Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 504 The General Assembly
Seeing Yi Zhonghai's concession, Liu Haizhong didn't continue to pursue it, because he knew that words were better than words, and he was definitely not Yi Zhonghai's opponent.

If they want to move Yi Zhonghai down, they have to rely on these residents in the compound. Only when they unite and attack Yi Zhonghai together, can Yi Zhonghai lose face.

After making up his mind, Liu Haizhong walked up to the residents with a big belly, and said loudly: "The reason why I want to delay the big guy's time today is because a good thing happened in our compound."

"A good thing? It's just a good thing to praise directly. Why do you need to hold a meeting? Do you want to hold a meeting to praise?" When the residents heard Liu Haizhong's words, they were a little confused at the time, and began to discuss.

Liu Haizhong pressed his hands up and down, feeling the gazes of the residents, his bones went numb, yes, it was this feeling of being valued by others, it was so wonderful, it was simply the most wonderful moment in the world.

Liu Haizhong wished that time would stop at this moment, so that he would stay in the attention of the residents forever, but he knew that he was a brave warrior now.It was necessary to take advantage of Yi Zhonghai's unpreparedness and blow the horn of battle.

Liu Haizhong took a deep breath, vented all the strength he had accumulated for more than ten years, and roared in a thunderous voice: "That's right!! A great thing has happened to our compound. Director Liu please Comrades from the power supply station installed transformers in our compound. Everyone should know that the voltage in our compound is not stable. Sometimes, when the electricity consumption is too high at night, even the light bulbs will not turn on.

Do you think this is a great thing?
"

He didn't wait for the residents to start discussing, and then continued: "However, Comrade Yi Zhonghai, the uncle of our courtyard, refused the request of comrades from the power supply station. He claimed that our courtyard does not need transformers! His good intentions were in vain, you think he is hateful or not!"

The battle officially started, Yi Zhonghai didn't care about Liu Haizhong's words at first.

As a great man, the courtyard is his one-third of an acre of land. Anyone who wants to start construction on this one-third of an acre of land must obtain his consent.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai would not agree to install the transformer, not because he was afraid that the electricity bills of the residents would increase, and he would not feel bad about how much the residents spent.

He was afraid of new changes in the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai was already old, and he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with those changes. He hoped that the courtyard would remain as it is now.After Yi Zhonghai finished eating every day, he walked around the compound with his hands behind his back. When he encountered a naughty child, he reached out and touched the child's head, and told him, "Little brat, you can play, don't cause trouble." The terrified eyes of the child made him feel comfortable.

Yi Zhonghai wandered to the doors of several residents, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed it to them generously, then quietly admired those residents who were reluctant to smoke after getting the cigarette, rubbed it on their noses, and then carefully It looks like it's plugged into the ear.

At that time, he would give a hearty laugh, lean down and ask the residents about the difficulties they encountered, and after pretending to listen for a while, he would pat the residents on the shoulder: "The difficulties are temporary, and there will always be bread. Full of hope", and then, under the awe-inspiring eyes of the residents, with their hands behind their backs, they continued to walk to the next house with figure-of-eight steps.

Yi Zhonghai was afraid that after he handed out the cigarettes, those residents would put them into their mouths with a look of indifference. When he asked the residents about their difficulties, the residents smiled and said there was no problem. In that case, he would lose his sense of existence .

Over the years, with the development of time, Yi Zhonghai discovered that some new changes have taken place in the courtyard one after another. Those residents who used to nod and bow when they saw him, now dare to look at him, and those who are "spoiled" by him Children, when they grow up, they turn their heads and run away when they see him.This new change made Yi Zhonghai feel a little scared.He absolutely does not allow new changes to continue to spread.

A new transformer means new changes. Yi Zhonghai, the old man guarding the courtyard, absolutely does not allow new transformers to appear in the courtyard.

Facing Liu Haizhong's attack, Yi Zhonghai used his trump card habitually, and nodded at the residents: "Yes, I do refuse to install the transformer, but that is my right as the grand master of the courtyard house. What does it mean to call the residents together for this kind of thing? Do you think that I am unqualified! Well, you go to the street to handle it now, and ask Director Wang of the street office to dismiss me as a uncle."

Liu Haizhong was a little timid at first, but now with the encouragement of the residents, he feels that he is doing well again.

He suppressed the panic in his heart, and stared at Yi Zhonghai coldly: "Comrade Yi Zhonghai, you are indeed the big man in our compound, and you are also qualified to make decisions on matters in our compound, but the installation of transformers does not affect everyone. The residents are all good, but you refused, can't we ask why?
You are an old man in a courtyard, not an emperor!The courtyard is a courtyard of 27 households in the hospital, not a courtyard of your uncle alone!

The big guy said yes! "

As Liu Haizhong's words fell, the residents also began to discuss. They had long disliked Yi Zhonghai, so naturally they couldn't let go of this opportunity now.

"That's right, why should he have the final say on matters in our compound, all the residents of our compound should settle it!"

"Yes, yes, if there is a transformer, our light bulbs will not flicker every night. I have heard that the flickering of the light bulb is very bad for the light bulb, and the light bulb is easy to break."

"The second uncle is right, Yi Zhonghai is too much!"

The voice of discussion was like a sharp knife, cutting Yi Zhonghai's skin. He has been in charge of the courtyard for so many years, and he has never been so opposed by others.

Yi Zhonghai knew that the enthusiasm of the residents had been aroused, and it was impossible to easily fool them. The only way now was to argue.

Yi Zhonghai calmed his expression, and said in a cold voice: "Liu Haizhong, you have to be responsible for what you say. The power supply station just came to ask about the installation of transformers, and didn't say that we must install transformers for our compound. You guys also know the current power supply. How tense it is, many factories are short of electricity, how can the power supply station install transformers in our compound! Liu Haizhong, I knew you were dissatisfied with me, but I never thought that you would listen to the wind and rain, according to A false rumor came to retaliate against me."

Yi Zhonghai's shamelessness made Liu Haizhong speechless for a while, he never thought that Yi Zhonghai would not admit it.

Xu Damao knew that something was wrong. After all, only Liu Hongchang and the comrades in the power supply station knew about the transformer. They had no actual evidence at all.

But what about Liu Hongchang now? Why is he gone?

At this time, Wang Weidong was drinking tea at Xu Damao's house, of course, accompanied by Qin Jingru.

He had already arrived at the venue just now, but he drank too much water in the afternoon, and his stomach was a little flat, so he wanted to go to the latrine.

Just two steps away, he met Qin Jingru. At that time, Wang Weidong could only pretend that he didn't know the location of the hut, and asked Qin Jingru to help him lead the way.

After the two returned from the hut, Qin Jingru invited Wang Weidong to sit at her house for a while.

Wang Weidong is a big man, would he still be afraid of a delicate little daughter-in-law?Of course I went with pleasure.

In front of the square table, Wang Weidong held Qin Jingru's little hand, spread her fingers flat, pointed to the palm print on it and said, "Sister-in-law, from your palm print, you are a lucky person!"

Qin Jingru felt the heat from that big palm, her little face flushed with shame, her heart throbbed one after another, and dense sweat oozes from her white and smooth forehead.

She lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Director Liu, to tell you the truth, you made a mistake. Ever since I married Xu Damao in my life, I have never been happy for a day. You don't know that Xu Damao looks gentle and speaks well. He is very kind, but he is actually a vicious person. He often abuses me!"

While talking, Qin Jingru glanced at the door and saw that it was closed tightly. She knew that Xu Damao was having a meeting outside and would never come back, so she gritted her teeth and unbuttoned her jacket, revealing the bruised part Xu Damao had beaten .

"Director Liu, look, it was Xu Damao who beat me up. Tell me, why is my life so hard!"

On the white skin, there were several bruises. Although Wang Weidong knew that the young couple had a bad relationship, he did not expect that Xu Damao would do such a vicious trick.

Especially Qin Jingru is like a delicate rose, her skin is as tender as egg white.

Wang Weidong gritted his teeth and said: "Xu Damao is too much, I will definitely teach him a lesson in the future. Sister-in-law, does it still hurt now?"

Qin Jingru glared at Wang Weidong coquettishly, and smiled with her lips pursed: "Touch it, let me see if it still hurts?"

Wang Weidong took a deep breath and stretched out his hand.

Half an hour later, Wang Weidong remembered the meeting, put Qin Jingru's head off his arms, stood up and began to get dressed.

"Sister-in-law, I have to go to a meeting, otherwise Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong will definitely not be able to deal with Yi Zhonghai."

Only now did Qin Jingru regain her composure. She sat up from the bed, put her arms around Wang Weidong's waist, and leaned her head on Wang Weidong's shoulder: "Brother Hong Chang, after you leave, will you come back?"

Wang Weidong turned his head, took a sip, stretched out his hand to pinch Qin Jingru's chin, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, when I make arrangements, we will be able to see each other often in the future. Before that, you have to be patient for a while."

Qin Jingru nodded heavily: "Brother Hong Chang, I believe in you!"

Looking at the back of Wang Weidong leaving, Qin Jingru's eyes sparkled with hope. In just half an hour, Wang Weidong gave her a taste of happiness.

She had never felt that happiness after being with Xu Damao for decades.

Thinking of Xu Damao, Qin Jingru suddenly realized that he didn't feel any guilt.After Xu Damao tricked her back then, he never respected her. He always called her a country girl and beat and scolded her frequently.

If it wasn't for Qin Jingru's lack of food and work, she would have divorced Xu Damao long ago.

At this time, Xu Damao in the center of the venue saw Wang Weidong staggering towards him, and he trotted all the way to meet him.

"Director Liu, you are here."

After saying hello and holding Wang Weidong's hand tightly, Xu Damao vaguely smelled the smell of heather from Wang Weidong's body. As a person who has often harmed little girls, Xu Damao knew the source of this smell.

He patted Wang Weidong's shoulder heavily, looked at Wang Weidong meaningfully and said, "Director Liu, I didn't expect that, you are really hardworking, my cousin will definitely be very happy."

In Xu Damao's view, the reason why Wang Weidong was late must be because he was with Guan Tingting.At this time, he was extremely envious. To him, Guan Tingting was like a goddess. As long as she could hold her hand, he would be willing even to die.

Wang Weidong's face straightened: "Comrade Xu Damao, have you forgotten that we still have business to do? How can we spend time on these mundane things?"

His righteous and stern words made Xu Damao respectful, Xu Damao nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, we have to expel Yi Zhonghai from the stage as soon as possible, and let the courtyard house be bathed in the sunshine of justice again!"

At this time, the two of them were talking here, which had attracted Yi Zhonghai's attention. He had known Wang Weidong several times before, and knew that Wang Weidong was the director of the TV factory, but he didn't care too much.

The director of the TV factory is indeed very powerful, but this is a courtyard house, which belongs to Yi Zhonghai. Wang Weidong is not a resident of the courtyard house at all, and he does not have the right to speak.

Yi Zhonghai pointed to Xu Damao and said, "Da Mao, our compound is holding a meeting, what do you mean by inviting an outsider here! Hmm?"

Xu Damao was almost killed by Yi Zhonghai's arrogance. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a smile: "My lord, this is Liu Hongchang who lives in the outer courtyard, Director Liu. Director Liu is not an outsider. In the past, the old man who lived in the outer courtyard had participated in the meeting of the courtyard. Now that the factory manager Liu Hongchang bought the old man's house, he naturally has the right to participate in the meeting. Although you are the big man of the courtyard, this is our courtyard You can't break the old rules."

These words were like a burst of thunder echoing in Yi Zhonghai's ears, how could it be possible!How could Liu Hongchang participate in the courtyard meeting!
He raised his eyelids and thought for a while, then slapped his thighs violently. Oops, he played a trick back then, but he didn't expect that so much had passed, and he actually got himself involved.

Back then, the three stewards in the courtyard had just taken office, and Yi Zhonghai's power was far from as great as it is today, and he had to rely on the residents to fight against Liu Haizhong and Yan Pugui.

Of course, Liu Haizhong is a seventh-level blacksmith, and there are many supporters of workers in the courtyard, while Yan Bugui is a school teacher and a cultural person. No matter what era he is in, a cultural person can always be recognized by everyone.

In order to attract more people, Yi Zhonghai not only cultivated relationships with the residents who could attend the meeting, but also targeted the old man in the outer courtyard.
