When Lou Xiao'e heard the whole story, she couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Xu Damao.
She actually had a good impression of her neighbor who was always being bullied.
In Lou Xiao'e's view, everyone in the courtyard, including her husband Xu Damao, had some personality problems.
Although the old man Yi Zhonghai seemed to like upholding justice, she had long seen through his hypocrisy.
The second uncle, Liu Haizhong, was obsessed with becoming an official. He always acted like the second uncle and beat his second and third sons until they cried and screamed, disturbing the peace of the entire courtyard!
Needless to say, the third uncle, Yan Fugui, would spend all day at the gate of the courtyard house. Whenever someone came in carrying something, he would go up and say a few words, trying to take advantage of them.
To paraphrase a disgusting remark Xu Damao once made, even the old man would want to taste the dung cart to see how salty it was when it passed by.
Needless to say, there's Jia Zhangshi from the Jia family.
Everyone in the courtyard knows it.
He's always either throwing tantrums to take advantage of others or bullying his wife, Qin Huairu, to death.
In the dead of winter, after giving birth, they wouldn't even let her finish her postpartum confinement period; instead, they forced her to go out and do laundry.
Her husband, Xu Damao, was even more wicked, constantly scheming to get back at others.
As for Shazhu, he's also annoying; he always likes to say that he's a goose that doesn't lay eggs.
Lin Yang was different; he neither liked to take advantage of others nor liked to swear or make vulgar jokes. He appeared to be a refined and cultured person.
As Lou Xiao'e's thoughts wandered, Liu Guangtian, Liu Haizhong's son, appeared at the door.
"Xu Damao, an old man asked me to inform you that there will be another hospital-wide meeting tonight. Don't be late at 7:30!"
After leaving those words, Liu Guangtian fled as fast as he could.
On the other side, Liu Guangfu finished informing the deaf old woman and prepared to go home.
But the deaf old woman frowned and said to him:
"Guangfu, it's usually Shazhu who comes to inform me of the big meeting, why is it you today?"
Hearing the deaf old woman's words, Liu Guangfu said with schadenfreude:
"Sha Zhu was arrested by Lin Yang for bringing food, and he's currently locked up in the security department's interrogation room. How could he possibly notify you?"
The deaf old woman immediately exclaimed, "This won't do!"
She also had plans to have Sha Zhu take care of her in her old age, so she picked up her cane and said to Liu Guangfu, "Quickly, quickly, get him to Yi Zhonghai! How could Lin Yang send Sha Zhu to the security department? What's going on here!"
Preoccupied with dinner, Liu Guangfu had no time to help the deaf old lady. He quickly said, "Oh, don't worry, old lady. The old man called a meeting of the whole hospital just for this matter!"
After saying that, he ran off in a flash.
No matter how much the deaf old woman called out to him, she ignored him.
After discovering that Liu Guangfu had run away, the deaf old woman angrily threw her cane to the ground, then frowned and muttered, "This shouldn't be happening. How could Lin Yang be so magnanimous! No, I'll have to give him a good talking to when he comes back. How could he lock Sha Zhu up in the interrogation room!"
Although she usually pretends to be deaf and dumb, she will protect Sha Zhu without any limits when it comes to him!
...................
Regardless of what the birds in the courtyard were thinking, Lin Yang and Liu Zi, bragging to each other, soon arrived at Nanluo Hutong.
Liu Zi's home was in another alley, and the two parted ways after saying goodbye.
When they parted, Lin Yang also slipped Hua Zi's ticket into Liu Zi's hand.
He firmly believed that one should always be generous when asking others to do things for them.
Benefits can also be given in advance.
Even if Liu Zi failed to persuade his brother to convince the factory leaders to punish Sha Zhu by making him clean the toilets.
But after this request, Lin Yang came into contact with the head of the security department.
Over time, this becomes a connection.
Liu Zi, expressing his trust in Lin Yang, said in a resolute tone, "Brother Yang, I will definitely get this done for you. If my brother disagrees, I will run to my grandmother and beg her to make it happen for you!"
Lin Yang laughed at Liu Zi's antics and said, "It's not that exaggerated. Sha Zhu and I are from the same courtyard, so it's okay if it doesn't work out."
However, Liu Zi shook his head and said, "Brother Yang, you're in the same compound as him, but Sha Zhu doesn't know what's good for him. He keeps trying to fight with you. If you hadn't stopped him before, our security team would have beaten him up long ago!"
He then patted his chest and said, "Liu Zi will definitely take care of this for you!"
Step into Nanluo Hutong.
Lin Yang immediately spotted the storefront with its huge supply and marketing cooperative sign.
This is the Nanluo Supply and Marketing Cooperative at the entrance of the alley.
Seeing a row of bicycles parked in front of the supply and marketing cooperative, Lin Yang suddenly remembered the bicycle voucher that the system had rewarded him with.
He figured the distance from the factory to the courtyard was quite far, but it was okay to walk there occasionally.
He didn't want to walk home every day, as it was so tiring.
Actually, the predecessor also allowed people to buy bicycles.
With his monthly salary plus the three yuan rent per household, he can save quite a bit of money each month.
As for the bicycle ticket, Director Wang from the neighborhood office also gave him one during last year's Spring Festival.
However, the predecessor was afraid that after buying the bicycle, he wouldn't be able to ride it many times.
People in the compound would definitely borrow it every day, eventually turning it into a public bicycle for the courtyard.
Therefore, I have never bought it.
However, Lin Yang would not treat himself unfairly.
He decided to wait until the weekend to go to the department store and buy a Phoenix brand bicycle.
But he's not idle now.
Lin Yang touched the meat coupon that the system had rewarded him with in his pocket and decided to go to the supply store to buy some meat to eat.
