Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

He needs to be someone that everyone trusts and who is competent.

At least someone has to stand up and say something for him now.

But look, is anyone there?

"Hey, Director Wang, Director Wang, I have something to say."

Just as I was thinking this, someone actually came out.

It's Uncle Liu Haizhong, what's he doing here to join in the fun?

What's Liu Haizhong doing here? He's just trying to show off.

Think about it!

If Director Wang wants to dismiss the eldest uncle, then the second eldest uncle or the third eldest uncle, Yan Bugui, will have to take his place.

That's when the competition begins.

Liu Haizhong should try to make a good impression on Director Wang and, ideally, let him see his own ability to handle things.

So he stepped forward.

Little did he know, he had already seen through him.

Director Wang looked at Liu Haizhong, clearly disliking him: "Liu Haizhong, what do you have to say?"

This person was so meticulous in his studies that he was obsessed with becoming an official.

The reason he was made the second uncle was simply because of his age.

Otherwise, given his skill level...

He's not even qualified to be the second oldest man in this compound!

"Director Wang, Aunt Liu, I think this matter needs to be discussed in a large meeting."

Although the rule for the three old men was set by the neighborhood committee, the people were ultimately elected by the residents of the compound.

Therefore, Liu Haizhong felt that a large meeting should be held.

He would take charge, remove Yi Zhonghai, and then gain everyone's support.

So, naturally, he went from being the second uncle to the first uncle.

But after hearing what he said, Director Wang wanted to kick him on the spot.

What kind of big meeting is being held?

Is this something that your compound can solve or decide?

So, after being a doting uncle for so long, I haven't learned anything else.

But they've completely mastered Yi Zhonghai's approach of trying to solve problems behind closed doors.

"Alright, you can stay over there for now."

Leaving Liu Haizhong aside, Director Wang looked at Yi Zhonghai and asked, "I'm asking you, did Aunt Liu wrong you?"

Yi Zhonghai's mind raced, and he was about to explain, "Director Wang, I've said what I needed to say, but..."

"Alright, that's enough," Director Wang interrupted directly.

What's done is done, so why make excuses?

If an excuse is all you need, why do we need neighborhood committees and laws?

Who does something without a reason?

"I suggest that we remove Mr. Yi Zhonghai from his post and have a new election held. Does anyone have any objections?"

"Director Wang," Yi Zhonghai tried to argue.

Director Wang turned to look at him. "Comrade Yi Zhonghai, because you are the person involved, you do not have the right to vote for the time being. Please keep quiet."

Hearing such a formulaic answer, Yi Zhonghai understood.

No matter what he says, he's destined to lose his old man status.

Oh well, it's fine if it's lost.

From now on, let them make a fuss over their own!

Once Liu Haizhong makes a mess of things and realizes his own worth, someone will naturally come to invite him back.

Then I can go back to being this old man.

The idea was wonderful, and a strange sense of confidence brought Yi Zhonghai back to his calm.

Now, he seems to be doing quite well!

Seeing that no one was speaking, they were all just looking at each other.

Suddenly, someone raised their hand and said, "Director Wang, no one from Yang Jianguo's family is home. Should we vote on whether we should invite him to attend as well?"

Chapter 113 He ruined himself

"Yang Jianguo, isn't he here?" Director Wang craned his neck and looked around.

"No, they're inside!"

Xu Damao grinned mischievously: "Making such a commotion, knowing you're here but not coming out, how arrogant."

Xu Damao thoroughly enjoyed today's spectacle!

It seems that Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai are about to have a complete falling out, and it looks like Yi Zhonghai will lose his position as the eldest son.

After this is all over, Yang Jianguo should be given another beating and a lesson.

Xu Damao will be laughing so hard he'll wake up in his sleep tonight.

Aunt Liu laughed and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. Jianguo doesn't care about joining in the fun."

"Yeah, I heard he's been busy lately with something, a technical improvement report? He's working overtime every day, and he doesn't even get a break on Sundays."

"Xu Damao, do you think everyone is as idle as you?"

"Hahaha……"

Upon hearing Yang Jianguo give a 'report,' Director Wang's slight displeasure vanished.

Giving a report is not something just anyone can do.

Moreover, it was a report on technical improvements; 'It seems Yang Jianguo is about to make a name for himself again.'

For such an outstanding comrade.

We should encourage and take care of them!

He's so busy, how can we waste his precious time on such a small matter?

Director Wang felt that the vote of these people was sufficient.

Adding one more Yang Jianguo won't change anything!

Unexpectedly, her words caused the situation to freeze again.

"Director, I think I'll go and call Jianguo!" Aunt Liu explained with a smile, "Everyone wants to hear his opinion."

Oh~

"So that's how it is," Director Wang understood.

It seems that Yang Jianguo is highly respected and trusted in the compound!

In this case……

As Director Wang pondered this, Aunt Liu arrived at Jianguo's doorstep.

"Build the nation, build the nation." Music could be heard from inside the room; he must be listening to the phonograph!

Sure enough, as soon as he called out by the door, the thick curtain inside was lifted.

The music playing inside also drifted into the courtyard.

No wonder I didn't hear anything; they were listening to music inside!

When you pull down those thick curtains in winter, they really do have a soundproofing effect.

"Auntie, what's going on?" Yang Jianguo asked, looking at the situation in the yard.

Goodness, they've really brought everything.

"Jianguo, the courtyard is going to hold a vote to remove Uncle Yi. What does your family mean by this?"

Yang Jianguo glanced at Xu Damao and asked, "Has everyone expressed their opinion?"

Aunt Liu whispered, "No, they haven't said a word."

It seems that it depends on one's attitude, or perhaps it's using him as a scapegoat!

No one wanted to offend Director Wang, and no one wanted to offend Yi Zhonghai.

After all, Director Wang doesn't live here; Yi Zhonghai is the one who lives here.

If we really dismiss him, he'll definitely keep an eye on us from now on.

It's so awkward to run into each other all the time!

But are these things a problem for Yang Jianguo?

“I agree,” Yang Jianguo stated firmly.

Furthermore, he added: "I believe that Comrade Yi Zhonghai's thoughts need to be studied again and deeply reflected upon."

"Therefore, it's not appropriate for me to sit in the old man's seat again."

"You can come back when you've learned your lesson and reflected on it."

Yang Jianguo's sincere tone, fair attitude, and impartial performance deepened the impression he made on Director Wang.

"I think Comrade Jianguo said it very well. Yi Zhonghai should study and reflect on his actions," Director Wang affirmed.

As for Yi Zhonghai, he is now lying flat on his back.

He's like a fish on a chopping board, completely at everyone's mercy!

But he never thought about why he had ended up like this.

In Yang Jianguo's view, he was just being pretentious.

Humans are inherently restless.

Yes, it's not rare.

No, that's a treasure.

The less there is, the more we want to make a fuss about it.

As long as it doesn't actually come into your hands, that feeling of urgency won't go away.

Sha Zhu traded peanuts for the table, and that's when he finally realized what was going on.

Qin Huairu was abandoned by two unfaithful men, Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai, and then her son was a thief and her mother-in-law was sent to a labor camp.

The conference was met with a sudden and overwhelming sense of helplessness, and he fainted from anger, suffering a series of blows including not being able to pay even five yuan in compensation.

By sheer coincidence, my daughter brought it up.

That's when I changed my appearance and stirred up that inner drive.

What does Yi Zhonghai have to offer?

Nothing was lost, and nothing was gained.

Life went on as usual, without any changes.

Sha Zhu had promised him that he would take care of him in his old age and see him off when he died.

But it's not something that can be achieved right in front of us; it's not something that can be put into practice!

Just like the old Sha Zhu, you can't convince him just by talking.

If you're not at ease, nothing you say will help.

Therefore, how could Yi Zhonghai, who had been scheming for many years, just let it go so easily?
