Siheyuan: Separate from the beginning and live with my sister

In a detention center somewhere in the suburbs of Old City.

A man with a square face, approximately in his 50s, stood in front of the instructor.

"Yi Zhonghai, due to your good behavior, your sentence has been reduced by three months. Now your sentence has been completed. This is your release document. Don't forget the teachings when you go back, and be a good person."

"Thank you, instructor. I will definitely do that."

Yi Zhonghai came out of the detention center, glancing at the dark clouds in front of him. The ups and downs of the past year came to his mind. It was all caused by that brat He Lin. When he returned to the courtyard, he would definitely teach him a lesson.

Liu Cuilan has divorced me, and I will be alone from now on. How should I live?

And I don’t know how the factory will deal with my identity as a level 7 worker?

Headache.

Let’s go back to the courtyard first.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai had a pretty good life during the past six months. Because he had the skills of an advanced fitter, he repaired various facilities in the detention center and did a lot of technical work. The instructors in the prison were quite caring towards him.

It was for this reason that he was granted a three-month reduction in his sentence, otherwise it would have taken some time for him to be released.

He Lin was in the office when he received a call from Yu Li. This was the first time she called him and he didn't know what this little girl wanted to do.

Yu Li used the street office phone, and nowadays phones have poor sound insulation, so people talking inside can be heard clearly outside. He Lin didn't dare to say anything obscene, but it would be nice to chat on the phone with the little girl for a while.

"What's wrong, Sister Li?"

"Xiao Lin, I have something to tell you. Uncle Yi Zhonghai has been released from prison. I just went through the formalities with my colleague. I think it's almost time for him to go back to the courtyard."

"Okay, I understand. I'll have to congratulate the uncle when I get back."

He Lin knew what Yu Li was thinking. It was just that he was asked to be more careful. After all, he was the one who sent him to jail. Of course, it was Yi Zhonghai who did something wrong and he received the punishment he deserved.

However, one should be careful about things. In case he has bad intentions and is thinking of some evil ideas, Yu Li also reminds herself to be on guard.

But He Lin didn't care. He didn't care about the old man before, and now there is a huge gap between their identities and status. Why would he care about a labor camp prisoner like him?

Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard and wanted to find Yan Bugui to inquire about what had happened over the past year.

As a result, the third uncle made up an excuse and got away with it. He said a lot of nonsense, but never got to the point. Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he couldn't vent his anger and could only go home in disappointment.

Originally, Yi Zhonghai's family had two houses. When they divorced, one was given to Liu Cuilan, and now only the other one is left.

No one has lived there for more than half a year, and the walls are covered with dust and spider webs.

No one came to help him, so the old man had to clean up by himself.

It was not until after get off work that Yi Zhonghai waited for his "good old son" Sha Zhu to come back. Who would have known that Sha Zhu had made an appointment with Li Jinyu to have dinner at his home today.

Seeing a graceful young girl standing next to Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai had a lot to say but didn't know where to start.

"Uncle, you're out? Congratulations, this is my girlfriend, Li Jinyu. Come on, Jinyu, say hello to you, uncle."

Li Jinyu was very good at judging men. She knew she had to give face to Sha Zhu at this time, so she greeted Yi Zhonghai obediently.

Yi Zhonghai was a little confused. How come his chosen elderly relative had a partner so soon? This was not a good sign. However, he didn't understand the situation now, so he had to take it slow.

"Zhu Zi, my uncle just came home. I prepared some small dishes at home today. I want to invite you to have a drink together, and call Huai Ru too. Let's have some fun together, shall we?"

"It's been a long time since I last tasted your cooking."

Just as Sha Zhu was about to agree, Li Jinyu pinched the tender flesh on his lower back, and he took the words back.

"I'm sorry, uncle. I have an appointment with Jin Yu to have dinner at my house today. It's really unfortunate. I'll come back another day to welcome you back another day."

Ignoring Yi Zhonghai's lost look, Sha Zhu was pulled back home by Li Jinyu.

What the hell, I’ve only been in there for half a year, why did the wind change?

It’s bad enough that Yan Laokou ignores me, but why does Sha Zhu also ignore me and even find a partner behind my back? What should I do?

Yi Zhonghai was in a daze in the yard when he saw Qin Huairu coming back from work.

The old lovers were extremely excited to meet each other.

Qin Huairu recently lost his blood cow Sha Zhu, and was worried that he had no way to get him back. Unexpectedly, Yi Zhonghai came back. With Daye as his wingman, it was still unknown who would win over Sha Zhu.

Even if I can't win back Sha Zhu, at least I have Lao Yi, the bull, so it's not a bad thing either way.

Yi Zhonghai had been holding it in for too long, and he felt the urge to get high when he saw a female, especially Qin Huairu's "old A6", which he had driven before.

The two men each had their own goals and needed what they needed. In the evening, Qin Huairu fried two vegetarian dishes and invited Yi Zhonghai to her home for dinner.

"Hey, where's your mother-in-law? She should have been released a long time ago. Did she get into trouble again?"

Qin Huairu's face turned red, not knowing what was going on.

Moreover, it seemed that Jia Zhang would be better off staying in jail. It was not like she had been there before. Now, she was a labor camp prisoner and an unfaithful wife. With the double BUFF, she was too embarrassed to speak.

"Well, my mother-in-law found a good family and is living a happy life there."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Yi Zhonghai had a lot of question marks in his head. Did Jia Zhang go to enjoy herself and ascend to heaven?

Jia Zhang, who was far away in Hujia Village, felt cold all over, as if a cold wind was blowing past her, and she shivered all over.

Hurry up and work. If you can't grind this half bag of corn flour before dark, you will be beaten again. Thinking of this, Jia Zhang's nose felt sore and tears were about to fall.

"My mother-in-law remarried."

"Gah, ah, cough, cough, cough..."

Yi Zhonghai was so shocked by the news that he choked on half a mouthful of food and it took him a long time to recover.

"What's going on? Where did Sister Jia remarry?"

Qin Huairu looked embarrassed, she didn't know this either.

Taking this opportunity, Qin Huairu told Yi Zhonghai all the major and minor events that had happened in the past six months, including He Lin's promotion, Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian's marriage, Sha Zhu's blind date, and Yan Jiecheng's job at the steel rolling mill.

Yi Zhonghai just felt his scalp tingling. He had only been away for more than half a year, and so many big things had happened. He felt a little out of touch.

Finally, Qin Huairu talked about the key point.

"Uncle, you don't want Shazhu to get married, do you?"
