Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

In fact, most people in the compound didn’t know that the deaf old lady was sick that day, and no one went to the health center.

Today, seeing Yu Li, who is usually very gentle, speaking so harshly and scolding Yi Zhonghai to the point of being a bloody crime, I couldn't help but be shocked: you really can't judge a person by his appearance.

"Zhu Zi's wife, you are so disrespectful to your elders and the manager of the courtyard. You are making irresponsible remarks here. I, I want to criticize your behavior."

"Grandpa, you are the elder, and you have two green onions stuck in your nose, and you are pretending to be an elephant.

What I said was wrong. The old lady was sick that day, why did Zhuzi have to take her to the hospital? You are her old man, you take the benefits, and you step back when doing the work. What's the matter, are you missing limbs, or you are not taking advantage enough. Okay, since you said so, I will make the decision today. You ask the old lady in the backyard to come over, in front of all the residents in the yard, she will transfer the two rooms in the backyard to my family in the future. I will take care of the old lady, and I will never trouble others when I have something to do. "

Yi Zhonghai was stunned. He didn't expect Yu Li to respond like this.

He was really numb and didn't know how to answer. Everyone watched quietly and there was no sound on the field.

Yu Li continued,

"You are not happy, and feel that you have suffered a loss. Uncle, since you have taken over the old lady's house, shouldn't you help out? If you say it's possible that day, it's just a possibility. You happened to be in poor health that day, and the first person you should think of to help out should be your godson. After all, your godson will inherit your property in the future and will also be the beneficiary. Good fellow, you didn't help out yourself, but came directly to my house and asked my Zhuzi to borrow a car from next door, and even sent him to the health center. Do I still have to pay for the medical expenses? Ask yourself, where is your morality, where is your conscience, and where is your fairness? Also, you went to call Jia Dongxu, did Jia Dongxu go? You can't even order your godson around, and you don't criticize him. You are really shameless. My Zhuzi is your long-term worker. He comes whenever you are called. You didn't say that you would set up three tables and accept Zhuzi as your godson."

An auntie in the house heard Yu Li talking about her husband and couldn't say anything back, so she also walked out of the house and said to Yu Li,

"Zhu Zi's wife, my old Yi is older than you anyway. How can a young wife like you be so aggressive? Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation? Who else in the compound has such a powerful wife?"

"Auntie, you also know that Uncle is older than me. Why is it that if you are old and say something wrong, you are not guilty? You can talk nonsense and make rumors and slander. I think your aunt is not a good person. She protects her husband even when he does something wrong. Do you know what your behavior is? You are helping the evil. Everyone, please judge what I said wrong. I asked Uncle to transfer the care of the old lady to my family, but he was not happy. He was willing to take over. Here, he said that we don't respect the elderly and love the young, and eat the best fish and meat. As God is my conscience, we didn't spend the money of Uncle's family, but he slandered us for enjoying pleasure first and suffering later. Uncle, you are really not as good as Uncle No. 2 and Uncle No. 3. Uncle No. 2 is a senior technician and production team leader in the factory. What kind of leader are you?" . As a senior technician, why can't you be a production team leader? I think you are the one who puts pleasure first and hardship later, and the factory leaders have noticed it. Look at Uncle San, a people's teacher, he has higher education than you, and he understands things better than you. How can you be qualified to sit in the position of Uncle San, the manager of this compound and give orders? He just said a few words about hygiene, and the rest is nonsense. I think you should face up to your own shortcomings, take the initiative to give up your position, focus your main energy on yourself, put hardship first and enjoyment later, and our compound will be peaceful in the future. Every time there is a little trouble, we are left here to starve. You are not cold, but we are. You have a high salary and good treatment, and we ordinary comrades still need to rest well and work hard for socialist construction tomorrow. "

At this time, He Yuzhu came into the middle courtyard carrying a net bag containing two lunch boxes, and actually said something very similar to Yu Li's,

"Hey guys, what's wrong? Why are you just sitting here and waiting in the cold? Aren't you afraid of the cold?"

Seeing He Yuzhu coming, Yu Li quickly waved to him to come over. When He Yuzhu arrived, she told her what had just happened. He Yuzhu's originally festive face suddenly turned as cold as ice. He handed the net bag to Yu Li.

"Old dog Yi, go look in the mirror. The older you get, the more you become. You just don't care about your nose. If you try to trip someone up behind their back again, don't blame me for being rude to you. I call you an uncle, so you're a human being. But if I call you Old dog Yi, you're not even a dog, shit. Hold shit meetings every day, and let everyone in the compound be tied up to witness your dirty tricks. Have some shame. Okay, I won't waste my words. I'll save some shame for you today. Everyone go home and do what you need to do."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he went up the steps, took Yu Li's hand, opened the door curtain, and went straight into the house. The people in the meeting soon dispersed, and the small square table was left in the middle courtyard, freezing in the cold wind.

In the main room of the central courtyard, He Yuzhu heated up the chicken he had just brought back over the coal stove that was still burning.

"Wife, eat more. You've only eaten vegetarian food tonight, which is not nutritious enough. By the way, tell me what Old Dog Yi is thinking today."

He Yuzhu heated up the dishes, poured some wine, and ate with Yu Li in the back kitchen, chatting in low voices.

"Zhu Zi, you and Brother Damao should pay attention to Yi Zhonghai from now on. The feud today is deadly."

"Be afraid of him, just him, he is not a big shot. Even though he is a seventh-level fitter in the factory, he is just a worker, how can he be better than me. We don't have to ask him for anything. Xu Damao is even less afraid of him, Damao's grandson is now a cadre, and Lou Xiao'e's father is still a director of the factory. Even Yi Zhonghai can only jump around in this compound. Wife, what you said is really right. I heard it from other people. Their workshop director is suppressing Yi Zhonghai, neither letting him leave the third workshop nor promoting him to be a small leader. He used to compete with the director for the position of workshop director. Others used overt conspiracy to praise Yi Zhonghai highly, and privately let Yi Zhonghai work for the third workshop. If the seventh-level worker doesn't do the most difficult work, who will do it? So he can only be an eighth-level worker at best in his life."

"Zhu Zi, I never thought he could be so bad. I'll have to talk to Xiao E about this in a few days, otherwise I'll feel uneasy."

"Don't worry. Who is Xu Damao? He knew long ago that Yi Zhonghai was not a good person. He was the one who reminded me. As for Lou Xiaoe, I think he had already made it clear. Yu Li, today, Director Yang praised me again, saying that my cooking skills have improved a lot and I am more energetic. Hehehe, here are two lunch boxes of food today as a reward."

"Zhu Zi, you should bring less lunch boxes home in the future. There are a lot of eyes staring at you, especially after what happened today. Yida Ye and Jia Dongxu will also be staring at you. We don't lack leftovers from these lunch boxes now. Be safe and sound."

"Okay, I get it, wife, it's getting late, you should go take a shower and go to bed. You should pay more attention to rest since you are pregnant."

January was truly a new year for He Yuzhu. In the early part of the month, Yu Li gave birth to a son weighing 8.32 catties. His full name was He Jianxin, and his nickname was Dundun.
