"Qinghe is back, remember to come to the meeting later."
As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he was stopped by the third uncle Yan Bugui.
"Meeting? What kind of meeting? Something happened in the hospital again?" Li Qinghe looked confused.
"Hey, it's all Xu Damao's fault. He flirted with the girl and brought shame to our entire courtyard. Remember to come after dinner." Yan Bugui grinned.
Li Qinghe was even more confused. "No, Third Uncle, Brother Damao's matter has not been finalized yet. How can we hold a meeting when no one is here?"
"What? I'll be back this afternoon." Yan Bugui pursed his lips and pointed towards the backyard.
"So fast?" Li Qinghe looked surprised and asked, "How did you handle the matter?"
Yan Bugui had a gloating look on his face, "What else can we do? Just pay the money and be done with it."
"Okay, I remember. I'll go see Brother Damao."
This opportunity to absorb emotions cannot be missed. Now that everyone is talking about him, Xu Damao must be experiencing drastic emotional fluctuations.
Dongdong~
"Brother Damao, are you there?"
"Who is it?" Xu Damao's unique voice sounded.
"Brother Damao, it's me, Li Qinghe." He replied and pushed the door open.
Xu Damao was lying on the bed feeling depressed. He felt uncomfortable when he thought about the people pointing and talking when he entered the hospital.
He pointed to the stool next to him and said, "Sit down, bro."
Li Qinghe moved a stool and sat next to him. "Brother Damao, what happened? I heard that you paid compensation to settle the matter?"
Xu Damao showed a pained look on his face, "That's right, those two were too cruel, they actually asked me forty yuan, which is more than my monthly salary."
Although Li Qinghe didn't care about thirty yuan, he was still a little surprised to hear this number. This was more than an ordinary person's monthly salary, and it was enough to cover two months' income for most people in the hospital.
"Forty! They want that much?"
"Look, look, you think so too, right? The other party just refused to give in. At the beginning, he wanted fifty yuan. It was useless for the chief of the security department to talk to him. It was only when Director Li stepped in personally that he reduced the price by ten yuan." Xu Damao said this with a distressed look on his face. Although he was the son-in-law of the Lou family and could make some money by showing movies in the countryside, such a large amount of money still hurt him.
"Then what's the matter with this general meeting? Aren't all the issues resolved? They don't have to worry about it, right?"
Li Qinghe was still confused about what happened when he was away.
When he said this, Xu Damao jumped off the bed and walked around on the ground in circles, looking angry. "It's that old man in Liu Haizhong who has been thinking about showing off his power all day long. I just gave him the opportunity, so he must seize the opportunity to hold a meeting and show off his power in the hospital. Tell me, is he sick or not? What does it have to do with him? Who in the hospital obeys him? If something happens in the hospital, does he have the ability to handle it?"
Li Qinghe suddenly realized, "I knew it, who is so boring? It wouldn't be strange if it was Liu Haizhong. He wants to show off when he has the chance, and he will also show off when he doesn't have the chance to create opportunities."
Liu Haizhong is addicted to being an official. He is really crazy. The factory has already handled the matter in a low-key manner, but you still bring it up to make trouble. Isn't that against the factory? With this kind of brain, he still wants to be an official? Unless the factory leader's brain is stuck in the door, how can he be allowed to take office? The leader is also afraid that this pig brain will harm him.
But he is the second uncle in the courtyard and still has some prestige, so everyone can only give him face.
Li Qinghe asked curiously, "Then Uncle Three also agreed? Isn't he a man who doesn't do anything without benefits? Is he willing to do something that has no benefits and offends people?"
"Humph, that old guy said he wanted to let the neighbors in the yard learn from him and set an example for them. That sounds good. I saw through the crack in the window that Liu Haizhong gave him two dollars."
"......"
Li Qinghe rubbed his brows. This Liu Haizhong really did everything he could to show off his power, even engaging in py transactions.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Don't leave tonight and have a couple of drinks with me." Xu Damao waved his hand impatiently.
"No, I can't drink right now. You should prepare for the meeting tonight. I still have to go see Sister Xiao'e. She's probably still angry. I'm going to think about how to persuade her."
I am such a good person, Li Qinghe thought to himself.
"Okay, good brother, then I won't keep you."
Xu Damao didn't care. He didn't mean to treat him to a drink, he was just being polite.
He also figured out what was going on with Lou Xiao'e. Since she couldn't have children, he could let her do whatever she wanted. Once he found his target, he would kick her out immediately.
When Li Qinghe returned home, he found hot food on the table and Lou Xiao'e was sitting at the table with a smile on her face.
"Sister Xiao'e, you can also cook."
Li Qinghe was a little surprised. He picked up a piece of fried meat and tasted it. It tasted quite good.
Lou Xiao'e glared at him, "What are you talking about? I can't cook. Since I got married into this courtyard, I've been the one who cooked most of the time."
Li Qinghe gave her a thumbs up and said, "Sister Xiao'e is really good. The taste is really good."
Lou Xiao'e handed him a steamed bun, and Li Qinghe took it and started to gobble it up without hesitation.
Li Qinghe suddenly looked up and said, "By the way, Sister Xiao'e, I have some rice, flour, and eggs in my room. If you were at home, I wouldn't lock the door, so you can just go in and get them."
"Okay, I understand."
Watching Li Qinghe eating, Lou Xiao'e had a strange feeling in her heart. This was something Xu Damao could not give him. It seemed to be like this when her parents were together.
Just as she was lost in thought, Li Qinghe looked up and said, "Sister Xiao'e, you should eat too. I can't finish all this."
"Okay, let's eat together." Lou Xiao'e smiled warmly.
After finishing the meal, Li Qinghe filled a large bowl with warm water and said, "Sister Xiao'e, are you going to the general meeting later?"
"Hmph, I'm not going. A bunch of boring people doing boring things." Lou Xiao'e snorted softly.
She was somewhat dissatisfied with the factory's handling of the matter, as they let Xu Damao get away with it so easily. It would have been much better if they could have just sentenced him directly so that she could get a divorce directly and send him to jail without having to worry about being reported.
Forget it, it’s not bad now. I have an excuse not to go back. I can live in Li Qinghe’s house with a legitimate reason. Besides, the two rooms are not connected, so I don’t have to worry about gossip.
"Okay, if you don't want to go, then don't go. I'll go and see what's going on. It's just the right time to kill time after dinner."
......
It was completely dark and most people had finished dinner. Li Qinghe carried a stool and went out, ready to go to the central courtyard to watch the fun and absorb other people's emotions.
When I arrived at the central courtyard, I found that Liu Haizhong was already there. He was sitting at the eight-immortal table with a big belly.
Li Qinghe felt amused. This guy really thought of himself as the protagonist.
I hope that after the conference starts, with his intelligence, he can handle it and not get stuck and need Yi Zhonghai to save the situation, otherwise he will end up being a bystander.
