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

The second uncle was furious and told everyone that he had lost his chicken.

Things are often lost in the yard.

But they were all worthless things, such as half-baked steamed bread.

Or maybe someone is running low on toilet paper.

I've never lost anything as valuable as a chicken.

Many people in the yard saw the chicken that was brought back.

They are quite fat. Even if you use meat coupons to buy them, they will probably cost one or two yuan each.

This is only one or two dollars.

"Whoever stole the chicken, come forward and pay the money, and the matter will be over. If you don't admit it and are brought out, don't blame Second Master for being rude."

The second uncle blushed and said dissatisfiedly at the meeting.

The third uncle on the side didn't say anything, but the first uncle spoke.

"Old Liu, maybe you entered it wrong? After all, there are so many dishes, it's possible that you are dizzy."

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to make things worse, so he tried to smooth things over.

"Old Yi, how could you have counted wrong? There were five of each of the chickens, ducks, geese and fish. And the five catties of pork were all bought with the meat coupons I managed to get."

"The rest of the numbers are correct, except for one chicken missing. Someone must have stolen it."

Suddenly, Liu Haizhong saw Xiaodang holding something in his mouth. Upon closer inspection, he found it was a chicken wing bone.

"Xiaodang, what's in your mouth? Give it to me."

The second uncle pointed at Xiaodang and yelled.

Xiaodang was terrified.

This afternoon, my brother suddenly brought back a chicken. My grandmother boiled water and cooked the chicken, then ate it secretly without letting me know.

I took advantage of them not paying attention and stole a piece of chicken wing to eat.

Because it was so delicious, I couldn’t bear to throw away the bones after eating the meat. I kept them in my mouth to savor them.

Jia Zhang was watching the fun.

Suddenly I heard Liu Haizhong yelling at Xiaodang.

He saw Xiaodang holding a chicken bone in his mouth. He was so scared that he snatched the chicken bone from Xiaodang's mouth and was about to throw it away.

But Liu Guangqi, the eldest son of the Liu family, rushed over and snatched it away.

"You old hag, it turns out that the chicken was stolen by your family. No wonder you have been hanging around Zhuzi's house this afternoon."

Liu Haizhong took the chicken bone from Liu Guangqi's hand and shook it in front of everyone in the hospital.

This chicken bone can be seen by everyone.

When Jia Zhang saw that the evidence was conclusive, she immediately slapped Xiao Dang and cursed him.

"You little girl, you actually dared to steal something. Uncle, arrest her and send her to the police station."

When Liu Haizhong saw the shameless Jia Zhang, he actually sacrificed his rook to save his king in order to protect himself.

But Liu Haizhong did what Jia Zhang wanted.

After Xiaodang was slapped by Jia Zhang, he cried loudly in pain.

Qin Huairu, who had just come to her senses, realized that the chicken must have been stolen by Banggeng.

How could the three-year-old Xiaodang, who was not even as tall as the table, steal a chicken?

Qin Huairu hugged Xiaodang and walked to the second uncle crying.

"Second uncle, Xiaodang is still so young, how could he steal a chicken? It must be a mistake."

Seeing Qin Huairu crying, Liu Haizhong had no intention of letting her family go.

"Xiao Dang certainly wouldn't steal the chicken. It's not even as high as the table. Someone else is stealing the chicken. I'll give him another chance."

"If you admit it yourself, we can talk about anything. If you don't admit it, I'm sorry, we'll see you at the police station."

When he heard the word police station, Bang Geng’s face turned pale with fright.

White uniforms are a deterrent in any era, especially to children.

The helper was so scared that he grabbed Jia Zhang's clothes.

"Grandma, I don't want to go to the police station. I don't want to go to the police station."

After hearing Banggeng’s shouting, everyone in the yard knew what was going on.

Liu Haizhong came over and grabbed Banggeng by the back of his collar.

"You little brat, you have no morals and you actually stole a chicken. Let's go to the police station."

Jia Zhang was not willing to let Liu Haizhong take her beloved grandson away, so she quickly snatched the stick.

Then with a violent collision, Liu Haizhong was knocked away.

Liu Haizhong did not expect Jia Zhang's sudden attack.

He wasn't paying attention and was knocked to the ground, holding his waist.

"Ouch... my waist, my waist!"

When he saw that things had gotten out of hand, Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to help the Jia family.

After all, Qin Huairu and herself...

But now Jia Zhang actually beat the second uncle, and even if I take sides, I won’t be able to convince the public.

"Jia Zhang, what are you doing? How can you hit the second uncle? Guangqi, please help your father up."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai walked over and helped Liu Haizhong up.

"Old Liu, your eldest son is getting married tomorrow, so forget about this matter. Just think of it as inviting the Jia family to eat a chicken first. The Jia family is in such a difficult situation, so think of it as helping her family."

Yi Zhonghai tried to persuade Liu Haizhong to let go of the chicken theft.

"Forget it! I'll go to your house, steal your bacon, and then beat you up. Will you let it go?"

Liu Haizhong was so angry that he pushed away Yi Zhonghai who was supporting him and cursed at him.

Yi Zhonghai knew that Liu Haizhong was angry, so he didn't argue with him.

"Then what are you going to do? It's just a chicken. There's no need to go to the police station, or we'll lose our reputation as a civilized compound."

Yi Zhonghai didn't want the police station to intervene, otherwise the No. 95 compound would become a joke.

Liu Haizhong also calmed down at this time.

I am the second boss in the compound. If my behavior ruins the title of civilized compound,

Wouldn't that make you a sinner for all eternity?

From now on, who will listen to me in the compound?

Seeing Liu Haizhong calm down.

Yi Zhonghai said again.

"It's just a chicken, two dollars at most. Just go buy another one. As a seventh-level worker in the factory, you are still short of these two dollars."

Liu Haizhong no longer insisted on going to the police station.

So he said to Yi Zhonghai.

"Old Yi, it's easy for you to say that. I don't mind eating a piece of wick for a dollar or two, but you can't just buy a chicken. Zhuzi spent a lot of effort to get this."

Yi Zhonghai advised again earnestly.

"Just ask Zhuzi to get another one. I'll let the Jia family pay for the chicken."

When Jia Zhang heard that her family had to pay compensation, she refused to do it again.

"Pay compensation. How can my family have money? My son is dead. How can I have money? Liu Haizhong, you are so heartless. You just want to bully us orphans and widows."

"Dongxu, come and see your poor mother."

"Old Jia, please show your spirit and take Liu Haizhong away!"

Liu Haizhong, who had just calmed down, was furious again. He turned around and called Liu's three sons to go to the police station to report the case.

Seeing that things were getting out of control again, Yi Zhonghai yelled at Jia Zhang.

"Okay, Jia Zhang, do you really want the police to come and take you and Bang Geng away?"

When Jia Zhang heard the police, she immediately stopped crying and making a fuss.

"Lao Liu, forget it. I'll pay for the chicken. Here are two dollars."

Yi Zhonghai took out two dollars and handed it to Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong looked at He Yuzhu who was eating melon on the side.

"Uncle, don't look at me. It's already dark. Where can I get you a chicken? Besides, even if someone has a chicken, it's only two dollars to buy it now."

"Even if it's three dollars, others may not sell it to me."

Seeing that He Yuzhu was unwilling to help.

Liu Haizhong also became anxious.

Without chicken, what should we do for tomorrow’s banquet?

"Zhu Zi, how much do you want?"

Yi Zhonghai said to He Yuzhu helplessly.

He Yuzhu looked at Yi Zhonghai, thought for a while and said.

"If I go now, even if there is one, they may not sell it to me. After all, the restaurant makes money by selling chickens. I don't think I can even get five dollars."

When he heard that it cost five dollars, Yi Zhonghai almost vomited blood.

It costs five dollars, why don't you just go and die.

I'm going to kick you to death with one sweeping kick.

Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu, who was always indifferent, and really wanted to slap him.

But there was no way out. Knowing that he was being cheated, Yi Zhonghai reluctantly took out five dollars and handed it to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took the money and went out.

Qin Huairu put down Xiaodang and walked to Yi Zhonghai.

"Thank you, uncle. I will definitely return the five dollars to you."

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and whispered in Qin Huairu's ear.

"Wait for me in the vegetable cellar tonight! Just consider it as paying off your debt."

Then he told all the neighbors.

"Alright, alright, let's all go. Tomorrow is Sunday, and it's also the big day for the eldest brother of the Liu family to get married. It's also a happy event for the Siheyuan. Everyone should arrive early tomorrow and let's go."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he called the aunt home.

He asked the aunt to cook another meat dish so that he could replenish his energy so that he would have strength for the evening.

Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai and could only sigh. She also called Banggeng to go home.

Then, the wailing sounds of Banggeng were heard from Jia's house.

Qin Huairu took the broom and whipped Banggeng's butt hard.

Beating and scolding at the same time.

"You damn child, you always cause trouble and always ask me to pay off your debts. Can't you just be quiet for a while?"

Bang Geng's butt soon turned red from being beaten.

Jia Zhang felt very distressed when she saw this.

He walked over and snatched the broom from Qin Huairu's hand.

"Qin Huairu, you are crazy. Why do you beat your child? If you were capable, Banggeng wouldn't have stolen other people's meat to eat. In the final analysis, it's because you, as a mother, are incompetent."

"You only know how to beat the child. If you have the ability, you should get the money back. If Dongxu hadn't died, would our family be in this situation? My poor son...!"

As Jia Zhang was talking, she actually started crying loudly.

When Qin Huairu heard what Jia Zhang said about her, she also started crying out of grievance.

Bang Geng was beaten and started crying in pain.

Xiaodang, who was standing by, saw the whole family crying and started crying too. For a moment, the courtyard was filled with cries.

In the evening, Qin Huairu arrived as promised, went to the vegetable cellar, and fought with Yi Zhonghai for three hundred rounds.

What surprised Yi Zhonghai was.

Qin Huairu and I have had sex so many times, but my stomach doesn't react at all.

But I went to the hospital for a check-up and found that there was nothing wrong with me.

"Will God really not give me a child?"

Yi Zhonghai began to doubt his life.

The next day, Ma Hua and two other aunts from the kitchen arrived at He Yuzhu's courtyard early.

He Yuzhu asked them to come and help.

These people are in the kitchen and their family conditions are relatively poor.

He Yuzhu gave them three dollars each and asked them to help.

Originally, after finishing what happened with Yi Zhonghai in the vegetable cellar last night.

Qin Huairu said to Yi Zhonghai.

"Master, please lend me a few dollars. I have no money at home."

Yi Zhonghai put on his pants and was about to leave when he heard Qin Huairu wanted to borrow money.

He just laughed.

"Qin Huairu, the money I spent on your family is at least several hundred, if not a thousand. Even if you stay with me for your whole life, you still can't pay it back, and you still want money."

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai left.

Qin Huairu sighed, put on her clothes and pants, and quietly climbed out of the vegetable cellar.

When passing by He's house.

I saw He Yuzhu was still counting the items.

Qin Huairu knew that for this kind of banquet, some people would be invited to help.

If you go to help, you can take some meat home and maybe even get paid.

As a result, as soon as he explained his purpose, he was kicked out by He Yuzhu.

"Master, I am Ma Hua, we are here."

After entering the courtyard, there were already several round-tables set up in the middle of the yard.

There is also a temporary stove made of bricks.

He Yuzhu has already started making a fire in the stove.

Seeing Ma Hua and others coming, He Yuzhu arranged for them to wash and cut vegetables.

The young girls and wives in the courtyard also came to help.

For a moment, the picture seemed harmonious.

Qin Huairu also got up early.

Help with the work.

Although she didn't get paid for helping, she had to help in order to maintain her hardworking and enthusiastic image.

Qin Jingru originally wanted to sleep in.

Last night Xu Damao tormented her until midnight again.

When I came back, everyone in the yard was asleep.

But Qin Huairu still called him up to help.

Liu Haizhong asked the second son to collect the gift money and the third son to write the gift list.

At the last funeral banquet for Jia Dongxu, the third uncle's family was kicked out because they didn't pay their share of money.

So this time, everyone in the hospital squeezed out some money as a share.

The first person to give his share of money was the third uncle.

I saw the third uncle and his family walking up to Liu Haizhong happily.

He took out a red envelope made of red paper and handed it to Liu Guangqi.

"Liu Guangqi, Third Uncle wishes you a happy wedding and a son soon."

He then spoke to Liu Haizhong who was standing beside him.

"Second uncle, I also wish you to have a grandchild soon and enjoy the happiness of family life."

The second uncle was smiling happily.

Liu Guangfu, the third son of the Liu family, felt a little happy as he took the thick red envelope handed over by the third uncle.

I thought that the red envelope was so thick, it must be worth several yuan.

When they opened it, they found it was ten Mao Zedong banknotes stacked together.

Liu Guangfu shouted at the top of his voice.

"Uncle, the share of money is ten in total...!"

The neighbor who was waiting to give money was shocked.

The third uncle gave ten... dollars?

The three uncles have already made the proofs, so how much should we give?

"hair!"

Liu Guangfu shouted out ten cents.

"We were shocked. We thought it was ten yuan, but it turned out to be ten cents. So it's only one yuan."

The neighbors in the yard stared at Liu Guangfu with hatred.

Liu Guangfu was so scared that he shrank his neck.

"Uncle, please come to the backyard. We must eat and drink well today."

There were also several tables in the backyard.

This was added later on, ten yuan per table, including labor costs.

Soon, the neighbors in the yard gave their share of money, with your family giving 50 cents and his family giving one dollar.

They were all arranged in the backyard.

Xu Damao was alone at home, and thought about it. Although this second uncle had an average relationship with him.

But he also said a few good words for himself.

Just give two dollars to each person.

As a result, Liu Haizhong arranged for him to sit in the front yard.

Yi Zhonghai and his wife gave five dollars and sat in the front yard.

then.

Some people also came to the factory.

These are all Liu Haizhong's disciples.

It’s no wonder that although Liu Haizhong is a power-hungry person, he teaches his disciples very well.

Each of them has pretty good skills.

There are also those who work as workshop managers.

They also came to attend Liu Guangqi's wedding banquet.

Each of them gave five, ten or twenty yuan, which gave Liu Haizhong a lot of face.

backyard.

Yan Bugui said to his family while sitting at the table.

"When the dishes are served, eat according to the meat and vegetables. Eat and pack at the same time. Have you taken your lunch boxes?"

Members of the Yan family showed their lunch boxes one after another.

Only then did Yan Bugui reveal a satisfied smile.

After hearing Yan Bugui's words, the neighbors nearby seemed to have suddenly received an epiphany.

They went home one after another to get bowls, lunch boxes, and basins.

Soon, the front yard was full.

The backyard was also full.

Everyone was chatting, bragging, or waiting for their food to be served.

At noon, the dishes were served one by one.

Yan Bugui and his family could no longer contain their excitement.

The first dish was served - roast meat with potatoes.

But this meat is...

The second dish is cold seaweed salad.

It can also be considered a seafood dish.

The following dishes also contained meat, but it was all minced meat.

As for chickens, ducks, geese and fish, you can hardly see any.

The people in the backyard were curious.

I bought so many meat dishes, where is the meat?

So some neighbors ran to the central courtyard to ask He Yuzhu when the chicken, duck and fish would be served.

As a result, I looked at the vegetables in the front yard.

The chickens, ducks, geese and fish were all brought to the front yard.

This caused an uproar in the backyard, and everyone went to Liu Haizhong to ask for an explanation.

As a result, Liu Haizhong said directly.

The level of food you eat depends on the level of money you pay.

All the neighbors were speechless.

I could only sit down and continue eating. I had already paid the money.

However, the people in the courtyard felt uncomfortable during this meal.

Just like that, the Liu family boss' wedding banquet ended perfectly.
