Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

Let's turn the scene back to the steel mill. After Yi Zhonghai was taken away, the emotions of the workers in Workshop 3 exploded. No one was in the mood to work and started talking in groups of three or five.

"What do you think those Zhongshan suits are for? Why did they take Lao Yi away right after they came in? And the workshop director is so cooperative? Are these people more powerful than the security department?"

"What's the Security Department? Didn't you see that those people are all wearing woolen Zhongshan suits, the same as the factory director Yang Limin wears? They must be from higher-ups, otherwise the workshop director wouldn't be so cooperative."

"Who cares what department he's in? The most important thing now is to find out what Old Yi has done wrong. Jia Dongxu didn't come to work today. Did the master and apprentice break the law?"

"Hey, Jia Dongxu, I heard that the boy was caught red-handed by the security department when he was stealing something in the factory last night. I heard that he is still in the detention room."

"How do you know it?"

"I heard from Xiao Lu from Workshop 2 that Wang Wu from their workshop was also arrested. He seems to be the mastermind. I guess he will be executed if he is not executed."

"I never thought that Jia Dongxu, who is usually so honest, could do such a thing..."

As they were chatting, an old lady came to the workshop door. It was none other than Jia Zhang.

The old woman looked around at the door but didn't see Yi Zhonghai. Finally, a team leader in the workshop saw her, walked over and asked.

"This...auntie?

Who are you looking for?

Seeing that the team leader was tall and strong, Jia Zhang did not dare to show her temper.

"I'm looking for Yi Zhonghai. Is he in this workshop?"

When the team leader heard that they were looking for Lao Yi, he regretted talking to this old woman. Yi Zhonghai had been arrested and they didn't know why. He didn't want to get himself into trouble.

He asked Jia Zhang to wait at the door for a while, and then he found the workshop director, told him that someone was looking for Lao Yi at the door, and then he left.

He could ignore it, but the workshop director couldn't. He had been in an excited state ever since Old Yi was arrested. Normally, Yi Zhonghai looked down on him everywhere, taking advantage of the fact that he was a seventh-level fitter. Now that Old Yi was arrested, he was very happy.

He quickly walked to the door of the workshop and saw that Jia Zhang's face was full of flesh, and he was looking for Yi Zhonghai. His first impression was that the other party was not a good person.

"Yi Zhonghai was taken away. Don't ask me what it was because I still want to know.

If you are anxious to find him, go back to his wife. I can't do anything else for you."

When Jia Zhang heard that Yi Zhonghai had also been arrested, she was a little at a loss. The two pillars of the Jia family, Old Yi and Young Jia, were arrested on the same day, which made her feel like the sky was falling.

She returned to the security office again, but this time she couldn't even get through the door. All the gamblers had been taken back by their families, so she had no chance of getting in.

Finally, she had no choice but to return to the courtyard. She wanted to find an old lady to ask if she knew what happened between Lao Yi and Jia Dongxu.

But based on her reputation, not to mention that the old lady didn't know, even if she knew, she wouldn't tell her. The deaf old lady just ignored this old hag. This Dinghaishenzhen became a little suspicious when he heard that Yi Zhonghai was taken away. After all, old Yi knew too much.

No one expected that Lao Yi would come back in the evening, and after he came back he went to the deaf old lady's house.

"Old lady, I might be being targeted..."

Old Yi did not hide anything from the old lady and told her everything that had happened since he started looking for the pockmarked man. The most important thing was that after he was taken away today, he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis around those people in Zhongshan suits.

The old lady thought for a while and said.

"Stop all non-work related activities for a while and focus on your work.

After the transfer notice of the steel rolling mill comes out next year, I will arrange for someone to help you take the Level 8 exam as soon as those Level 8 workers leave. Once you have the Level certificate, you will be a technical expert in the steel rolling mill no matter what, so you will be basically safe.

No one would have thought that an eighth-level fitter would have other thoughts."

Although Yi Zhonghai was very resentful of the deaf old lady in his heart, if she had not ordered him to kill Jia Dongxu, he would not have had so many troubles. However, when he saw that his efforts were finally rewarded, he said nothing more.

He was thinking that once he passed the eighth level of work, that would be the time for him and the old lady to switch positions. At that time, he would be at the top of the workers and would no longer need to look at anyone's opinion.

As the two were chatting, people who were getting off work at the steel mill returned to the yard.

Liu Haizhong had been holding it in for the entire afternoon and finally arrived home. As soon as he entered the yard, he spoke to Yan Jiecheng who was behind him.

"Jie Cheng, go inform your father and call a meeting of the entire hospital immediately. Since Lao Yi has been taken away, he must have committed a crime. Such a person is not worthy of being a master anymore."

After saying this, he looked at Sha Zhu again. He wanted to ask Sha Zhu to notify the Intermediate Court, but Sha Zhu didn't even look at him and went straight home.

Liu Haizhong was very angry, but when he thought about his eldest son's wedding and inevitably having to invite this chef, he had to bear it for the time being.

When Zhao Shanhe returned to the yard, Guangqi was already waiting at the door.

"Shanhe, my dad said to call a meeting of the whole hospital right away. It's not too cold now, otherwise no one can stand it if we wait until after 7 o'clock."

The coldest weather in Beijing at the end of December is no exaggeration. Although it is not as cold as Heilongjiang Province, it is not much better than in 12.

Zhao Shanhe also knew that it must be because of Yi Zhonghai being taken away. This incident had already caused a sensation in the steel mill. The severity of a seventh-level worker's crime was completely different from that of a first-level worker. This was also the first time that such a senior worker was taken away from the steel mill.

Although Yang Limin had tried his best to conceal the incident, there were more than 10,000 people in the steel mill. How many mouths could he shut? It would take less than three days for the news to spread throughout the city.

After dealing with Liu Guangqi, Zhao Shanhe went back home first. Seeing Chen Xueru and Hou Kui were there, he spoke to them.

"You two don't need to go to the meeting. Yi Zhonghai was taken away by a certain department in the factory today. Old Liu probably wants to usurp the throne. There's no point in listening to him nagging in such a cold weather. I'll just go and take a look myself."

Chen Xueru and Hou Kui didn't want to go in the first place. Standing in the yard in such a cold weather would be a pain for anyone who went. As for why they didn't sit down, all they could say was "haha". Sitting on a bench outdoors in winter is really no different from sitting in a pile of snow. The longer you sit, the colder it gets.

When Zhao Shanhe arrived at the Central Courtyard, the meeting had already begun. Liu Haizhong did not move the eight-immortal table. The main reason was that Sha Zhu did not help. Only a fool would try to move the table.

“Dear residents, Old Yi always favors the Jia family on weekdays. For the sake of unity in the compound, I, the second uncle, always tolerate him a little, with the goal of getting the advanced compound sign in the compound.

But today I can't bear it anymore. Some of you know it and some of you don't, but Lao Yi has committed a crime.

So many people in Workshop 3 witnessed it with their own eyes, so I, Old Liu, am not making this up.

If Lao Yi makes a mistake, won’t our advanced compound be gone?

So the main purpose of holding this meeting today is to remove Yi Zhonghai and let me, the second uncle, take his place, so that I can communicate with the street more easily. Don't let Old Yi, a bad apple, ruin the reputation of our compound."
