Siheyuan: Since 51

Cross the hall and arrive at the central courtyard.

Many people gathered in groups of three or four in various places along the corridor, all staring at the tightly closed door of the Yi family's house.

Lin Zhiyuan caught a glimpse of Qin Huairu and Aunt Yan standing on the steps whispering, and walked straight up to them.

"Huai Ru, what's going on?"

"Brother Zhiyuan, you're back!"

Qin Huairu tugged at Lin Zhiyuan's arm and said in a low voice, "Well, it's hard to tell who's coming from the middle."

Aunt Yan added, "That's right. We heard Old Yi yelling a few times from the front yard, saying something like 'I'm the boss of the family'. When we got over, the door was closed, and there was no sound except Old Yi's family crying."

Looking around, Lin Zhiyuan saw all kinds of people.

She put her hands on her hips, not knowing what she was thinking about, her eyebrows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.

Jia Dongxu crossed his arms across his chest, leaning against a pillar, chatting and laughing with Jia Zhang, who was sewing shoe soles next to him.

At the door of the He family, He Daqing sat on a stool, tapping his thighs with his fingers, squinting his eyes, and a smile on his lips.

……

Something is wrong!

There is no brain in the bangs, so just ignore it.

It's normal that the mother and son of the Jia family have no conscience.

What was that expression on He Daqing’s face?

Lin Zhiyuan touched the tip of his nose and couldn't help but ponder it secretly.

Suddenly, He Daqing looked over, they stared at each other for two seconds, then looked away.

Lin Zhiyuan was completely confused and felt baffled.

"Bang!"

The door of the Yi family's room was opened, and Yi Zhonghai, with a sullen face, strode out of the room and waved his hand.

"Everyone, it's inevitable for a couple to have some conflicts and quarrels. It's nothing serious, just go your separate ways!"

Seeing this, Jia Dongxu immediately put on a bitter face.

"Master, you and Master's wife should discuss this properly. It's not worth it to quarrel!"

Yi Zhonghai felt very relieved and his complexion became much better.

Jia Zhang put away her shoes and stood up.

"His master, women have long hair but short knowledge. Just like Dongxu said, it's not worth quarreling."

Then he suggested, "You haven't eaten yet? Come on, come to our house for a meal and try your apprentice's wife's cooking."

"Okay!" Yi Zhonghai didn't think much about it. He put his hands behind his back and walked towards the Jia family with a smile.

Lin Zhiyuan was stunned.

Is Jia Zhang crazy?

No, there is no such thing as nothing without benefit. There must be some plan.

By the way, could it be a job quota?

……

The excitement ended and everyone dispersed.

Seeing Lin Zhiyuan in a daze, Qin Huairu couldn't help but wonder, "Brother Zhiyuan, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Zhiyuan came back to his senses and waved his hand, "It's nothing, let's go home!"

Just as he was about to turn around, He Daqing waved at him unexpectedly.

"Zhiyuan, let's have a drink tonight!"

Lin Zhiyuan was startled, then said readily: "Okay, I'll go over later!"

Walking side by side with Qin Huairu.

Lin Zhiyuan stopped passing by his own door.

"Huai Ru, you heard it too. I'm going to take care of some things and go to the He family for dinner, so don't worry about me."

As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow, leaned closer and smiled, "I'll tell you good news later."

"What good news?"

"Tell me later."

"Still keeping us in suspense!" Qin Huairu snorted, waved her hands, and urged: "Alright, go and play bar!"

I bought two pounds of loose white meat and went to He's house.

He Daqing and Sha Zhu had already sat down and the dishes were on the table.

"Zhiyuan, please sit down."

Lin Zhiyuan saw the braised eggplant on the table and asked with a smile: "Oh, Uncle He, the eggplant is coming down?"

"It just came down, I guess the quantity is not big, I went to buy groceries, I saw it and bought two."

He Daqing gave Sha Zhu a look, and Sha Zhu realized it belatedly and quickly poured him a glass of wine.

"Brother Zhiyuan, my dad is stingy and only gave me 5,000 yuan. Otherwise, I would have bought more."

He Daqing's face turned dark and his paralyzed face trembled.

"You know nothing. Vegetables will eventually become less expensive. Isn't it better to eat fresh ones? Besides, the price of vegetables will only get lower and lower. Why buy so much? I think you are just lazy!"

Sha Zhu curled his lips and said, "Cheng Cheng Cheng, you are right."

He Daqing’s cooking skills are really impeccable. We had a lot of fun eating, drinking and chatting.

At the very end, when it was about to end, He Daqing suddenly stretched out his hand and signaled, "Shazhu, go to the wing room and rest. You can sleep here in the rain tonight."

Sha Zhu rolled his eyes, somewhat unhappy.

"Dad, this isn't over yet, so I'm leaving the table. Isn't that inappropriate?"

"Go, go, go. I want to talk to your brother Zhiyuan and then we'll go."

"Hmph, I don't want to listen to your nonsense!" Muttering, Sha Zhu stood up and walked out.

After Sha Zhu left, He Daqing handed Lin Zhiyuan a cigarette.

"Zhiyuan, how is it today?"

Lin Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and calmed himself down. "I came back late and didn't understand it. How is it related to you?"

"Humph, Lao Yi plotted against me and Sha Zhu, I naturally cannot swallow this anger."

He Daqing took a long puff of his cigarette and continued, "I realized I was being plotted against, so I started to think about it. It wasn't until you said that the factory was going to expand and would be hiring that I had an idea."

Lin Zhiyuan took a bite of eggplant and asked casually, "What did you do?"

He Daqing sneered, "I went to the old Yi family to ask some questions and find out the specific situation of their hometown. I wrote a letter in their name."

Lin Zhiyuan was slightly stunned, and then asked: "What did you say in your letter?"

"They said they still don't have a child, so they want to adopt one. The factory is hiring, so they can arrange a job for him if he comes."

He Daqing said, picking up his wine glass, "It would be best if both sides come. If you add Jia Dongxu, that would be three parties. From now on, Yi Zhonghai will be worried!"

Lin Zhiyuan pursed his lips, "Aren't you afraid of backfiring? Don't turn around and fail in your plan, and help Yi Zhonghai find a person to take care of the old man. Or, Yi Zhonghai won't acknowledge him."

He Daqing waved his hands, "Impossible. With Jia Dongxu here, how can it be quiet? I don't believe it! As for Yi Zhonghai's denial? He cares most about his reputation, so he will definitely not refuse openly. If he secretly shows his displeasure, wouldn't it be even more exciting?"

That’s true!

He Daqing is so fucking insidious!

He looks like a taciturn person, but I didn't expect he is actually a bad guy!

When Lin Zhiyuan looked at He Daqing again, he couldn't help but become more vigilant.

He Daqing quickly explained, "Zhiyuan, don't look at me like that. If you don't have some brains, you can't survive during the chaotic period. But I've never taken the initiative to cause trouble."

After leaving the He family, Lin Zhiyuan felt a little dizzy when the evening breeze blew.

I had only taken two steps when I heard light footsteps behind me.

I stopped and looked back, and saw Aunt Yi walking towards me quickly.

Without thinking much, I turned around and continued walking home.

Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, Aunt Yi caught up with him.

"Zhiyuan, walk with me for a while. I have something I want to talk to you about."

We have been together in the hospital for nine years.

Aunt Yi is a kind person, and Lin Zhiyuan knows it well.

Lin Zhiyuan always has his own ideas, and Aunt Yi knows that. Besides, she doesn’t know who to discuss with for the time being, so she wants to hear Lin Zhiyuan’s opinion.

Lin Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, then saw Aunt Yi's expectant eyes and nodded.

"That's great. I need to go to the toilet. Let's chat for a while at the gate!"

Aunt Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
