Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

"No, I can't lend it to you."

Li Han refused directly.

The young man snorted, “Oh, you have a very stubborn personality.

It just so happens that we brothers are also tough guys. If you don’t give us the car, it will become useless.”

After saying that, the young man waved his hand, and his companion took out a hammer and was about to smash Li Han's bicycle.

The man with the high nose bridge snorted coldly and suddenly jumped up. The moment his toes touched the ground, his other foot suddenly kicked up into the air and he let out a loud cry: "Ha!"

The young man walking in front was immediately knocked to the ground, and the people behind him also fell down due to his impact.

It was as if they were hit by a huge stone hammer in the chest. They were in unbearable pain and fell to the ground with their hands covering their chests.

Seeing his partner defeated instantly, the leader hardened his heart, pulled out a shiny knife and swung it at Li Han.

Chi! The knife pierced the skin, making a shuddering sound.

But the next second, the leader screamed. "Ouch, my hand!"

Li Han grabbed his wrist in a flash, and with a backhand push, he stabbed the knife deep into the palm of his opponent's hand.

"Tell me the truth, was it Yang Weimin who sent you to deal with me, Li Han?"

The six young men were startled.

Li Han was certain without the other party's answer that it was Yang Weimin, whose emotions suddenly exploded, who did this.

"Since you guessed who it was, I might as well tell you something."

"You'd better not set your sights on the woman my friend Yang Weimin loves, otherwise my brothers will not let you go!" Even though his hooked nose was bleeding, his voice was still full of determination.

"What's the name of the woman Yang Weimin likes? Yu Haitang?" Li Han asked.

"Since you know her name, you'd better restrain yourself."

"Let's go!" The hook-nosed man immediately struggled to get up and tried to leave.

"Wait, go back and tell Yang Weimin that he has been taken advantage of."

"I don't like Yu Haitang at all. I've never even met her." After saying that, Li Han rode away on his bike. He had already figured it out. This matter must be Xu Damao's doing behind the scenes.

After all, Yang Weimin and Yu Haitang were both in the Propaganda Department, and they had some interactions.

The unexplained increase in emotions pointed to the personal emotional entanglement between the two, which made Li Han determine that Xu Damao was the biggest suspect.

Therefore, Hook Nose was sent to reveal the truth.

As a result, Yang Weimin would certainly vent his anger on Xu Damao, and their problems would escalate.

……

At this time, Yi Zhonghai, Zhuzi, Qin Huairu and others were on their way home.

"Zhu Zi, how is the improvement of the cafeteria going?" Yi Zhonghai asked with concern.

Sha Zhu replied: "We inspected it once today, and it almost drove the kitchen staff crazy." Then he turned to Qin Huairu and said with a serious expression: "As for the deduction of your salary, I don't think it will happen."

Qin Huairu was full of anticipation. There were only a few days left before the subsidy was distributed, and she was counting on Zhuzi to help her through the difficult times.

"It's over, it's over. This month's work has been in vain! It's all because of that idiot Li Han.

If it weren't for him, things wouldn't have gotten to this point." Sha Zhu said angrily.

"Boss, since you know that Li Han is under your control, can you teach him a lesson in your workshop?" Regarding Li Han, Yi Zhonghai was unwilling in his heart but remained calm on the surface.

He thought of the unexpected defeat he had experienced in front of Li Han today, and he felt unhappy, but he wanted to show firmness and confidence at this moment.

“Don’t worry, I’ll make him suffer sooner or later.

The most important thing right now is to find Bang Geng first. Huairu, let's go to the police station now to ask when Bang Geng will be released from prison."

“Excellent, Boss.

I have the same idea." Qin Huairu heard this with full of expectations.

The group went to the police station, but after learning that the investigation was still in the review stage, Qin Huairu suddenly became nervous:

"Police comrades, we agreed to change the sentence to imprisonment, why do you want to review it again?"

After hearing the explanation that it was due to important physical evidence involved in the case and that it was necessary to ensure that all relevant parties were held accountable, Qin Huairu could hardly stand.

According to the police, Banggeng will probably be detained for at least five months.

Qin Huairu's heart was broken like glass, unable to bear such a blow:

"Li Han, are you trying to kill me?!" For a moment, she burst into tears.

"Li Han is such a bastard. He has no mercy at all. Does he want to cut off all chances of survival for Bang Geng? If I had known this would happen, I should have sealed the chimney completely and burned him to death!" Sha Zhu looked at her with heartache and regret.

Yi Zhonghai frowned, knowing full well that he had not expected Li Han to have such a trick up his sleeve.

Even though all my pleas were in vain, it seemed that there was nothing I could do now, so I could not help but secretly make a fuss:

"I will never allow something like this to remain in our yard!" Rage burned deep in his cold eyes.

At first, he thought Li Han was just a difficult person and planned to teach him a lesson.

Only now did he realize that Li Han was very capable and that even he, the patriarch, was not enough to restrain him.

If such a person stays in this yard, it might ruin the long-term plan of the deaf woman.

...

"Ding, Qin Huairu's mood value increased by 800."

"Ding, get Shazhu's emotional value +800."

"Ding, Yi Zhonghai's emotional value increased by +800."

After dealing with the group of young people, Li Han returned to the compound.

The sudden system message surprised him greatly; the emotional value of 800 per person was really unusual.

It seems that they have learned about the misfortune that happened to Mu Zhuang, and their resentment towards me has accumulated to eight hundred. "Will I, Li Han, be so easy to bully?" He thought with a sneer in his heart.

And Xu Damao’s problem today has not been resolved yet.

He prepared dinner quickly, and the aroma was still wafting in the air.

At this time, Xu Damao had not returned home yet.

Lou Xiao'e couldn't resist the smell and came to Li Han's house again, but this time she was holding a bottle of wine, Xifeng Liquor.

"Li Han, why does your food smell so good?"

"Hey, fried eggs with Chinese toon, pork liver and cabbage, and a stewed meat. This meal is as rich as the Chinese New Year!" Li Han said with a smile, "Sister E, you're welcome. I've brought the wine. Let's start now."

Lou Xiao'e didn't say much and found a stool to wait for dinner.

Li Han brought in white flour buns and handed over bowls and chopsticks. "Sister E, didn't Damao bring this bottle of Xifeng wine?"

"No, I bought it just for you."

"That's great. I don't want Xu Damao's things." Lou Xiao'e understood that Li Han and Xu Damao were not on good terms. The last time she asked Xu Damao to send dog meat to Li Han, he refused.

Lou Xiao'e, who knew Li Han well, didn't mind. As long as she had a friendly relationship with Li Han, it was enough.

"I'll fill your glass." She didn't drink herself, but only poured wine for Li Han, acting like a fulfilling wife.

Then, Li Han casually mentioned, "I heard that Xu Damao always complained about your infertility. Why do I feel that he has a problem?"

This casual talk made Lou Xiao'e's eyes widen and asked, "Do you really think that's the case? I'm strong and healthy, so I can definitely give birth to a son."

Hearing the praise, Lou Xiao'e almost burst into tears. "Li Han, except for you and the mute woman, I really don't like anyone else in this courtyard."

Li Han did not comment. "Sister E, aren't you doing well?" He then suggested, "Why not ask Xu Damao to do a health check? If there is really a problem, don't blame him for affecting your reputation."

Lou Xiao'e was very grateful, "Thank you, Li Han."

After eating and drinking, Lou Xiao'e left with a worry in her mind. "I want to see what will happen to Xu Damao in the end."

Li Han's eyes were sharp. He drank the whole cup in one breath, with determination hidden in the depths of his eyes.

"Lily, I've already washed the clothes from the past two days, can you come in?"

While Li Han was sipping a drink and enjoying a snack, Yu Li's inquiring voice came from outside the door.

"Just come in."

"Yeah." Yu Li answered, opened the door and walked in, seeing Li Han having a meal.

“Eating?”

"Well, have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat together?"

“Is that okay?”

Yu Li's eyes fell on the stewed radish with meat, pork liver and cabbage on the table, and her mouth instantly watered. Although the Yan family had radish and cabbage in their meals recently, they were all stir-fried without meat.

The food at Li Han's house touched her heart.

"What's wrong? Come and sit down." Li Han said indifferently. He had no aversion to Li, not to mention that she had performed quite well last time.

Chapter 64 Some Deserve Rewards

Yu Li folded the washed clothes neatly and then took the dishes.

Li Han picked up a piece of stewed meat and put it in her bowl. "Eat more. You seem to have lost some weight. It would be better if you were fuller." Yu Li blushed slightly. She was not sure which part of her body shape she was not satisfied with.

Yu Li did not hesitate to praise Li Han's five-star cooking skills. Her expression of enjoying the food made the stew seem so delicious that it was enough to swallow her tongue.

After finishing the meal, Yu Li took the initiative to clean up the dishes and asked with concern: "Do you need to wash the dirty clothes today?"

By staying focused, Yu Li will not forget the most important things.

Facing Yu Li's questioning look, Li Han denied: "No, this dress can still be worn." Then he asked her half-jokingly: "If you need to change it, do you want me to change it?" His eyes were fixed on Yu Li, with a hint of teasing.

Yu Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Her cheeks flushed, as if her ears were reflected in the light.

After Yu Li understood what he said, Li Han took a deep breath and looked at the outside world through the window - the lights in the old lady's house had been turned off long ago, and the warm yellow light of foot washing water was still visible through the crack of Liu Shizhong's door. Not far away, the lights in Xu Damao's house could be heard emitting the sound of quarreling.

Thirty minutes later...

With a gurgle, Yu Li glanced at Li Han. She never expected that she could enjoy such delicious food in this home today.

Li Han came to the cupboard, took out a bar of soap and handed it to her, "This is pretty good, it's especially good for the skin."

The soap was smooth and white, and it was a scarce item that required a certificate to purchase, which made Yu Li's eyes light up.

Yu Li took it and put it close to her nose, intoxicated by the aroma.

This was Li Han's clever use of the strategy of "giving soap after hitting a stick" or "giving a candy after a slap" to make Yu Li like him even more.

...Atrium...

"Auntie Qin, Banggen has been sentenced, what should I do?" Qin Huairu burst into tears and still couldn't calm down even after returning to the yard.

Along the way, they discussed the worst possible sentence Banggen could face, and she nearly collapsed, if not for the pillar that supported her.

Even Yi Zhonghai was at a loss. "The only way out now is to get a letter of forgiveness from Li Han," he analyzed, but then sighed, "However, this may not help."

Jia Zhang also heard the news, her face was filled with hatred as if painted with ink, "It's all Li Han's fault that day! I'm going to make a scene at his house. If he doesn't give Banggen a letter of forgiveness, I'm going to stay at his house!" Her anger and unwillingness were as fierce as a storm.

Yi Zhonghai quickly advised: "Old sister, acting impulsively will only escalate the situation and lead to the police being called." Hearing this, Jia Zhang fell heavily to the ground, sobbing, "Alas, I have a miserable fate. Old Jia passed away, Dongxu died young, and my only hope is Bang Gen.

Does this Li want to end the Jia family's lineage?"

"Sister-in-law, crying is useless." Yi Zhonghai's tone revealed impatience. He knew that comfort was ineffective.

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang were both shocked when they heard this. At this time, Zhuzi, who had been paying attention to the developments in the backyard, said, "Don't cry, sister-in-law. I think I should go ask Li Han. Maybe he will give us a letter of forgiveness?" Zhuzi volunteered.

"Zhu Zi, will Li Han really listen to you? You don't understand his heart." Jia Zhang looked at her husband in confusion.

At this time, Zhuzi's eyes stayed on Yu Li who came back from the backyard. "Hey, Grandma Yan's daughter-in-law has been going to the backyard these days. What's going on?"

"Master Yi, please tell me quickly! As long as you can convince Li Han to write a letter of forgiveness, I will agree to any conditions." Qin Huairu was on the verge of despair at this time and wanted to try everything.

"We can plan it like this..." Yi Zhonghai slowly expressed his thoughts.

The general plan was to let Qin Huairu find an opportunity to get close to Li Han and falsely accuse him of saying something rude, while others would use the opportunity to subdue him and hint that they would call the police.

This was used as a threat in exchange for a letter of forgiveness.

"Master Yi, I think it's worth a try." Qin Huairu was the first to agree.

Jia Zhang curled her lips but did not say anything. She was extremely disgusted with Qin Huairu's way of exchanging her body and was worried that Qin Huairu would destroy the good reputation of her deceased son.

Dai Zhu thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement. "Qin Huairu, I remind you, don't take it seriously, otherwise I will not care about you." Jia Zhang warned.

"Mom, how can I pretend that the relationship between Li Han and I is like that?" Qin Huairu looked innocent.

"Then let's settle this matter, and we'll discuss the specific operational details in detail.

It must be foolproof. " Yi Zhonghai made up his mind firmly.

-

Two days later, it was the monthly payday for the Red Star Steel Plant.

Workers go to the pre-assigned finance office to collect their wages according to their departments, workshops and work groups.

A factory this large with 10,000 employees would have several finance departments.

There were queues in front of every office.

"Li Han from workshop one, come over here and get your money." Sister Chen, the accountant who had just received soap from Li Han a few days ago, called out.

"Please count carefully, young man." Accountant Chen handed him the salary with a smile.

"Got it, thank you Sister Chen." Li Han took it and asked, "Sister Chen, can I come over the day after tomorrow to ask about accounting matters?"

"Sure, if the young master is interested, of course it's no problem." The accountant remembered that the soap he gave was very rare, probably a product from the military store.

It would be good if Li Han was willing to contact me.

After receiving the junior apprentice salary of 18.5 yuan, Li Han put it in his pocket.

He felt that such a small amount of money was not worth it.

I just spent 170 yuan to buy a bicycle last weekend. It will take me half a year to earn enough money.

After all, it was my father's pension, Li Han thought. "It seems I need to make more money. Living on my father's pension always makes me feel a little dependent on others."

By next week he will be promoted to junior worker with a monthly salary of 41 yuan.

But compared with previous subsidies, the increase is not large.

Given his usual extravagant nature, he would have to think of more ways to increase his income.

After work.

Li Han rode his bicycle directly to Dongzhimen Grain Store.

There is always a crowd here on payday every month, and many residents ask their relatives and friends to help them queue up with food coupons early in the morning.

Once they get their salary, they come here quickly to buy food.
