Li Qinghe watched this farce and ate melon seeds out of boredom.
He really hated this kind of whole-house meeting, but there was nothing he could do. This was the characteristic of this era. As long as you lived in a large courtyard like a siheyuan, there would basically be two or three people in charge, who were responsible for mediating neighborhood conflicts, or keeping an eye out for enemy spies and reporting any suspicious people in a timely manner.
However, this trivial little power was distorted by the three uncles in charge of this compound, and it was forcibly raised to several levels.
It means that people of this era are honest and don't know much, otherwise who would care about them? If you dare to meddle in other people's business, they will slap you twice in the face before you have a chance to argue.
A hand reached out from the side, "Give me some."
"It's in your pocket, take it yourself." Li Qinghe glanced at He Yushui and shook his trouser pocket.
If it were someone else, and we weren't husband and wife, it would be embarrassing to do this.
But He Yushui has a special relationship with Li Qinghe and doesn't care about this at all.
The two of them were also sitting at the edge, and no one was paying attention to this side. He Yushui looked around, then reached into his trouser pocket without hesitation and grabbed a handful of things.
Snap!
Snap!
After cracking a few melon seeds, He Yushui asked curiously, "What is the meeting about today? There is no news at all."
Li Qinghe patted the residue on his hands and said lazily: "Who knows, just wait a while, wait until your brother comes, then we can start."
Although I guessed some of it, there is no need to explain it. It only takes a few minutes.
"By the way, I heard that Xu Damao was arrested last night and released today?" He Yushui had just returned in the afternoon and heard people in the courtyard talking about this.
However, she had no interest in such things and did not ask any further questions.
At this time, we are just chatting to kill time.
"It is true, but according to the second uncle, it was a misunderstanding. Now everyone is back." Li Qinghe raised his eyes and saw He Yuzhu who was walking towards them carrying the deaf old lady on his back.
Pointing in a direction with his chin, he said jokingly, "Your brother is here, but he's smart this time. He even knew to carry the old lady on his back. He wants to make a talisman for himself."
"Amulet? What does that mean? What did my brother do again?" He Yuzhu asked in surprise.
She hasn't been back for several days and has no idea what happened during this time.
"Hey, what else could it be? A few days ago, an old man..." Li Qinghe did not hide anything and told the whole story starting from when Yi Zhonghai stepped down.
He Yushui was immediately dissatisfied when he heard this. "What does Second Master mean? He started to attack the people in the courtyard as soon as he came to power? Is he trying to establish a dictatorship in the courtyard?"
Her feelings towards He Yuzhu are quite complicated. If she says she hates him, no one would believe her if she doesn't have any. Otherwise, she wouldn't have risked herself to take revenge on her own brother.
But the hatred was not that deep. After all, they were siblings and there was still some affection between them. She would never do anything to ruin someone's future, even if she was beaten to death.
So, when she heard that Liu Haizhong had arrested He Yuzhu, she didn't know how she felt.
"Who knows?" Li Qinghe shook his head.
In fact, he knew that arresting He Yuzhu was really revenge, and he also wanted to add fuel to the fire so that he could gain a firm foothold in the patrol team. But because of his instigation, he was afraid that Xu Damao would threaten him, so he wanted to step on him completely.
Here, Li Qinghe was chatting with He Yushui, while He Yuzhu in front had already started making trouble.
"Hey, Damao, you're out now? Uncle Er, you have to investigate thoroughly. You can't let any bad elements slip through. That would be irresponsible to the people."
"Silly Zhu, what do you mean? Second Master is very perceptive. If he lets me out, it proves that I am innocent. Stop causing trouble for me!"
Xu Damao was so angry that he was about to explode. He was bringing up something that was not relevant. You would be happy only if I went in and couldn't come out, right?
Then he thought about it and it seemed to be true. If He Yuzhu went to jail, he would be so happy that he went crazy. The last time He Yuzhu was arrested, he bought good wine and food to treat Li Qinghe to a drink.
He cursed Liu Haizhong's ancestors in his heart, but he had to force a smile at the fat man. He felt so depressed.
"Who knows, who knows what's inside..."
"Zhu Zi! Shut up!" Seeing that he was about to speak without restraint again, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly scolded him.
He is no longer the boss of the courtyard. If He Yuzhu continues to talk, it would be a subtle sarcasm to Liu Haizhong.
He just got tricked once, why doesn’t he learn his lesson? Yi Zhonghai is so worried about it.
"What I'm saying is..."
"Ahem, Brother Zhuzi, come and sit down. We're in a meeting. Don't stand."
Li Qinghe interrupted helplessly. He was impressed by He Yuzhu, who had never died. If it wasn't for He Yushui's sake, he would not have bothered to care about him.
"That's right, Shazhu, be quiet, so many people are waiting!" Yan Bugui also quickly scolded.
Liu Haizhong had been drinking tea calmly, acting like a leader, watching the fight between He Yuzhu and Xu Damao. He seemed quite indifferent, as if he was watching the storm unfold. However, his fat and big-eared appearance somewhat ruined the atmosphere.
After the scene quieted down, he put down his empty teacup and stood up to prepare for the opening.
This conference is his first opportunity to show off his power after becoming the leader, so naturally he has to perform well and establish his image.
But who would have thought that someone was quicker than him, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth were stuck in his throat.
Yan Bugui stood up first and said loudly: "Well...everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I will say a few words first."
As soon as he spoke, he attracted everyone's attention, causing his butt to be stuck in the middle of his bangs.
