Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Chapter 8 Compensation Received

The Jia family is having a great time.

Yi Zhonghai was not prepared to get involved.

He has only one thought in his mind now.

Is the elderly care provider I found reliable?

To be honest, although Jia Dongxu has various shortcomings, he has one advantage that Yi Zhonghai values ​​most.

That is filial piety.

Originally, Yi Zhonghai always thought that Jia Dongxu could be filial even to a shrew like Jia Zhang.

Then when I get old in the future, Jia Dongxu will definitely take care of me.

But today's events made Yi Zhonghai see different possibilities.

As long as Jia Zhang is around, it will be questionable whether Yi Zhonghai can enjoy his retirement in peace.

Unconsciously, Yi Zhonghai began to question Jia Dongxu as the number one candidate for retirement care.

Yi Zhonghai just returned home with a lot on his mind, and he saw the old lady sitting in his house chatting with an aunt Zhao Guilan.

"The old lady is here. Why did she come to my place so late instead of sleeping?"

The deaf old lady saw Yi Zhonghai and said with a smile:

"Why? Don't you welcome an old woman like me?"

Yi Zhonghai is good at cultivating his Qi, and although he has a lot on his mind, he still greets them with a smile:

"No way, I'm just curious, don't you usually go to bed at this time? Guilan, go get the old lady a glass of water."

The deaf old lady reached out and pressed Zhao Guilan's hand and said:

"No need, I, an old woman, just came over to talk to you and then leave."

Then he looked at Yi Zhonghai and said:

"Zhong Hai, I just heard from Gui Lan about what happened in the backyard. The crying sound from the Jia family just now, I think Miss Zhang is making some trouble again."

Yi Zhonghai laughed awkwardly:

"Old lady, you also know what kind of temper Dongxu's mother has. Please pay attention to her."

The deaf old lady sighed and looked at Zhao Guilan and said:

"Zhong Hai, old lady, let me say something unpleasant. You are not as good as me in judging people. I have said before that your apprentice is not a suitable person to take care of your parents. Although he is filial, he is easily influenced. Miss Zhang may not let Dongxu take care of you in your old age. Old lady, what I said is unpleasant, but I feel sorry for you and your wife for taking care of me for so many years. I still have to say a few words."

Yi Zhonghai was silent. Before, he would have made some excuses.

But after what happened today, he began to lack confidence.

"But old lady, I have paid so much over the years, I am unwilling to change you. Besides, is there anyone in our hospital more suitable than Dongxu?"

The deaf old lady calmly pointed in the direction of the main house in the middle courtyard and said:

"Zhong Hai, how come you forgot about the pillar?"

When Yi Zhonghai heard the old lady mention He Yuzhu, he was a little hesitant.

"Old lady, you know Zhuzi's temper. Why do I feel he is unreliable when you ask him to take care of me in my old age?"

Although Yi Zhonghai also had plans for Sha Zhu, he only treated He Yuzhu as a spare tire for his retirement.

In his opinion, He Yuzhu was foul-mouthed and had a bad temper. Apart from his decent cooking skills, he had no other advantages.

At present, He Yuzhu is just his tool and thug.

If we consider him as a candidate for retirement support, his status is not as good as Wang Jianjun before he joined the army.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai didn't think highly of Sha Zhu, the old lady knocked the ground with her cane in dissatisfaction and said:

"Zhuzi is a good kid, and his father He Daqing is in Bao and can't come back. As long as you can be sincere to Zhuzi, Zhuzi will definitely be willing to support you in your old age.

As for temper, a man's temper will become more stable once he finds a wife. And if you help Zhuzi find a wife, he will remember your kindness in the future, right? "

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was also somewhat tempted.

He looked in the direction of the main house and then in the direction of the Jia family, then said:

"I have heard what you said, old lady. Please let me think about this matter first."

The deaf old lady was not in a hurry either. She knew that with Yi Zhonghai's intelligence, he would definitely know what to choose.

Then she exchanged a few words of greeting and slowly walked to the backyard on her crutches.

After the deaf old lady left, the aunt brought a basin of hot water to Yi Zhonghai and helped him wash up before asking:

"Master, what do you think of what the old lady said?"

Yi Zhonghai washed his face, leaned back in his chair and sighed:

"I haven't thought about it yet, and you know what Zhuzi's temper is like."

"Why don't we introduce a date to Zhuzi? The old lady is right. This child will be sensible once he gets married. Look at those married men in the courtyard. They were all impulsive before marriage, but they became much more stable after marriage."

When Yi Zhonghai heard his wife say this, he felt a little moved.

"Okay, then go ask Sister Liu's matchmakers tomorrow to see if there's anyone suitable and we'll introduce one to Zhuzi. I'll talk to Zhuzi about this tomorrow, too."

Wang Jianjun didn't know that so many things had happened in the hospital during the time he was away.

When he returned to the courtyard, the door of the courtyard was closed, but only half-open.

The Siheyuan usually closes around nine o'clock in the evening.

The one in charge of closing the door is the third uncle.

This is the only thing Yan Bugui has done that makes him feel respected among the three uncles.

As for if someone needs to go to the Pigeon Market to exchange things in the middle of the night, they need to send someone to guard the door.

Wang Jianjun took out some of the things he had bought from the space and walked into the courtyard.

At this time, most of the lights in the courtyard were turned off.

Those who have wives have long gone to bed with their wives to play two-player games.

Those who don’t have a wife can only hold their pillow and hope that Zhou Gong will send them a wife.

One of the few houses with lights still on was the Jia family and the other was the Yi Zhonghai family.

These two families were obviously waiting for him to come back.

Wang Jianjun carried his things and walked towards the backyard.

He knew that someone from these two companies must be paying attention to him.

The Jia family was very efficient. When Wang Jianjun arrived at the backyard, he saw that his two rooms had been cleared out.

Including the room that was originally full of junk. I guess the neighbors in the yard got the news and moved out while I was away.

Nowadays, most people are reluctant to throw away any broken furniture.

I lit the newly bought kerosene lamp and checked the house.

The hygiene was very good, and it should have been done by Qin Huairu.

Jia Zhangshi is such a lazy person that she basically left all the housework to Qin Huairu.

As soon as Wang Jianjun finished his inspection, he heard Yi Zhonghai calling him outside the door.

As soon as I went out, I saw Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu waiting for me there.

Jia Dongxu was glaring at him with undisguised hatred on his face, and Yi Zhonghai's expression wasn't looking very good either.

Wang Jianjun didn't care. Being glared at wouldn't hurt anyone.

What's more, these two people came to give me money, so I should be more generous.

Wang Jianjun directly reached out and asked:

"Uncle, where is the money you promised me?"

Yi Zhonghai was too lazy to argue with Wang Jianjun anymore and handed him a bag of money wrapped in old newspaper.

"Here are the 250 yuan. You can choose it yourself. As for the lock, I guess you don't trust someone else to buy it, so the extra three yuan is for you."

Wang Jianjun was not polite and took the money and started counting it under the dim kerosene lamp.

After confirming that it was correct, he put the money back into his arms, actually taking the opportunity to put it into his own space.
