Siheyuan: Separate from the beginning and live with my sister

By the day before the Chinese New Year, the renovation of Yu Li's house in the backyard was finally completed, and the heating in her own home was also installed.

Moreover, Master Jin refused to charge any additional installation fees, so his help was in vain, which made He Lin feel very sorry.

Seeing the room beautifully tidied, He Lin was very happy and prepared 2 kilograms of pork for each worker as a thank you gift.

"Master Jin, you don't want the installation fee, so how can you let our brothers work for nothing? Just accept this little token of your appreciation."

"Hey, Brother Xiaolin is really generous. If it were any other time, I would definitely be embarrassed to accept it, but it's almost the New Year and my family is really short of money, so I accepted it right away. Come on, brothers, thank you, Chief He."

"You're welcome, Master Jin. I'll need your help again when I have work in the future."

"Don't worry, I, Lao Jin, promise to be here whenever you call. Just let me know if you need anything."

After seeing off Master Jin and his gang, He Lin returned to the central courtyard. Yang Xue was still watching the third uncle writing Spring Festival couplets.

Yan Bugui had only written some old couplets, so he asked Yang Xue for help and she came up with some new words, which made him very happy.

"Xiao Lin, Xiao Xue's education level is really good. She is indeed a top student of the Sijiu City Medical College."

"That's right. How could the person I, He Lin, find be any worse?"

"That's true. Xiao Lin, you've been amazing recently. You've been promoted, made a fortune, bought a house and renovated it. You're successful in your career and in love. Come here, Jie Cheng, help your brother Lin put up the Spring Festival couplets. When you come back, if there's a chance for your brother Lin to help you, you'll enjoy it to your heart's content."

After what happened yesterday, Yan Bugui finally understood that He Lin could easily deal with the Jia family and Sha Zhu, and he was the only one in this courtyard.

He no longer had the thought of dealing with He Lin, and his dissatisfaction with having intercepted Yu Li also disappeared.

He Lin had taken all the money from Yi Zhonghai's family and Yi Zhonghai even owed He Lin an IOU of 300 yuan.

Aunt Liu Cuilan also divorced Yi Zhonghai. Since every grievance has its perpetrator, He Lin naturally would not ask Aunt Liu for money again.

Now the deaf old lady lives with an old lady.

The two of them relied on a little subsidy from the old lady and some handicraft work from an aunt to make a living, and they could barely make ends meet on weekdays.

By the time the Chinese New Year comes, we are running out of money and haven't prepared anything decent for the New Year yet.

The deaf old lady had no other choice but to go to He Lin's house with Liu Cuilan to see if they could take care of them.

"Is Xiaolin home? Grandma came to talk to you."

He Lin was playing cards with Yang Xue and Yu Shui at home. The three of them were playing "Dou Dizhu".

There's nothing we can do. There are too few entertainment options these days. If there were one more person, we could play mahjong.

"It's the old lady. Come in, please."

"Oh, my eldest granddaughter is at home too. The New Year is coming soon, so grandma came to visit you guys when she has nothing to do."

Most families these days are short of clothes, let alone a family of two women with little income.

When He Lin saw the deaf old lady come in, he knew what it meant.

It's better to give face to the Buddha than to the monk. Even if it's because of the bracelet he gave to Yang Xueyu last time, he has thought about giving some New Year gifts to the deaf old lady.

I'm just worried that if a favor is bestowed upon me, there will be a grudge against me. It would be bad if that happened.

He Lin was waiting for the deaf old lady to come to his house in person. He then pretended to be short of supplies and finally got some things, and naturally shared some with them.

This helps them without making them feel it is too easy.

"Hey, old lady, I still ask you to come and talk to me during the New Year. It's all because of the shortage of supplies. I haven't gotten any decent New Year's goods yet. I entertained guests at home at noon and used up more than half a pound of meat given by the steel mill. I am embarrassed to go to you empty-handed."

"But don't worry, I've asked a friend to get some meat tonight. I'll give you some when I get it."

The deaf old lady was very happy after hearing what He Lin said. No matter what, the other party did not forget her. No matter whether she could get meat or not, it was a thoughtful gesture.

"Xiao Lin, what are you talking about? Grandma is not coming to you to ask for food. It's enough that you have this intention. It's not easy for every family now. Don't make it difficult for yourself when you get supplies."

"Old lady, it's okay. I am more or less a cadre now. Although it's not easy, I can find some ways if I go out more often. You just stay at home."

"Auntie, please take care of the old lady."

"Don't worry, old lady. But you know that Lao Yi and I have been divorced for a long time. Why do you still call me Auntie?"

"Hey, I don't care if you are an uncle or not, but you are definitely my aunt."

Liu Cuilan was also very moved. She had always felt guilty towards the He brothers and sisters because of Yi Zhonghai's matter. She didn't expect that He Lin did not resent her.

"Xiao Lin, thank you for not blaming me. It was Lao Yi who let you and your sister down. I know that no matter how much I say, it can't make up for his crime. Reforming in prison is the punishment he deserves."

"Yi Zhonghai is Yi Zhonghai, and you are you. Yi Zhonghai's affairs have nothing to do with you. I know the difference clearly."

Finally, the deaf old lady and the middle-aged lady were sent out. Yang Xue and Yu Shui were so frustrated that this guy was really good at deceiving people.

I also used half a pound of meat to entertain guests at noon, and I'm afraid each person ate more than half a pound of meat.

Especially Yu Haitang, that big glutton, who ate two large plates of mutton by herself, but her figure was still slim and tall, and I don’t know where all the fat went.

"Brother, I found out that you are a big liar?"

"Yushui, you just realized it? Isn't your brother a liar? You better keep your eyes open when you look for a partner in the future."

"Of course, but I don't plan to find a partner. I will stay with Sister Xiaoxue for the rest of my life. I will eat and wear what you want. I just don't know if you are willing or not."

"Silly girl, of course I am willing, but when you grow up in a few years, you have to find a partner."

"Then let's talk about it when the time comes. It's still early anyway."

He Lin ignored the two bickering little girls. He had no choice but to make these plans. It would be better to keep a low profile during this special period.

Every household in the yard is preparing New Year's goods.

Second uncle Liu Haizhong is now a level 7 worker, with a monthly salary of 84 yuan.

The eldest son Liu Guangqi also went to work and did not spend the family's money, so the Liu family lived a pretty good life and they prepared quite a lot of New Year's goods.

Qin Huairu was an adult raising three children and had no income at all, so she could only rely on Sha Zhu for support.

It's a pity that Sha Zhu's usual money was sucked dry by his sister Qin, and he spent the last 5 dollars on an expensive barbecue. He is worried now.
