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

Chapter 508: Changes in the Virtuous Neighbor

Li Wen nodded, and Axia immediately ran to call Duoduo.

Hu Li rubbed his hands and asked awkwardly, "Li Wen, you caught so many fish. The old lady in our backyard is the elder of our yard. The rule in the yard is that whoever has good things should honor the old lady. When you cook these fish, give some of the fish meat to the old lady."

Li Wen glanced at Hu Li and said, "Hu Li, I have told you many times that I have nothing to do with the old lady. If you want to recognize her as your elder, that is your business. I don't want to have an ancestor above my head. If any of you want to find an elder, go find one yourself."

"We don't want any elders either." The crowd responded in unison.

Recently, no one has to give good things to the old lady, and life has become much easier. After enjoying the days of freedom, no one wants to find an elder to restrain themselves again. This is related to the vital interests of everyone, and no one is willing to compromise.

Hu Li looked at everyone angrily, "Why are you like this? The old lady is so kind. Aren't all the big and small things in our courtyard solved by the old lady?"

"Hu Li, the old lady has never interfered in my family's affairs."

"It's the same in my family. When my child was looking for a job, he asked the street office for help, but the old lady never went there once."

An elder sister-in-law in the crowd hesitated to speak. The old lady had always been Yi Zhonghai and Hu Li's backer, but she didn't know anything that had nothing to do with them.

Recently, people no longer acknowledged the old lady's status as an elder, and no longer gave her good food, which made the old lady very angry. Whenever she smelled the delicious smell of the neighbors, she would secretly ask for it. In order to satisfy the old lady's appetite, they spent a lot of money. Although Yi Zhonghai's salary was high, he did not have many food coupons. In order to exchange for food coupons, he secretly ran to the pigeon market. As a result, the family did not save a penny.

The eldest sister-in-law originally wanted to persuade everyone to respect the old lady, but seeing that the old lady was not popular in the courtyard, she could only shut up.

Hu Li listened to the discussion of the people in the courtyard and felt angry and confused. In his mind, the old lady was the best person in the courtyard. If there was anyone who could be compared with the old lady, it was Yi Zhonghai. Even the goddess in his heart, Qin Huairu, could not compare with the old lady.

But why does the old lady mentioned by everyone sound like a bad person?

"Shut up! The old lady and Master Yi have done so much for our yard. If you are not willing to respect the old lady, don't expect her to help you in the future."

No one took this statement seriously, and no one expected the old lady to help.

Li Huiru was hiding in the crowd and almost exploded with anger. It was clearly about the fish, but how did it become a dispute about money?

"Amu, come here." Li Huiru called softly.

Amu was just about to ask for some more fish for Granny Liu, but when he heard Li Huiru calling him, he immediately ran over and followed her into the inner courtyard.

Zhang Damin shook his head, feeling worried. It was really puzzling that Amu had exiled himself like this. But if he thought carefully about the bastards around him, he could only pray: God, you must protect this honest young man, otherwise his future life will be really difficult.

With a few sweet words, Li Huiru made Amu completely forget about asking for money and fish. As the tempting aroma from Zhang Damin's house spread throughout the compound, people's discussions became louder and louder.

When they got home, Li Huiru's son Xiaozhu started crying, "Mom, I want to eat fish! We haven't had meat in the house for a long time. Please make me a bowl of fish."

"Mom, we want to eat fish too!" The younger brother and sister also echoed.

Wang Cuilian swallowed her saliva and urged Li Huiru, "Huiru, didn't you hear that Xiaozhu and the others wanted to eat fish? Go get some."

Li Huiru smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, the Wang family won't give it to us, and there's nothing I can do about it. If you really want to eat it, go and ask for it yourself."

Wang Cuilian glared at Li Huiru, her eyes full of fear. Since the last dispute with the Zhu family, Wang Cuilian has been much more restrained in the courtyard. She needs to keep an eye on her son at all times to prevent him and Li Huiru from getting involved in any improper things. Therefore, she absolutely dare not offend someone as powerful as the Zhu family again, not to mention the even more terrifying Zhang Daming.

"Li Huiru, do you think I have no sense and want me to die? If I die, you can hang out with a wild man like Amu."

Li Huiru said with tears streaming down her face: "Mom, why are you saying such things in front of the child? I have already said that I will be a widow for Dongsheng for the rest of my life and will never marry again."

Seeing this, Wang Cuilian took Xiaozhu's face into consideration and did not continue to blame him.

However, Xiao Zhu was not willing to be outdone. In the past few days, the Jia family had no money at all, and Li Huiru dared not spend a penny to save money.

Although Alin would send some cornmeal from time to time, it was really unbearable for people who had been eating vegetarian food for a long time.

"Mom, please find a way to get some fish. I really want to eat fish."

Li Huiru sighed helplessly: "Xiao Zhu, don't cry. When I get my salary, I will definitely buy you some fish, okay?"

"No, I want to eat it now. If the Wang family refuses to give it to me, you can go find Amu. Maybe you can get some fish from the Wang family." Xiao Zhu still refused to give up.

Wang Cuilian also chimed in: "Hui Ru, didn't you hear what Xiao Zhu said? Go call Amu, maybe he can really get it."

"Mom, what if Wang Daming talked to Amu about salary? If I hadn't been there to remind Amu of this, our family wouldn't know what to do now. Can you give the money back to Amu?" Li Huiru retorted.

Wang Cuilian covered her waist and said nothing more.

Li Huiru couldn't bear to see the children being wronged, so she picked up the bowl at home and walked out. After thinking it over, she decided to try to ask Zhang Daming for some fish. Although she no longer had all her hopes on Zhang Daming, among the remaining candidates in the hospital, only Zhang Daming was suitable.

Zhang Damin prepared a pot of braised fish and asked his daughters to stay at home to enjoy it, and the rest was distributed to several neighbors. He knew that it was not a wise choice to enjoy the meal alone, but he had no intention of blindly currying favor for the sake of reputation.

In Siheyuan, doing good deeds often brings more requests. Just like the unlucky Shazhu before, he gave away some today, and these people will naturally expect more in the future. If he doesn't give more, he will inevitably be blamed by them.

However, families like the Tian and Qian families, which have problems but are generally good, are worth supporting. Their daughters-in-law can say a few good words for him in the yard, which is also the most practical help to him.

Zhang Daming wants everyone to understand that only by listening to him can they gain benefits.

"Xiaofang, Xiaodou, eat the fish slowly at home and be careful of the bones." Zhang Daming advised.

Xiaofang looked up at him and said, "Brother, please sit down and eat with us! Xiaodou and I don't eat much."

Zhang Damin said with a smile: "You guys eat first, eat more fish and meat
