The conspiracy of the courtyard

Chen Ping took Lu Zixuan back to the courtyard first. As soon as they entered the central courtyard, they heard a slightly immature duck voice shouting.

"You are just a stinky cook and a waiter, am I wrong?

Your mother is dead and your father doesn't want you anymore, so you are just a beggar.

Do you really think they are your relatives? They treat you like a dog. Haha…

You are such a fool. I will pay you back for the kick you gave me today sooner or later. Just wait for me."

As soon as I heard these tough but cowardly words, I knew it was the Siheyuan romantic Xu Damao, making another wish.

Chen Ping immediately walked over to He Yuzhu and said:

"Zhu Zi, what's going on? Why are you making such a fuss in the yard?"

He Yuzhu rubbed the corner of his clothes a little awkwardly, lowered his head, and answered with slightly red ears:

"Nothing. He was just talking nonsense at the entrance of the alley and I heard him. I gave him a kick. He just came back and was a little unconvinced."

"Oh, so what did he say? Why are you so angry? Don't hide it. We as a family need to face it together."

Chen Ping did not scold him, but asked for the reason with concern.

He Yuzhu blushed and stammered:

"That's right, he said you were my stepmother, and that I was the family's long-term worker, and that Xuanxuan was the son of an adulterer.

What he said was very rude, I couldn’t help it and kicked him.”

Chen Ping was not angry, but praised:

"You did the right thing, but it was a little too gentle. If you say something like that again, I'll just break his legs. It's okay, I'm here, he can't do anything wrong."

Xu Damao was so scared that he was about to run away when he heard Chen Ping's voice.

"Da Mao, you are almost 15 this year, right? You grow up very fast. You are not young anymore. Have you only learned to peek into the girls' restroom at school? Have you forgotten the principles your teacher taught you?

Well, today, I will teach you that the mouth is for eating. Don’t just go to the women’s restroom and secretly eat those digested foods. They have no nutrition and cannot nourish the brain.

Don’t eat it next time. Even if you eat it secretly, remember to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth, otherwise others will think you haven’t digested it.

By the way, you said that pillars serve people? Have you ever seen a servant?

No, my aunt has seen that the servants all kneel down to serve tea and water to their masters.

Wait until your mother comes back from working as a maid, then ask her if she is right.

Oh, yes, your father shows movies in the cinema, right?

Well, my aunt has also watched it, and it is very tiring. She has to explain to the guests and change the film for them.

Damao, you have grown up now and it’s time to understand the hard work of your family.

Your father has been serving those masters all day long, and now he has to serve you when he comes home, you little ancestor who is physically healthy but mentally disabled.

As long as you help boil a bowl of water for washing feet at home, no one will call you a waste.

Speak more quietly next time, or you won’t let anyone know that you are a loser.

If people try to find out who Damao is and fail to find out who he is, and instead he becomes known as a loser, that would be bad, don’t you understand?

Damao, if you don't want to be a waste anymore, go home and boil some water for washing your feet.

By the way, you useless Damao, remember to tell your father about what happened today when you get back. Don’t forget it.

Waste, this name is easy to pronounce, this name is interesting. "

Chen Ping spoke quickly and urgently, not giving Xu Damao any chance to interrupt. He was so dumbfounded by the end that he didn't even know how to respond.

He was speechless for a long time, said "You all wait for me", and then ran away.

Chen Ping looked at the stunned He Yuzhu and said:

“Hurry home and change your clothes, go out to eat, and go to the Military Control Committee.

Remember to go to Emei Restaurant tomorrow to try cooking. Practice your cooking skills there for now. When you become a real master, I will find you a stable job. Let's go."

Chen Ping took Lu Zixuan home, put Yan Bugui's evidence and Yi Zhonghai's confession in a secret compartment, and said to Lu Zixuan:

"Now that we have collected all of these, when will we use them? You should have more than one, you want them to stop making trouble, right?"

Lu Zixuan didn't want to tell Chen Ping his real purpose, so he replied perfunctorily.

“Indeed, there are more than these, but no matter which one it is, we need to have the means to hold them hostage.

What happened to Xu Damao today was not accidental. It was probably someone trying to commit suicide again.

Don’t worry about that for now, just finish today’s work first.”

After the meal, the three of them went straight to the Military Control Commission. After finding Xiao Ma, Chen Ping did not say anything too polite and expressed his request for the Military Control Commission to come forward and clarify the matter.

"Comrade Xiao Ma, I'm sorry to bother you again.

Because of my brother's recklessness, he caused a lot of trouble, and it was also his own negligence that caused this incident to affect the conflicts among the masses.

Now there are a few neighbors who don't know the truth and say that they ate the leftovers left by Zhuzi at home, which were the dishes he brought back from the restaurant with added ingredients.

They insist that Zhuzi put drugs in the food and deliberately killed them. Now things are a little tricky and I need your help to clarify.

Originally, this was just a matter between some neighbors, and there was no need to trouble you, but now two families have been found to have symptoms of addiction, and no matter how much we pressed them, they were unwilling to tell the truth.

I suspect that those criminals have other channels to deliver these banned substances to the people.

This matter could be big or small, and I hope our comrades in the Military Control Commission can pay attention to it.

Even if it was a misunderstanding, at least it dispelled the public's panic and deepened the good image of the government and the army in the public's minds.

It is also our own selfish desire to use the power of the government to clear ourselves of suspicion. How do you think? "

Xiao Ma pondered for a long time before answering:

"This matter can be big or small, so let me take a few people to take a look.

One is to repay you some favors, and the other is to spread the word that those things are banned and are extremely harmful to the body.

When the workers get off work, we will visit you and leave your address later.

However, we cannot intervene in the conflict between you. At most we can say a few fair words.

You also have to promise us that if you encounter female comrades who need help again, you will take the time to help us."

Chen Ping agreed readily

"Okay, as long as our director agrees. Does this matter have a big impact? I'm not trying to get information, I'm just curious."

Xiao Ma smiled and replied

"I knew you would come to inquire about this. The impact is indeed not small. They are organized. We haven't traced the source yet, but we will soon.

The technology they use is more advanced, and the purity of drugs is several times that of those used in hospitals.

Because they didn't know how to use it, they used large dosages, which caused serious harm to the body. Several people have been sent to the hospital with severe convulsions.

It is enough for us to know these. The rest is for the leaders to consider. If there are no other questions, I will go out to find someone first, and you can just go home and wait. "
