Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

"If word gets out, many people will call me a hypocrite."

"Who knows, someone might come knocking on our door and yell at us." Old Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Nowadays, the status of workers and peasants is really too high.

As a leader, he was in the wrong and people actually pointed their fingers at him and cursed him.

So I cursed!

You might even have to admit your mistake and put on a smiling face.

Do you know how hard this was for me?!

“I understand what you’re saying; that’s just how things are,” Yang Jianguo nodded in understanding.

He then continued, "I'm not here to ask you to deal with him, but rather to communicate with the factory about the situation."

The neighborhood committee approved the vote in the compound and decided to expel Xu Damao from the compound.

Now, all that's left is the factory's attitude.

After all, the house now belongs to the factory, and the arrangements made before that are not finalized.

It's just that the factory's decision needs a legitimate reason to be convincing.

Ultimately, whether to stay or leave depends on the factory's decision.

Factory Director Yang lowered his head and pondered for a moment before asking, "Are you really going to send them away?"

His attitude indicates that he has already agreed.

However, we just need to confirm just how persistent Yang Jianguo is about this matter.

"If it weren't for the fact that I could have come here, would I?" Yang Jianguo nodded and said seriously, "If you really want to kick me out..."

"Okay," Factory Director Yang agreed.

"I'll talk to the logistics department later and get the person transferred."

"However, the process will take a few more days..."

They've all been chased out of the courtyard. If he were allowed to stay there, he'd definitely cause a ruckus.

But there was nowhere else to go at the moment, so they suddenly let him stay.

"Okay, let him work at the factory for a couple of days first, and I'll have the department head notify him."

Factory Director Yang decided to let him stay at the factory temporarily; he figured a few nights in the office wouldn't kill him.

As for where he will be assigned later, that will have to be handled by the logistics department.

There are no changes in my work situation.

After all, Yang Jianguo's criticism was on a moral level; you can't dismiss someone just because of that.

At most, they would be assigned to labor reform.

But the factory was short-staffed, and there was no projectionist available to fill in temporarily.

Furthermore, transferring someone just because of a job poaching would not be convincing to the public.

"Just get him out of the compound, and you can handle the rest yourself," Yang Jianguo replied cheerfully.

Factory Director Yang pointed at him and said, "You, Yang Jianguo, are like a monkey."

The fact that there's no activity right now doesn't mean there won't be any activity later.

Now that things have been brought to light, if Xu Damao continues to accept bribes, he'll really be in trouble.

Neither Director Yang nor Yang Jianguo believed that he could control his hands.

After getting used to delicacies from land and sea, it's nice to have some wild vegetables to try once in a while.

Let him eat it every day, he'll get used to it!

Sooner or later, Xu Damao will stumble because of this.

That's what they really mean by 'we'll see.'

The matter of expelling Xu Damao from the compound was now completely over.

When Yang Jianguo came out of the office building, only Zhang Chao and Zhang Yu, the two siblings, remained at the door.

Xu Damao has already left; let's face reality and think about how to deal with it.

From the moment Yang Jianguo entered the building, he knew there was no chance.

From now on, I'll just follow the factory's arrangements!

As for the rest, Xu Damao had no time to think about it now.

Let's wait for this storm to pass and then make all the necessary arrangements.

Once you've found a way out, then stop thinking about all that other nonsense.

In short, Xu Damao remembered this matter.

Chapter 253 Viewing the House, Mom Carries

Xu Damao was kicked out of the compound without any room for reconciliation.

This was something no one expected.

Just yesterday, when Director Wang made his statement, everyone thought this was going to become a reality.

Deep down, I didn't really take it seriously.

It's just a commotion, let's teach Xu Damao a lesson!

Finally, once the lesson was learned, the matter was over.

Unity, unity, this is a top-down theme.

Getting someone out of the compound is not as easy as it sounds.

But now—it's done.

Before finishing work, Xu Damao came back to tidy up his things.

Two security guards came with him.

One was burly and strong, the other tall and thin, both with taut faces that inspired fear in anyone who saw them.

The two of them didn't help each other, they just stood there watching Xu Damao carry things out one by one.

He can take anything that belongs to him, but not everything that doesn't.

He can't take any of the items that were originally in this room.

Even the small stool was confiscated.

"The order form says four low stools."

“One of them is broken… I bought this one myself.” Xu Damao held up the stool in his hand, feeling extremely desolate.

When did Xu Damao fall to this level?

Never in his wildest dreams had Xu Damao ever imagined that he would one day be kicked out of the compound.

My initial complacency has crumbled!

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

Even if you're unwilling, you'll regret it and be reluctant to give it up.

Let's move!

But you're going to take away the stool I bought myself?

He snatched the stool from her hand and put it on the ground.

The big guy said coldly, "Four is four. The ones that broke in the front can be used to make up for them."

Xu Damao was so angry that his mouth twitched and his forehead wrinkled up in deep creases.

But she still went back inside to continue tidying up.

If you try to reason with the security department, they'll resort to fists, believe it or not.

After hastily tidying up, Xu Damao stood at the door and glanced at the house one last time, his eyes filled with reluctance and anger.

Yang Jianguo...

When they returned, Xu Damao was nowhere to be seen in the courtyard.

Yang Jianguo called Yingzi and they went to the backyard to look at the house.

Pushing open the door, the bright room immediately delights the eye.

Even the trash left on the ground and the messy environment were completely ignored.

With this room, there will be enough space even if we have more children in the future.

Yingzi wandered around the house, imagining how her future home would be furnished.

Yang Jianguo was observing the suitable location to place the stove.

It's not in the middle courtyard; he's planning to buy a new one for this house.

That's for the kids; it'll be convenient for them when they're older, like washing up.

Yingzi, who was used to being frugal, was surprised when she heard that he wanted to buy a new stove.

She instinctively wanted to speak up and stop them, but she held back.

The two of them together earn about one or two hundred yuan a month.

Buying a stove is really no trouble at all.

"I'll go after work tomorrow and choose a sturdy and reliable one."

Hearing him say that, Yingzi quickly reminded him, "Just make sure it's enough, don't buy anything too expensive."

We still need to be frugal, even if you have a high salary or a lot of money.

They can then do whatever they want, indulging in extravagance and waste.

There are still many people outside who are not getting enough to eat!

After looking at the house, the two went back inside and continued their discussion with smiles on their faces.

Which ones will be moved over, and which ones will have to stay?

These electrical appliances, they'll definitely all be moved away.

When the kids grow up, they'll definitely eat and do everything in the main room, and they'll just come back here to wash up and sleep, so they won't need these things anymore.

Besides, we can buy them again when they're older.

He was stingy with Yingzi himself, but he was incredibly generous with Yang Jianguo and the children.

They eat and dress well, but the man is the face of the family, so he can't be poor.

Children are the heart of the family; they cannot be allowed to get dirty.

As for her, having a few minor flaws isn't a big deal.

“That won’t do. We can’t do without you, no matter who else is available,” Yang Jianguo objected.

Furthermore, it has been decided that she will receive a severe reprimand tonight.

The family is a whole; we must treat everyone equally in order to set a good example for our children.

Why are you showing favoritism, treating each person differently?

We don't care about other people's lives, nor do we bother to.

But not at home!

"You're just going to be so pent up!" Yingzi smiled shyly and went to cook.

The baby is already eight months old, how could she not understand Yang Jianguo's little schemes and the hints in his tone?

As soon as his cunning scheme was revealed, Yingzi understood.

Tonight, we need to add more water to the stove.
