The Great Era of Siheyuan

A group of more than a dozen men, women, old and young, with evil faces and very difficult-looking people were blocking the door and crying. All the guests who wanted to come in to eat were blocked by them.

Li Wenqiang frowned at the people who were crying and making a scene in front of him and asked them.

"What are you doing here? Get out of here now and don't disturb our business! If you don't leave, don't blame me for sending someone to arrest you!"

"Okay, you can quickly call someone to arrest us and take our whole family away. My husband just went in to buy some vegetables, but he was taken away by the police you called. I won't live like this anymore!"

A middle-aged woman sat down on the ground and started rolling around. People passing by pointed and talked and started eating melons.

Xu Huizhen couldn't help but speak when she heard her making up such nonsense.

"Can a group of people rush into the backyard to rob people when they are buying groceries? And beat people up and steal money?"

Although she didn't know why those people stole the money, she obviously didn't want to pursue the issue.

At this time, an old man stood up tremblingly.

"Even if my grandson is wrong, he shouldn't be arrested. He is still young and doesn't understand. How could you do this?"

Her words won the approval of many people, and many people began to sympathize with her.

Li Wenqiang frowned.

"Young? Being young means you can commit a crime? You are over 20 years old and still young? I think you are getting old and confused. Leave now, or I will call the police station and the street office to come over. You can decide for yourself what punishment you will receive!"

Some people in the crowd began to whisper, thinking that these family members were being unreasonable, while others felt that Li Wenqiang was a little unkind. An old lady of such an old age didn't even know how to be polite when speaking. In short, they just wanted to watch the fun and make trouble.

Seeing that they didn't respond, Li Wenqiang continued.

"A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. If you make a mistake, you must accept the punishment. It's useless for you to make trouble here."

The shrewish woman sat down on the ground and began to cry loudly.

"I can't live like this. How can I survive? Oh, God, please open your eyes!"

Li Wenqiang remained unmoved and turned to Zhao Yali and said.

"Call the police and let them handle it."

Zhao Yali nodded and was about to turn around to look for someone when a young man suddenly rushed out from the crowd with a wooden stick in his hand and rushed towards Li Wenqiang.

"I'll fight you!"

Li Wenqiang dodged the attack easily by moving sideways, and then kicked the young man to the ground.

"Behave yourself, everyone. If anyone dares to do anything, we will arrest them all!"

Li Wenqiang glared at him.

The young man was kicked in the stomach by him and felt his intestines were about to be tied into knots. He opened his mouth wide and kept inhaling.

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, Director Li rushed over with several police officers.

"What's going on? Are you making trouble again?"

Director Li asked. He had just returned to the street office and hadn't even sat down when he was told that someone had gone to the pub to cause trouble again.

Is this the end? The entire area around Zhengyangmen Qianmen Street has been receiving constant attention from leaders above. This is one of the first pilot projects for public-private partnerships in the country, and it must be foolproof.

In a situation like today, he has seriously neglected his duty and might even be held accountable. Seeing this group of people coming to cause trouble again, he was immediately furious.

Li Wenqiang briefly explained the situation.

Director Li's face darkened.

"Those who are causing trouble and endangering public order will be taken away!"

The police immediately took action and brought the troublemakers under control.

"I won't leave, let me go, and give my grandson back to me!"

"You can't do this. I'm leaving. Isn't it okay for me to leave?"

After hearing what Director Li said, the group of people immediately started to panic.

"Director Li, I'm really sorry to bother you this time."

Li Wenqiang said with a smile.

"As they should be. These people don't know what's good for them. They need to be taught a lesson."

Director Li waved his hand indifferently, then looked at the situation and spoke again.

"It's all right now. I'm leaving now. If anyone dares to make trouble in the future, you can go to the neighborhood office to find me, or other comrades. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he led everyone back again. Unlike when they came, there were more than a dozen people.

After the troublemakers were taken away, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Li Wenqiang and Xu Huizhen returned to the tavern, both feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

"It's been like this all day, there's no peace."

Xu Huizhen sighed.

"Don't worry, it's over now."

Li Wenqiang comforted.

"I hope so!"

Xu Huizhen knew that his words were just to comfort herself. Who could tell the real situation?

"How's the house over there that I told you about last time? Is your neighbor selling it?"

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Li Wenqiang changed the subject and asked.

"Sell it, but she said she wants three thousand dollars. I want to know what you think."

When it came to business, Xu Huizhen also perked up.

"Three thousand yuan? It's a bit expensive. Ask her this afternoon if the price can be lowered. Try to negotiate. If she doesn't lower the price, just buy it. I have a use for the house. I'll put the house in your name!"

Li Wenqiang thought for a while and said.

"Well, I'll talk to her later! It's getting late, go back to the house and take care of things. I'll go make dinner."

Xu Huizhen did not refuse. After saying that, she cheered up, adjusted her mood and walked towards the kitchen.

Looking at her back, Li Wenqiang felt that she was quite strong. Even though she had been frightened in the morning, she quickly adjusted her mentality. She was born with a big heart and was able to self-regulate her emotions. She was a person who could do great things. No wonder she could build so many big companies in the future.

When she returned to the house, the child had already been coaxed to sleep by her. The so-called watching over the child was just to let him have a rest.

On the other hand, Niu Ye returned home feeling very upset. He had never expected that things would turn out like this. It was beyond his expectation.

However, he couldn't guarantee whether Li Wenqiang would guess that he was the one behind the scenes. Seeing Li Wenqiang easily defeating more than a dozen people in the morning, he felt a little uneasy.

Seeing his father's sad face, his son asked curiously.

"Dad, what are you doing? I'm dizzy from all the spinning. You look like an idiot after coming back from the tavern. Is something wrong?"

Liu Youcai sat in the yard and watched his father walking around curiously.

"What do you know? Something happened in the tavern today. I wanted to find someone to suppress the tavern, but I didn't expect to run into a scoundrel at the beginning. Now I don't know if they thought of me! Do you think I am worried?"

"Since he doesn't even know it's you, what are you afraid of?"

Niu Youcai raised his fist to cheer him up.

"Go away, what are you doing making trouble for?"

Being interrupted by his son, Uncle Niu was still a little frightened, but he felt much better afterwards.

Because he thought of a wonderful idea, maybe he could test him by acting as an actor. If he could get close to the Manchus, it would be even better.

Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still and walked straight into the house.
