Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

The most painful thing in life is to be deceived by others, especially those closest to you.

That's right.

Liu Haizhong really believed that Zhao Fangde was the person closest to him.

After all, Liu Haizhong has always treated Zhao Fangde as his own child for so many years. He always calls Zhao Fangde for help with anything at home.

Even a few years ago, when the second aunt was ill, even the clothes in the bangs were cleaned by Zhao Fangde.

It can be said that Zhao Fangde is closer than Liu Haizhong's biological son. After all, even his biological son has never helped him wash clothes.

Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth and glared at Zhao Fangde and said, "Zhao Fangde, do you still have any conscience? I treat you so well, how dare you team up with outsiders to deal with me!"

"Be good to me?" Zhao Fangde was originally a little angry because he was shouted out by Yan Jiecheng, but now he heard Liu Haizhong's words and felt a surge of anger and courage in his heart.

For the first time, he straightened his chest in front of this master and stared straight into Liu Haizhong with wide eyes: "Master Liu, do you know what I regret most in my life? I recognized you as my master!"

"How can you think like this?" Liu Haizhong said with a look of astonishment: "Zhao Fangde, the people who want to be my apprentices can line up from the entrance of the forging workshop of Zhanmen Steel Rolling Mill to the main road behind. Those workers who are not talented enough , crying and shouting that you want to be my apprentice, but I don’t want it! If I hadn’t looked at the gifts you gave me, I wouldn’t have recognized you as my apprentice.

After you entered the steel rolling mill, I have been protecting you to prevent you from being bullied by other old workers.

Are you not satisfied yet? "

Zhao Fangde stared at Liu Haizhong, trying to see a hint of hypocrisy on his face, but he was disappointed. Liu Haizhong's expression was quite sincere, just like a child in the Yuhong Class.

This is enough to show that this is what he thinks.

Zhao Fangde felt a huge shock in his heart. Oh my God, how could there be such a shameless person in this world!

He knew very well that if a person's nature was like this, even if he wanted to persuade him, it would be impossible.

Zhao Fangde waved his hand at Liu Haizhong: "Master Liu, no matter what you say, no matter how you think I am sorry for you, I have decided on this matter today. I just want you to know that I will not let anyone bully me."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he felt discouraged. He originally thought of relying on the relationship between master and apprentice to morally kidnap Zhao Fangde.

He smiled bitterly at Yan Jiecheng and said: "Yan Jiecheng, you have set up such a big trap today. Even my most beloved disciple has been bribed by you. What on earth do you want to do?"

Yan Jiecheng did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Zhao Fangde: "Old Zhao, thank you for this today. I will definitely treat you to a drink when I have the chance."

"You're welcome."

Zhao Fangde nodded at Yan Jiecheng, turned around and left.

That's right, the reason why he helped Yan Jiecheng was not because he wanted Yan Jiecheng to take revenge, or because he wanted Yan Jiecheng to introduce him to his wife.

It's purely out of friendship.

Zhao Fangde entered the factory around the same time as Yan Jiecheng. After he became a master with Liu Haizhong, he originally thought that with bangs covering him, he would not be bullied by the green men in the factory.

Who would have thought that things were completely different from what they thought? Those green-skinned people didn't take Liu Haizhong seriously at all, or Liu Haizhong didn't mean to help Zhao Fangde. In addition, Zhao Fangde is the kind of person who is relatively honest by nature. Soon after entering the factory, he was targeted by the green men.

The so-called Qingpi are actually employees of the steel rolling mill, but they don't want to work hard in the workshop at all, so they often miss work every three days and go out to fool around.

Because the steel rolling mill is a state-owned factory, even if the factory knows about their behavior, they can only criticize and educate them. There is no way to deduct their wages, let alone expel them from the factory.

So those green men are confident, but they have to spend money to fool around outside. Their skill level is not high, most of them are first-level workers, and they earn more than 20 yuan a month. If ordinary people live a similar life, , but if you are wandering around on the streets and taking pictures of your mother-in-law, it is not enough.

These guys set their sights on the workers who had just entered the steel rolling mill. Because there were security officers patrolling the steel rolling mill, they did not dare to do anything inside the factory. On the way.

When the more honest workers came out of the factory, they jumped out of the woods and blocked each other's way.

Anyone who is surrounded by a group of guys holding wire locks will feel a little timid. In this case, the guys will not directly extort money from the other party, but will provide protection to the other party.

If those workers acted tougher at this time and expressed that they did not accept protection, those guys would have no choice but to leave after intimidating them and seeing that it had no effect.

After all, they don't want to be targeted by the security department of the steel rolling mill for just a few cents.

But there are always those workers who are less courageous. They accept the protection of these people out of fear of these people or worry about being bullied by others in the factory. Then these people will use this as a pretext to charge each other Fees, of course, you can also call this money protection fees.

These guys are bullies. As long as you pay the protection fee once, they will keep a close eye on you from now on. On the day of payment every month, these guys will stand at the intersection and collect this money from you. fee.

Zhao Fangde's temperament was already relatively weak, and the master Liu Haizhong didn't help him at all, so he didn't think clearly for a while and accepted the protection of this group of people.

Therefore, he needs to pay six yuan to these people every month.

Zhao Fangde's salary was only 27 yuan, and six yuan was almost equivalent to one-third of his salary. After paying twice, Zhao Fangde realized something was wrong and immediately told those people that he no longer needed protection.

It's a pity that he has now become a cash cow in the eyes of those people. How could those people let him go?
Therefore, instead of being exempted from the protection fee, Zhao Fangde was severely beaten by the gang.

At that time, Zhao Fangde met Yan Jiecheng.Yan Jiecheng happened to have a good relationship with those green-skinned people, so at Zhao Fangde's request, he invited them to give him a good meal.

And he said harsh words on the spot. If they dared to mess around again, Zhao Fangde would take the matter to the security department.

Those green men are actually a bunch of scoundrels, just trying to make some money. How can they have the courage to go head-to-head with the Security Department?

In addition, Yan Jiechen himself was also working outside, so he was given this face.

It was originally just a matter of effort, but Yan Jiecheng was regarded as a savior by Zhao Fangde, and then he became Yan Jiecheng's little brother.

Yan Jiecheng wanted to deal with Liu Haizhong this time, and the first thing he thought of was Zhao Fangde.

As expected, with the help of Zhao Fangde, Yan Jiecheng successfully grasped Liu Haizhong's weak spot.

At this time, Yan Jiecheng's bangs were like meat on the chopping board.

Of course Yan Jiecheng cannot let him go easily.

"Second uncle, we are all neighbors in the same compound. Originally I wouldn't do anything to you, but what you did is really outrageous." Yan Jiecheng looked at Liu Haizhong with a cold face.

Liu Haizhong pretended to be confused: "Yan Jiecheng, what are you talking about? Why am I so embarrassed! Our two families have been neighbors for many years. I sold all my wine bottles to your father. Black waste The price in the store is two cents each, but he only gave me one cent each. Do you think I don’t know? No, I know clearly. The reason why I want to let the money go without making any money is because of the big guy. It's all for the sake of the neighbors, to help your Yan family.

Your father is a veteran teacher and only earns less than 35 yuan a month. He has one more child than mine, and my salary is more than 80 yuan.

In addition, when your mother gave birth to you, your family really couldn't open the door. I lent your father five yuan so that your father could send your mother to the hospital to give birth to you.

After your mother gave birth to you, your baby was so hungry that you screamed because your milk supply was not good. Your father wanted to borrow some white flour, but he couldn’t get it anywhere. Even Yi Zhonghai wouldn’t lend it to your family. In the end, it was me who had the heart. You are kind enough to take two kilograms of fine white flour and give it to your family, so that your boy can survive.

This is not over yet. When you got married, Yu Li's family needed five yuan as a bride price. Your father couldn't bear the money, so it was me who came forward again and went to Yu Li's house to let Yu Li's family know. Only if your father waives the bride price can you marry Yu Li.

It can be said that over the years, I have been treating you, the Yan family, like a benefactor. I have never asked you to repay me, but you have turned the tables on me. Do you still have any conscience? "

If Yan Jiecheng didn't understand the truth of the matter, he might have knelt down on the ground with a thud and kowtowed heavily to Liu Haizhong after hearing these words.

It's a pity that Yan Jiecheng is not a child. He has grown up in Yan Jiecheng for decades and has heard of those things long ago.

stab
Yan Jiecheng took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a match, held it in his mouth and looked at Liu Haizhong coldly: "Liu Haizhong, are you kidding me? Are you kind? Let's start from the beginning. So if you don’t go to the black scrap spot to sell wine bottles, it’s because you don’t have a bicycle. It’s more than ten miles from our courtyard to the black scrap spot. If you walk, it will take you a whole morning to go back and forth. If you take the bus, You get two cents a time. Compared to selling the wine bottle to my father, you are even more uneconomical.

As for when my mother gave birth, you wanted my father to help you apply for a junior high school graduation certificate. You, a guy who graduated from a literacy class, never went to elementary school at all. In order to help you get the certificate, my father spent a lot of money. You have put a lot of effort into inviting several school leaders to dinner, but the little money you have is simply not enough to treat them to dinner. "

"The matter of the bride price is just that you, as the second uncle of the courtyard, forced yourself to come forward, which made Yu Li's parents very dissatisfied with me. Besides, Yu Li's family had already agreed to use all the money as a dowry. If you come to my house, you are just like a dog meddling in my own business."

"The matter of fine white flour is easier to explain. At that time, my family was short of food stamps for fine grains. If I went to the pigeon market to buy them, it would be too late. I just thought that the residents in our compound would help each other and whoever had them would Let's borrow some first and wait until my father's food stamps are issued before returning it to them. Who would have thought that you would have announced in advance that you would sell fine white noodles to my family. As a result, all the residents in the courtyard would be unwilling to I offended you and refused to lend fine white flour to our family. My father had to spend [-] cents per pound to buy pure white flour from your family.

And the fine white flour in the pigeon market only costs [-] cents per pound. You have earned [-] cents per pound of fine white flour, but you still have the nerve to mention it? "

Even Liu Haizhong himself had forgotten the real reasons behind these things. Now that Yan Jiecheng mentioned it, he was speechless for a moment.

"Okay, okay, even if I didn't help your family in Liu Haizhong, we are neighbors after all. I haven't offended you, why do you want to harm me."

Yan Jiecheng has been hanging out on the streets all day long and has seen many shameless people, but he has never seen anyone as shameless as Liu Haizhong.

He sneered: "Liu Haizhong, you have to remember one thing. If you don't want others to know what to do except yourself, Yu Qiuhua goes to the street office to report my father. Is it you who is guiding her behind her back?"

"What report? What Yu Qiuhua, I don't understand what you mean at all!" Liu Haizhong said with a confused look on his face.

Yan Jiecheng used to only think that Qin Huairu of the Jia family was the best performer in the courtyard. Now seeing Liu Haizhong's performance, he couldn't help but applaud: "Liu Haizhong, you are worthy of being the second uncle in our courtyard. You are good at acting." Pack!"

"Who is pretending? Who is pretending?" Liu Haizhong still looked confused.

"Okay, Liu Haizhong, if you keep doing this, we will have nothing to talk about. I will take these things to the Security Department now. I hope that your performance will win the applause of the security department officers."

As he spoke, Yan Jiecheng pulled the box and headed out.

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong turned pale with fright. He rushed up and took Yan Jiecheng's arm: "Brother Jiecheng, what are you doing! Things are not what you imagined at all."

"So you know about the report?" Yan Jiecheng said with a cold face.

Liu Haizhong secretly cursed, he had already done it very secretly, who was leaking the news behind his back?

Of course, he also knew that Yan Jiecheng came here for this matter. If he didn't solve the matter, Yan Jiecheng would definitely not be able to spare him.

Liu Haizhong sighed and said: "Jie Cheng, you really wrongly blamed the second uncle this time. Yu Qiuhua didn't know where he learned about your family's background two days ago. After all, I am the one who knows the most about policies in our compound." , she came to me to discuss it. When I saw that the matter involved your Yan family, of course I wanted Yu Qiuhua to keep it secret. I even gave her some fine white flour and some oil. Who knew that this old woman was going behind my back? , secretly ran to the street office, I only found out about these things later, otherwise I would definitely have stopped Yu Qiuhua."

Yan Jiecheng saw that Liu Haizhong was blaming Yu Qiuhua for the whole matter, and did not try to argue with him. He sneered: "Liu Haizhong, I don't care whether you are involved in this matter or not. You must give way to Yu Qiuhua." Qiuhua withdrew the report, otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude."
