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

"Li Lianying."

Yan Fugui felt that this name was so familiar. He kept saying it, but he just couldn't remember who it was.

Taking advantage of Yan Fugui's daze, Zhang Minghui rushed to the Chuihua Gate. Seeing that Yan Fugui was still in a daze, Zhang Minghui smiled and spoke.

"Third Master, Li Lianying can't remember who that person is. He was a close friend of Cixi."

Yan Fugui was not like Zhang Minghui, who had been bombarded with all kinds of information in later life. He felt that the name sounded familiar when he heard Zhang Minghui's teasing.

Then I suddenly remembered, wasn't that the eunuch Li Lianying?

Thinking of this, Yan Fugui's face turned red, and he looked at Zhang Minghui in the distance and roared.

"Zhang Minghui, you little bastard, a wicked and wicked bastard, playing such a joke on your uncle."

Yan Fugui was not the only one in the front yard. There were also several aunts and grandmas working and chatting. They all heard Zhang Minghui's teasing and saw Yan Fugui looking depressed.

Aunt Liu's face was full of smiles as she spoke.

"Uncle, why are you so anxious? I think Minghui is right. You already have many children and even grandchildren. What else do you care about? Listen to Minghui and find a doctor to perform the operation."

"Let's all broaden our horizons. We really don't know what eunuchs are like!"

Aunt Wang next to her continued.

"Old Yan, this suggestion is very good. As the manager, you should set an example for the people in the hospital and let us see more of the world."

The two aunts' teasing made the surrounding women laugh. Zhang Minghui was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

No one can stand the Yan family's frugal nature. It's okay once or twice, but who can tolerate taking advantage of them for years and months?

So the men in the courtyard were reluctant to speak up, and the aunts and uncles would tease Yan Fugui from time to time, so that Yan Fugui had to pretend that his ears were deaf and couldn't hear anything.

Yan Fugui’s idea is, you guys say yours, and I’ll take advantage of mine. Anyway, I’ve got the benefits, so it won’t cost me anything to let you say a few words.

Zhang Minghui walked through the corridor and his eyes lit up when he saw an old acquaintance. Hey, no wonder Yan Fugui just said it was about him. It turned out that Yi Zhonghai was released.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai doing the laundry with his butt sticking out, Zhang Minghui smiled and spoke loudly.

"Hey, isn't this Uncle Yi? I haven't seen him for two years. Uncle Yi looks much stronger now. He should take care of himself after coming back. Why is he washing clothes himself?

"This senior worker is washing clothes. Isn't that a waste of talent?"

"It's good that you retired early. Unlike us younger people, we still have to work hard every day. I really envy you."

As soon as these words came out, the aunties and sisters by the pool burst into laughter. There was also a goose-like laughter that echoed throughout the middle courtyard.

Everyone knew that Zhang Minghui and Yi Zhonghai did not get along. Ever since Zhang Minghui entered the Central Courtyard, the neighbors in the courtyard had been keeping an eye on Zhang Minghui to see how he would respond.

When the words were spoken which were apparently compliments but were actually full of sarcasm, everyone couldn't hold it in anymore.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned dark and his complexion dropped, but two years of hard work had made his face a lot darker, and no one could really tell there was any change.

Yi Zhonghai raised his head, stared at Zhang Minghui with a sinister look, and spoke calmly.

"Minghui, you have a good tongue, but you really need to be more careful with your words. After all, I am your elder, so I can forgive your nonsense."

"If outsiders heard this, they would have something to say about it. You are so old, but you have no manners at all."

"You have to think carefully before you say anything. Otherwise, the neighbors will be embarrassed and you will lose all your face."

Wow, Zhang Minghui heard that Yi Zhonghai is still as skilled as ever! His words were sharp, he occupied the commanding heights, and he also won over the neighbors. This little talk really covered all aspects.

Seeing that there was something wrong in the neighbors' eyes, Zhang Minghui spoke as he walked.

"Uncle Yi, the neighbors in our courtyard have no face left. Ever since you committed a crime and went to jail two years ago, everyone's face has been lost along with you. Don't you know that?"

"Your story was a sensation in the city back then, and your name was so famous. The neighbors were unlucky to live in the same courtyard with you. During that time, you were criticized wherever you went."

"You are really great. You have made us proud."

After saying that, Zhang Minghui gave Yi Zhonghai a thumbs up. Without waiting for Yi Zhonghai to reply, Zhang Minghui walked to the Moon Gate.

The neighbors who thought Zhang Minghui's words were rude just now, after being reminded by Zhang Minghui, stared at Yi Zhonghai with all kinds of strange eyes, and the aunts and sisters started chatting.

"That's right, Minghui is right. Old Yi, you have really screwed everyone over. What you did was really terrible. If you hadn't been in jail, would our hospital have such a bad reputation?"

"Hey, Lao Yi, you are really lacking in virtue. Our family is not rich to begin with, and because of your reputation, the courtyard had to let our kid move out. Do you know how much the increase in expenses is?"

Zhang Minghui's remarks aroused the anger of the neighbors in the courtyard. Everyone blamed Yi Zhonghai for the damaged reputation of the courtyard. He became the target of public criticism and was constantly criticized by everyone.

Seeing that something was not right, Yi Zhonghai slid into the house with the basin in his hand, hiding from the wind. He sat on the chair, getting angrier and angrier the more he thought about it.

Jia Zhang was sitting at the door. When she saw what happened to Yi Zhonghai, a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She bared her big yellow teeth and talked to Qin Huairu.

"Huai Ru, see, Yi Zhonghai is no longer a good person. It's no wonder that little brat can't stand him, right? Old Yi's actions have affected everyone's reputation."

"But this is the best. Yi Zhonghai will only have our family to take care of him. Then he will be obedient and listen to our arrangements! We have to let him make money to support our Jia family."

Qin Huairu stood in the back, and seeing the neighbors' condemnation, she inexplicably gained more confidence. She now really felt that what Jia Zhang said was reliable.

Zhang Minghui ignored what happened in the Intermediate Court. When he returned home, he saw Doudou cleaning the house with a broom. When he saw Zhang Minghui come in, he dropped the broom.

He twirled his short legs and threw himself into Zhang Minghui's arms.

Holding Zhang Minghui's thighs, she tilted her head back and spoke coquettishly.

"Brother, brother, Doudou misses you so much. I haven't seen you for a whole day."

Zhang Minghui picked up Doudou, held Doudou in his arms, scratched Doudou's little nose, and talked happily.

"Brother misses Doudou too. Was Doudou good in school today?"

Doudou kissed Zhang Minghui on the cheek a few times and spoke softly.

"Brother, Doudou is the most obedient."
