Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

"Zhu Zi, it's time to get off work. Let's go together. Let's go home and have a drink."

After get off work, Xu Fugui came to the kitchen and invited He Yuzhu.

Yi Zhonghai and three others were punished. It was such a happy thing, how could we not celebrate.

But He Yuzhu couldn't attend. His job at the steel mill was to cook. In addition to breakfast, he also had to prepare lunch and dinner.

He had no free time until the Soviet experts left.

"Uncle Xu, I still have to cook for the Su country experts."

Xu Fugui then remembered that He Yuzhu had to work overtime: "I was so excited that I forgot about this matter. If you don't go back to the courtyard, you won't be able to watch Lao Yi and the others' excitement."

He Yuzhu thought, what's the point of watching such a commotion? With Yi Zhonghai's character, he would definitely cause trouble for him. It was almost as if he had missed the opportunity to teach Yi Zhonghai a lesson.

"Uncle Xu, you better be careful! Yi Zhonghai likes to push the responsibility onto others. If you act too happy, he might cause trouble for you."

Xu Fugui snorted: "If he has the guts, just come. Do you think I'm afraid of him?"

This statement is not wrong.

Yi Zhonghai's ability alone is indeed not enough to deal with Xu Fugui.

Although Yi Zhonghai is a smooth talker, Xu Fugui is no pushover.

The one who really influenced the balance of power between the two was the deaf old lady. Relying on her age and her relationship with Director Pan, the deaf old lady showed off her power in the courtyard.

Xu Fugui has a dirty mind and doesn't dare to provoke the deaf old lady.

"Even if we are not afraid, there is no need for us to be like him and do evil things all day long, right?"

Xu Fugui also thought of the deaf old lady. He felt a little uneasy. After hearing what He Yuzhu said, he immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "You are right. We really don't need to be like them. But Zhuzi, you should be the most careful.

He did that at noon, it was obvious that he was targeting you, but he didn't expect to run into Big Zhu and suffer a loss."

He Yuzhu sneered: "Of course I know they are targeting me. If I hadn't been working overtime, I would have gone back and taught them a lesson.

They deserved it. Others put down their bowls and scolded the cook, but they started scolding the cook before they even started eating. If I don’t punish them, who should I punish?”

Xu Fugui rolled his eyes and felt that what He Yuzhu said was right.

"I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go back and spread the word about them scolding the cook for not having eaten."

He Yuzhu called him from behind: "Tell Yushui to play at Li's house for a while and don't run around."

Xu Fugui didn't even stop and left quickly.

As for Yi Zhonghai, however, there was no way they could leave so early. They still had work tasks to complete.

Liu Haizhong was easy to deal with, as he could assign tasks to his apprentice even if they were needed. But Yi Zhonghai was in a dilemma, as his only apprentice was not reliable and was waiting for his help.

This gave Xu Fugui plenty of time.

He rode his bicycle back to the courtyard and pulled Xu Damao away from Qin Huairu.

"You little brat, be quiet. Didn't you see how big Qin Huairu's belly is?"

Xu Damao didn't dare to admit it and said in defense: "Dad, what are you talking about? I was just passing by and was stopped by Sister Qin, so I talked to him for a while."

No one knows a son better than his father, and Xu Damao's behavior was taught by Xu Fugui.

Xu Fugui did not expose him and said, "I have my reasons for asking you to avoid Qin Huairu. Let me tell you, Jia Dongxu has had half a month's salary deducted.

The Jia family will be making trouble again in the next two days, so don't cause any trouble for me."

Xu Damao was a man who loved to watch the fun and chased after Xu Fugui to ask what happened.

Xu Fugui told him about it and arranged for him to go out and help promote Yi Zhonghai and others.

Xu Damao was very familiar with this little matter. He asked Xu Fugui for two dollars and went out to do his job.

Soon, word spread on the street that Yi Zhonghai and his companions had started cursing the cook before even eating.

As the steel mill went off work and the workers went home, the story was confirmed and spread even more widely.

Those who don't know He Yuzhu think that Yi Zhonghai and his people deserved it. They scolded the chef and said that they were looked down upon for not stirring the wok for him. Those who know He Yuzhu think that Yi Zhonghai and his people have no memory. They were taught a lesson by He Yuzhu so many times, and I heard that he was slapped a lot, but they still dared to call him "silly Zhu".

Anyway, there are few people who say good things about them.

This is different from the original.

At that time, all the bad reputation was borne by Shazhu.

When people in the alley mention Yi Zhonghai, everyone will give him a thumbs up. He is an eighth-level worker in the steel rolling mill, respects the deaf old lady, and helps the needy neighbors in the yard. With the publicity of caring people, everyone regards Yi Zhonghai as a good person.

The Siheyuan was under their strict control, and those things that damaged their reputation would not be spread. Those fence-sitters in the courtyard did not dare to tell their relatives when they suffered losses.

Anyone who dares to say that will forget about staying in Siheyuan.

The Siheyuan cannot accommodate you, and I am not kidding.

They don't have the power to drive people away, but they can isolate you in all aspects.

There were troublemakers in Siheyuan before, but they were all defeated by his tactics. They either kowtowed and admitted defeat, or slipped away in disgrace.

It's not easy to slip away.

At that time, buying and selling houses was not allowed. If you wanted a house, you had to apply through the street office or the factory.

At the street office, the deaf old lady deceived Director Wang, saying that if he said something bad, he would forget about getting a good house.

There is a lot of competition in the factory. If they say someone is not respectful to the elderly, they can ruin their reputation.

If you have a bad reputation, don't even think about getting a good house.

They use both literary and martial methods. Under their all-round attack, ordinary people are simply unable to cope with it.

With the blessing of civilized courtyards for many consecutive years, Yi Zhonghai's image as a good man has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

If anyone said anything bad about Yi Zhonghai in the alley, they would be criticized.

It is impossible for Yi Zhonghai to achieve that kind of prestige now.

The only thing that made him great was that he took care of the deaf old lady. And even this was not perfect. He Yuzhu had repeatedly brought up the fact that he forced others to honor the deaf old lady.

It was because the deaf old lady always stood by his side that he did not lose this halo.

Yan Bugui was guarding the door, so he naturally got the news.

"Old Liu, is what people say outside true?"

Liu Haizhong had a gloomy face all the way back to the courtyard, and was blocked by Yan Bugui, which made him even more angry.

"They are all talking nonsense. Others may not know who the Shazhu we are calling is, but don't you know?"

Yan Bugui shrank his head in fear: "Old Liu, don't be impulsive. Have you forgotten that Shazhu has changed? In the past, if you called him Shazhu, at most he would be called stupid. Now it's different. If he hears it, he will slap you in the face."

Liu Haizhong regained some clarity of mind, but also felt a little scared. He didn't want to admit defeat, so he said, "Lao Yi and Dong Xu can shout, so why can't I?"

Yan Bugui looked at him like a fool: "You forgot about the beatings they received. If I remember correctly, Sha Zhu said that he would slap Jia Dongxu twice a day."

Liu Haizhong finally came to his senses and said nervously, "I am his elder, how dare he do that."

Yan Bugui thought, you've been beaten so many times, yet you still don't learn your lesson. He didn't feel like reminding Liu Haizhong.

"Is it true that you were punished?"

Liu Haizhong nodded helplessly. There was no way to hide this matter, and many people knew about it.

What made him angry was why did he scold the cook just because he hadn't eaten.

Also, some people actually dug up old things and mentioned that He Yuzhu supported him in the past.

Now people outside say that he is an ungrateful person who can never be tamed.

If the street office knew about this, how could he still be the boss? (End of this chapter)
