Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

However, what disappointed Zhang Yunzhen was that Sha Zhu, the unlucky guy, was wandering around the house for a long time, and the stone in his hand was almost polished.

But he didn't have the courage to throw a stone to ask for directions, which aptly proved that he was a coward who bullied the weak and fawned on the powerful.

Don't be fooled by his flawless words in the courtyard all day long, and his overbearing and domineering attitude towards Xu Damao, but if he fights with real guns and swords, Sha Zhu's true colors will be exposed in an instant.

In Sha Zhu's mind, he knows exactly who he can afford to offend and who he cannot afford to offend.

At least for now, everyone in the entire courtyard is afraid of Li Weijun, including Yi Zhonghai, the only eighth-level fitter in the courtyard. Even Yi Zhonghai is domineering in the courtyard, regards himself as an elder, and often bullies the old ladies who live next door in the courtyard.

Although the deaf old lady has a highly respected title, she always wants to teach her descendants a lesson and blatantly takes sides. The others, due to their status and reputation, dare not offend the old lady and can only swallow their anger and bear it.

But Li Weijun has the old man's calligraphy. Don't even mention that you made shoes for the army just because it's a rumor. Even if you really did make shoes, what use is it in front of the old man's handwritten calligraphy?

It's just a wild fox Zen that is not presentable. The main weapons that Sha Zhu uses to dominate the courtyard are that he is big and fat, strong and powerful, and it is easy for him to bully Xu Damao, who is just a fancy man.

One could even say that Xu Damao wasn't even good at fancy moves. He could only be said to be a little clever, but not much.

Even if they used some tricks to outwit Sha Zhu and gain the upper hand temporarily, they would often be kicked and bruised by the humiliated and angry Sha Zhu.

This proves an eternal truth: a blacksmith must be strong himself.

Another powerful weapon is the deaf old lady's endorsement and guaranty. After all, he is the living ancestor of the Siheyuan. Every time a meeting of the whole courtyard is held, it seems that the uncle Yi Zhonghai occupies the position of judge.

In fact, the one who is really sure of the truth is the old lady who always complains that she is hard of hearing and deaf.

In the original plot, the second uncle Liu Haizhong once had Li Huaide as his backer.

He quickly rose to the top when the wind started to blow, got the title of patrol team captain, and caught Sha Zhu who was stealing and having dirty hands, and took revenge on him by locking him up.

But the old lady couldn't tell right from wrong. After learning that her eldest grandson Sha Zhu was imprisoned by Liu Haizhong, the old lady's legs and feet became unsteady and her hearing was no longer deaf.

He came to the house swearing and demanding an explanation, and in the end he even used his crutches to throw stones at the house of the second uncle Liu Haizhong, smashing all the glass in Liu Haizhong's doors and windows.

Having offended this living ancestor, the second uncle Liu Haizhong was forced by the situation to give up in disappointment. Not long after, he obediently released Sha Zhuchong from the confinement room.

We can tell a lot from the small details. We can see the extent to which Sha Zhu is taken care of by the deaf old lady. At the very least, she really treats Sha Zhu as her own son and grandson. After all, she will have to rely on Sha Zhu for her old age and funeral. It is impossible not to win him over.

As for Xu Damao and the other brats from Liu Haizhong's family, they all stayed aside in front of Sha Zhu. This was the truth that the old lady always said, that everything should be kept fair.

However, Li Weijun wanted to break the inherent structure of the Siheyuan and intervene to curb the momentum led by old lady Shazhu and Yi Zhonghai.

Li Weijun had no other intentions, he just wanted to stop the bad signs in time to avoid being troubled by the old lady in the future.

"Oh, forget it. The reason why I and Yu Li were able to have a chance to get together was thanks to Li Weijun's big steel watch. If it weren't for that big steel watch, how could I have met such a good girl like Yu Li? Although Sister Qin is also very good, she is not mine after all. I am an adult and can't act childishly."

Sha Zhu threw the stone into the corner with some disappointment and tried to comfort himself secretly. However, when he thought of the Phoenix brand bicycle and a crystal radio that Yu Li asked for when they got married, Sha Zhu felt a headache.

His father and Daqing eloped with the widow to live a shameless life in another place. When they left, they took away a lot of money. Over the years, Sha Zhu had to support He Yushui's schooling and also help the Jia family.

Although he had saved some money during his years in the steel mill canteen's kitchen, which was barely enough to buy him a Fei Ge bicycle, he had to follow the agreement he had made with He Yushui.

The first Fei Ge brand bicycle in the family was meant to be given to He Yushui for commuting to high school. This was a promise made many years ago. Now that He Yushui has become successful, if Sha Zhu, as his elder brother, goes back on his word and gets rich, his prestige in the family will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

What's more, because of the support for the Jia family, the relationship between He Yushui and Sha Zhu has been strained enough. If he gets angry again because of Yu Li's bicycle, he might even sever his family ties.

But if I can't buy a Feige brand bicycle, Yu Li won't be able to complete the task in a short time, and I can't keep borrowing the third uncle's bicycle to make up the number.

It's funny to say, in order to show off in front of Yu Li, Sha Zhu would spend a few dimes to borrow the bicycle from the old man every time he asked Yu Li out.

Then she said with a shameless face that the bicycle was for her own use. Although the bicycle was a bit old, it was well maintained, the paint was well preserved, and even the chain had no rust, so she easily fooled Yu Li.

But taking advantage of the situation like this is not a long-term solution. What's more, Yan Bugui is not always willing to lend him his bicycle. Sha Zhu doesn't dare to think about how bad things will be if Yu Li finds out the truth.

Thinking about his own troubles at home, Sha Zhu was not so concerned about Qin Huairu's voice in the room.

Instead, he began to think that it was time to ask the Jia family to pay back the money. He initially helped the Jia family because he coveted Qin Huairu's body. Now that there is no possibility, he might as well ask for back all the money he had helped the family with over the years.

Adding all these things together, it might be enough for me to buy a radio. What's more, the steel mill has just allocated a huge sum of money to the Jia family for pension, so it should not be a problem to repay the support I have received over the years.

So Sha Zhu eavesdropped at the corner of the door for a long time, and finally came up with an idea to ask the Jia family for money.

After throwing the stone, he went to the central courtyard to ask Qin Huairu's mother-in-law for money.

"Aunt Zhang, Yu Li and I are getting married soon. I have taken so much food and money from your Jia family over the years. Do you think you should return some of it temporarily so that I can survive the famine?"

Since the door was locked, Sha Zhu tried pushing it a few times without success and then shouted outside the door.

However, what Sha Zhu did not expect was that there was a bright light in the room, but no one answered.

He just thought that the old woman of the Jia family was pretending to be deaf and dumb, so he shouted a few more times, determined to wake up the old lady who was pretending to be stupid.

Inside the room, Aunt Zhang, who was doing needlework, had never expected that at this time, the young man Sha Zhu would actually knock on her door.

Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, he could only yell in a shrill voice: "I don't know, I have no money. These days, it seems that everyone is starving, ah..."

Sha Zhu listened to the sporadic noises in the room and always felt that there was something strange, but he couldn't put his finger on the feeling, so he could only bite the bullet and go forward to continue questioning.

"You don't have money? Where's the pension that Li Huaide just allocated? I overheard everything clearly when I was cooking for Director Li. It's about 500 yuan, enough to buy four bicycles. Why are you still pretending to be poor?"

"This silly Zhu is quite well-informed."

Granny Qin Huairu muttered a few words in her heart, her hands were busy, and she was too lazy to answer Sha Zhu's question, so she could only say impatiently: "It's none of your business whether I have money or not. Besides, you said my family owes you money, but you have an IOU and a written receipt. Without an IOU or a written receipt, it's just empty talk. If everyone is like you, then we shouldn't engage in production. Just talk nonsense and tell everyone you meet that you owe me money."

"Hey, you old lady are being unreasonable, aren't you? If you don't pay back the money you owe, there's no law. Come out and I'll show you the receipt!

Sha Zhu was irritated by these words. It was bad enough that Li Weijun was humiliated, but was he bullied by an old lady who was alone?

Sha Zhu couldn't afford to lose face in the courtyard, so he looked around, trying to find a handy weapon and prepared to break into the house.

When Qin Huairu's mother-in-law heard that there was no movement in the room, she thought that Sha Zhu had given up. Although she was a little pleased, she still tried her best to control the sound.

I was afraid of waking him up accidentally, so there was only a curtain between us.

As the saying goes, people need dignity and trees need bark. Although Qin Huairu's mother-in-law is a shrew who throws a tantrum in the courtyard all day long, she is clear about what she should and should not do in front of Bang Geng.

At the very least, we must not bring any mental damage to Banggeng. If this bastard really sees something he shouldn't see, wouldn't he get stye?

Although Jia Zhang was known in the entire Nanluoguxiang for her aggressive and domineering character, and was usually lazy and greedy, she was still quite fond of Banggeng, her only child.

The reason why Banggeng had already established a great reputation as a thief in Siheyuan at such a young age was largely the result of Jia Zhang's instigation.

He often instigated Bang Geng, who took advantage of his young age, to steal things from house to house in the courtyards, stealing onions from one house and garlic from another. If he was lucky, he would even steal the only remaining marriage in a family.

He developed the bad habit of stealing needles when he was young and stealing gold when he grew up. Later in the original plot, he was even more unfaithful and unfilial. After he became an adult, he was obsessed with emptying his adoptive father Sha Zhu, and took all this for granted.

In the original plot, Sha Zhu later married Qin Huairu. In order to take care of the Jia family's bastards, Qin Huairu secretly got an IUD. After being discovered by Sha Zhu, she explained with tears in her eyes.

He was afraid that after Sha Zhu had his own children, he would neglect Jia Dongxu's children.

Faced with this outrageous statement, Shazhu, who had been fooled by Qin Huairu for a long time, showed his true nature as a bootlicker to the fullest and agreed to Qin Huairu's idea of ​​not having children without hesitation.

He even blamed himself more and more for not paying more attention to the Jia family members, which fully demonstrated that there must be something hateful about pitiful people.

In order to take care of Qin Huairu's feelings, Sha Zhu was willing to bear the notoriety of the He family's extinction.

Normally, he treated the children of the Jia family as his own children. Any delicious food or drink from the steel mill's kitchen staff would be secretly brought home, especially his eldest son Banggeng, whom he doted on.

As a result, when Banggeng, Xiaodang and Huaihua, the offspring of the Jia family, grew up, they were all as good as Zhongshan wolves.

Sha Zhu's family finally saved up some money to buy a TV, but they had only used it for a few days before Bang Geng moved it to his home without any explanation, and even blamed Sha Zhu for only caring about his own enjoyment.

But when Lou Xiao'e came back from Hong Kong with Sha Zhu's real biological son He Xiao, Bang Geng and Xiao Dang, a few ungrateful people actually blocked her way.

He did everything he could to prevent the father and son from recognizing each other, making the biological son no longer look like his own son, and he, the ungrateful person who usurped the magpie's nest, just sat back and reaped the benefits.

The whole family enjoyed the wealth brought by Sha Zhu with peace of mind, while Sha Zhu was devouring Lou Xiao'e like a parasite.

Therefore, the most miserable person in the original plot is never Sha Zhu, but the Lou family, the silly and naive Lou Xiao'e.

Not only was she schemed against by the old lady and made Sha Zhu pregnant with a child, but in the end she ended up with no status and no position, and she was also obliged to help Sha Zhu support the several burdens of the Jia family.

Of course, under the influence of Li Weijun, Qin Huairu has long ignored those ungrateful bastards like Banggeng. If Li Weijun had not been concerned about the bad influence, Qin Huairu would have started to actively prepare for pregnancy and give birth to a child that is the true fruit of her love with Li Weijun.

Silly Zhu, it was thanks to Li Weijun that Lou Xiao'e was able to avoid the same tragic fate as in her previous life.

However, Sha Zhu obviously didn't have the time to think about these things at the moment. He went back to the house and rummaged through the drawers and cabinets, and finally found an iron hammer in the toolbox.

This thing is made of fine steel. Sha Zhu took it from the steel rolling mill by taking advantage of his position.

It can be called an armor-piercing weapon. Even in medieval Europe, a knight in moving clothes would be stunned for a while by a hammer, not to mention the rusty little lock of the Jia family.

Sha Zhu suspected that he didn't even need to use much strength, and could smash the lock into pieces with just a light hit.

"Since this old lady is so unreasonable, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you don't find it embarrassing, who cares about being decent?"

Sha Zhu took the hammer out of the toolbox, and without bothering to clean the oil stains on the hammer, he weighed it and prepared to break the iron lock and break into the house.
