Soul of the Siheyuan: Zhuzi, I can still give birth

"revenge!!"

When the three uncles heard Xu Fugui talk about revenge on Sha Zhu, they all said in unison that this was too unbelievable.

"Yes, revenge on Sha Zhu, make him stay in the courtyard and behave himself."

After hearing Xu Fugui's words, the three uncles stood up at the same time and were about to say goodbye.

Seeing the three uncles about to leave, Xu Fugui hurriedly grabbed them.

"What are you doing, gentlemen? You were eating peacefully, but now you want to leave? Sit down, please. Tell me what's going on."

The second uncle said at this time.

"Fugui, you have been away from the courtyard for a while. This He Yuzhu is no longer the silly Shazhu he used to be. The three of us have fought with him several times, but we didn't gain any advantage at all."

The third uncle also spoke.

"Yes, not only did the thousands of dollars that an old man had saved for decades go completely gone, but he also couldn't even keep his two houses."

"We three uncles are each responsible for a poor family in the courtyard. For this reason, our three families have to pay a lot more for food every month."

The third uncle said, pretend to be pitiful.

The second uncle ruthlessly exposed him.

"Third uncle, it seems that Uncle Deng in the front yard didn't ask for your help. You are the only one who treats a few broken sweet potatoes as treasures."

"Why, sweet potatoes are not food? Don't stop using bean curd as dry food. During the natural disaster a few years ago, some people even ate Guanyin soil."

The third uncle immediately refuted the second uncle.

Just as the two uncles were arguing, Yi Zhonghai said to Xu Fugui.

"Old Xu, forget it. Our courtyard is still quite harmonious now. I advise you not to provoke Sha Zhu, lest you end up losing both the wife and the army."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai walked out of the Xu family.

Now that Qin Huairu is pregnant, he doesn't want to create any more trouble. His greatest wish is to have his own son to take care of him in his old age.

Instead of being the behind-the-scenes boss of a small courtyard house, this position can only allow you to show off, but there are no other benefits.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai leaving, Liu Haizhong thought for a moment, then stood up and left.

Although he also wanted to have a good relationship with Xu Fugui, and then through Mr. Lou, he could move to a higher level.

However, Mr. Lou is now only an honorary chairman without real power, and his control over the Red Star Steel Mill has long been hollowed out.

He Yuzhu is the logistics director of the steel rolling mill, which is a powerful position. He has a say in the factory and cannot be offended.

Liu Haizhong patted Xu Fugui on the shoulder and said.

"Listen to the advice, eat your fill, and don't provoke Director He."

After that, he left.

The third uncle looked at the table full of food. Although he wanted to stay, his daughter-in-law, Yu Li, was working under He Yuzhu.

If she really offended him, Yu Li might lose her job, so she stood up and left.

When he reached the door, he turned back and took the garlic he had brought with him.

Seeing the three uncles like this, Xu Fugui was helpless.

Originally, they could have competed with Sha Zhu by joining forces with the three uncles, but unexpectedly, these three uncles have become Sha Zhu's lackeys.

Qin Jingru said to Xu's father and mother at this time.

"Mom and Dad, you'd better not fight with Sha Zhu. During this period of time, he has made everyone in the courtyard obedient. No one dares to come out and cause trouble."

Just kidding, the baby in my belly is He Yuzhu's. After all, he is the biological father of the child. I should say a few good words for him if I have the chance.

But I don't know whether her words will have any effect.

Sure enough, Qin Jingru's words were not heard by Xu's father and mother.

"Okay, Jingru, the adults are talking, it's none of your business. Eat and go to bed early, don't worry about our business."

After saying this, Mr. Xu walked out of the house, and Mrs. Xu followed him out, leaving Qin Jingru alone at home to eat.

After leaving the house, Xu's parents gathered together and whispered to each other about the reason.

"Boss, what should we do? Should we deal with the stupid Zhu?"

Mother Xu looked at Father Xu, who had a worried look on his face, and asked cautiously.

Father Xu took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff.

"Let's take a look first, but this stupid Zhu doesn't look easy to deal with. Let's make a long-term plan. Let's go back and eat first."

In this way, the plan against He Yuzhu failed.

The courtyard returned to peace again, but this peace did not last long.

At the end of 1962, a man returned to the courtyard.

This was the first snow in 62. Large flakes of snow fluttered down, making the entire city look like it was painted white.

Ran Qiuye’s due date is approaching, just a few days away.

For safety reasons, He Yuzhu sent Ran Qiuye directly to the hospital.

The Ran family was opposed to this.

Staying in the hospital costs one dollar and fifty cents a day, and we don't know how long we'll stay there, so isn't it a waste of money?

"Zhu Zi, we know you can make money, but it would be a waste of money if you spend it. Anyway, the due date of the baby has not arrived yet, so we will stay at home. If you are busy, we can just look after Qiu Ye."

Ran's mother was stingy with money. It was more than one dollar a day, which was a day's salary.

He Yuzhu and He Yushui smiled at each other.

He Yuzhu comforted Ran's father and mother.

"Mom and Dad, you don't have to worry about money. It won't cost much anyway. In my heart, even a huge fortune can't buy Qiu Ye's safety."

"The medical staff in the hospital can take care of Qiu Ye at any time. If there is an emergency, it will be too late to regret. Listen to me and stay in the hospital first."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Ran's father and mother no longer insisted. What is more important than people?

In this way, Ran Qiuye was admitted to the hospital without knowing how much time in advance.

In order to prevent her from being bored, He Yuzhu moved the television into the hospital. This allowed several patients in the same ward to gain some new experiences and they were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

It was also their first time watching TV up close, and they were all extremely happy.

The family members also treated Ran Qiuye, who was in the same ward, as their ancestor. They didn't need He Yuzhu and others to do anything and they all rushed to help.

Just to watch more TV.

He Yuzhu was also happy with this, as it saved him a lot of trouble.

Ran's mother would bring meals to Ran Qiuye at the hospital every day.

Qin Huairu's belly also became bulging, but her relationship with Yi Zhonghai has been a little tense recently.

Qin Huairu already knew that Yi Zhonghai had been demoted. Fifty-odd yuan a month sounded like a lot.

But for the Jia family, which has a lot of problems, there is not much money left every month.

Ever since Qin Huairu became pregnant, Yi Zhonghai never left a penny of his own money for himself, and all his salary was handed over to Qin Huairu.

Even so, Qin Huairu became more and more disgusted with Yi Zhonghai's attitude.

Seeing He Yuzhu step by step rise from a stinky cook to the logistics director, Qin Huairu was extremely jealous of Ran Qiuye.

Although she was dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai, she did not show it.

She needed Yi Zhonghai to raise herself and her three children, and even the unborn baby in her belly.

Although Yi Zhonghai's salary decreased, the Jia family's living standards did not decline.

Banggeng and Xiaodang eat better than other children of their age, so they are much taller than other children of their age.

Especially Bang Geng, who looks chubby just like in his previous life.

However, Banggeng's attitude towards Yi Zhonghai is still hostile.

I don't know where he gets so much temper from.

Unlike Banggeng, Xiaodang is quite close to Yi Zhonghai. After all, he is young and doesn't have so many thoughts.

Little Huaihua is already over one year old and is growing into a chubby and strong boy.

Because of her big belly, Qin Huairu could no longer continue to work. She asked Guo Dapiaozi for maternity leave, but was rejected by Guo Dapiaozi.

"Qin Huairu, how can you ask for maternity leave after only six months? Look who is as squeamish as you."

Seeing that Guo Dapiaozi refused, Qin Huairu looked around and saw that her fellow workers were all working seriously and no one noticed them.

So Qin Huairu leaned on Guo Dapiezi and said coquettishly.

"How can you be like this? The child in your belly is yours, and you have the heart to see the child suffer with it?"

Guo Dapie pinched Qin Huairu's chin and said with disdain.

"Come on, you probably don't even know whose baby you're carrying. Don't treat me as a fool. Of the ten men you've had relationships with, at least eight would believe you, and only that fool Yi Zhonghai would believe you."

After saying that, he took out five dollars.

"How about it, do you want to make money? If you want to make money, go to the small warehouse."

Qin Huairu was angry at what Guo Dapiaozi said and slapped him on the stomach.

"Go to hell with you, and get as far away from me as possible."

Qin Huairu turned around and walked out of the workshop. She decided to find Li Huaide.

Li Huaide was reading Jin Ping Mei seriously in his office, with a lewd smile on his face.

'Dododo'

There was a knock on the door.

Hearing the knock on the door, Li Huaide was so happy that he put down the book and ran to open the door.

"My dear, you miss me so much...Qin Huairu, what are you doing here?"

Li Huaide was in the office, waiting for a new young female worker of good looks, so he took out Jin Ping Mei to warm up first.

Unexpectedly, the young female worker didn't wait for him, but waited for the pregnant Qin Huairu.

"Why, you're not happy to see me?"

Qin Huairu said with a straight face.

Li Huaide looked at Qin Huairu's bulging belly.

"I can't believe you're this old now. How long has it been since Qin Huairu last had her period? Two months or three months?"

Li Huaide realized that he hadn't looked for Qin Huairu for a long time, and today was a good opportunity to review the past and learn new things.

"No, you are pregnant, aren't you? I'm afraid you are too tired. Come in and sit down. The baby is several months old. Be careful not to disturb the fetus."

Li Huaide supported Qin Huairu and walked into the office.

Ten minutes later, Qin Huairu said as she buttoned her clothes.

"Mr. Li, you see I am in this state and I can't work. Why don't you make the decision and let me take a holiday?"

Li Huaide had a look of satisfaction on his face. He looked at Qin Huairu and said with some embarrassment.

"You're not at work so early. Others will gossip about you. Besides, if you don't go to work, what should I do when I need to find you?!"

"How about this? I'll say hello to your workshop director later, and you don't have to work. Just come to the factory and sit there every day to avoid gossip. What do you say?"

Qin Huairu thought about it and decided that as long as she didn’t have to work, there was no difference between working at home and at the factory.

"Okay, by the way, what are you going to do with this child, acknowledge him or not?"

Qin Huairu asked Li Huaide whether he recognized the baby in her belly, which made Li Huaide a little embarrassed.

"Huai Ru, you are making things difficult for me. My husband will definitely not forgive me if he finds out. If I really admit it, I will lose everything."

How could Li Huaide recognize this child? Besides, it is hard to say who this child belongs to.

Qin Huairu also knew that this would be the result, and she didn't ask for any status, because that was impossible to obtain.

It would be better to get more benefits.

Qin Huairu immediately burst into tears and spoke with sobs.

"My child, my child, your father doesn't want you anymore, what are we going to do... wuwuwu!"

Li Huaide quickly covered her mouth.

"Auntie, keep your voice down. Do you want everyone in the factory to know? Okay, stop crying. Take this money."

After saying that, he took out thirty yuan and stuffed it into Qin Huairu's hand. Qin Huairu then burst into laughter, took the money and went out.

Li Huaide looked at Qin Huairu who was walking away with her hips twisted, and sighed, "It's really expensive!"

Qin Huairu doesn't have to work now. She sits in the lounge every day, takes out wool and knits sweaters.

Although the other workers had objections, there was nothing they could do as Deputy Director Li personally called the workshop to explain.

Just when everyone was at work, a dishevelled beggar came to the courtyard.

When he arrived at Compound No. 95, he rushed in without stopping.

When the third uncle is not at home, the third aunt will guard the gate of the compound.

Seeing a beggar rushing into the yard, the third aunt hurried to stop him.

"You beggar, why are you running into someone else's house? Go away, go away."

Having said that, the third aunt didn't care about the smell and pushed the beggar out of the courtyard.

At this time, Xiaodang walked out of the third uncle's house and was seen by the beggar.

The beggar pushed the three aunts away, ran to Xiaodang, and hugged her directly, scaring Xiaodang so much that she burst into tears.

"Xiaodang, Xiaodang, don't cry. I'm your grandma. I... I'm your grandma."

Hearing the beggar's voice, the third aunt also felt it looked familiar. She lifted the hair that was covering the beggar's face and only then could she see the beggar's true face.

"Jia... Jia Zhang, why is it you? Aren't you going to enjoy yourself as the wife of a leader, and living in a courtyard with three entrances?"

As a result of this commotion, many neighbors in the yard who had nothing to do came out to watch the fun.

"This... this beggar is Jia Zhang?"

"That's not right. This person is so thin that only bones are left. How could he be Jia Zhang?"

"Don't mention it, don't mention it, this person is really Jia Zhang. Look at the black mole on the back of her left hand. Jia Zhang also has an identical black mole on the back of her hand."

When everyone looked, they saw that it was indeed Jia Zhang who returned, and they asked curiously.

"What happened to Jia Zhangshi? How did you become like this?"

Jia Zhang ignored the neighbor who was gossiping and looked around for something.

Jia Zhang saw the dried radishes hanging in front of the door of the third uncle's house. She rushed over immediately, grabbed the dried radishes and stuffed them into her mouth in big mouthfuls, eating them very voraciously.

The three aunts were so frightened that they didn't dare to stop Jia Zhang, for fear that she would get angry and bite them.

After eating a few bites, or rather, just to fill her stomach, Jia Zhang sat on the ground and began to cry loudly.

"Why am I so miserable? That bastard Yi Zhonghai actually hurt me. When he comes back, I will fight him to death."

"Old Jia, Dongxu, come and see what this damned bastard has done to me. I got nothing and now I'm pregnant."

Only then did the neighbors notice Jia Zhang's bulging belly.

"Is Jia Zhang pregnant?"

"That's impossible. Jia Zhang is already in her forties, how can she get pregnant?"

"What's so strange about this? There are even 80-year-old ladies who are pregnant. Didn't you see that Jia Zhang's belly is so big?"

In this way, Jia Zhang returned to the Siheyuan, and the news of her pregnancy spread throughout the Siheyuan and several nearby courtyards.

It became a laughing stock for everyone for a while.
