Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

"Brother-in-law, what's the good news? You look so happy." Zhang Yuan couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw Sha Zhu's smiling face.

"Hahaha, this is such great news! I'm going to be a father! Jingru is pregnant!" Sha Zhu smiled from ear to ear, unable to hide the joy in his heart.

It turned out that Qin Jingru suddenly vomited while having dinner at the deaf old lady's house last night. Sha Zhu was shocked and thought she had an upset stomach, but the deaf old lady didn't think so. She was experienced and saw at a glance that Qin Jingru might be pregnant, so she quickly asked Sha Zhu to take good care of Qin Jingru and asked him to take her to the hospital for a check-up early tomorrow morning. Sure enough, after Sha Zhu brought Qin Jingru back from the hospital, he immediately ran to He Yushui and Zhang Yuan excitedly, wanting to tell them the good news.

After hearing this, Zhang Yuan was also sincerely happy for Sha Zhu: "Congratulations, brother-in-law! That's great!" He said to Sha Zhu with a smile and also gave his sincere blessings.

"Thank you, but brother-in-law, you have to work harder. You got married earlier than me, but I ended up giving you the upper hand. Also, Yu Shui's stomach has not responded. What's going on?" Sha Zhu asked Zhang Yuan with concern.

Seeing Sha Zhu's half-caring, half-showing expression, Zhang Yuan wanted to pick up his shoe and hit him in the face. He didn't want to see him looking so smug.

"Hey, what's wrong with your hand?" At this time, Sha Zhu noticed that Zhang Yuan's right hand was wrapped in a bandage.

"It's okay. I've seen a doctor. He will be fine after resting for a while." Zhang Yuan said perfunctorily.

"Then you have to be careful. You need to rest for at least a month if you have broken bones. You can't touch water. I have some medicine at home. My master gave it to me when I was practicing sumo. It's quite effective. I'll bring it to you later. Ask Yu Shui to help you apply the medicine at night." Sha Zhu said kindly.

Zhang Yuan felt warm in his heart. He didn't expect that this silly Zhu actually cared about him so much. He nodded gratefully: "Thank you, brother-in-law."

"What are you thanking me for? We are all relatives, we should take care of each other! If you need anything in the future, just let me know. I will never refuse to help if I can." Sha Zhu said with a hearty smile.

Zhang Yuan also smiled. Although Sha Zhu might be annoying sometimes, he was still very reliable at critical moments.

Suddenly, Xu Damao's voice came from outside the door. When Sha Zhu heard it, a strange smile immediately appeared on his face, and then he hurried out.

"Hey, grandson! Stop right there! Don't run! Don't worry, I promise not to hit you. It's a good thing." Sha Zhu shouted to the outside while smiling.

At this time, Xu Damao was returning home in high spirits because he had stayed at the home of a familiar young widow for a night and had received great satisfaction both physically and mentally.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw Sha Zhu rushing out of He Yushui's house with an excited look on his face. This made Xu Damao's instinctive reaction that he had developed over the years erupt immediately. He was so scared that he dropped his bicycle, turned around and ran.

Although Sha Zhu said that he would not hit him, Xu Damao thought: Can I trust a fool? So, he ran without hesitation, his legs seemed to be equipped with small electric motors, and rushed out of the courtyard at an astonishing speed, leaving the dust behind, as if he was about to fly.

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the two of them like this, with a look of not knowing whether to laugh or cry on his face. He sighed inwardly, thinking that these two guys were really a pair of happy enemies!

Then, Zhang Yuan turned his gaze towards the Jia family. At this time, Qin Huairu was standing at the door, staring at Sha Zhu's departing back with a face full of resentment. However, when she felt Zhang Yuan's gaze, she quickly changed her expression, and the resentment in her eyes disappeared instantly. Instead, she was replaced by a gentle and charming look, as if she had become a different person. She nodded gently at Zhang Yuan, then turned around and closed the door.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye an hour had passed. Sha Zhu and Xu Damao returned to the yard arm in arm, looking like close brothers. If you don't look closely at the anger hidden deep in Xu Damao's eyes, you might mistakenly think that they have completely reconciled.

Sha Zhu proudly showed off his wife's beauty and kindness to Xu Damao. He proudly said: "My Qin Jingru is very beautiful and has a very kind heart." Then, he deliberately revealed an important news to Xu Damao: "I'll tell you a secret, my wife is pregnant!" This sentence was like a sharp knife, deeply hurting Xu Damao's already fragile heart.

Xu Damao felt as if he was being eaten by millions of ants. He thought about his current situation. If it weren't for Sha Zhu, he and Lou Xiao'e would have had a child long ago, and they wouldn't have become extinct. Lou Xiao'e also divorced him. His parents also tried every possible way for him, seeking medical treatment everywhere, but the results were always disappointing. The doctor told him that the possibility of him having a child was extremely low, which made him feel extremely desperate and helpless.

And now, Sha Zhu's boasting was like a sharp knife, which once again opened the scar in his heart and continued to sprinkle salt on it. This pain was unbearable for him, and he decided not to endure it any longer.

So Xu Damao suddenly broke free from Sha Zhu's hand, spat fiercely on the ground, picked up his bicycle, and left without looking back. His face was terribly gloomy, as if the whole world had lost its color. When he returned home, he sat on the bed silently, feeling heavy-hearted and unable to let go.

In the following week, Zhang Yuan began to chat with the residents in the courtyard, trying to understand their lives and needs. At the same time, Sha Zhu would go home early after get off work every day to prepare meals, which made other residents in the courtyard suffer, especially the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai family who lived opposite.

The aroma of the food cooked by Sha Zhu filled the whole yard, making many people salivate. However, for the Jia family, this smell became a torture. After several times, Bang Geng cried and asked for meat after smelling the aroma, but his unreasonable request was not met, and he was beaten severely by Qin Huairu.

After being beaten, Banggeng cried louder than before, which made Yi Zhonghai unbearable. As the moral master in the compound, Yi Zhonghai felt that he had the responsibility to mediate the conflict, so he took the initiative to persuade Qin Huairu. However, his good intentions put him in a difficult situation.

Qin Huairu took the opportunity to complain to Yi Zhonghai, saying that her family was in financial difficulty and hoped to get some help. Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to take out some corn flour from his home or give Qin Huairu one or two yuan. As time went by, Yi Zhonghai realized that he had become the "sucker" of the Jia family and was no longer willing to help them.

Without Yi Zhonghai, the victim, Qin Huairu's family's life became more difficult. Qin Huairu has lost her job now. Every morning after finishing her housework, she would rush to the street office or the steel mill, trying to get a job by gaining sympathy. However, her reputation had already been ruined.

Not only that, even the people in the street office avoided her and were unwilling to introduce her to a job. They were worried that once someone with dirty hands like Qin Huairu entered the unit, she would repeat her old tricks and rob the unit. At that time, the staff of the street office would probably also be held responsible for this.

But they really underestimated the extent of Qin Huairu's shamelessness. When Qin Huairu realized that she would not get any chance from the street office, she actually used a big move - she sat on the steps and cried. Everyone who came to do business or passed by would be attracted and stop to watch curiously. Qin Huairu deliberately did not speak, which aroused everyone's curiosity even more.

"Who is this? Why is he sitting here crying?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, you're crying so sadly, have you encountered some difficulties?" another person echoed.

When Qin Huairu heard these voices, she was secretly proud in her heart, but on the surface she pretended to be pitiful and sobbed from time to time, which made people sympathize with her even more.

As time went by, more and more people gathered around, forming a small circle. Everyone was curious and concerned about the crying woman, and asked what happened.

Qin Huairu raised her head, her face full of tears, and her beauty like a white lotus made people feel pity. She looked at the people around her, tears flashing in her eyes, and her lips trembled slightly as she said, "I... I came to the street office to ask for help to solve the problem, but they... they ignored my request at all! My children are still young and need to be taken care of, but I don't have a job, and life is really difficult."

Her words revealed endless grievance and helplessness, which moved the people present. Many people began to express sympathy and accused the street office of being indifferent and heartless.

However, at this moment, a witty security guard stepped forward and broke up the farce. He loudly explained to everyone: "Don't be fooled by her appearance! She is a liar who wants to use your sympathy to force the street office to make concessions! Our street office has given her many chances, but she always finds various excuses to shirk responsibility. She has also committed crimes and the unit refused to accept her. Now she is throwing dirty water on the street office and trying to threaten the street office in this way. She is really shameless!"

The old man's words woke everyone up from their dreams, and they all cast doubtful glances at Qin Huairu. The voices that originally supported her gradually disappeared, replaced by condemnation.

Qin Huairu felt very frustrated and helpless when she saw that everyone was leaning towards the other side and blaming her. She felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world. No one understood her situation and feelings. She was obviously the one in the most difficult situation. She had no income and had to raise three children. Shouldn't the street office and everyone help her and understand her difficulties? This feeling made her feel extremely painful and uncomfortable. She didn't know how to face such a situation.

Facing the condemnation of everyone, Qin Huairu felt aggrieved and helpless. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start. Everyone looked at her with reproachful eyes, as if she was a sinner. She felt that she could no longer bear such pressure, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Finally, Qin Huairu couldn't stand the gazes and pressure from everyone, so she covered her face, squeezed through the crowd, and ran towards the courtyard. She hoped to find a quiet place to lick her wounds alone and think of other ways to live her life. But what should she do now?

The originally peaceful No. 95 courtyard was once again in chaos. People were talking about this incident. But Qin Huairu was completely unaware of it. She only felt anger and dissatisfaction towards the street office.

As time went by, the news gradually spread, and the whole compound knew about it. Everyone began to blame Qin Huairu's behavior and turned their attention to the three managers.

At this time, the staff of the Street Office came to the compound and found three uncles in charge. They told the uncles seriously that Qin Huairu's noisy behavior at the door of the Street Office had caused adverse effects on society. Therefore, the three uncles were needed to hold a meeting at the Street Office.

The three uncles reluctantly followed the staff to the meeting room of the subdistrict office, where they were severely criticized by the director of the subdistrict office. The director scolded them unceremoniously: "How could you, the uncles in charge, let this happen?"

The three uncles bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, expressing their willingness to take responsibility and solve the problem. The director continued, "When you go back, you must inform Qin Huairu to attend a one-month study class and be responsible for cleaning the streets. I hope you can discipline her well to prevent similar situations from happening again."

The three uncles nodded repeatedly, saying that they would definitely follow the request. They knew that Qin Huairu had made a big fuss this time, and they had to solve the problem as soon as possible to save their reputation and impression in the eyes of the street office leaders.

After returning to the compound, the three uncles immediately found Qin Huairu and told her the decision of the street office. Qin Huairu's face turned very ugly after hearing it. She didn't realize that her behavior had caused an uproar. She just felt that the street office was heartless. Knowing that she was in such a difficult situation, they still asked her to participate in learning and sweep the streets. How could she live? So she asked Yi Zhonghai for help, hoping that Yi Zhonghai could help her and speak for her to avoid her punishment this time. She could promise that she would not commit the same mistake again in the future.

"You regret it now. Why didn't you consider the consequences at the beginning?" Yi Zhonghai said angrily. He had just been scolded like a grandson by the director, and now she wanted him to plead for her. What a wishful thinking.

"That's right. You're not only affecting the street office, but also ruining the reputation of our No. 95 courtyard house." Liu Haizhong said angrily. When he thought about how he had worked so hard and conscientiously to manage the courtyard, and it was finally getting better, but it was ruined by Qin Huairu, he would be angry.

Yan Bugui didn't say anything, but he felt sorry for the year-end bonus.

Qin Huairu knelt in front of the three men and kept begging for mercy, but unfortunately the three men were already in a difficult situation and had no time to care about her. They just left her with one sentence and told her to fend for herself.
