Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

"This person is so morally corrupt, he should be kicked out of the yard. No, we should call the police directly!" he demanded angrily.

When Mr. Chen heard Yi Zhonghai express his moral judgment again, he thought that in this small courtyard, this was not the worst situation, but just some conspiracy behind the scenes.

Neighbors often have unpleasantness or even lose their temper over trivial matters.

As long as it is not related to evil things like violence and violence, people tend to choose to stand idly by.

Acts like throwing dirty water may seem harmless when the ground freezes quickly in winter, but they may also be the wishful thinking of some people with ulterior motives.

But in any case, compared with other courtyards, the Siheyuan is a relatively peaceful place.

There is less surface fighting, and residents are more inclined to use covert means to damage reputation rather than open confrontation.

"Sha Zhu, have you done too many bad things?" Xu Damao's impatience came to the fore again. "What nonsense! It's you, the bastard, who has been doing all the bad things day after day! What I'm suspicious of is your behavior last night!" Sha Zhu was furious and was about to explode, but he had to suppress his anger when he saw the look in Secretary Wu's eyes.

Seeing Sha Zhu was silent, Xu Damao seemed to feel more accomplished: "I can't do such a wicked thing.

But some people... How many times have they done this? They always stare at other people's wives and drool... It's really annoying!" Sha Zhu was so angry that his hair stood up straight, his face was hideous, and his emotions were about to get out of control.

"Sha Zhu! Come and help, carry the old lady out! Everyone is here!" Sensing the dangerous signs that the two were about to fight again, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly assigned Sha Zhu a job to prevent the situation from getting worse.

Xu Damao stopped talking because everyone around him, especially the fierce Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi, and the rude Bang Geng were staring at him and would not allow him to continue.

Liu Haizhong also rushed over, "Old Yi, have you offended someone again?" Their years of partnership made him accustomed to Yi Zhongzhong's habit of walking and standing by the sea.

Yi Zhonghai retorted: "Stop joking, who would I offend?" It was obvious that he had a lot of doubts in his heart.

“Not necessarily. You may have good skills over the years, but promotion and wealth seem to have nothing to do with you.

It's different now. Although my technical level is only slightly inferior to yours, I still have an official title. "Team Leader Liu is arrogant in the yard now. He feels that he has the right to discipline everyone except Officer Wu.

After hearing the team leader's words, Yi Zhonghai felt as if he was bitten by a snake. He wondered how he had made enemies without realizing it?

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was unmoved by his attitude towards the team leader, Liu Haizhong turned to the crowd and noticed that brothers Liu Guangming and Liu Guangfu were standing in front. He walked up and kicked them away, "Don't get in the way, get out of the way!"

"Yes, team leader!" Recently, the brothers Liu Guangming and Liu Guangfu discovered that it was useless to cry and complain after being beaten in the past. Now, as long as they call out "team leader", they will not be beaten again.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai was thinking, is this really revenge for him? He should be careful in the future.

"Get out of the way, are you blind?" Xu Damao had just been chatting with his friend when he suddenly felt a headache. It turned out that Sha Zhu had slapped him in the face.

This Sha Zhu carried the deaf-mute old lady over here, with a ruthless determination in his heart, and he would never allow himself to be bullied.

Having just been insulted by Xu Damao, Sha Zhu certainly would not give up. "You stupid cook! I..." Xu Damao was extremely angry and wanted to fight back, but looking at his own physique, he obviously couldn't beat Sha Zhu, not to mention the deaf-mute old lady was present. If he was hit by her cane, he would be in big trouble.

When Officer Wu saw that everyone had gathered, he stood outside Sha Zhu's house in the middle courtyard and said, "Everyone knows what happened this morning, but some people may not know..."

He reiterated: "We have not yet found the culprit who dumped dirty water at the door of the deaf-mute old lady's house last night.

How immoral it is to treat a 70-year-old man like this. "

If such behavior spreads, it will have a very bad impact on the courtyard, not to mention the spiritual civilization of the courtyard.

He continued: “I will investigate this thoroughly until the culprit is found.

Serious cases could be criminalized! If any neighbors know any information, please let me know. "

Although Officer Wu said a lot, Mr. Chen felt that the matter might end up in nothing.

Because in this compound, not to mention the deaf-mute old lady herself, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu, no one else seemed to be too concerned about this matter.

"If the villain who dared to do this falls into my hands, I will break one of his legs!" After hearing what Wu Keyuan said, Sha Zhu was furious and tried to use this to prove his own weight.

Mr. Chen watched silently. He looked at every corner of the yard, hoping to find a clue, but in the end he had no idea.

This incident is becoming increasingly confusing. If it is not solved today, it may become even more difficult to unravel the mystery in the future.

Thus, amid Sha Zhu's curses, the crowd's confusion slowly subsided.

At this time, Yan Bugui walked up to Mr. Chen and asked, "Xiao Chen, do you have any clues?" Mr. Chen shook his head, obviously finding nothing.

Then he asked, "Master Yan, the old lady is usually in the courtyard. Does Yi Zhonghai and them have any grudges with anyone?" Mr. Chen asked curiously, hoping to get some clues from Yan Bugui.

“I don’t know, I’ve already asked around.

The deaf-mute old lady rarely goes out, she just basks in the sun outside her house, or goes to Yi Zhonghai or Sha Zhu's place. "Yan Bugui answered truthfully.

Mr. Chen frowned and thought, "This is strange. Could it be that Yi Zhonghai or Sha Zhu offended someone? It's unlikely to be the old lady's own problem." This question made people more and more confused.

However, Yan Bugui said solemnly, "You never know. If something happens, those two people will be the victims." There is no answer to this question, but the question itself may become a new suspense.

Speaking of Brother Zhu, I might have suspected Xu Damao before, but we both drank too much last night, and he was almost drunk to the point of passing out. It was impossible for him and I to go out and cause trouble, and Lou Xiaoe knew this best. "Chen Sheng said.

"Indeed, I once suspected Xu Damao. When it comes to who is most likely to pull a prank in the courtyard, he is the first candidate, and Sha Zhu is second." Yan Fugui immediately seconded.

I thought to myself: Xu Damao hasn't done anything wrong recently. Even if he has, it's just that he is at odds with Sha Zhu.

But the bad things that really need to be investigated are usually done by Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai.

But he does have a bad reputation, and this bad reputation was imposed on him by everyone.

Since we can't find out, let's just leave it at that. Most of the people here can't be completely clean anyway.

The incident of splashing water at the old lady's door was gradually forgotten. Only Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai paid attention to it for several days but they failed to find the culprit.

Others seemed to have forgotten the matter long ago and thought it was insignificant.

Mr. Chen was full of doubts and suspected that Liu Haiyang and Liu Haifu did it, because he later noticed that when Liu Haizhong was teaching the two brothers a lesson, the old mute woman seemed to be adding fuel to the fire and never stopped him.

However, these speculations are all for the future.

One day, Chen was strolling back home and passing through the front yard when he came across a verbal argument in Yan's house:

"What have you been doing recently? It's time to pay!" Yan Fugui asked dissatisfiedly.

"Isn't it time yet? And my salary hasn't been paid yet." Yan Jiecheng retorted.

"Don't talk nonsense, just give me your salary immediately and that's it.

I found you a temporary worker with great difficulty!" Yan Fugui said righteously.

"I understand. It's a big amount. My salary is not much to begin with. If I give it to you, I won't have much left." Yan Jiecheng agreed reluctantly, but with dissatisfaction.

Chen Sheng, who was far away, couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth when he heard this argument, wondering if Yan Jiecheng was too easy to fool.

In recent years, recruitment advertisements have been everywhere. Although regular employees are limited, temporary workers are commonplace, and even some stores' permanent employees have been idle.

He heard that even stores were recruiting temporary employees, as if the manpower supply was saturated and they were just responding to policy requirements.

There are many people who have difficulty finding a job nowadays. How can we let everyone do nothing? That would make the problem even more serious.

But as for his own purchasing department, Mr. Chen knew that there was no shortage of staff. There was not much work to begin with, so adding more staff would be redundant. Where would the extra money come from?

He heard that the warehouse, canteen and logistics departments were recruiting temporary laborers to do manual work.

"Xiao Chen, what are you doing? Did you just come back?" Seeing that Chen was about to go deeper into the courtyard, Yan Jiecheng leaned out of the house and asked.

“Oh, I was just watching them play cards in the alley outside the door.” Chen Shengchang replied.

"Are you still interested in that?" Yan Jiecheng seemed surprised.

"I don't know how to play, I just want to join in the fun." Mr. Chen explained.

"I have a small question. Is the grocery store hiring temporary workers?" Yan Jiecheng asked quietly.

“Yes, of course we are recruiting.” Mr. Chen replied directly.

"Do I have a chance to apply? It's too hard to move materials in a sewing machine factory." Yan Jiecheng sighed and expressed his difficulties.

Chen Sheng thought about it and realized that being a porter was indeed tiring, especially in a sewing factory with many machines and equipment. The heavy iron parts were a real physical test for the workers on the assembly line.

"Aren't you quite suitable for this position now? As long as you stick with it, there will always be a chance for you to be promoted to a full-time employee." Mr. Chen comforted him, saying that although such a transition is rare, it is often reserved for long-term staff who are patient enough to endure it.

“Although the possibility is great, it is too much work.

I'm thinking, if you guys are hiring, I might give it a try." Yan Jie Chengdu expressed his thoughts.

"I don't know the specific situation. Our department does not need temporary staff at the moment, but the cost of temporary positions in grocery stores is not a small amount." Mr. Chen further explained.

"Huh?" Yan Jiecheng looked surprised.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's reaction, Chen Sheng said, "You may not know this, but nowadays good temporary workers need to pay to come in."
