Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

The Yan family was in a happy mood, and so was Yi Zhonghai's family. The criticism session ended in the afternoon, and before he left, Director Fan told him to start work the next day. From the next day, Yi Zhonghai would officially end his days of being unemployed at home.

Tan Guihua was happy that Yi Zhonghai had resumed work, and she specially fried two eggs for Yi Zhonghai as a snack.

Speaking of which, their family has not saved any money in the past few years. They had been stable for three years, but when the storm started, after Liu Haizhong became the patrol captain, Yi Zhonghai was ordered to reflect on himself at home.

Now that Yi Zhonghai can resume work, it is naturally something worth celebrating.

However, the work was resumed. Yi Zhonghai's actions had completely offended the Yan family, and there was no room for turning back.

The Yi family really has no friends in the Siheyuan.

"Old Yi, you should be careful of Yan Bugui in the future."

Tan Guihua was happy that Yi Zhonghai resumed work, but she was still a little worried that Yan Bugui would seek revenge on Yi Zhonghai.

"Be careful of Yan Bugui? Would I be afraid of him?"

Speaking of Yan Bugui, Yi Zhonghai's face was full of disdain. Among the people in Yard 95, the only one Yi Zhonghai could be on guard against was Xu Fugui's family in the backyard. Forget about the others, because even if there was one, it would not be Yan Bugui.

Yi Zhonghai didn't take seriously a person who only cared about petty gains like food and drink.

"It's not a question of whether I'm afraid or not. It's better to be careful. Besides, we don't have any friends in the courtyard now. I want to go out and chat with people, but no one pays attention to me. Now I can only stay at home every day."

Tan Guihua was also very distressed. Other families gathered in groups of three or five to do needlework and chat, it was so lively. Whenever she wanted to join in, those people would find various reasons to go home directly.

She couldn't remember when she, Tan Guihua, became so unpopular.

"It's better to ignore those old ladies in our yard. What good things can they say? The weather is getting colder day by day, and you are not in good health. If you don't want to go out, then don't go out. It's warmer to stay in the house."

Yi Zhonghai was also helpless. He thought about the past, where ever he went, people would greet him with a smile; now, when they saw him from a distance, they would just take a detour. It was really impossible to avoid them. If he didn't say anything, others would ignore him.

"Okay, let's stop talking and take a rest."

This is the reality. No matter how much you say, it won't change anything. In Nanluoguxiang, and even in Dongcheng District, the Yi family's reputation is no better than that of the Jia family and the Yan family.

Tan Guihua tidied herself up and went to bed.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't sleep.

Whenever I can’t sleep, I can’t help but ask myself, why has life become like this?

I have been planning for most of my life, but I have not accomplished anything.

The old man who was carefully raised and taken care of died.

The spare tire has also become disloyal.

The promotion to level eight, which was almost certain, has not been completed to this day.

The most important thing is that his reputation has been completely ruined to the point where it cannot be repaired. This is why he made up his mind to report Yan Bugui.

For work, actually, it’s also for money.

Now that my elderly care provider is gone and my reputation is ruined, for my future, the only way left is to make money.

He believed that as long as he saved enough money, he could hire the best caregiver even if he went to a nursing home.

In the future, as long as you behave yourself and keep a low profile, nothing should happen.

Unfortunately, they did not leave behind any children. No one would remember them after their death, and no one would burn incense and bury them every year. It is truly a pity.

While Yi Zhonghai was tossing and turning and unable to sleep, Qin Huairu was not much better.

Qin Huairu was worried about the revenge of the Yan family. Although Yan Jiecheng was dead, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang were still there. What if they wanted to deal with her one day?

Your own backer is no longer reliable.

Jia Zhang, who was capable of making trouble, was driven out by herself.

I am not attracted to Shazhu either.

The other neighbors in the compound are even more unreliable. When something really happens, it would be good enough if they don't add insult to injury.

No, I can't just sit there and wait for death. I have to find a way to win over Sha Zhu. It would be better if I can get him back to my side. Even if I can't, I have to ease the relationship. Who knows, I may be able to use Sha Zhu in the future.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu took action.

She poured some hot water, washed her face again, applied the cold cream that she was reluctant to use, combed her hair carefully, patted her body a few times, got up and went out.

Ever since Jia Zhang was driven out, the living space at home has become more spacious. Xiaodang and Huaihua sleep in one room, and she sleeps in another. Now she doesn't have to tiptoe when she goes out, she can go out openly.

"dong dong dong"

Qin Huairu gently knocked on Sha Zhu's door.

"Who?"

Sha Zhu's dissatisfied voice came.

"Zhu Zi, it's me, your sister Qin. Open the door. I have something to ask you."

"Go away, you're ruining my sleep."

Sha Zhu was also annoyed. Ever since Sai Yuhuan was sent to labor reform, he had rarely had access to meat in the past three years. It was not that he had not been to the Bada Hutongs, but that he could no longer find the feeling he had with Sai Yuhuan.

He had just crawled into bed, thinking about meeting Sai Yuhuan in his dream, when he was awakened by a knock on the door. It would be strange if Sha Zhu was in a good mood.

"dong dong dong"

The knocking on the door continued, and Qin Huairu didn't want to give up easily.

"Qin Huairu, are you done yet?"

"Zhu Zi, open the door. I'll just say a few words to you and then I'll leave."

"Okay, Qin Huairu, I want to see what you have to say."

Sha Zhu came out angrily, wearing his washed-out jacket and mumbling something.

As soon as she opened the door, Qin Huairu wanted to go into the house, bringing out a gust of wind. The fragrance was mixed with other smells, the kind of smell that comes from staying in the toilet for a long time.

Shazhu almost vomited.

Fighting back his nausea, Sha Zhu pushed Qin Huairu out and said impatiently, "Qin Huairu, if you have anything to say, just talk at the door. You smell terrible."

"Zhu Zi, I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you."

As she spoke, Qin Huairu deliberately moved closer to Sha Zhu, which frightened him so much that he stepped back repeatedly. In this way, Qin Huairu successfully entered Sha Zhu's room.

"Qin Huairu, if you have something to say, just say it. I won't fall for it."

"Zhu Zi, I know I have wronged you in the past. Now I know I was wrong. I am here today to make it up to you."

Seeing that Sha Zhu's tone was no longer so aggressive, Qin Huairu took Sha Zhu's hand, slowly placed it on her left chest, and said softly: "Zhu Zi, feel my heart."

Shazhu was stunned. He seemed to see the shadow of Sai Yuhuan in Qin Huairu.

However, the closer he got, the more obvious the stink on Qin Huairu's body became. Sha Zhu was "awakened" by the stink and pushed Qin Huairu away and said, "Qin Huairu, wash off the stink on your body first."

Qin Huairu saw that there was a way, so she took the opportunity to say, "Zhu Zi, I'll go to the bathhouse to take a good bath some other day, and then we can have a good chat."

"Let's talk about it then."

Shazhu said something ambiguous.

"Zhu Zi, let's make it a deal."

Qin Huairu left happily, as she saw hope of conquering Sha Zhu again.

After Qin Huairu left, Sha Zhu carefully recalled the softness he had just touched, and a different thought came to his mind. It would seem nice if Qin Huairu didn't have that bad smell on her body.

However, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
