Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Aunt Yi sneered, put on her clothes, looked at Yi Zhonghai coldly and said, "Since you asked, then I will talk to you in detail!

Old Yi, do you remember that I have been advising you a long time ago to stop interfering in the affairs of the Jia family? I told you a long time ago that Jia Dongxu is not a suitable person to take care of the elderly. With his mother's temper, how good can you expect Jia Dongxu to be?

But did you listen? You didn't! As soon as I told you, you got angry with me! What's so good about the mother and son of the Jia family that you can't let go? You helped the Jia family so much, but did Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi accept your kindness?

No way! The Jia family mother and son clearly have so much money saved at home. Whenever they run out of food, they come to our house to ask for it! They ask for it with a clear conscience!

As long as there is something that does not satisfy Jia Zhang, she will scold you for being an old and widowed man, and scold me for being a hen that can't lay eggs! Did Jia Dongxu ever say that to his mother? This is the old man you chose!

I have advised you long ago to be nice to Zhuzi, don't always bully Zhuzi for his honest heart, don't count on Zhuzi to help you and the Jia family, did you listen? You treated Zhuzi as a fool, letting Zhuzi use his salary to subsidize the Jia family, do you think I don't know that it was you who gave the Jia family advice, using Zhuzi's secret love for Qin Huairu, letting Qin Huairu hook Zhuzi, and cheating Zhuzi's money.

What happened now? What did you get? Because of the Jia family, you lost your job and were arrested by the police for a week. If you hadn't paid Xiao Lin two thousand yuan, you would have spent at least ten years in prison! You might even have to eat peanuts!

Zhuzi has also figured out that you, the Jia family, and that young widow are playing him for a fool and using him as a weapon, and now he has turned against you! Is this the result of your calculations for so many years?

I have long advised you to adopt one or two orphans. There were so many orphans in the orphanage run by the subdistrict office a few years ago, and many of them were orphans of martyrs. If we adopt one or two, they would be at least ten years old by now, right? In a few years, we can take over your job, or arrange a job for them!

But whenever I mentioned adopting a child, you got angry with me, thinking only of taking advantage of what was already available. You were possessed by evil spirits and had set your sights on Jia Dongxu, a hopeless piece of shit! Now, Jia Dongxu is not up to the task, messing around in the factory, and ruining himself. What have you got?

Jia Dongxu finally died, you should have stopped worrying! But Jia Dongxu just died, and you were still running around for Qin Huairu, spending money and effort to help her!

It's fine if you want me to follow you and help the Jia family like before! I just want to ask you today, what are your plans? Are you interested in Qin Huairu and Banggeng, and are you thinking about letting Qin Huairu and Banggeng take care of you in your old age?"

Aunt Yi looked at Yi Zhonghai coldly and said to him.

Yi Zhonghai looked at his wife's gloomy face and couldn't help but feel nervous. Recalling what his wife had said to him over the years, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

His wife had indeed told him many times a long time ago that Jia Dongxu was not a suitable person to take care of them in their old age. Jia Dongxu was a man of evil intentions, lazy and idle, and had inherited all the bad habits of Jia Zhang. On the surface, he seemed to be respectful to them, but in fact, he was also plotting against them.

Jia Dongxu knew very well that his family was rich and that Jia Zhang had saved so much money, but whenever they ran out of food, he would shamelessly come to them to "borrow" as if it was a matter of course. Sometimes he gave them corn flour or mixed flour, but they were still unhappy. Jia Zhang would even curse at them, saying that they were stingy and asked for white flour.

But in all these years, when has he ever given them a pound of food? During festivals, other people would give gifts to their masters to show their filial piety to them, but they were different. Every year during the New Year, Jia Dongxu would come empty-handed and ask them for food and money, saying that he had no money to celebrate the New Year.

So his wife often told him that Jia Dongxu was not a suitable person for retirement and asked him to be nicer to Sha Zhu.

But at that time he had already invested a lot in Jia Dongxu and was reluctant to give up. He scolded his wife for this and did not listen to her at all.

What his wife said was actually right. In the end, she saw very clearly that Jia Dongxu was indeed not a suitable person for retirement. Not only had he not brought him any benefits, but now he had been brought into disgrace because of the Jia family. After running the factory and the courtyard for so many years, the image he had worked so hard to build up had completely collapsed. He lost his job as a big boss and even was demoted to an eighth-level worker.

Even Sha Zhu had become his enemy and was now completely out of his control, treating him like an enemy.

It can be said that he lost everything in the matter of choosing a pension partner. He lost everything and didn't even have anything left. For the sake of the Jia family, the loss was so heavy that he couldn't bear it. He lost an unknown amount of money, and the key point was that he even lost his face because of the Jia family. Now, whether he was in the courtyard or in the factory, he was like a rat crossing the street.

Yi Zhonghai was immediately hit hard by his wife's words. Looking at his wife's cold expression, he even saw a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, which made Yi Zhonghai very uncomfortable, so he staggered and fell into a chair behind him.

But what kind of person is Yi Zhonghai? He thinks he is a very smart person with a very strong self-esteem. No matter what time, he will not easily admit that he is wrong, even if it is a fait accompli, he will not easily admit his mistakes. Otherwise, when he met with Director Yang, he would not have refused to admit his mistakes and tried to forcefully defend himself, which finally angered Director Yang and severely punished him.

So even if what his wife said today was right, Yi Zhonghai still did not admit that he was wrong. Even if he was hit hard, he still refused to admit his mistake.

So he looked up at his wife, his face darkened, and he snorted coldly, "What can a woman like you know? It's just bad luck! Who could have thought that Dongxu would have such a thing, and died so early!

I am Dongxu's master. Dongxu has just passed away. As Dongxu's master, how can I just sit there and watch? My reputation is already bad enough. If I sit there and watch, not caring about Dongxu's affairs after his death, how will the people in the courtyard look at me?

Wouldn't they call me a mean person? How can I survive in the factory in the future? What will those apprentices think of me? You are a woman with long hair and little knowledge, what do you know? I am planning for the future!

Now Dongxu is gone, and Jia Zhang has been sent to prison by that little beast named Lin. She will definitely not be able to get out in a short time. Qin Huairu is the only orphan and widow left in the Jia family. How can I just sit back and ignore them?

Qin Huairu is a filial daughter-in-law. Look at how her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, treats her. Jia Dongxu also beats and scolds her all the time. Over the years, when has Huairu ever contradicted Jia Zhang or had a fight with Dongxu?

This is what I think. Now Dongxu is gone and Jia Zhang has been locked up. I guess the possibility of her getting out alive is not very high. With her bad temper, she will be beaten to death sooner or later in prison!

In this case, only Qin Huairu is left with Banggeng, Xiaodang, and the baby in her belly. If we treat her well now, with Qin Huairu's filial nature, will she not provide for us in the future? And Banggeng, when he grows up, I will retire and leave my work place to him. Wouldn't Banggeng be grateful to me and be filial to us?

So next, I tried to find a way to let Qin Huairu take over Dongxu's job. You help her take care of the children, and I will take her in as my apprentice and lower her work level. She has no relatives in the factory or in the city, so she can only rely on me for help.

Even though I have a bad reputation now, my skills are still there. There are only a few of us who are level 8 workers in the factory. Sooner or later, many precision workpieces in the factory will need me. As long as I perform well, it won’t be long before I can regain my foothold in the factory and gain respect! ..."
