Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

After leaving the courtyard, the two went straight back to the office. It was already the end of November and the weather was still very cold. Apart from some passing vehicles and some street sweepers, there was basically no one else.

There's nothing interesting to see even if you go shopping, so just go back to the office. The office has started heating now, using a small water heating system. All the rooms in the office are equipped with radiators, including the bathroom. Instead of blowing the cold wind on the street, you might as well go back to the office and sleep in.

"Brother Zheng, what Jia Zhang did gave people a feeling of starting strong but ending weak."

After returning to the office and sitting on the sofa, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help complaining.

Taking off his coat, Liu Guozheng casually said, "Because Jia Zhang is smart."

"Smart, I didn't see that."

In Lou Xiao'e's opinion, Jia Zhang's behavior was not smart in any way.

"Look at the conditions proposed by Jia Zhang. The first one is a 100 yuan gift. The other conditions are more distant, and the amount is no more than 10 yuan."

"Brother Zheng, do you mean that Jia Zhang did it on purpose?"

"I didn't know it on purpose. I just knew that Qin Huairu agreed to most of her conditions, except for the one hundred yuan."

"Hearing you say that, it's true. What if Jia Zhang insists on being tough?"

"Haha, being tough to the end? How can an old lady who doesn't work hard have the capital to be tough to the end?"

"how to say."

"Go get me a glass of water and I'll talk to you."

After pouring a glass of water, Lou Xiao'e sat down next to Liu Guozheng, and Liu Guozheng analyzed the Jia Zhang family to her.

In Liu Guozheng's opinion, Jia Zhang's operation was indeed smart and met her own expectations. With a fixed income of five yuan per month, she basically did not have to worry about food and clothing, especially food, which Qin Huairu took care of. The only problem was her clothing. However, for an old lady in her fifties, as long as she was warm, she did not care whether it looked good or not.

She should have known that Qin Huairu and Cui Dake's marriage could not be stopped no matter what, as the policy at the time was to encourage prostitutes to become good women and widows to remarry. Since she couldn't stop it, she took the opportunity to get some benefits.

So why didn't she stand firm to the end? Because she had a fatal weakness, which was that she had a rural household registration.

If she really insists on being tough, the final result will most likely be that she will be sent back to the countryside. If she is really sent back to the countryside, she will not have done farm work for decades, and she may have forgotten what leeks and wheat seedlings look like. At that time, there will be only one way waiting for Jia Zhangshi, and that is starvation to death.

Someone might ask, what about the Jia family’s house?

It would have been fine if the house had not been mentioned. After the house was mentioned, Jia Zhang died faster.

Regardless of whether the Jia family’s current house is a private residence or rented, the inheritance right does not lie with Jia Zhang. Even if there is any, it is only one-fifth. So how much money can that thing be worth?

So Jia Zhang never mentioned the house at all. The house belonged to the Jia family and to the future Bang Geng, not hers.

As for Jia Zhang's clamoring to go to the factory, the district, and the city, that is even more of an act of seeking death. What is a dictatorship institution? It's okay if you are reasonable, but if you are unreasonable and make unreasonable demands, then they will be even more unreasonable.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Jia Zhang has been dealt with, and the only thing left is Qin Huairu's child, especially the older one."

"From the beginning to the end, the children were not a problem."

"Why is it not a problem? What if Bang Geng keeps objecting?"

"Xiao'e, you have to know that a ten-year-old child can't even support himself, what right does he have to object? I dare to say this, if he goes hungry for two meals, he will be obedient."

"Ah, can Qin Huairu be willing to do that?"

"Whether you want to give up or not depends on whether Qin Huairu really wants to marry you."

"Brother Zheng, let's listen to the general situation of today. Qin Huairu and Cui Dake were reported by someone, and they had no choice but to decide to get married. From this, it seems that they didn't even consider getting married at the beginning."

"Xiao'e, to be exact, Cui Dake has never considered getting married, but Qin Huairu may not be the same. Maybe this report was directed and acted by Qin Huairu herself, just to force Cui Dake?"

"Isn't this possible?"

"It's entirely possible. Think about it. Cui Dake is not bad looking and has great skills. He has brought a lot of materials to the steel mill. Not to mention how much benefit Cui Dake may have gained from it, the fact that she will have no worries about food and drink if she follows Cui Dake is worth Qin Huairu's attention."

"Is Qin Huairu's mind so deep?"

"Maybe. If Cui Dake doesn't have any bad intentions, what's the point of Qin Huairu's deep thoughts?"

"Brother Zheng, according to what you said, Qin Huairu knew from the beginning that Cui Dake would not marry her, so why did she still hang out with him?"

"This matter, I guess Qin Huairu miscalculated and wanted to use the same method to deal with Cui Dake as she did with Sha Zhu. She didn't expect that even though Cui Dake came from the countryside, he was a thief with both the heart and the courage. As a result, Qin Huairu was doomed."

"So, Qin Huairu and Cui Dake are not good people."

"My silly wife, the so-called good and bad people in this world are just different positions. But in the eyes of the general public, not only them, but basically there are no good people in No. 95 Courtyard."

"What about Xu Damao? I remember that when I first saw Xu Damao, his two thief eyes were bulging and rolling around, and everything he looked at was floating. Just like what you said, brother Zheng, you should not look at people through the eyes."

"Hahaha."

When talking about Xu Damao, Liu Guozheng smiled.

At the beginning, every time Xu Damao talked about Qin Huairu, he felt inexplicably excited, with a hint of longing in his eyes, and he couldn't walk when he saw a beautiful woman.

At that time, Xu Damao was thin and looked a little listless. Although he was young, he looked like an old man.

Later, he followed the third brother to exercise every day, and Chen Huwei would give him some advice from time to time. In addition, the food in the new village was also good. With continuous exercise, his physical condition improved.

If the physique is healthy, the mind will be healthy; if the mind is healthy, evil will not invade.

There was a slogan at that time: Develop sports and enhance people's physique.

"Brother Zheng, what are you laughing at?"

"Xu Damao is a smart guy. He can't be called a bad guy, but his smartness doesn't fit in with the people in Yard 95. It's a good thing he met us earlier, otherwise he would definitely learn the tricks of Yi Zhonghai and his gang to backstab others in the future."

"So my husband really did a great deed by saving a young boy who was teetering on the edge of the abyss."

"Haha, wife, I love what you said."

"You are beautiful."

Lou Xiao'e hit Liu Guozheng lightly and then said, "Brother Zheng, you said that Qin Huairu is married, so Yu Shui's brother no longer has any thoughts about her. He should be able to settle down and find a partner, right?"

"I guess it won't work. There's a pretty widow next door."

"To be honest, Qin Huairu and Liang Ladi are both good-looking, but I still admire Liang Ladi. I think she is very capable. Her level 5 welder is better than many men."

"No matter how powerful you are, you are not as powerful as my wife. My wife manages the entire Hope Fund. Am I proud of that?"

"Hahaha, Brother Zheng, you are so shameless."

"Wife, are you kidding me? I am praising you."

"Huh, why do I feel like I'm praising yourself?"

"How to say?"

"I hope the fund is not founded by you yet."

“It doesn’t count if you create something, it’s the ability to manage it that counts.”

"Sincerely?"

"The conscience of heaven and earth."

"Come here, Liu Guozheng, let me see your conscience."

"Hahaha."
