The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

After lunch, Chang Wei went to the dormitory and found Qian San, a worker who had a relapse of his old injury.

"Old Qian, I've found someone for you regarding your job position. Let's make an appointment to talk."

"Brother Wei, please sit down. Sorry for bothering you. I'll pour you some water." Lao Qian hurriedly supported his waist and tried to get out of bed.

"Don't bother. Your waist condition still hasn't gotten better. How about I bring you to the dormitory tomorrow?" Chang Wei stepped forward to stop him and sat down beside the bed with a stool.

He knew that Qian San was injured in the battle with his legs and lumbar spine. His legs were lame and there were shrapnel in his lumbar spine that had not been removed. It should be said that current medical technology could not remove it. The military could only give priority to assigning work to him and could not do anything else.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you again." Qian San said apologetically.

"It's okay. What are your plans for the future? Do you really want to go back to the countryside?"

"I will go back to the village and ask someone to find me a wife. I promised my eldest and second sons that I will continue the Qian family's lineage."

The three brothers Qian were in the same squad. They were attacked and bombed by enemy planes while defending their positions. His life was saved by his two brothers, and his last words were that the Qian family's incense must not be cut off.

Seeing Qian San's current situation, Chang Wei felt sympathy for him, fearing that it would not be easy for him to return to the village and marry a wife.

"Old Qian, don't go back to the countryside. I have a suggestion for you. Ask the matchmaker to find someone for you in the village. Be bold in your conditions. Shengli Welfare Home is still in need of a helper to take care of the children, and the kitchen is still in need of a cook. I will arrange for you two to go. Although the salary is not high, it is enough for you to live on."

Qian San's eyes lit up and he said quickly, "Thank you, Brother Wei. I'll trade my current position for it. I can't take all the benefits."

Chang Wei said directly to the point. "You brothers risked their lives for this, how can you get any advantage? You just sold your job and used the money to buy a house, but you still live in the dormitory after you get married? Don't you have the responsibility to give your child a home?"

He stood up and added, "It's settled. I'll ask for you the position here. It's about fifteen thousand."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking back, unwilling to listen to or see the following words. Especially from a soldier who had fought bloody battles, a man who had sacrificed his life for his nation.

To put it bluntly, even if they were robbers or corrupt officials, the money they got was earned by risking their lives. Moreover, for a veteran like Qian San, shouldn't Chang Wei be compassionate and give him more compensation?

In the room, Qian San's eyes were misty. He propped himself up and watched Chang Wei leaving, sobbing silently.

……

After get off work, Comrade He Yuzhu was riding his bicycle very hard. There was a handsome guy sitting on the back seat, smoking a cigarette comfortably. You didn't have to guess who he was.

Chang Wei glanced at Sha Zhu who was working hard in front of him, and felt that it would be nice to have someone to walk with him after get off work. It would be nice to be able to slack off on the way home with a reasonable attitude.

Let Shazhu adapt in advance, practice more, and when he is old and retired, he can still ride a tricycle to make money to subsidize his children...

Thinking of the three masters who came to visit at noon, he couldn't help but complain about Sha Zhu. "Zhuzi, don't be so nagging next time, you know what happened in the courtyard yesterday..."

He Yuzhu said apologetically. "Ah~Brother Wei, I'm sorry, I~I didn't think that much."

Well, I have caused trouble for Brother Wei again. I secretly warned myself that I should control my mouth in the future.

Chang Wei smiled and reminded him. "Zhu Zi, don't think too much. I just said it. It's nothing. I just want to tell you that some things should be kept in your heart.

Do you know how to make a fortune quietly? It means to seize the opportunity and do it quietly. Only when things are scarce can you make money. If you tell others and do it, what advantage do you have? How to make money?

You should know that human nature is evil, and the teachings passed down by our ancestors are not omnipotent. Some people will: envy you for what you have, and hope you don’t have it. Hate you for being rich, and wish you were poor. Resent you for being capable, and wish you were stupid. Some even hate you for being capable, and wish you were stupid. So think before you speak, and live comfortably if you have a clear mind.

He just wanted Sha Zhu to change his bad mouth. With Xiao Yushui as his relationship, Sha Zhu wasn't a wicked person, so he still wanted to do good for Sha Zhu. After all, they were relatives...

He Yuzhu nodded thoughtfully. "Brother Wei, I understand."

I thought, one of the reasons why my father left was because he was afraid of being dug up by others and being reported by people in the hospital. Maybe it was also because he was afraid of the evil nature of human beings, right?

Chang Wei patted his shoulder.

Afterwards, the two chatted about family matters. When they were almost at the entrance of the alley, they vaguely heard a familiar voice calling from behind.

"Awei, wait a minute."

Chang Wei looked back and saw that it was the Xu family's father and son. Xu Damao was stretching his neck and pedaling his bicycle desperately to catch up.

"Zhu Zi, slow down."

He Yuzhu slowed down, and when Xu Damao caught up, he grinned and shouted provocatively, "Idiot, is this okay? You still want a man to wait for you?"

Xu Damao panted and retorted unyieldingly, "Don't be so cocky, Silly Zhu. You just walked ahead first, and now I have you to wait for me."

He Yuzhu grinned. "If you are a man, you better keep up with me." Then he started to speed up.

Xu Damao stood up and stretched his neck to chase after him, not wanting to be outdone.

Xu Fugui ignored the two people who were making a fuss and talked to Chang Wei. "Ah Wei, what's the matter?"

Chang Wei smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, his back has been inconvenient these days. I'll take you to the dormitory to talk tomorrow. What time do you think? But he also gave me a low price, fifteen hundred."

Xu Fugui thought it was okay. Scarcity makes things more valuable. Fifteen thousand is not expensive. He could accept it. "Okay, then we'll go together tomorrow morning when you go to work."

Chang Wei didn't want to delay it too long, so he decided to go there tomorrow morning. "Uncle Xu, bring Damao with you tomorrow morning, and we'll have a direct discussion. Once the paperwork is done, Damao will take over the job."

"Yes, the sooner the better, so as to save ..."

Before Xu Fugui could finish his words, he was so scared that he jumped off his bicycle.

Xu Damao quickly stabilized the front of the car, braked to stop, squatted on the ground, holding his crotch and crying.

"Zhu Zi, stop." Chang Wei held back his laughter. He watched the whole process.

Xu Damao stood up to pedal his bicycle, but the chain suddenly fell off, and he lost his balance when he pedaled. As a result, the front of the bicycle shook and he rode on the big bar, which scared Xu Fugui so much that he jumped off the bicycle...

I thought, if Xu Damao wasn't kicked in the crotch by Sha Zhu, he wouldn't be crippled by the bicycle bar again, right?

Seeing this, Xu Fugui hurried forward to ask, "Da Mao, is there anything wrong?"

Xu Damao said weakly, "Dad, my balls hurt~"

Chang Wei also stepped forward. "Uncle Xu, why don't you take Damao to the hospital?"

He Yuzhu also turned his bike around. "What are you doing, idiot? Are you going to end up with nothing?"

When Xu Damao heard this, he jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Silly Zhu, you bastard, can you speak?"

After saying that, he covered his crotch and said, "Ouch, it hurts~"

Chang Wei was speechless. This silly Zhu's words were like good medicine to Xu Damao...

Xu Fugui also realized that his son should be fine. "Awei, you guys go back first. I'll see you at the gate tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Uncle Xu, we'll go first."
