Siheyuan, my new life

Jia Dongxu was at home reading the machinist's notes he had just borrowed from a friend when he suddenly heard someone calling his name in the front yard. He immediately stood up and walked out quickly.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he ran into Yi Zhonghai who was hurried out of the house. Jia Dongxu continued to walk towards the front yard and said with a smile: "Master, where are you going?"

Yi Zhonghai was a little anxious. Qin Huairu had just followed his instructions and blocked the front yard, saying some half-truths in front of so many people. He would let his wife go out and talk to some gossips tomorrow. By then, it would be strange if Sha Zhu's reputation could be good. You, He Daqing, caused me to be beaten and lose my money, so I will completely wipe out the roots of your He family.

But the sound coming from the front yard just now surprised Yi Zhonghai. After leaving Qin Huairu and arriving at the front yard, Yi Zhonghai stood at the door and listened carefully to the noise outside. Now when he heard He Yuzhu calling Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai immediately walked out of the house, thinking about dealing with it himself, but he didn't expect to see Jia Dongxu coming out as well.

The two of them appeared at the lotus gate of the central courtyard almost at the same time. They saw Qin Huairu holding on tightly to the back seat of He Yuzhu's car. Now she looked as if she had lost her parents. There was no other reason, but that Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai also appeared in front of them.

Seeing Jia Dongxu appear, He Yuzhu said loudly: "Jia Dongxu, you finally decided to come out? You are a big man in the city, and you let your wife go out to ask other people for things all day long. Don't you feel ashamed? Now it's even better. Your wife actually stopped me from going home in public. I want to ask, did I dig up your ancestral grave or throw your son into the well? Your wife is shameless. I, He Yuzhu, am still thinking about getting married and starting a family to continue the family line in the future. Otherwise, I will really become a family without a son, and I will not be able to face my ancestors when I die." At this point, he deliberately shouted to the crowd watching the excitement: "Dear men, am I right?"

There were some people who loved to watch the scene and were not afraid of getting into trouble. They hid behind others and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Yes, even if a family member dies, they are not allowed to be buried in the ancestral tomb. They can only be thrown into the wilderness and fed to dogs."

Everyone present laughed after hearing this, except Yi Zhonghai, whose face turned ashen. Ever since he was removed from his position as the manager, the people in this courtyard no longer showed the same respect to him as before, and many even said a few sarcastic remarks to him. Today, they actually talked about the topic of extinction in front of him, which was simply outrageous.

But before Yi Zhonghai could say anything, Jia Dongxu walked up to He Yuzhu angrily and shouted, "Silly Zhu, what do you want to do? You are so young and you don't learn well. Do you want to be punished?"

He Yuzhu sneered and said, "If you, Jia Dongxu, are blind, then all the men in our courtyard can see it clearly. Who is the one who deliberately flirted with me when I was almost half a mile away? Who saw that I ignored her and ran up to me and held my bicycle and refused to let go? She still hasn't let go until now. I'd like to remind that shameless bitch that the bicycle I'm riding is the public bicycle of the Security Department. If you don't let go, don't blame me for going back to the Security Department to sue you for robbing a public bicycle."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Qin Huairu felt as if her hand was scalded. She immediately let go of her hand and slowly backed away.

Seeing his wife's behavior, Jia Dongxu was immediately furious and shouted in a low voice: "You are a disgrace, I will deal with you when I get back."

Then he turned around and glared at He Yuzhu, Jia Dongxu said viciously: "Silly Zhu, stop talking nonsense all day long. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will beat you up."

He Yuzhu looked at Jia Dongxu, who looked so weak, with disdain, and sneered, "Why do you, Jia Dongxu, still want to hit me? Have you forgotten something? I am a staff member of the Security Department of the steel rolling mill. Do you dare to hit me? You don't know what it's like to be in the small dark room of the Security Department? As for whether I am talking nonsense, we can report it to the police station or the Security Department. It's up to you. Let's ask the public security department and the Security Department to come to the courtyard to investigate. Is it me who is talking nonsense, or is it some bitch who is trying to get close to me? How about it, you go or me? Whoever admits his weakness is a grandson."

From He Yuzhu's words, he could tell that it was his wife who took the initiative to pester him. Jia Dongxu was not stupid. If he really reported the police, wouldn't he and the Jia family be embarrassed? He glared at Qin Huairu fiercely and swore in his heart that he would give her a good beating when he got home.

How could Yi Zhonghai dare to let He Yuzhu report to the police? By then the police would surely be able to investigate everything clearly, and wouldn’t he be exposed?

So Yi Zhonghai quickly stepped forward and scolded him: "Shazhu, why are you causing trouble all day? Why report to the police station? We can solve the problems in the courtyard ourselves. Why bother the police?"

He Yuzhu sneered and said, "Hey, isn't this the respected old man who was just dismissed by the street office? You are so shameless to draw a mouth on a blank piece of paper! You dare to say that matters in the courtyard should be solved in the courtyard. It seems that the street office has no effect on your ideological education. In the future, we can only try to see if the Public Security Bureau and the Security Department can educate you, a backward person."

Now more and more people gathered around to watch the fun. After hearing what He Yuzhu said, someone immediately shouted, "Silly Zhu, go report this to the street office. Yi Zhonghai doesn't seem to be accepting any education at all."

"Yes, maybe we have to hand him over to the Public Security Bureau and the Security Department as Sha Zhu said before Yi Zhonghai will behave himself. He deliberately picked a fight with Sha Zhu last night, and today Qin Huairu did the same thing again. It seems like he is really not being honest."

Listening to everyone's discussions, Yi Zhonghai felt disappointed. He was no longer the boss, and everyone was pushing him down when he fell.

Before Yi Zhonghai could speak, He Daqing had squeezed in from the back of the crowd, glanced at Yi Zhonghai, snorted, and then said loudly to everyone present: "Dear residents, I am here to convey a notice. The street office will come to our courtyard to hold a general meeting of all members at 7 o'clock tonight. Every household must send someone to attend. In principle, all adults in the households are required to attend. I was listening in the back for a while just now. What happened just now will also be dealt with at the general meeting tonight."

After hearing He Daqing's notice, the crowd at the scene slowly dispersed while talking about it. Jia Dongxu grabbed Qin Huairu's wrist and dragged her to the middle courtyard. Yi Zhonghai followed behind and opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound. What could he say when the husband controlled his wife? He could only watch Qin Huairu staggering and being dragged into the house by Jia Dongxu with a face full of resentment. Then there were bursts of beatings and scoldings, Qin Huairu's crying and begging for mercy. Yi Zhonghai clenched his fists tightly.
