Siheyuan: Breaking up with Shazhu at the beginning

"Huh?" Yang Jun jumped up suddenly and shook off the cigarette that was about to go out between his fingers. He almost burned himself because of his distraction just now.

"This is all your own fault. Who told you to be distracted?" Ding Qiunan muttered, dissatisfied with his inattention.

Yang Jun was speechless, and turned around to explain to Yi Qiushui: "I have to go to my old house. If I can't get back before get off work, you and Qiunan will go together."

"Okay, I understand." Yi Qiu Shui, who was eating donkey meat BBQ, responded vaguely, his mouth full of deliciousness.

Then, Yang Jun left the infirmary and headed towards the direction of the First Canteen. There were only a few days left before Yang Liu and He Yushui joined the army, and in order to celebrate, he had asked Chun Zhu to plan the celebration earlier, and now he went to confirm the progress.

Before he even got close to the cafeteria, Yang Jun saw Chun Zhu coming from afar. This guy had returned to his slovenly look. Now that he had a wife and children, he thought dressing up was no longer necessary and even stopped taking care of his messy hair.

Holding a net bag in his hand, filled with three aluminum lunch boxes, the lunch boxes were bulging, and occasionally a few drops of oil could be seen dripping out. Chunzhu walked with his head down.

"Hey!" Seeing him like this, Yang Jun shouted.

Chunzhu was startled by the sudden call and took a step back involuntarily, looking at Yang Jun with a blank look.

"I was looking for you. What do you have in your hand? Let me check it."

In a situation like Chunzhu's, the lightest offense is taking away food scraps from the cafeteria without permission, and the most serious offense is stealing public property. Since Wang Erwa became the security captain, he has been very strict with this kind of behavior, and anyone who shows any strange signs will be interrogated.

I don't know how this idiot managed to get away with it so many times, and now he even left work early and walked out of the factory gate in a dignified manner, thinking that the security guards were so short-sighted that they could not be seen without a trace? It would be weird if there were really no flaws.

Yang Jun secretly suspected that something was fishy.

"Oh, it's Junzi. I almost didn't recognize you. I was so scared." When he saw it was him, a smile quickly appeared on Chunzhu's face.

"What are you doing? Why are you hiding the food?" Yang Jun asked dissatisfiedly, interrupting his opening remarks.

The stupid pillar raised his eyebrows and refuted: "Foxes have their own ways, and lobsters have their own ways. You are the leader, and if you hear too much, it will confuse me. It's better not to let me explain in detail."

He knew that Yang Jun was aware of his actions, but he would never tell him the specific method of how to get him out.

Yang Jun looked at the greasy lunch box. His nose twitched and he said, "Braised pork, fried eggplant, what's the other one?" "What else could it be? It's just pig ears." Sha Zhu answered without thinking.

"Why does it look so familiar to me?" Yang Jun looked confused.

Sha Zhu chuckled and said, "Hey, you didn't have a good meal at noon, would you consider packing it up for me? Do you know how to save money?" His tone was full of accusation.

Yang Jun looked at him helplessly, rolled his eyes and said, "Who do I usually eat with? That guy didn't get to eat?" Sha Zhu frowned, "Hey, what's wrong with that guy? It seems like his hands are useless. He keeps fighting with Mantou."

Hearing this, Yang Jun smiled and did not explain. Guo Tianming must have blisters on his hands now, unable to pick up food, and could only eat steamed buns, which made Sha Zhu unexpectedly taste all the benefits of the three dishes.

Looking at Sha Zhu, Yang Jun half-squinted his eyes and asked, "Are you planning to go home?"

"What are the leaders who didn't invite dinner tonight doing sitting here?" Sha Zhu looked around to make sure there was no one around, then asked quietly, "Deputy Director Li said there would be a celebration dinner tonight, but how come he was taken away in the blink of an eye? Junzi, tell me the truth, what's going on?"

Yang Jun's expression froze, and he said sternly, "Don't blame me for not warning you in advance. Stop asking about other people's private affairs and don't gossip. These upper-level leaders' affairs are not something you can interfere with."

Sha Zhu tried to smooth things over with a smile: "I know, I know, just treat it as a loud fart." But Yang Jun didn't appreciate it: "Even if it was a fart, it ruined the atmosphere."

Sha Zhu laughed and made a blowing gesture: "Everything will be blown away by the wind!" Despite this, seeing Yang Jun's serious face, he reminded again: "Don't talk too much, remember Qiu Ye is pregnant now, don't cause trouble and come back to find us."

Sha Zhu recalled his last experience in the security department, and shuddered in his heart. He quickly expressed his feelings: "Okay, Junzi, I know I was wrong. I have been much more honest since I joined the security department."

After making sure that there was no one around, Sha Zhu whispered, "Also, Junzi, did you know? Your sister's aunt was also taken away by them today. You have to be more careful and don't let it affect our family members." He mentioned this in a roundabout way, actually wanting to let Yang know.

This sentence startled Yang Jun: "Liu Lan... was taken away? Who took her away, someone from the steel plant? Or someone from Wang Rongyao?"

Yang Jun understood instantly: Wang Rongyao must have done it. Because he had asked Wang Erwa not to care about Liu Lan's affairs, so Wang Erwa didn't say anything.

As Li Huaide's mistress, Liu Lan had always had a tense relationship with her lover, so it was normal for her to be considered a suspicious object, and arresting her was a natural thing to do.

"Brother Zhuzi, I came to you to ask about the preparations for the banquet." In order to avoid discussing Liu Lan's affairs, Yang Jun took the initiative to change the subject.

"Everything has been prepared. They will go to a place first, and we will hold a celebration banquet and farewell ceremony on the day of departure, which will take two days to complete." Sha Zhu counted on his fingers.

The following chapters have not been completed yet. Sha Zhu has arranged to hold a banquet in the next two days, and the exact date is the day after tomorrow.

"Well, it's settled. I'll rely on you when the time comes, Brother Zhuzi." Yang Jun said, no longer mentioning Liu Lan, and motioned for Sha Zhu to follow him.

"Are you still being polite to me? We said we came together a long time ago, how could you forget?" Sha Zhu responded with a smile to the question of hitchhiking. The deeper meaning was that Sha Zhu wanted to use this opportunity to get out. Because it was convenient for Yang to enter and exit the factory area, and there was no need for routine inspection. After leaving the factory area, Sha Zhu suddenly asked to stop the car, but he did not directly explain the reason.

"Zhu Zi, wait a minute." Ben Zhu hurriedly jumped out of the car, said hello quickly and ran towards the backyard wall.

About two minutes later, Yang Jun saw Sha Zhu and Ran Qiuye walking towards him from afar. When he saw Ran Qiuye, Yang Jun immediately understood.

This is the method Sha Zhu said, to arrange for Ran Qiuye to wait by the outer courtyard wall in advance, and wait for him to come out through the front door after finishing his meal, and then the two of them would go back together. Originally in the play, Ran Qiuye was a noble person who didn't care about leftovers. Unexpectedly, in this world, she actually put down her status and acted in tacit understanding with Sha Zhu to secretly take away the lunch box.

Could it be that she was influenced by the fool Zhu and became a bad person?

"Brother Zhuzi, are you going home?" Ran Qiuye greeted Yang Jun shyly when she saw him.

"Well, I have something to go home for. Auntie, don't worry." Yang Jun did not expose their little trick. Everyone was decent and there was no need to open up scars.

The three of them then returned to the compound together.

After getting off the car, Yang Jun went straight to the backyard.

There, he met an old friend.

Ran Qiuye's father was sitting by the pond processing live fish. "Professor Ran, why are you here?" Yang Jun stopped and greeted him.

"Director Yang, hello." Ran's father quickly put down his work and wiped his hands with a handkerchief. He wanted to shake hands to show respect, but felt it was inappropriate, so he took it back. "Qiuye is pregnant, and Zhuzi is careless. I have discussed with her mother and moved here to take care of her."

After saying that, Father Ran pointed at the deaf-mute grandmother's house embarrassedly.

Hearing this, Yang Jun suddenly realized.

In the social custom of face, they expressed themselves so tactfully to maintain each other's dignity. Moreover, Yang Jun's help to them was not suitable for public disclosure, so moving in to take care of their daughter became a natural reason.

However, what Yang Jun didn't expect was that it was the deaf-mute grandmother who changed her residence. To be precise, it was not a change of house, but the Ran family rented one of her rooms.

Maybe they were reluctant to give up the small villa, or grandma was unwilling to leave her comfortable living place, so they gave up a larger room to the Ran family.

I have to admit that Shazhu is indeed a good grandson of the deaf-mute grandmother. If it were someone else, I don't think they would have the courage and action.

If it weren't for Lou Xiao'e, Sha Zhu might really have no descendants. Sha Zhu turned to the deaf-mute grandmother for help because of the Ran family's affairs, so naturally she couldn't just stand by and watch, and she lent the house to Ran's father without hesitation.

"It's a good match for my daughter and son-in-law this way. Everyone can help each other." Yang Jun said.

After chatting for a while, Yang Jun entered the house.

Back in the house, Wang Yuying looked at him and asked directly, "Did you help Benzhu's father-in-law out from behind?"

"Yes, why do you suddenly ask this?" Yang Jun was puzzled.

Wang Yuying rolled her eyes and continued to fiddle with the matchbox in her hand, "Don't come here again. You helped the Ran family settle the matter, and now it has become a rumor in the courtyard. Others will come to bother you when they know about it. Will you help me then or not?" Her eyes revealed seriousness.

Yang Jun immediately understood that it was the big-mouthed Sha Zhu who was spreading the news everywhere. Although he was unhappy, it was a good thing for him. He did this to establish his prestige:

His purpose was simple - he wanted everyone to know that he was able and willing to protect the people in the yard.

If Yang Jun can handle a matter properly, he can also make a mess of it.

Just like what happened to the Ran family, it was a warning, reminding other people in the yard not to have any bad intentions towards the Yang family.

He can save a family or destroy it in an instant.

"Mom, you know that Shazhu is simple-minded. You don't need to bother with him about these things."

"I'm not forbidding you to help Shazhu, but I'm telling you that if you can avoid going home, it's best not to go back, so as to avoid being troubled by the mess at home."

"Mom, I have my own plans. You see, when I'm not at home, if there are any troubles at home, Shazhu can help to deal with them. You can just treat me as having another son."

He thought to himself that since he treated Sha Zhu like this, one day Sha Zhu would learn to repay his kindness.

Once something unexpected happens at home, Sha Zhu will definitely not stand idly by and will definitely be of use at the critical moment.

With the presence of Sha Zhu, Yang Jun felt more confident.

"Hmph! I don't have such a stupid son." Wang Yuying rolled her eyes in disdain.

"Haha, at a critical moment, a silly boy can be of great use."

He tried to pick up the matchbox and wanted to help Wang Yuying to make a few matchsticks for paper money, but her hand slapped them away.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the courtyard, as if someone was arguing.

Yang Jun frowned and muttered to himself: This slum is so annoying, with endless quarrels over trivial matters every day.

If Wang Yuying is willing, he would rather the whole family move in with him.

"What's going on again?"

"Who else could it be?" Wang Yuying's expression turned serious and she said, "It's Jia Zhang who is playing tricks again. I don't know which family is going to be unlucky again."

When mentioning Jia Zhang, Yang Jun's blood pressure instantly soared.

In just a few days, Jia Zhang started to stir up trouble again.

Recently, he has been busy with factory affairs and has not had time to ask Aunt Wang about the situation of Jia Zhang.

This time when I saw Jia Zhang returning, I felt something was wrong. With her fat body, no one would believe her if she said she was seriously ill.

But she was smart enough and never mentioned any other pain. She insisted it was a headache. The cause could not be determined based on current medical knowledge.

He secretly agreed to find some time in the near future to ask Aunt Wang what illness Jia Zhang had.

"In the past two days, she has extorted seven or eight families. Every time, she would deliberately lie down at the door of someone's house, and then say that they pushed her, and she would not get up until they paid for her medical expenses."

Wang Yuying sighed deeply and said with a worried look on her face.

"She didn't come to see us, right?" Yang Jun asked with concern.

Wang Yuying shook her head and said, "Not yet, but I'm afraid it will be here soon."

"Why do you say that?" Yang Jun was surprised when he heard this.

"Jia Zhang is knocking on every door now, starting with the courtyard. I guess it will be the backyard's turn soon."

Hearing this, Yang Jun immediately became furious.

This kind of extortion at someone's door is like a beggar begging for food, and he will never give up until he gets what he wants?

Jia Zhang's behavior made Yang Jun quite angry.

"The second and third uncles don't care?"

"Manage? How can we manage it?" Wang Yuying frowned and asked, "Ms. Jia Zhang said every day that she had a brain tumor and would not live long. Now she is looking for the inheritance."

"Brain tumor? How is that possible?" Yang Jun couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. With such appearance, he didn't look like a brain tumor patient at all.

It is unknown how Jia Zhang managed to get away with it and obtain the right to seek medical treatment outside. Yang Jun decided to go to Aunt Wang tomorrow to find out the whole story.

At this time, people in the yard were returning from get off work.

Yang Mei, Yi Qiu Shui and Ding Qiu Nan arrived home one after another.

Ding Qiunan didn't go home directly, but ran straight into the backyard.

"I was so scared. I thought Jia Zhang was going to trick me again. Luckily I ran away quickly." Ding Qiunan shouted as soon as they met.

"Why are you scared by her? Did she ever blackmail you?" Yang Jun asked puzzledly.

Ding Qiunan snorted and responded to Yang Jun's question.
