Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

On the other side, Song Bing sat there quietly, lost in thought. She recalled what her father said to her last night: "Daughter, as long as you find a key breakthrough in anything, you can destroy those seemingly indestructible fortresses. These people gathered together for the sake of interests, and they will eventually fall apart because of interests."

Her father's words were like a revelation, causing Song Bing to re-examine the situation. She knew that in order to solve the problem, she had to find that key breakthrough...

"Why, Dad? Isn't it that a relationship based on interests is more stable?" the girl asked, blinking her innocent big eyes.

Her father touched her head and said earnestly, "Silly child, look at how many people are praised by others? It must be very few. Have you ever thought about the reason?"

The girl shook her head, expressing confusion.

My father continued, "You know, praising a person comes at a price. Take a workshop for example. Usually only one advanced person can be praised. However, there are at least hundreds of people in the entire workshop. Are they really not as good as the advanced person? In fact, it is not necessarily the case. The gap between everyone may not be that big. But if so many people are praised, where can there be enough resources to allocate to each of them?"

The girl seemed to understand something, nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "So what you mean is that they will have contradictions and conflicts due to unfair distribution of benefits, and eventually disintegrate? In this case, can't we take advantage of the situation?"

Seeing that his daughter finally understood his intention, the father showed a trace of relief on his face, but he still reminded her: "That's right, but if there is no external intervention, their state will continue for quite a long time."

"But we can't just wait for them to disband on their own!" Song Bing was still a little confused.

"Therefore, we must provide appropriate assistance to certain external forces. Don't forget that I am now the secretary. Since I have expressed my determination to bring these corrupt officials to justice, there will definitely be people who will take the initiative to provide clues or evidence."

At this moment, Director Song finally revealed his hidden plan, which was not only an open and aboveboard strategy, but also a manifestation of the power he possessed as the top leader. Since you are trying to do those shameful things under my nose, I will simply expose you completely in public.

"Dad, you've told me so much, but you don't want to teach me, right?" the daughter asked doubtfully.

"Yes, there is a crucial link, that is, they must have our spies inside! If I personally go out, it will involve too many people, and everyone's attention will be focused on me. But you are different, not so many people will pay attention to you."

"Okay, Dad, I know what to do. Please rest assured and leave it to me."

Secretary Song looked at his daughter helplessly and sighed inwardly. In fact, he had no choice but to do this. Success would be great, but failure would not matter.

Even if my daughter accidentally leaked the news, it would still serve as a warning to others. No matter what, I will never let these greedy rats go easily.

After coming to her senses, Song Bing suddenly realized a very thorny problem: she had no idea who the rat hiding in the dark was! This made her extremely confused and embarrassed...

At the same time, Liu Mei on the other side had already started her day's work.

On the way to work, she kept thinking about the things her husband asked her to do, and she was thinking about how to deal with it. When she sat down in the office, she asked, "By the way, are there any supplies that haven't been distributed in our street?"

Xiao Wang, a subordinate standing by, replied, "Director, we still have some supplies left from the last time we were approved by the higher authorities for the selection of civilized courtyard houses, but because we are very strict in checking, a few supplies have not been distributed yet."

Liu Mei nodded in agreement: "Well, this won't work. We can't keep piling up these supplies. Come with me and take a look at which families are having a hard time around here. We have to find a way to help them."

After the two of them had discussed it, they quickly packed up their belongings and set off on their bicycles. On the way, Xiao Wang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Director, where are we going first?"

"We can't distribute these materials randomly. We need to plan them carefully. Hmm... why don't we start with the places that were rated as civilized courtyards last time? At the same time, we can also set an example for other courtyards, so that everyone knows that as long as they actively cooperate with the work of the street and abide by the law, the street will never treat them unfairly."

……

As they were talking, they had arrived at their destination. The director looked at Courtyard No. 95 in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

The three aunts at the door saw Director Liu coming and hurried forward to greet him: "Director Liu, how come you have time to come here today? Do you have something good to tell us?"

Director Liu laughed and said, "It is indeed a good thing, but we will have to discuss the details later. By the way, are the three managers here?"

"They are all going to work now!" replied the third aunt.

"Oh, look at my memory. I'm so busy that I can't even remember what day it is today." Director Liu patted his forehead.

"That's right, Director Liu, you are too busy with all kinds of things!" The three aunts echoed.

"Well, please tell the three uncles to come to the street to see me after get off work," Director Liu continued.

"Okay, no problem! But Director Liu, what exactly do you want to talk to the three uncles about? I'll tell them in advance so that they can be prepared." The three aunts asked curiously.

"Isn't this the street preparing to support poor households? Let's start by selecting from the civilized courtyards. The three uncles and I will discuss this." The person who spoke was Yi Zhonghai, an uncle in the courtyard.

"Okay, okay, I'll ask them to go there as soon as possible." The one who responded was the second uncle Liu Haizhong.

"Okay, I'll take care of other things first!"

"Okay, take care!" After watching Liu Mei leave, Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, "Originally, I just wanted to talk to Yi Zhonghai alone about this, but I felt that the target would be too obvious. Why not call the other two gentlemen as well? Maybe two of them can play a role..."

After Liu Mei walked away, several aunts around came forward and asked in unison:

"Auntie, please tell us what good news Director Liu has for coming here? Look how happy you are!"

"Hehehe, this is really a great thing. Just listen to me and I will tell you slowly..."

At the same time, Xu Damao was about to go out when he ran into He Yuzhu, who was wearing a neat suit and looked energetic and handsome.

"Dongxu, are you going to pick up the bride? Why are you dressed so formally?" Xu Damao joked with envy and jealousy on his face.

"Haha, isn't it just to pick up the bride? Look at how handsome I am dressed today!" He Yuzhu deliberately put on a smug look, causing everyone to laugh.

"Oh my, Dongxu is indeed the most handsome guy in our school. He looks so good in his outfit today!" someone echoed.

Aunt Jia was so happy at the moment, "Of course, when Dongxu gets married, we will be a real dual-income family. Who can compare to us?"

"Yes, Aunt Jia, you will be blessed in the future."

……

An old lady standing nearby had a bright smile on her face, but when she heard Jia Zhang's speech, she did not mention a word about Master Dongxu's achievements.

The smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of indifference.

Seeing Jia Zhang being so arrogant just because her son married a city worker and her words full of superiority made the aunt feel chilled.

So she couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Dongxu, hurry over, the bride must be waiting anxiously!"

"Haha...Okay, Ma'am, I'll leave right away!"

Jia Dongxu was also very excited as he rode his bicycle to meet the bride. The bicycle was temporarily borrowed from the street and needed to be returned as soon as possible after use, so time was tight.

Although Jia Dongxu had left, Aunt Jia still did not stop bragging. However, the other aunts in the yard did not refute her as usual today. After all, it was a happy day, so they just turned a deaf ear to her.

"Oh, Aunt Jia, the fire in the kitchen hasn't been put out yet. I have to go back and check to prevent a fire! I'll come over after Dongxu brings the bride back!" After saying this, the second aunt quickly got up and left.

"I'm leaving too. These three children need to change a lot of clothes every day. If I don't wash them quickly, they may not have clean clothes to wear." The third aunt stood up and said that she was leaving too. Seeing this, the other people also made excuses to leave. In a blink of an eye, only the first aunt and Jia Zhang were left in the room.

Jia Zhang knew that no one wanted to stay with her, but because they had a master-disciple relationship, she couldn't get away easily. The two looked at each other for a while, and finally Jia Zhang said helplessly: "He Yida Niang, why don't you go back and rest first!"

Hearing this, the lady's face changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. She sighed and replied, "Okay, then I'll go back and rest. But you know, I have a heart problem... I need more rest." After that, the lady turned back to the house and started to clean up the room.

However, not long after, she heard a "bang" and threw the rag in her hand fiercely on the table. She complained indignantly: "This Jia Zhang and Jia Xudong are so bad! I really can't figure out what Old Yi likes about Jia Xudong? Now the Jia family obviously intends to draw a clear line with our family!"

"No, Jia Xudong will never be able to provide for our retirement..."

"Fourth Master! Fourth Master!" As his subordinates greeted him in unison, the Fourth Master sat at the head of the group with a dignified manner. He looked at his subordinates with sharp eyes, and secretly sighed in his heart: This is the strong capital he has accumulated over many years of wandering in the world - these loyal brothers.

Thinking back to the past, they had worked together for the Southeast Region. Although they still had to take orders from others, the remuneration offered by the other party was so generous that it was tempting. When the fourth master thought of the wealth he had hidden, he could not help but feel a warm current in his heart.

"Brothers, I have called you here today because a new mission has come. The rules remain the same. Those who are interested in taking on this mission, please take a step forward; those who are not interested, please step back. As for the reward, the deposit is 500 yuan. It is up to you to decide how to choose."

As soon as the Fourth Master finished speaking, everyone took a step forward in unison, staring at him with eyes full of desire and expectation.

"Very good! Since you have decided to participate in this operation, let's draw lots according to the number of people. Remember, the old rules remain unchanged. If you are unfortunately arrested, you will bear all the consequences yourself. Don't implicate the elderly and children in your family. I will do my best to take care of them."

"Draw lots!" the crowd shouted in unison, the sound echoing throughout the hall, "Draw lots!"
