Siheyuan: The Rebirth of the Silly Pillar in the 50s

"Nowadays, things are getting more and more expensive. In addition to not having enough food for our family, daily necessities are also hard to buy..."

Qin Huairu said it very cryptically.

Yi Zhonghai still heard the implication of her words.

He frowned and said, "Dongxu can earn more than [-] yuan a month now that he has become a full-time employee. It should be enough for a family of three!"

"It used to be enough, but now that prices have risen, we really can't make ends meet every month. You see, it's only the middle of the month, and our family has no money. You are not an outsider, and I would be embarrassed if I hadn't met you. Talk about this matter. Look, you are alone now. If you are rich, can you first..."

"Huairu..."

Yi Zhonghai pondered for a while and said: "The prices outside have gone up. Not only have they gone up in your home, but they have also gone up in my house. Even though I am a human being, my expenses are not small. Twenty kilograms of food a month is enough." ”

"Then what should we do in the second half of the month?"

Qin Huairu frowned, with tears in her eyes. Her pitiful look would move anyone who saw her.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't bear it anymore.

He said: "Then I can only borrow it. You will still have to pay it back when the time comes."

"Uncle Yi, aren't you a heretic by saying this?"

Yi Zhonghai said "Huh?" in his heart.

What did Qin Huairu mean by saying this?

"We, Dongxu, are your pensioned sons. How can the money I give to my son be considered a loan?"

"Doesn't he agree to support me in my old age now?"

"If you pay, you will be rewarded!"

Qin Huairu chuckled and said, "If you pay for our family now, Dongxu can repay you later, right? When you get old, he will also give you pension money. Don't you think so?"

Yi Zhonghai was surrounded and felt that what Qin Huairu said seemed to make sense.

"And it's not that Dongxu disagrees now, it's that he is not ready yet. If you are good to our family, Dongxu's heart is not made of stone. How could he not be grateful to you? He is grateful to you. When you get older, How can you not count on him? If you put in such a small amount, you will get a huge reward!"

"That's true."

Yi Zhonghai nodded. It was obvious that he had been persuaded.

"Then I'll give your family another hundred thousand. I have to live and have some money on hand."

"About [-]."

"Why do you want so much?"

"Look, there are three of us in our family. If we divide it one hundred thousand yuan per person, we can't even get it together. If we divide it one hundred and fifty thousand yuan, it only costs fifty thousand yuan. It's not easy to support a family now. There are three of us in the family!"

"Alright, alright."

Yi Zhonghai handed it to Qin Huairu.

"Then let's give him food and money together. I'll come find you when the time comes."

"Isn't it just this time? Why do you still come every month?"

"Dongxu doesn't earn that much salary every month. If you pay this month but don't pay next month, our family is still short of money. Don't worry so much. As long as Dongxu relaxes, I will definitely treat you in the future. OK."

Yi Zhonghai thinks about it.

It is reluctant that the child cannot catch the wolf.

The current investment is aimed at doubling the return in the future.

He is now alone.

Always leave yourself a way out.

Thinking of this, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.

"Okay, okay. Then you can come to me when there is no one around, and the neighbors in the province will make irresponsible remarks."

"Don't worry, Uncle Yi. I'm leaving then, Uncle Yi."

Qin Huairu would never say thank you.

She naturally felt that everything Yi Zhonghai gave them was deserved.

How could Yi Zhonghai expect his family to support him in his old age?

Can he do it without paying if he wants something in return?

Besides, he came to the door on his own initiative.

If not him, who should I ask for?

As for this secret transaction, Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang were completely unaware of it.

All the [-] yuan was put neatly into his pocket.

What else does Qin Huairu have to worry about?

If you have money, you have confidence!

Qin Huairu thought of this, with a very satisfied smile on her face.

She swayed back home and continued to act out her own drama of suffering - a hard-working woman who was abused by her mother-in-law and was in danger of death but worked hard without complaining.

But Yi Zhonghai is different.

When he returned home, he saw his empty food tank and his thinning wallet, and fell into deep contemplation.

Have you been fooled?

Yi Zhonghai smoked a pack of cigarettes before he could react.

He used his current money and food to buy Jia Dongxu's future protection for him.

Is this a solid investment?

Who can say with certainty what will happen in ten or even twenty years?

What if Jia Dongxu doesn't support himself?

Or what if Jia Dongxu has an accident?

Then wouldn’t my investment be in vain?

He and Qin Huairu haven't signed an agreement yet, so how can Qin Huairu guarantee that Jia Dongxu can support him in the future?

The more he thought about it, the more wrong he felt.

I paced around the house anxiously.

He couldn't think of any solution.

First of all, Jia Dongxu is now unwilling to provide for himself in old age.

He agreed to Qin Huairu so that she could help him infiltrate Jia Dongxu.

But so far, there are no results at all.

Secondly, Jia Dongxu’s thoughts have always been conveyed through Qin Huairu.

He couldn't understand it right away.

He didn't know whether Qin Huairu had lied or whether she was being mean-spirited in the process of passing on the message.

But now he has to go through the middleman Qin Huairu.

How can we bypass Qin Huairu and go directly to Jia Dongxu?

Jia Dongxu doesn't even want to talk to him in the factory now.

There was absolutely nothing he could do about it.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't understand and scratched his head.

Suddenly a person flashed in my mind - a deaf old lady.

When the deaf old lady was around, he also had a military advisor and a think tank.

But the deaf old lady was gone, and he was immediately in disarray on his own.

This was the first time he realized that he desperately needed the deaf old lady.

Even thinking about this need, he regretted stabbing her in the back.

He wanted to talk to the deaf old lady. Of course, the old lady was not easy to fool, so of course he couldn't go empty-handed.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't relax for a quarter of an hour.

He quickly got up and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bunch of food and drinks and took them to the welfare home.

He walked in under the guidance of the staff and smelled a foul smell as soon as he entered.

The environment was so bad that he could hardly imagine it.

Children were rambunctious and old people were walking around on crutches.

Suddenly a familiar voice sounded.

"You run slowly! You must take this medicine! Otherwise, we will all be infected!"

Yi Zhonghai looked over following the sound and saw a deaf old lady chasing a four or five-year-old child to take medicine.

Children run fast when they are young.

The deaf old lady, who had bad legs and feet, chased after her and fell down.

The children's jeers suddenly sounded all around.
