The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

He Daqing left the deaf old lady's room. People in the yard were watching him from time to time, both openly and covertly. He Daqing seemed to notice it, but he didn't care at all. He turned around happily and went to the next room.

The next evening, Liu Minghui pushed the cart back to the courtyard. Today was his last day of work this year, and the Chinese New Year was only three days away.

Liu Minghui especially cherishes his current vacation because he vaguely remembers that the New Year holiday will be cancelled in a few years, and then he won’t have such a good time.

"Is Minghui off work?"

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Yan Bugui came up to him and said cheerfully, "Minghui, you went to work today, but you didn't know that our courtyard is very lively."

"Oh, what happened?"

Liu Minghui asked curiously after hearing this.

"hey-hey."

Yan Bugui chuckled and said, "Today, quite a few people from the Street Office came. They stayed in the yard for quite a while before leaving. When they left, they took the deaf old lady with them."

"Did someone report it?"

Liu Minghui wondered if someone in the courtyard was so jealous that they reported the old lady directly.

"No, Director Shen said that someone reported that the old lady was a remnant of the enemy, and that she had so much money that she was secretly developing something, so they took her to investigate."

Wow, Liu Minghui was shocked that there were such talents and thought of this.

"Old Yan, what do you think?"

Liu Minghui took out a cigarette, handed one to Yan Bugui, then lit one for himself. Then he and Yan Bugui squatted at the door and started smoking.

Yan Bugui happily took it, lit it, took a deep breath, and then said, "Well, I don't really believe this. After all, I have lived here for more than 20 years. Although I don't know what the old lady did before, it shouldn't be that."

Yan Bugui is an experienced person. Although he is not very fond of the deaf old lady, he does not think that there is anything wrong with her identity. With his smart mind, he can come up with the same opinion as Liu Minghui after a little thought.

After chatting with Yan Bugui for a while, Liu Minghui went back.

After dinner, someone from the Street Office came and Director Shen asked everyone to come to the Intermediate Court for a meeting.

After hearing this, Liu Minghui also came here. Looking at the deaf old lady with a cane standing next to Director Shen, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with the other party, otherwise she would not have come back now.

The neighbors in the yard also started whispering to each other when they saw this, but no one knew what they were talking about.

After everyone arrived, Director Shen spoke up, "Ahem, I'm here to hold a meeting today mainly because of something that has caused a stir in the entire street over the past two days."

As soon as Director Shen finished speaking, someone asked a question.

"Director Shen, is there really a big box of yellow croaker?"

When these words were spoken, many people's eyes lit up, which was an expression of greed.

"Old Qian, just listen quietly, why are you interrupting?"

Liu Haizhong stood up and scolded the person who had just spoken.

Director Shen stood on the steps. Although he looked somewhat dissatisfied, he still smiled and said, "Yes, I am going to talk about this matter. As for whether it is true or not, you just listen."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone below fell silent, even Liu Haizhong who had just stood up.

Liu Haizhong is a fan of officials, but he is also obsessed with money, and of course he wants to know whether it is true or false.

Yesterday he secretly found Yan Bugui to discuss the matter, but after talking for a long time, the two of them could not come to a conclusion about the truth of the matter. Now that the people from the street office are going to make an announcement, of course he has to listen carefully.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Director Shen also spoke seriously, "I want to explain to everyone here that the report about the deaf old lady is completely false. The deaf old lady's original name was Long Guilan, and she was from the suburbs of Beijing. Because she was beautiful when she was young, she was favored by a family and taken in as a concubine. She has lived in this courtyard for decades."

"So she doesn't have any shameful identity. As for the rumor that Long Guilan owns a large box of yellow croaker, I can tell you that these are all false. These are just rumors made up by someone."

The people below were in an uproar. They never expected that the ancestor that Yi Zhonghai had mentioned before was actually just a lover kept here by someone else.

It's still not as good as that of a concubine. Everyone's eyes changed a lot when they looked at the deaf old lady, and they seemed to look down on her.

The deaf old lady lowered her head and roared in a twisted voice, "It's all He Daqing's fault. He is also responsible for not living a regular life in his old age. What a bastard."

"So that's how it is. Then who posted the big-character poster yesterday?"

"Yeah, this is just a scam. I thought it was something else."

"Quiet."

Director Shen looked at the noisy crowd and shouted, "There is one more thing, that is the person who spread the rumor."

Looking at the quiet crowd, Director Shen said in a stern tone: "It is illegal to spread rumors. If the street office knows who is spreading rumors and causing trouble, they will definitely send that person to jail. I hope that this person can take the initiative and stand up and admit his mistake. Since it is not a wrong fight, he can still be forgiven."

As Director Shen spoke, he was still looking at the people who came to attend the conference today, looking at them one by one.

However, those who have not done it have a clear conscience, while Xu Damao, who spread the rumor, sat at the front with a calm expression, as if he was sure that no one could find out it was him.

"That's right. Think about what happened the night before yesterday. Let's work together to catch this bad guy."

Liu Haizhong also stood up and echoed.

In his opinion, the courtyard was his territory, and the appearance of such an undisciplined person would be a bad thing.

So whether it was Liu Haizhong or Yi Zhonghai and others, they were all eager to catch the other party.

Liu Minghui was in the crowd and saw Xu Damao, who was sitting in front of him and didn't seem nervous at all. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly that Xu Damao had done so many bad things that he had developed a mentality of not being surprised by praise or criticism. If Liu Minghui hadn't watched Xu Damao the whole time to see how he did it, he would have really been deceived by him.

"I report He Daqing."

Just when no one was talking and everyone was suspicious of each other, Jia Zhang, unwilling to be outdone, stood up, pointed at He Daqing and said, "It must have been He Daqing who did it."

"Jia Zhang, please don't accuse a good person. How could I do such a thing?"

When He Daqing was reported by Jia Zhang, he immediately jumped up and said.

He didn't dare to take the blame. Although he didn't know who was responsible, it definitely wasn't him, He Daqing.
