The strong fisherman in the courtyard

Li Ming spread his hands and said, "How should I know? I didn't go to the hospital with him last night! But when I came to work today, Jia Dongxu hadn't come back yet."

"I guess Jia Dongxu's leg is not in good condition. If it is easy to treat, given the stingy nature of the Jia family, they would have brought him back last night!"

"It's impossible to let Jia Dongxu stay in the hospital for one more night."

"If you are curious, why don't you go and find out whether Yi Zhonghai is here today? Last night, Yi Zhonghai went to the hospital carrying his "adopted son" Jia Dongxu."

When the Salted Fish quartet heard this, their eyes lit up!

"Damn, why didn't you say so earlier?" Zhou Ping said this and ran out.

"That's right, you've made our brothers wait in vain." Wu Gang also left.

Li Ming looked at the remaining two people and asked, "Are you two not going?"

Zheng Ping waved his hand, "Let those two idiots go. In the end, he will have to come back and tell us. Why should I make another trip?"

Wang Jun took a pack of shared cigarettes from his desk and walked around, "It would be great if we could wait. We might as well smoke a few cigarettes in the office."

This guy is such a jerk! He picked up all the gossip that was readily available. The corners of Li Ming's mouth twitched uncontrollably. "By the way, did you guys say Brother Xu went to the bathroom?"

"Yeah, more than an hour."

"I don't know what you're doing. Why don't you come out?"

"Don't tell me you fell in, haha."

Zheng Ping and Wang Jun asked and answered each other, but there was no sign of respect for their superiors.

"Okay, I'll sit for a while too. It's better for the three of us to be comfortable! The people in this class are like gods!" Li Ming found a comfortable position on the chair and sighed.

One one one one one one one one one

At eleven o'clock in the morning, Xu Qiang and two others came back from outside.

"Old Xu, did you fall into the toilet?" Wang Jun asked, raising his eyelids.

Xu Qiang slapped him, "You're the one who fell into the toilet. I was done a long time ago. I was just going to get some information."

"That's right. When we arrived at Yi Zhonghai's workshop, we saw Lao Xu smoking with their workshop director."

"When it comes to gossip, we have to look to our section chief."

"Don't just stand there, share it with the three of us!" Zheng Ping distributed cigarettes to the three heroes, Li Ming brought water to the three heroes, and they were ready to listen to the medical records of Jia Dongxu, a celebrity in the steel rolling mill.

"What you want to know is what happened after Jia Dongxu was sent to the hospital last night, right?"

"Of course! Mingzi explained everything to us before we were sent to the hospital."

"Hurry up, stop selling the lawsuit. If you continue to sell the lawsuit, I will pull the cigarette out of your mouth."

Xu Qiang was speechless. These "gods" in his group had too bad tempers.

Chapter 65 Giving Pork

"Okay, then I'll tell you." Xu Qiang sat down on the chair and began to tell the story.

"I went to inquire about this matter after I went to the toilet today. Yi Zhonghai did come today, but he came to ask for leave. It seems that Jia Dongxu has some problems, so he has to go to the hospital to accompany him."

"I guess Jia Dongxu was beaten badly this time, but I don't know the specific information." Xu Qiang spread his hands. Ever since he learned the skill of spreading his hands from Li Ming, he liked it more and more.

"Where are you two?" Li Ming turned his head and looked at the other two lazy guys.

"It's the same as what our section chief asked."

"That's all, nothing else."

Zheng Ping's face fell, "So the three of us have been waiting for a whole morning and this is all we get!"

"That's right, it's all in vain." Wang Jun muttered as he started to pack up his lunch box. It was almost time for dinner and he couldn't delay eating.

Li Ming also started to pack up his lunch box. The world is big, but rice is the biggest. "I'd better go back and ask around in the courtyard today."

When the other people in the stock room saw that there were no more melons to eat, they all packed up their lunch boxes and prepared to go to the restaurant before the bell rang at the steel mill so that they could eat more while no one was around.

One one one one one one one one one

The six people from the three groups sat down at a dining table and started to eat, while some gossip about Jia Dongxu kept coming from the surroundings.

"You know Jia Dongxu from our factory, right? His legs were broken by someone, and I heard he's in the hospital for surgery now!"

"Serves you right, the 'mama's boy' will just shrink under a woman's crotch!"

"He must have gotten into trouble, otherwise who could be so cruel?"

"Do you think we can find out who beat him up?"

"What the hell is there to investigate? I don't know why Jia Dongxu went to an empty alley and got put in a sack from behind! He was beaten up without saying a word. What can we investigate?"

"Old Xu, what you found out in the whole morning is not as much as what we brothers heard while sitting in the cafeteria having a meal." Zhou Tian complained while taking a bite of his steamed bun.

Xu Qiang glared at him, "You didn't find out anything either!"

"Hurry up and eat, then go back to the section to sleep! You can't enjoy your life by taking it easy, why do you have to ask about gossip?" Section Chief Xu looked righteous.

Several people pursed their lips and ignored Xu Qiang, eating their meals with their heads down. What he said was quite right. The main thing was that no one objected to him going back to the office to sleep.

. . . . . .

The courtyard of the steel rolling mill.

Comrades Li Ming and Li Weiguo have returned home from get off work and are now waiting for Li's mother to prepare a meal and feed them.

"Dad, what do you think of Jia Dongxu? Have you heard any news?" Li Ming asked curiously.

Father Li shook his head. "I would like to know, but no one has told me. I guess we won't know until tonight."

"I heard from others at the steel mill today that Jia Dongxu might be disabled, but we are not sure. I guess only the Jia family and the Yi family in our hospital know the truth."

"But I think the two families are not good enough to speak out."

"Okay, let's wait. I haven't seen Yi Zhonghai come back yet. I guess he's still in the hospital."

Li Ming glanced outside and saw people coming and going, but there was no sign of Yi Zhonghai.

After the family finished their meal, Li Ming found an excuse to go out. He had to prepare the pork today and ask Wang Da and Wang Er to take the food to the steel mill.

I guess Li Huaide is getting anxious waiting.

moat.

Next to Li Ming's feet was a big fat pig that had been slaughtered in the space in advance. He was smoking a cigarette and waiting for Wang Da and Wang Er to come with the cart. He raised his hand to check the time. It was past six o'clock, so he estimated that it would be almost time.

"Brother Li!"*2.

Wang Er was pulling the cart from behind. When Wang Da saw Li Ming, he trotted over to him.

"Here he comes."

"Is this what we are going to pull today?" Wang Da couldn't help swallowing his saliva as he looked at the two big fat pigs under his feet. Although Li Ming gave them fifty yuan yesterday and the two brothers also improved their food, he still couldn't hide his surprise when he saw the two big fat pigs.

Li Ming nodded and saw Wang Er pulling the cart over and throwing a pack of cigarettes to each of the brothers.

"Let's smoke a cigarette first. These two pigs weigh more than 600 kilograms. We will have to cover them and haul them to the steel mill later."

"Okay, Brother Li." Wang Er happily took the cigarette and took a look. It was Daqianmen! He happily took a cigarette and lit it.

"Now that we have finished this job today, I will give you other jobs, and you will both get paid."

Li Ming smiled and gave the two of them another sweet treat. After all, he was still counting on these two to sell grain for him on the black market in the future. Such good tools should not be treated unfairly now!

"Let's go!" Li Ming lifted a big fat pig and threw it onto the cart by himself, while Wang Da and Wang Er had to lift one pig each to get it up.

"Okay, I'll go first!" Wang Er smoked a cigarette and volunteered. The main reason was that he and his brother couldn't afford the good Daqianmen cigarettes on weekdays, and the ones they smoked the most were the economy cigarettes.

Knowing that Li Ming would have another job to pay him after this job, the two brothers were very motivated! Not to mention pulling two big fat pigs to the steel mill, they would do it even if they were asked to carry one pig each!

Looking at the two people who were full of energy, Li Ming couldn't help but complain in his heart, it's so easy to fool the workers these days!

Three people took turns pulling the cart. Comrade Li Ming was kind-hearted and did not let the two brothers pull the cart all the way. It would be bad if such a good tool was exhausted and suffered psychological trauma from this trip.

It was not until after seven o'clock in the evening that the three of them arrived at the entrance of the steel mill.

Li Huaide had been watching outside the door for a long time. At this moment, he finally saw Li Ming coming with something and hurried over.

"Thank you for your hard work! Haha." Li Huaide patted Li Ming's shoulder with great satisfaction, "If it doesn't work next time, I'll send a car over for you."

Li Ming waved his hand and said, "Uncle, we don't know when the next time will be. Let's pull this cart in first."

"I almost got myself killed by fatigue." Li Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead and started to put on a show.

As the saying goes, the crying child gets the milk. Although Li Huaide agreed to get benefits for Li Ming, wouldn’t it be better if he could get more?

"Okay, go back and have some rest. Come to my office tomorrow and I'll settle the bill with you."

"Okay." Li Ming didn't say much. He told the two Wang brothers to leave. Today's order would earn at least 500 yuan, which was worth it.

"Go back and wait for my news. I'll come to you when everything is confirmed." Li Ming instructed the Wang brothers before leaving.

"Okay, Brother Li, don't worry, we two brothers are not going anywhere. We will wait for you at home."

"Okay, go back quickly, I'm going back too."

Chapter 66: Mother Li's fighting power is first demonstrated

The courtyard of the steel rolling mill.

When Li Ming came back, there was no one in the front yard. He listened carefully and found that there was another meeting in the Central Courtyard. He quickly went back to the house, washed his face and walked towards the Central Courtyard.

"Dad, when is the meeting?" Li Ming asked while standing behind his father.

Comrade Li Weiguo turned around and saw his son. "It has just been opened for a while, and here comes the old man Yi Zhonghai."

"Tsk, this old guy is really shameless."

He glanced at his mother again, who was whispering something to his sister. Just then, Yi Zhonghai came back from outside.

Yi Zhonghai walked to the eight-immortals table, picked up the teacup on it and drank it all. He wiped his mouth and then spoke.

"I asked Second Uncle to help organize this hospital-wide meeting today. I just came back from the hospital and have something to tell you all."

"Everyone knows about Jia Dongxu from the Intermediate Court. I spent a day in the hospital today. Dongxu's leg needs surgery, but the Jia family doesn't have enough money, so I thought we should hold a donation meeting in the court."

"Dongxu grew up in our courtyard, and we are neighbors. Now that something has happened, I want to help as much as possible in our courtyard."

"The Jia family is not having a good time either. They have only one pillar of the family, and now he's in the hospital. It's not easy!"

With a hypocritical smile on his face, Yi Zhonghai began to climb to the moral high ground with great emotion, but he was interrupted by Li's mother before he could finish his words.

"Uncle, I agree with you that the courtyard is holding a donation conference, but the street office has regulations that any courtyard holding a donation conference must have the consent of the street office, and there must be street office staff to supervise it before it can proceed."

"If you hold a donation meeting right now, I will have to report it to the street office tomorrow."

Mother Li naturally remembered that Yi Zhonghai had threatened their Li family. Now it happened that Yi Zhonghai had fallen into the hands of the Li family. If Wu Fang could get Yi Zhonghai to make the donation today, it would show that she was too tolerant of grudges.

Which of the neighbors around is not in trouble? Now that food is hard to buy, naturally none of them are willing to donate money to the Jia family. Only a fool would spend their own money if they are not related to the family!

After hearing what Li's mother said, and considering that there was only one clerk from the street office in the courtyard, everyone naturally agreed.

"That's right, Sister Wu is right."

"That's right, uncle, you should go to the street office and file a report first!"

"Wait until the subdistrict office agrees, then you can talk about this in the courtyard!"

Yi Zhonghai panicked after hearing what Li's mother said. He didn't expect that he would be in the hands of the Li family by mistake this time. After listening to the words of the neighbors, this matter was even more difficult to handle. He quickly put on a hypocritical smile and said, "Sister, this is an urgent matter. Dongxu has to have surgery tomorrow."

"If we don't gather our money together today, it will be difficult for Dongxu to carry out the surgery! It just so happens that you are also from the street office, otherwise we can donate today and you can report it tomorrow for your hard work?"

Li's mother looked disdainful. "Get on the bus first and buy the ticket later?" It would be fine if your two families had never offended the Li family. But after you offended them, you remembered that someone in the Li family works in the street office? What were you doing before?

If a train hits a wall, do you know it has turned? If snot runs in your mouth, do you know it has been shaken?

"No, uncle. You can't break the law knowingly. Your behavior is wrong. You should report it to the neighborhood office tomorrow and wait until they agree."

Li's mother was too lazy to talk to him. This is the rule. You have to admit it today, whether you admit it or not! Even if Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family reported it to the street office, Wu Fang would never let it happen!

Normally, I don't use the power of the Street Office because I'm too lazy to use it, but it's not that I don't have it! Since you've fallen into the hands of the Li family, this time I'll give you the biggest torment within the smallest scope of my power!

"Yes, Sister Wu is right!"

"That's right. We have always been an excellent courtyard in previous years, but we can't do this!"

"We can't do this. If people find out, they will definitely gossip about us. What will we do if this year's excellent courtyard house is gone?" Li Ming shouted while hiding in the back. Didn't you, Yi Zhonghai, threaten me with this matter at that time? I'm going to use the same words to stop you today!
