Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Chapter 14: Playing Tai Chi

Jiang Feng knew that they were going to take action, but he didn't know what it was. After thinking about it, he decided to show some power to the uncles first, "Uncle, it depends on what it is. After all, my uncle is not here now, and Brother Zhuzi must be the head of the family. Can't we wait until he comes back to discuss it?"

"Besides, now that my uncle is gone, it's just your uncle's one-sided statement. The actual situation has to wait for us relatives to confirm it. The election in the courtyard is everyone's business, so I won't say anything. But for our family, if my uncle is really gone, then Brother Zhuzi will be the head of the He family. Since you said it involves the He family, you should listen to the opinions of the He family. What do you think, uncle?"

Yi Zhonghai's face turned red and white after hearing this. For people like this who like to be the elder, the most important thing is face. This is the first time he has been contradicted in a meeting.

At this time, Liu Haizhong was unhappy. He had just become the second uncle and had not spoken yet. He just wanted to show off his authority. He stood up and said, "Jiang Feng, what we are talking about now is the He family's affairs. We in the factory have already confirmed that He Daqing has resigned. Why do we need you kids to confirm it? We, the uncles, are holding a meeting to help Sha Zhu's family. You, an outsider, should not say anything."

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fugui exchanged a glance and thought, "This old Liu is quite quick-witted. He is beating and hitting, and he even claims to be doing good for you." Because this matter involved the Yan family, Yan Fugui did not speak. Yi Zhonghai followed suit and said, "Yes, Daqing is gone, and Zhuzi doesn't have a formal job. What will happen to him and Yushui in the future? We, the uncles, will still need to help look after them in the courtyard."

Jiang Feng heard Liu Haizhong's slogan of "for your own good" and Yi Zhonghai's threat. He felt that they were still a bit smart, unlike the brainless and arrogant people in Tomato's novels. They implied that Jiang Feng was not a member of the He family. So he said, "Second Uncle, First Uncle, you are all right, but no matter what decision you make, you should always seek the opinions of the parties involved. Besides, Brother Zhuzi is also at work, and there is a master above. You can't just let Yu Shui and I starve to death at home. Let's wait until Brother Zhuzi comes back before we talk about it."

Jiang Feng thought: "I just won't take the challenge, let's see what you can do?"

Several old men looked at each other. They usually didn't think Jiang Feng was so difficult to deal with, but today they wouldn't be able to continue the business if they couldn't deal with him.

Yi Zhonghai said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Jiang Feng, this is the He family's business, it has nothing to do with you. You are just staying at the He family temporarily. In this courtyard, you must obey the unified decision of the courtyard. Don't make trouble here."

Jiang Feng got angry when he heard this: "Uncle, you are the uncle elected by the people in the courtyard. Do you want to ride on the heads of the people and shit and piss? I am here to stay. I am staying at my uncle and aunt's house. What does it have to do with you? Don't think that my uncle is gone and there are only a few children left at home, so you can be bullied."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice from outside the yard: "Xiao Feng, whoever bullies you, I will beat the shit out of him."

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned red. He turned around and looked at the front yard. He saw He Yuzhu walking in with a lunch box. Yi Zhonghai shouted, "Silly Zhu, if you want to mess with me, I'm your uncle."

Sha Zhu took one look and grinned: "Who am I thinking? Aren't you the second uncle? When did you become the first uncle?"

Jiang Feng saw that Sha Zhu didn't know about He Daqing's departure. Jiang Feng knew but couldn't tell anyone because the news hadn't even been sent out of the gate. Was there any confirmation? He could only wait for notification from the hospital, but no one came to his house to tell him.

Yi Zhonghai said, "Silly Zhu, you may not know this yet, but your father ran away with someone, and you and your sister are the only ones left at home."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he was struck by lightning and his mind went blank. "Impossible, why would he run away for no reason?" he muttered to himself.

Sha Zhu looked up suddenly: "Xiao Feng, you are at home every day, you should know." Jiang Feng said: "I don't know either. My uncle went out this morning and hasn't come back yet. The uncles said it in a meeting, but I didn't believe it. I kept saying that we can talk about it when you come back, but the uncles didn't agree."

Sha Zhu said, "Impossible, I'm going to go find my dad. Yes, go to the unit and ask, it's impossible for him to abandon me and Yu Shui." Yi Zhonghai stood aside and watched coldly. Seeing Sha Zhu's look, he thought it was not easy to bring up the matter of the house. He still didn't believe that He Daqing was gone, so how could he borrow the house? So he lowered his head and said a few words to Yan Fugui. Yan Fugui's face changed, and he responded reluctantly, knowing that the conversation could not continue.

At this time, Yan Fugui hated Jiang Feng. If he hadn't been obstructing, the meeting in the hospital would have passed and it would have been a foregone conclusion.

When Jiang Feng saw Sha Zhu like this, he said, "Gentlemen, I don't think there is much to say to Brother Zhuzi in this state. If you have anything to say, wait until I confirm my uncle's condition with Brother Zhuzi." Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui looked at each other with gloomy faces, and several of them stood up. "Let's leave it at that for now, everyone adjourn the meeting." Yi Zhonghai said.

The people in the yard were watching the fun. Seeing Jiang Feng interacting with the old men, they were wondering why they had never noticed that Jiang Feng was so talkative before. When He Daqing was around, no one dared to talk to the old men like that.

Hearing the eldest uncle say that the meeting was adjourned, they started talking about Jiang Feng in groups of three or four and went to their homes. The three uncles looked at each other, and told Liu Guangqi to take Yan Jiecheng back to put the tables and chairs away, and then they went towards the eldest uncle's house.

Jiang Feng pulled He Yuzhu into the house. He Yuzhu was still in a daze. He called him a few times but there was no response. Jiang Feng took a look and quickly took a sip of cold water. With a "puff", He Yuzhu shuddered and finally came to his senses. He grabbed Jiang Feng's arm and said, "Is what they said true? Dad didn't come home all day." Jiang Feng nodded and pressed He Yuzhu to sit down. "Brother Zhuzi, please sit down first. Uncle didn't come home today, but I don't know if it's what they said. Why don't you check at home to see if your uncle has left anything for you? If your uncle is gone, he will definitely tell us."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he rushed into the inner room and started searching in the room. Although Jiang Feng knew that the story was true, he still asked He Yuzhu to follow the plot, otherwise his explanation would not make sense.

Under his pillow, He Yuzhu found a letter, opened it and saw that it was left by He Daqing. The general meaning of the letter was: "Zhuzi, you are so old now, and I have found my own happiness now. It is up to you to take charge of this family. Xiaofeng can take care of Yu Shui at home, and you can go to work without worry. I have also left some money for you, and you have to take good care of your younger brothers and sisters at home. I also told you not to look for me." After reading the letter, He Yuzhu picked up the envelope and shook it. A few banknotes fell out of the envelope. He picked them up and counted them. There were a total of two million.

The more He Yuzhu thought about it, the angrier he got. Why did he just leave without saying a word? Jiang Feng looked at He Yuzhu with a hint of pity in his eyes. This was the path he wanted to take. Even if He Daqing didn't leave now, he would end up like this sooner or later.

Jiang Feng said, "Brother Zhuzi, did you leave an address in the letter?" He Yuzhu said weakly, "No, he told me to take care of the family and not to look for him." He Yuzhu held his head with both hands and choked up, "What should I do? What should I say when Yushui wakes up tomorrow?"

Jiang Feng thought for a moment and said, "Brother Zhuzi, do you want to go find him?" He Yuzhu didn't say anything, so Jiang Feng continued, "If you want to find him, you can. You can find him. Go to the restaurant tomorrow morning and ask for leave from Master. When you come back, we'll go to the factory and the military control office together. You must have a letter of introduction when you go out. It has the destination on it."

"Can you really find it?" He Yuzhu said fiercely, "I don't care. I'm so old now and have a job. I just want to ask him why he is so cruel. The rain is so small, how can he bear to abandon it?"

Jiang Feng said: "We can find him. As long as he is in the city and looking for a job, we will definitely find him." He Yuzhu wiped his tears and said: "Okay, we will go and ask tomorrow."

After they washed up, they went to bed. Jiang Feng heard someone tossing and turning under the bed, so he called out, "Brother Zhuzi, you still have to run around tomorrow. You have to sleep even if you can't. Don't think too much."

After that, He Yuzhu stopped rolling around, and they slept until dawn. After they got up, Jiang Feng said, "I'll prepare breakfast. You take the letter and go to the restaurant to ask for leave. We'll go to the factory when you come back."

He Yuzhu washed his face, picked up the letter, put on his backpack, and walked out. When he reached the middle door, he heard someone calling "Silly Zhu."

Looking back, Yi Zhonghai was standing in the corridor, so he walked over and said, "Second uncle, what's the matter?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't care about calling him Shazhu, and asked in a hypocritical manner: "Shazhu, where are you going so early? Have you eaten?"

"Not yet. I'm going to ask for leave from the store. When I come back, I'll go to the factory and ask if they know where my dad is."

After listening to this, Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and said, "No need to ask. I know. Your father came to see me the night before yesterday. He and the White Widow went to protect the city. When he left, he asked me to help take care of you and Yu Shui."

He Yuzhu heard it and said, "Why didn't you say anything last night? It doesn't matter what happened to me. The rain was so light, how could he have the heart to do that?"

"Hey, I tried to persuade him, but he was obsessed with the White Widow and insisted on leaving. I couldn't do anything about it. Don't worry, if you have any problems, come to me. Your aunt and I will help you."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu didn't know what to do, but he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He hummed and rushed out of the yard. He still wanted to find He Daqing to ask for clarification.

Yi Zhonghai stretched out his hand from behind but didn't hold him. He thought for a moment and said, "Let him go find it. We'll know when he gets a bloody head."
