Siheyuan: I don't mind if I break up the marriage

"After all, the eldest uncle is the manager of the compound and Dongxu's master."

"It's hard to say whether our family will need a master in the future."

As expected of Qin Huairu, she looks at issues in a much longer-term perspective than Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu.

Putting aside other things, considering Yi Zhonghai's family conditions, it wouldn't be a problem to ask him to help his family occasionally, right?

Although three or five pounds of double-mixed flour is not worth much, it is free and you might as well miss it, right?

"What do you know?! Yi Zhonghai is an old man with no son! He is counting on my son to take care of him in his old age!"

"My Jia family has agreed to this huge matter. What else does Yi Zhonghai want?"

"What's wrong with standing on our Jia family's side and helping our Jia family speak up?"

"Can he spare a dollar? Can he spare a piece of meat?"

"Dongxu is his half-son! How does this old, dead-end man treat our family?!"

"You rely on others to take care of you in your old age, but when something goes wrong, they don't even help you out. How can they provide for your old age?"

Jia Zhang felt that her family had paid enough, and now she thought that Yi Zhonghai had treated her family unfairly!

We really need to see who can provide for Yi Zhonghai when he gets old! By then, he will definitely ask the Jia family for help.

By then... hehe, it won't be such a simple retirement anymore!

After Jia Zhang finished her rant, Jia Dongxu rolled his eyes at Qin Huairu again.

"You bullshit master! I'm not a steel mill worker anymore!"

"It's such a big deal, but Yi Zhonghai won't help!"

"I'm fighting with this stupid guy, and he won't even help me!"

"He's an old man with nothing to lose. He only wants me to take care of him in his old age. Does he really plan to not give anything at all?"

"It's fine if we break up. Anyway, let's see what he'll do when he gets old. He'll beg me for mercy then!"

"When he begs me for help, his pension and house must all be given to me!"

"That's right." Jia Zhang also muttered at the right time.

Like mother, like son; these two people thought the same thing.

Qin Huairu standing by sighed inwardly. She could understand why Yi Zhonghai got so close to Sha Zhu.

Isn't it that they have given up on you, Jia Dongxu, and want Sha Zhu to be the one to take care of the elderly in the future?

The only unstable factor now is that Jia Dongxu's father is dead, but Sha Zhu's father is not dead, he just ran away.

If Sha Zhu's father comes back one day, Yi Zhonghai's plan will be completely shattered.

At that time, Yi Zhonghai might really have to come to his family to surrender and apologize.

At this moment, an evil thought suddenly flashed through Qin Huairu's mind.

"If Sha Zhu's father really never comes back, then won't Yi Zhonghai be free labor for his family in the future?"

"Who will he spend the money he earns on? Who will he spend his pension on? Isn't he relying on Jia Dongxu?"

"If we can really get Yi Zhonghai's house in the future, then wouldn't this house be great?"

Suddenly, Qin Huairu's blocked thoughts seemed to be opened up.

He thought that after enduring the constant beatings and scolding from Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu, he finally saw hope.

Now Qin Huairu is doing this for nothing else but for the day when Banggeng grows up.

Now I have money and a house, and I have finally become a mother-in-law after being a daughter-in-law for many years. Can't I enjoy my life now?

But the prerequisite for this is that Sha Zhu’s father must not come back!

An evil idea flashed through Qin Huairu's mind. This plan had to be implemented bit by bit.

If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Qin Huairu found a reason to convince herself...

I thought to myself, I have to keep going, there will be hope one day.

......

Time flies and more than half a year has passed.

The courtyard was unusually quiet for most of the past six months, and it was now the end of summer in 1952.

The weather in the dog days of summer is hot, humid and stuffy, and one feels as uncomfortable as if being in a steamer.

Especially in a place like Beijing, the days are miserable.

Most of the gentlemen in Compound No. 95 are still resisting the last struggle of the scorching heat, struggling in the greasy workshop.

The old ladies in the compound were working at the gate while pasting matchboxes or sewing shoe soles and insoles.

I earn a few cents doing these small odd jobs to supplement the family income.

Banggeng could already run at this time, but he still couldn't speak clearly. However, he understood a lot of things.

He stayed around Jia Zhang every day, and Jia Zhang treated him like her own life, taking care of him meticulously.

Qin Huairu was pregnant with a big belly. She had been pregnant for ten months and her second baby was about to be born.

However, it is impossible for Qin Huairu to stop doing housework just because she is going to have a baby.

In the house, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, fanned herself with a palm-leaf fan, and then picked up the clothes and patches from the sticks and started sewing.

As for Jia Dongxu, he has changed several jobs in the past six months.

He changed from a night soil collector to a porter, but he felt that he was earning too little and was not working hard enough, so he became a loader.

Being a loader is a physical job and the pay is quite good, so Jia Dongxu is quite satisfied with it.

But after working for two months, Jia Dongxu found that his waist was hurting, especially at night, so much so that he couldn't turn over to sleep.

There was no way I could go to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said it was a lumbar disc herniation and I would no longer be able to carry heavy objects with my waist.

In order to treat the disease, he spent all the money he earned from working as a loader on it.

Now, not only did he not make any money, but his health is also ruined. Jia Dongxu suffered a huge loss.

After resting for a while, Jia Dongxu had no choice but to go back to working as a night soil collector.

Only then did I realize that although the job of a night soil collector is smelly, the salary is really high and the physical effort required is much less than that of a scavenger or a porter.

Even if Jia Dongxu doesn't want to do it anymore, he still has to work hard for the money...

Nothing major happened in Yan Bugui's family, except that Yan Jiecheng had some unpleasantness with Jia Dongxu.

Mainly because of work.

Yan Jiecheng has no culture, no ability, and is not as physically strong as Jia Dongxu.

When Jia Dongxu became a loader, he took away a lot of work from Yan Jiecheng. Less work meant less pay, so the two of them had some minor conflicts.

However, after Jia Dongxu suffered a herniated disc, Yan Jiecheng privately mocked Jia Dongxu countless times.

He also secretly cursed Jia Dongxu for giving all the money he worked hard to earn to the hospital. He deserved it!

As for Liu Haizhong's home in the backyard, it was also very peaceful.

On the other hand, Liu Haizhong seemed like a completely different person after he came out of there after living there for three months. He spoke less and his desire to take charge was not as strong as before.

Instead, his emotions became even more unstable. Whenever he disliked Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, he would pull out his belt and beat them up.

Just do it, there's no reason.

This also led to the Liu Guangtian brothers, who would run away when they saw Liu Haizhong was unhappy, and sometimes they even dared not to go home.

It looked like a stray dog ​​running away in the street, peeing as it ran...
