Siheyuan: Start with a big car

When Jia Zhang heard Li Weidong's righteous rebuke, she was not afraid at all, but secretly happy. She was waiting for such an "east wind" so that the whole courtyard would know about it and Li Weidong would be in a difficult situation.

At that moment, her eyes widened, she covered her face with her hands, and screamed at the top of her voice: "Everyone, come and judge for justice! This Li Weidong usually pretends to be a decent person in the yard. He is the boss and is in charge of the recruitment of workers in the factory workshop. But now he is bullying the residents in our compound! My Qin Huairu and Banggeng just want to enter the workshop, earn hard-earned money, and improve our family's life, but he makes things difficult for them in every way and refuses to give them a chance. Is there any justice in this world!"

Her voice was already sharp, and now she deliberately raised the volume. Her voice echoed in the corridors and under the roofs of the courtyard, with great penetrating power. After a while, the sound of chaotic footsteps was heard in the yard, and everyone was attracted by the shouting.

The third uncle in the front yard, Yan Bugui, was holding a student's homework book that he hadn't finished correcting. He was jogging along, and his glasses were almost knocked off. He kept muttering, "What's going on? What's going on? Why is there such a commotion in the middle of the night?"

The silly man in the middle courtyard came over quickly with his arms and legs open, swaying and yelling, "Hey, who is this? What are you yelling about?"

The wound on Liu Haizhong's head had just healed a little, and the gauze still smelled of medicine, but curiosity got the better of him and he followed the crowd in to watch the fun.

Yi Zhonghai walked slowly, seemingly calm, but with a barely perceptible smile on his face, thinking about how to stir up trouble in this chaos and regain his prestige as a "big boss". As soon as he came up, he put on a fair and kind look and said, "Stop arguing, what's going on? Let's talk it over. We can't have such a commotion in our compound."

When Jia Zhang heard Yi Zhonghai's seemingly fair question, she was secretly delighted and felt that the opportunity had come. She immediately raised her voice and pointed at Li Weidong with trembling fingers. She looked aggrieved as if she had suffered a great injustice. She cried and complained: "Master Yi, you are finally here, you have to judge for us! Although Li Weidong is in charge of recruiting workers in the workshop in the factory, people in our compound came to him and wanted their children to work in the workshop to earn money, but he didn't help at all. He also said such ugly words, saying that they didn't meet the requirements. Isn't this obviously bullying? We all live in the same courtyard and see each other every day. How can he be so cruel and not help us poor residents at all!"

Yi Zhonghai felt proud when listening to Jia Zhang's crying. He felt that the time was right, so he cleared his throat, put on a look of grief and impartiality, looked at Li Weidong, and said loudly: "Li Weidong, look at you, as the eldest uncle of our courtyard, the residents of this courtyard have difficulties and ask you for help, that is trustworthy! But you, Qin Huairu and Banggeng just want to enter the workshop and make a living, you just rejected them so bluntly, without any mercy. The position of an uncle is to seek welfare for the whole courtyard and help everyone solve difficulties. You are really unworthy of being an uncle now. In my opinion, you should give up this position as soon as possible and let someone more capable take it!"

Yi Zhonghai's words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves in the crowd. The surrounding residents were immediately in an uproar. After a commotion, there was a constant stream of whispers, and everyone was talking at once, each with their own opinions.

Sha Zhu was a straightforward person and he always respected Li Weidong. When he heard Yi Zhonghai's accusation, he immediately frowned.
"Hey! Yi Zhonghai, don't talk nonsense here! There must be rules for the workshop to recruit workers. Li Weidong is in charge of this matter, but he can't break the rules and recruit people casually. Can the workshop hire people who don't know anything and only want to get in through the back door? We have to be reasonable!"

The third uncle Yan Bugui also nodded slightly, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said slowly with a shrewd look in his eyes: "Jia Zhang, your request is indeed a bit excessive. This workshop is not opened by your family, so you can't just enter it. It's not appropriate to make a scene here."

Seeing that the situation did not develop as he expected, Yi Zhonghai suddenly became anxious. He glanced at Liu Haizhong standing beside him, and quickly reached out to pull him to a secluded corner, saying in a low voice: "Haizhong, look at what has happened. I originally wanted to seek some benefits for the hospital, but now Li Weidong is a stubborn guy, so I have to rely on you to help me.

You know, I've always wanted to get my position back. As long as I can control Li Weidong this time and make him lose face in the hospital, I'll have a way to get your eldest son into the new energy workshop. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you must seize it."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, his heart skipped a beat. To be honest, he was indeed angry with Li Weidong for some things before, but he was still reluctant to be the first to speak out. After all, he didn't want to be used as a gun. But when he thought about the extra money his eldest son could earn by joining the workshop, he gritted his teeth and nodded.

Liu Haizhong straightened his clothes, walked forward with a slightly unnatural look, cleared his throat, and imitated Yi Zhonghai's distressed look, saying: "Li Weidong, don't think you are right. Since you are the boss of this courtyard, you have to think about the residents in the courtyard. Now Qin Huairu and Banggeng want to enter the workshop, but you don't help them. How can you act like a boss?
In my opinion, if you continue like this, you really shouldn't be the boss anymore, you should let someone more capable take over the position!"

As soon as he said this, there was another small commotion in the crowd. No one expected Liu Haizhong to suddenly stand up and accuse Li Weidong. Many people looked at him with puzzled eyes, as if they were guessing why he did this.

Li Weidong's face was stern, his eyes showed undisguised boredom and disdain. He was too lazy to argue with the noisy accusations and calculations of the group of people in front of him. He just folded his hands across his chest, his body straight, like a pine tree standing proudly in the wind and rain, unmoved at all.

He spoke coldly, his voice steady and powerful, like a huge bell, clearly audible in this noisy courtyard: "Humph, let me make this clear today. Recruiting workers in the workshop is the factory's business. It is done in accordance with the factory's rules and regulations and employment standards. It has nothing to do with our courtyard. You are all messing around here, making trouble, accusing me of not helping, and asking me to give up my position as the boss. What are you thinking? Do you think I can't see it?"

At this point, Li Weidong's eyes were like torches, slowly sweeping over Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai. His eyes seemed to be able to see through their inner thoughts, and he continued, "Especially you Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai. As ordinary workers in the steel rolling mill, you two don't do your own jobs well, but try to interfere in the factory's recruitment. What kind of thing is this? This is a serious violation of the factory's rules and regulations. Aren't you afraid that the factory will investigate and you will be in trouble?"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai on the head. They turned pale, their bodies shook violently, and their eyes were full of fear and panic. They had originally wanted to use this incident to control Li Weidong and gain some benefits for themselves, but they never expected that Li Weidong would put such a big hat on them. If the factory really knew about this, it would definitely not be a joke, and they would have to worry about whether they could keep their jobs.

At that moment, Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai were like soft-bodied animals with their backbones removed. They instantly lost their arrogant and self-righteous appearance. They lowered their heads, not daring to breathe, let alone say another word. They just stood there, shivering, regretting deeply in their hearts, hating themselves for being so blinded by greed and getting involved in such matters.

Seeing this, the people around also quieted down. Many people looked at Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai with contempt and disdain in their eyes, secretly laughing at them for being too clever but ending up losing more than they gained.

Jia Zhang originally thought that with Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong charging in the front, they would be able to control Li Weidong and achieve the goal of getting Qin Huairu and Bang Geng into the workshop. But she never expected that after Li Weidong's sharp response, the two of them instantly wilted like eggplants hit by frost, not daring to make a sound.

When Jia Zhang saw this, she immediately became furious. Her eyes were as big as copper bells, her cheeks were puffed up with anger, and the wrinkles on her face were twisted with anger.

She cursed, "You two useless things, you always boast about your achievements, but now you are frightened by a few words, hum!" After cursing, she didn't care about her dignity anymore, and rushed towards Li Weidong like a mad tigress, shouting, "Li Weidong, you little bastard, I will fight you today. You don't do anything for my family, and you dare to scare people. I will beat you to death!"

It happened in a flash. Sha Zhu had been watching all this coldly from the side. Seeing that Jia Zhang was actually going to attack Li Weidong, he didn't think much and instinctively raised his leg to kick. This kick landed firmly on Jia Zhang's stomach. With a scream of "Ouch", Jia Zhang flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, fell heavily to the ground, and raised a cloud of dust.

Jia Zhang was lying on the ground, holding her stomach with her hands. Her face was pale with pain and she kept humming. She looked both miserable and pitiful.

She stared at Sha Zhu with eyes wide open in disbelief, uttering a few words with difficulty: "Sha Zhu...you...you dare to hit me..."

Sha Zhu crossed his arms, snorted, and said with disdain: "Humph, Jia Zhangshi, don't you see what you are doing? You want to hit someone? No way! Li Weidong is right, this matter must be handled according to the rules. What's the point of you throwing a tantrum here? Don't think that everyone is afraid of you. Today I will cure your bad habits!"

The people around were stunned when they saw this scene, and then they couldn't help laughing. The third uncle Yan Bugui pushed his glasses and said with a smile: "Oh, this Jia Zhang is really asking for trouble. Sha Zhu kicked her well, and let her know that this courtyard is not a place for her to act wildly."

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong stood aside, lowering their heads in embarrassment. They didn't dare to say anything more at this moment. They just hoped that this farce would end quickly so that they could quickly get out of this embarrassing situation.

Li Weidong looked at Jia Zhang lying on the ground and frowned slightly. Although he was extremely annoyed by Jia Zhang's series of unreasonable nagging, he didn't want to make things too ugly, so he said coldly: "Jia Zhang, don't make trouble here, get up and go home quickly, today's matter ends here, if you dare to make trouble again in the future, don't blame me for being rude."

After hearing Li Weidong's cold and warning words, Jia Zhang knew that if she left in disgrace, there would be no hope for Qin Huairu and Banggeng to enter the workshop.

She gritted her teeth, sat down on the ground, crossed her legs, waved her hands in the air, and then opened her mouth and started howling loudly.

The crying sound could break through the clouds, echoing above the courtyard, sharp and miserable: "Oh my god, come and see, is there any justice in this world? I'm an old lonely woman, and I just want to make a living for my family. I beg Li Weidong to let Qin Huairu and Banggeng enter the workshop, why is it so difficult! Now look what happened, Li Weidong didn't agree, that idiot Zhu even beat them up, and hurt my old bones. My stomach hurts so much, I'm afraid I won't make it, wuwuwu..."

She rubbed her belly while crying, and raised her head from time to time, staring at Li Weidong and Sha Zhu with eyes full of tears and resentment, trying to arouse sympathy from the people around her.

The wrinkles on his face were twisted even more because of crying, and the saliva in his mouth splashed out with the crying. He looked embarrassed and pitiful, but also had a sense of being naughty and throwing a tantrum.

When the people around heard the crying, they all gathered around and whispered to each other.

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, frowned and muttered quietly, "This Jia Zhang is acting like a rogue again. There's really nothing we can do about her."

Yi Zhonghai stood aside, thinking secretly in his heart, this matter has come to this point, although it did not develop as he expected, but if he could use Jia Zhang's disturbance to make things more difficult for Li Weidong, maybe he could save the situation. So he pretended to be concerned and walked forward and said, "Jia Zhang, don't cry first, we need to talk about this matter. It is wrong for Sha Zhu to hit someone. How are you injured? You should go see a doctor immediately."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he got anxious. He widened his eyes and pointed at Jia Zhang and said, "Hey! Jia Zhang, don't spit bloody words at me here. I tried to stop you because I saw you were going to attack Li Weidong. I just kicked you lightly. How could it hurt you? You are just playing tricks and trying to blackmail me!"

Jia Zhang raised the corner of her mouth subtly. She just wanted to blackmail Sha Zhu.
