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

Chapter 846: Teaching Yi Zhonghai a Lesson

Gu Nan's position in the factory is very important. Yi Zhonghai's actions are undoubtedly asking for trouble. Since Yi Zhonghai himself does not know how to judge the situation, he can't blame others.

After a moment's deliberation, Ma Jiefang decided to give Yi Zhonghai a chance. He turned to his assistant and said, "Go, get Master Yi some more parts." The assistant responded and quickly returned with a pile of parts. Although Yi Zhonghai expressed his gratitude, he didn't take the matter too seriously. However, as he picked up the parts and prepared to continue working, he was surprised to find that these once familiar parts were now somewhat unfamiliar to him.

Yi Zhonghai frowned and began to slowly study the parts, trying to regain his previous feeling. He told himself that he couldn't think about Gu Nan anymore, because as soon as he thought about Gu Nan, he would become irritable and his work would fail one after another. You know, he should have been familiar with the skills of a third-level fitter before, and it would come naturally. But now, completing the same task felt extremely difficult. In desperation, Yi Zhonghai could only force himself to concentrate and stop thinking about it.

Meanwhile, Gu Nan, on the other hand, was secretly delighted. He knew that the event he had been waiting for was getting closer and closer. However, he also understood that now was not the time to be complacent and that he had to maintain a calm mindset. After all, at this critical moment, any negligence could lead to all his efforts being wasted. As long as he could successfully get through this period, it would be his time to show his skills and fully demonstrate his abilities. Thinking of this, Gu Nan took a deep breath, a confident smile appeared on his face, and he began to arrange the next tasks in an orderly manner.

Gu Nan's life is now carefree. At the steel mill, he relies on his own abilities and skills to firmly hold his position as deputy director. Work is going smoothly, and everything is under his control. In his spare time, he enjoys the comfort of life, wondering what else could disrupt this peaceful life?

However, within the seemingly peaceful courtyard, there were undercurrents. Jia Zhang knew that Qin Huairu's life at the steel mill must be tough. Furthermore, if she didn't fight for the house in the backyard she'd been dreaming of, she might not be able to get it. After all, Yi Zhonghai was no longer the impressive eighth-level fitter he once was, but only a third-level fitter. Counting on Yi Zhonghai to help her get the house in the backyard was a bleak prospect.

Jia Zhang cast her eyes on Bang Geng. In her heart, Bang Geng was now the family's treasure. After all, Bang Geng was about to go to the countryside. Jia Zhang had her own little calculations in mind. She thought that if anything happened, she could blame it all on Bang Geng, who wouldn't dare to say anything anyway.

Jia Zhang's face was full of smiles as she called softly, "Banggeng, grandma wants to talk to you about something."

Banggeng was currently worried about going to the countryside. When he heard his grandmother calling him, a glimmer of hope welled up in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "Grandma, what's the matter? Do I not have to go to the countryside anymore?"

Jia Zhang felt helpless. How could she stop Banggeng from going to the countryside? But in order to coax Banggeng to do what she wanted, she forced a smile and said, "Banggeng, although grandma can't stop you from going to the countryside, this will do you a lot of good."

Banggeng had just been feeling happy that he might not have to go to the countryside, but when he heard what Jia Zhangshi said next, he immediately became unhappy again and muttered, "What's going on? How can it be good for me? I don't believe it."

Jia Zhang was not in a hurry. She said slowly, "Think about it, Banggeng, you can't stay in the countryside forever, right? When you come back in two years, your two sisters will have grown up, and there will be so little house at home. Where will you live when you come back?"

Bang Geng was a little confused by what Jia Zhang said. He wondered why he was already thinking about where to live when he returned to the countryside even though he hadn't even left yet. But he still followed Jia Zhang's lead and asked, "Grandma, where do you think I should live?"

Seeing that Banggeng had taken the bait, Jia Zhang was secretly delighted and quickly told him her thoughts: "Banggeng, this is what grandma thinks. The deaf old lady's house in the backyard is empty now. As long as we work hard and wait for you to come back, the backyard will be all yours. Just think about it, it would be great to have your own door and yard." After saying that, Jia Zhang looked at Banggeng expectantly, observing his reaction.

Banggeng was still a child, his mind still immature. After hearing what Jia Zhang said, he actually felt that she had some truth in her words. However, he was still a little worried and asked, "Grandma, do you think we are breaking the law by doing this?"

Jia Zhang didn't expect Bang Geng to be so timid. She couldn't help but slap him lightly, but she didn't use much force. She pretended to be angry and said, "You silly boy, what are you talking about here? You're going to the countryside soon, who would dare to mess with you? When you come back, the house will naturally be yours. You'll live in a spacious backyard then, how majestic."

Bang Geng was selfish to his core. When he heard the bright prospects described by Jia Zhangshi, he was a little shaken, but still a little afraid. He said, "But grandma, that old woman died in there. I'm a little scared."

Jia Zhang looked at Bang Geng with disappointment and said, "You are such a coward. The deaf old lady died outside. What does it have to do with us? If you don't fight for it, this house will be taken away by someone else. Think about it, if you have this house, who will dare to look down on you in the yard in the future?" Jia Zhang tried to use these words to dispel Bang Geng's concerns and let him act according to his plan.

Bang Geng was completely bewildered by Jia Zhang's sweet talk. Her words seemed to make some sense, leaving him momentarily bewildered. He scratched his head and asked, "So when are we going?"

Jia Zhang was secretly pleased. She knew Banggeng was easy to trick. She figured that as long as she took Banggeng to the backyard, even if something did happen, with Banggeng by her side, no one would say anything. She figured that after the deaf old lady passed away, the house would be empty anyway. If she could take it, the Jia family would have a much more comfortable life in the future.

The two came to the backyard. Jia Zhang looked at the deaf old lady's slightly old house with greed in her eyes, as if the house was already in her pocket.
