Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

But the excitement didn't last long, and Qin Huairu realized another problem: after she started working at the steel rolling mill, what would happen to Banggeng, Xiaodang and the baby in her belly?

Banggeng and Xiaodang are still young, and the baby in her belly will be just a baby after it is born. They both need someone to help take care of them. But her evil mother-in-law is now in jail, so there is no one at home to take care of her children.

Originally, Yi Zhonghai wanted Aunt Yi to help him take care of his three children. This was a solution, but now Aunt Yi has discovered that Yi Zhonghai is infertile and has lied to her for more than 20 years, dragging her to her current age. It is impossible for her to remarry and have a child with another man, so she divorced Yi Zhonghai in anger.

Moreover, Aunt Yi publicly stated that she would never take care of the children for her, which put Qin Huairu in a difficult position again.

Although Qin Huairu also thought that at worst she could spend some money every month to hire some idle aunties in the yard to help her take care of the three children, but did she have the money? Obviously not!

Even if she joined the factory to take over, she could only start as an apprentice with a salary of only 18.5 yuan per month. She could only be promoted to a regular employee after a year, and even then she could only get a salary of 22 yuan.

Even if she could be promoted to a first-level worker soon, the salary would be 27.5 yuan at best. She has to support a family of four with this salary, and it would be good enough to just have enough to eat. How could she afford to hire someone to help look after her children?

So Qin Huairu was suddenly at a loss again, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Lin Geng didn't care whether Qin Huairu was embarrassed or not! He was in a very good mood now. In such a short period of time, his enemies were unlucky one after another. Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and the old deaf man all fell from the altar. Whether in the courtyard or on the street, even in the steel mill, they became rats crossing the street. They were punished and their work grades were downgraded.

Yi Zhonghai was even more troubled by him, and his wife divorced him. Jia Dongxu, whom he treated as his godson, was left dead. Sha Zhu was pulled into his camp. This old guy has become a lonely man at his age. Now he has no food or clothing. He has to go to Qin Huairu for meals, otherwise he has to cook for himself or go hungry.

Now Liu Haizhong's family members Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian have been pulled to his side and have become his loyal dogs. They are against Liu Haizhong all day long, which makes Liu Haizhong very angry. However, he dare not beat them or starve them like before. He can only be helpless and furious, and is so angry that he is neither alive nor dead.

Liu Guangqi was about to graduate from secondary technical school, but he was given a serious warning and the warning was recorded in his file. It would be difficult for him to be assigned a job in the future. He had a sad face, as if his parents had died, and his brows were gloomy. His once bright future now became bleak.

The old deaf woman is not having a good life now. In the past, relying on her age, Yi Zhonghai treated her like the ancestor of the courtyard and acted arrogantly in the courtyard. But now she has been humiliated by him and her past has been exposed, causing her to fall from the altar and become a lonely old woman who is disliked by everyone. Now she hides in her house every day, acting like a turtle and dares not show her head.

In the past, it was Li Xiangyun who took care of her, washed her, cleaned up her excrement and urine, and brought her meals every day. Now Li Xiangyun has divorced Yi Zhonghai because she hated the old deaf man who helped Yi Zhonghai spread rumors that she was sick and could not have children. Now she refuses to take care of her anymore. Yi Zhonghai himself has to go to Qin Huairu's house for meals, and she can only hide in her old nest in the backyard, and find a way to cook some porridge with pickles to barely fill her stomach. Her life will be difficult from now on!

The person who suffered the least was probably Qin Huairu. Apart from forcing her to return the money she and Sha Zhu had, on the surface Qin Huairu seemed to have suffered no losses. But in fact, the image of a good daughter-in-law that Qin Huairu had worked so hard to create in the courtyard collapsed after this incident.

Now everyone in the yard knows that Qin Huairu is a scheming bitch. She has been cheating Sha Zhu's money and also cheating many men in the yard. She is a restless woman and definitely not the good wife that everyone thought she was before.

So now all the wives in the courtyard are keeping a close eye on their husbands, fearing that their husbands will be seduced by Qin Huairu and cheated of their money. So in the future, if Qin Huairu wants to display her tea art and take advantage of others in this courtyard, it will probably be much more difficult.

In addition to the collapse of her character, Qin Huairu actually became a beneficiary. He sent Jia Zhang to prison, and there was one less mountain hanging over Qin Huairu's head. Jia Dongxu is now also imprisoned, and no one will be able to control her in the future. From now on, she can let herself go and no longer be bullied by Jia Zhang. In fact, her life may be better than before, at least she will suffer less from the old hag Jia Zhang.

However, Lin Geng did not plan to continue to deal with Qin Huairu. He still had a conscience and could not force Qin Huairu to death. After all, she was a widow and had to support three children. Even if Banggeng, Xiaodang and the unborn Huaihua would become ungrateful people in the future, that was targeting Shazhu, not him. There was no need for him to force the four of them to death.

As long as Qin Huairu behaves herself in the future and doesn't provoke him or try to target Sha Zhu again, he doesn't mind letting this woman go.

Just after the factory made the decision on how to deal with Jia Dongxu's accidental death, Qin Huairu received the 300 yuan pension from the factory and quickly arranged Jia Dongxu's funeral. Because the Jia family now had a very bad reputation in the courtyard and no one was willing to help them, Jia Dongxu's funeral was hastily handled. They found a place to bury Jia Dongxu, leaving only a portrait hanging on the wall of the Jia family.

After that, the courtyard became quiet. Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong became very low-key. They got up early in the morning and took turns cleaning the yard and the street. When they went to the factory, they also cleaned the toilets in the sanitation team. When they came back from get off work in the evening, they had to clean the public toilets outside the courtyard. They dealt with feces and urine every day, and had to go to the street office for education every week, which made the two old guys miserable.

The key point is not that the work is dirty and tiring, but what they can't stand the most is the gap in status. They used to be respected senior workers in the factory, and the factory leaders, workshop directors, and fellow workers all looked up to them.

But now, no matter where they appear, as long as they are recognized, there will be people pointing fingers at them behind their backs, or even sneering at them in front of them. When the factory leaders see them, they are even more disgusted and look down on them.

Xu Damao, a typical villain, is now very happy about the fate of these two old beasts. He would rather go far away than near to run to the toilet they are responsible for cleaning to mock them every day. He also deliberately urinates outside the toilet or poops outside the squat toilet, making the toilet very dirty, and yells at Yi Zhonghai or Liu Haizhong to clean it quickly.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he wanted to kill Xu Damao, but they didn't dare to. They could only endure it despite being so angry.

This made the two old guys very sad. They felt that life was worse than death, but they were powerless to resist. If they really couldn't make up their minds to kill themselves, the two old guys really felt that there was no hope in life.

In order to avoid punishment, Liu Guangqi followed his father to clean the courtyard and public toilets, and hid in school and would not come back easily. However, it was said that he did not have a good time in school. Somehow, the news that he bullied the orphans of martyrs at home spread around the school, and his classmates who used to have a good relationship with him distanced themselves from him and completely isolated him.

In addition to being isolated, he was often pointed at and ridiculed by his classmates, and was even beaten up several times by his classmates. Even if he told the teachers after being beaten, the school leaders and teachers ignored his complaints, which made his life in school very sad.

If Liu Guangqi hadn't been counting on getting a job after graduation, he would have almost given up and chosen to drop out of school.
