Scholars in the courtyard

Lou Jingtang and his wife were lying on the bed, talking about their daughter's life events.

Lou's mother was the first to express her opinion, "I think Damao is good."

"I am tall and work as a projectionist. The money I earn in a month is enough for Xiao'e to live on. With our family's private support, my life will not be too bad in the future."

Lou Jingtang nodded and talked about Yang Xiaotao again.

Lou's mother was a little angry. If she had left this kind of person in the past, she would have been buried in a sack long ago.

That is to say, the world has changed. Otherwise, if the Lou family just moves their fingers, someone will rush to deal with it for them.

"Don't worry about him."

"Originally, I thought that this little guy has some talents. After all, he has a clean background, is motivated at a young age, has a smart mind, and has no burden on the family. He should be a good match for Xiao'e."

"But I didn't expect that this kid would turn out to be such a person."

Lou Jingtang said with a little anger on his face, "Although this person is talented, he has no virtue."

"Although our Lou family is here, it is a broken ship with three nails. Although it is not as good as before, it can still guarantee that you and I will have enough food and clothing."

"Those talents are just the icing on the cake for my Lou family, they are dispensable."

"But our current situation requires a fig leaf. His composition and current situation are not suitable for us."

Here, Lou Jingtang is also a little helpless. The general environment is like this, and when considering problems, we must proceed from the overall situation.

"That's it, let Xiao'e suffer this injustice."

Lou's mother said, "Fortunately, the Xu family is still kind and righteous."

"Xu Damao is pretty good, and Xiao'e won't suffer hardships when he gets married."

Lou's mother said, and Lou Jingtang on the side also nodded.

"Now that everything is settled, we still have to get it done as soon as possible."

"The nights are long and the dreams are many, just be quick and simple!"

"Well, I'll talk to the matchmaker tomorrow!"

…

The sky was getting brighter, but Yang Xiaotao could no longer sleep.

Although I don't know the time, I think it must be very early. I have been locked up here for a day since I had lunch yesterday, and now my stomach is growling and I feel very hungry.

Although there is a lot of food in his space, there is no guarantee that someone will see him here. If he cannot explain it at that time, it will not only be troublesome, but may also cause other things.

Some things are unreasonable these days.

Yang Xiaotao stood up, moved his body, and looked at his attributes.

Normally, Yang Xiaotao wouldn't pay attention to these things, but there was really nothing to do here today, so he took a look.

Yang Xiaotao

Age: 19

Credits: 684

Main skill: Fitter Level 2

Sub-skill: Fishing Skill Level 2

Exchange column: 3 (Laoganma, canned luncheon meat, French bread.)

Pet: Wood Elf (Yang Xiaowei)

Yang Xiaowei

infancy

Skills: primary plant manipulation, primary photosynthesis.

Looking at the simple panel, Yang Xiaotao did not dislike it.

In other words, he is not even qualified to dislike it. After all, his current life is all obtained by relying on this system.

"You still need to read more."

Looking at more than 600 credits, Yang Xiaotao clenched his fists and cheered secretly.

According to his estimates, it would cost at least one thousand and fifty to upgrade the main skill of Locksmith to level three.

Of course, there are still some things to redeem during this period, and the required credits are only a lot more.

Just as Yang Xiaotao was checking his panel, outside the security department office of the steel rolling mill, deputy director Xu had a calm face, followed by Wang Guodong, the director of the third workshop, who opened the door and walked in.

In the room, Section Chief Zhao, who had just returned from a business trip, was found by Wang Hao, with a gloomy look on his face.

Next to them, there were several officers from the security department. Among them, Qian Yixing stood in the middle, looking a little depressed and smelling of alcohol.

Seeing Xu and Wang walking in, the gloomy Section Chief Zhao quickly stood up and walked up to him, "Old Xu, are you here too?"

Section Chief Zhao and Deputy Director Xu both came from the army, and there was some friendship between them.

"My people have been captured, can I not come?"

Xu Yuanshan spoke in a very calm voice, but Section Chief Zhao, who was familiar with his temper, knew that he was really angry.

Xu Yuanshan walked in and sat aside, lighting a cigarette as if nothing had happened, not looking at other people, just waiting to see how the security department would handle today's matter.

Section Chief Zhao was also anxious. He just went to have a meeting, but he didn't expect his subordinates to do this to him.

If this is done well, he has nothing to say, after all, they are all his subordinates.

But actually...

Smoke filled the air, but no one spoke.

The atmosphere in the office became solemn for a while.

After looking at the people standing there, Section Chief Zhao turned his attention to Qian Yixing.

When this kid came to the security office, he was not optimistic about it. Day by day, he knew that he had great success and thought about how to climb up.

To put it bluntly, the seat under his butt was being stared at by this guy.

If this man hadn't been a relative of Deputy Factory Director Li, he would have found some excuse to get him away.

However, looking at Qian Yixing's current appearance, Section Chief Zhao's heart moved and his voice became cold and stern.

"Qian Yixing, tell me, what's going on?"

"Whether the matter has been thoroughly investigated or not? The person has been detained for a day. If you don't want to give an explanation for this matter, you can give me an explanation."

As he spoke, Section Chief Zhao burst out with murderous aura. This murderous aura honed on the battlefield made the whole room become cold, and everyone's faces showed shock.

Only Xu Yuanshan was smoking calmly without any expression.

At this time, Qian Yixing had already sobered up a little, and his heart was in a state of shock.

After receiving the report yesterday, he arrested the client, Yang Xiaotao. He originally thought that after the evidence was conclusive, he could do something extraordinary by interrogating him again today, letting the people in the security department know that he, Qian Yixing, was not Easy to get along with.

Unexpectedly, while he was still asleep at home, he was woken up by his colleagues and rushed here.

When Section Chief Zhao asked, Qian Yixing immediately cheered up and told the story, "Section Chief, I went to the courtyard where Yang Xiaotao was to collect information."

"Many of them pointed out that Yang Xiaotao relied on the materials in the yard to speculate and make huge profits. The facts are confirmed."

"Section Chief, this time it's definitely true."

Qian Yixing was a little excited after drinking. He took out the information and handed it to Section Chief Zhao like a treasure.

Section Chief Zhao glanced at it twice and then threw it aside and said to Wang Hao, "You tell me!"

But it was Wang Hao who told what happened in advance. At this time, Wang Hao also took out a notebook, which also contained information obtained from a visit to the courtyard.

"After our visits, interviews with everyone in the courtyard, and finally confirmation from Director Wang of the subdistrict office and Zhang from the police station."

"What we can conclude is that among these people, there are several families whose information is not credible."

"Either they have conflicts with Yang Xiaotao, or they are jealous."

"Among them, the remarks made by the factory that maliciously slandered Comrade Yang Xiaotao were found, after questioning, to be related to Xu Damao, the human projectionist in our factory. There was a conflict between the two, so they paid to hire someone to ruin Yang Xiaotao's reputation."

"As for Liu Haizhong's report on Comrade Yang Xiaotao's speculation, it was confirmed by Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office that it was completely false."

"Comrade Yang Xiaotao, the transactions between the vegetables grown in the courtyard and the neighbors do not involve funds or food stamps. They are purely about unity and friendship between the people."

"Especially to help the elderly and poor families living alone in courtyards. This was confirmed during our visit yesterday."

"To sum up, I believe that Comrade Yang Xiaotao was completely wronged."

After Wang Hao finished speaking, Qian Yixing broke out in cold sweat on his head.

"No, no, it's impossible."

Qian Yixing was shaking, unable to believe these facts.

But the other party handled the matter too meticulously. Even the comrades from the street office and the police station took care of Yang Xiaotao, which he had no choice but to believe.

For a moment, Qian Yixing was a little dizzy. Looking at Section Chief Zhao's cold face again, his legs began to tremble and he collapsed on the ground with a thud.

bang bang bang

Suddenly, there was a burst of clapping.

Then I heard Xu Yuanshan's voice, "The Security Department still has something to do, not bad!"

It seemed like a compliment, but Section Chief Zhao's face instantly turned red.

"You shameless guy, why are you still standing here? Go to the solitary room. You are not allowed to come out without my order."

Qian Yixing trembled, cursed Liu Haizhong countless times in his heart, turned around and walked to the solitary room.

"And you, release the people immediately!"

"Also, we sent people to arrest Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao."

Section Chief Zhao yelled at Wang Hao and others, and everyone left quickly.

For a while, Section Chief Zhao, Deputy Factory Director Xu and Wang Guodong were the only three people left in the office.

Siheyuan, backyard.

The deaf old lady was talking to the second aunt, and the two of them were smiling and talking very happily.

"Now, the yard is finally safe."

The deaf old lady spoke slowly, while the second aunt beside her picked the leeks she had brought back.

"That's right. Without that troublemaker, our compound will be more harmonious in the future."

Looking at the leeks in my hand, I felt that the ones grown in this yard were really good.

Big and tender, my wife will definitely like the scrambled eggs later.

Early in the morning, the third uncle got up and cleaned the door. He was also calculating in his mind how to distribute the vegetables brought back last night.

As for where these things came from, he didn't believe that Yang Xiaotao could come back.

If you can't come back, isn't it ownerless?

Thinking of the vegetable garden, he felt that as a people's teacher, he had the responsibility to take care of it.

After dinner, I'll go find the elder to discuss it.

If this happens, his family's life will be improved.

As he was sweeping the floor, he saw a group of people walking in outside the door.

There were five or six people wearing black overalls. He could tell at a glance that they were from the security department of the steel rolling mill.

Before he could figure out why he came here, Wang Hao had already led someone up to him and said coldly.

"You must be Yan Fugui, the third master of this courtyard."

Yan Fugui was a little nervous. Although he didn't do anything bad, he had done some bad things over the years, especially the vegetables at home, but they came from evil sources.

"Ah. Yes, yes, I am Yan Fugui."

"Well, we are from the security department of the steel rolling mill. We have come to find Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao. You can lead the way."

"Ah, oh!"

Yan Fugui breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that it was not him.

But then I heard about Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao, and I thought about it again.

Wang Hao didn't want to be delayed, so he walked through the gate without looking and walked towards the courtyard.

Yan Fugui woke up behind him and immediately ran up to guide him.
