The strong fisherman in the courtyard

After a while, he saw Director Wang with his mother, followed by a few aunts and uncles, walking towards the courtyard.

"Mingzi, how come you knew to wait for me, your Aunt Wang, at the door today?" Director Wang smiled as he looked at Li Ming standing at the door.

"I'm just sitting around doing nothing, hehe."

"You kid! Go, go to your courtyard and call people, call them to the front yard!" Director Wang rolled his eyes at Li Ming, then directly ordered Li Ming.

"Okay, okay, Aunt Wang, you are the boss, you have the final say!" Li Ming said jokingly, turned around and walked into the courtyard, ready to call people to a meeting!

Director Wang and Li's mother smiled at each other. This child is just likable, there's nothing you can do about it!

Li Ming ran back and forth in the three courtyards while shouting, and then returned to the front yard. There were already quite a few people in the front yard at this time, and the ones who came in sparsely at the end were from the back yard, and of course, there was also the lazy guy He Yuzhu from the middle yard!

Director Wang was not in a hurry. This kind of notification work could not be completed in a day or two. She first picked a few courtyards with many people and told them to spread the word! After that, she arranged for the street office officials under her to notify the nearest people.

If I really have to notify everyone according to the regulations, I'll be exhausted to death!

When the front yard was full, Director Wang took a quick look around and saw that all the familiar troublemakers or fools were in place, then he cleared his throat and spoke.

"Today our street office needs to announce something. Everyone, please be quiet and listen carefully!"

As Director Wang finished speaking, the noisy front yard finally quieted down. It was not easy to be the director of the street office. You need to have a good voice or bring a loud speaker. Otherwise, with so many people around, it would be difficult to control the situation without a good voice!

"Our subdistrict office has received a temporary notice that this year, the subdistricts in our Sijiucheng will no longer purchase winter vegetables in a unified manner. Each household will buy the winter vegetables they need on their own. This year, the subdistrict office will no longer be responsible for this matter. Did you hear that?"

As Director Wang finished speaking, the scene, which was originally filled with some rustling sounds, became completely silent.

Chapter 439 Yan Fugui Provokes Trouble

It is no exaggeration to say that this has cost many people their lives, especially those who have lazy people at home, or those who are stupid and don’t know how to prepare in advance!

If you change to a normal family, it would probably just be a little bit of effort, but at least they could survive the winter, right?

Storing cabbage in winter can be said to be an important task for old Beijingers in the 20th century.

At that time, the winters in Beijing were cold, and there were no greenhouses for growing vegetables. Winter vegetables were scarce, and potatoes, cabbage, and radishes were the main dishes for citizens to survive the winter.

Chinese cabbage is easy to store and cheap, making it an important vegetable on residents' tables in winter. At that time, every household would store a lot of Chinese cabbage. Because the number of buyers and the amount of buyers were huge, under the planned economic system at the time, the purchase and sale of cabbage was arranged uniformly by the commune, brigade, and street, and every household would go out to buy it when the purchase time came.

But their courtyard is famous for having few normal people, so...

"Director Wang, this won't work. In previous years, the street office was in charge, and the quantity was cheap and sufficient. Where can we buy it ourselves?" The first one to speak was Yan Fugui. As long as it involves small amounts of money, don't worry, this guy will definitely be the first to charge into battle.

Director Wang ignored him. She waited for the others to show up at the same time and then suppressed them all at once. Otherwise it would be troublesome to deal with them one by one!

When Jia Zhang saw someone speak up, she immediately followed suit, "That's right, Old Yan is right, you can't just ignore the lives of ordinary people like us!"

Jia Zhang's style is to be shameless, add fuel to the fire, and make a scene after the incident in one go.

Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly after seeing this, but he had no intention of stopping Jia Zhang. It would be better to let her make a fuss. If there could be some good result, she wouldn't have to come to their house to beg for money!

Several other neighbors also jumped out, and their meaning was that your street office has been in charge for so many years, you can't just ignore it during this difficult year, right?

Director Wang looked at the people who jumped out and shook his head, expressionless, "You have reservations. The subdistrict office is here to make announcements, not to discuss with you."

"Why are there only problems with you guys? Everyone else is fine? Shouldn't you reflect on yourselves?"

Li Ming affirmed Director Wang's answer. Although what he said was a bit hurtful and a bit Tai Chi, it was obvious that this was the characteristic and there was no way around it.

The families headed by Yan Fugui were suddenly speechless. At least they were speechless after hearing what Director Wang said, or they did not dare to confront Director Wang because Director Wang was in a bad mood and no one wanted to offend a street office director.

When Director Wang saw that the matter was settled, she turned around and left. Anyway, she didn't have a good impression of the few people who had just jumped out of the courtyard. It would be okay under normal circumstances, but if there was really a situation where she needed the help of the Street Office, it would be considered a magnanimous person if Director Wang did not cause trouble for them.

After all, if you don't cooperate when the sub-district office asks you to cooperate, then when you need the sub-district office, the sub-district office can suddenly get busy, right? It makes sense.

Seeing that the real owner had left, the neighbors in the courtyard, which was mixed with beasts, also dispersed in groups of three or four. Some went home to eat, some went home to rest.

Instead of thinking so much, you might as well think about how to prepare winter vegetables this winter!

Front yard, Yan's house.

After dinner, Yan Fugui sat alone at the door smoking, and occasionally glanced in the direction of the Li family.

He felt that this might be a chance to vent his anger for Yan Jiecheng. Although the Li family had nothing to do with Yan Jiecheng's death, there had been conflicts before. And now there was a good opportunity in front of him, and he, Yan Fugui, wanted to give it a try.

Middle courtyard, Jia's house.

Yan Fugui came to Jia's house and sat at the table.

"Old Yan? Why are you here?" Jia Zhang asked puzzledly.

Yan Fugui smiled and said, "It's about purchasing winter vegetables. Now the subdistrict office doesn't care about it. How can we live? I saw that your family was in trouble, so I wanted to talk to you."

Jia Zhangshi would not do anything without profit. She glanced at Yan Fugui and said, "Uncle Yan, you are not the manager anymore. How can you still care about so many things?"

"It's true that I'm not the manager, but we have a lot of people who need the street office to buy winter vegetables. We can unite and at least go to the Li family first. After all, Wu Fang is also a clerk in the street office."

"The Street Office can't just say it doesn't care, right? They have to show us a way out!"

Jia Zhang was tempted, but the scene of Li Ming pointing a gun at someone's head frightened her, "But Li Ming in the front yard is not someone you can easily mess with!"

"Does he dare to shoot? The guns were prepared by the steel mill for self-defense by the buyers when they go out to the countryside to make purchases. Can he really shoot at us neighbors?"

Jia Zhang remained silent, and Qin Huairu pretended to be deaf and continued to clean up.

After a long while, Jia Zhang finally spoke, "Uncle Yan, are you going to look for those neighbors?"

Yan Fugui nodded without hesitation, "I will definitely go, and I will call Zhuzi!"

"Okay then, call me when the time comes."

Yan Fugui walked out of the Jia family's gate confidently. His idea was simple: there was power in numbers! He was sure that Li Ming would not dare to do anything out of line.

However, Yan Fugui had lost his mind. Perhaps Yan Jiecheng's death had affected him, but now it did not affect his ambitions at all.

He wanted to take this opportunity to attack the Li family. He wouldn't dare to do that under normal circumstances, but who could blame him for having so many people now?

Yan Fugui walked around the yard for a long time before leading his men to the front gate of the Li family.

Yi Zhonghai was watching this absurd scene at home with a gloomy face. He couldn't imagine how stupid Yan Fugui must be to do such a thing!

He didn't want to get involved, but the idiot He Yuzhu was dragged into this, Zhuo!

"I'll go and look after the pillars." Yi Zhonghai's words were full of helplessness and sadness. This was the last candidate for elderly care in their family!

Aunt Yi nodded and looked worriedly at the group of people walking towards the Li family.

At this moment, the Li family was resting at home, and no one could have imagined that someone would come to cause trouble.

"Why is there so much noise outside?" Li Ming frowned, looking unhappy. He hated it most when someone disturbed him from enjoying his leisure time.

"Knock, knock, knock, Wu Fang, Wu Fang, come out!"

Yan Fugui's voice sounded outside the door, and the faces of the four members of the Li family all fell.

Li Ming laughed out loud, "It seems that our worries just now were true, but this time it seems that it was the coward Yan Fugui who started it!"

Chapter 440: Reason First, Then Take Action

The Li family was discussing this matter during dinner. Judging from the personalities of the neighbors in their courtyard, someone would definitely come out to cause trouble.

After all, Wu Fang is a clerk in the street office. They don’t dare to do anything to Director Wang, but what about Wu Fang?

A single person certainly wouldn't have the courage to do this, but what if there were a large number of people?

Li Ming stretched his muscles and took out his baseball bat from the space where no one could see him. "I'll take care of these people. Hey, they really don't know how many eyes the Horse King has!"

Li Weiguo nodded calmly, "Ruirui, go to Wu's house later. If something goes wrong, ask Old Wu to take you to see Director Wang and call the police. There are really people who only remember to eat and not to be beaten!"

Wu Fang also looked chilled. How could she not know why? Besides, the one who took the lead was Yan Fugui!

Li Ming opened the door open and grinned at the group of people in front of him.

"Yan Fugui, what are you planning to do?"

The crowd fell silent. Yan Fugui shuddered subconsciously when he saw the smile on Li Ming's face, but when he thought of the many people behind him, he regained his strength.

"Li Ming, get up, children should stay out of adult matters!"

"This time the subdistrict office won't buy winter vegetables for us, we want to get an explanation! If that doesn't work, we have to ask Director Wu to show us a way out!"

Li Ming finally understood why in ancient times people dared to attack government offices when they were large in number. Isn't this the same principle as it is now?

"Yan Fugui, why didn't you dare to say anything when you were guarding Director Wang? Do you think our Li family is easy to mess with now?" Li Ming said with a smile, and then looked at the people behind Yan Fugui, "Everyone, we are neighbors who see each other every day. What the street office announced today has nothing to do with our Li family. I will give you a chance. Now leave our Li family's door and I will pretend that I didn't see it."

Li Ming paused, "But if you really want to get a street office statement from our Li family, then we will give it a try!"

"I have to tell you in advance that I was in a bad mood today and accidentally killed someone. I hope you can understand!"

Li Ming's grim grin looked particularly creepy under the dim door light. Behind him, Li's father came out from the door, also holding an iron rod in his hand.

As for Li Rui, she relied on her thin body to squeeze into the Wu family opposite early.

"Uncle Wu, how about you take me to report to the police and find Director Wang?" Li Rui said worriedly, "I'm really afraid that my brother will beat someone to death!"

The little girl started to cry when she said this, but everyone in the Wu family twitched their lips together. Say, how can you be so confident in your brother?

With so many people here, you're not worried about your brother getting beaten up? You're worried about your brother killing someone?

Wu Xuanxuan looked worried. "Dad, let's split up. The police station is closer. Mom and I will go to call the police, and you take Ruirui to find the director of the street office."

Wu Qiangguo nodded, then led his men to climb out of a window on the side. There were many people around at the moment, and it was dark. Besides, most people's attention was still on Yan Fugui and others, so no one paid attention to them.

Mother Li looked at her son and husband and felt very safe, but she still stood up and said, "Neighbors, if you have any questions, you can go to the street office tomorrow. But if you block our door today and threaten the safety of our family, that is illegal!"

"Just like what my son said just now, we in the Li family will pretend that we didn't see the person who left now, but if he insists on staying and using this despicable excuse to cause trouble to our family, then I will no longer cherish our friendship as neighbors for so many years."

Suddenly, the crowd became agitated. The brothers Yan Xing and Yan Wang came in from outside holding kitchen knives. They stood coldly beside Li Ming and blocked Li's mother.

Li Ming was delighted. These two brothers were really capable! It was worth his previous trip to the countryside to save people.

There was a commotion in the crowd. If some came with military force, then there must be some who came with literary force, right?

After a series of punches, the group of people was reduced by one third. Xu Damao's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he shouted, "Mingzi, I'm going to call the police. When I come back, I'll arrest all these troublemakers and put them in jail!"

Xu Damao didn't dare to go in and confront these people like the Yan brothers did, but he had other ways.

After Xu Damao shouted, he rushed out. Li Ming could only say that under the pressure of He Yuzhu, Xu Damao's speed had been trained to a certain extent. With his current speed, ordinary people could not catch up with him at all!

There were fewer people in the group, and only half were left. Yan Fugui became anxious. If Xu Damao really called the police, he would be finished!

"Li Ming, we are all ordinary people. We just want an explanation and a clear way forward. Is it so difficult?" Yan Fugui shouted at the top of his voice.

After hearing this, the people who were following Yan Fugui also plucked up the courage to follow suit.

"That's right! We didn't mean anything else!"

"That's right, we are all neighbors!"

Li Ming was delighted. You are now telling me that we are neighbors? It's too late!

"Okay, now the remaining people are definitely determined. That's easy. Don't you want an explanation? No!"

"If you want to get an explanation, go to the street office. Now I ask you, are you going to leave or not? If not, I will help you!"

The group of beasts became agitated again and no one left.

"Li Ming, Uncle Yan just wants an explanation, why do you have to worry about it?" He Yuzhu said in a muffled voice.

Li Ming raised the baseball bat and pointed it at He Yuzhu. "Whose crotch was not lifted up to expose you? What does it have to do with you, an idiot? What? You, an idiot, are thinking about our family too?"

"You want to know the law to bring so many people to block our door? I want you to be paralyzed!"

Li Ming cursed angrily, "And you guys, did you come here because you thought I didn't dare to shoot? That's right, I don't dare to shoot, but I will kill you with my bare hands today!"

Anyway, the Li family is right and has a backer. Why should they be polite when others have bullied them so much? Just do it! If you don't beat these people up hard or kill them, they won't learn their lesson!

Li Ming swung the baseball bat and aimed it directly at He Yuzhu's head! He didn't even bother to see what would happen to He Yuzhu. If he could dodge, he would dodge. If he couldn't dodge, he would be hospitalized. What's the big deal?

Li Ming took a step forward and came in front of Yan Fugui with a grim smile on his face. He grabbed Yan Fugui's head and threw it aside!

Father Li and several of his men also followed Li Ming with weapons in hand. They did not take action, but they could prevent others from making a sneak attack!

Chapter 441 Beat them first, then reason with them!

To be more precise, Li Ming can randomly choose someone to be beaten, but no one can get close to Li Ming!

After throwing Yan Fugui, Li Ming didn't even bother to look at where Yan Fugui was thrown. He turned around and grabbed Yan Fugui's second son. "It is said that the son pays for the father's debt. You are here today, so let's go together!"

The free hand slapped Yan Jiefang directly in the face. Yan Jiefang was dizzy after being slapped, and before he could react, Li Ming kicked him in the stomach and made him roll to the side!

After beating this guy, Li Ming immediately looked at Jia Zhang. This fat pig was retreating step by step!
