“I hope this will all end soon.”
Li Qinghe muttered to himself on the way and let out a breath.
He raised his hand and looked. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon and the factory had already started working. But it didn't matter. No one cared whether he went to work or not.
Since you're already late, let's go back quickly.
I went to Minister Zhou's office, chatted with him for a while, and then was kicked out.
"You are idle and have nothing to do every day, but I have a lot of work to do. Hurry up and leave, don't waste my time."
That’s what he said at the time.
Li Qinghe looked at the closed door and curled his lips, "I'm busy too, okay."
After complaining for a while, Li Qinghe left the factory again and went straight to Ran Qiuye's house.
The last time I went to repair the electrical circuit at You Fengxia's house, I already knew the approximate location of the Ran family. At noon, I got the detailed address from Ran Qiuye, so I don't have to worry about not finding it.
The Ran family's house is located in an alley, which is a little inferior to the courtyard house, but it is also pretty good.
But as soon as I got close, I smelled a strange smell, like some rotting vegetable leaves, and also a bit like slop.
It doesn't taste good anyway.
After entering, I saw a middle-aged woman in her fifties blocking the door of a house and shouting something inside.
"Teacher Ran, you have a day off this afternoon, so you should clean up the yard. Look, it smells bad. It really affects the image of the yard."
The Ran family didn't open the door, but Ran Qiuye's voice came from inside, "Aunt Liu, I finally got a rest today..."
"Auntie, your last name is Liu, right? When does Teacher Ran need to clean the yard? She doesn't have this obligation, does she?" Li Qinghe got out of the car and walked closer, frowning.
"Who are you? Do you need to interfere in the affairs of our yard?" The other party obviously didn't expect that someone would suddenly appear to help Ran Qiuye. He immediately became unhappy and naturally would not give Li Qinghe a good look.
"Oh, who am I to need your attention? I want to know which rule stipulates that Teacher Ran has to clean the yard."
Hearing Li Qinghe's voice, Ran Qiuye quickly opened the door and came out, "Qinghe, forget it..."
"There's no way to let it go." Li Qinghe interrupted Ran Qiuye and said seriously, "It's human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong. If you choose to give in, people will think you're easy to bully. Their next step is to push you too far, making them feel more and more superior. Once it becomes a habit, they will think it's their due. This is a bad nature of human beings and it can't be changed."
Aunt Liu was so upset by the indirect criticism that she said, "No, who are you? What does our yard's affairs have to do with you? You are meddling too much.
"What bad habits are there? Human nature, have you never been educated? Do you know that suffering a loss is a blessing? You are always calculating and haggling. Don't you know how to respect the elderly and love the young? If the country is full of people like you, what will happen?"
"Suffering a loss is a blessing? Then I really wish you good fortune like the East Sea. You should eat more. By the way, I wish you a long life like the Southern Mountains, and live to be 180 years old. You can enjoy happiness until you are 180 years old." Li Qinghe immediately clasped his fists and gave his most sincere blessings.
“You! You!”
Aunt Liu was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. She had no idea how to fight back. She only regretted not having enough books when she needed them.
"Okay, excuse me, excuse me."
"Hey, you said you borrowed it, so you borrowed it. This is our yard, you are not welcome, get out of here!" Aunt Liu was not willing to give way, as she had just been scolded.
Li Qinghe didn't bother to pay attention to her. The wheel of the car rolled over her feet directly. She screamed "ouch" in pain and quickly jumped to the side.
There is a big bag on the back seat of the bicycle, and it is quite heavy.
Just when she was about to rush up to confront Li Qinghe, several neighbors who were cooking nearby couldn't bear to see it and advised: "Aunt Liu, forget it, forgive others when you can."
I came to Ran Qiuye and found out after asking.
Aunt Liu lives in this compound and is a fellow student of Jia Zhang. She is a complete shrew, equally lazy and gossipy.
She likes to see others suffer, but she absolutely cannot suffer any loss herself. She has the same skill of throwing tantrums, but what makes her better than Jia Zhang is that her sons are not dead, and she has two of them.
They are all neighbors, and others don't want to make things too awkward, thinking that if they take a step back, the sky will be clear. However, who would have thought that when others take a step back, she would take a step forward. The phrase "pressing for an inch" was fully demonstrated by her.
Moreover, this courtyard, although called a courtyard, actually only has five households. It is just a large courtyard with one entrance, not the large courtyard with three entrances like the one where Li Qinghe lives. Therefore, naturally there is no such thing as a big boss. When neighbors have conflicts, they solve them on their own, and if that doesn't work, they resort to violence.
As a result, Aunt Liu became more and more unscrupulous, relying on her two sons.
Since moving in, the yard has never been quiet.
"What does it have to do with you? It's none of your business. You're just meddling in other people's business." Aunt Liu was not polite at all and spat at the person who was speaking.
"You are... unreasonable!" The person who spoke was very angry and picked up the plate and left.
"Tsk, what a thing." Aunt Liu sneered and looked at Li Qinghe, "Get lost, you bastard. Go back to where you came from. You are not welcome here."
"Is this yard yours?" Li Qinghe was almost laughing out of anger. He didn't understand. Are there so many weirdos in this era?
The key point is that he felt that he had bad luck and always met people like this, and the one in front of him was even more powerful than Jia Zhang.
After all, even Jia Zhang didn't dare to say that someone was unwelcome in the courtyard and wanted to drive people out. At most, she would shout and gather the neighbors in the courtyard, using the power of the masses to collectively exclude the other party.
