Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

In fact, Wang Gen's family didn't cook meat at all. Xu Damao was a cunning person, and Wang Gen didn't want to give him any handle.

Xu Damao was not picky and just started drinking at Wang Gen's house. As a result, he found that the wine jar was empty.

When Xu Damao learned that Wang Gen had given all his wine away, he felt both envious and regretful. So much wine was drunk by others, and he didn't get any credit at all.

Lou Xiao'e was helpless when she saw this. No one stopped him, and he drank as if he had never seen alcohol before.

"Xu Damao, I have something to discuss with you. Starting tomorrow, I will be a community volunteer."

Xu Damao was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Have you found a formal job? How is that possible? The community won't arrange a job for you."

Lou Xiao'e was so angry that she wanted to slap Xu Damao twice. It was bad enough that outsiders looked down on her family, but this son-in-law also looked down on the Lou family.

"It's not a formal job. I go there to help those in need. There's no salary."

When Xu Damao heard that he would not be paid, he immediately became unhappy. Working without pay, isn't that insane? Moreover, he was afraid of the community and didn't want to deal with them at all.

"No, I don't agree. You can't even do your housework properly, are you going to help or make trouble?

Yi Zhongyang took great pains to deal with the remaining dishes in the yard, and finally sent Yan Jiafu away. Next, he drove the fool back home so that he could have a chance to chat with his grandmother alone.

The old lady also had the same idea, so she declined the idiot's request for escort and let Yi Zhongyang help her back to the hut in the backyard. As soon as he entered the old lady's house, Yi Zhongyang's smile suddenly disappeared and he poured out all the grievances of the steel mill.

"Grandma, I was ostracized in the factory. I felt really wronged."

The old lady frowned. She didn't understand why Yi Zhongyang was treated so harshly. Even if he had harmed Director Yang, he shouldn't have been demoted directly from an eighth-grade worker to a sixth-grade worker.

"Zhongyang, tell me the truth, why did Director Yang demote you?"

Yi Zhongyang shook his head and pretended not to know: "Grandma, I really don't know. After I was demoted that day, I was locked up, and I didn't have the chance to inquire about these things after I came back."

In fact, it was not that he had no chance to find out, but that no one was willing to tell him the news. Yi Zhongyang could even betray a superior like Director Yang, so who would trust him? One person told ten people, ten told a hundred, and no one dared to take the risk.

He is not very popular among the people in the courtyard, but it is still tolerable if they live in the same courtyard; if he lives outside, no one will believe what he says.

This is indeed a tricky matter, but the old lady can't stay out of it. "What do you want me to do?"

Yi Zhongyang looked at the old lady expectantly: "You have a relationship with Director Yang, can you help me speak for him?"

The old lady fell silent. She knew that she did not have a very deep friendship with Director Yang. The so-called friendship between Yi Zhongyang and her was just a way for him to give her face.

"Zhongyang, Director Yang may not listen to me."

Yi Zhongyang pleaded, "Grandma, just give it a try. You know me well. I didn't mean to ** Director Yang."

Thinking about her future life, the old lady finally agreed, but she put forward a condition: "How are you going to deal with your marriage with Daizi? You once promised to introduce a girl to Daizi, but you see, Qin Huairu has caused so much trouble, I don't agree with her marrying him."

Yi Zhongyang lowered his head, his face terribly gloomy, and he was very unconvinced. The old lady was the only person he could rely on, and now she had to put forward conditions even for such a small favor, which made him very annoyed. But thinking of the current situation, he had to swallow his dissatisfaction temporarily: no matter who it was, it would be impossible for him to successfully marry the fool, so he didn't need to bother with the old lady.

"Grandma, I want to introduce a girl to Dazi, but she is the daughter of Director Liu of Workshop 7. I am only a level 6 worker now, and it is probably inappropriate to propose marriage in front of Director Liu."

The old lady understood what Yi Zhongyang meant: "Okay, take me to the factory tomorrow morning, and I will put aside my pride and help you beg for mercy."

The goal was achieved, and after Yi Zhongyang accompanied the old lady to rest, he returned to his room alone. When he returned to the middle courtyard, he saw the mark left by Qin Huairu, but he remained calm on the surface.

Late at night, Yi Zhongyang quietly put on his clothes, walked out of the house, and knocked a few times at Qin Huairu's window. Qin Huairu was awakened by the knocking, but did not get up immediately. Instead, he took advantage of the moonlight to observe for a while, making sure that no one was disturbing him, and then stood up carefully.

Yi Zhongyang had already been waiting outside.

When Qin Huairu saw Yi Zhongyang, she quickly apologized and said that she only knew he was tired from what others said.

Yi Zhongyang sighed: "Huai Ru, this is not your fault. But you should also pay more attention when you work during the day. After all, Director Liu will make things difficult for you, and I can't plead for you."

Qin Huairu nodded and agreed: "I know, sir. I also understand your difficulties. It is definitely not a solution to continue like this."

Yi Zhongyang comforted him, "Don't worry, it won't take long. When I regain my status as a level 8 worker, Director Liu won't dare to make things difficult for me anymore."

The next day, everyone woke up early as usual. When Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao went home to wash up, an old lady was helping the deaf old lady wash up.

Although the deaf old lady never stayed in bed, she usually didn't get up so early. She would always wait until everyone went to work before getting up. The aunt usually went to the backyard to take care of the deaf old lady after Yi Zhonghai went to the factory.

Xu Damao turned a blind eye and went on with his own business, but Lou Xiao'e had to greet the deaf old lady with a smile.

"Xiao'e, why did you come from the front yard? That's so rude." The deaf old lady sighed.

Lou Xiao'e responded casually: "Old lady, we had dinner at Wang Kun's house. We didn't go home at night. It's no big deal, right? Isn't that right, Damao?"

Xu Damao spit out the toothpaste in his mouth and said, "Of course it's okay. It's just that I drank too much. Why not sleep with Xue'er?"

He glanced at the deaf old lady and added, "Hurry up and eat. Wang Kun likes Xue'er the most. There were a few eggs left over from yesterday, so I must have cooked them for her."

Lou Xiao'e noticed that the deaf old lady's face was livid, and she hurriedly pulled Xu Damao back home, complaining, "Why did you deliberately irritate the deaf old lady?"

Xu Damao muttered quietly: "I did it on purpose. I can't stand the look on her face. If you want to talk to me, stay in the backyard."

With that, he left. Lou Xiaoe snorted, packed up, took her bag and walked out, completely ignoring the deaf old lady.

Seeing this, an old lady said, "Don't be angry, old lady. Let's go eat. Lao Yi bought some buns and fried dough sticks especially for you."

The deaf old lady stopped talking, thinking that Yi Zhonghai had already agreed to introduce a date to Sha Zhu. Lou Xiaoe, the "hen that can't lay eggs", had no choice but to give up.

When they arrived at Wang Kun's house, the couple was silent. Xu Damao couldn't help but talk about the backyard: "Didn't you see the look in the deaf old lady's eyes? It was as if I was superfluous."

You are indeed redundant.

The deaf old lady wants Lou Xiao'e to marry Sha Zhu, but how can she marry you if you are in the way? How can Lou Xiao'e marry Sha Zhu if she doesn't get rid of you?

"Alright, the deaf old lady is trying to sow discord between you. There's no need to quarrel over such a small matter. Let's eat."

Xu Damao was not convinced and felt ashamed: "Something is wrong. Why did the deaf old lady get up so early today? Something must have happened."

While taking care of Xue'er's meal, Lou Xiao'e replied, "What if something is wrong? What can you do to her? Eat quickly. If you annoy her, Sha Zhu will do it."

Xu Damao stopped talking, his eyes kept moving, and he was obviously still thinking about the deaf old lady.

After breakfast, Wang Kun took Xueer to school as usual. Xu Damao stayed at Wang Kun's house and watched. After all, he was a projectionist, and his life was relatively leisurely unless he had a task.

In the middle courtyard, the deaf old lady had a satisfied breakfast and walked out with the help of Yi Zhonghai. As soon as Yi Zhonghai helped the deaf old lady up, he felt regretful. Although the courtyard was not far from the steel plant, it was not within the reach of the deaf old lady.

What if I can’t get there?

I can only carry her.

This job belongs to him.

Yi Zhonghai felt that it was impossible for him to carry the deaf old lady all the way to the steel plant and back.

"Old lady, how about letting Wang Kun take you there on a tricycle?"

The deaf old lady knew that she couldn't walk to the steel plant, so she was happy to take a car. However, when Yi Zhonghai went out, he saw Wang Kun's car flash by. Wang Kun heard the noise but ignored him.

Yan Bugui came out and said, "Old Yi, what do you want to talk to Wang Kun about?"

Li Haibin felt that his neighbors were unwilling to lend a hand, and he was very dissatisfied. He walked around the yard several times, but still could not find a suitable solution.

The old lady probably saw through his thoughts, and in order to avoid suffering, she sighed and asked, "Where is my grandson?"

Li Haibin suddenly slapped his forehead and blamed himself, "Yes, how could I forget my adopted son. I should find him now! Old lady, please wait a moment, I will go call him."

Without waiting for Li Haibin to take action, Su Yanling had already run to Sha Zhu's room and pushed the door open.

"Xiao Zhu, get up quickly!"

Sha Zhu opened his eyes sleepily and asked in confusion: "Sister Yanling, what's wrong?"

"The deaf old lady wants to go to the steel mill, and uncle can't carry her alone. You get up and carry her!"

Sha Zhu sat up suddenly without having time to put on his shirt. Su Yanling glanced at him a few times without avoiding suspicion, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Look at what you've seen, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Hurry up, the old lady is waiting for you at uncle's house."

Despite saying this, Su Yanling still politely withdrew, in case Jia saw her and caused another quarrel.

Sha Zhu quickly dressed, washed his face hurriedly, and rushed to Li Haibin's house.

"Old lady, what is it that requires you to go to the steel mill in person? Tell me and I will help you."

The old lady felt very warm after hearing Sha Zhu's words: "It's about your uncle. You saw how tired he was yesterday."

"Okay, I'll carry you over there!"
