Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

As Cai Quanwu pushed his bicycle into the central courtyard, he immediately saw an old lady washing dishes by the sink.

An old lady heard the noise and turned to look at Cai Quanwu. When she saw it was Cai Quanwu, her face changed and she quickly looked away.

Cai Quanwu didn't care about the change in the aunt's expression. Many people in the hospital believed that it was he who reported Yi Zhonghai. As Yi Zhonghai's wife, it would be strange for her to have a good expression.

After walking to the door of his house and parking his bicycle, Cai Quanwu opened the door and went in.

"You are such a villain, you should get your retribution soon."

When Cai Quanwu entered the house, the old lady spat in his direction, cursed at him, picked up the washed dishes and walked home.

When they got home, the aunt put the dishes in the cupboard and muttered to Yi Zhonghai who was sitting there smoking:

"Everyone in the hospital suspected that it was Cai who reported you, but you are still trying to make excuses for him. I really don't know what you are thinking."

"There are so many people in the hospital but they are not as smart as you?"

Today, when Yi Zhonghai came back, an aunt told him what she heard in the courtyard that some people suspected that Cai Quanwu had reported Yi Zhonghai.

After listening to this, Yi Zhonghai directly denied this statement and said with certainty that it was not Cai Quanwu who reported it. This made the aunt so angry that she didn't want to talk to him.

Seeing the lady bringing up the matter again, Yi Zhonghai threw his cigarette butt under his feet and stomped it out, then patiently explained:

"Wife, didn't I tell you that those rumors are just for listening and should not be taken seriously?"

"It's like the rumor in the courtyard is that I forced the Jia family to leave. Is that true?"

"If you say that the Jia family's move is related to the surname Cai, I'm a little convinced. After all, the surname Cai is good at deceiving people."

"As for reporting me, Cai is so smart, how could he do such a thankless task?"

After learning that he was reported by someone, Yi Zhonghai kept wondering who reported him.

According to his habitual thinking, he first suspected Tsai Quanwu, but after some analysis, he ruled out Tsai Quanwu as a suspect.

This kind of unfounded report is easy to clarify.

My reputation is already bad, and this kind of report will only disgust me and have little other effect.

Given Cai Quanwu's cleverness, Yi Zhonghai felt that he would not be so naive as to do something that would harm others and benefit himself.

"If it's not Cai, then who else could it be? You are the one with the surname Cai in the hospital who is most at odds with you. Cai won't do thankless work, so will anyone else do such a thankless work?"

The old lady now hates Cai Quanwu from the bottom of her heart and has formed a fixed impression of him. Combined with the rumors in the hospital, she is convinced that Cai Quanwu was the one who did it.

"Wife, you know what, there are people in the hospital who often do thankless tasks."

After the aunt finished complaining, Yi Zhonghai spoke slowly.

When the aunt heard this, she frowned and thought about the person Yi Zhonghai was talking about.

After thinking for a long time, the aunt said hesitantly: "You don't suspect the backyard..."

The old lady only said half of her words and didn't finish the rest.

However, Yi Zhonghai knew who the lady was talking about and nodded slightly.

Yi Zhonghai went through all the people in the hospital who might report him in his mind and felt that this possibility was the most likely.

After I got out, this person has been taking advantage of me more than once or twice, so it was only natural for him to report me.

Not to mention, you can also show off in front of your leaders.

However, without any evidence, and as Yi Zhonghai did not want to cause any more trouble, he could only swallow his anger.

"Is it really him?" asked the aunt uncertainly.

"It doesn't matter whether it is true or not. Anyway, we probably can't stay in this hospital any longer."

Yi Zhonghai did not directly answer the old lady, but raised a very realistic question.

If he continues to live in the courtyard, most people will probably suspect him if anything happens in the courtyard.

Whoever made him have a bad reputation deserves to be accused.

Yi Zhonghai, who had lived through the war years, understood human nature very well, and he didn't want to be reported every other day.

As for crying out for injustice?

Haha, why didn’t he report others but you? Don’t you need to reflect on yourself?

"Old Yi, do you want to move out?"

The meaning of Yi Zhonghai's words was so obvious that the old lady naturally understood it.

"Well, I didn't have this idea before, but now the Jia family's move has inspired me."

"If you live in a courtyard house, you will probably be reported by others in the future."

"Instead of doing this, I might as well file a report with the street office and move out to live behind closed doors. At least this way, no one will report me for no reason."

Yi Zhonghai thinks a lot.

While he was in the hospital, not only were the ordinary residents disliked him, but the two managers, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, were also wary of him.

After all, he used to be a boss, and the two of them were probably afraid that he would turn the tables one day and suppress them again.

After hearing what she said, the aunt thought about it and felt that Yi Zhonghai's idea was indeed a good one. It might be a good thing for them to move out.

Over the past six months, she has endured a lot of strange looks from others in the hospital.

Moving to an unfamiliar environment where everyone is unfamiliar, they can live their own lives behind closed doors without having to endure so many strange looks like they would in a courtyard house.

However, it is not so easy to move out. At least the street office needs to agree.

"Lao Yi, will the street committee agree to let us move out?" an old lady asked the question in her mind.

"It's definitely not possible now. We have to take our time. During this period, I will be more positive and try to leave a good impression on the street first."

"Wait until the impression of the street has changed a little, then bring up the matter again, and try to get the street to coordinate and see if anyone is willing to change houses."

"Our house can accommodate four or five people. I think there will be families with housing shortages who would like to change houses."

"It's just that we might suffer a little loss, and the house we get in return will definitely be much smaller."

Yi Zhonghai told an old lady about his plan.

Their house is not small, so changing houses is very tempting for families with housing shortages.

"It doesn't matter if we suffer a little loss. After all, there are only two of us, so it doesn't matter if the house is small."

The auntie didn't think it was a big deal. You want to move out, but who would be willing to exchange houses with you if they don't suffer a loss?

……

Time flies, and everything will fade away slowly in time.

The same thing happened with the Jia family's move and someone reporting Yi Zhonghai. Not long after, they were forgotten by everyone.

Because there are fresher and more worthy topics to discuss.

Recently, the wage grading and assessment work has gradually been rolled out, and many units have re-graded their wages.

Cai Quanwu and their food system are no exception.

As Cai Quan had expected, both he and Xiao Wu were given the lowest salary level, but the salary remained similar to before.

Guan Jiaqi was also assigned a grade, and her salary was about the same as Cai Quanwu and Xiao Wu.

After being reminded by Cai Quanwu, Sha Zhu did not take the assessment at the factory, but went to the street to sign up for the assessment and got a level six rating.

With this rating, I took it to the factory, and they finally accepted it, designated me as a level 6 chef, and increased my salary significantly.

This made Shazhu happy for several days.

His salary used to be lower than his wife's, but it made him lose face.

Now that my salary is higher than Xiao Wu's, I speak a little louder.

When someone is happy, someone else is sad.

The second uncle is the one who is more lost.

I thought that after the technical assessment, I would be able to get the salary of a level 6 worker.

In the actual operation assessment, the second uncle did indeed perform very well.

Who knew that in the cultural assessment, the second uncle performed very poorly. All in all, he was only rated as a fifth-level worker.

When this matter spread to the whole courtyard, everyone made fun of the second uncle for a long time.

During that period, the "singing voices" of the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu could be heard from the second uncle's house every day.
