The conspiracy of the courtyard

Lu Zixuan speculated in his mind, "I guess it's because you didn't see that He Yushui was not excited when she mentioned the dinner party? Look at the other people in the courtyard, their eyes are shining."

I guess Lu Zhihai will soon come after you. Just now I recalled the look in Yi Zhonghai's eyes that day. It was full of greed, envy, and some hatred.

Maybe he thinks you are too brilliant and he is afraid that he won't be able to suppress you in the future. 】

[We are now surrounded by wolves. Yi Zhonghai is preparing to suppress us, Yan Bugui is preparing to retaliate against us, and the knife they are going to use is Lu Zhihai.

It would be better if he was smarter and didn't fall into the trap, but I think it's difficult. According to what you said, he never considered you as a family member, so he would only add insult to injury, and he might have bad intentions. 】

[When I first came here, I thought he was just a cunning person, but after recalling his various behaviors during this period, it seems that this guy is quite vicious.

Mom, we have to quickly finalize the house and job issues, so that this knife won’t be useful. Don’t tell him about the breakup yet. 】

[He will definitely come to you after get off work today to put pressure on you. If you do this...]

At noon, in the cafeteria of Lou’s Steel Plant, Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu and Lu Zhihai, the master and his apprentice, prepared their meals and chatted while eating.

While talking about technology, Yi Zhonghai suddenly changed the subject: "Zhihai, has your wife been to school? I see that she speaks very well."

"She didn't go to school, but she studied with a private school teacher for two years. During the famine, she saved a teacher and learned some writing and accounting.

But she has almost forgotten everything. I asked her to write a letter for me, but she could only recognize many words but not write them, so she was only at a disadvantage when it came to talking," Lu Zhihai said disparagingly.

"Well, I see that she has a lot of words in her mouth. Logically, there are some things I shouldn't say, but after all, I am your elder. I can't say I can help you, but at least I can't let you go astray.

You were there yesterday, too. Look at what she said. Why did she ask you to kowtow to Old Yan? Isn't it better for a woman to do housework at home? Look how embarrassed Old Yan was yesterday.

We all live in the same courtyard, and you all live in the front courtyard. How awkward is that? How are we going to talk to each other when we meet in the future? We are all neighbors, and it is not certain who will need whom in the future. Don’t take things too far.”

"I think we should not invite them for dinner. If you invite the workshop director, there will be some benefits. But if you invite a bunch of neighbors, then it will be a waste of time, right?

You should give the meal money to Old Yan, apologize, and say that young people have a bad temper, and that's it. If things don't work out, I'm still here. I don't believe that Old Yan dares not give me face.

Besides, Old Yan's family didn't do anything wrong. It's just some flour, isn't it? I'll go to Master's house and get you some next time. It's not a big deal. Old Yan will still remember your kindness. Isn't it? "Yi Zhonghai was fooling Lu Zhihai.

Lu Zhihai gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it. It's indeed a bit of a loss to treat the neighbors to a meal. Let me ask her to get the money back first. The more I think about it, the more I feel that it's a loss. This wasteful thing, let alone whether to return it or not, I have to get it back first."

"Well, that's fine. At least we can't be fools. We pay money to make everyone happy. It's really a loss." Yi Zhonghai seconded. Then he continued:

"Yeah, isn't this obviously being made a fool? There must be someone who instigated this, is it He Daqing? His family is taking advantage everywhere, it must be He Daqing."

Lu Zhihai thought so too, it seemed that only his family was benefiting the most, that wouldn't work, so the two of them made a plan and asked Chen Ping to ask He Daqing for money after get off work.

In a blink of an eye, Lu Zhihai returned home from get off work and saw that Chen Ping had not cooked, so he asked, "Why didn't you cook today?"

"What should I cook when it's not dinner time? Haven't you been eating at home? Are you eating at home today? Fine, I'll cook. What are you going to eat?" Chen Ping deliberately asked in a roundabout way.

Lu Zhihai said with a flattering smile: "Forget about it if you didn't do it. I want to tell you something. I thought about it carefully today. Why should we invite the whole hospital to dinner?

It would be better to invite our workshop director to dinner. At least he can let me do some light work. It's also okay to invite my master. It's not a big deal to invite the neighbors to dinner, don't you think?

So I have decided, you go find He Daqing and ask for the money back, we won’t invite this guest anymore.”

Chen Ping asked: "We are not inviting the whole hospital to dinner. What right do I have to ask for money? You decide? Who can you decide for?"

Lu Zhihai also asked puzzledly: "Ah? Yes, it's not our money, huh? What's going on? It's different from the master's analysis."

"What did your master analyze with you? Let me listen. If he is right, I must go and get it back. We can't suffer any loss." Chen Ping asked in a puzzled manner.

Lu Zhihai then told Yi Zhonghai everything he had said at noon. As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open with a loud bang.

Lu Zixuan was frightened and Chen Ping was not happy. He immediately shouted

"I say, are you city people so rude? Who are you? You just push the door and walk in? Have you ever been to school? Didn't your teacher teach you to knock on the door? I don't care if you go to other people's homes, but you have to knock on the door first when you come to our house.

If you don’t know, go back and ask your mother. Look how scared our child is. Lu Zhihai, get out. You are not allowed to go home until you go to bed."

Lu Zhihai also felt that he had indeed scared the child, so he gave him an apologetic look, pulled Jia Dongxu out and said, "This is my senior brother, let's talk outside."

The two went straight to Yi Zhonghai's house.

Lu Zixuan likes to stir up trouble [The sex scene is coming, Mom, let's go, it's time for us to find our allies]

Chen Ping also walked towards the backyard holding Lu Zixuan. She was not far away from Lu Zhihai and heard it literally. Yi Zhonghai asked Jia Dongxu to discuss something with them, but Lu Zhihai said that Chen Ping was not needed.

Chen Ping also found Wu Guihua holding Lu Zixuan. When she heard that Yi Zhonghai had instigated Lu Zhihai to ask He Daqing for money, she knew that this was not possible because there were also his family matters to deal with. She urgently contacted everyone in the courtyard and sent them to Yi Zhonghai's house.

When they got to the door, they shouted directly: "Lao Yi, come out for a moment, we have something to talk to you about."

Yi Zhonghai opened the door and came out with his two disciples. He was also shocked when he saw so many people. He shook for a moment and said calmly:

"Everyone, why are you all gathered at our door? What's going on?"

Wu Guihua asked, "Old Yi, did you ask Lu Zhihai to tell Chen Ping to ask He Daqing to return the money for the dinner for the whole hospital? He said that it was too much of a loss to treat the neighbors, so why not treat you and the workshop director?"

Yi Zhonghai panicked and quickly denied it, “No, I told him to get the money back and return it to Old Yan. We are neighbors, don’t do anything too embarrassing.”

Chen Ping immediately came out to refute: "No," and then repeated what Lu Zhihai said

"If either of us tells a lie, we will have no descendants. Do you dare?"

Of course Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to do that. Not to mention that he did say it, he wouldn't swear even if he didn't. He could only bow his head and admit it.
