Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

"Hey, everyone, come and take a look. Li Jianjun's wife is bullying an old woman like me. They still beat me even though I'm so old. Lao Jia, Dong Xu, come up and take me away. I can't live anymore."

Yi Zhonghai pointed at Han Chunyan.

"Han Chunyan, no matter what mistakes Jia Zhang made, it is wrong for you to hit her. We will report you to the police and have you arrested."

Han Chunyan said indifferently.

"It's up to you, but today I have to make it clear. I believe everyone has heard the gossip about Qin Huairu and our Jianjun these days. I just found out today that these gossips were spread by Jia Zhang outside. Beating her is the least of her punishment."

Jia Zhang's eyes were evasive and her voice became softer.

"I didn't, you're talking nonsense. Qin Huairu is my daughter-in-law, how could I possibly gossip about her."

Han Chunyan knew that Jia Zhang would never admit it.

"Don't think I can do nothing to you just because you don't admit it. I can't find ten people to testify against you. You can't deny it."

As soon as Yi Zhonghai saw Jia Zhang's expression, he knew that she must have done it, but now he had to protect Jia Zhang. If he gave up now, his prestige would be completely gone and he would never be able to recover.

"It was Jia Zhang who was wrong about Chunyan'er. You've beaten her and scolded her, so why don't you just let it go?"

Yi Zhonghai wanted to report to the police, but nothing happened. He was just slapped a few times. Unlike Xu Damao, he was seriously injured.

"Impossible, I'm going to ask Director Wang to send her back to the countryside. She's been lazy and gluttonous all day. Qin Huairu used to serve you so well, and even after the family split up, she still gave you money every month. Why are you treating her so badly? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

Qin Huairu was also helping to serve dishes at the factory today, so she didn't come back either.

People in the compound pointed fingers at Jia Zhangshi. Jia Zhangshi was really afraid of being sent back to the countryside, so she pulled Yi Zhonghai along.

"Uncle, you have to help me. I can't go to the countryside. I will starve to death."

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and decided that he really couldn't let Jia Zhang go to the countryside. After dealing with Li Jianjun, he would still need Jia Zhang to control Qin Huairu.

"Chun Yan'er, don't bother Director Wang about this matter. We can solve it in our hospital. If nothing else, you have to think about the reputation of our hospital. If this gets tarnished, our hospital won't be able to hold its head up high."

Yi Zhonghai decided to use everyone's interests to force Han Chunyan. He didn't believe that Han Chunyan dared to be an enemy of everyone.

"What a shitty reputation the compound has. With someone like this around, the reputation of the compound will never be good. I think it's best to send her back to the countryside. This way, the reputation of the compound can be preserved."

Han Chunyan's words were supported by everyone.

"Han Chunyan is right. Jia Zhang quarrels in the courtyard every day, and now she is spreading rumors outside. Our courtyard is ruined by her. It would be best to drive her away."

"That's right. She used to be a petty thief. Bang Geng was led astray by her. She makes the yard a mess every day. It's a nuisance to keep such a person around."

Sha Zhu watched without saying anything. He also wanted to get rid of Jia Zhang so that Bang Geng could take his surname.

Yi Zhonghai said emotionally.

"Everyone, if we drive Jia Zhang to the countryside, how will she live? Isn't this going to kill her? Where is our compassion? Where is our virtue?"

Just as everyone was thinking, a voice came.

"Compassion means compassion for those who deserve it, and respect for the elderly means respect for those who deserve respect. As for Jia Zhang, does she deserve sympathy and respect?"

Li Jianjun came back and saw Yan Jiefang waiting for him at the door. He told him what had happened.

When Liu Haizhong saw Yan Jiefang next to Li Jianjun, he immediately understood. Yan Bugui is smart. Why didn’t I think of it?

Li Jianjun's arrival put a lot of pressure on Yi Zhonghai, and just as he was about to arouse sympathy, it was extinguished by Li Jianjun.

"Jianjun, I'll ask Jia Zhang to apologize to you and never gossip about you again. Please let her go this time and give her one last chance."

Li Jianjun came to Han Chunyan.

"Don't be angry, let me do it."

Then he looked at Yi Zhonghai.

"Yi Zhonghai, you have been biased towards Jia Zhang for a long time. Don't say those high-sounding words. Is this just ordinary gossip about Jia Zhang? If this matter gets to the ears of the leaders, Qin Huairu and I will be skinned alive if we don't die. You just let it go with one sentence. What are you thinking?"

It seems that Yi Zhonghai has no choice but to bleed.

"Then Jianjun, tell me a solution. How do you want to solve this problem?"

Li Jianjun thought about it.

"I have no shortage of money or things, but I still want compensation. It's not much, just one hundred yuan, to teach Jia Zhang a lesson."

Jia Zhang was afraid to pay, so she spoke immediately.

"I have no money. If you force me, I will die in the yard. Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go."

Li Jianjun smiled.

"Then go and die. Do you think I'm afraid?"

Jia Zhang was shocked. This Li Jianjun was abnormal. Most people would be scared to death after hearing her say that.

Yi Zhonghai no longer expected Jia Zhang to take money, so he gritted his teeth.

"Pay the compensation, and the matter will be over. No one should mention it anymore."

Jia Zhang said immediately.

"Yi Zhonghai, this is what you promised. I didn't agree. You pay for it."

Yi Zhonghai did not bother with Jia Zhangshi. Now was not the right time.

"Mine is solved, what about Qin Huairu's?"

Yi Zhonghai forgot about Qin Huairu. From the very beginning, Yi Zhonghai never cared about Qin Huairu and instinctively thought that Qin Huairu would swallow her anger.

"We will apologize to Qin Huairu, you don't have to worry about it."

Li Jianjun shook his head.

"That won't work. Qin Huairu said yesterday that I am entrusted with the full authority to handle this matter."

Yi Zhonghai was now trembling with anger.

"Then what should I do?"

"It's very simple. Give the Jia family's house to Qin Huairu."

Jia Zhang refused.

"Impossible. This is my Jia family's house. No one can take it away. This is for Bang Geng."

Li Jianjun didn't care.

"It's up to you. If I don't give it to you, prepare to go to the countryside to celebrate the New Year, and don't expect to come back."

Jia Zhang was reluctant to give up her house, but was also afraid of being driven back to the countryside.

Yi Zhonghai was relieved after hearing the request, as long as he didn't have to pay.

"I can give you the house, but Jia Zhangshi must live there until the day she dies."

Jia Zhang wanted to say something, but Yi Zhonghai glared at her and she dared not speak.

Li Jianjun thought about it.

"Okay, tomorrow, ask Director Wang to transfer it to Qin Huairu's name, and this matter will be over."

Yi Zhonghai went home and brought a hundred yuan to Li Jianjun, but Li Jianjun did not take it.

"Uncle, please keep the money. Use it to buy some food for the needy families in the hospital during the New Year. This will be considered my contribution to the hospital."

Yan Bugui took the money with a smile.

"The army is still very ambitious. Unlike some people, they just shout slogans but don't take any real action."

After saying that, he glanced at Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu.

Those poor families were happy, and with Li Jianjun's help they could have a good New Year.

Li Jianjun just wants to establish his own image. If this matter gets out tomorrow, the rumors will be self-defeating and his reputation will be fine.

"Now that it's resolved, let's go home and have dinner."

Soon the excitement died down and everyone left. Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu came to the Jia family.

"Yi Zhonghai, how could you agree to give the house to that bitch Qin Huairu? What will Bang Geng do in the future?"

Shazhu was so happy that he could bring Banggeng to live in his own home. They would be like father and son.

Yi Zhonghai said unhappily.

"Now you know you're in a hurry. Why didn't you think carefully before you went out and talked nonsense? Who is Li Jianjun? You dare to gossip about him. The street office, the police station, and the factory all have to give him face. How dare you?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhang who lowered her head and sighed.

"Don't worry, you can still live in this house. What if you give it to Qin Huairu? Banggeng is her son after all. Can she watch Banggeng have no place to live? Can she watch Banggeng get married without a house?"

Jia Zhang thought about it and it made sense. The house would eventually return to Banggeng's hands, and Xiaodang and Huaihua would get married. After thinking it through, Jia Zhang felt much better.

"Listen to my uncle, I will never provoke Li Jianjun again."

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. If you have anything else to say, you could have told us first. Now we are in such a passive position!"

After the conversation, Yi Zhonghai dragged his tired body back home.

"Old man, how can you help the Jia family pay a hundred dollars? Jia Zhang will definitely not pay it back."

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.

"If you don't want to return it, then don't return it. I'll need Jia Zhang in the future, so just consider this as an advance payment to her."

The old lady couldn't understand what kind of thing required a hundred yuan in reward, but she didn't ask, and even if she asked, Yi Zhonghai wouldn't tell her.
