Rebirth He Yuzhu I am a family man

People at that time had experienced the chaos of the Republic of China and the invasion of the Japanese... Many families did not have a stable income in the old society. In order to survive in that chaotic era, they could only sell and pawn everything they could. After entering the new society, they had not lived a stable and good life for a few years, so how much foundation could a family have?

Many families in the courtyard could only eat fine grains a few days. In many cases, in order to fill their stomachs, families with many children would exchange fine grains for coarse grains such as cornmeal and sweet potatoes even if they had them.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, everyone in the courtyard looked at each other, not knowing what to say. The scene didn't remain silent for long before someone who couldn't stand it anymore spoke up.

"Uncle Yi, look at my family. I work as a porter in a steel rolling mill. My son goes out to pick up coal cores or garbage every day. My daughter is so young, but she has to help with housework at home. Whenever my wife has free time, she will do some manual work - pasting paper boxes, matchboxes and so on. With our family's situation, cornmeal porridge is not enough for us to eat! Please tell me, what do you want my family to donate?" Zhao Xinggen, who lived in the east wing of the front yard, stood up upright and asked with his eyes wide open.

With Zhao Xinggen taking the lead, more people in the courtyard dared to speak out.

"Yes! What Zhao Xinggen said is absolutely right. We can barely eat fine grains a few times a year, so how can we donate? Besides, the Jia family is in such a difficult situation that they can't get through in a day or two. It's not easy for us to support our family..."

"What does this mean? Are we going to support the Jia family?"

"It's a new society now, and they still want to do this. Aren't they afraid that the 'Security Management Committee' will find out?"

"It sounds nice, but Jia Dongxu is Yi Zhonghai's apprentice..."

Yi Zhonghai listened to everyone's discussion and winked at Yan Bugui without changing his expression. Yan Bugui saw Yi Zhonghai winking at him and knew that the play they had discussed in advance was about to begin. He trembled and took out 1 yuan from his pocket. He cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, please be patient and listen to me..."

"I am an elementary school teacher. My monthly salary is only more than 20 yuan. My three sons are still young, and Yang Ruihua is pregnant. The salary I earn alone is enough to support a family of six. Although my family is in financial difficulty, I will start here and donate 3 yuan." Yan Bugui said, and threw the 6 yuan in his hand into the temporary donation box - an iron box.

"Wow, wow... Yan Bugui, you are such a black heart! I gave you 5 yuan, and we agreed that when everyone resisted, you would take the lead in donating 3 yuan, and you would keep 2 yuan for yourself. Yan Bugui, you are really good! However, as long as it succeeds this time, I will come to donate once a month in the future, and see what you will do next time..." Yi Zhonghai despised Yan Bugui in his heart, and he felt relieved when he fantasized about good things in the future.

Yan Bugui had taken the lead. Seeing that everyone was still indifferent, Yi Zhonghai stood up in a pretentious manner and said righteously: "Jia Dongxu is my apprentice. As the old saying goes, 'a disciple is half a son.' I feel sad when I see them suffering! I am donating 10 yuan here."

Yi Zhonghai said as he took out 10 yuan from his pocket and threw it directly into the temporary donation box. After he finished donating, he looked at Liu Haizhong. Liu Haizhong was such a fool that he had no idea that Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai were acting together.

Liu Haizhong's face flushed red, thinking to himself, "We are all mid-level workers, and we are all big shots in the courtyard. We want to suppress Yi Zhonghai." But then he thought, "My family has three sons who are like bottomless pits..." He immediately lost his confidence and sighed, "My three sons are old enough to eat, but as the leader of the courtyard, I must set a good example for everyone. I will donate 5 yuan here and 1 kilogram of rice."

"Xu Yaomei, bring our one pound of rice here. I'm donating it to the Jia family." Liu Haizhong turned around and shouted to the middle courtyard. After Liu Haizhong threw 5 yuan into the temporary donation box, he scanned everyone in the courtyard.

People who lived in the old society lived in a bad living environment. When they were in urgent need or their neighbors couldn't handle it, the neighbors would often lend a hand. Otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying "neighbors are as good as relatives". For example, Jia Zhang was able to raise Jia Dongxu safely in the courtyard with the door half open. The elders around them felt sorry for the orphans and widows and wanted to give them a meal.

You know, in the old society, there were many people who fled from war, refugees, and famines. It was not uncommon for people to be homeless and die of starvation and be exposed in the wilderness. On the other hand, Jia Zhang was able to eat well in such a difficult old society. It is conceivable how kind the neighbors around the courtyard were.

The three uncles in the courtyard took the lead. Those shy residents in the courtyard felt embarrassed when being stared at by the three uncles. Those who had rice at home went home and grabbed a few handfuls of rice; others directly took out several thousand yuan from their pockets and threw them into the temporary donation box.

Because of the herd mentality, some families who still had problems with food and clothing, originally secretly hoped that they could escape tonight, but when they saw that everyone had donated, they sighed and hung their heads and went home to get money or borrow rice. Without exception, they all donated something.

Seeing that the situation was set, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but feel proud. He happily cast his gaze unconcealedly at He Daqing who was squeezed in the crowd.

At this time, He Daqing, with an expressionless face, was staring at the ground in a daze, with his eyes looking at his nose and his nose looking at his heart. Seeing He Daqing like this, Yi Zhonghai felt more confident. The He Daqing he knew "was ruthless, but that was mainly towards outsiders. In most cases, He Daqing was very face-conscious." He was thinking of something good in his mind, so he started to think of controlling He Daqing.

"Daqing! You are the canteen director of the steel mill. Everyone sees you carrying a few boxes of vegetables home every day. There is always the aroma of meat and vegetables coming from your kitchen in the yard. Look at how well you raise He Yushui. He is as strong as a little wild boar..."

"Yi Zhonghai, just tell me what you mean! I don't steal or rob. If you don't have that ability, you have to admit it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" He Daqing had a blank expression and a cold face. He stared with a pair of dead fish eyes and said impatiently.

There were only so many people around the courtyard, and He Daqing had been hanging around in the surrounding streets for a long time. Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were in cahoots with each other and secretly registered He Yuzhu, so how could they hide it from him? He just thought, "We are all old neighbors, and I won't lose face unless it's absolutely necessary." Besides, his son also liked to go to Beidao, so he kept this matter in his heart and did not take any action.

"Daqing! He Yushui goes to school early in the morning, and there is nothing to do at your house. It's empty anyway. Why don't you let your wife Li Cuilan take care of Bang Geng and Qin Huairu at the same time?" Yi Zhonghai had everyone in the hospital in control tonight. He felt that He Daqing had to bow his head in front of him tonight, so he said confidently.

"Yi Zhonghai, if I'm not mistaken, you haven't told me the whole story! Hurry up and tell it. Don't speak so slowly like squeezing toothpaste, it's disgusting." He Daqing stared at him with dead eyes and urged impatiently.

Yi Zhonghai didn't hear He Daqing's objection, and mistakenly thought that He Daqing couldn't lower himself in front of the people in the compound and gave in, so he became more confident and said as a matter of course: "Daqing! Give one of the lunch boxes you bring back every day to the Jia family in the future! Your He Yushui is too fat, and one less lunch box won't be a big problem for the He family. Qin Huairu will recover faster with nutrition. When Qin Huairu recovers, we in the compound don't have to continue to help the Jia family."

"Also, you are the canteen director, your salary is not low. You see, we all donated fine grains and money, you see..."

The smarter people in the courtyard couldn't help but gasp after hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, thinking "Yi Zhonghai really takes himself very seriously. He's not just the master of the courtyard, he's simply the ancestor of the He family. He arranges the people, money, and property of the He family very clearly." As Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, everyone in the courtyard had their own thoughts, and the scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were on He Daqing.

"Yi Zhonghai, you've said so much, and it would be inappropriate for me not to say a few words, isn't it?" He Daqing asked jokingly.

"Qing Dynasty! Just go ahead and say it, everyone is waiting for you to express your opinion!" Yi Zhonghai threatened with malicious words.

He Daqing walked to the Eight Immortals Table, stared at everyone with expressionless eyes, and said calmly: "Everyone should know: Bai Dongmei married into the old Yi family with two sons and one daughter. Now look: the youngest daughter died inexplicably, and the two sons became disabled. Look at Li Cuilan, since she entered the old He family, she no longer looks sickly..."

"If you ask me, some people can't even take care of their own family, but they still want to point fingers at other people's families. Why do they become extinct? Such a vicious person who can play such a trick on a 15-16-year-old child, even the emperor can't stand it..."

Qin Huairu saw He Daqing attacking Yi Zhonghai while holding a stick. She looked at Yi Zhonghai's dark face and was so angry that he was about to smoke. She felt that "it was time for me to show off in front of Yi Zhonghai."

Suddenly, Qin Huairu knelt in front of He Daqing holding the stick, and cried aggrievedly: "Uncle He, please be kind and don't make things difficult for Uncle Yi! Blame me, it's all my fault, I'm incompetent..."

Qin Huairu was a junior in front of He Daqing after all. He Daqing didn't even look at her. He turned his head and looked at Jia Zhangshi, saying in a neutral tone: "Jia Zhangshi, I originally thought you were a strong woman who raised Jia Dongxu alone. When your Jia family was really in trouble, the elders in our courtyard did a lot of work! Your daughter-in-law has been married into the Jia family for a long time. The elders are speaking here, what does she mean by suddenly coming out to blackmail you morally?"

Jia Zhang was not stupid. He Daqing's implication was that she was half-open and had no manners. She walked towards Qin Huairu with a rage in her heart, raised her hand and slapped her several times, cursing, "You are such a disgrace. The Jia family is unlucky to marry you."

Just when people in the courtyard were surprised that Jia Zhang was beating her daughter-in-law over a disagreement, Jia Zhang stood up, rushed to the eight-immortal table where several old men were sitting, picked up the donation box, picked up the grain bag and walked towards the central courtyard.

When He Daqing saw Jia Zhang ran away, he turned to look at Jia Dongxu and said earnestly, "Dongxu! You have been working in the steel mill for several years! Your salary should be around 20 yuan now. An adult in the city only spends about 5 yuan a month. You are married now, and as a man you have the responsibility to support your family. Don't go out and mess around anymore. If it's really difficult, quit smoking and drinking!"

"Also, I want to ask you, the benefits of the steel mill are so good, why don't you let your wife give birth in the factory clinic? Your family is in such a mess, it's hard to understand!"

"Your child is weak, and your wife is not in good health either. Why don't you go to the hospital for treatment? Why do you want to embarrass us in this courtyard? What kind of thing is this..."
