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

Song Wanqing lowered her head and remained silent. She was very reluctant to agree to Zhang Daqing's request. She knew very well that Zhang Daqing was not a man who cherished old feelings. Once he succeeded, it would be difficult for her to take advantage of him in the future.

Is it for the sake of the salary of less than ten yuan that Zhang Daqing succeeds, or is it for the sake of retaining strength and waiting for greater opportunities in the future?

This choice is really difficult to make.

Thinking that Li Zhu had been trying to deal with Zhang Daqing recently, Song Wanqing decided to use this as a threat: "Daqing, I promise you, but what if you don't keep your promise?"

"Sister Song, I, Zhang Daqing, keep my word and never lie. By the way, I'm going to buy food now, do you want to come with me?"

Song Wanqing didn't hesitate and sat on Zhang Daqing's bicycle. Zhang Daqing's bicycle was of poor quality and the brakes often had problems.

The happiest person in the courtyard was Liu Haizhong. He originally thought that he could only be a level 6 worker for the rest of his life, but he unexpectedly received a notice from the workshop director, telling him that he would have the opportunity to take the assessment this year. If he passed the assessment, he would be able to resume his level 7 worker status.

Liu Haizhong didn't think that this incident had anything to do with the old lady coming to the steel mill. In his opinion, this was a signal from the factory leaders that they recognized his ability and wanted to promote him.

To celebrate the good news, Liu Haizhong bought a piece of meat. From then on, he no longer had to give the good things at home to his deaf grandmother, which made him feel more at ease to enjoy the delicious food.

"Old lady, let's have stew today."

"Lao Liu, why are you thinking of buying meat?"

Liu Haizhong proudly told his wife that he was valued by his superiors. Second Aunt was overjoyed and praised Liu Haizhong before she started to stew the meat.

After the meal was ready, Liu Guanghui and Liu Fuguang

"You're right. Ever since Zhao Jun moved in, the atmosphere in the courtyard has become worse and worse. Everyone has started to imitate him and has become unfilial. How can this be like being neighbors living in the same courtyard? What are you going to do?"

Chen Haiyang had already made a plan, and this time he did not hide it and told Aunt Wang the plan in detail.

His strategy was simple: use his influence to create some trouble in the steel plant, so that Li Zhi and the other two would have to bow to him. As long as these people surrendered, no one in the courtyard would speak for Zhao Jun anymore. In this way, public opinion in the courtyard would be completely in his hands. They could prevent Zhang Wei from getting married, and of course they could also prevent Zhao Jun from getting support.

Aunt Wang nodded in approval. This was indeed the best way to deal with Zhao Jun. After all, the courtyard was their home ground, where things were easy to do and not likely to cause any major trouble. Zhao Jun's situation was similar to Zhang Wei's. He had no elders at home and was raising a younger sister alone.

Facing people like Zhao Jun is exactly what they are best at. With the experience of dealing with Zhang Wei, they cannot fail.

"However, Zhao Jun is still a little different from Zhang Wei. You have to be careful when you act."

Chen Haiyang was not worried. What happened last time would never happen again. He would never make the same mistake a second time.

"Don't worry, he can't find any evidence against me. If it wasn't for Zhang Wei last time, I wouldn't have had to confront Zhao Jun head-on."

Aunt Wang's cloudy eyes flashed a trace of contempt. The so-called for Zhang Wei was actually for Lin Huiru. If it weren't for Lin Huiru's instigation, how could Zhang Wei have a conflict with Zhao Jun? He asked Zhang Wei and learned that when they first met, Zhang Wei and Zhao Jun had a good relationship.

Speaking of Zhang Wei, Aunt Wang thought of the issue of Zhang Wei's wife again.

"Chen Hai, when are you going to arrange a blind date for Zhang Wei?"

Chen Haiyang secretly cursed his mistake, why did he mention Zhang Wei when there were so many other things to mention. But when he thought about the girl he introduced to Zhang Wei, Chen Haiyang felt lucky.

Zhou Yong, the director of the seventh workshop of the factory, was the only daughter in the family and was doted on. However, because of the excessive doting, she lived an overly luxurious life. She was even fatter than Jia Fang, weighing more than 200 kilograms.

Zhang Wei would never be interested in such a girl. And as it happened, Aunt Wang no longer liked Lin Huiru recently, so Lin Huiru would not come to ruin Zhang Wei's blind date.

At the same time, Li Zhi and Qian Qiang also happened to work in Workshop 7. If pressure was to be put on them, Zhou Yong's help would also be needed.

"Don't worry, grandma. I will discuss it with Zhou Yong as soon as possible. His daughter performs very well in the factory and her monthly salary is not less than Zhang Wei's. In addition, Zhou Yuhua is very filial. You will definitely like this daughter-in-law."

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "You must find someone who is reliable and dependable. Zhang Wei is a simple and honest kid who is easy to be deceived."

Chen Haiyang thought to himself that there might not be anyone more down-to-earth than Zhou Yuhua. Even if she wanted to do something bad, no one would give her the chance. If there was a man who really valued Zhou Yuhua, she wouldn't have been unable to find a husband now.

"Don't worry, I learned how to judge people from you. If you don't believe me, you should at least believe in your own judgment, right?"

Aunt Wang didn't really trust Chen Haiyang's judgment. But it didn't matter, because she was the one who made the final decision on Zhang Wei's marriage, and Zhang Wei couldn't go against her wishes.

"Hai, I understand your good intentions. I don't want to see Lin Huiru and her family suffer. Don't worry, after Zhang Wei gets married, I will let the couple help take care of Lin Huiru."

The two reached a deal with Zhang Wei's marriage, but did not ask for Zhang Wei's opinion. At this moment, the protagonist they were talking about was being questioned by Lin Huiru at home.

Recently, Wang Dahai's physical strength has recovered a lot, and it has become easier for him to do many things, including practicing emergency braking.

Wang Dahai took Lin Huiru for a walk outside for nearly two hours before returning to the courtyard.

Although the two went home separately, Lu Jing still noticed something was wrong. But she pretended not to see anything and did not show any dissatisfaction to Wang Dahai.

Lin Huiru secretly returned home, and was greeted by Jia Fang's scolding and the crying of three children.

Other families had already eaten, but they were the only ones waiting for Lin Huiru to come home and cook.

Jia Fang started to curse until he was interrupted by the meat in Lin Huiru's hand.

"Where did you get this meat?"

"Wang Dahai gave it to me."

"Why did he give you meat?"

As for exchanging steamed buns for meat, Lin Huiru could only make up an excuse.

When he learned that Yi Mingyang was also punished, Zhuzi was so angry that he jumped up and down. "What a bunch of fence-sitters! When the old man was the top worker in the workshop, they all surrounded him and tried to please him; now that the old man is in trouble, they start to add insult to injury. I will let them see my methods and teach that Director Lin a lesson!"

Qin Huaiyun didn't know what tricks Zhuzi would use, so he tried to comfort him again and again. Finally, he returned home amid the scolding of Aunt Jia.

Qin Huaiyun was indeed very tired after a day's work. She had never been so tired since she came to the steel mill. When she got home, the children were already asleep. She quickly tidied up and lay down as well.

When Yi Mingyang came out of the deaf old woman's house, he saw that the lights in Qin Huaiyun's house were off, and his disappointment was beyond words.

On the other hand, Wang Kun saw that Xu Dajun had not returned for a long time, and was afraid that his daughter Xiaomei would be hungry, so he made some snacks. Lou Xiaoyun and Xiaomei were quite interested in these snacks, and they ate them with great pleasure. Fortunately, he prepared the snacks in advance, otherwise when Xu Dajun came back, Xiaomei would have been hungry.

Xu Dajun looked a little embarrassed, and secretly glanced at Lou Xiaoyun, worried that she would attack again. But seeing that she did not, he found an excuse to explain.

"My bike broke down on the way, and I had to drag it to several repair shops before it was fixed. Xiaomei must be hungry, let's eat quickly."

This time, Xu Dajun did not put on any pretense. He took the dishes and went straight into the kitchen to cut the ingredients.

Wang Kun saw through his lie at a glance, and seeing that even Lou Xiaoyun was indifferent, he didn't say much. Xu Dajun drank with Wang Kun. "I have been very worried today. The deaf old lady came forward, and I thought I could convince the factory director to give her face. I didn't expect the result to be so anticlimactic. Let's have a toast to this matter!"

Wang Kun asked, "What is the relationship between the deaf old lady and the factory director that makes you value him so much?"

Xu Dajun shook his head. "I don't know their relationship, but the deaf old lady is indeed quite famous outside."

Wang Kun understood that the reason why everyone gave the deaf old lady face was more because of her age than because of their real friendship. In this era, most people's minds are relatively simple, and helping each other is a common phenomenon. When meeting such an elderly person, it is natural to be polite.

The residents of the courtyard all have the characteristics of that era, including Xu Dajun. They saw that the neighborhood committee director, the police station chief and others were very polite to the deaf old lady, and with the rumors, they guessed that there must be a powerful background behind them. If Wang Kun had not come from the Internet age and seen countless tricks, he would not have been easily fooled by them.

Nowadays, people are used to calling the police when something happens, and will not easily let others interfere in their private affairs. Wang Kun brought this habit into this era, which had a significant impact on everyone in the courtyard. His actions made the entire courtyard fragmented. The most affected were undoubtedly the deaf old lady and Yi Mingyang. No wonder they were so anxious that they went to Yang Wanqing to plead for mercy.

Unfortunately, his cleverness backfired. Yi Mingyang squandered all the goodwill he had worked so hard to accumulate. It was really gratifying.

Xu Dajun kept drinking with Wang Kun and soon got himself drunk. Lou Xiaoyun coaxed Xiaomei to sleep and only came out of the room when Xu Dajun was drunk and unconscious.

When Wang Kun returned home, he noticed that Lou Xiaoyun was worried, but he couldn't speak because Xiaomei was at home. Now that Xiaomei had fallen asleep and Xu Dajun was drunk, it was a good time to ask her about it.

"Sister Xiaoyun, what happened to you today?"

Lou Xiaoyun sat opposite Wang Kun and told him the rumors that Bai Mei had heard from Aunt Wei.

"Wang Kun, you work in a steel mill. Tell me, are these rumors true?"

According to the information Wang Kun had, the affair between Xu Dajun and Qin Huaiyun was not innocent, but it was not completely dirty. Qin Huaiyun's reputation as a beautiful widow was indeed earned by her beauty. Although the men in the steel mill might touch her a few times, most of the time they didn't even take off her clothes. When they couldn't avoid it anymore, it would be Zhuzi's turn to show up. Those men were guilty and didn't dare to make a big deal.
