Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

Li Guohua heard crying coming from the Intermediate Court after he returned home in the evening. After asking, he found out that something had happened to Jia Dongxu.

The Jia family had a very difficult time last year, but Jia Dongxu managed to get through it.

The overall environment is getting better this year, the quantity has also recovered a little, and with Qin Huairu going back to work on the farm, the Jia family doesn't even need much help from Yi Zhonghai.

Li Guohua always thought that because of this little butterfly, nothing would happen to Jia Dongxu, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't escape.

However, he knew Jia Zhang's temper. She just could not be treated with a good face, so he did not think of going over to visit her.

I went to Fang's house first, saw a few children writing quietly, nodded with satisfaction, and went to the next door to check the bedrooms of a few boys.

There are five rooms in the outer courtyard. In addition to the one owned by the Fang family, Li Guohua rented two rooms. One of the rooms on the back was severely damaged and was vacant. There was another room on the right side of the courtyard gate, which had been used as a storage room for the courtyard.

At the beginning of this year, Li Guohua happened to be doing coordination work in the city, and incidentally he determined the property rights of the two houses.

As the children were getting older, it was not convenient for them to live together, so he asked someone to renovate and redecorate the two empty rooms, one for the boys and one for the girls.

Girls are okay because they like to be clean, but some boys are not like that and need to be urged every day.

When she got home, Zhao Yunxia was rocking her child in her arms.

The child was born a month ago. He is a big fat boy. Li Guohua named him Li Zhengan. The little guy has a pair of big eyes that are twinkling and very cute.

"Well, I'm back. Was Zhengan well behaved today? Did he cry or make a fuss?" Li Guohua put down his briefcase and started teasing his son.

"Hehe, this kid is really like me. He wants to eat everything he sees!"

He tried to tease his son with his fingers, but Zhao Yunxia slapped him away.

"Guohua, think more about me and the children when you do things in the future. Don't be so stubborn like last time!" Zhao Yunxia glared at Li Guohua.

She was talking about Li Guohua going into the mountains to hunt and being gone for several days, which was no less dangerous than being in the workshop.

Today, she was shocked when she saw Qin Huairu's expression of despair.

"Don't worry, daughter-in-law, I won't go there anymore. I will just stay at home with you and our son!" Li Guohua teased the child and said with a smile.

During the Chinese New Year, there was really no other way but to make such a big fuss.

From now on, you will only have a few years of stable life, so it is better to spend more time with your family. Who knows when the little brat will grow up.

"Well, as long as our family is safe and sound, that's better than anything else!"

Zhao Yunxia nodded with satisfaction. Now that she had a child, she was no longer in a hurry to go to work in the factory. She just wanted to raise the little one.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

Li Guohua opened the door and found it was Yan Bugui from the front yard.

"Uncle, what's up?"

"Guohua, you should go to the Jia family. They are waiting for you." Yan Bugui seemed reluctant to come.

"Uncle, what's going on?"

Wait for me, wait for me to kowtow to Jia Dongxu? These people are out of their minds.

"Hey, it's all Jia Dongxu's business. The factory hasn't given any explanation. You are the most promising person in our hospital, and we all want you to help make a decision!"

Yan Bugui actually didn't want to come because Jia Zhang was such a bad person and treated all the neighbors badly.

I still don’t know what Li Guohua is thinking. What if Li Guohua doesn’t agree? Wouldn’t I offend him?

"Okay, let's go and take a look together!" Li Guohua said after thinking for a while.

After all, I still live in this courtyard and have to get along with my neighbors. I can't live alone. I should take care of my reputation. There is no need for me to dwell on the little things in the past. I will just give Jia Dongxu face. The dead are the greatest.

Of course, if they have any excessive demands, that’s another matter.

When we arrived at the Jia family, a simple mourning hall had already been set up.

In fact, there were just two candles lit on the table, with a black-and-white photo of Jia Dongxu placed in the middle, and a pair of chopsticks and a bowl of brown rice in front of the photo.

In addition to Jia Zhang, there were several uncles in the courtyard and the people in charge of each family in the room. As for Qin Huairu, she was slumped on the ground beside her, her face ashen, and several aunts couldn't pull her up.

"Wow, Dongxu, now that you're gone, how am I going to live?" Jia Zhang didn't know if it was because she saw Li Guohua coming, so she started howling again.

Li Guohua frowned immediately. I want to leave now, but it’s too late.

"Sister-in-law, don't cry. Now that Guohua is here, let's talk it over!" Yi Zhonghai seemed to have noticed Li Guohua's unhappiness and hurriedly pulled Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Zhang stopped wailing immediately and cried, "Guohua, Auntie has been so unfair to you in the past. You must help your brother Dongxu get justice!"

"Uncle, you are an eighth-level worker in the steel rolling mill. You should be very familiar with the leaders and workshop directors. Haven't you heard any news from here?" Li Guohua asked curiously.

Yi Zhonghai usually relies on his familiarity with the street leaders, is close to the leaders in the factory, and is well-connected in the courtyard. But now he is being pulled out to take the blame. He is really a piece of shit.

"Yes, Yi Zhonghai, Dongxu is your apprentice, how can you be so heartless? Why didn't you help Dongxu when he was in trouble? My poor son!" Jia Zhang started howling again.

Then the two sides started to pull each other again, and only stopped after everyone persuaded them.

"...Guohua, I have also asked various leaders, and they all said that we have to wait until we have a meeting to study the matter before we can make a decision!" Yi Zhonghai's face was full of bitterness.

You usually pretend to be too powerful, but it’s useless at the critical moment. The Human Resources and Social Security Department has collapsed.

After Yi Zhonghai's explanation, Li Guohua also understood where the problem lay.

Generally speaking, if a worker gets into an accident, his family can get one to one and a half years of his salary as a pension. If there are underage children in the family, they will also receive child support.

The question now is whether Jia Dongxu’s accident was due to his own improper operation or a machine failure; if the definition is different, the amount of pension he will receive will also be different.

Jia Dongxu's current salary is 42 yuan per month, which is 5 yuan per year and 510 yuan per year and a half, a difference of more than 765 yuan.

"Have you ever thought about going to the factory to take over the job?" Li Guohua asked curiously.

"This..." Jia Zhang was completely confused. She really didn't think about it in this way.

There were only orphans and a widow left at home, and her first reaction was to ask for more money for self-defense and to raise her grandson. She didn't really think much about anything else.

"In my opinion, the amount of the pension is not that important! Qin Huairu and her children do not have city hukou. If Qin Huairu can take over the job at the factory, the children will also have city hukou.

Maybe the street staff will see that your family is in difficulty and register your household registration, then your family’s pressure will be much less and your life will be more stable.”

Li Guohua had done his best and told them the most advantageous plan for them.

"No! No! I don't agree with Qin Huairu taking over my position. If she remarries, what will happen to an old lonely woman like me? Then my position in the Jia family will become someone else's?" Jia Zhang's first reaction was to disagree.

Although what she said was unpleasant, her words were true and everyone agreed that this was a problem.

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Dongxu is gone and I will never remarry in my life!" Qin Huairu came back to life after hearing this and retorted.

"..."

Jia Zhang originally wanted to scold her daughter-in-law, but when she thought about the seamless cooperation they had gotten along with over the past year, she couldn't bring herself to curse.

"Then you should think it over carefully first and tell me when you've made up your mind. Even if I go there, they may not give me face!"

Li Guohua didn't want to get involved in their family affairs, nor did he want to be a pushover. He did it purely out of humanitarian spirit.
