Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Qin Jingru was puzzled and didn't realize that her words had broken Sha Zhu's heart into pieces, but she didn't think much about it and continued to clean up the house.

Chen Xu and Xu Damao felt that Qin Jingru was quite interesting.

Although Sha Zhu is only in his twenties now, he has an old face. After serving several months in labor reform, he looks even older and now even has white hair.

It's not surprising that Qin Jingru, a young girl with little experience in the world, made a mistake.

Sha Zhu went back and cried, and Chen Xu laughed for a while and then recovered. He had expected what would happen to Jia Dongxu, so he didn't think it was that strange, but the people in the Siheyuan didn't think so.

In their opinion, the Jia family was finished. Even if Jia Zhang came back, how could two widows with three children live like this?

For people of that era, having no male heir in the family was like the sky falling. This was true not only for the Jia family, but also for other families.

Just think about what would happen if Liu Haizhong was no longer in the second uncle’s family and Yan Bugui was no longer in the third uncle’s family?

Even though these people may act domineeringly or stingily at home, it cannot change the fact that they are the pillars of the family.

Chen Xu listened to the discussions of the residents in the courtyard and did not have a good impression of the Jia family.

After all, a lot of things have changed in the Siheyuan because of his arrival. Now Yi Zhonghai can't protect himself, and he has also lost his position as the eldest master. Naturally, he can't help the Jia family more.

What's more, no one knows whether Jia Dongxu is alive or not. Even if he is not dead, his choice of person to support him in his old age is also out of the question. In this case, it is like a dream to expect Yi Zhonghai, who is now penniless, to help the Jia family.

Although this old guy is keen on finding someone to take care of him in his old age, there is a prerequisite: himself and his money. After all, the main reason he expects others to help him in his old age is to prevent him from being destitute when he is old, and he does not expect others to support him.

Even his money is used as a tool to support the elderly, like a carrot in front of a donkey.

In this case, his money is the real part for retirement. Although the Yi family's situation is still better than most courtyard house residents, it is actually countless times worse than before they lost money.

In addition, he is now unable to go to work due to the hanging of one of his arms, and he doesn't know if he will have any sequelae in the future. It seems that this old man now values ​​his own savings more than helping the Jia family which is of no use to him.

The only thing Chen Xu is not sure about now is whether Yi Zhonghai will still set his goal of caring for the elderly on Qin Huairu. After all, Sha Zhu is definitely not worthy of Yi Zhonghai's attention now.

Sha Zhu, who is still an apprentice, can barely support himself and has the reputation of a labor camp prisoner. He has basically no hope for the future. Sha Zhu, who originally had a house and a good job, is only suitable to be a blood bag in Yi Zhonghai's eyes, not to mention now.

There are only a few courtyard houses suitable for Yi Zhonghai to raise his elderly parents, so he has no choice.

However, Chen Xu was so blind that he didn't realize that he was actually a good candidate to provide for Yi Zhonghai's retirement. Both his parents had passed away, he had a job, a decent house, and his wife was from the countryside.

How suitable for Yi Zhonghai's elderly care.

At least that's what Yi Zhonghai thought, so when he came back from the hospital, he thought about Chen Xu.

The only annoying thing is that the relationship between the two is very bad, and recently Chen Xu has been led astray by Xu Damao, which is a bit troublesome.

For this reason, Yi Zhonghai felt even more resentful towards Xu Damao. In his mind, he was just a troublemaker. Why did he get so close to Chen Xu for no reason? If Chen Xu still had the same personality as before, he would not be able to control him so easily.

He felt a little annoyed that he didn't take Chen Xu seriously at the beginning. Now it is not easy to restore the relationship with him.

After all, adding icing on the cake is not as appropriate as helping someone in need.

If he had helped Chen Xu when he had no food to eat, wouldn't Chen Xu be grateful to him now?

After much thought, Yi Zhonghai was ultimately unable to make a decision. After all, he was deeply traumatized by Jia Dongxu's incident. All his years of hard work had gone down the drain, and Yi Zhonghai felt inexplicably tired.

I just want to take care of myself when I am old, why should I be so tragic...

This guy never considered that what he was looking for was not a pensioner, but a puppet.

Even if Chen Xu, a time traveler and someone who knows Yi Zhonghai's character well, had been kicked in the head by a donkey, he would not provide him with support in his old age.

As a person living in the 21st century, his own ideas are different from those of people of this era. How many modern people are willing to provide for others in their old age, let alone a lone wolf like Chen Xu who was used to being wild in his previous life.

Chen Xu got the exact news about Jia Dongxu from Qin Jingru. Although this girl is not very big, her gossipy heart is as good as those aunties and young wives in the courtyard, and her personality is also quite outgoing.

Actually, she didn't have much to do in the Jia family. Banggeng had to go to school, and the only thing Qin Jingru needed to do was to clean the house, take care of Xiaodang, and cook and send her to the hospital. When she had nothing to do, she would hang out with the aunties in the courtyard, and soon she became familiar with them.

Chen Xu naturally had no thoughts about Qin Jingru, but that didn't mean others had none.

Qin Jingru is pretty, and many young men of the right age in the courtyard have shining eyes towards her, but unfortunately, not a single one of them actually takes action.

Young men are more visual animals and have almost no resistance to pretty girls, but that doesn't mean their families will let them do whatever they want.

For example, in the Yan family, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang were actually old enough to get married, but it was obvious that it would be better to kill Yan Bugui than to expect him to be willing to marry a country girl.

The reduction in rations made Yan Bugui frown all day long. People who didn't know him might have thought that this old man's family was not getting enough food. The actual situation was that the amount of food he secretly sold every month was decreasing.

After all, the whole family has a ration, and given Yan Bugui's nature, he will definitely sell some of the cheap grain. It can be said that the famine will not only not affect him, but he can also make some money.

For Yan Bugui, who would have suffered a loss if he had not gained any advantage, such a quantitative reduction is no different from directly robbing him of his money.

Unfortunately, this is the country's politics. Even if Yan Bugui is unwilling, he can do nothing about it. But that doesn't mean he will agree to his son marrying an unqualified wife.

Thinking that there might not even be a quota for daughters-in-law and grandchildren, Yan Bugui sternly warned his eldest and second sons that if they dared to marry a country girl, they would be forced to fend for themselves...

In this era, household registration follows the mother, which to a certain extent has led to city dwellers being more reluctant to marry country people. After all, everyone has to make a living, and no one is willing to lower their own living standards.

What's more, there is the obvious example of the Jia family in the courtyard.

Even if Chen Xu brought Lin Chan back, it was still these young men in the courtyard who thought it was worth it, and the others were not optimistic either.

In their eyes, being beautiful cannot make a living. Isn’t Qin Huairu very beautiful? But what is the result?

Jia Dongxu is busy supporting his family every day, so the accident now may be due to excessive pressure.

If Qin Huairu had a city hukou, why would Jia Dongxu need to be so anxious? What is this called? This is a lesson learned from the past.

In the eyes of others, Chen Xu is a stubborn guy who won't turn back until he hits a wall.
