Siheyuan: At the beginning, you can absorb good luck to stay alive.

Mother Mei first put away the cloth and cotton she bought today, and then started cooking. After putting the rice on the fire to cook, she took Mei Wenhua and Mei Lan out together.

Mei Wenhua and her sister carried the small bench out together.

When they came to the courtyard, they saw three uncles sitting at a square table, waiting for everyone silently.

Many neighbors came out with their own benches and sat on both sides.

Many neighbors saw Mei's mother coming with Mei Wenhua and Mei Lan and greeted them one after another.

"Mother Mei, sit over here!" The second aunt waved enthusiastically.

Mother Mei looked at the second aunt and smiled. Instead of going over, she found a corner and sat in the corner with Mei Wenhua and her sister.

"Second aunt, we will sit here. It seems to be more empty here. I also need to keep an eye on the two children to prevent them from running around."

People in the courtyard are still coming one after another.

"Look at each other. Has your next-door neighbor come over? You've been procrastinating after meetings and have no sense of time!" The second uncle stood up and glanced around.

"Second uncle, before anyone comes, tell us your experience of being imprisoned." Silly Zhu roared.

"Haha... Yes, second uncle, before the meeting starts, how about you tell us about life in prison?"

"Sinzhu! If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute! And you guys, if you follow Sinzhu to cause trouble, let's see how I deal with you later!" The second uncle glared at Sinzhu.

"And I wasn't imprisoned. I went to assist the police comrades in the investigation because of that little brat Zhou Qing! If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiao Wenhua, he knows."

After hearing what the second uncle said, many people looked around the corner.

"I don't know, I'm a child, I don't know anything!" Mei Wenhua shook her little head vigorously.

Second uncle: "..."

"Hahaha...yeah, little Wenhua is still a child, what does he know!" Silly Zhu couldn't help laughing.

"Hmph! If you don't believe me when I say you're stupid, I'm too lazy to tell you!" The second uncle snorted coldly and sat down depressedly.

I originally wanted to refresh my presence and improve my majesty, but I didn't expect that it would be ruined by the foul mouth of Silly Zhu. I was so angry!

"Everyone, be quiet. We've almost arrived. Let's start the meeting!" The first man stood up.

"We have called everyone here for a meeting today. There are three things in total. The first thing is about Zhou Qing. The second uncle will tell you about this matter. I will add it last."

After the first uncle finished speaking, he sat down and let the second uncle do his best.

The second uncle stood up and cleared his throat.

"Ahem! Everyone must know about Zhou Qing. He is from our yard and a worker in our steel rolling mill. For money, he secretly rented his house to the enemy agents and provided them with a place for activities. In the end, I didn’t make any money, and I got myself involved.”

"Who is Zhou Qing?" an aunt asked in confusion.

"Zhou Qing is Zhou Xiaohei! He was taken away in the square."

"Quiet, just listen to me. Don't talk to others. I hope everyone will understand the situation and avoid similar things happening in the future. If we find out, we will not let it go! We will never cover it up!" [-] The uncle raised his voice.

"There is also Zhou Qing's house. He won't be able to come back in a short time. It's a pity that it's empty. The three of us will discuss a suitable way to make full use of his empty house. Of course, if you have Any good suggestions are welcome!”

After hearing what the second uncle said, the neighbors started talking a lot.

"According to the second uncle, Zhou Xiaohei has been sentenced? He usually seems very honest, but I didn't expect that he would dare to provide a place for enemy agents to conduct activities!"

"He is the only one in his house. When he is imprisoned, the house becomes vacant. Our house is next door to his house. We want a room in our house!" Zhou Xiaohei's next-door neighbor stood up.

"We also need one at home, and a kitchen is also available. Our three children are already grown up, and they sleep in separate beds!"

"Our family also needs a house!"

……

"Bang bang bang!"

The old man couldn't listen any more and knocked on the table hard, "What are you talking about? This is not the way to deal with it. You can use it if you want. Pay the rent!"

"Master, we are all neighbors. Zhou Xiaohei doesn't need it now. I am his neighbor. What's the matter with borrowing it? It's not like I won't return it to him when he comes back."

"That's right. We can use his house and maintain it for him. If no one lives in it, no one will take care of the rats in his house! It won't take long for the rats to damage it!"

Good guy! The results of Zhou Qing's trial haven't come out yet, and the house will be divided among the neighbors!

Mei Wenhua once again improved her understanding of the neighbors in the courtyard.

"You just want to live in vain. That's impossible. Whoever needs Zhou Xiaohei's house must pay rent. I will keep the rent and give it to him after Zhou Xiaohei comes out. "The third uncle also stood up and expressed his opinion.

"Third uncle, when you collect the rent, don't you put it into your own pocket? Zhou Xiaohei doesn't know how much the rent of his house is?"

"I think it's just that the three uncles wanted to share the rent, so they said they wanted to collect rent! Otherwise, why would they be so upset?"

"We can also collect rent. We can give it to Zhou Xiaohei ourselves, and when he comes out, we can give it to him ourselves, so we don't have to trouble Third Uncle to keep it!"

……

The scene was noisy, and Mei Wenhua could tell that almost everyone wanted to gain benefits and stared at Zhou Xiaohei's house.

If this continues, we won't be able to negotiate until dawn!

The elder also saw it, and if the discussion continued like this, there would be no results by daybreak.

"Everyone be quiet, everyone be quiet! That's it for now. Let's go back and think about it. We'll have another meeting to discuss it another day. Now let's talk about the second thing. Let's finish it as soon as possible and let's go back to eat early."

"Hmph! I don't care, I have to get a room. If you don't give it to me, no one will be able to live in it!" Zhou Xiaohei's neighbor snorted coldly and returned to his seat.

"Quiet! Sit down and stop talking. We will discuss this matter later!" The first man glared at Zhou Xiaohei's neighbor. Why are you so disobedient?

"The second thing is about Xu Damao. Xu Damao has been hospitalized for so many days. Our courtyard needs to select a few people to visit him on behalf of our courtyard. Who among you is willing to go?"

"No! Whoever wants to go can go! I'm worried about beating him up if I see him!" Silly Zhu was the first to shake his head.

Others lowered their heads one after another, not looking at the three uncles.

The courtyard suddenly became quiet, completely opposite to the discussion just now.

"No one is willing to sign up, so I will just order people!" The first man looked at the crowd and started looking for people.

Mei Wenhua watched the elder brother look into the corner, so he pulled his sister to whisper, pretending not to know.
