Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Qin Huairu's life is not easy now. She has to raise three children. One eats his father's penis stems out of money, one sucks his wife's locust flowers dry, and there is a little boy in the middle who is so annoying.

After Banggeng got out of school during the day, Qin Huairu entrusted Huaihua to an aunt, and Xiaodang was left unattended, running around in the courtyard.

Xiaodang eats from everywhere, which is equivalent to eating at hundreds of houses.

However, at this time, if someone's family has extra food for you, Qin Huairu would give you a bite to eat because she could repay favors and had a good relationship with her neighbors.

But it’s no longer possible now. Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru had a falling out, so Qin Jingru asked Sha Zhu not to help Qin Huairu.

Look, this is Qin Jingru's nature. In the original novel, she did the same thing when she married Xu Damao.

Qin Huairu's life suddenly fell into trouble. There was no blood bank. What should she do?

If Yi Zhonghai hadn't helped and persuaded Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu would have been finished long ago.

In short, after Zeng Wangcai left, the layout of the Siheyuan underwent subtle changes. Sha Zhu fell into an "emotional dispute", and his control over the Siheyuan began to decline before it reached its peak.

Yi Zhonghai took advantage of the passage of time and began to return to the neighbors' attention again. He also took advantage of the opportunity that Sha Zhu had no time to manage the affairs in the yard and used his previous experience to help his neighbors solve their problems.

An old man...seems to be back again.

Moreover, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong changed their strategy and stopped excluding the Zeng family in the past. With the help of Han Qiaosheng's special existence, they began to slowly and actively contact the Zeng family, especially in some occasions when there were neighbors present.

This gave the neighbors the false impression that Yi Zhonghai was reconciling with the Zeng family.

This is the situation. It has evolved into this in just over two months from the Chinese New Year to now.

"Uncle Qian, we haven't eaten yet!" Qin Huairu came in and glanced at the dishes on the table. She couldn't help but envy him. "You eat, I have something to do."

"It's okay, I'm done eating, just tell me what you want to say!" There was just a mouthful of wine left in Zeng Youqian's glass, and he stopped after drinking it in one gulp, pretending to have finished eating.

To be honest, Zeng Youqian had never heard his son's evaluation of Qin Huairu, and he himself did not have much opinion about Qin Huairu. On the contrary, because Qin Huairu helped his son benefit in the Jia Dongxu incident, he had a little good impression of her.

This is where Qin Huairu's success lies. Although her children are ordinary people, there are only two people in the whole hospital who hate her. One is Zhang Xiuzhi, and the other is Qin Jingru who has just changed.

"It's like this, isn't your factory about to open?"

"Don't worry!" Zeng Youqian interrupted quickly, "Let me make it clear, this is not my factory, it's the state-owned factory. This is very important."

Zeng Youqian was very cautious and didn't give anyone any chance to talk about him.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Qin Huairu quickly changed her words, even though she and most people thought so in their hearts, "I just want you, as a big factory director, to let Sha Zhu go to the factory, just like Brother Wangcai said at the beginning, let Sha Zhu be in charge of the canteen. You said we are all neighbors, and you know Sha Zhu's skills and character...

"Also, I can sew. I have a sewing machine at home. Do you think I can go to work in the factory?"

That’s right, Qin Huairu regretted it and couldn’t bear it anymore.

At that time, she said that the steel rolling mill was a big factory and better than the garment factory. This was true, but her original intention was not to let Sha Zhu not go. Instead, she wanted Sha Zhu to talk to Zeng Wangcai about the position issue. Although it was equal pay for equal work, the subsidy could be more particular.

But unexpectedly, Zeng Wangcai stopped the loss in time and turned around and left.

Not only that, he also offended Qin Jingru, causing the blood bank to dry up.

When she couldn't hold on any longer, Qin Huairu thought about breaking up Qin Jingru and Sha Zhu, but because of Xu Damao's existence, she backed off and finally chose to come to Zeng Youqian to plead for mercy in order to save the situation.

"Let Sha Zhu go to the factory to take charge of the factory?" Zeng Youqian was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Qin Huairu to intercede. Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru had a falling out over this matter. The whole hospital knew about it. "Why didn't you do it earlier? The person has already been hired!"

"Ah? When did this happen? How come I don't know about it..."

"You say that as if you were the factory manager."

Qin Huairu was embarrassed. It was over. Was Sha Zhu losing his official position?

She insisted, "Uncle Qian, you can't do this. At that time, Wangcai went to find Shazhu..."

"Indeed, but didn't you refuse at that time?" Zeng Youqian bluntly pointed out the conversation that day. "Oh, you said that the steel mill is a big factory and the garment factory is a small factory. You are right. Our factory now has only more than 200 employees, while the steel mill has tens of thousands. There is no comparison."

"Then..." Qin Huairu knew that after Zeng Youqian said that, Sha Zhu could not be saved, so she immediately changed her mind, "The worker's matter can be settled, look at me, I make all the clothes for our children, you can get me in to work, right? To tell you the truth, I really can't work in the steel mill anymore, can you give me a hand?"

Qin Huairu wanted to work in the factory because she knew the difference between working in a steel rolling mill and working in a garment factory. Moreover, some families in the Siheyuan had relatives who worked in the garment factory, such as Yu Li, the daughter-in-law of the Yan family opposite.

She doesn't want to deal with machines every day, it's too tiring.

"This is troublesome!" Zeng Youqian frowned. "The positions for tailors are full. What we are short of now are workers for laundry, dyeing, and hair removal. These jobs are not easy either. They are not easier than the work in the steel mill."

"Ah? There are no more tailors? No... I heard Yu Li say yesterday that there are still some."

"It was full yesterday afternoon."

"..."

Qin Huairu thought Zeng Youqian was making things difficult for her, but in fact Zeng Youqian was telling the truth.

With the textile factory there and the garment factory receiving attention from higher-ups, it was normal for the tailors to be fully staffed.

"Then I... let me think about it. Can you give me two days?" Qin Huairu hesitated again and began to weigh the pros and cons in her heart.

"Okay, you can come anytime if you think it's time!" Zeng Youqian made the decision with a big wave of his hand. "You can do these two jobs anytime. Don't worry about the organizational relationship. Someone will take care of it. The salary will be a little higher than what you get at the steel mill."

Not to mention washing and dyeing, hair removal is a new type of job. Because garment factories hire a lot of people, there are no apprentices, so the salary is definitely higher than Qin Huairu's.

After leaving Zeng's house, Qin Huairu felt a little upset, regretting that she had started too late, resulting in the loss of tailoring jobs.

However, she is a little inclined to do dry cleaning, dyeing or hair removal, and then look for an opportunity to work as a tailor. More importantly, the salary will be high.

She decided to inquire about the salary first.

After returning to the Central Courtyard, Qin Huairu went to find Qin Jingru, which was something she had done frequently recently. She wanted to reconcile with Qin Jingru. In fact, any quarrel between the two was always unilaterally caused by Qin Jingru.

But unexpectedly, Qin Huairu was not at home. Not only was Qin Jingru not at home, she was also avoiding her and was seen coming out of Zeng's house.

Qin Jingru's idea today was the same as Qin Huairu's. She went to Zeng Youqian to plead for mercy, but as soon as she arrived at the front yard, she heard Qin Huairu coming out, so Qin Jingru hid and waited until Qin Huairu left before knocking on the door.
