Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

The courtyard in the evening is like a peaceful and life-filled picture. The afterglow of the setting sun falls on the ancient eaves, giving the blue-gray tiles a warm golden coat.

In the yard, curls of cooking smoke rise from the chimneys of each house. The faint smoke fills the air, carrying the smell of firewood, rice, oil and salt. The breeze blows gently, blowing the branches and leaves of the old trees in the yard.

, making a rustling sound

The third uncle was sitting in the room, looking towards the kitchen from time to time, looking forward to the delicious meat that was about to come. He imagined the plump pork rolling in the pot, exuding an alluring aroma, and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly.

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came. The third uncle was slightly startled. Before he could react, Mrs. Jia Zhang led Qin Huairu to the door in a hurry. Mrs. Jia Zhang's face was full of arrogance.

It was even more obvious the moment she saw the third uncle. She put her hands on her hips and stared at the third uncle with unkind eyes. Qin Huairu stood aside with a trace of embarrassment and helplessness on her face, but she seemed to have some firm determination.

"Lao Yan, I heard that your family cut into that meat for no reason. Today you have to give us an explanation." Jia Zhang's voice was sharp and harsh, breaking the tranquility of the courtyard in the evening. The third uncle heard this.

, his face suddenly became ugly. He frowned, stood up, and responded without showing any signs of weakness: "Don't talk nonsense, he bought the meat that we chopped by himself, what's so unclear about it?

But Jia Zhang was reluctant and continued to say loudly: "Humph, who believes it? Can you afford ten pounds of meat these days? You must have done something shameful." The third uncle was so angry that he was shaking all over.

He pointed at Mrs. Jia Zhang and said, "Don't slander me. Our family already has a job. What's wrong with having money to buy meat?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang folded her hands in front of her chest, with a look of suspicion and disdain on her face, "Humph, Yan Jiecheng can still find a job? I don't believe it." Her voice was sharp and determined, as if she had seen through all the lies.

The third uncle was irritated by Mrs. Jia Zhang's attitude, his face turned red, "Don't believe it, Xie Cheng has found a job." But Mrs. Jia Zhang was not moved at all, and still shook his head stubbornly.

The third uncle had no choice but to raise his voice and shout: "Jie Cheng, come out for a moment." The voice echoed in the courtyard, with a hint of urgency and anger.

After a while, Yan Jiecheng walked out of the house. There was a trace of impatience on his face, obviously dissatisfied with this sudden trouble. "Dad, what's the matter?" Yan Jiecheng looked at the third uncle, and then glanced at

Looking at Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu, their eyes were full of doubts.

The third uncle pointed at Jia Zhang and said, "Tell them, have you found a job?" Yan Jiecheng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing. He puffed up his chest and said confidently: "Yes, I found a job.

, so we can afford meat." Jia Zhang still didn't believe it, "You found it when you said you found it? Who can prove it?" Yan Jiecheng was made furious by Jia Zhang's nonsense, "Believe it or not, I am anyway.

Got a job."

Jia Zhang's wrinkled face was full of determination. She pointed her finger at Yan Jiecheng and said in a sharp voice: "Humph, don't deny it, your meat must have been stolen. How can you be so easy in these days?"

Can you afford ten pounds of meat? You even said you found a job. I think it’s all lies.”

Her eyes were fixed on Yan Jiecheng, as if she wanted to see the guilty look on his face. The more Jia Zhang spoke, the more excited she became, and her saliva flew everywhere: "Our courtyard does not tolerate petty thieves. If you

If you don't tell me honestly, I will tell everyone in the hospital and let everyone comment."

Qin Huairu stood aside with a troubled expression on her face. She gently pulled the corner of Jia Zhang's clothes, as if she wanted her to stop being so aggressive. But Jia Zhang ignored her at all and continued to stare at Yan Jiecheng menacingly, waiting.

with his response.

Yan Jiecheng's face turned red with anger at Jia Zhang's accusation. He clenched his fists, glared at Jia Zhang and said, "Don't slander me. My meat is not stolen. I have friends who helped me find a job. I have

Money buys meat.”

The third uncle also stood up to speak for Yan Jiecheng: "Jia Zhang, please don't talk nonsense. We Jiecheng will not do such sneaky things. Don't make unreasonable troubles here."

However, Mrs. Jia Zhang couldn't listen at all. She still insisted on her own opinion.

Qin Huairu looked at the tense situation and quickly stepped forward with a forced smile on her face. She said softly: "Brother Jie Cheng, third uncle, third aunt, let's stop arguing. This matter is not impossible.

Solve it. As long as brother Jie Cheng gives our Jia family five kilograms of meat, we will leave immediately and we will not tell this matter. Otherwise..." Qin Huairu paused slightly, with a hint of threat flashing in his eyes.

When Yan Jiecheng, the third uncle and the third aunt heard this, they immediately understood the purpose of their visit. Yan Jiecheng was so angry that his face was livid. He glared at Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang and said loudly: "You are blackmailing! My flesh is mine.

I bought it myself, why should I give it to you?" The third uncle was also shaking with anger. He pointed at Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang and said, "You guys have gone too far. Isn't this bullying?" The third aunt was furious at the side.

She shed tears and kept mumbling: "What can we do? What can we do?"

But Mrs. Jia Zhang was not moved at all. She put her hands on her hips and said loudly: "Humph, it's okay if you don't give me meat. Then we will tell everyone in the hospital about this and see how you can get a foothold in this courtyard in the future."

Qin Huairu also echoed: "Brother Jiecheng, think about it carefully, five pounds of meat in exchange for our silence is a good deal." Yan Jiecheng, the third uncle and the third aunt were in a dilemma.

The third aunt's face was full of anxiety, and her eyes shone with worry. She gently tugged on the third uncle's sleeves, and said in a low voice: "Old man, why don't we agree to Jia Zhang's family? If not, she will really

This matter is getting serious, and we won't end up in a bad way." As the third aunt said, she looked nervously at the door, as if she was afraid that Mrs. Jia Zhang would rush in and make a fuss at any moment.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The third uncle frowned tightly, his face was terrifyingly gloomy. His eyes revealed anger and determination, and he shook his head fiercely and said: "No! Then Jia Zhang

Who is she? She is just an insatiable master. If I agree to her this time, she will definitely take advantage of her in the future, and she will control her to death." The third uncle's voice trembled slightly with anger, and his hands tightened

Clenched into a fist.

"Think about it, if you ask for five pounds of meat this time, what might you ask for next time? We can't be so weak and let her bully us." The third uncle became more and more excited as he talked. He paced back and forth in the room, his heart full of thoughts.

Disgust for Jia Zhang and worry about the current situation.

The third aunt became even more panicked when she saw the third uncle being so determined. She wrung her hands, tears welling up in her eyes: "But old man, what should we do now? We can't just remain in a stalemate like this. What if Jia Zhang is really

Go tell everyone in the hospital, what will happen after the solution is completed?" The third uncle stopped, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down. After thinking for a moment, he said: "We can't compromise so easily, we have to think about it.

There is a way to deal with her."

Yan Jiecheng's face was so gloomy that he could drip water, his eyes were on fire, and the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed. He stood up suddenly, pointed his finger at Mrs. Jia Zhang, and cursed angrily: "Mr. Jia Zhang, you are just a

Scoundrel! Why do you want to extort our meat? I bought this meat with my own money, what does it have to do with you?"

His voice echoed in the room, full of anger and dissatisfaction. Yan Jiecheng's chest heaved violently, and his eyes revealed determination. "Get away quickly and don't act wild in my house. I won't let you succeed, you

Don't even think about it." As he said this, he strode towards Jia Zhang, as if he really wanted to drive her away.

The third uncle and the third aunt were filled with worries when they saw Yan Jiecheng being so excited. They were afraid that Yan Jiecheng would do something extreme on impulse, so they quickly stepped forward to hold him back. "Jie Cheng, don't be impulsive, calm down." The third aunt was anxious.

The third uncle also frowned and said to Jia Zhang, "Jia Zhang, please don't go too far. Our family member Jie Cheng is right, you are acting rogue. Go away quickly and don't make trouble here."

Already."

But Mrs. Jia Zhang was not moved at all. She put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest, looking unreasonable. "Humph, I won't leave."

Yan Jiecheng was extremely angry at this time, and his eyes seemed to burst out of fire. Looking at Jia Zhang's rogue appearance, the anger in his heart burned to the top in an instant.

"Get out of here!" Yan Jiecheng roared, unable to control his emotions anymore. He raised his foot and kicked Jia Zhang hard. Jia Zhang had no time to react and only felt a huge force coming.

, the body flew out involuntarily.

She fell heavily to the ground outside the house and let out a painful groan. Jia Zhang's face was full of shock. She never expected that Yan Jiecheng would be so bold and dare to attack her. She struggled to stand up, but her mouth was full of shock.

He kept cursing: "Yan Jiecheng, you bastard! How dare you hit me, I won't let you go."

Yan Jiecheng stood at the door, his chest heaving violently, his eyes still full of anger. "If you come to blackmail our family again, I will beat you." His voice was cold and decisive, without the slightest fear.

Jia Zhang sat on the ground in a state of embarrassment, her heart filled with anger and humiliation. She suddenly shouted at the top of her voice: "Yan Jiecheng is a thief! His meat was stolen!" Her voice was sharp and harsh, in the quiet courtyard.

echoed in.

This shout instantly alerted the residents of the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai frowned and walked quickly towards this side. As the elder of the courtyard, he felt that he had the responsibility to deal with this matter. Liu Haizhong also came over aggressively, thinking

He wanted to show his authority in front of everyone. Silly Zhu was curious and wanted to see what happened.

Yi Zhonghai walked up to Jia Zhang and Yan Jiecheng and asked seriously: "What's going on? Why is there a quarrel?" When Jia Zhang saw someone coming, she became even more excited. She pointed at Yan Jiecheng and cried:

"Yan Jiecheng bullied others and even beat me. His meat must have been stolen, otherwise how could he afford so much." Yan Jiecheng's face turned red with anger and he retorted loudly: "Don't slander others, my meat is mine."

Bought."

Liu Haizhong put his hands behind his back, assuming a leader's posture, and said: "Stop arguing, let's talk about what you have to say. Yan Jiecheng, can you tell me where your meat comes from?" Silly Zhu hugged him beside him.

He raised his arms and watched the farce with great interest.

The third uncle waved his hands anxiously, with a look of panic on his face. "Everyone, everyone, this is all a misunderstanding. He really bought the meat himself. He found a job and had money to buy meat."

He explained, nervously watching everyone's reactions.

However, Mrs. Jia Zhang didn't listen to the third uncle's explanation at all. She sat down on the ground and started rolling around. "It's not a misunderstanding, Yan Jiecheng is a thief. Otherwise, how could he afford ten kilograms of meat? In these days and months

Who can be so generous? Let Si Zhu call the police and arrest him." Jia Zhang's voice was sharp and harsh, and her eyes were full of malice and the pleasure of revenge.

Yi Zhonghai frowned and fell into deep thought. He didn't know who to believe. After all, this matter was indeed a bit fishy. Liu Haizhong puffed up his chest and looked like he wanted to uphold justice. "Yan Jiecheng, if you really didn't steal the meat,

, just come up with evidence. Otherwise, this matter will be difficult to handle."

Yi Zhonghai didn't care whether Yan Jiecheng stole meat.

He just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the third uncle.

The third uncle pulled Yi Zhonghai aside with an anxious look on his face, his eyes full of pleading. "First uncle, you must help me figure it out. This is really a misunderstanding. It means he didn't steal the meat."

There was a tremor in his voice, and he knew the seriousness of this matter.

Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly, a hint of calculation flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Third uncle, this matter is not easy to handle. That shrew of Jia Zhang's family insists that understanding is stealing meat, if not

It is difficult to calm down this storm with a reasonable explanation." The third uncle nodded quickly and said eagerly: "Yes, yes, you are right, sir. Do you think you can help me think of a solution?"

There was a hint of cunning in Yi Zhonghai's eyes. He coughed lightly and said: "Third uncle, you also know that I have always wanted to be a steward in this courtyard. If you can support me, I can help Xie Cheng fight."

A cover." When the third uncle heard this, his heart suddenly tightened. He did not expect that Yi Zhonghai would make such a request at this time, but for Yan Jiecheng, he had no other way.

"First Master, as long as you can help Xie Cheng overcome this difficulty, I will definitely support you in becoming the Supervisor." Third Master gritted his teeth and made a promise. A satisfied smile appeared on Yi Zhonghai's face, and he patted him.

The third uncle looked over his shoulder and said: "Okay, that's settled. I will find a way to help Jie Cheng solve this problem."

Yi Zhonghai felt happy.

If we have Yi Zhonghai's support this time, we might be able to remove Xu Damao from his position as the second uncle in the future.

Of course, the ultimate goal is to bring down Wang Weidong too.
