Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

"Jianjun, how long have you been here?"

"I just got here. There's no queue yet."

"We just bought vegetables and are rushing over to buy coal."

These two people have low family status and are considered free labor in the family.

I was often ordered to do work by my second and third uncles.

After talking for a while, Wang Jianjun finally stated his purpose.

"Guangtian, Jie Cheng. I have something to do here, and I want to ask you to help me buy some coal later. I won't let you help me for free, so I'll give you one dollar each for your hard work."

When the two heard that they could get one dollar as a reward, they agreed.

"Don't worry, Jianjun. Leave this to us. Just go and do whatever you need."

"Yes, Jianjun, you can always come to me for this kind of job in the future."

The person who said this was Yan Jiecheng. This guy was quite smart. When he saw that Wang Jianjun was generous, he thought about making some money from him.

"Okay, then I'll leave this to you."

As Wang Jianjun spoke, he handed the bamboo basket used to hold coal to the two men, along with the coal coupons and money.

For him, it is worthwhile to spend some money to save time and trouble.

Mounting his bicycle, Wang Jianjun rode all the way to find his team leader Zhao Fei to deliver the venison.

I found his house according to the address.

Looking at the deer leg in Wang Jianjun's hand, Zhao Fei's face was about to break with laughter.

He also invited Wang Jianjun to stay for dinner.

Wang Jianjun refused directly. It was not possible to just go to someone else's house for a meal these days.

"Jianjun, I won't say anything else. Just call me if you need anything in the future. If I can join Group 1, I will definitely recommend you to be the group leader with Director Wang."

Wang Jianjun made a few polite remarks. He didn't care whether he was the team leader or not, but he would not work as a leader if it took up too much of his time.

With the venison, Zhao Fei took two bottles of Moutai and went to Deputy Director Zhao's house.

He followed the path of Deputy Director Zhao.

Although the two are from the same family, no one will pay attention to you if you don't bring any gifts.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Fei, Wang Jianjun rubbed his stiff hands and prepared to go back to eat hotpot. This winter is a good time to eat hotpot.

Because there were many people on the road today, he rode his bike back without using the teleportation function.

We rode past several military compounds in the western suburbs.

There are many such military compounds in Beijing. They are modeled after the Soviet Union and are specifically provided for the families of military leaders to live in.

There are not only houses and buildings, but also road layouts and living facilities. The only thing missing is a crematorium.

Similar compounds include government compounds, university compounds, factory compounds, etc.

A gathering place for the powerful and wealthy of this era.

Ordinary people cannot enter, and vehicles are not allowed to enter or exit without a pass.

Wang Jianjun wanted to take a shortcut, but was stopped by a man with a gun standing guard at the door.

Wang Jianjun curled his lips. He didn't pay attention when he came here, and now he has to take a detour.

Just as he was about to leave by another route, he caught a glimpse of a young couple standing at the entrance of an alley.

Coincidentally, he knew the woman.

What’s even more coincidental is that he also knew the man.

The girl was the one who had a blind date with Sha Zhu last time and was later poached by Xu Damao.

The man was the young man who had teased Shen Chuxia and was beaten up by herself.

Wang Jianjun was not impressed by him.

It seems to be called something like... Aid to Korea.

This kind of names were very common in that era, just like in later generations there were several people named Zi Han and Zi Xin in the same class.

Even his name, Wang Jianjun, is very common.

Wang Jianjun had no interest in the one called Yuan Chao.

But the woman surprised him a little.

This time, I have seen her three times.

It is surprising that a person who is not even a supporting role in a drama appears so frequently.

There's nothing special about this girl except that she's pretty.

Out of curiosity, Wang Jianjun took out a mask, hat and scarf from the space to disguise himself, then pushed his bicycle over there.

Li Yuanchao on the other side was a little impatient.

He didn't expect Chen Li to come to him again.

He had clearly rejected her before, and now he was only thinking about how to pursue Shen Chuxia.

Chen Li felt a little aggrieved when she saw Li Yuanchao's expression.

"Yuan Chao, why have you been avoiding me all this time?"

"I'm not hiding from you."

"Then why can't I find you all this time? If I hadn't stood here for a few hours today, I don't know how I would have been able to see you."

Chen Li's eyes were a little red when she said this.

If it was Sha Zhu or Xu Damao, they would have comforted him with all their heart and soul.

But Li Yuanchao just turned his head away with an unpleasant expression and said:

"Chen Li, I've told you, I don't like you! It's impossible for us to be together! Don't come to me again! That time it was just a misunderstanding."

Chen Li bit her lip and stared at Li Yuanchao, saying in a trembling voice:

"Yuan Chao... How can you say such a thing! If you don't like me, why did you do that night..."

Before she could finish, Li Yuanchao started to mock her:

"Stop pretending to be pitiful. Don't think I don't know what you are up to. Do you think you can marry into my family just by sleeping with me? Don't dream! And it was you who seduced me that time."

When Chen Li heard this, her face turned pale.

Her red eyes were already filled with tears. She looked at him in disbelief and choked up:

"I didn't... Yuan Chao! I really like you! And I'm pregnant with your child!!"

Hearing this, Li Yuanchao looked at her in surprise.

But then he sneered:

"Chen Li, do you think I will believe you? And even if you are pregnant, how can you prove that the child is mine? Did you get pregnant by sleeping with some other man later?"

Li Yuanchao's words made Chen Li's eyes flash with panic, and she yelled hysterically:

"Li Yuanchao! You bastard! This is the first time for you and me! How dare you slander my character like this!"

Li Yuanchao remained unmoved and continued to taunt:

"Chen Li, stop flattering yourself. Do you dare to say that you approached me not because you were attracted by my family's conditions?

I am going to say this today. In my eyes, Li Yuanchao, you are no different from those women from the Eight Great Hutongs. Don't think you can marry into my family just by relying on your body. Don't ever appear in front of me again.

I don't care whose child is in your belly, I, Li Yuanchao, will not recognize it anyway. Here is some money, you should go to the hospital to get an abortion."

As he spoke, Li Yuanchao took out a handful of money from his pocket and threw it on the ground. Without paying any attention to Chen Li, he turned around and went back to the military compound.

Only Chen Li was left standing there, crying silently.

Wang Jianjun, who was pretending to be a passerby, was shocked.

What the hell!

Is this a scene where a scheming gold digger meets a scumbag?

But this time it's obvious that the scumbag is at a higher level.

Not only did he sleep with this woman for nothing, he didn't even have to take responsibility.
