After hearing Wang Weidong's words, the residents of the courtyard immediately looked at Yi Zhonghai in disbelief.
"Master, is this true? You've been hiding this from us for so many years. It's really too much."
"Yes, sir, you said back then that you were the biggest leader in the courtyard. If anyone doesn't listen to you, you can kick them out of the courtyard."
"Three stewards, please say something! Are Comrade Liu Hongchang's words true?"
Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui were all shocked and speechless after hearing Wang Weidong's words.
They did not expect that Wang Weidong would know the background of the steward, and they did not expect that Wang Weidong would expose the background.
According to common sense, Wang Weidong is about to run for the Grand Master of the Siheyuan, so there is no need for him to flip the table.
After all, who would despise the power in their hands?
Of course they didn't know that Wang Weidong didn't like the man they regarded as their favorite, the grand master of the courtyard.
The reason why Wang Weidong ran for election was to create trouble for Yi Zhonghai.
Seeing that the stewards did not answer, the residents of the courtyard immediately understood something in their hearts and became angry.
"Yi Zhonghai, tell me, have you been lying to us for so many years?"
"Let's go to the street office and find Director Wang!"
...
Seeing that the residents wanted to report to the street office, Yi Zhonghai could no longer pretend to be dead.
He stopped in front of the residents and said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet. The matter we have to solve now is Liu Hongchang's bullying of the Yan family. As for the authority of the courtyard steward, we will discuss it later, and I promise to give it to everyone." A satisfactory answer.”
He knew that once the residents confronted the street office, what they had done over the years would definitely be exposed.
Not only will it fail to win the election, but it will also cause other troubles. The only thing to do now is to drag.
Yi Zhonghai believed that with his own ability, he could convince Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office to cooperate with him. After all, the Subdistrict Office did not want to see chaos in the courtyard.
Yan Bugui understood Yi Zhonghai's plan and gave Yan Jiecheng a look.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu””” Dear fellow villagers, you have to make the decision for me. My daughter-in-law was stopped by Liu Hongchang, and Liu Hongchang even beat her up. We are all neighbors who have lived in the same compound for decades. You can’t Watching me being bullied."
Yan Jiefang ran to the residents, bursting into tears and crying loudly. It has to be said that all the beasts in the courtyard have acting talents. Even Yan Jiecheng, who is not a popular character, has a very good expression.
Make those who hear it cry!
"Yes, we can discuss the matter with the steward later. Helping Yan Jiecheng get his wife back is a serious matter."
"That's right, Yan Bugui has been helping us teach our children in school over the years."
"We are all from the same compound, so we should help."
The residents were so moved by Yan Jiecheng's performance that they turned around and gathered around Wang Weidong.
An uncle stood up and asked: "Liu Hongchang, why did you stop Yu Li? Don't you know that Yu Li is Yan Jiecheng's wife?"
Wang Weidong looked at the performances of the beasts and almost applauded them. With just a few words, he deceived the residents into turning around. No wonder he could control the courtyard for so many years.
However, you are still a little too young to want to fight with me, Wang Weidong.
He walked up to the uncle and said with a smile: "For this question, I suggest you ask Yu Li yourself."
The residents were stunned for a moment and nodded.
An aunt walked up to Yu Li and asked in a friendly voice: "Yu Li, I am the aunt of the Liu family. I want to ask you if Wang Weidong stopped you and prevented you from going home."
Yu Li wiped her eyes and said: "Auntie, these are all nonsense that Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng are talking about. They are unwilling to go home with Yan Jiecheng. I want to divorce Yan Jiecheng. This matter has nothing to do with Comrade Liu Hongchang!"
As soon as these words came out, the residents were a little confused.
Aunt Liu's family looked at Yan Jiecheng and said, "Yan Jiecheng, what on earth is going on?"
"Auntie, as I said just now, Yu Li and I had a fight. It's normal for young couples to quarrel. I wanted to take Yu Li back and apologize to her, but I didn't expect it, but Liu Hongchang stopped me."
With that said, Yan Jiecheng walked up to Yu Li and wanted to hold Yu Li's hand.
"Yu Li, don't make the family scandal public. If anything happens, let's talk about it when we go home."
Yan Jiecheng is very good at calculating. As long as Yu Li returns to Yan's house with him, he has a hundred ways to keep Yu Li here.
But Yu Li had already seen through the Yan family, and her heart was broken.
Yu Li shook off Yan Jiecheng's hand, raised her eyebrows and said: "Yan Jiecheng, don't pretend to be here. I have been married to you for so many years, and I have never had a happy life. Your family simply doesn't treat people as human beings. I have to count the grains of rice even when I eat. I don’t have a job, but the money I earn as a temporary worker every month is no less than you. Even so, you still look down on me.
After I got married, every time I went back to my parents’ house and wanted to bring some gifts, you would scold me. Said I couldn't live my life.
Qin Jingru gave me two kilograms of meat today. My mother has been in poor health recently. I wanted to take it back to honor my mother, but Yan Bugui stole the pork while I wasn't paying attention. "
When Yan Bugui heard this, he muttered: "They are all family members, can I be stealing?"
Yu Li ignored him and continued: "Aunt Liu, my mother worked hard to bring me up so much. How much effort she put in. Now when it's time for me to repay her, the Yan family actually stopped me. What do you mean? Have they lost their conscience?"
After hearing Yu Li's cry, the onlookers looked at everyone in the Yan family with eyes full of contempt.
Although the mind has not yet been completely liberated in this era, there is a popular saying that a married daughter is the water thrown out. It is believed that a woman should be filial to her parents-in-law in the man's family after she is married.
but.
He didn't say that he wanted to cut off his parents.
On the occasion of three birthdays and two birthdays, it is an obligation and responsibility for a daughter to take her son-in-law to visit her parents. When the mother-in-law and father-in-law encounter trouble, the son-in-law and his family members also have to lend a helping hand.
Otherwise, it is unfilial, and being unfilial is a serious sin.
Once someone reports you to the street office, you will be criticized.
Yan Bugui realized the seriousness of the problem and thought something was wrong, so he quickly stepped forward to explain.
"Oh, Yu Li, you misunderstood. Dad sees that you have no job and no source of income. Your parents' life is not bad. I feel sorry for you, so I won't let you bring gifts back. I do it for your own good. .”
"Don't pretend to be a good person here!" Yu Li was trembling with anger: "Even if I have no more money, I will not treat my parents badly. Besides, I haven't made less money working as a temporary worker for so many years. It's just that the money You took it all away!"
The residents also know the situation of the Yan family and know that Yan Bugui is a stingy person, so they don't let Yu Li return to her parents' home in order to save money.
There was a lot of discussion immediately.
"Yan Bugui went too far this time. It was a serious matter for Yu Li to go back to her parents' home to visit her mother, but he actually stopped her."
"That's right, such a stingy family is really rare. It is reasonable for Yu Li and Yan Jiefang to divorce."
"Thanks to Liu Hongchang. If it weren't for Liu Hongchang, Yu Li would be in big trouble today."
"Yes, yes, Comrade Liu Hongchang is an enthusiastic and good comrade. I think Liu Hongchang should be chosen as the great master."
.......
Next to him, Yi Zhonghai's face suddenly darkened when he heard the residents talking.
He didn't expect that he had gone to such great lengths to find so many residents. He originally planned to kill Wang Weidong, but in the end he shot himself in the foot.
Of course, he couldn't resent Wang Weidong.
Anyone who sees Yan Jiefang committing violence in the street and learns about the dirty things about the Yan family must help Yu Li.
If you want to blame, blame Yan Bugui.
This old teacher really gets more and more confused as he gets older.
It's okay for you to be picky and picky, but you dare to stop something as big as honoring the elderly.
Do you want to go against the guidelines above?
Oops, I can't help it anymore, my heart hurts again.
Yi Zhonghai covered his heart, pretended to be sick, and walked away in a gray manner.
Seeing Yi Zhonghai slipping away, ten thousand draft horses galloped past in the center of Liu Hai.
The old boy Lao Yi got into trouble, and he escaped instead.
He also wanted to pretend to be sick, but when two stewards fell ill in a row, the cheating was too obvious.
Liu Haizhong walked up to Wang Weidong, licked his face and said with a smile: "Comrade Liu Hongchang, Director Liu, I was deceived by Yi Zhonghai, and I definitely didn't mean to cause trouble for you. You know, during the election, I'm sure I will vote for you.”
Wang Weidong didn't believe Liu Haizhong's words at all. The beasts in the courtyard were all two-faced.
He waved his hand and said, "Second uncle, it's up to you who you vote for, but I hope you can think clearly about whether Yi Zhonghai is really trustworthy?"
"Yes, yes." Seeing that Wang Weidong did not hold him accountable, Liu Haizhong breathed a sigh of relief: "I still have something to do at home, so I'll leave first."
After Liu Haizhong left, Yan Bugui, Yan Jiecheng and other members of the Yan family were too embarrassed to stay any longer, so they all turned around and returned to the courtyard.
When Yan Jiecheng left, he was still shameless and walked up to Yu Li, trying to make a last-ditch effort to persuade Yu Li not to divorce him.
The result was a scolding. Yu Li had clearly seen the true face of the Yan family, so naturally she would not place her youth on the Yan family.
During the pull between Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng, a button of her clothes was torn open, her hair was messy, and her face was covered with tears.
Wang Weidong walked up to Yu Li and said with a smile: "Comrade Yu Li, if you go back to your natal family like this, your natal family will definitely be worried about you. Why don't you come to my house? I have a sewing machine at home and let my cousin sew the clothes for you." .”
"Okay, thank you, Director Liu." Yu Li nodded.
At this time, her heart was full of gratitude to Wang Weidong. If it weren't for Liu Hongchang today, according to the Yan family's rogue temperament, it would be almost impossible for her to leave the Yan family.
The Yan family is a big family in the courtyard. Yan Bugui is the third uncle and a people's teacher with high prestige. The Yan family also has a large population. These days, with more people, they speak in a higher tone. Most people really don't dare to give Yan a Bu Gui is against.
Guan Tingting had arrived at this time and was about to cook. When she saw Wang Weidong and Yu Li entering the yard, she frowned vaguely, but she hid her emotions well immediately.
He walked out with a smile on his face, glanced at Yu Li, and then looked at Wang Weidong: "Brother Hong Chang, this is..."
"Yu Li was beaten by Yan Jiecheng just now..." Wang Weidong recounted what had just happened.
Yu Li bit her lip and lowered her head: "Comrade Guan, I'm really sorry for disturbing you because of my affairs. If it's inconvenient, I can go to my sister's house and mend the clothes."
It has to be said that women have a magical sixth sense. Although Guan Tingting's hostility was well hidden, Yu Li was still aware of it.
After listening to Wang Weidong's words, Guan Tingting understood the whole process and breathed a sigh of relief.
Regarding Yu Li's experience, as a woman, she also felt distressed.
He stepped forward and took Yu Li's arm, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? How can you go out like this? I'm going to set up the sewing machine now. I guess I can sew it for you in less than two minutes."
"Thank you so much, Comrade Guan."
.....
The two of them talked and entered the back room.
Wang Weidong scratched his head helplessly when he saw that the eucalyptus board in the kitchen was filled with dishes being prepared.
Okay, let me cook tonight!
Since Wang Weidong became the factory director, he rarely cooks due to his busy work.
However, the foundation of his cooking skills is still there. After seven or eight years as a chef in the Ningzhou State-owned Canteen, coupled with systematic support, his cooking skills have already reached their peak.
In just a moment, a table of dishes was ready.
Vinegar braised fatty intestines, spicy and sour Chinese cabbage, Sixi meatballs, short crispy pork, and braised pork ribs.
At this time, Yu Li's clothes had been mended and her face was clean. Her eyes widened as she looked at the rich dishes on the table.
Except for Chinese cabbage, all are meat dishes! What kind of person can do such evil?
Well, Liu Hongchang is the director of a large factory and has been in the newspapers, so forget it, this table of food is nothing.
Yu Li took her eyes away from the table and looked at Wang Weidong sheepishly.
"Director Liu, I have delayed your meal. Thank you so much for today. I will go home quickly and won't disturb you anymore."
Wang Weidong washed his hands in the basin brought by Guan Tingting, wiped them with a towel and said with a smile: "It's getting late now, it's just time for dinner. Your parents' home must be some distance away from here. Wait until you arrive." My mother’s family probably won’t have any food, so why not stay here and eat some.”
"This, I'm so sorry. I've already troubled you a lot today. It would be too embarrassing if I stay for dinner any longer." Yu Li quickly waved her hand to refuse.

Although she lives in poverty, she is indeed a woman with ambition and will not accept favors from others for no reason.
Yu Li's performance made Wang Weidong have a good impression of her.
In the original work, most of the people in the courtyard are beasts, and only a few women can be called good people.
For example, Lou Xiao'e, He Yuyu, Yu Li.
Lou Xiao'e and He Yuyu later fled the courtyard for various reasons.
Only Yu Li persisted until the end in the beast's den in the courtyard.
Moreover, she also made considerable achievements.
