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

Anything that could disrupt the relationship between Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng was a good thing for Uncle Yi!

Of course, this kind of thing can't be rushed. We have to let Jia Zhangshi do this for another two or three days, and let her slip up before we can strike a fatal blow!

Jia Zhangshi had no idea that her big mouth had completely betrayed her, and she was still boasting at the dinner table about how quick-witted she was.

We've found a way to deal with Jia Zhangshi, but what method should we use to deal with Second Master?

Uncle Yi came up with several ideas, but ultimately rejected them all. For example, he tried to use the same method to criticize Uncle Er and get everyone to remove him from his position as the head of the courtyard.

However, this plan is really difficult to implement. Although Uncle Er is indeed not very likable, he doesn't have the same qualities that make everyone hate him!

If we had to pinpoint a problem with him, we could only cite his frequent beatings of the children, but... even an upright official has difficulty judging family matters! Even if he beats the children, it's still just a family affair.

Even if you want to make a big fuss about this, the final outcome won't be too complicated. After all, whether it's government officials or neighborhood committee staff, their approach to these kinds of things is usually to minimize the problem and let it go.

Since this method won't work, how about we find something for Liu Haizhong to do at the steel rolling mill? Make him make some mistakes at work or something?

However, this plan was quickly rejected by Grandpa Yi himself.

This plan, though seemingly feasible, would directly impact Uncle Er's lifeline—his source of income.

Unfortunately, it was very difficult to implement, since the workshop where I worked was different from the workshop where Uncle Er worked. As a result, there were very few opportunities to get help from my own people.

Besides, his job was different from Uncle Er's; one was a fitter and the other a blacksmith, so he wouldn't have much of a chance to do something bad under the pretense of helping.

In addition, Uncle Er has now become a group leader. Although he can't be considered a proper 'leader,' it's still better than being an ordinary worker like myself!

Therefore, the plan to target Uncle Er within the steel rolling mill, while seemingly hitting his weak point, is actually unlikely to succeed.

So... besides these two options, what else could possibly discourage Uncle Er? This question had Uncle Yi racking his brains.

But at that moment, a figure walked from the front yard into the middle yard and continued towards the back yard. Seeing this figure carrying a projector and film reels, Grandpa Yi immediately had an idea.

That's right! As the saying goes, two heads are better than one. I can't think of any good way to deal with Second Master, but doesn't Xu Damao also have a grudge against Second Master?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Although I used to often side with Sha Zhu and bully Xu Damao, preventing Xu Damao from getting the justice he deserved.

But given the deep-seated hatred Xu Damao harbors for Second Uncle, he probably wouldn't hold such a grudge against himself.

Thinking of this, Grandpa Yi put down his bowl. "I'm finished eating. You guys continue eating. I'm going to the backyard for a bit..."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the backyard. The three people at the table were a little surprised, but they didn't say anything and continued eating.

Meanwhile, Uncle Yi went straight to the backyard and, while Xu Damao was still moving the projector, struck up a conversation with him.

"Hey, Da Mao, you're back from showing movies in the countryside?"

Xu Damao didn't give Uncle Yi a friendly look, nodding without saying anything, but Uncle Yi didn't mind and continued to speak.

"By the way, Damao, you should have some time now, right? I have something to talk to you about."

Xu Damao frowned and stopped what he was doing, then said in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, what advice does Uncle Yi have this time?"

So, you're not going to let this silly Zhu take care of you in your old age, so you're now setting your sights on me?

Let me tell you, I'm not like Sha Zhu. My parents are still alive and well, and I'll be taking care of them in their old age!

Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, Uncle Yi's expression changed, but he held back and waved his hand with a forced smile.

"Hey, stop calling me Uncle Yi. I'm not Uncle Yi anymore. Liu Haizhong held a college-wide meeting the day before yesterday and got everyone to dismiss me!"

Upon hearing what Uncle Yi said, Xu Damao's eyes lit up. Unlike Jia Zhangshi and Uncle Er, who were not very bright, Xu Damao was quite clever.

So when Xu Damao heard what Uncle Yi said, he immediately understood what Uncle Yi meant. Since everyone had been tricked by Uncle Er, it wouldn't be unreasonable for them to join forces to deal with him, right?

Xu Damao's attitude changed instantly, and he put on a smile, saying, "Really? I think you're doing a great job, how could they do this?"

As he spoke, he picked up the projector again, and Uncle Yi immediately understood and helped Xu Damao carry the projector inside.

Thus, the two naturally entered Xu Damao's house.

Xu Damao invited Uncle Yi to sit down, and then said, "Uncle Yi, I've only been away from the yard for two days, how come everything has changed?"

You told me about what happened in the yard these past few days, right?

Uncle Yi nodded, then said directly, "That day they held a hospital-wide meeting and kicked me off the stage. Liu Haizhong is now Uncle Yi."

Third Uncle is now Second Uncle; and Third Uncle has become Silly Zhu!

"Shazhu? What makes him qualified to be the head of the compound? Who chose him?"

"It's Ye Jianchuan! Originally, everyone recommended him to be the third uncle, but he didn't want to be it, so they gave it to Sha Zhu. They said Sha Zhu is now the deputy director of the cafeteria, and he's older than him, so he's more than qualified to be the manager."

Chapter 202 Uncle, do you think I, Xu Damao, am a good person?

Hearing what Uncle Yi said, Xu Damao frowned and then complained, "This Ye Jianchuan is really something, pushing this kind of thing away!"

"That means he's not at the steel rolling mill. If he were one of our employees, I'd deal with him!"

Although Uncle Yi also disliked Ye Jianchuan, his purpose in coming this time was not to have Xu Damao mess with Ye Jianchuan, but to have Xu Damao take the lead and mess with Uncle Er.

So after hearing Xu Damao's words, Uncle Yi actually helped Ye Jianchuan cover up, saying, "If you ask me, this matter is still Liu Haizhong's problem."

Oh, right? You didn't know that? The entire institute recently held a meeting and decided that those who have committed offenses within the institute need to receive warnings and punishments.

"We can't keep brushing this off with the excuse that we're all neighbors," and then he brought up Jia Zhangshi's matter, your matter, and Sha Zhu's matter as well.

"My business? What business do I have?" Xu Damao was a little confused by what Uncle Yi said.

Then Uncle Yi took the opportunity to continue, "Hey, isn't it all about the time you framed Ye Jianchuan, and then there was the time you were arrested by the steel mill's security office, and that misunderstanding about catching someone in the act of adultery, and so on?"

Anyway, while you were away, they took advantage of 227 to thoroughly dredge up old grievances against you, and the final result they reached wasn't very friendly to you.

If you cause trouble in the courtyard again in the future, others may still have a chance to be forgiven, but you will have lost all your chances because of these things. If you get arrested for anything in the future, they will not write you a letter of forgiveness.

In the end, Liu Haizhong made the final decision on this matter. Besides you losing all your opportunities, Jia Zhangshi and Sha Zhu also each lost one chance.

This statement actually contains half a lie mixed in with the truth, because Uncle Yi's purpose was to deliberately guide Xu Damao to take revenge on Uncle Er.

Therefore, he completely ignored the fact that Ye Jianchuan was the one who proposed this matter, and even the rules were set by Ye Jianchuan, and only said that it was Second Uncle who made the final decision.

This gave Xu Damao the feeling that this was something Second Uncle was deliberately targeting him.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Xu Damao immediately flew into a rage, gritting his teeth as he said, "Liu Haizhong... that old bastard is a real piece of work!"

　(Blank) 698925850 Before, I was just planning to make his family a little more peaceful, but now it seems that I was too soft-hearted!

"Fine!! Liu Haizhong! You just wait, if I, Xu Damao, don't take you down, I'm not Xu!!"

Seeing Xu Damao's appearance, Uncle Yi was secretly delighted, but his face was full of worry. "Damao, I advise you to be careful now!"

Liu Haizhong now has a good relationship with Sha Zhu and Lao Yan. The three of them are the three big shots in charge of the courtyard, and they basically have the final say on things in our courtyard.

If you want to vent your anger here, I think it won't be easy!

After saying that, Uncle Yi was still afraid that Xu Damao wouldn't believe that the relationship between the three of them would be good, after all, Liu Haizhong and Sha Zhu were 'irreconcilable enemies' before.

So after saying that, Uncle Yi immediately added, "By the way, you probably don't know this yet."

"It's because they have a good relationship that Liu Haizhong's second son got a job at the steel mill's canteen thanks to Sha Zhu!"

To everyone's surprise, Xu Damao was not angry when he heard what Uncle Yi said; instead, he laughed.

"Really? Liu Guangtian is really working in the cafeteria? That's great! I was worried he wouldn't find a job so quickly!"

Now, Uncle Yi was a little confused and looked at Xu Damao with a face full of question marks. Xu Damao didn't hide anything anymore and immediately began to explain.

"Hehe, Uncle Yi, do you think I, Xu Damao, am a good person?"

This question left Uncle Yi speechless. "Count?" That sounded too fake! "Don't count?" He'd come here to build a good relationship with him! He didn't want to offend him!

Fortunately, Xu Damao did not intend to let Uncle Yi answer the question. Instead, he asked and answered himself, "Don't be embarrassed. I, Xu Damao, know myself that I am not a good person!"

Since I'm not a good person, tell me, after being bullied by that old guy with bangs, wouldn't I try to get revenge on him?

Seeing that Uncle Yi still looked completely bewildered, Xu Damao continued, "While I was showing movies in the countryside, I secretly went to stir up trouble for the Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian brothers!"

I told them to think about how Zhang Xiangyang got rid of Jia Zhangshi, that clingy woman, and how their older brother got rid of their father!

As you know, the Liu family beats their children every few days, and these two brothers have long since reached their breaking point. Now that I've shown them a clear path, what they'll do is obvious, isn't it?

When Uncle Yi heard Xu Damao's words, his eyes lit up. Zhang Xiangyang, the eldest son of the Liu family, and the two of them had one thing in common: they had both voluntarily applied to be transferred to work in other places.

If Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu also follow suit, then even though Liu Haizhong had three sons, wouldn't he end up like himself, with no one to take care of him in his old age?

No way! At least I have a great joke to share now! But with this guy with bangs, I'll really be all alone!

Thinking of this, Uncle Yi became excited. This idea was brilliant. No punishment could satisfy Uncle Yi more than this result.

Xu Damao continued, "Just you wait and see. I'll add some more ingredients to those two brothers, and the Liu family will be in chaos within two months!"

Moreover... since this guy Liu Haizhong isn't a decent person, it wouldn't be right for me to be lenient with him. Wouldn't that just mean I've gotten close to Deputy Factory Director Li?

"When it comes to flattery, I, Xu Damao, have never lost to anyone! If he makes a fool of himself in front of Deputy Factory Director Li, I'd like to see if he can still hold onto his position as group leader!"

Seeing Xu Damao's increasingly fierce gaze, Uncle Yi was a little scared, but this kind of 'teammate' actually made Uncle Yi feel more at ease.

With someone as ruthless as him making a move, there's no way you could possibly turn things around with your bangs!

Thinking of this, Uncle Yi suddenly remembered something else, and then tentatively mentioned Jia Zhangshi's matter again, to see if Xu Damao could help him deal with Jia Zhangshi.

Chapter 203 Yu Haitang Suddenly Appears

Unfortunately, Xu Damao wasn't the kind of person who would work for free. He had no grudge against Jia Zhangshi and naturally had no interest in her affairs.

After listening for a couple of minutes, Xu Damao waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about that old woman anymore, I'm not interested."

But... isn't there any other news about Ye Jianchuan and Sha Zhu?

When Uncle Yi saw that Xu Damao was still trying to distract himself from dealing with the others, he became a little anxious. If you had that ability, that would be one thing, but Ye Jianchuan is not someone you can easily deal with!

If Ye Jianchuan gets involved and you end up getting taken down, then your plan to deal with Liu Haizhong might fall through!

So even if there's some other news about Sha Zhu and Ye Jianchuan these days, Uncle Yi has to cover it up for them. Besides, the two of them really haven't done anything special lately.

Seeing that Grandpa Yi shook his head, Xu Damao also seemed a little 'regretful'. "Alright, then let's figure out a way to deal with Liu Haizhong and this old guy first."

By the way, when Liu Haizhong gets taken down at the steel mill and comes back to the courtyard house, your Uncle Yi will have to put in a lot of effort to make sure he can't stay in his position as the head of the courtyard either!

Uncle Yi didn't dwell on this, since it was closely related to his own interests and wouldn't affect his revenge plan.
