Siheyuan: I just came across and wanted to chase me away

Chapter 890 Yan Bugui takes money

Qin Huairu snatched back her twenty yuan with a swift and decisive move. Liu Haizhong followed suit and took back his own money.

After all, the money originally belonged to him, but what he hated most now was that Yan Bugui called the police. What did he do? How could he call the police? What should he do with this matter in the future?

Yan Bugui looked at his empty palm, shaking with anger. He glared at Qin Huairu, turned around and walked home, his steps hurried and heavy, as if he was angry with someone. He knew in his heart that he had really lost a lot this time - not only did he not make any money, but his reputation in the courtyard was completely ruined. He was afraid that no one would take him, the second uncle, seriously anymore.

Liu Haizhong turned to look at Yi Zhonghai, with a smug look on his face: "Old Yi, in my opinion, we should just hold a meeting of the whole hospital and remove Yan Bugui's title of "Second Uncle" to prevent him from embarrassing himself in the hospital."

Yi Zhonghai was very unhappy when he heard this. He thought to himself: What's going on? Earlier, there were rumors that he was going to take over his position as the "First Uncle", and now they are going to remove Yan Bugui's "Second Uncle". Could it be that in the end, this courtyard will become a place where Liu Haizhong has the final say? He forced a smile on his face and tried to smooth things over: "There's no rush. Let's talk about it later. I'm going back first."

Yi Zhonghai knew that Qin Huairu had just taken the money back, so it was not advisable to rush things at the moment. He could always find the right opportunity by taking his time.

Qin Huairu was immediately displeased when she saw Yi Zhonghai didn't mention the money, nor did he ask for his share. She knew Yi Zhonghai's intentions all too well—wasn't he just trying to use this little bit of affection to manipulate her, hoping that she would be completely obedient to him? Thinking of this, she felt disgusted and stormed back home.

After entering the house, Qin Huairu carefully put the money into her pocket, determined not to tell Jia Zhangshi. This money would be hers from now on, and if she saved more, it would come in handy.

On the surface, this matter seemed to have come to an end, but Liu Haizhong was still furious - when he thought about having to go to the Public Security Bureau to be scolded tomorrow, he was furious.

But the people in the courtyard seemed to have forgotten that Xu Damao was still imprisoned in the prison. These days, Xu Damao had suffered a lot in there, and his life was so frustrating.

Xu Damao had been hoping that Deputy Director Li would come and rescue him. Just as he was thinking about how to plead for mercy, Deputy Director Li actually came to see him. As soon as Xu Damao saw him, his eyes turned red, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and he shouted anxiously: "Deputy Director Li! You are finally here! Save me quickly, give me a chance! You must get me out! Life here is not a human life at all!"

Deputy Director Li looked at his miserable state with no expression on his face. He said slowly, "Xu Damao, I know you're having a hard time here. Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to get you out in a couple of days."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao stamped his feet anxiously. "Deputy Director Li, you said the same thing last time! But I'm still squatting here! If you don't care about me anymore, I'll report this to the higher-ups! Then everyone will know it was you who did it. I wonder how you can even try to defend yourself!"

Deputy Factory Director Li's face darkened. He stared at Xu Damao and said coldly, "Xu Damao, you're trying to force me, aren't you? Don't blame me for being rude then. If things really get out of hand, who'll be able to save you?"

Xu Damao was furious, but then he realized that Gu Nan wouldn't care about him. The only person he could rely on right now was Deputy Director Li. He quickly softened his tone and pleaded, "Deputy Director Li, please be magnanimous and give me a chance. Get me out! I'm being beaten every day here, and I can't take it anymore..."

Deputy Director Li stood there, his brow furrowed, his heart aching with rage. He hadn't wanted to see Xu Damao, but he couldn't resist the threat of him threatening to sue him. He said he had leverage over him and that if he didn't cooperate, he might be forced to make up stories. He feared his position as deputy director would be in jeopardy.

He looked up at Xu Damao across from him, his tone somewhat helpless: "Da Mao, just hold on a little longer. You know, Gu Nan has been very powerful in the steel mill recently. He's tough and doesn't tolerate any sand in his eyes. Think about it, if you go back to the steel mill at this critical moment, what good will it do to you? I'm afraid he'll have you under his thumb as soon as you enter."

Xu Damao's face was filled with sorrow. He knew that Deputy Director Li was telling the truth, but when he thought of his days in prison, he trembled all over. "But I'm bullied every day in prison. Beatings and kicks are commonplace. If this continues, I'll lose my life here. You have to find a way to help me with this!"

Deputy Director Li forced a smile and spoke more slowly, "Alright, Damao, don't panic. I've taken this to heart. I'll call them later and plead for you. I guarantee you'll be given a quiet cell. No one will dare to touch you again. How's that?"

Xu Damao's eyes flashed with hope, and he quickly asked, "Deputy Director Li, when can you get me out of here? I don't want to stay here even for a single day."

Deputy Director Li picked up the teacup, took a sip, and avoided his gaze: "Xu Damao, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter properly. In a few days, I will come and find a way to get you out. Just wait patiently."

Xu Damao persisted: "Then you have to give us a date, right? One or two days is too much, ten days or half a month is too much, I have no idea."

Deputy Director Li sneered inwardly. He had come here simply to appease Xu Damao and stop him from making a scene. As for "rescuing him," he didn't take the idea of ​​rescuing him seriously. Xu Damao was now a useless piece of shit without any weapons. What good would it do even if he was rescued? Besides, he had already checked and found that Xu Damao had no strong backing and couldn't cause any trouble.

Deputy Director Li looked at Xu Damao with an embarrassment on his face. "Damo, you know how tricky the situation is right now. I'm also overwhelmed and can't give you a definitive answer right away. Give me a few more days. I'll definitely find a solution in a couple of days, okay?"

Xu Damao looked at Deputy Director Li's evasive manner, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately understood - Deputy Director Li was simply perfunctory! He gritted his teeth and hardened his tone: "I know it's difficult for you, but every day I stay here is a day of suffering. So, I'll give you three days. If you don't make any move within three days, then neither of us will have an easy time!"
