will work!

"Great!! Jianchuan! Your idea is excellent! I'll go back and tell your Auntie Er right now! I think it won't take more than two days to resolve this matter!" (Greeting)

Chapter 179 Xu Damao also secretly caused trouble.

Uncle Er went home to "lecture" Aunt Er, while Ye Jianchuan was very satisfied with his trick of dragging someone down with him.

If things had gone according to plan, and Uncle Er had offended both Uncle Yi and Xu Damao, then if I didn't continue to help Uncle Er come up with ideas, Uncle Er really wouldn't have been able to outmaneuver these two smart guys.

But what if I find another helper for Second Master now? With that shameless Jia Zhangshi on his side, what if the two guys on the other side are quick-witted?

Madam Jia's tantrum completely disregards any of your schemes, unless you grown men are really willing to stoop to her level.

However... even if you were to shamelessly confront Jia Zhangshi about the accounts, you might not necessarily be the one who ends up benefiting.

Just look at Uncle Yi and you'll know about "210". It should have been Jia Zhangshi's fault, but after all that fuss, Uncle Yi's reputation was damaged again, and now he still has to provide Jia Zhangshi with a meal.

Uncle Er went home to prepare for the follow-up plan, while Xu Damao was not idle either. After being messed with by Uncle Er and his men, how could Xu Damao possibly swallow this insult?

So Xu Damao started looking for ways to annoy Uncle Er. You think you're so good at causing trouble? Well then, I'll find you something to do!

Xu Damao doesn't have the ability to directly target Uncle Er, since he's no longer favored by Deputy Director Li's faction within the steel rolling mill. So, if he wants to get rid of Uncle Er, Xu Damao has to find another way.

Fortunately, besides his extreme obsession with power and his desire to become an official even at the cost of his life, this Second Uncle also had another characteristic: he liked to beat children!

People say that "spare the rod and spoil the child," but you should at least beat your son after he's been unfilial, disobedient, and caused trouble.

But what about Uncle Er? That guy could be said to beat his children on a rainy day. He had nothing better to do than stay at home. Whenever he was bored, he would get a beating if the Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian brothers were around!

Sometimes he's in a good mood, so he'll just give me a couple of symbolic pats and that's it. But if he's in a bad mood, he'll hit me really hard!

In other words, the two brothers, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, were beaten like this from a young age and were used to it, so they were tough and thick-skinned. Otherwise, if it were Yan Jiefang, who had a small, bean sprout-like build, he would probably have been dead long ago.

Since you like to beat your son, what if one day your son suddenly rebels? Wouldn't your family be in an uproar?

This is the brilliant idea Xu Damao came up with: if he can't cause you any trouble at work, then he'll make sure you can't have peace at home!

So, just as Uncle Er was giving Aunt Er some "instructions," Xu Damao also approached the two Liu brothers who were loitering around the courtyard gate.
