Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

The setting sun cast its last rays of light, and He Yuzhu was riding a bicycle, the wheels rolling, speeding towards the front door.

Facing the wind, he was thinking about this matter in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the telegram he received in Harbin more than two years ago.

He Yuzhu originally thought it was just an ordinary greeting telegram asking when he would return to Beijing.

He really didn't know how many years he would stay there, so he replied that he didn't know.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhang would do this. Without Yi Zhonghai's support, nothing would have been possible.

It seems that I have to give Yi Zhonghai a hard time this time to put an end to his thoughts.

Chen Xueru was sitting in the back seat, but she couldn't see the expression on He Yuzhu's face.

She stretched out her hand, feeling the breeze passing through her fingers, and her heart felt calm and comfortable.

"Brother Zhuzi, what do you mean by the last words you said? It's so mysterious."

Hearing the voice coming from behind, He Yuzhu slowed down the car and turned his head. His voice seemed a little vague in the wind: "Do you remember the award certificate I mentioned to you?"

Chen Xueru recalled it in her mind and soon remembered it.

She thought for a moment and hesitated: "Brother Zhuzi, what do you mean..."

"It's just as you thought. I followed her and found out. We were neighbors, so I didn't report her..."

Before He Yuzhu finished speaking, Chen Xueru already understood what he meant.

Her eyes widened in surprise. "Ah? There is such a thing. I didn't expect there are people around you who believe in these things."

He Yuzhu laughed and teased her: "Don't think we won't, you might get obsessed with something someday."

"Humph, I told you not to underestimate me!" Chen Xueru pouted in pretending to be angry, suddenly stretched out her hand and gently twisted his waist.

He Yuzhu was a little tickled by her actions. He pushed his feet hard and the bicycle rushed out suddenly.

Chen Xueru exclaimed and hugged his waist tightly.

"Haha, sit tight!" He Yuzhu laughed, "I'll make you something delicious when I get home."

In the front yard of the courtyard, Yan Bugui moved a stool and sat in front of his house, holding a cigarette in his hand.

He was thinking about what happened today and whether it would have any impact on Yi Zhonghai.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps broke his meditation. He shook the ashes in his hand and looked up.

He saw people returning from get off work at the steel rolling mill walking into the yard one after another, and he quickly stood up to greet them.

"Everyone, it just so happens that you all came back together. Let's go to the street office together!"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why.

Yi Zhonghai looked at him with confusion: "Old Yan, what instructions are there from above?"

Yan Bugui shook his head repeatedly: "No, Zhuzi returned to the yard today. Dongxu, your mother's house incident was exposed! She has been taken away by the street office."

As soon as these words were spoken, a huge uproar broke out among the crowd.

A trace of anger flashed across Peng Dagang's face. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked out.

A cunning light flashed in Xu Fugui's eyes, and he pushed his bicycle quickly to catch up.

"Lao Peng, wait for me, ride my bike faster."

When Jia Dongxu heard the news, he was panicked.

He turned to look at Yi Zhonghai beside him, his eyes full of pleading: "Master, please help my mother!"

Yi Zhonghai frowned and sighed inwardly. It had been a whole year and he didn't expect that he would come back.

He glanced at Yan Bugui, then turned to Jia Dongxu and said, "Dongxu, don't panic. Let's go to the street office to find out the situation first."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the yard, followed closely by Jia Dongxu.

When Yi Zhonghai and the other person arrived at the gate of the street office, Xu Fugui and Peng Dagang had finished their conversation and walked out side by side.

Xu Fugui saw the two and greeted them: "Hey, you're here! Dongxu, your wife is still waiting inside! Go in quickly."

"Thank you, Uncle Xu!" Jia Dongxu responded gratefully, turned his head to look at Yi Zhonghai, and hurried in.

Yi Zhonghai narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the two people in front of him: "Lao Xu, what exactly do you want us to do?"

"We're already at the door. You'll know once you go in," Xu Fugui replied, nodded, and walked away.

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened slightly. He looked deeply at Xu Fugui, then turned and walked into the street office.

Jia Dongxu entered the street office, asked about Qin Huairu's whereabouts, and hurried to the door of the reception room.

He pushed the door open and saw Qin Huairu sitting on a stool with a blank expression.

Jia Dongxu was startled and blurted out: "Huai Ru, please don't scare me?"

When Qin Huairu heard his call, her empty eyes gradually focused. She looked at Jia Dongxu, and tears instantly flowed from the corners of her dry eyes, sliding down silently.

She stood up and ran towards Jia Dongxu, feeling more confident.

Jia Dongxu hugged Qin Huairu tightly. Seeing that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked softly, "Huairu, what happened today?"

Qin Huairu wiped her tears, tried to calm herself down, and thought about how to respond.

"Brother Dongxu, I have another child!"

Jia Dongxu was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with ecstasy. He excitedly held Qin Huairu's shoulders: "Really? That's great."

Qin Huairu, however, looked worried. She gently held Jia Dongxu's hand and motioned him to calm down.

"But Mom occupied the He family's house, so she has to pay a fine and compensation this time. How are we going to support her?"

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu's mood suddenly fell to the bottom. He let go of her hand helplessly, feeling mixed emotions.

He thought of his mother, Jia Zhang, and then of his unborn child, and held his head in pain.

Seeing that he had run out of ideas, Qin Huairu wiped away her tears, held his hand, and whispered in his ear.

"Brother Dongxu, I've asked around. As long as we pay compensation, our mother will suffer less. Master Yi is rich!"

Jia Dongxu's eyes flashed when he heard this. He nodded thoughtfully, and the panic in his heart gradually subsided.

Qin Huairu felt relieved when she saw that he took her words to heart.

As for why she didn't tell anyone about the Xinghua Temple mentioned by He Yuzhu, she felt that this was a way to control Jia Zhang in the future, so she subconsciously concealed it.

Jia Dongxu figured out the whole thing and decided to give Yi Zhonghai a hard time.

He took Qin Huairu's hand and said, "Huairu, let's go out first and find Master together to beg him."

After hearing this, Qin Huairu finally felt relieved. Now she could give birth to the child in peace.

"Brother Dongxu, let's go!" The two walked out of the reception room.

With a creaky sound, the door was opened and Yi Zhonghai walked out from another room.

He glanced at the sky and walked straight towards the gate.

Yi Zhonghai was still thinking about how to show some favor to Jia Dongxu so that he would be more filial to him.

The Jia family now only has Jia Dongxu's income, so it doesn't matter whether the punishment can be reduced this time.

The rent and fines for the past few years are indispensable, and Jia Dongxu certainly cannot afford the money.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

This money is nothing to him. If he can take this opportunity to control Jia Dongxu, it would be worth it.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, Yi Zhonghai heard shouting. He turned around and found that it was Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu.

He couldn't suppress his smile. Wasn't this a great opportunity that came right to him?
