Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

Yi Zhonghai began to sweat coldly on his forehead as he listened to Sha Zhu's words. He never expected that Sha Zhu would become wise after being injured.

"Zhu Zi, you know your uncle's situation. I wanted Dong Xu to take care of him in his old age, but I didn't expect him to have an accident. I'm not afraid that you will worry too much. Your aunt and I want you to take care of us in our old age. Don't worry, after we both die, the house and savings will be yours."

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu cautiously, fearing that he would disagree.

Sha Zhu had already thought about it. It would not be a loss to provide for their retirement. The uncle had a lot of salary and savings, and the aunt could also help him a little. As for why he didn't let He Yushui find a wife to marry into the family, he didn't dare to do so. He was afraid of being kicked out of the house because he had no son.

"Uncle, I won't beat around the bush with you. It's no problem for me to provide for you and Auntie in their old age. After all, you saved Yu Shui and me. If it weren't for your steamed bread, we would have starved to death. But, don't blame me if you interfere in the affairs between Bang Geng and me."

Yi Zhonghai felt relieved when he heard that Sha Zhu was willing to take care of him in his old age.

"Don't worry, not only will I not interfere, I will also help you look after Bang Geng. Right now, Bang Geng needs company. When you have time, accompany him often, help him out, make him dependent on you, and give him some delicious food. Children are easy to coax. Just don't let him come into contact with Qin Huairu."

Sha Zhu thought about it and nodded.

"You're right. I'll have to think about it."

Yi Zhonghai felt at ease and didn't want to stay any longer.

"Then think about it carefully. I'm going to go back. It's getting late. You should go to bed early."

After returning home, Yi Zhonghai lay on the bed and told his aunt about his conversation with Sha Zhu.

The aunt was a little worried.

"This guy is still young, so he's suitable, but Jia Zhang is not someone you can get along with easily. You know her well, and you never know if she'll cause you any big trouble one day."

Yi Zhonghai also had a headache about Jia Zhangshi. In the past, he had to use Jia Zhangshi in order to tie Qin Huairu down. Now that Qin Huairu had run away, Jia Zhangshi was useless, but he couldn't get rid of her now.

"Let's take it one step at a time. If she causes any trouble, we can move the old lady out. She will be able to calm her down."

The aunt thought about it and agreed that Jia Zhang was most afraid of the old lady.

"Zhong Hai, let's live a good life from now on and stop competing with Li Jianjun. We have suffered losses so many times. Forget it."

Yi Zhonghai gets angry when Li Jianjun is mentioned, and he doesn't give a direct answer.

"We'll talk about it later. Go to sleep."

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai turned his head to one side, but the aunt didn't see the way Yi Zhonghai was gritting his teeth.

The days that followed were much more uneventful.

After listening to what Jia Zhang said, Banggeng didn't even call Qin Huairu "Mom" when he saw her, and his eyes were full of hatred. Qin Huairu was sad for a long time because of this, but finally she let it go. At least she still had Xiaodang and Huaihua.

Jia Zhang didn't cause any big trouble, just some small quarrels. She was free anyway and had Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai to support her, so she didn't care about anyone except Li Jianjun.

Shazhu is very nice to Banggeng, and Banggeng goes to Shazhu's house every day, and they have a good relationship.

Yi Zhonghai had a headache. Jia and Zhang quarreled every other day, and he could not be too obviously partial, so he could only try to smooth things over. His reputation dropped drastically, and the deaf old lady even talked to him about it, but after learning about Sha Zhu's plan, she could only sigh helplessly.

Banggeng has become a bully in the courtyard. He would snatch any kid's things he liked. He was fatter than the others, so most kids couldn't beat him. If he won, others would come to make trouble, and Yi Zhonghai would say that they were just kids playing around. If he lost, Shazhu and Jia Zhang would go to find people to argue. Most people didn't want to cause trouble, so they would just apologize and let it go. Now the kids in the courtyard would avoid Banggeng when they saw him and wouldn't play with him.

It was Saturday and Li Jianjun came back a little late after delivering supplies. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard a quarrel in the front yard.

There was no entertainment those days, and Li Jianjun also liked to watch the fun, so he immediately parked his bicycle in front of Yan Bugui's house and walked towards the crowd.

As soon as he approached, he saw Jia Zhang sitting on the ground, Yi Zhonghai was trying to persuade her. Sha Zhu had red eyes and clenched his fists, but was stopped by Yan Bugui's family.

After asking around, we found out that Banggeng had stolen a piece of bacon from the Hong family in the front yard today. It was not a small piece, about half a pound. He said he was stealing, but in fact he was seen by Hong Xiaoliang, a child of the Hong family. Banggeng pushed him down and ran away with the bacon. Hong Xiaoliang was two years younger than Banggeng. He sat on the ground and started crying. It happened that Hong Xiaoliang's father Hong Jianguo came back, grabbed Banggeng and pressed him to the ground. He didn't beat him, but Banggeng cried, and his crying attracted a group of people, and then there was a commotion.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, don't think you can get away with just making a scene. If you don't give me an explanation, I will report this to the police."

Yi Zhonghai pulled Hong Jianguo.

"Jianguo, Banggeng is still a child. He just wants to eat something. Don't argue with him."

Hong Jianguo also has a bad temper.

"What's wrong with the child? My Xiaoliang is also a child. Why doesn't he go and rob others? If he starts robbing at such a young age, what will happen when he grows up? I think he will end up in jail sooner or later."

Sha Zhu couldn't stand other people saying bad things about Bang Geng, so he kept rushing towards Hong Jianguo.

"Hong Jianguo, are you still a man? You have the nerve to argue with a child. If you have the guts, why don't you practice with me, your grandpa?"

Hong Jianguo is not afraid of Sha Zhu. He is a blacksmith in his prime and has plenty of strength in his hands.

"Silly Zhu, you worthless bastard, you can't have children yourself but you always ask Bang Geng to help you. What, he recognizes you as his godfather?"

Sha Zhu was being pulled by three people and was helpless for a moment, but Jia Zhang suddenly got up and rushed to Hong Jianguo, and grabbed him on the face when Hong Jianguo was not paying attention.

"I let you bully Bangteng. I let you bully Bangteng."

Hong Jianguo's wife was also a fierce woman. When she saw her husband being arrested, she rushed forward, grabbed Jia Zhang's hair, and slapped her in the face with a big slap.

When Jia Zhang reacted, she immediately started fighting with Hong Jianguo's wife.

Hong Jianguo touched his face, which was covered in blood. He was so angry that he wanted to go up and beat Jia Zhang together, but was stopped by Yi Zhonghai.

Hong Jianguo got furious and hit Yi Zhonghai in the face with a big punch, knocking Yi Zhonghai unconscious.

"I'm telling you, Yi Zhonghai, others may be afraid of you, but I am not. You sided with the Jia family before, but that didn't offend me. Now that you have offended me, no one will have an easy time. I'm going to report to the police now."

When Jia Zhang heard that Hong Jianguo was going to report to the police, she was shocked. She sat on the ground and was about to cry when she suddenly saw Qin Huairu.

"Qin Huairu, you are a dead man. Your son has been bullied and is about to be arrested. What are you still doing standing there?"

Qin Huairu was in a dilemma. She really didn't want to stand up for Banggeng. She had already given up on Banggeng, but if she didn't stand up now, how would others look at her.

Just as she was about to go out, she was stopped by Li Jianjun, who shook his head at her.

Qin Huairu also retracted the foot that she had stepped out.

Hong Jianguo ignored what Jia Zhangshi shouted and wanted to report to the police, but Yi Zhonghai couldn't stop him alone.

"What are you still looking at? Hold him back, or we won't have a civilized courtyard again this year."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he realized that this was related to the reputation of the compound. Besides, he was the second uncle and would also be responsible, so he immediately grabbed Hong Jianguo.
