The conspiracy of the courtyard

Chen Ping seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, alarm bells were ringing. How could Jia Zhang be as unreasonable and scoundrel as her son described in the story? She was clearly a cunning person.

So he raised his guard and said expressionlessly:

"Aunt Jia, do you think I needed help from others during these battles with Yi Zhonghai? Did I suffer any loss? What are you talking about? The government gives out welfare benefits because it sympathizes with the hard work of grassroots workers. Do you think it's for free?

Just last month, a clerk from our street office went to a textile factory to promote the improvement of women's status and was beaten up by male employees. You know, it's not that easy to get it. You, don't just look at the surface."

Seeing that no matter how she tried to persuade him, Jia Zhang decided to take the risk and directly threatened

"Chen Ping, don't think that you can erase the fact that you were Lu Zhihai's mistress just because you went to work at the street office. Lu Zhihai has already said that you were eager to be his mistress, and he was already married and had a daughter.

Even if you are not a concubine, your reason for coming to the city is untenable. If you give up the benefits of white flour, I will not threaten you anymore. It is good for you, me, and everyone.

Otherwise, I will definitely report you for not only being a mistress, but also having an illegitimate child. Do you think you can keep your job? Just go back to the countryside. Haha."

Chen Ping snorted coldly and said:

"Ms. Jia Zhang, do you think this is a handle? Do you think anyone will believe what you say? I advise you not to listen to one-sided words. Why do you think Lu Zhihai told you all this? He dared to tell others about his bigamy? Is he looking for death?

Do you think I can make your precious son leave the steel mill on his own initiative? Do you think I will spread the news that your precious son was set on a hawk by the bandits?

Or do you want to see if I dare to let your daughter-in-law serve her sentence with a belly? And you want to threaten me? Clean your ass first."

When Jia Zhang heard Chen Ping's sharp threat, her face turned pale, her lips moved, her triangular eyes suddenly widened, and she spoke tremblingly:

"Okay, even if I haven't been here, if you kill my son, I will never let you go." After saying this, he staggered out the door.

Chen Ping also felt relieved, exhaled a breath, walked heavily to the bedside, sat down and said:

"Son, this Jia Zhang is not like what you said. How could she be so scheming? When she threatened me, I felt that she still had the aura you mentioned. Does she have a hidden identity?"

Lu Zixuan was also very surprised. This was something he had never expected.

"Mom, don't worry. There aren't that many people who hide their identities. You're just a little nervous. It's okay. Aren't you more powerful? Don't you have an identity too?

They all escaped from the bombardment, so who doesn't have some means to save their lives? Even if there was no war in Sijiu City, there were still many bandits, wounded soldiers, deserters, and gangs here.

Don’t worry about it. We have basically offended all these classic characters now, so we have to be more careful in the future.”

Chen Ping can only face reality

"Son, I now finally understand what you said about life being wisdom. There are so many pitfalls in a small courtyard, let alone outside.

According to what you said, if they are the protagonists, then we are really cannon fodder, and if they are the good guys, then we are definitely the villains. Hehe…

Damn, it's exactly what you said. It's totally different from the plot. Everyone is calculating others and guarding against others cheating them. Are all the people in this city so idle?"

Seeing that Chen Ping had recovered, Lu Zixuan also felt relieved:

"It's the same everywhere. Are there no people taking advantage of others in the countryside? Are there fewer quarrels among brothers? This should be considered the inevitable path for the progress and development of a new society.

So, don't underestimate yourself. Look, I didn't say a word to Jia Zhang, but you solved it easily, didn't you? If I had solved it, I might have put a accusation on them, and people would have been in a panic. You handled it so well, much better than I did."

Chen Ping said embarrassedly:

"My son is really good at coaxing people. I feel embarrassed. By the way, I went to the director today and heard about the treatment of Zhang Jun's family. It's about what you guessed. Those who had leadership positions were all dismissed and became ordinary clerks.

But this is not what we want. Can our plan still be implemented? I guess his family is not in the mood for it either."

Lu Zixuan also shook his head and said uncertainly:

"It's as expected. The leaders want them to have their power reduced, but we want Zhang Jun to bear the brunt of it alone. Our goals are different. The plan must be carried out, but we just need to change the way it's played. Aren't all the props ready?

Let Wang Duofu start tomorrow. Be sure to remind them to pay attention to safety. Nothing is more important than your own safety. Okay, I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep first. Don't stay up late. Don't add more clothes to He Yushui. If you add more, it will make people jealous."

Chen Ping shook her head and said:

"I won't do it anymore. I just feel that this girl is too pitiful. It's the same as if she has no home at all. If we don't take care of her, we don't know what she will become in the future. No matter how smart she is, she is just a child. I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm going to sleep."

Starting from the lunch break the next day, Chen Ping cut her hair. Like other female workers or staff members, she had a neat short haircut. She also went home to change into slightly looser clothes.

Everyone was curious about Chen Ping's changes, and some people asked about it. Chen Ping just said that she was trying to emulate the older generation of revolutionary comrades, and half a month passed peacefully like this.

Half a month later, Director Wang brought a piece of gossip from the district government that Zhang Jun was drunk and attempted to molest his biological mother, so his father and brothers broke his right leg and threw him out of the house. He was transferred from his original unit and has not been assigned a new job yet.

Chen Ping jumped three feet high in excitement. She pulled Director Wang to kiss him, then hugged Lu Zixuan to kiss him. Her joy was beyond words.

When she returned home, she bought half a pound of pork belly, which was rare, and asked He Yuzhu to cook it all for one meal. She also allowed He Yuzhu to drink two taels of wine for the first time to celebrate his new life. He Yuzhu was so happy that he kept shouting "Long live my dear sister"

After eating and drinking enough in the evening, Chen Ping's excitement had just passed, so she put her son to bed and sat on the bed to ask for advice.

"Son, I didn't expect it to be so successful. I thought Zhang Jun would just be scolded. How did you come up with this idea? Tell me the trick behind it."

Chen Ping was still excited when she talked about it.

Lu Zixuan replied calmly:

"Nothing, just taking advantage of his illness. I didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and I didn't expect his father to be so decisive. He originally just wanted to remove his ladder first, cut off his future, and then proceed to the next step. It turned out that he did it all at once. It was really unexpected."

"Tell me quickly what happened to the original plan and the current result. I'm a little curious."

Chen Ping picked up Lu Zixuan who had crawled into bed and said

Seeing that he couldn't break free, Lu Zixuan stopped trying and leaned into his mother's arms and started talking...
