Siheyuan: Starting from the Police

On weekends, Xu Guangfu asked Li Hao to use his connections to get tiles and toilets, and moved them directly to the courtyard. He then went to the thermal power plant to find someone to repair the heating and re-lay the pipes.

At this point, the decoration of Xu Guangfu’s house was finally completed.

Xu Guangfu stood at the door of his house, holding a cigarette in his mouth and looking at the newly renovated house. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the duty room was not as good as his own home.

I went straight to the furniture factory with Li Hao and took the Huanghuali furniture I ordered home. After working with Li Hao for most of the day, we finally had a home-like feel.

I ran to the department store again and bought two large carts of pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, bed sheets, quilts, cigarettes, alcohol, sugar and tea of ​​all kinds of daily necessities. I called two trucks to take them home, and it was dark when I finished putting them away.

The two of them slumped on the stool for a long time before they recovered. They went out to eat and made an appointment to invite old friends to have fun together the next night.

After returning home, Xu Guangfu lay on the bed, watching the time pass quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

After an unsure moment of how long, Xu Guangfu slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, Xu Guangfu got up, washed up, and pushed the door open to see Yi Zhonghai standing at the door, with Jia Dongxu beside him.

Xu Guangfu ignored him, locked the door and was about to push the cart out.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but cough a few times. Xu Guangfu looked at Yi Zhonghai and asked:

"What's wrong, uncle?"

Yi Zhonghai said slowly with a serious face: "Our compound has always been an excellent compound. Doors are not locked at night and no one steals on the road. Why are you locking the door? This will affect the reputation of our compound!"

Jia Dongxu was hesitant to speak. Didn’t he agree to come and plead for mercy for his mother? Why did he start fighting? Could he still plead for mercy?

Jia Dongxu secretly complained in his heart and felt terrible.

It was working hours and there were many people coming and going. When they saw Yi Zhonghai accusing Xu Guangfu, they all watched the fun with joy.

Xu Guangfu was delighted when he heard this. He looked at the beasts around him who were gloating over his misfortune and sneered, "Master, are you okay? Does our compound still have a good reputation? Ask around in the alleys and then talk about this. Also, my lock affects the reputation of the compound. When you brought people to sneak in and pick the lock, didn't you think about the reputation of the compound?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said righteously: "Nonsense! What do you mean by sneaking in and picking the lock? I did it for the old lady! The old lady is the ancestor of our courtyard. I just wanted to make things convenient for her. I was respecting the elderly!"

Xu Guangfu sneered. Yi Zhonghai was indeed a gentleman of moral integrity. He was even flattering himself!

"Haha... that's your ancestor, not mine! She's just an ordinary old lady from the same compound! Also, if you want to be filial to the deaf old lady, you should pay for a toilet for her. Do you think you're right to pick my lock?"

"The old lady has made shoes for the most beautiful people and has made contributions to the country. Isn't she worthy of respect? Xiao Xu, as an elder, I advise you not to be lawless just because you are rich. Respecting the elderly is a traditional virtue. Your mother also respected the old lady. You are still young, so don't go astray!"

"Let's not talk about making shoes for now. When my mother was still alive, who in the courtyard did you treat badly? Now that my mother is gone, you have taken over my house after I left. You, Yi Zhonghai, still have the nerve to criticize me?"

"You call your elders by their names like that? You have no manners at all! Even if I'm wrong, I'm still your elder. How can you talk to your elders like that?"

"Elders? Are you worthy? There are no elders in my family who sneak into houses and pick locks. All my elders are martyrs! You are insulting the martyrs!"

After Xu Guangfu finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from the crowd watching the fun.

Yi Zhonghai felt even more humiliated, his face flushed red, and he pointed at Xu Guangfu with trembling fingers out of anger and was unable to speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Xu Guangfu smiled slightly, ignored Yi Zhonghai, and pushed the cart away.

Jia Dongxu hesitated to speak, looking at Yi Zhonghai who looked suspicious, and finally did not speak. My poor old mother, you should stay in the police station for another day!

Liu Haizhong came out of the courtyard and saw everyone gathered together. He immediately had some unpleasant memories and shouted loudly:

"What are you all doing here? Aren't you going to work? Don't you know you're blocking the road?"

Everyone dispersed, Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai with a dark face and said:

"Old Yi, what's going on?"

Yi Zhonghai pointed at the lock on Xu Guangfu's door and said angrily: "Look for yourself! Isn't this destroying the unity of the compound? This Xu Guangfu, I told him but he didn't repent. Instead, he contradicted me, the uncle. Isn't this destroying the rules of the whole compound? Do we three uncles still have authority?"

Liu Haizhong listened to Yi Zhonghai's words without caring much, but there was a hint of joy in his heart.

Until he heard the last sentence, he suddenly felt something was wrong and nodded repeatedly, "That's right! Everyone doesn't lock the door, why should Xu Guangfu be treated specially! This is destroying unity! It's simply nonsense! We will hold a meeting of the whole institute tonight and criticize this behavior!"

Yi Zhonghai smiled for a moment, then said indignantly, "Okay! I agree with you, Lao Liu!"

"Tell Old Yan tonight and have a meeting!"

After that, the two went out to work.
