Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

"The reputation of the compound is not that good right now. It's just that a few people made mistakes. The rest of the neighbors are still good. It won't hinder you from getting married and having children."

Wang Lizhu sat on the ground with his head down, his hands on his shoulders, and spoke with sobs.

"Uncle Zhang, please don't lie to me. The news about No. 95 Courtyard has been all over the news recently. I've heard from them that matchmakers are avoiding No. 95 Courtyard now."

Wang Lizhu raised his head suddenly, stared at Uncle Zhang, and said with some reluctance.

"Uncle Zhang, do you think we can move back? It's better to be farther away from work! I think I'm still quite fit to walk, so I can consider it as exercise."

Uncle Zhang looked at Wang Lizhu with an embarrassed expression, shook his head helplessly, and spoke earnestly.

"Limin, Lizhu, it's not that Uncle Zhang won't help you, it's just that you have already signed the agreement. It's too late to change it now. There is no other way."

"How about this! You guys stay here first, and I'll keep an eye out for you at the neighborhood office. If anyone wants to move, I'll notify you as soon as possible."

Wang Limin was a little older after all, and knew that talking further would not solve any problems. He quickly stopped his brother's nonsense and spoke loudly.

"Okay, let's do this for now! We've brought all our things, so let's just stay here first! But I'll really trouble you more in the future."

Hearing Wang Liming's words, Uncle Zhang laughed heartily and spoke happily.

"Don't worry, you two brothers, if you have any problems in the future, come to the neighborhood office to find me, I will definitely help you and won't let you suffer any injustice."

"Well, I'll go to No. 95 Courtyard and help you promote it. When you get there, you'll be more enthusiastic. We'll all be neighbors in the same courtyard in the future."

"Except for a few exceptions, the rest of the neighbors in the yard are pretty nice."

This is also the reason why Wang Liming was so enthusiastic, while his younger brother Wang Lizhu was feeling uncomfortable and didn't want to say much, so he seemed a little dull.

The two of them sat down to rest, and Wang Limin spoke first. He wiped the sweat off his head, lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and spoke in a low voice.

"Lizhu, I think the women in the courtyard are very enthusiastic and speak well, unlike the rumors outside. Isn't it a bit exaggerated?"

Wang Lizhu had recovered somewhat by now, and his expression looked better. When he heard his brother's words, he nodded in agreement.

"I think so too. Look at these aunties and aunties. They are very polite and helped us carry the luggage. The third auntie in the front yard said she would come and help us change some honeycomb coal later."

"They are really nice people. I think the rumors are exaggerated. As they spread, they will add fuel to the fire."

Wang Liming listened to his brother's words, nodded, and spoke in a low voice.

"Don't be anxious yet, let's wait and see! We just arrived and don't know the specific situation yet. Let's observe for a few days. After we understand the situation of the neighbors in the compound, we can find someone to establish authority."

"This way we can gain a foothold in the yard."

The two were chatting when they suddenly heard someone outside calling their names.

When I came out, I saw that it was the third aunt who had just helped with the move. She introduced herself as the wife of the uncle who was in charge of the courtyard.

When the three aunts saw the two people coming out, they spoke loudly with smiles on their faces.

"Limin, Lizhu, you two brothers are out. Hey, you just moved into this courtyard, and the stove isn't lit yet. Come to my house and exchange for some honeycomb coal!"

"Otherwise, it would be too painful in this damn cold weather."

When the two heard this, they thought it was a good idea. They were indeed a little tired after working for such a long time and did not want to go through the trouble of lighting the stove. It would be convenient to exchange a few pieces with their neighbors.

It can make the house warmer as soon as possible.

When the two men were carrying the coal to the front yard, they did not notice that several women who stayed in the middle yard were gossiping.

Aunt Sun saw the behavior of the third aunt and spoke with disdain.

"Third Auntie, it's true. She's already figured it out as soon as she came in. She's even taking advantage of the few pieces of honeycomb coal."

An old lady next to her started talking with a smile.

"Hey, isn't that what old Yan is like? He won't let anyone get any benefit. He'll just take advantage of others. He'll take a few half-burned honeycomb coals and exchange them for some new ones."

"How could the Yan family not be happy?"

Aunt Wang in the front yard spoke in a low voice.

"I think these two new brothers don't have much money! When I helped them move just now, I found that they only had some broken things."

"Nothing valuable."

Aunt Sun covered her mouth and spoke with a smile.

"Hey, a poor family is worth a fortune. If they move, they will definitely move here. These two brothers are regular employees. I heard that they took over their parents' jobs. They must have savings, but they just don't show it."

Several aunties and sisters started chatting quietly in the middle courtyard. Wang Liming and his brother thought they were trying to help out of kindness, but they didn't know there was such a thing going on. They were still a little young.

After get off work in the evening, all the men in the compound knew that new neighbors had moved in. After listening to their wives' introductions, they formed a preliminary impression of the two young men.

Second uncle Liu Haizhong was sitting in a chair drinking tea, waiting for the new neighbors to come and visit.

The second uncle has already thought about what to say to the two little brothers later.

"You are the new neighbors, so you must live a down-to-earth life and abide by the rules of their yard. Most importantly, you must respect him as the second uncle."

"He, Liu Haizhong, is the highest controller of this hospital."

I drank so much tea that my stomach was full, but I didn't see any trace of the two little brothers.

Liu Haizhong was so angry that his face immediately turned gloomy and he slammed the big teacup down with a loud bang. He felt that these two guys didn't respect him and didn't take him seriously.

Liu Haizhong was burning with rage, and secretly made up his mind that he must teach these two bastards a lesson. They dared to treat Liu Haizhong as a nobody, so he had to teach them a lesson.

In fact, Wang Liming and his brother didn't really think that way.

The main reason was that they were so tired after a whole day's work that their legs were shaking. After dinner, they fell asleep on the bed without even taking off their clothes.

I never thought about visiting the manager of the hospital.

They didn't have this concept either. When they lived in their courtyard before, the two brothers always went against the manager. They really didn't think the manager was of any use, so they didn't have this idea.

next day

When Zhang Minghui came back from the toilet in the morning, he saw Liu Haizhong was about to go out. He greeted him, but saw that Liu Haizhong had a gloomy and cold expression. He nodded to Zhang Minghui and left.

Zhang Minghui is still thinking about it.

"Hey, what's wrong with Lao Liu? Who has offended him? Look at his expression, it's not right! Who is he offending?"

But I didn't pay much attention to it. Whoever he wants, as long as he doesn't mess with me, I don't care whether Liu Haizhong lives or dies.

After that, Zhang Minghui was very busy and completely forgot about the incident with Liu Haizhong.
