Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

"Old Yi, don't try to stop Yan Jiecheng from doing this. That kid is also a good-for-nothing."

Hearing that Yan Bugui had left, Tan Guihua came out from the inner room.

"Guihua, don't worry, I know what to do. I know the Yan family too well. They are all people who use people to their advantage and not to their disadvantage."

"It's good that you understand. In the past few years, our family has been getting worse and worse. From now on, we won't ask about anyone else's family affairs. Let's just live a peaceful and stable life."

Tan Guihua was scared. In the three years, Yi Zhonghai had only worked for one and a half years, and the rest of the time he was either lying in the hospital or at home. Fortunately, the couple were used to being frugal and could eat both good wine and meat, as well as simple tea and rice.

"Ugh!"

"What else can I do? This is the only way for now. I can't even lift my head in the factory after these past two years. Let's just wait and see."

To be honest, asking Yi Zhonghai to give up the assessment for level eight worker is more painful than killing him.

That's an eighth-level worker, the pinnacle of ordinary workers, the lifelong pursuit of many people, and now I can achieve it just by passing the assessment.

But such a simple thing is as difficult as an insurmountable chasm for Yi Zhonghai now.

There is no doubt that Yi Zhonghai will not have any chance to take the assessment next year. After all, he has already wasted three assessment opportunities.

"What about the silly pillar?"

"Silly Zhu, just let it be. When you have nothing to do, help if you can. Let's maintain the relationship first."

"That's the only way. I heard that Sha Zhu has fallen in love with the new widow from the next yard. Tell me, how can a grown man like Sha Zhu think differently from others?"

"No, who told you that?"

Yi Zhonghai usually stays at home and either stays there to sleep or be in a daze. Naturally, he is not as well-informed as Tan Guihua. But now Tan Guihua is living a very comfortable life. It can be said that she has been living a much more relaxed life since the moment the deaf old lady died.

"Who else told you this? It's spread all over the alley."

"How about the widow?"

"She's pretty, not worse than Huairu. What do you think, Old Yi?"

"Guihua, what nonsense are you talking about? What can I think? I mean, is she easy to talk to? If I really marry Shazhu, is it possible for her to take care of us in our old age?"

"How many simple widows are there? Yesterday, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu paid two hundred yuan to the man. Think about it, can they be easy to talk to?"

After hearing what Tan Guihua said, Yi Zhonghai was shocked. How amazing! To be able to take advantage of Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu, it goes without saying that they are not people who can be easily fooled.

"Hearing what you said, you are a person with your own opinions. Don't worry, you will definitely not fall for Sha Zhu."

"Whether she likes it or not is another matter. But the new widow is really amazing. She has four children and has educated them well. I heard that she was transferred from a factory down there. She's a level 5 welder."

"This makes me feel more at ease. They definitely don't like Shazhu."

"Old Yi, what do you think we should do with Sha Zhu?"

"Let nature take its course."

"That's all we can do. Even if he wants to get close to us, there are some things we can't say."

"That's right, I'm glad you know it."

"Ugh..."

...............

Jia family

"Huai Ru, why didn't you bring your lunch box back today?"

When Jia Zhang returned home, she bolted the door and didn't open it until Qin Huairu came home from get off work.

"The silly pillar was given to someone else."

Qin Huairu was also helpless, so Sha Zhu returned to the cafeteria. He originally thought that his family's life would get better, but a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared. A young widow who was as beautiful as himself was transferred from a subordinate factory to the steel rolling mill.

"Whoever gave it to, I can't stop scolding her."

Jia Zhang glared with her triangular eyes and stood up suddenly.

"Okay, you can't handle that guy."

"I can't deal with it. Is there anyone around here that I can't deal with?"

"Liang Ladi from the next courtyard."

"Well.."

Jia Zhang smiled awkwardly, and the anger she had just brought up disappeared immediately. It was easy to deal with others, she could just block the door and curse for two days and the problem would be solved. But Liang Ladi was not the same, that woman was not an easy person to deal with, she dared to curse and hit people, and what was more important was that she liked to use a knife.

When Jia Zhang thought about the kitchen knife being placed on her neck last night, she felt cold all over.

"Aren't Liang Ladi's children studying at Red Star Primary School? Let Banggeng teach them a lesson at school."

"Mom, you are so bold. Banggeng can't even beat Sanmao, and you still want to teach Damao and Ermao a lesson? You really know how to find trouble for your grandson."

"Huai Ru, you said Bang Geng was so strong because of what he ate, and he was not short either, so how come a five-year-old kid couldn't beat him?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

Qin Huairu was still wondering, could it be that their Jia family was really a weasel that gave birth to one nest of mice worse than the last?

"Huai Ru, what should we do if we don't have Sha Zhu's lunch box?"

"If there's nothing, then there's nothing. Didn't we come here when Shazhu wasn't in the cafeteria?"

"That's different. Why should the new widow get Shazhu's lunch box? We took it from us. I can't swallow this."

"I can't swallow it, but I have to force myself to swallow it. I don't have the heart to think about Shazhu's lunch box right now. I also have to think about how to pay Cui Dake back the 200 yuan."

Qin Huairu was in low spirits at work that day and was scolded several times by the workshop director. All she thought about that day was how to get away with her debts.

Paying back the money was impossible. Qin Huairu didn't have the word "paying back" in her dictionary. Besides, why should she pay back the money she borrowed with her own ability?

"Huai Ru, you better be careful and don't let anyone take advantage of you. This newcomer Cui Da is not a loser like Sha Zhu."

"Yeah, that's why I'm worried. Where am I going to get two hundred dollars?"

"How about going to the old man and borrowing some first?"

"I had already asked when I picked up Huaihua yesterday. When it came to borrowing money, Yi Zhonghai and his wife started crying poor."

"If that's the case, Huairu can only rely on yourself. Why don't you take some time to go to the hospital and get an IUD?"

"Mom, what do you mean? Are you suspecting that I'm unfaithful to Dongxu?"

"Huai Ru, isn't this just in case? What if, I mean if, what if you really can't pay back the two hundred yuan?"

"I.."

"Alas, Huairu, Mom knows, it's hard for you."

"Mom, I'm not miserable. Dongxu treated me very well when he was alive. No matter how hard it is, I will raise three children. On Sunday, I will get the IUD inserted."

Qin Huairu made up her mind and felt more relaxed.
