Siheyuan: The wife pays off the husband's debt, Huairu's mentality collapses

"I heard that Director Yang came to look for Su Mu. How come Su Mu has only been here for a short time, so he is so appreciated by the director? You can't judge a person by his appearance."

"It seems that things are going to change in our courtyard. In the past, Yi Zhonghai had the final say, but now it may be Su Mu's turn to be in charge."

"Uncle San is probably asking for trouble this time. Su Mu and Director Yang have something important to discuss, but he insisted on butting in. Isn't this asking for trouble?"

"But then again, the third uncle was also worried about his own child, but he used the wrong method and ended up getting himself into trouble."

"Did you notice that Sumu didn't say much from beginning to end, but he was much calmer than the noisy Third Uncle. It seems that we should spend more time with Sumu in the future, maybe we can get some help from him."

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai hurried over and when he saw Director Yang, a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face:

"Director Yang, you are here, I was just looking for you!"

"I heard that the workshop has a lot of new policies recently. As an eighth-level fitter, I must study hard and strive to make more contributions to the factory."

Director Yang glanced at him coldly and said mercilessly: "Yi Zhonghai, I don't deny your contribution, but don't think that this will make me look at you differently. I have seen your performance in the workshop. Don't think I don't know your laziness and perfunctory attitude."

Yi Zhonghai's smile froze suddenly. He cursed in his heart but did not dare to refute.

He could only lower his head, secretly thanking himself for not standing by Yan Bugui's side. After all, Director Yang's majesty made him feel intimidated.

When Yan Bugui saw Yi Zhonghai coming, he felt uneasy. He didn't expect that even he would be involved in this turmoil.

Director Yang's eyes swept over the two of them, and his tone became more severe: "You two, I am very disappointed with your performance today."

"Yi Zhonghai, you are a senior employee and you should take the lead instead of making unwarranted provocations here."

"Such behavior not only affects the team atmosphere, but also greatly damages the image of the factory!"

The tense atmosphere in the air grew thicker and thicker. Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that today's events had gotten out of control.

Su Mu stood aside with a smile on his face, secretly glad that he had the upper hand in this game of power. The future seemed to become brighter because of it.

As Director Yang finished his words, the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point.

He turned around, without even glancing at Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai, and walked straight to the door. Every step he took seemed so firm and powerful, as if he was declaring some kind of unshakable authority.

At the moment when Director Yang was about to step out of the door, Yi Zhonghai could no longer suppress the anger and unwillingness in his heart. He raised his head suddenly, stared at Su Mu with a sharp gaze, and his voice was filled with gnashing teeth:

"Sumu, don't be too proud! Do you think you can do whatever you want with the support of Director Yang?"

"Don't forget, our courtyard is about harmonious coexistence and mutual assistance among neighbors! Aren't you afraid of chilling everyone's heart by treating me like this today?"

Su Mu's expression did not fluctuate at all when he heard this. He slowly took a few steps forward and looked at Yi Zhonghai. His eyes revealed a calmness and composure that was beyond his age.

"I, Yi Zhonghai, have never thought of doing whatever I want, and I have never wanted to disappoint anyone."

"I am just trying my best to make my own contribution to Siheyuan and the factory. As for Director Yang's appreciation of my work, it is an affirmation of my work and also a motivation for me to continue working hard."

He paused, and said in a calmer tone: "As for the harmonious coexistence you mentioned, I always believe that true harmony is based on mutual respect and understanding. If someone tries to seek personal gain through improper means, that is the real destruction of harmony."

Yi Zhonghai was choked by Su Mu's words. He didn't expect that this young man would refute him so directly, and he didn't expect that his words contained such profound truth.

The surrounding residents also cast mixed glances at him, some agreeing, some puzzled, and some just watching the fun.

In the end, Yi Zhonghai could only snort indignantly, turned around and left, leaving behind a slightly lonely back.

Su Mu stood there, looking ahead with a firm gaze, his heart full of expectations and confidence for the future.

He knew that the storm had subsided temporarily.

But the road ahead is still long, he needs to work harder and prove his worth with practical actions.

Sumu then rode a tricycle, the wheels making rhythmic sounds on the gravel road, and headed towards the street office.

After arriving, he parked the car skillfully and pushed the door open.

Director Wang from the street office was sitting at his desk, flipping through documents. When he saw Su Mu come in, a friendly smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Sumu, you're here!" Director Wang greeted him warmly, as if they were old friends meeting.

She put down the pen in her hand, stood up, and walked to Su Mu, "Are you going to the mountains to hunt today?"

Su Mu smiled and nodded, thanking Director Wang for the reminder.

The two chatted for a few more words, and then Su Mu said goodbye to Director Wang, got on the tricycle again, and headed towards the mountains with great anticipation, having already planned in his mind how to catch those fat pheasants.

The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds onto Su Mu's face, casting a layer of golden glow on his resolute features.

The mountains and forests are full of vitality with the singing of birds and the chirping of insects.

Sumu walked through the forest paths with great familiarity, feeling very familiar with this land that he had often explored in his childhood.

The goal was clear - to find the pheasants running freely in the mountains.

Soon, Sumu found an open area where several colorful pheasants were leisurely pecking at grass seeds and insects on the ground.

He quickly stopped and held his breath, for fear of disturbing these highly alert prey.

From the cloth bag on his back, Su Mu gently took out a simple homemade fishing net, which was the result of his many years of hunting experience. It was both light and practical.

He carefully moved around the side and rear of the pheasant flock, using trees and bushes as cover, and approached his target step by step.

Su Mu's movements were light and agile, as if he had merged into one with the mountains and forests.

When the distance was close enough, he swung his hand suddenly, and the net was like a huge mouth, accurately covering several pheasants.

The pheasants flapped their wings in panic, but soon calmed down under Su Mu's skillful restraint.

He gently untied the net and took out the pheasants one by one, his technique was quick and gentle, trying to minimize the harm to them.

After successfully capturing several pheasants, Sumu did not leave immediately, but observed the surrounding environment more carefully.
