Chapter 325 Pandora's Box is opened

Nanluoguxiang.

Yard 95, backyard.

Liu Haizhong stood at the door of Xu Damao's house with his big belly sticking out, looking very satisfied, and glanced at the other neighbors in the yard.

This month, things changed at the steel rolling mill. Director Yang stepped down and Deputy Director Li became the top leader of the mill and became the director.

This change gave him, who had always dreamed of becoming a leader, an opportunity.

So one day, he went straight into Li Huaide's office and expressed his loyalty.

Director Li, who had just become the head of the steel rolling mill, did not think much of him. He thought that he should be a fitter in the workshop and stay out of political affairs.

At that time, Liu Haizhong hurriedly explained, but the effect was not very good, so he thought quickly and mentioned Wang Mengde's name.

Sure enough, this trick is very useful.

Li Huaide, who was originally a little impatient, changed his mind after hearing that Wang Mengde was a neighbor and had a very good relationship. He let him be a team leader first.

Specifically responsible for some work that offends people.

Liu Haizhong doesn't care whether he offends people or not. He only cares about finally becoming a leader.

After becoming the team leader, he led a group of people and started acting like a dog in the steel rolling mill, dealing with several factory leaders who had previously been at odds with Li Huaide.

This caused panic in the factory and everyone was afraid of him, which made him look very powerful.

After satisfying his desire to be a powerful leader in the factory, his attention began to turn to the yard.

As the eldest uncle in the courtyard, he was not worthy of his position, and many of his neighbors in the courtyard did not take him seriously before.

So he thought about establishing his authority in the courtyard.

At first he wanted to choose the troublemaker Sha Zhu first. After all, he always opposed him at every meeting, didn't respect him much, and had a close relationship with Yi Zhonghai.

After thinking about it carefully, I felt that Sha Zhu was not easy to control and there was no profit to be made from him. It would be better not to provoke such a poor and arrogant person.

After ruling out Sha Zhu, his target now focused on Xu Damao.

Firstly, Xu Damao had approached him before, wanting to be the big boss. Later, he figured it out and realized that Xu Damao wanted to use him as a gun, and he always kept this in mind.

Secondly, Lao Xu's family is rich, and the position of projectionist is particularly popular. Every time he comes back from the countryside, he brings large and small bags of supplies.

Besides, when Lou Xiao'e got married, she must have had a lot of dowry. Just the Lou family's wealth, if any of it was left, would be enough for an ordinary family to live on for a lifetime.

Both families lived in the backyard, and after a long time, Liu Haizhong knew a lot.

"Dad, Xu Damao has been brought out. According to your instructions, everyone else has come out first."

Outside the door, brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu pushed Xu Damao to his father and said with a smile on their faces.

Since their father became the leader of a steel mill, they also rose to prominence and became leaders among a group of young people in the neighborhood.

Today, he acted like a bully in the yard again. Let’s see who dares to look down on his brothers in the future.

"Well, remember, I'm not your father when you're working from now on. You have to call me team leader."

Liu Haizhong said with some dissatisfaction.

If it weren't for the fact that their movements were quite agile, he would have been ready to kick them.

"Yes, team leader!"

Liu Guangtian was rarely smart for once, and then immediately changed his words and shouted loudly.

Seeing that his son performed well, Liu Haizhong nodded secretly, then turned around and said to Xu Damao, who was looking at him with angry eyes and had his hands tied behind his back and a piece of rag stuffed in his mouth:

"Xu Damao, you were married to ZBJ's daughter Lou Xiao'e before, and although you divorced two years ago, I suspect that you pretended to divorce for a secret.

Lou Xiao'e and her family fled ahead of time. I suspect you were the one who tipped them off, so I'm going to search your house to see if there are any clues."

Having said that, regardless of Xu Damao's angry look, he leisurely led his two sons into Xu Damao's house, and then started rummaging through the drawers and cabinets.

At that time, ordinary people did not have safes, and there were only a few places to hide valuables, so they soon made a big harvest.

Looking at the pile of gold, silver, jewelry and valuables in front of him, Liu Haizhong stuffed some of them into his pocket without hesitation.

After training at the homes of other leaders of the steel rolling mill in the past few days, his movements have become much more skillful now.

Then he signaled to his two sons to take the remaining property and leave Xu Damao's house together.

"Xu Damao, after searching, we found that you have hidden a large amount of ZBJ's property in your home. These are the hard-earned money of the people and must be handed over.

Also, you should be honest during this period and be ready to answer my questions at any time."

Having said that, he walked straight out of the courtyard. He was going to hand in all the property that had been copied today so that Director Li could see his performance.

After the group of people left with their heads held high, Xu Damao finally struggled to untie the rope with the help of his neighbors.

Taking the rag out of his mouth, he was furious and shouted in the direction where Liu Haizhong left, "Liu Haizhong, I am not done with you."

As he said this, he ran home quickly with a look of heartache on his face. He had just seen that most of his belongings hidden in boxes and cracks in the wall had been looted.

After entering the house, he saw the mess and the valuables in the boxes and cracks in the walls were all gone. He sat down on the floor.

Finished!

All the property that was snatched from the Lou family, as well as the money saved by the family, were gone.

After lying on the ground for a long time, he suddenly thought of something, then crawled under the bed and checked carefully.

Thank God, the few big yellow croakers hidden under the bed are still there, so there is still a chance to turn the situation around.

There was a ferocious look in his eyes. This vengeance must be avenged. Not only Liu Haizhong, but also Sha Zhu and Wang Mengde who were watching the fun on the sidelines would have to pay the price.

Thinking of this, he looked at the place where the gold bars were buried under the bed, and gradually came up with an idea.

After this incident happened in the yard, the neighbors gathered together to discuss it.

"This is a sign of good fortune for the uncle. I heard that he is the confidant of the newly appointed Director Li at the steel mill, and he is asked to do many things."

"Who says it's not true? The former workshop director was brought home by an old man to copy the documents, and he beat the man severely. Now the workshop director is still cleaning the toilet."

"Xu Damao is so unlucky. He married a wife who couldn't have children, and after she ran away, he was still implicated."

"You can't say that. Who knows if the two people are really divorced or just faking it? Didn't you see what the uncle copied from Xu Damao's house? The old Xu family didn't have these."

"Yes, these are definitely the belongings left by Lou Xiao'e. She left these behind after getting divorced and running away. This is very suspicious."

Some people are happy while others are worried about Xu Damao's misfortune.

The good news is that Xu Damao, relying on his job as a projectionist, eats meat at home every now and then, which makes the neighbors very envious.

Now, finally bad luck has come, making many people happy.

What is worrying is that this old man actually ran directly into the yard to search the house, and he might do the same to his own family in the future.

Especially those families who didn't take Liu Haizhong seriously before, were all thinking in their hearts whether they should bring some food and sit at the old man's house in the evening.

"Meng De, my buddy is in a good mood today, let's have a good drink."

In the living room of Sha Zhu's house, Sha Zhu said happily.

Today, his mortal enemy Xu Damao was in trouble. He watched it from the beginning to the end. If Yu Li hadn't stopped him, he would have jumped up and down and clapped his hands. So, when he came back from the backyard, he immediately pulled Wang Mengde together and prepared to have a couple of bottles of wine at noon to celebrate.

"Okay, let's have a drink at noon. I'll go back and get some meat and vegetables."

Wang Mengde said with a smile.

Ever since he moved to Guang'anmen, he seldom came here, and he and Sha Zhu haven't had a drink together for a long time.

It was summer vacation for the children, and the clothes and bedding in the house needed to be dried in the sun, so he and his family planned to come here and live for ten days or half a month.

I didn’t expect to see such a good show just two days after arriving.

When the food was almost ready, a crisp voice came from outside: "Wow, it smells so good, it seems I am in for a treat."

Then, Yu Haitang walked in prettily.

She saw Wang Mengde sitting at the dinner table, was stunned for a moment, and then her face suddenly lit up with joy:

"Brother Meng De is here too."

Having said that, he sat down opposite.

"Haitang is here. You haven't eaten yet, right? You'll have a treat at noon. Your brother Meng De brought some lamb shanks over. Come and have a taste later."

Sha Zhu, wearing an apron around his waist and holding a spatula in his hand, said with a smile.

He is now married to Yu Li, and unlike the old Yan family in the original drama, they are very nice to everyone in the Li family.

As the sister-in-law, Yu Haitang would come over from time to time to eat.

"Really? Then I won't leave at noon.

By the way, I have to thank Brother Meng De for letting me taste mutton."

"Haha, you're welcome."

Soon, several delicious dishes were placed on the table, and the staple food was steamed corn bread made of Erhe flour.

After three rounds of drinking, Sha Zhu put down his glass, glanced at Yu Haitang, and said worriedly:
"Meng De, you know a lot of people, see if there is anyone suitable and introduce someone to Haitang. She is 24 years old now and still has no partner.

The rain is as heavy as she is, and now the baby is almost born."

After saying that, he looked at Wang Mengde with expectation.

Next to her, Yu Haitang, who was gnawing on a lamb leg, was a little unhappy. She reluctantly put down the lamb leg in her hand, raised her head and said unhappily:
"Brother-in-law, you are talking about me again. Weren't you almost thirty when you first met my sister?"

"Hey, girl, I was only 26 or 27 years old at that time, how come I'm 30 now?"

Sha Zhu said with a helpless smile.

"That's almost thirty years old."

"Okay, no more jokes, Haitang, you need to find a partner now. Your mother-in-law has been worried sick for the past two years."

"Brother-in-law, it's not that I don't want to find someone, but I just haven't found anyone I like."

Yu Haitang also put away his joking intention and spoke in a low voice.

After saying that, he secretly glanced at Wang Mengde.

Ever since she met Meng Dege, her standards for finding a partner have been raised significantly.

Because she was beautiful and outgoing, many people wanted to introduce her to potential partners. Even Yang Aimin, the nephew of former factory director Yang, had pursued her for a long time.

It's a pity that she doesn't like these people, which is why she is still single now.

"Then I'll introduce you to a few more. Maybe you'll find one that you like." Sha Zhu picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth, then said:
"By the way, has Xu Damao harassed you recently? If he comes to you again, tell me or I will punish him."

As a beauty in the steel rolling mill, Xu Damao is also an LSP and he wants to get to know Yu Haitang from time to time.

When Sha Zhu found out about this, he beat him up severely.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry. I don't like Xu Damao's appearance."

"Not only his appearance, but also his character is not good. Just remember, stay away from him."

Wang Mengde was standing aside, watching the two people chatting, and felt a little amused.

In his previous life, he had seen these two people in a TV series, and they were a pair of bickering lovers, but in the end, they couldn't be together because of Widow Qin.

After drinking, Yu Li and a few others went out to play, leaving only Wang Mengde and Sha Zhu in the living room.

"Meng De, the medicine you gave me last time was really effective.

Do you have any more? Give me ten or eight more bottles."

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Sha Zhu spoke in a low voice under the influence of alcohol.

After taking the 'Palace Emperor Pills', he felt like he was even more powerful, and he finally stood up straight in front of Li at night.

"Silly Zhu, I'll give you a few more bottles. They'll be sold in pharmacies or hospitals in the future."

Wang Mengde said.

After two years of integration, two "trust"-level traditional Chinese medicine groups were formed in the north and south.

In addition to optimizing the production process and upgrading the equipment, the output of raw materials has also increased significantly. Due to various reasons, the market for "Palace Emperor Pills" has finally formed a situation of oversupply abroad.

In order to recover a large amount of funds from society and reduce inflation, the country plans to launch this product on the domestic market in a few days.

When Wang Mengde learned about it, he was shocked.

This is to put this medicine on par with high-end restaurants, expensive cakes and candies and other supplies.

At the same time, he had to admire the person who came up with this idea. He was truly a genius.

"Really? I can buy it in the hospital in the future? Is it expensive?"

Sha Zhu asked with a look of surprise.

"I don't know the price, but they are sold in hospitals, but the quantity may not be very large, so I suggest you buy more and keep them at home."

A week later.

In major hospitals and pharmacies, "Palace Emperor Pills" have quietly appeared on medicine cabinets or doctors' prescriptions, and many people are unaware of the magic of this medicine.

Only a small number of people try to use it after reading the instructions or being recommended by a doctor.

After these people experienced it, they were immediately amazed.

Then, 'Pandora's Box' was opened.

Every day, the domestic sales of "Palace Emperor Pills" are rising sharply.

Even more than double the day before.

Before long, the medicine was sold out as soon as it was put on the shelves, and many people began to use their connections to get through the back door just to get a bottle of medicine.

Finally, the government saw this situation and printed a ticket, requiring purchases to be made with the ticket.
