The strong fisherman in the courtyard

Jia Dongxu was stunned, "Master, do you think it could be Li Ming?"

Yi Zhonghai thought about it carefully, "Not really. He didn't suffer any loss yesterday. Is it necessary to be so petty?"

"It's okay, you'll know when you get back."

The master and the disciple were pointed at from time to time on their way to the toilet, and they even wanted to cover their heads when going to the toilet.

One one one one one one one one

As the bell for the end of work rang at the steel mill, the workers began to gather together and walk towards the mill gate.

Li Ming and a group of other people from Sangu also walked out carrying their things.

"Let your sister-in-law make you some braised pork tonight and clean up the fish. It will be another juicy dinner."

Xu Qiang muttered to himself as he walked, and it was obvious that he couldn't wait any longer and hoped to reward his stomach as soon as possible.

These days, food shortage has become something that anyone with a discerning eye can see, so every household’s food is actually not as good as Li Ming’s family’s sometimes.

Now that they can have such a big improvement in their life with delicious food, everyone is very satisfied.

The courtyard of the steel rolling mill.

Li family.

Father Li, Mother Li and younger sister Li Rui were sitting at the dining table eating.

"Today I heard about what happened to Jia Dongxu last night at our steel rolling mill. Even the two nicknames that Mingzi gave Jia Dongxu yesterday have become known to everyone." Father Li took a sip of wine and said happily.

"Okay, our Mingzi is a vengeful person. He is my eldest son." Mother Li also looked happy.

"I came back today and saw that Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu's faces were as black as the bottom of a pot. I guess our courtyard will be lively again tonight."

"When these two come back, they will definitely call a meeting. I guess they want to find out who in our hospital said this."

Father Li looked indifferent, "Just open it, he won't be able to find it anyway."

Li's mother suddenly became interested and asked, "Tell me quickly, why can't you find it?"

"I don't know, but I asked around, and they said it was Xu Damao from the backyard who said it, and some said it was Liu Haizhong and some said it was Yi Zhonghai, haha!"

"I almost died of laughter." Father Li happily refilled his cigarette, "The things our son did are beyond the reach of most people."

"And I also asked our workshop director, and he said it was Li Ming who said it, and the workshop director next door said it was Lao Wang in the backyard who said it."

"Anyway, it was someone working in the steel mill in our hospital who said it. As for who it was? No one knows!"

"Okay, if there really is a whole-school meeting today, we'll go and watch the fun."

"I want to go too! I have finished my homework for today." Sister Li Rui joined in.

"Okay, let's go together later. If Mingzi hadn't invited them to dinner tonight, everyone in our family would have come to watch the fun."

Father Li watched the fun from the side and didn't mind the trouble.

Xu family.

The food has been served one after another, the aroma is so fragrant that Section Chief Xu is drooling.

"Hey, today you guys try the braised pork made by your sister-in-law. It's really fatty but not greasy." Xu Qiang said as he started to put some food into his bowl.

"Don't grab it, bastard!"

"That's right, you eat the food cooked by your sister-in-law every day, and now you are trying to snatch it from us brothers, how can you be so embarrassed!"

Section Chief Xu remained indifferent to the verbal criticism from everyone and just kept adding food to his mouth. As for his wife and daughter, they had already served each dish separately and were eating in the house.

Chapter 55: The General Meeting Ended Hastily

Comrade Li Ming's gathering was very joyful, and the atmosphere in the courtyard of the steel rolling mill was gradually becoming cheerful.

Yan Fugui in the front yard went door to door to inform each household to go to the middle yard for a full-court meeting. After several people from the Li family found out, they carried small stools and walked towards the middle yard. On the way, they could hear several families discussing in low voices.

"Hey, do you think this is the story about Jia Dongxu's nickname being spread at the steel mill today?"

"Well, that's for sure. He's a 'mama's boy' at home and a 'teacher's boy' outside. It's obvious that he wants Yi Zhonghai to vent his anger!" Neighbor A had a smile on his face, and his face was full of longing to eat melons.

Several people from the Li family grinned when they heard this. Jia Dongxu's reputation was in tatters. Not to mention that his master was Yi Zhonghai, even if Yi Zhonghai's father came it would be useless!

The three members of the Li family happily found a place to sit in front of the hanging flower gate, ready to wait for the whole hospital meeting tonight.

After a while, the three uncles finally arrived and sat down according to their respective positions. The second uncle made his daily speech in the middle of his bangs.

"Well, today we are holding this whole hospital meeting, mainly because of the idea proposed by the first uncle. Next, let the first uncle explain it to everyone."

No one reacted to this. Liu Haizhong's operation was equivalent to washing hands before eating and knocking the cigarette holder before smoking. Although it might not be very useful, if you miss this step, the whole hospital meeting tonight would definitely lack some soul.

Yi Zhonghai waited until Liu Haizhong finished talking nonsense before he stood up and coughed twice.

"It's like this. When I was at work today, I heard a lot of people in the steel mill talking about what happened in our yard yesterday. Everyone was calling Dongxu by his nickname. This is very bad. The factory doesn't have a normal working environment, which seriously affects the workers' work efficiency."

Wow, Yi Zhonghai is indeed the moral master. If he doesn't put himself on the moral high ground before he opens his mouth, he won't be able to open his mouth at all!

Everyone was numb after hearing this. If you want to help your own apprentice, just do it directly. Why are you setting up a memorial archway here? Aren't you annoying? The only person in this courtyard who believes Yi Zhonghai's nonsense is probably the big fool He Yuzhu from the middle courtyard!

Yi Zhonghai was not embarrassed to see that no one took up the conversation, and continued to speak, "This matter is basically someone from our courtyard. The purpose of holding this meeting today is to find this person, otherwise it will affect the stability and unity of our courtyard, and even affect the evaluation of our outstanding courtyard today!"

Only when Yi Zhonghai really talked about the interests did someone speak out in agreement. Yes, it was Yan Laokou.

"Yes, what our uncle said is right. We still need to make this matter clear. We can't let it affect the excellence evaluation of our hospital!"

"But I don't work at the steel mill. I'll have to wait and see what the two gentlemen say about what's going on in the steel mill today."

Liu Haizhong said in a dignified voice, "I really don't know. Anyway, I heard it from Xu Damao. Someone said that Xu Fugui took his son Xu Damao to the steel mill today."

"Liu Haizhong, your uncle! Stop talking nonsense here. I don't want you to kill our Xu family, but you are trying to put the blame on us!"

As soon as Liu Haizhong finished speaking, Xu Fugui's cursing voice rang out.

"I even heard someone at the steel mill today saying it was you who spread the word!"

Liu Haizhong immediately went downstairs to find Xu Fugui and they started a verbal fight. They didn't like each other in the first place, so now they naturally got angry when they met each other.

Yi Zhonghai was quite helpless, "I listened to what Zhuzi said."

As soon as the words fell, He Yuzhu glared at him, "Bullshit!"

"Ah, no, uncle, I wasn't talking about you." He Yuzhu quickly changed the subject.

"I'm not a little girl, how can I be so talkative?"

"But what I heard in the cafeteria also came from the Li family." He Yuzhu looked at the three members of the Li family who were sitting on mats watching the show.

Father Li stood up slowly after hearing this. "Don't tell me you heard it. I also heard someone in the workshop say that I was the one who spread it."

"Do you think it's possible?" Father Li looked at He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai as if they were fools. The implication was simple: you haven't found anything yet and you're holding a whole-school meeting. What are you doing?

The people below also began to discuss at once.

"I heard it was Yi Zhonghai!"

"You are wrong, it was Jia Dongxu who said that!"

"Are you stupid? How can Jia Dongxu, that "mama's boy", say that about himself?"

"Well, I heard that it was Yan Fugui who said that."

Yi Zhonghai saw that the discussion in the courtyard was getting less and less interesting, so he moved his stool back to the house with a gloomy face. It was also his own fault. He was in a hurry to hold a meeting when he hadn't found anything yet, in order to vent his anger for his number one candidate for the elderly.

In the end, he failed to vent his anger, and instead felt so irritated that he ignored the eager gazes from the Jia family and went straight back to the house.

When the others saw that the leaders had left, they no longer had the mood to talk nonsense in the yard and went back to their homes in groups. Jia Dongxu didn't get anything out of the meeting that night and even enhanced his reputation, so he could only take the Jia family home with a gloomy face.

He could imagine that the steel mill would be even more lively tomorrow!

Li family.

Father Li burst out laughing, "I thought Yi Zhonghai had found some leverage over our son, but after all this time, it's all in vain."

Mother Li also smiled and shook her head, "If everyone in our courtyard thinks like this, then I don't think our Mingzi will suffer any harm in the future."

As soon as Li's mother finished speaking, the door of the house was pushed open. "What? I don't suffer any loss?" Li Ming walked in with a smile.

"You're back!" Mother Li stood up and brought a glass of water to her eldest son, and then told him again what had just happened in the yard.

Li Ming was so amused when he heard this, "These brainless people are just making a fuss all day long."

In the middle courtyard, the Yi family.

"My dear, if we don't handle this matter well today, will it be more difficult to deal with it later?" asked an aunt worriedly.

Yi Zhonghai nodded with a grim expression. Firstly, he didn't find any evidence, and secondly, the person's skills in spreading rumors were quite high, so he couldn't find out who spread the rumor at all.

In fact, he did suspect the Li family, but did you have any evidence? If he dared to say directly that it was the Li family, then Yi Zhonghai would be in big trouble.

"I'll go to the Li family later and see if I can discuss it with Li Ming and have him come forward to let us know."

The aunt was speechless after hearing this. Although Li Ming is a sensible boy, it is pure dreaming to ask him to help the Jia family now!

Yi Zhonghai is so blinded that he thinks everyone is like him, with no one to take care of them in their old age!

Chapter 56 An Unforgettable Day for Yi Zhonghai

Front yard, Li's house.

A family of four was chatting and laughing when they suddenly heard Yi Zhonghai knocking on the door.

"Mr. Li, are you home?"

The four people in the room looked at each other, and sister Li Rui ran to open the door happily.

Yi Zhonghai walked into the room with a hypocritical smile on his face, "Let's chat!"

Father Li nodded, "What's wrong, Master?"

Yi Zhonghai walked to the table and sat in his sister Li Rui's seat. The little girl made faces behind him.

"I just came here to discuss something with you." After sitting down, Yi Zhonghai handed a cigarette to Li's father and Li Ming, and then continued, "You also know that my apprentice Jia Dongxu's nickname was spread in the steel mill today."

"I came here today to think about whether I can ask Li Ming to speak out tomorrow. We should try to suppress this matter as much as possible so that it won't affect the unity of our hospital."

"After all, Dongxu is a very honest child. If the news gets out, our hospital's reputation will be bad."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking with a smile, the smiles on the faces of the Li family members all disappeared.

This damn Yi Zhonghai is planning to ride on the Li family's neck and piss! Today, the Li family agreed, and tomorrow the other beasts in this courtyard will have to come to the Li family one by one to cause trouble!

Father Li's face turned dark, and just as he was about to speak, Li Ming spoke first.

Li Ming narrowed his eyes and looked at Yi Zhonghai, "Uncle, do you want me to clarify something?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and nodded, "Look, it has to be our top student."

Li Ming suddenly laughed too, and threw the cigarette that Yi Zhonghai handed over to him on the ground. Then he took out a Daqianmen from his pocket, looked at Yi Zhonghai's dark face and said, "I'm sorry, I can't get used to other cigarettes, so I have to smoke Daqianmen!"

He lit it for himself and took another deep breath. "I want to ask you why I should clarify this for Jia Dongxu?"

"Because you are the eldest uncle in our hospital? Or are you Jia Dongxu's master? Or do you think I, Li Ming, am easy to bully?"

Comrade Li Ming looked at Yi Zhonghai, whose face was ashen, calmly, waiting for his answer.

Just as Father Li was about to speak, he was stopped by Mother Li. She wanted to see how her family would deal with that bastard Yi Zhonghai. If she couldn't do it to his satisfaction, she would personally stand up for her son!

It’s okay for you, Yi Zhonghai, to sit on the wrong side of the chair, and it’s okay for you to bully others, but it’s impossible for you to dare to come to the Li family and have fun!

Yi Zhonghai suppressed his anger and said, "Look at how you talk, kid."

"Isn't this for the good of our courtyard? It would be bad if this delayed the selection of excellent courtyard houses at the end of this year, right?"

No one dared to throw Yi Zhonghai's cigarettes, Chao! But today he needed help, so he could only bear it.

Li Ming smiled and said, "Then let me ask you, why didn't you come out when Jia Dongxu's mother came to me yesterday to cause trouble?"

"If you had fulfilled your duties as a great master yesterday, we wouldn't have had this trouble today!"

"You asked me to clarify. Isn't that putting the blame on me for spreading Jia Dongxu's nickname?"

"I haven't gotten married yet, and you're just blaming me and tarnishing my reputation. Have you considered the consequences, Yi Zhonghai?"

Yi Zhonghai's face froze. He really didn't expect Li Ming to be so eloquent. The three members of the Li family around him also looked at Yi Zhonghai angrily. If you dare to delay the continuation of their Li family's son's family line, then this will be a big deal.

"This is not so exaggerated. Besides, if it really affects the evaluation of our courtyard's excellent courtyards this year, other people in our courtyard will inevitably talk about your family."

"I am your uncle, and I am also thinking about you!"
