The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

"Right, you should be more respectful to the elderly and stop being so impatient. You are going to get married soon."

Seeing this, Yan Bugui couldn't help but start lecturing.

"Third Uncle, you better tell me about the First Uncle quickly."

Liu Minghui quickly spoke up to remind Yan Bugui that it was time to get down to business.

Yan Bugui didn't mind being interrupted and immediately started talking happily.

"This happened more than ten years ago..."

Yan Bugui slowly recounted what happened more than ten years ago.

"At that time, the uncle was not even a seventh-level fitter, but he was considered a mid-level worker in the steel mill. However, the aunt was diagnosed as infertile. Whether it is true or not is not discussed for now, but the story began at that time."

As Yan Bugui told the story, the two also knew why Yi Zhonghai did not adopt the child.

It turned out that Yi Zhonghai, who was in his thirties at the time, was unable to give birth to a child for his wife, an old lady. People who knew about the situation urged him to divorce her and marry another one. However, for some unknown reason, Yi Zhonghai told everyone that he would not divorce or abandon his wife.

Let’s not talk about this for now. Not long after, Yi Zhonghai received a letter from his hometown. It turned out that his relatives could not afford to raise five boys and had to give them away.

I don't know how he got the news that Yi Zhonghai had no children and most likely would not have any in the future, so he wrote to say that he wanted to adopt the child to the couple.

Yi Zhonghai was so happy about this. After all, they were a family. He agreed immediately. Originally, this should have been a happy ending for the story.

However, less than a month after the child was brought home, an old lady from his hometown came crying and demanding to take the child with her, saying how could she give away her grandson. In the end, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to send the child back.

In the end, the two of them were only happy for nothing, and this incident also laid the groundwork for Yi Zhonghai's future behavior.

Yi Zhonghai doesn't think of adopting a child at all now. When he thinks that after raising a child, a so-called biological parent might suddenly appear from somewhere and take the child they have worked so hard to raise with just a few words, that's why Yi Zhonghai is looking for someone to take care of the elderly in the yard.

"You understand all this, right?"

After Yan Bugui finished speaking, he looked at the two of them with a smile.

"So that's it."

After listening to this story, both of them looked thoughtful and sighed about it.

I didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai became such a person because of this incident.

I guess only the old people who have lived in the yard for more than ten or twenty years know the reason. People like Xu Damao's family moved in later, so how could they know the reason?

As they were chatting, they returned to the courtyard, where He Yuzhu was frying a big pot of food. The ingredients were all bought by Yan Bugui and a few aunties at the vegetable market. Of course, Jia Zhang also went with them.

They call it happy supervision. Although it's not paid for by their family, they can't just ignore it.

He Yuzhu cooked a big pot of dishes at noon, and each family just needed to take one portion home. There was no need to set up a table in the yard, which saved a lot of trouble.

In the afternoon, Liu Minghui rushed to the steel rolling mill. He was not supposed to go there today, but Liu Minghui wanted to find out the situation.

"Old Hao, I'm busy."

When he arrived at the Security Department, Liu Minghui greeted Hao Huaian enthusiastically. Hao Huaian was writing something at that time.

"What are you busy with?"

Liu Minghui came over and sat down opposite Hao Huaian without any hesitation, watching him write.

"Hey, didn't you ask for leave? Why are you here in the afternoon?"

Liu Minghui was absent from the meeting this morning, but everyone knew that he had taken leave because of Jia Dongxu.

"I'm not here to understand the situation, am I?"

"What happened last night?"

Liu Minghui had a curious look on his face and wanted to know more about the situation from Hao Huaian.

When Hao Huaian talked about this, his face turned ugly. It turned out that five or six people were arrested last night, but not much stolen money was found when their homes were searched. The money could not be recovered, which made Hao Huaian very upset.

In particular, according to the confession of the suspects, they stole nearly 10,000 yuan worth of materials in total. At the meeting this morning, Director Yang asked their security department to arrest the suspects as soon as possible, mainly to recover the losses.

"It's difficult. The mastermind behind this has never been caught. He must have been keeping an eye on the steel mill and fled overnight when he discovered something was wrong."

Hao Huaian started talking and also told him what happened to Jia Dongxu last night. Liu Minghui was surprised to hear Li Huaide plead for the Jia family.

But then he understood that Li Huaide had taken a fancy to Qin Huairu. Liu Minghui remembered the original story and it seemed that Li Huaide had also looked for Qin Huairu, but he didn't know whether he succeeded or not. On the surface, because of the existence of He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu had never been succeeded by Li Huaide.

But this is just on the surface, who knows what is going on behind the scenes.

"So that's how it is. Yi Zhonghai said this morning that it was because of work."

Liu Minghui shook his head and laughed. Yi Zhonghai was too bold. He was not afraid that he would be exposed one day.

"Bullshit, if the Jia family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hadn't tried to commit suicide, Director Yang wouldn't have agreed. And even if that were the case, the Jia family would have to hand over all of Jia Dongxu's illegal profits before they could arrange for someone to take over."

Hao Huaian revealed to Liu Minghui what had been discussed in the morning meeting. This matter had been agreed upon by most people. After all, if it was not done this way, what would happen if it was discovered later?

If things go wrong, everyone will be criticized, after all, there is suspicion of shielding someone, so after discussion, this is the only way to do it.

Even Li Huaide agreed with this solution.

"Does this incident have a big impact on our steel mill?"

Liu Minghui asked, but on the other hand, you have to know that a report must be submitted. Although the person was caught in the end, the steel mill suffered huge losses, and Director Yang must have been deducted points in the eyes of someone.

After all, the main personnel are all under Director Yang, and the workshop director has been running the business for such a long time in collusion with outsiders. It has to be said that Director Yang must be labeled as a mismanager.

"It's not bad for the security department, after all, we were the ones who actively launched the arrest after we discovered it, but it's hard for Director Yang."

Hao Huaian's words also proved that Liu Minghui was not wrong. There was indeed a lot of influence, but it was mainly due to the relationship between the people in Director Yang's department.

As for logistics, there was no problem at all. As for Liu Minghui, he was even safer. After all, he didn't steal or rob, and he didn't even accept gifts.

"That's good, but I still want to congratulate you. You've made such a big move right after taking office. That's impressive."

After asking the question he wanted to know, Liu Minghui gave Hao Huaian a thumbs up and praised him.

"Don't worry, I'm still confused."

Hao Huaian said with a worried look on his face.
