Siheyuan: The Cellar

After listening to Kong Zhiyuan's explanation, Yang Zaizai slapped him on the back of the head without saying a word.

"You are not doing your job all day long. What's the matter? Are you collecting protection money?"

As he spoke, Yang Zaizai glanced coldly at the group of hooligans not far away.

When the group of people saw this, they were shocked. Even Mr. Kong, who was invincible in Dongzhimen, didn't dare to fight back.

How powerful must this woman be, a tigress? Don't mess with her. Don't mess with her.

Under Yang Zaizai's gaze, they all shrank their heads and became quails.

“I didn’t….”

Yang Zaizai's sudden change really took Chen Guoliang by surprise.

No? Where's the promised Bai Yueguang? Why did you bring your own hands?

Yang Zaizai, who was teaching his younger brother a lesson, naturally had no idea what Chen Guoliang was thinking.

Or rather, even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

After confirming that Kong Zhiyuan had indeed never collected protection money, Yang Zaizai also breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, he would have to go back and tell his father about this.

A kid from a big compound actually brought some thugs out to collect protection money. It would be embarrassing if this were made public.

But now! As long as we apologize to the victim, the matter will be over.

As for this kid Kong Zhiyuan, he definitely can't think of going out to play recently.

Thinking of this, Yang Zaizai felt as if something was not right.

It seems that Chen Guoliang is not the victim, but the perpetrator.

Hey, what's the big deal? I got beaten up by others and had to apologize to them.

This kid Kong Zhiyuan is really embarrassing!

"Well, classmate Chen Guoliang, I'm sorry. It was my brother who was wrong in what happened today. Here, I apologize to you on behalf of my brother. I hope you can forgive me."

As he spoke, Yang Zaizai bowed solemnly to Chen Guoliang.

He looked up and found Kong Zhiyuan standing there with his neck stiff and head held high, unmoved. Yang Zaizai was immediately furious.

Another slap on the back of the head.

Chen Guoliang felt a toothache when he saw this.

He now seriously suspected that the reason why this spirited young man named Kong Zhiyuan was so stunned was because he was completely overwhelmed by the white moonlight + red roses in front of him.

This is fucking painful just looking at it.

"I'm sorry, Chen Guoliang, I was wrong."

It was obvious that Kong Zhiyuan became much more obedient after being slapped. He bowed 90 degrees to Chen Guoliang.

Chen Guoliang was naturally flattered by this.

After all, this gift is not small. I can't bear it, I can't bear it at all.

Chen Guoliang hurried forward and supported Kong Zhiyuan. He smiled and said, "Oh, it's not a big deal. Children are still young, isn't it normal for them to be playful? It's okay, just be careful next time."

After hearing what Chen Guoliang said, Yang Zaizai and his group, as well as the gang of hooligans not far away, couldn't help but twitch their lips.

Damn, you really know how to take advantage of others. If we hadn't asked around and found out that you were fifteen years old, I would have almost believed you.

Although Yang Zaizai and his group didn't know Chen Guoliang's background, judging from his childish appearance, he couldn't be over 16 years old.

How could he have the nerve to say such pedantic words?

Kong Zhiyuan was even more angry. If it weren't for the big sister suppressing me and if I couldn't beat you, I would definitely beat you to death today, you shameless thing.

After another awkward conversation, Yang Zaizai and others said goodbye to Chen Guoliang and left.

Looking at the backs of the group of people leaving, Chen Guoliang couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that they are all children of high-ranking officials!

Does this count as getting to know each other? Although the process of getting to know each other was not very pleasant.

Chen Guoliang shrugged helplessly.

If you are in a different circle, you don’t have to force yourself to fit in. Just let it be.

Don't try too hard to fit into some circles. Even if you squeeze in, you won't be able to play with others and will eventually be ostracized by people in the circle.

Or it will become a relationship between a rich young master and his loyal lackey, which is both despicable and useless.

Only those who share the same spirit can be called friends.

The different types of compounds seem to be a natural pyramid.

The top of the pyramid is naturally the military and scientific institutions. Generally, people in these institutions play by themselves and rarely interact with others.

There are many reasons, such as safety and natural belonging.

Below are the various large factories and the staff courtyards of units, such as supply and marketing cooperatives, cinemas, state-owned restaurants, etc. Of course, the courtyard here may not be a large courtyard at all, but a series of tube buildings.

The people here will play with the people at the next level, but they naturally have a certain psychological advantage in their mentality.

As for the reason...................................

The courtyard house where Chen Guoliang lived should logically be classified as the staff compound of a large state-owned factory.

Because before the public-private partnership regulations were introduced in the first half of this year, the steel mill had already been donated by the clever Lou family one year in advance.

However, because he was previously a private factory, the people living in their yard were not pure. For example, Chen Guoliang's own home was his own private property, and his family members did not work in the steel mill.

Another example is the deaf old lady, who is similar to Chen Guoliang's family, and is also his own private property. This should be the main reason why Yi Zhonghai agreed to help her in her old age.

But he never expected that in the end, the old lady would leave the house to Sha Zhu, resulting in all his efforts being in vain.

Further down is the so-called compound. The people here are more complicated, and there are all kinds of people doing all kinds of things.

For example, there are craftsmen who can cook or repair bicycles, or there are people with no money, no skills, and no money who simply rely on their ancestral inheritance to live a life of idleness and waiting to die.

Of course, this is only the bottom of the contempt chain between courtyards, and it is far from the bottom of the social contempt chain.

After all, no matter how big the compound is, he is still in the city. Psychologically, he has a natural advantage.

If you extend this further, you will naturally look down on the country people.

Just like how Jia Zhang always looked down on Qin Huairu as a country girl.

In fact, Jia Zhang herself was actually a country girl - an old pious woman.

And Qinhuairu’s mother’s home is actually not far away, after all, it is in Yuyang.

In the future, that place is also the main urban area, right? Although this generation may not be able to enjoy the benefits of the big red circle, but the next generation can always enjoy it, right?

Moreover, not to mention the future, just now, because it is under the management of the Four Nine City, even if it is a country, it can still look down on others.

After all, for the people of Huating in later generations, everything except Huating is the countryside. The main point is that all beings are equal.

After all this contempt, who will be the victim in the end?

It’s hard to say?

All men are born equal, yet they are everywhere in chains.

*****************

Of course, at the top of this chain are definitely our workers and farmers. (^_?)☆

But later on, the workers lost their factories and became laid-off workers.

Later, the farmers lost their land and became tenants!
