Siheyuan, my new life

Yi Zhonghai pushed open the half-open door and walked into the house. He waved to his wife, who was sitting at the round table with a nervous look on her face, signaling her not to speak for the time being, and then turned around to close the door.

At the moment of closing the door, Yi Zhonghai could vaguely see in the dim moonlight a flickering red dot on the glass of the main door of the house, which had long been dark after the lights were turned off. It was obvious that someone was standing at the door, smoking and watching the fun. From the height of the red dot, Yi Zhonghai immediately determined that this person was He Daqing.

Thinking of how embarrassed he was when he was surrounded by the neighbors in the courtyard just now, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai was extremely dissatisfied with He Daqing. They usually called each other brothers all day long, but today he watched him being surrounded by people but he did not take the initiative to rescue him. It seems that drinking buddies are unreliable!

Yi Zhonghai looks honest on the surface, but he is definitely smart. Perhaps it is the rough experience of fleeing from the Northeast to the city that has changed his mind. Now, no matter what Yi Zhonghai does, the first thing he thinks of is whether it is good for him. He can be regarded as an extreme egoist, but he relies on a loyal and honest appearance to hide his inner heart very well. In order to achieve his goal, Yi Zhonghai often promotes the spirit of respecting the elderly and loving the young in the courtyard, but he mixes a lot of private goods in the propaganda process, such as the fallacy that there are no wrong parents, only wrong children. After a long time, some residents of the courtyard really support his point of view. In fact, if you investigate carefully, you can find that most of the people who support this absurd theory are those who follow the style of the head of the family at home. They often beat and scold their children. Now that they hear Yi Zhonghai's absurd propaganda, don't they immediately regard it as the truth? Now, if I beat or scold my children from now on, even if I have theoretical support, and if the children express any objection, I will immediately be labeled as unfilial. In this era that places great emphasis on reputation, once it is spread that one is unfilial to parents and elders, then this person will basically be ostracized by society, and even his work, marriage, etc. will be seriously affected.

Yi Zhonghai had been the manager of the Siheyuan for nearly two years, and he had gotten used to the wonderful feeling of having a hundred people responding to his orders. This was the first time he had encountered such an embarrassing situation as being surrounded by 20 to 30 Siheyuan residents. In addition to feeling embarrassed, Yi Zhonghai was also a little angry that those who had received his favors had watched him being surrounded, but no one stood up to help him.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai suddenly remembered that he had not seen any trace of the Jia family today. He couldn't help but look in the direction of the Jia family. Although the lights were off and the doors were closed, it was dark. But with the moonlight, Yi Zhonghai could clearly see the curtains of the Jia family shaking constantly. Obviously, there was someone hiding there and looking out.

Yi Zhonghai felt a chill in his heart. If He Daqing's inaction made him angry, then Jia Dongxu's indifference, his disciple and retirement target, made Yi Zhonghai completely disappointed. He gritted his teeth, closed the door, and whispered to his wife, "Xiuqin, go to bed first. I'll sit and smoke a cigarette before going to bed later."

The aunt looked at Yi Zhonghai, whose face was livid, and said with concern: "Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong was arrested tonight because of his own fault. Don't worry about this guy. Those people in the yard only want to take advantage of a little bit, and they should be taught a lesson. You still have to go to work tomorrow, so don't stay up too late."

Yi Zhonghai forced out a stiff smile and said, "Okay, I understand. You go to sleep first."

After the auntie returned to the bedroom, Yi Zhonghai turned off the light, sat down at the table, lit a cigarette, and took a deep puff. Yi Zhonghai's heart was now filled with violence and anger. He never thought that Jia Dongxu, who usually looked filial and obedient in front of him, was actually an ungrateful person.

It was not until then that Yi Zhonghai finally understood that everything Jia Dongxu did in front of him was a deliberate disguise. Thinking about Jia Dongxu's words and deeds every time he faced his temptations, Yi Zhonghai now realized that this bastard was actually acting with him, and he had been deceived by him many times. This is what it means to be pecked in the eye by a goose while hunting geese all day.

Yi Zhonghai now really wanted to stab this traitor who tried to deceive him. You know, Yi Zhonghai is not a good man. On the way from the Northeast to Sijiu City, Yi Zhonghai's hands were stained with blood in order to resist those bandits who blocked the road and robbed people.

No one knew that Yi Zhonghai knew Kung Fu, and his skills were quite good. Four or five adults were no match for him. If he had not been confident in his skills, how could he have dared to take his family with him on the journey to visit his relatives?

Since coming to Sijiu City, Yi Zhonghai has never shown his kung fu skills in front of others, and he also specifically instructed his wife to keep it strictly confidential and not tell anyone, including the deaf old lady in the backyard.

Usually, Yi Zhonghai would take the opportunity of going out for a walk every morning to secretly practice martial arts in a remote corner where no one was around, and he has never missed it for all these years.

Although Jia Dongxu was young and strong, Yi Zhonghai believed that it would be easy for him to deal with this traitor. However, the current social environment has begun to gradually stabilize. It is easy to kill Jia Dongxu, but once he is found out by the police, his fate can be imagined. Yi Zhonghai will not risk his life for this traitor. Thinking of the secret plan he had arranged back then, Yi Zhonghai showed a smug smile on his face. It seems that this traitor cannot die now, so let him live a few more years.

After thinking about Jia Dongxu, the traitor, Yi Zhonghai's eyes appeared with the dead face of He Daqing again.

To be honest, Yi Zhonghai was absolutely envious of He Daqing. He envied He Daqing for his cooking skills and his success in the steel mill. He was also the deputy director of the canteen. Although he was only a deputy section chief, he was still a cadre. He envied He Daqing for having a son and a daughter despite losing his wife at an early age. He hated He Daqing's status, connections and children. He was almost 40 years old, but his wife still didn't give him a child. Although Qin Huairu had always claimed that Banggeng was his own flesh and blood, Yi Zhonghai was always skeptical.

Yi Zhonghai remembers it very clearly. At that time, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill responded to the call from its superiors and organized a group of technical workers in the factory to go to nearby rural areas to help repair agricultural machinery. Yi Zhonghai, who was already a fifth-level fitter, and a seventh-level master worker formed a team and came to Qinjia Village, Changping County.

After successfully repairing the damaged farm machinery, the village chief of Qinjia Village warmly entertained the two workers from the city. After a round of drinking, Yi Zhonghai got drunk, and the two had to live in the homes of fellow villagers arranged by the village chief.

When he woke up the next morning, Yi Zhonghai was surprised to find that there was a naked, beautiful girl lying next to him. He also knew this girl. She was the landlord's daughter, Qin Huairu, a girl who had just turned eighteen years old.

After a careful inspection, Yi Zhonghai found traces of blood on the lower bodies of both people, and a bright red mark was also left on the bed sheet.

Yi Zhonghai, who had experienced many hardships, did not panic. He carefully recalled the memory of last night. After thinking hard, Yi Zhonghai sighed helplessly. He actually drank too much. He could only vaguely remember that after drinking too much, he was helped into the room by the landlord's daughter Qin Huairu. It seemed that several people present were drunk at that time. The landlord, his wife, and his son sent the village chief and the other three people back respectively, and the landlord's daughter Qin Huairu helped him into the next room.

Yi Zhonghai was a suspicious person by nature. He felt that he was being plotted against and was worried that he had been set up by someone else. He wanted to see what the other party was up to, so he woke up Qin Huairu who was still sleeping.

Qin Huairu, who had just woken up, immediately started crying, but the experienced Yi Zhonghai still detected a hint of panic in her eyes, which made him more convinced of his suspicion.

Yi Zhonghai calmly put on his clothes, lit a cigarette, and then said expressionlessly: "Qin Huairu, don't act in front of me, just tell me what's going on."

Qin Huairu was just a little girl who grew up in the countryside. After hearing this, she said nervously, "Master Yi, what do you mean? Last night, after I helped you into the house, you took advantage of the alcohol and pulled me onto the kang. How could you be so unreasonable?"
