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

The two haven't even chatted a few words yet!

Cheng Siyu prepared a few side dishes first, and the four cold dishes of pork head, Chinese sausage, tofu with green onions, and peanuts were served first. After they were served, she smiled and spoke.

"You two brothers, drink first. These side dishes are ready. I'll go cook you some hot dishes, which will be served soon."

Xu Damao spoke quickly.

"Sister-in-law, don't bother with that. These dishes are enough. It's more than enough for the two of us to drink with."

Cheng Siyu smiled and said nothing, and went out to prepare hot dishes. Is it not right to let the guests who came to my house not even have hot dishes to eat?

Zhang Minghui grabbed Xu Damao's arm and dragged him to the dining table. He poured him some white wine, and the two of them slowly started chatting about some people and things in the courtyard.

Courtyard 95 has undergone tremendous changes.

After Zhang Minghui's family moved away, it didn't take long for Banggeng and his friends to return from the countryside. Not only them, but millions of people who went to the countryside to work in the production team poured into the city.

Many people returned to Sijiu City with their families. At that time, Sijiu City was full of people returning home.

The government had no extra jobs for them, so they had to make a living on their own. The government relaxed its policies and allowed them to do some small business. Some hardworking people started selling various items on the street.

People like Bang Geng started to do their old business and do some shady things.

Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu had no way to get married because of Bang Geng's obstruction. As time went by, Sha Zhu's heart gradually changed and he abandoned Qin Huairu.

He fell in love with another young widow in the factory, who had two children. But Sha Zhu liked her, and they got married in secret not long after.

The young widow also gave birth to a big fat boy for Sha Zhu.

At this point, Xu Damao was still a little indignant and kept muttering to Zhang Minghui.

"Minghui, you don't know that during that time, Qin Jingru was arguing with me for a divorce. She was arguing with me every day at home, and I was in no mood to care about Sha Zhu's affairs."

"Otherwise, how could this bastard get married so easily? If I knew about this, I would definitely ruin it for him."

Of course Zhang Minghui held the wine in his hands and drank a glass with Xu Damao. Xu Damao smacked his lips and sighed.

"Minghui, you don't know. After Director Yang came back to work, he dealt a heavy blow to me. Later, my father had no choice but to ask someone to transfer me to the cinema."

"The factory couldn't accommodate them anymore, so they didn't have as much information. By the time I got the news, they had already received their marriage certificate and had arranged the wedding banquet."

Zhang Minghui was also a little dazed when listening to this. Xu Damao's words brought him back to that era and filled him with memories.

As Xu Damao talked about the people and events in the courtyard, their faces seemed to appear before him one by one. Xu Damao's voice was still chattering in his ears.

"Minghui, it's a good thing you didn't live in the Siheyuan. It's a terrible place. During the crackdown last year, both Banggeng and Wang Lizhu were arrested. Banggeng was sentenced to 20 years, and Wang Lizhu was sentenced to years."

Just then Cheng Siyu brought the dishes into the room. When she heard Xu Damao's words, she was stunned and couldn't help asking.

"Brother Damao, why did you sentence him to so many years? After so many years in prison, wouldn't that be the end of him?"

Xu Damao took a sip of white wine, ate two bites of food, and then explained to Zhang Minghui and his wife.

"Minghui, sister-in-law, this is really not the government's fault. It's really because Wang Lizhu and his brother and Banggeng went too far. After Banggeng came back, he started hanging out with Wang Lizhu and his brother."

"The three of them had clear division of labor. Some were on the lookout, some were on the lookout, and Bang Geng was quite skilled. He was responsible for breaking into houses and picking locks. Many houses near Nanluoguxiang were robbed."

"In those years, they lived a carefree life, drinking and eating meat every day. They fed Jia Zhangshi so much that she regained her weight and became as fat as a pig."

"The three of them are still the bosses in the yard, and they often fight with the Liu Guangtian brothers in the backyard and the stingy Yan in the front yard."

"There is no one in the whole yard who doesn't bother these two families."

Cheng Siyu asked in surprise.

"Brother Damao, that's not right! I remember Qin Huairu was a very sensible person with a smart mind. Why didn't you stop her?"

Zhang Minghui was also very confused. Qin Huairu was not a simple woman. Was she just going to watch her son degenerate and do nothing?

This is the only child of the Jia family!

Xu Damao said with some emotion.

"Sister-in-law, Qin Huairu is not a good person. Can she just ignore it?"

"But no one listens to her! Whenever Qin Huairu intervenes, Jia Zhangshi interferes. The two girls in the Jia family are not easy to deal with. How can they not be happy to eat delicious food every day?"

"Help Jia Zhang stop her mother and comfort her mother. This is all earned by her brother with his ability. If he has this ability, why not use it."

Zhang Minghui shook his head and sighed. What good could he learn from being around Jia Zhang? He learned how to be lazy and gluttonous.

"Well, the Jia family had a good life for a few years. But they also angered many neighbors and became notorious in Nanluoguxiang."

"During the crackdown last year, Bang Geng and Wang Lizhu were the main targets. The neighborhood office and the police station came to the hospital to arrest them. But these guys are very sneaky."

"After receiving the letter, he ran to the countryside to hide. Guess what, after hiding in the countryside for only a few days, someone reported him. The police directly sent a lot of people to search the village."

"We just caught them."

Zhang Minghui and Xu Damao clinked glasses of wine and drank a small glass happily. This was a moment worth celebrating.

These people have received the retribution they deserved. When Zhang Minghui moved, he wanted to deal with these people, but so many things happened at once that he didn't have time to deal with them.

I was busy preparing for my trip to Hong Kong.

They got a good deal and lived a carefree life for a few years. After coming back this time, Zhang Minghui no longer took these small people seriously.

It's too cheap to argue with them.

Of course, if Old Yi was still alive, it would be a different matter. This old guy is the person Zhang Minghui hates the most.

Xu Damao has not improved much in his drinking capacity over the years. After a few drinks, his tongue became a little swollen, and he spoke with drunken eyes.

"Minghui, let me tell you something. After Banggeng and the other two got into trouble, I asked someone to find out. Guess what, the police station said it was reported by a comrade named Yan."
