Xu Damao and Yan Bugui did not expect Liu Haizhong to take the initiative to help Yu Qiuhua, and were stunned for a moment.
Liu Haizhong was overjoyed when he saw the dull expressions of the two of them. This effect was what he needed. As long as he could help Yu Qiuhua overturn the case today, he would be able to rise again in the future and regain control of the courtyard.
Liu Haizhong rolled his eyes and decided to pursue the victory. He walked slowly among the residents, with his hands behind his back, standing out arrogantly and with authority: "Everyone, we are all neighbors in the same compound. The street office Director Wang once taught us that we should help each other and not frame each other. When we encounter problems, we should resolve them calmly instead of blaming each other."
"It is indeed inappropriate for Yu Qiuhua to ask for He Wenhui's house today, but we should forgive Yu Qiuhua with a broad mind instead of forcing him here."
After the words fell, the residents of the courtyard all looked at a loss.
Is the fat guy in front of me really the seventh-level blacksmith with bangs?
Liu Haizhong always showed off his fierceness in the past. He would even walk in a rough manner in the courtyard, and he would usually ignore the residents.
Residents in the courtyard house all know that once the matchmaking fire at home is extinguished, even if they light the fire themselves, they will not go to Liu Haizhong's house to burn briquettes.
Once, the children of the Zhou family, who lived next door to Liu Haizhong's house, came home one day and saw that the coal stove was out, and the adults in the family were not at home, so they decided to light the coal stove by themselves.
Because Liu Haizhong lived next door to Zhou's house, and the door happened to be open, the unlucky boy wandered over to Liu's house carrying briquettes.
As a result, as soon as he entered the door, Liu Haizhong saw that he was going to burn coal, so he directly picked up his collar and threw him out. The reason was simple. Liu Haizhong felt that burning coal briquettes was a waste of his own briquettes.
Such a person, now in front of the residents, openly expressed his love for his neighbors.
Just ridiculous.
Xu Damao has been silent since Liu Haizhong jumped out. It's not that he is afraid of Liu Haizhong, it's just because he didn't understand Liu Haizhong's intention clearly.
Now after listening to Liu Haizhong's long speech, Xu Damao's heart skipped a beat and his eyes turned cold.
The guy with bangs has realized the seriousness of the problem and started looking for a remedy.
If Liu Haizhong regains the respect of the residents, then nothing will happen to him.
Of course Xu Damao couldn't let him succeed.
After thinking about it, Xu Damao took a deep breath, walked slowly to Liu Haizhong, and said with a straight face: "Comrade Liu Haizhong, what you just said does make some sense, but you have to understand that the reason why residents help each other is It is based on mutual support. When has Yu Qiuhua helped other residents in the compound?"
Hearing this, Liu Haizhong's face suddenly turned livid. He quickly cast his eyes on Yu Qiuhua, who was standing next to him, and said in a low voice: "Aunt Yu, it's been a long time since you moved to the courtyard. You must have been here before." You’ve helped the residents in the courtyard, right?”
"I should have helped." Yu Qiuhua nodded subconsciously.
The bangs center was overjoyed and asked quickly: "What is it? Hurry up and tell me!"
As long as Yu Qiuhua can tell one thing, then they will definitely win this time.
Yu Qiuhua raised his eyelids and thought for a long time, but found nothing and could only hesitate.
"Speak up quickly!" Liu Haizhong urged.
Yu Qiuhua was forced to panic and glared at him and said: "No, can't you help me?!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Haizhong's face suddenly turned pale.
Even if he tried his best to deceive the residents of the courtyard, there was nothing he could do about Yu Qiuhua who never helped his neighbors.
Seeing this situation, Xu Damao snorted coldly: "Liu Haizhong, have you seen it? Do people like this who never help others deserve forgiveness?"
Liu Haizhong drooped his head and remained silent. It wasn't that he didn't work hard, it was because his teammates were too bad to lead him.
Today's matter was not to deal with Liu Haizhong, so Xu Damao gave him a few words of training and then targeted Yu Qiuhua.
"Yu Qiuhua, you robbed He Wenhui's house and severely damaged the atmosphere of unity and friendship in our courtyard, so you now need to apologize to He Wenhui and all the residents in the courtyard!"
When Yu Qiuhua heard this, his face turned livid.
Under normal circumstances, when she is caught doing bad things, she doesn't mind apologizing. Anyway, it is just a verbal apology and cannot cause any substantial harm to her.
but.
The person standing opposite was her daughter He Wenhui.
As a mother, how could she apologize to her daughter? Isn't this similar to forcing her to slap her face hard in front of a big guy?
If this matter spreads out, will she still have the dignity to live in the compound in the future?
Thinking of this, Yu Qiuhua took a deep breath and turned to look at Xu Damao: "Xu Damao, you asked me to apologize to the residents of the courtyard. I don't think it's okay. I will apologize immediately, but can you not let me apologize to He Wenhui? "
"No, the main person you hurt this time is He Wenhui!" Xu Damao's tone was cold.
Seeing that Xu Damao had no way to persuade Yu Qiuhua, he could only grit his teeth and walk to He Wenhui, lowering his voice and said: "He Wenhui, I am your mother, and now you want me to apologize to you, aren't you afraid of being punished by God? ?”
In the past, He Wenhui would have bowed her head by now, but Yu Qiuhua broke her heart time and time again, and she had nothing to do with Yu Qiuhua.
He Wenhui glanced sideways at Yu Qiuhua and said lightly: "Yu Qiuhua, we have severed our relationship long ago. You are not my mother, and I am not your daughter. Now that you have done something wrong, why Why can’t you apologize?”
call.
Yu Qiuhua felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and her whole body couldn't help but sway. She seemed to see the endless darkness around her crowding towards her, wrapping her tightly, and the surrounding air became solid. When he got up, Yu Qiuhua could hardly breathe.
She took several deep breaths and finally recovered. She pointed at He Wenhui's nose with trembling fingers and said, "He Wenhui, you, you, you."
Seeing that Yu Qiuhua was still playing tricks, Xu Damao couldn't help it: "Yu Qiuhua, you should apologize to He Wenhui right now. If you don't apologize, you can go to the street with me to do it now."
“It’s late at night and there’s no one at the street office.”
Yu Qiuhua was still thinking of a few words to argue when Xu Damao shouted loudly. She trembled with fright and quickly looked at He Wenhui and said: "He Wenhui, I'm really sorry, I shouldn't be greedy for your house. , please forgive me this time."
He Wenhui looked at Yu Qiuhua's embarrassed appearance, and felt an uncontrollable sense of joy in her heart.
Over the years, no matter how much Yu Qiuhua abused her, he never apologized to her.
Today Yu Qiuhua finally lowered his proud head.
He Wenhui knew that in all this, it looked like Yan Bugui and Xu Damao were helping, but in fact it was Liu Hongchang standing behind them.
Without Liu Hongchang, Xu Damao would never be so active.
She also wanted to express her gratitude to Liu Hongchang, but Liu Hongchang had not returned to the courtyard at all these days, and He Wenhui did not have the courage to go to the Lanhua Automobile Factory, so she could only bury this gratitude deep in her heart.
The farce finally ended after wasting half an hour for the residents.
As the victorious party, Xu Damao and Yan Bugui met back to Xu Damao's house and had a drink.
After a few drinks, the relationship between the two became much closer.
Yan Bugui picked up the wine glass and looked at Xu Damao with a smile: "Xu Damao, after this incident, that guy in Liu Haizhong will probably be kicked out of the position of second uncle soon. What do you think about the future development of our courtyard?" idea."
Looking at the proud Yan Bugui, how could Xu Damao not understand his thoughts.
This old guy wants to take advantage of the remaining power of this conference to take over the position of second master of the courtyard.
but.
The reason why Yu Qiuhua was able to be dealt with this time was that he, Xu Damao, was the biggest contributor, not Yan Bugui.
Xu Damao picked up his wine glass and had a drink with Yan Bugui. After drinking it down, he said calmly: "Third uncle, I think it's good for you to be the third uncle."
Seeing Yan Bugui's face darken, Xu Damao explained slowly: "You see, the situation in our courtyard is quite special. The first uncle is the director of Lanhua Automobile Factory. He is usually busy with work and can't take care of things in the courtyard. , so the second uncle with the second overall pick must step up."
As he spoke, Xu Damao stared at Yan Bugui and said, "Old Yan, do you think you are qualified for this position?"
Yan Bugui suddenly fell silent.
Even though he has been the third uncle for so many years, it is actually just a match. In the past, the real managers of the courtyard were Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong. When Yi Zhonghai was ousted, the people who managed the courtyard were Wang Weidong and the junior steward Xu Damao.
Although he bears the title of Third Master, what he really does is just break the gong during every meeting. On weekdays, he is mainly responsible for recycling waste cardboard in the compound.
If he really wanted to stand up and deal with the thorns in the courtyard, he really couldn't do it.
Take tonight for example, if Xu Damao hadn't stepped forward, he would have been helpless against Yu Qiuhua.
Yan Bugui's biggest characteristic is that he is very good at reviewing himself. After thinking about it, he picked up the wine glass and touched it to Xu Damao.
"Da Mao, you are right to remind me, but after all, I am the third uncle of the courtyard. According to the rules, I should be promoted to the second uncle. Since you want me to give up this position now, should you make some compensation to me?"
Seeing that Yan Bugui had said it all, Xu Damao stopped hiding it. He pondered for a moment and said, "Third Master, from now on I will give you all my scraps!"
Hearing this, Yan Bugui almost jumped up with excitement: "Really?"
After getting Xu Damao's affirmative answer, Yan Bugui said in his heart that he had made a fortune.
Xu Damao is the richest family in the courtyard, and he is the one who can afford toilet paper. All the waste paper and cardboard he usually has are sold to junk shops.
Yan Bugui inquired about it and found that it could be sold for 20 cents a month!
This means that from now on, Yan Bugui will be able to earn an extra two cents in salary every month!
Yan Bugui and Xu Damao reached an agreement here, and the room was filled with joy and laughter.
The world is never fair. Some people are happy while others are sad.
For example, the atmosphere of Yu Qiuhua's family in the reverse house is very bleak.
He Wenyuan frowned and sighed: "Damn Xu Damao, if he hadn't stopped us, we would have had one more room this time."
"Yes, if we can have an extra room, we can rent it out, and we won't have to be temporary workers." He Wenda nodded in agreement.
He was working in the briquette factory and was exhausted every day. He really didn't want to go there anymore.
"What can I do? That girl He Wenhui has disowned us a long time ago. Didn't you see that she dared to ask me to apologize to her in front of so many people tonight and embarrass me? In this case, It will be almost impossible for us to seize her house again."
Yu Qiuhua lay on the bed and sighed.
Even though He Wenyuan and He Wenda were always chatting with each other, when it came to serious matters, they had no idea and would just blame each other.
The only strategy Yu Qiuhua could adopt was to manipulate He Wenhui. Now that He Wenhui didn't listen to her, she was blinded.
Just when the family was at a loss what to do, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it? It's so late and you're still not sleeping!"
He Wenyuan stood up with a curse, walked over and opened the door.
When she saw the person standing outside the door, her expression suddenly turned ugly.
"Second uncle, why are you here?"
Liu Haizhong was furious when he saw He Wenyuan's glaring look. However, in order to realize his big plan, he could only squeeze out a smile: "He Wenyuan, is your mother at home?"
"Here I am, getting ready to go to bed. Come in first."
Yu Qiuhua had already heard the sound from Liu Haizhong, and hurriedly put on his shoes and came to the main room, greeting him with a smile.
She knew that almost all the residents in the courtyard were hostile to her, and the only one willing to lend a helping hand to her family was Liu Haizhong.
Yu Qiuhua picked up the hot water bottle, poured an enamel jar of tea into Liu Haizhong and handed it over. He asked with a smile: "Second uncle, it's so late. What's the matter with you coming to my house?"
She knows that Liu Haizhong is not the kind of old woman who hangs around with nothing to do, and it is almost past ten o'clock in the evening, and most residents go to bed early.
Liu Haizhong came to the door at this time, and he must have something important to say.
Yu Qiuhua didn't hesitate and asked directly: "Liu Haizhong, just tell me if you have anything to do. If you want to laugh at us, you can go back now."
"Scoffing? How is this possible!"
Liu Haizhong picked up the enamel jar, took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Yu Qiuhua, haven't you understood? Now in the entire courtyard, I am the only one who can help you."
"Stop talking nonsense, weren't you still abused at the conference just now?" Yu Qiuhua said disdainfully.
Liu Haizhong's face turned red from the slap, and he felt his heart pounding. If he hadn't been able to use Yu Qiuhua now, he would have turned around and left.
Liu Haizhong took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a smile: "Yu Qiuhua, do you hate Yan Bu Gui?" (End of Chapter)
