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

Siheyuan.

"Yes, yes! Right over here!"

He Yuzhu's cheerful voice appeared at the door of the compound along with the beeping sound of the car.

Neighbors heard the sound and ran to the door wrapped in coats to watch the excitement.

"What did you buy for this pillar?"

"It looks like a lot of good stuff!"

"Father and son both have dual careers, so they have to be tough on spending money!"

"Is it okay to just leave it here?"

asked the worker unloading the goods.

"Yeah. Just sign the order, it's all good."

He Yuzhu counted the amount and signed the order directly.

The beeping of the car sounded again. After the unloading workers left, the neighbors gathered around again.

"Zhuzi, what did you buy again?"

"What is this piece of iron that looks like a chimney?"

He Yuzhu smiled and replied: "I want to install a heater."

"Heating?!"

Neighbors were shocked.

Heating is something they have never heard of before.

Coal is a scarce thing these days, so they burn whatever they find when making fires.

Just put it directly into the stove, and several members of the family would gather around one stove to keep warm.

Those with better conditions also have a kang, but those with worse conditions have to sleep wrapped in a coat in winter!

It turned out that He Yuzhu had to get a heater directly.

"What is heating?"

A neighbor who had never seen the world immediately asked.

"You don't even know about heating? It's just...just..."

The neighbor who answered the question couldn't come up with any results even after a long time.

"You'll know when I get it out. Just give me a break and don't delay my work!"

He Yuzhu smiled and walked into the house while carrying his tools.

He Daqing heard the noise and quickly came out to help.

"You just said yesterday that you were going to get a heater and you brought your things back today? You moved pretty quickly!"

"That's right, my aunt is about to give birth. If I don't get it done early, I will suffer a big disaster during the birth!"

He Yuzhu smiled.

After he said this, everyone looked at Yi Zhonghai in the crowd.

Some people even couldn't hold back their secret laughter.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry!

He shouted without any regard for politeness: "What are you looking at? You don't know me!"

"Then I know you too well to look at you!"

The ambiguity of this sentence is even greater than He Yuzhu's sentence "Aunt Gao is about to give birth."

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he didn't want to argue anymore, so he turned around and left.

The comments from the neighbors hit him like knives stabbing his spine.

"To be honest, Lao Yi is quite pitiful. His wife can't even lay an egg with him, and she got pregnant as soon as she married someone else!"

"Can Gao Xiaocui rely on him for this? It's not Yi Zhonghai who can't do it himself!"

"You said that if Gao Xiaocui gave birth to a son, wouldn't he be angry to death?"

“It’s better to blame yourself than to blame the world!”

Yi Zhonghai clenched his fists but then let them go.

He couldn't be angry and had no right to be angry.

It is indeed his own problem that he and Gao Xiaocui have been married for so many years and have no children.

Let alone a son, he couldn't even give birth to a girl.

Forget it if you don’t have children.

But the elderly person he worked so hard to cultivate actually lost a leg.

He is worried about his future after retirement.

In case of a serious illness or minor disaster, there is no one around to take care of you.

What should he do next?

Will he end up just following the footsteps of the deaf old lady?

The final destination is the orphanage.

Yi Zhonghai's character of disobeying fate made him unable to accept this result.

But what can you do if you don’t accept it?

He simply couldn't choose a second person to support the elderly.

It would have been fine if Jia Dongxu had given birth to a baby boy, but he had lost his baby girl.

I don't know if that will have any impact.

After all, women are animals that love beauty, so they probably wouldn’t be willing to see Jia Dongxu’s broken leg.

As the old saying goes, whoever mentions it will come.

Just as Yi Zhonghai was thinking about it, Jia Dongxu came over to him on a crutch.

"Master..."

Jia Dongxu smiled flatteringly at Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai frowned, he didn't want to see him at all.

"Don't call me that. The relationship between us is no longer master and disciple."

"Master, what you are saying is that you are my master for a moment and you will be my master for the rest of your life! If you don't recognize me, can I just recognize you?"

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush."

Yi Zhonghai said coldly and authentically.

"Master, it's you who has good eyesight! My mother went to the factory again today to ask for compensation, but Director Hao refused to pay the compensation. I think they did it on purpose. You also know that if our family is in this situation, we will not be compensated. If the money is not available, our family will not be able to survive. You have many connections, so why don't you help us?"

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Jia Dongxu coldly.

Did he do it on purpose?

He clearly knew that he and Director Hao also had issues with each other.

Jia Dongxu actually thought of asking him, Yi Zhonghai, to ask Director Hao?

Return the call of Master, Master.

Would any true disciple cheat on his master like this?

"What kind of connections do I have? I don't have any connections with He Yuzhu in the factory. He Yuzhu has been friends with Director Lou for many years. Why don't you go find him!"

"How did I find him..."

Jia Dongxu smiled bitterly and said: "They don't even pay attention to us. It's useless for us to look for them!"

"It may not be helpful to come to me. I had nothing to do with your family eight hundred years ago. Don't come to me for help like this in the future!"

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai turned around and left.

Jia Dongxu struggled to hold him with one hand.

Yi Zhonghai looked back and saw that Jia Dongxu's hands were showing veins when he was leaning on a crutch.

He was also a little helpless.

"I really can't help you."

"What if I could have a son?"

Jia Dongxu asked tentatively.

"you?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at him suspiciously.

"what."

Jia Dongxu explained: "Don't worry, my legs and feet are not good, but my other functions are not affected! Although the birth is a daughter this time, I guarantee that it will be a son next time. I have a son, and I will adopt it to you directly. You see How about it?"

To be honest, Yi Zhonghai was a little excited.

But he's not stupid either.

He knew that the matter of having children was not something that Jia Dongxu could decide alone.

He said this, what if he regrets it when he actually has a son?

"Have you discussed it with Qin Huairu?"

"The whole family agrees!"

Jia Dongxu chuckled and said: "Why do we need to be alone when our two families can live together now? Do you think so? I don't ask you for anything, I just ask you to help me and get this compensation. You You have done us this favor, and when the compensation is paid, don’t we have to honor you?”

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu and thought for a while.

He seemed a little moved.

"Master, please help us. I'm begging you!"

Jia Dongxu said, dragging his remaining leg to kneel down to Yi Zhonghai.
