Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Time is like a galloping horse, and two years have passed in a flash. A lot of things have happened in the courtyard. Xu Erni has taken over the job in the steel mill and has become a first-class fitter under Yi Zhonghai. Many workers in the steel mill are not clear about it. In the courtyard, Chen Er has taken over the job of the original owner Sha Zhu and has become Xu Erni's licker.

Children of the same age as Bang Geng'er and He Qingmei have already gone to school, and He Yushui was admitted to university a year ago. For this, He Yuzhu held a big banquet in the courtyard, which was really lively. Jia Zhang's old face was naturally embarrassed, and she cursed for a long time, thinking that what was the point of a money-losing person going to university?

However, he was severely beaten by He Yuzhu, so that for a while, Jia Zhangshi was like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw He Yuzhu. The Jia family today is not as comfortable as the Jia family in the original novel. Without Shazhu, the big blood bag, it can be said that life is so difficult.

"Hey, Old Jia, Dongxu. Please come up and take a look at this old woman like me. These bastards in the courtyard are bullying us to death. People in our family are almost starving to death. Why don't you come to help, your master? Please come up and take this old bastard Yi Zhonghai away." The people in the courtyard had just got off work when they saw this good show.

He Qingmei looked at Jia Zhang's call for the soul, and said with a smile, "Oh, Jia's grandmother, are you calling for the soul again?" Jia Zhang looked at He Qingmei with a dark face, and she was so angry. She gritted her teeth and scolded He Qingmei, "You little girl, get out of here."

He Qingmei was not angry either. He was already seven years old and knew the character of the old woman from the Jia family. His father had taught him a lot about this, so he was not afraid of what the old woman would do to him. If he was bullied by the old woman, wouldn't it be okay for him to ask his father to help him?

Yi Zhonghai had more white hair in recent years. Seeing Jia Zhang crying in the yard again, he felt depressed. In recent years, the Jia family was like leeches, sucking blood from his body, which really made him feel painful and happy. Every midnight, Xu Erni met him in the cellar, and she was so comfortable serving him.

Although she had to pay twenty or thirty yuan every month, she felt very happy. Xu Erni, a widow, was very good at serving men, even better than the women in the Eight Great Hutongs. She also sided with the Jia family in the Siheyuan over the years, which made some people in the Siheyuan really unbearable.

But Yi Zhonghai was very clear-headed and didn't want to offend people he couldn't afford to offend. Just like Xu Damao and He Yuzhu's families, he couldn't afford to offend them at all. When she saw Yi Zhonghai coming in, Jia Zhang cried out, "Old Yi, you have to help our Jia family. Our Dongxu was your apprentice before, and Old Jia was also a good friend of yours. Our family is almost broke."

Bai Xiuying's face was so dark. How could she not know about her man's philandering over the years? She had also seen him meet Xu Erni several times in the middle of the night. But what could she say? The situation was getting worse and worse, so she could only turn a blind eye.

Bai Xiuying had thought about divorce, but what could she do after the divorce? There were not many jobs now, how could an old woman like him support herself? If she wanted to blame someone, she should blame her bad luck. She didn't leave Yi Zhonghai with a child. She felt very guilty, let alone now.

Yi Zhonghai looked unhappy and said with a dark face, "Sister-in-law, didn't I give you ten kilograms of corn flour a few days ago? How come you have eaten it all again?" Jia Zhang's old face turned red. The day before yesterday, Yi Zhonghai added ten kilograms of corn flour to their food. Jia Zhang couldn't help it and ate most of it herself.

While wiping her tears, Jia Zhang said, "Old Yi, you know that the little brat is eating me to death. My son has a big appetite, so these ten kilograms of corn flour are nothing!" Yi Zhonghai's face was so dark. Is he a fool? I don't know what kind of person Jia Zhang is?

But it was not a good idea to tear each other apart right now, so he could only say, "Okay, let's hold a meeting of the whole hospital tonight and let everyone help your family." A lot of things happened in the past two years. Director Wang Chunhua of the street office died heroically in an unexpected operation. The new director is named Sun Jianjun, and his relationship with old lady Long is a bit subtle.

He would come to Old Lady Long's house every now and then to sit for a while, which made the residents in the courtyard dare not resist. Most people were also afraid of Yi Zhonghai, but of course there were a few who were not afraid of him, such as He Yuzhu and Xu Damao.

Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to offend them, so he picked someone who was easier to bully. The other neighbors in the courtyard had no choice, because they were incompetent. They could only swallow their loss and support Yi Zhonghai's decisions.

As soon as He Yuzhu and his wife returned to the courtyard, they learned that another general meeting would be held tonight. After Xu Damao learned about this situation, he came to He Yuzhu's house to discuss countermeasures. He Yuzhu was also very helpless. Now his temper has improved a lot, and he is not willing to confront Yi Zhonghai face to face.

He had many concerns, and he was worried about his daughter and wife. If he didn't have these concerns, he would be fine to have a few arguments with Yi Zhonghai, the bastard. But the situation outside has become more and more turbulent in recent years, and sometimes he feels a little restrained.

He Yuzhu thought for a while and said, "Anyway, it will be enough for the two of us to donate one or two kilograms. The new Director Sun has a good relationship with Old Lady Long. There is no need to offend Director Sun for such a small matter."

Xu Damao said while smoking, "Zhu Zi, we have known each other for so many years, and I feel that your temper has improved a lot now. If this happened a few years ago, you would definitely ruin Yi Zhonghai's good deeds."

He Yuzhu sighed and said, "Be patient for a while and everything will be fine. There's no need to go to extremes. That old man has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. There are many things in our lives that require the help of the Street Office. That old bastard Yi Zhonghai has a very good relationship with Old Lady Long. If he really fights against Old Lady Long, he will definitely drag Sun Jianjun into it."

There is no need to offend this director, as long as everyone can get along well. Do our two families need those few pounds of corn flour? We don't. What should we do if that old bastard Yi Zhonghai gets the chance to retaliate against our families? You said I was timid, but I admit it. There is really no other way. I have a daughter and a wife now, so there is no need to do anything extreme.
