Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

The days passed leisurely, as quiet as the mirror-like surface of a lake, without even a ripple.

But on such a calm June day, a piece of news came like a gust of wind, and the calm lake surface was suddenly turned into huge waves!

Yi Zhonghai plans to find a caregiver to take care of him in his old age, and his savings, house and work station will be left to this caregiver in the future.

As soon as this news came out, the whole courtyard became as hot as the weather in June.

You know, the savings of a seventh-level fitter is a huge sum, and living in three spacious houses is quite comfortable, and the workstation of a regular worker in a steel mill is even more coveted. Just picking out one of them alone can make people pounce on it like a fly smelling honey, let alone all three of them together!

Yi Zhonghai's house suddenly became crowded with people coming and going. Many people, with the beautiful fantasy of "maybe I can do it", came to promote themselves and claimed that they were willing to provide Yi Zhonghai with retirement care.

Even those idle people on the street would often stroll to No. 95 Courtyard when they had nothing to do, hoping to be noticed by Yi Zhonghai so that they would never have to worry about food and drink again.

Finally, Yi Zhonghai said: This idea is just an idea, and it is only applicable to the people in No. 95 Courtyard. After all, we have been neighbors for many years and know each other well.

Seeing that there was no hope, the people outside had no choice but to give up.

The people in Courtyard 95 were excited, and said that Yi Zhonghai had done a great job, keeping the wealth within the family.

Yi Zhonghai's family assets were limited, and everyone wanted to monopolize them, so no one was willing to give up easily. Everyone in the courtyard tried their best to get the upper hand in this matter.

I heard that they had a huge argument in private and neither of them was willing to give in.

The situation remained at a stalemate until Liu Haizhong used his power to threaten and force most people to withdraw. However, Liu Haizhong also promised that he would give certain compensation to those who withdrew from the competition.

But not everyone buys his tricks, at least Yan Bugui's family and Cui Dake are not moved.

The two sons of Yan Bugui were also in the patrol team, but they were not in Liu Haizhong's team, and they didn't buy into Liu Haizhong's tactics.

Cui Dake, not to mention, also has a backer. Since Li Huaide regained power, he has returned to work at the steel mill, still the unplanned purchase that many people envy. Cui Dake was also envious of Yi Zhonghai's property, and specially rented a house in the back house of the outer courtyard of No. 95, the same one he lived in before, just to have more contact and get closer to Yi Zhonghai.

Of course, in this lively battle, there are also those who remain calm from beginning to end, such as Sha Zhu, who lives a good life, and Qin Huairu, who seems to just want to live a good life now.

No one can tell whether Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu really don't care about anything or they have seen through Yi Zhonghai's little plan!

"Brother Zheng, tell me, what exactly is Yi Zhonghai going to do?"

Lou Xiao'e, who was sitting in the office corridor enjoying the cool, asked in confusion. She knew about Yi Zhonghai's donation last month. After all, she was the one who managed the Hope Fund, and she knew every penny of the money in and out.

"Hard to say."

Liu Guozheng was also confused at this moment, and he really couldn't guess what Yi Zhonghai was up to. Could it be that Yi Zhonghai was setting a trap? Otherwise, why did he specifically emphasize not to consider outsiders and only look for people from No. 95 Courtyard?

"No matter what Yi Zhonghai is up to, it has nothing to do with us. Let's just sit back and wait and see." Liu Guozheng didn't think that Yi Zhonghai's search for an old person to take care of the elderly would go smoothly. The Liu Haizhong family and Yan Bugui's family alone would be in chaos.

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said, "That's true."

At noon, Xu Damao rushed in like a gust of wind, shouting at the top of his voice as he ran: "Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng, big melon, big melon!"

"Hey, Damao, you are at least a deputy section chief, can you be more steady?" Liu Guozheng looked at his impetuous look and shook his head and sighed.

"Brother Zheng, being steady is not as exciting as eating melons." Xu Damao gulped down his saliva, then said with a beaming face: "Let me tell you, I heard that Yi Zhonghai specially invited Li Huaide to be a witness, and he plans to settle the matter of taking care of the elderly this Sunday, which is tomorrow."

"Who are they?" Liu Guozheng asked curiously.

Xu Damao stroked his moustache proudly and said, "Liu Guangqi, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, Cui Dake, just the four of them."

"Why is Liu Guangfu not included?" Liu Guozheng frowned and asked in confusion, "No one among these people is worse than the others, so why is Liu Guangfu left out?"

"Well, Yi Zhonghai has the final say on this matter." Xu Damao spread his hands, "Yi Zhonghai clearly stated that he doesn't like Liu Guangfu, so he simply didn't include him."

"is it?"

Liu Guozheng now understood completely that Yi Zhonghai was clearly setting a trap, and it looked like the trap was not small. Otherwise, why were there no other candidates, only Liu Haizhong's family and Yan Bugui's family?

However, Liu Guozheng was too lazy to worry about it. After all, it had nothing to do with him.

"Brother Zheng, who do you think will have the last laugh among the four of them?" Xu Damao has never stopped talking since he entered the door. He is either chattering incessantly or "snatching" some snacks from the two little girls.

Liu Guozheng asked with a smile: "Damao, don't you have any ideas? Yi Zhonghai's property is not a small amount!"

"I am a deputy section chief after all. Why would I care about Yi Zhonghai's stuff?" Xu Damao curled his lips in disdain. Besides, he had to maintain a good reputation among the masses and a good image in the eyes of his leaders. Of course, he couldn't ruin his bright future for Yi Zhonghai's little fortune. He had parents, and it would be bad for him to support others for material things.

"Hahaha!" Liu Guozheng suddenly burst into laughter.

"Brother Zheng, what's so funny about this?" Xu Damao asked curiously.

"It's unspeakable, unspeakable!" Liu Guozheng shook his head mysteriously.
