Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Chapter 789 Young People's Ambition 14

Liu Ping'an was originally leaning against the wall, his arms folded across his chest, quietly listening to everyone's discussion, a smile occasionally appearing on his face. Hearing Yan Bugui's words, he seemed to be suddenly injected with energy and suddenly became energetic.

He stood up suddenly, almost bumping into the table next to him because of his sudden movement, which made everyone laugh. He ignored all these things, his face flushed with excitement, his eyes flashing with excitement, and he said loudly: "Okay, then, it's settled.

This is like a carefully planned battle. Everyone must clearly define their roles and fulfill their responsibilities to achieve victory. Sister Qin, you have a good relationship with Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, and the others, and you're also very eloquent, so I'll ask you to be in charge of communicating with them. When you go, be sure to explain our plan to them in detail. Let them know that this is no joke; it's a crucial operation that affects the harmony and peace of our entire compound.

We must make sure they act realistically, just like the real thing, without any sloppiness or laziness. If they mess up, all our previous efforts will be wasted."

After saying that, Liu Ping'an turned his gaze to Yi Zhonghai again, with a respectful expression on his face, and continued: "Uncle Yi, you are a highly respected figure in our courtyard. Everyone respects you very much. Everyone is willing to listen to what you say. So, please, when we are chatting, casually mention that something seems to be amiss in the courtyard recently. For example, you can say, 'Why do I feel that there is something strange in our courtyard recently? It seems that there are noises from time to time, and I don't know what's going on', and then let everyone know what's going on. Once you say that, everyone will definitely start talking about it, and this will set off the atmosphere we want to create."

Finally, Liu Ping'an turned his gaze to Liu Haizhong and said with a smile, "Uncle Liu, you are responsible for playing the supporting role and echoing Uncle Yi's words. When Uncle Yi says that something is not right in the yard, you quickly pick up the conversation and say, 'Yeah, yeah, I feel it too. It seems that the noise is getting more and more frequent. I wonder if it will affect our normal life.' When you echo this, the atmosphere will be more realistic, and the new family will definitely be more convinced that there is really a problem in our yard."

After hearing Liu Ping'an's detailed and comprehensive arrangements, everyone in the room seemed to be ignited with enthusiasm. They nodded their heads like rattles, their faces filled with expressions of approval, and they made "hmm" sounds from time to time, obviously approving of the plan.

Qin Huairu had always been a decisive person. Seeing that everyone agreed, she immediately stood up from the worn wooden stool. Her movements were quick and decisive, without the slightest hesitation. She headed out the door like a gust of wind. Her destination was clear: to find Sha Zhu and Xu Damao and inform them of this important plan.

She walked briskly and soon arrived at Sha Zhu's house. It was a somewhat old but tidy house, with a common wooden door that still bore some traces of erosion from time. Qin Huairu raised her hand and knocked gently on the door. The "dong dong dong" sound was particularly clear in the quiet courtyard.

The door was quickly opened, and it was Sha Zhu who opened it. He was wearing a worn apron with some oil stains and vegetable leaves on it, and it was obvious that he was busy cooking in the kitchen. He was holding a spatula in his hand, and there were still some unfinished dishes on the spatula. Seeing Qin Huairu standing at the door, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face, and that smile was as bright as the flowers blooming in spring. He smiled and asked, "Sister Qin, what's the matter? Do you want to eat the food I cook? Let me tell you, I am planning to make my specialty today - braised pork. The taste is so delicious!"

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at him, a hint of reproach in her eyes, and said, "You're the only one who's always talking nonsense. All you do is eat. I'm here to tell you something important. There's a restless guy in our courtyard recently. Someone's been plotting behind the scenes, trying to destroy the harmony in our courtyard. You know, our courtyard has always been harmonious, and we're all like a family. We can't let this bad guy succeed. Liu Ping'an has come up with a plan to use his tricks against you. He wants you and Xu Damao to work together to put on a show."

Sha Zhu was originally grinning, but when he heard what Qin Huairu said, his eyes lit up instantly, like stars suddenly lighting up in the night sky, and his whole body perked up. He said excitedly, "Acting? Sure, Sister Qin, how do you do it? I, Sha Zhu, may not have any other talents, but acting is a piece of cake. Back then, when I was in school, I even participated in a cultural performance. The teacher praised me for my talent. Don't worry, I can definitely act well in this play."

Seeing Sha Zhu so enthusiastic, Qin Huairu felt more at ease. She explained her plan in detail, explaining when to start the performance, what the content would be, and what details to pay attention to. Her voice was clear and powerful, like an experienced teacher lecturing her students.

Sha Zhu listened attentively and nodded continuously, his head nodding like a chicken pecking at rice. When Qin Huairu finished speaking, he slapped his chest suddenly, and the sound of "bang" seemed to pat out the determination in his chest, and he promised: "Sister Qin, don't worry, I will take care of this matter. Xu Damao and I will definitely act out this drama more realistically than the real thing. Just wait and see, when the time comes, let the person behind the scenes think that our courtyard is really in chaos, and see what tricks he can play. I, Sha Zhu, don't have any other abilities, but I have a lot of brute force and enthusiasm. For the harmony of our courtyard, I will definitely go all out."

After leaving Sha Zhu's house, Qin Huairu went to Xu Damao's house again. Xu Damao was lying on the sofa reading a book. Seeing Qin Huairu coming, he sat up and said sarcastically, "Hey, Sister Qin, what brings you here?"

Qin Huairu said unhappily, "Stop joking, let's get down to business. A bad guy has come to our yard and wants to disrupt our peace. Liu Ping'an has come up with an idea. He wants you and Sha Zhu to act out a scene together, pretending to quarrel over some trivial matter, so that the bad guy will think there's a conflict in our yard."

Xu Damao's eyes turned and he said, "Okay, I'll take this job. But, Sister Qin, I have to get some benefits from playing this role."

Qin Huairu glared at him. "It's already this late, and you're still thinking about the benefits. This is for the good of our entire courtyard. If the courtyard is not peaceful, you won't have a good life either. Besides, when this is accomplished, everyone will definitely remember your contribution."

Xu Damao thought about it and felt that what Qin Huairu said made sense, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, Sister Qin, I'll listen to you. I will definitely act out this scene with Sha Zhu and make the person behind this mess look bad."

After arranging Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, Qin Huairu returned to Liu Ping'an's house and told everyone about the situation. Everyone felt that the plan was going smoothly and was waiting to see if the new family would take the bait.

Over the next few days, the yard was filled with the sounds of Sha Zhu and Xu Damao arguing. Sometimes they argued fiercely over the time allowed to use the clothesline, sometimes over the order in which the water taps should be used. The noise was so loud that it could be heard throughout the yard, drawing many neighbors to watch.

The newly moved family heard the quarrels and smiled triumphantly. They thought their plan had worked and that the people in the yard had begun to quarrel among themselves. So they became bolder and began to spread rumors in the yard, trying to further intensify the conflict.

However, what they didn't know was that all of this was under the control of Liu Pingan and his team. Yan Bugui secretly observed their every move every day and recorded their actions and words in detail.
