Siheyuan, my new life

The courtyard of No. 95 was in chaos at this time. As the three uncles in charge had not returned from work, most of the women in the families gathered in the front yard. When Director Wang and the two police officers left, the auntie from the courtyard of No. 97 next door also followed them out of the Red Star Hospital. The only difference was that Director Wang and the others rode bicycles, while the auntie could only walk.

In order to tell her old sisters what happened in the Red Star Hospital as soon as possible, the aunt tried her best. She jogged all the way back to Nanluoguxiang in half the time, which usually took her nearly 20 minutes to walk. She didn't even go home, but immediately shared Jia Zhang's heroic deeds at the Red Star Hospital with the old sisters who were sitting and chatting at the entrance of the alley, panting.

After listening to the auntie's story, the aunties and grandmas present smiled at each other tacitly, then picked up the benches and stools under their butts and left in a hurry.

The old lady also walked towards the No. 97 tenement with a smile on her face. She knew what those old sisters were doing in a hurry. They were going back to their own tenements immediately to share this explosive news with their neighbors. Of course, they would definitely add some of their own imaginations in the process of telling the story. Many incredible gossips were spread in this way.

Although the aunt had already publicized Jia Zhang's great achievements to her old sisters, she had to go back to the slum where she lived and report it again. How could she leave out such explosive news for her good neighbors?

So before the three members of the Jia family even got home, the news of Jia Zhang's heroic act at the Red Star Hospital this afternoon had quickly spread in the neighborhood as the aunties told their stories.

After hearing about what happened to Jia Zhang, the aunties and ladies in Courtyard No. 95 gathered together spontaneously. While continuing to discuss the gossip they had heard, they tacitly wanted to see Jia Zhang's miserable appearance as soon as possible.

As the matter fermented during this period, the story of Jia Zhang being bitten on the thigh by a dog became more and more bizarre. Some people heard that Jia Zhang was bitten on the thigh by the stray dog ​​because she was fighting with the dog for food. Some people even swore that Jia Zhang was beaten by a group of stray dogs. Although everyone knew that this was done deliberately to disgust Jia Zhang, no one said it out loud. They all talked about it with great interest.

Anyway, the residents in Courtyard No. 95 have suffered from Jia Zhang for a long time. In the past, the manager, Mr. Yi Zhonghai, was biased in everything, and Jia Zhang had offended almost all the residents in the courtyard. So now when they heard that Jia Zhang was bitten on the thigh by a dog, no one felt sympathy, and most of them were gloating.

Therefore, when the three members of the Jia family walked into the courtyard of No. 95, they were immediately surrounded by these "enthusiastic" neighbors. Some of them had already begun to loudly ask about Jia Zhang. Although they said that they were concerned about Jia Zhang's injury, the undisguised expression of gloating on her face had already betrayed her heart.

When had Jia Zhang ever suffered such a loss in the No. 95 courtyard? She was about to open her mouth to fight back, but Jia Dongxu, who had been paying attention to his mother's movements, immediately stopped her, forcing a stiff smile on his face: "Thank you Aunt Qian for your concern. My mother has already received the rabies vaccine and needs to go home and rest in bed. We will go back first." After saying that, he dragged Jia Zhang into the middle courtyard in a hurry.

As Jia Zhang walked away, she muttered unwillingly, "Dongxu, when has Mom ever suffered such a loss? That old bitch named Qian was so bold as to provoke me. I must block her door and scold her to death."

Jia Dongxu kept holding his mother until they returned home before letting go. Qin Huairu didn't even have time to rest and hurried to Yi Zhonghai's house to bring the two children back.

Jia Dongxu poured three bowls of boiled water on the dining table and advised his mother, who was still angry, "Mom, this is not the time when Yi Zhonghai was the manager. Believe it or not, if you fight with Aunt Qian today, those old ladies will definitely take sides, and some may even secretly do something bad."

Jia Zhang was not a fool either. It was just that she had become so rampant and unscrupulous due to Yi Zhonghai's deliberate connivance over the years. After hearing her son's words and thinking carefully about the eager expressions of the old ladies beside her, she was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. She couldn't help but recall the scene last year when she was beaten up by the old ladies in the courtyard for stealing. Obviously, those damn old ladies had no good intentions today. As long as she fought with that slut named Qian, they would definitely take the opportunity to attack her, and they might even rush up and beat her up again.

Jia Zhang gritted her teeth and picked up the bowl to drink it all up. She had been in the hospital for so long this afternoon that her mouth was already dry. Only after drinking a bowl of water did she feel a little better. She said bitterly: "Dongxu, I know you are smart. Tell me how to get rid of this anger in my heart. I really don't want to suffer this kind of humiliation."

Qin Huairu walked into the house holding her daughter Xiaodang in her arms and her son Banggeng by the hand.

Jia Dongxu reached out and took his daughter from his wife's arms, pointed to the water bowl on the table and said, "Huai Ru, drink some water before cooking. By the way, there is no need to cook tonight. Make a few more steamed breads so that our family can eat meat to improve our lives."

When he heard that there was meat to eat, Banggeng's eyes immediately widened and he stared at the oil-paper bag on the table that exuded the aroma of braised meat, and he shouted: "I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat now."

Jia Dongxu knocked on the dining table lightly and rebuked in a low voice: "Banggeng, your mother hasn't cooked yet, so eat meat later."

Jia Zhang hugged her eldest grandson and reached out to grab the oil-paper bag, muttering in a low voice: "My great grandson wants to eat meat now, let him eat it."

Jia Dongxu stretched out his hand to hold the oil paper bag, and said gloomily: "Mom, Bangeng is getting bigger and bigger, it's time to teach him the rules, don't spoil him blindly." After that, he glared at his son and said: "Go, follow your mother to the kitchen to help, I have something to say to grandma."

After Qin Huairu brought the child into the kitchen, Jia Dongxu lit a cigarette and said with a wry smile: "Mom, it's not the same as before. In the past, Yi Zhonghai was partial to you when you got into trouble. Now Yi Zhonghai is in a difficult situation. From their attitude today, we can tell that these two people have been stripped of their hypocritical masks by He Daqing and are no longer pretending. It will probably be difficult to take advantage of Yi Zhonghai in the future, so I want to advise you to be more careful about what you say and do in the future, and don't get into trouble again. Our family is in the most difficult time now. Without Yi Zhonghai's help, I can only work hard to learn benchwork skills and strive to pass the assessment by the end of the year. After what happened in the past few days, I understand that the mountain you rely on will fall, the people you rely on will run away, and you have to rely on yourself."
