Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

He Yuzhu and Jiang Feng split up and acted separately. When He Yuzhu returned to the yard, he saw several aunties and grandmas chatting in the yard. When they saw He Yuzhu coming back, the aunties stopped talking. Only one auntie, who was white and fat, short, with a pair of triangular eyes and thin lips, kept chattering, saying that He Daqing was bewitched by a vixen and abandoned his children at home. She looked at Silly Zhu and said that Yu Shui was a money-loser and that the He family was going to be extinct and they wouldn't even be able to get a wife in the future.

At this time, an old lady next to her pulled Jia Zhang and said, "Stop talking, Shazhu is back." Jia Zhang paused, and said, "So what if he's back, am I wrong? You just watch, the He family is in trouble, there are only two children left, how can they keep this family business." As she spoke, a greedy light flashed in her eyes.

He Yuzhu was so angry that he went up to Jia Zhang and started arguing with her: "Aunt Jia, my father is gone, and it's not your turn to speak ill of me. You don't even shy away from others when you say bad things about them."

At this time, what Jia Zhang was thinking was that the old He family was in trouble. We live so close, so we should ask Dongxu to visit his house more often and see if there is anything that our Jia family should keep for him. As an older brother, it is natural for Dongxu to take care of his younger brother. Since our Jia family has helped Shazhu so much, Shazhu should give the main house to his brother Dongxu, so that he will have a place to live when he gets married.

When Jia Zhang thought of this, her face changed and she said to He Yuzhu, "Silly Zhu, look at you, why are you so angry? It was your aunt who said the wrong thing. Your father is gone and I am worried about you too. When Dongxu gets off work in the evening, I will ask Dongxu to go to your house to see you. Just ask if you need any help."

Before Sha Zhu could speak, Jia Zhang continued, "You don't have any adults at home now. For the sake of being neighbors, if you need to do some housework at home, just ask Aunt Jia. Look how much Aunt Jia has helped you. Your brother Dongxu is getting older and is about to get married. There won't be much room for the two of you. Why don't you and Yushui move to the side room and give the main room to your brother Dongxu. It will be nice to have a big house when you get married."

Several aunties around and He Yuzhu were stunned. It sounded like a normal person talking at first, but then the tone suddenly changed. It was really rare to ask for a house right away. The three aunties in the front yard got anxious when they heard it. My old Yan family hadn't thought about it yet, so they quickly said, "Silly Zhu, don't listen to her. I will help you with your family affairs in the future. I don't want the main house, I can just borrow your side room for Jie Cheng to live in."

At this time, several aunts gathered around, chattering non-stop. He Yushui was so scared when she saw this that she started crying. He Yuzhu was already very angry, and he felt dizzy after hearing what he heard. When he heard He Yushui crying, he shouted, "Stop talking. I can handle my family's affairs myself. You don't need to." After that, he took Yushui back to the house, and patiently coaxed her for a while. Finally, Yushui stopped crying.

When the aunties in the courtyard saw that the owner had left, Jia Zhang was unhappy and started to scold the third aunties: "Third auntie, it was you guys who made trouble. Shazhu's house was given to my Dongxu. As a neighbor, I helped the He family because I think highly of him. Besides, the house is so close to my house, so it must be lent to my family first. What are you doing in the front yard, running to the middle yard?"

"Ms. Jia Zhang, do you have any shame? You come here and start to use the fact that the master of the family has left as an excuse. You asked for a small favor, but before you did anything, you set your sights on the main house. Everyone in your Jia family knows that you have never returned the things you borrowed."

Several aunts followed the third aunt and started arguing with the necromancer Jia Zhang. Jia Zhang singled out several families for faults and scolded them until they blushed. She said things like "Old Yan in your family is sour and stingy, he eats pickled vegetables by the roots, your family Wang has only one money-loser, why do you need a house, you are useless if you can't give birth to a son, Old Liu can't even clean up his own family, he beats his son every day, your family is the most lively in the whole compound, etc."

Some people will definitely think after reading this: your Jia family is not a good family either. There are a lot of troubles in the family, why no one criticizes them? Those who are familiar with the plot basically know that Jia Zhang is illiterate, not to mention she knows the law. In the play, she says "stealing" is "taking", and she never returns the borrowed money or things. She says that she wants to save the face of the Jia family, but she indulges her daughter-in-law in having affairs with men outside in exchange for food. Jia Zhang is the sober person in the world. As long as I can eat, drink and live well, I don't care what others say. What's the point of face?

It's useless to scold such a shameless person who is just trying to take advantage of others. Several aunts gave up and picked up their chairs and went back to their rooms, saying "Pah" to Jia Zhang before leaving.

Jia Zhang won a great victory and stood in the courtyard triumphantly. "You dare to fight with me? I, Jia Zhang, have no rivals in the courtyard." When she turned around, she saw that everyone had left. She stared at He Yuzhu's house for a while, rolled her triangular eyes, picked up a chair and went home.

At this time, Jiang Feng had already arrived at the train station. He showed his letter of introduction at the ticket window and bought three train tickets. At this time, there were relatively few people traveling through the train station, mainly on business trips. Ordinary people had to get a letter of introduction before they could buy tickets when traveling far away. Relatives who lived far away basically only visited once every few years.

Jiang Feng bought the ticket and walked out of the train station. Huang Ming had already gone to work on patrol. Jiang Feng followed the route Huang Ming told him and walked home by himself. The boy did not feel tired and walked all the way back to the courtyard without stopping. It was estimated that it took him about half an hour.

After entering the yard, he greeted the third aunt at the door. The third aunt saw that Jiang Feng had nothing in his hands and just nodded casually.

After entering the middle courtyard, Jiang Feng saw that the doors of several houses were closed. He was still wondering, aren't there a few aunts sitting together and chatting at this time every day? Why is there no one here today?

When he returned to the front of the house, he couldn't push the door open, so Jiang Feng shouted, "Brother Zhuzi, I'm back."

"Coming." Then I heard the sound of the door bolt being pushed from inside.

"Brother Zhuzi, why are you closing the door?" Jiang Feng asked as he entered the room.

He Yuzhu looked at He Yushui whose eyes were still red, and pulled Jiang Feng to sit down. He told Jiang Feng about his encounter with Jia Zhang and the three aunts on the way back. After Jiang Feng heard it, he thought, this must be the reason for the meeting last night. I fooled him, and I can't avoid it when I come back. He couldn't suppress his anger, and said in a calm voice: "Brother Zhuzi, what are you going to do? The tickets are bought. We will leave at 10:20 tomorrow morning."

"I don't know now. Let's go ask an old man in the evening." He Yuzhu said with his head down.

Jiang Feng heard this and thought, how can this be possible? Isn't this asking for brainwashing? Why don't I go first?

"Brother Zhuzi, it's almost noon. Let's cook first. Make steamed buns and cornbread out of the noodles at home. See what vegetables are available. Eat what you can today. If you can't finish it, take it with you on the road tomorrow. I've asked, and the car ride will take five or six hours."

Jiang Feng knew that He Yuzhu's mind was sometimes smart and sometimes stupid. He had not been brainwashed by Yi Zhonghai yet, and no one who could make him think without thinking had entered the hospital yet. Now let him be busy, and when he is done, based on my combined life experience of more than 40 years, he will be finished with my CPU. This is called following Yi Zhonghai's path and leaving him with no way out.

After hearing this, He Yuzhu turned around and went to the kitchen, found a bag of two-pound flour and nearly three pounds of corn flour, washed his hands and started to knead the dough. Jiang Feng went to the inner room, took out a set of his own clothes, He Yuzhu's, and Yu Shui's clothes, and tied up the unused sheets into a bundle.

When Jiang Feng had almost finished cleaning the house, he heard He Yuzhu shouting, "It's time for dinner." Jiang Feng walked out of the inner room. He Yushui was sitting in front of the window practicing calligraphy, with tears still on her face. Jiang Feng went to get some water: "Yushui, come and wash your face. Don't cry anymore. Go find your dad tomorrow."

Several people sat at the table. Jiang Feng and He Yuzhu ate and chatted, while He Yushui had a steamed bun and drank corn porridge. The only dishes on the table were a plate of pickles and a plate of stir-fried cabbage.

He Yuzhu also told him about the old man who came to see him this morning, and then talked about his master, and then he brought up the matter of several aunties in the courtyard who wanted to borrow a house. Jiang Feng felt that the time had come, and if not now, when would he CPU.

Jiang Feng put down his bowl and chopsticks, and his expression became serious. "Brother Zhuzi, you haven't experienced this. I have seen an old bachelor in the village before. Usually everyone stayed away from him and no one cared about him. When the old bachelor passed away, the whole village was in an uproar. People moved and carried things. People even fought for the two thatched houses in his house. The land was also divided up by the villagers. In the countryside, this is called eating up the whole family. The old bachelor was finally wrapped in a mat and buried on a random hillside. After that, there was no one to burn paper for festivals."

Jiang Feng picked up the bowl and drank a mouthful of porridge, then continued: "This is the whole village bullying the family that has no one. Even if there is a boy, it wouldn't be so ugly. The current situation in the yard is similar to what I said." He Yuzhu seemed a little unconvinced.

Jiang Feng said quickly, "Brother Zhuzi, don't be anxious. Listen to me first. I know what you are going to say. You are still at home, so who dares to come and eat the whole family, right? I have only been in this courtyard for a few months. In the past, the courtyard looked harmonious on the surface, because my uncle was there. He was a director and could control it. Don't underestimate these neighbors in the courtyard. Since my uncle left, has anyone come to ask about it since yesterday?"

After listening to Jiang Feng's long speech, He Yuzhu said, "Maybe it's not convenient for people to come to ask about this. Didn't an old man stop me and ask me today?"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Then why doesn't he come home? You two live next door to each other. Since he was waiting for you in the corridor so early, he must have seen you get up and wash up."

He Yuzhu was confused by the question. His mind was in a mess and he couldn't think so much. He just said, "What's the difference between asking outside and asking at home? They both ask because they care about me."
