Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Chapter 51 He Daqing Returns to the Quadrangle

"What the hell, you just cry, can crying bring food?"

As soon as Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu crying, she started scolding her.

"Mom, that's enough. I'll ask Master tomorrow."

Jia Dongxu was also annoyed. He was already angry because there was no food, and now they were making a lot of noise in the middle of the night.

"That's pretty much it..."

Jia Zhang went back to rest proudly. She forced Jia Dongxu to find a way to have food without paying for it.

Looking at his mother who went back to sleep, Jia Dongxu sighed and turned to look at Qin Huairu who was still wiping tears.

"Forget it, go to bed early."

Qin Huairu asked cautiously.

"Dongxu, if this continues, what will happen to Xiaodang? I don't have any milk now."

Jia Dongxu felt an even greater headache. He was not Jia Zhang. This old hag kept calling her granddaughter Xiaodang a money-loser. But Jia Dongxu still felt sorry for his daughter.

"Well, I'll go to Shichahai to see if I can buy some fish tomorrow when I get off work."

At least Jia Dongxu knew that crucian carp could increase lactation, so he had to give it a try anyway.

Qin Huairu nodded slightly, but she felt it was not very reliable.

Jia Dongxu had bought fish before, but his mother-in-law ate most of it, so he left her some bones and soup.

It is impossible to say that she does not hate in her heart, but she is an ordinary woman, without a job and without money. What else can she do except to follow her husband wherever he goes?

Having such a mother-in-law, Qin Huairu is unlucky for eight lifetimes...

the other side.

After watching the lively event, Chen Xu was satisfied and went straight into the space when he returned home.

I sat there in a daze, watching the space automatically knead the dough and then start steaming buns.

If other people saw this kind of thing, they would probably think it was the work of ghosts. Chen Xu found it strange at first, but got used to it after a while.

Now he is a little worried. Director Chen said he would help him get a permanent job next month, but he can't just give up the gains after getting a permanent job...

It's hard to get supplies now, and Lin Chan doesn't always have prey. What should he do as a buyer in the future? Just bring back radishes and cabbages every day like everyone else!

I felt a little sad that I traveled through time at the wrong time. If it had been a few years earlier, when my own space had developed, I wouldn't have to worry about famine.

No matter how much you think about it, you still have to live and keep your job.

The current situation is food shortage, and he can't think of a better solution for the time being, so he can only take one step at a time.

At least, he is better than other buyers.

Chen Xu comforted himself in his heart that he was not afraid of his own incompetence, but he was afraid that his competitors were even more incompetent.

If you run around more often, you will always be able to get something back.

"Bah, no future."

Chen Xu wanted to slap himself. As a time traveler, he had to rely on his peers to get by. It was a shame for a time traveler to be so successful.

He is now a little greedy. It would be great if his space was like the golden fingers he had seen in those novels in his previous life, to have a huge space that could adjust time right from the start.

I remember he had read a novel about Siheyuan, called "The Happy Life of the Man Behind the Siheyuan".

That's what we call a golden finger, and it's really fun. Not only can you fly and hide in the ground, but you can also travel around the world.

If you have nothing to do, go to other countries to buy for free, get enough gold, and have as much delicacies as you want, even seafood is only fit to feed cats...

Look at himself again. If you compare yourself with others, you will die. If you compare goods with others, they will be thrown away. The ancients were right.

(Note: The author of the failed book is himself. If you are interested, you can take a look at the book, which I also wrote. It is still being serialized and has more than 500,000 words. The title of the book is: The Happy Life of the Behind-the-scenes Pusher of the Siheyuan Courtyard. The protagonist is Lin Yuan.)

Forget it, let's take it slow. My space seems more like a developmental one. I'm just unlucky and have encountered a disaster year. But it's not a big problem. Compared to the situation when I almost starved to death when I first arrived, at least I have no problem surviving now.

Chen Xu no longer dwelled on this matter. Thinking too much would only make him unhappy. Human greed is endless. Now he envied others' golden fingers, but maybe when he really had a stronger one, he would envy those who were arbitrary and domineering from the beginning. It would be better to finish his work early and go to bed.

The He family in the middle courtyard of the quadrangle.

He Daqing was also frowning now. The telegram sent by the deaf old lady and others had limited words, so he only knew that Sha Zhu was taken to the police station for beating someone. He also thought that the matter could be settled by paying compensation, but he didn't expect that the matter had become so serious now.

He knew how difficult Father Xu was. The three of them had been friends for a long time, but it was questionable whether this friendship was good or bad. Now his own son had turned his son into a eunuch. He Daqing himself didn't believe that Father Xu would let it go.

What's more, several people also said that Sha Zhu's sentencing was basically a foregone conclusion, but if he couldn't deal with the Xu family, the situation would be even more serious. If he was really sentenced to ten or eight years, Sha Zhu would be dead.

To put it bluntly, if the Xu family holds Xu Damao responsible for his cripple, then Sha Zhu will have to bear the consequences of crippling someone, which is countless times more serious than simply severely injuring someone.

If the Xu family was dealt with, Sha Zhu would at most be held responsible for using excessive force in a fight, which was a much lighter sentence. Although he would still have to be sentenced, fighting was not a big deal these days. It was just that the force of the fight was not controlled.

Generally, you can be released in three months or six months. If you are unlucky, it will only take one or two years. It depends on how the judicial authorities decide, and there is a bit of luck involved.

These days, there is no sewing machine for you to work on after being sentenced. If you could make a living by working on a sewing machine, there would be a lot of people willing to do that. There are too many people willing to work hard for a living these days. How could such a good thing possibly belong to the prisoners?

Now that the country is developing and constructing, most of the prisoners are sent to open mountains, dig coal, build roads, etc. In short, these are jobs with high risk factors or high labor intensity. Very few of them can come back after being sentenced to ten or eight years.

The only good thing about Sha Zhu's matter now is that it can still be discussed. He Daqing feels that his relationship with Xu's father is better than that with Yi Zhonghai. If paying the money can help Sha Zhu, that's all.

However, the price was too high. Not only did Xu's father ask for the property, but also huge medical expenses and compensation. It was not that He Daqing was reluctant to give up these things. After all, the person was gone, so what was the use of the property?

It’s just that the compensation is a bit too much. Mr. Xu asked for five thousand yuan right away, and no less.

The deaf old lady originally wanted to discuss something with him, but she just disappeared, saying that she was going to help Xu Damao find a folk remedy. As to whether she went to find a folk remedy or hid herself on purpose, only God knows.

Seeing that the time Sha Zhu has left to go to court is getting shorter and shorter, if the Xu family is not dealt with, Sha Zhu may really be gone. Even if he is lucky enough to survive the labor reform period, he will be useless now.

This is just what we see now. The other things are more troublesome. First of all, he will definitely lose his job in the steel rolling mill. If it is only three to half a year, He Daqing feels that he may be able to keep the job if he finds someone he knows.

But I guess I have to start all over again. This is still possible if I try it.

After all, it's a matter of personal relationships, and the steel mill is not a judicial department. As long as the leaders of the steel mill are willing to be lenient, there will be no problem. Of course, if it takes a long time, it will definitely not work. Who would be willing to reserve a place for a guy who doesn't know whether he can come back.

Also, no matter what era it is, having been in jail is not a good thing. Even in the 21st century when Chen Xu traveled through, people who have been in jail will be discriminated against, but in this era it is countless times more serious.
