Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

After He Daqing finished his meal at Zhang Renkang's house, he went to Yi Zhonghai's house in the middle courtyard. He knocked on the door and an old lady opened the door and came in. She saw Yi Zhonghai sitting on the kang eating and nodded. Yi Zhonghai asked

"When did Daqing come back? Have you eaten yet? Sit down and eat together."

He Daqing shook his head and said in a low voice

"I came back by bus this afternoon, and we just had dinner together at Zhang Renkang's place."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said

"The food there is good. I heard that he bought some meat and ribs in the afternoon."

He Daqing nodded and said

"Yes, I stewed the pork ribs for Yu Shui. I feel relieved to entrust Yu Shui to him."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said

"Old lady, go get me my bottle of wine, let's have a drink together."

An old lady took out a bottle of Fenjiu from a cabinet on the side, and Yi Zhonghai poured it for He Daqing and said,

"Have a drink. Xu Fugui will come over early tomorrow morning and we will discuss with him what to do."

He Daqing drank two taels of liquor from the cup and said

"You said this idiot Zhu, can't you let me off my guard? Xu Fugui doesn't know how to let idiot Zhu go this time."

Yi Zhonghai drank it in one gulp and then added more for the two of them.

"Daqing, I'm afraid Xu Damao is really inhumane this time. You also know what this means to us."

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I haven't had a successor for so many years. Do you know how sad I am?"

He Daqing nodded, drank the wine in the cup in one gulp and said

"I understand. I hope Xu Fugui won't be too cruel."

Yi Zhonghai said after drinking

"Xu Damao, if you don't pay three to five thousand, Xu Fugui will not let Zhu go."

He Daqing hammered his head in annoyance and said

"Where would I get the money? After sending the living expenses of Shazhu's brother and sister, the White Widow and I only have enough to spend in Baocheng. The White Widow only earns three or five yuan a month from sewing. How could she be willing to take out the money she saved for her son? Even if she is willing, the three or five hundred yuan would not be enough."

Now He Daqing knew that the only thing he had was Sha Zhu's 1,000 yuan from He Yushui, which was also paid by Yi Zhonghai last time. He Daqing knew that Sha Zhu's own money had been thrown to the Jia family.

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said

"Daqing, I think Zhuzi is the biggest one. I'll give you another 500 this time. This is all I can afford. You know my situation. I only have a level 6 salary now, and I'm still saving some money for my retirement."

He Daqing nodded and said

"Lao Yi, I appreciate your kindness, I respect you"

Then he poured himself and Yi Zhonghai a cup of wine and drank it. Yi Zhonghai said

"You can only sell the two main rooms and the side room next to me now. I estimate that the two main rooms of more than 60 square meters (more than 30 square meters each) can be sold for 700 to 800 yuan, and the side room can also be sold for 200 to 300 yuan, which is more than 1,000 yuan."

He Daqing thought about it for a while, and added He Yushui's one thousand, Yi Zhonghai's five hundred now amounted to about two thousand seven or eight hundred. He didn't know whether the Xu family was willing or not. He Daqing smiled bitterly and said,

"How many people are willing to pay for a house now? Besides, they have to bargain hard for the price at this time."

He Daqing was right. Yan Bugui was also discussing this with the third aunt at home. Yan Bugui said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"When He Daqing comes back, he must raise money to help Sha Zhu get out of prison. Sha Zhu probably hasn't saved much money over the years, and he gave it all to the Jia family. Last time, Yi Zhonghai seemed to have compensated Sha Zhu with 1,000 yuan. I don't think the Xu family would accept 1,000 yuan, so He Daqing can only sell his house to raise money now."

The three aunts said quietly

"Old Yan, the two main rooms in Shazhu's hands are not cheap. One room must cost at least 400 yuan. Moreover, the main rooms are connected to each other. If you want to buy them together, you have to buy them together. It will cost at least 800 yuan."

Yan Bugui said with a smile

"The only ones who are short of houses in the courtyard right now are us and the Liu family. Liu Haizhong's two sons will have to get married in the future, and our eldest and second sons are also old enough. He Daqing is in urgent need of money now. As long as Liu Haizhong doesn't raise the price with us, I estimate that 600 yuan can buy two main rooms, and then we can separate them."

Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang also said excitedly

"Yes, Mom, this is a good deal."

The three aunts thought about it and said

"We only have over 700 yuan, so we won't have enough money to buy a house."

Yan Bugui said to Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang

"Big brother, second brother, after we buy the house, you two can deduct the money from your work wages, 400 each, until the money for the house is deducted."

Yan Jiefang didn't care. He still needed more than a year to find a job before he became an adult. Yan Jiecheng thought about it and gritted his teeth.

"Okay, I'll pay then."

Yan Jiecheng thought that if he didn't hurry up and finalize it now, he didn't know whether Yan Bugui would be willing to pay next time. Last time, it was because he had no job and no house that Yu Li fell in love with Zhang Renkang and ran away. This time, he had to settle the house issue first, and he could talk about paying the salary later.

Liu Haizhong didn't think too much about it. He had just saved more than 400 or 500 yuan in the past two years. He had saved more than 1,000 yuan in the past few years to help his eldest son Liu Guangqi get married, buy a bicycle, and spend a lot of money on the wedding banquet. As a result, this bastard took advantage of Liu Haizhong's drunkenness in the middle of the night, took the remaining money and ran away with the new wife to become a live-in son-in-law. Liu Haizhong was so angry that he didn't recover for a month. As for what Liu Haizhong had in mind for his second and third sons, that didn't exist.

Yi Zhonghai said quietly

"The old lady doesn't have two rooms. If not, go and talk to her and ask her to move to the side room on the rainy side. It will be more convenient to take care of her."

He Daqing nodded and thought it was okay. Together with the old lady's two houses, the main house in the backyard could almost satisfy Xu Fugui's appetite. But who should he find to buy it? There are not many people who can afford to buy a house nearby. Most of them are fourth-level workers. Third-level workers can't even save a hundred yuan a year. Where can they get the spare money to buy a house?

He Daqing suddenly thought that the only one who could come up with the money was probably Zhang Renkang. This kid only earned a little over 100 yuan a month, and his parents probably left him at least 1,000 or 2,000 yuan. He ate a lot of meat and fish every day, so he must be well off. Besides, if Sha Zhu wanted to take care of the police station after getting the letter of apology, he would have to rely on him. But it was hard to say whether Zhang Renkang had the intention to buy a house. He already had two side rooms, and I heard that his girlfriend also got another one, so he might not be short of a house.

After thinking for a long time, He Daqing decided to wait until tomorrow to have a good talk with Xu Fugui and see what Xu Fugui's appetite is.

After drinking half a bottle of wine with Yi Zhonghai, He Daqing returned to Sha Zhu's room and fell asleep. He had been exhausted all day and was so tired that he didn't want to care about anything anymore.

Jia Zhang said to Qin Huairu fiercely

"Zhang Renkang is a bastard, a little beast, and a family that will never have any descendants."

"Ouch, you almost kicked me to death today"

Qin Huairu frowned and said

"Mom, didn't I tell you to stay away from him? Why did you go to provoke him? Don't you know what the relationship between our family and him is?"

"If you insist on letting him plot against our Jia family, you will be happy if he fires me from the factory."

Jia Zhang muttered

"How could I know that this little bastard would suddenly attack? He is not afraid of being arrested like Sha Zhu."

"How dare you say that? We haven't eaten meat in a long time. It's because you are incompetent. Look at how thin my eldest grandson has become."

Bang Geng became excited when he heard Jia Zhang talk about eating meat, and shouted

"Mom, when are we going to eat meat? I haven't had meat for more than a month."

Qin Huairu said helplessly

"Where can we get the money to buy meat? We don't even have enough food to eat."

The stick terrier is willing, howling

"I want to eat meat, you buy me meat"

"There's meat in the backyard, go get it."

Qin Huairu stood up angrily and was about to slap him, but Jia Zhang unreasonably protected the stick and said

"My eldest grandson is right. Zhang Renkang is a little bastard. He eats all the delicious food at home and doesn't help orphans and widows. He will be extinct sooner or later."

"Qin Huairu, I saw him carrying more than ten kilograms of meat this afternoon. Go and ask for a piece. If she doesn't give it to you, you can just stay at his house."

Qin Huairu said impatiently

"If you still want to go, go by yourself. I won't go. If I piss off Zhang Renkang, he'll really get me fired from the factory."

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and said

"You said Sha Zhu was fired this time. Was it Zhang Renkang's fault? This is not the first time he and Xu Damao have fought. Why was he fired this time?"

Qin Huairu thought about it and said

"It's hard to say. This time, Sha Zhu beat Xu Damao too hard. The factory probably used him as an example. But Sha Zhu and Zhang Renkang don't get along, so it's not ruled out that Zhang Renkang said something."

Jia Zhang sighed and said

"Qin Huairu, you have to think of a solution. I think it's useless for Shazhu to come back even if he is not shot this time. What should we do with our family? You have to think of a solution."

Qin Huairu thought

"How about letting Qin Jingru give it a try?"

Jia Zhang snorted coldly and said

"Do you think Zhang Renkang is stupid? That guy named Yu whatsoever is at least a city resident with a food allowance and is handsome. How could he be crazy to marry a country girl?"

Qin Huairu sighed and said

"What can I do? I'm already middle-aged, how can Zhang Renkang be interested in me? He's not stupid, there are many young girls who are interested in him."

Jia Zhang said with a spit.

"Qin Huairu, you really miss Zhang Renkang, you shameless little bitch"

Qin Huairu hummed and thought, if I were born ten years later, I would have something to do with your Jia family. I really like Zhang Renkang, and turned around and said

"Mom, what do you think about letting Banggeng recognize Yi Zhonghai as his godfather?"

"Anyway, Dongxu is his apprentice, so Banggeng should be his grand-apprentice. When Banggeng grows up, he can go to the factory to take over his job."

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes. Before, there was still Sha Zhu, so there was no need to climb the pole to climb Yi Zhonghai. Now, she really needs to think carefully about it. Doesn't Yi Zhonghai just want to find someone to take care of him in his old age? Before, it was Jia Dongxu, and now it's not impossible to let Bang Geng, Jia Zhang said.

"Let me think about it. There's no rush these few days. Let's wait and see how things go. If it doesn't work, then this is the only way."

As the Jia family spoke, they began to prepare for bed.
