Siheyuan: I am so good that I became a god of war
Chapter 21 Parting ways
Sha Zhu was very angry after hearing this: "He Yushui! Can't I control you? I'm your elder brother..."
"Silly Zhu, I am your sister now. Do I have to give it to you when you need it? Do I not exist when you don't want it?"
“This, this…” Sha Zhu was speechless for a moment and didn’t know how to answer.
"I have nothing against you. You owe me. When we lived together I was almost always hungry. As for where my money and food supplies went, I have no idea."
"Then you gave all of this to the Jia family. From then on, we parted ways."
"Don't force me to be merciless. If you do that, I will ask ** to terminate our nominal brother-sister relationship."
"You you you...you dare!" Sha Zhu still said stubbornly.
"Okay, let's talk about it after the New Year." After saying that, He Yushui closed the door.
After closing the door, He Yushui leaned against it and cried silently. She knew very well that she must not show her weak side in front of those unreasonable people; otherwise, things would become even more difficult.
"That little thing needs to be disciplined." Sha Zhu said angrily.
The deaf grandmother was very disappointed with this outcome. In the past, He Yushui would not dare to speak in this way; even if she was slightly disobedient, she would be threatened by the deaf grandmother by breaking the window. However, she dared not do this now, because there was a person like Ding Weidong in the yard, who was on good terms with He Yushui; if she caused trouble, her fake identity would not be able to withstand the investigation.
Yi Zhonghai escorted the deaf grandmother to the backyard, where the old lady sat in the dim light that was as dim as a ghost fire.
"The situation is not good! Now that ignorant little girl He Yushui has the audacity to resist me," the deaf grandmother said indignantly, "I am old now, and I still need your care and concern."
"How are you going to solve this problem in the future? Right now, the young people in the compound seem to be restless. They scoff at the idea of respecting elders."
Faced with this situation, Yi Zhonghai felt a headache: "Well, what should we do? He is the deputy chief of the police station. The usual methods of dealing with such people are obviously ineffective. The plan discussed before will not work."
"Unless he disappears!" the deaf grandmother said in a low and threatening voice.
"How about sneaking into his house and getting rid of him?" Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said, "That won't work. This is a major case. The police will definitely turn the entire courtyard upside down to find the suspect. Then my true identity will be exposed."
"Of course that's not possible, but if someone were to secretly attack him, that would be considered the work of a hostile spy." The deaf old lady said grimly, "Even if he is posthumously awarded the title of martyr...tsk tsk!"
"When he's gone, let Zhuzi and Li Qingyu get married, and then sell that little girl."
Yi Zhonghai said thoughtfully: "Yes, if he is gone, the two ladies will be easy to deal with. Let Zhuzi marry Li Qingyu and live in the east wing of the front yard."
"As for Zhuzi's current room, I will use it, and my room will be transferred to Dongxu. Hey, this way Zhuzi really gets a great deal."
"Then you go and make some plans," said the deaf old lady. "This will cost a lot of money, and you need to prepare gold bars. I think you'll need a big gold bar."
"But the problem is... I don't have so much ready money." Yi Zhonghai pretended to be poor.
"Zhong Hai, don't I know your family background? Stop trying to fool an old lady like me." The deaf old lady replied, "Whether this is done or not, it doesn't make much difference to me."
"Besides, I won't live for more than a few years, and by then all the property will belong to you."
The deaf old lady had a large stock of gold bars, and she had indeed shown them to Yi Zhonghai before. Otherwise, how could Yi Zhonghai serve her so attentively? After all, everything was driven by profit.
Of course, this move also improved Yi Zhonghai's image. It was a win-win situation. But now that he was asked to pay for it, he hesitated.
"Go back and think about it carefully first." The deaf old lady waved her hand and said, "What's the meaning of money? Only what can be used is useful!"
"This is not just a small issue, nor is it just about money. I need to seriously consider whether it is worth it or not." Yi Zhonghai said seriously.
"Okay, go back and figure it out yourself." The deaf old lady sneered and said, "Yi Zhonghai, how about you help me buy a radio and I'll pay for it myself... This will show my trust in you, you know."
"No, no, I will buy the radio to express my filial piety to you." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile, "I will buy it for you tomorrow morning, but the department store must be crowded during the holidays."
It only cost a few dozen yuan to buy a radio. With a monthly income of 99 yuan plus various allowances, Yi Zhonghai could easily afford two.
However, in order to obtain the assets from the deaf old lady, he must not be greedy for short-term gains and lose sight of the long-term goal.
After He Yushui left, Ding Weidong dismantled an old desk to make three radio shells, and then assembled these components into complete radios.
It was already twelve o'clock. Li Qingyu walked into the house.
Li Qingyu turned the radio to the lowest volume while lying on the bed, waiting for the year to pass. As for Xiaoyu, he was already fast asleep.
As soon as the time signal sounded on the radio, Li Qingyu walked towards Ding Weidong and greeted him: "Brother Dong, Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, Qingyu. Look, I made three new radios," Ding Weidong said proudly. "One for your room, and I want to put one here. There are two left."
"When we return to our hometown, I will bring them back and give them to my uncle and second uncle respectively."
The eldest uncle and the second uncle here are cousins of Ding Xiangdong's father. Both families take good care of Li Qingyu and Xiao Yuer. If not, they might not have waited for Ding Weidong to come home.
"Yeah, this is more respectable than just giving someone something worth ten dollars. Especially since they are all homemade, it shows my thoughtfulness." Li Qingyu said softly, "Brother Dong, how about some dumplings? How about some glutinous rice balls..."
"Forget it. If you're really hungry, just eat some dry food." Ding Weidong shook his head and said, "It's getting late now. There's no need to rush."
"Okay, then you can eat these for breakfast tomorrow." Li Qingyu nodded.
The next morning, Ding Weidong and his family finished eating glutinous rice balls and dumplings and prepared to go out for a stroll.
"Where is Brother Dong planning to go?" Li Qingyu looked expectant.
"Let's go to the department store," Ding Weidong suggested. "Then take a look at the nearby overpass. After all, you two just arrived here and haven't been out to many places. At most, you've only been to the cooperative here."
"Can you take my ** with you?" Xiao Yuer said, holding the railing on the ** tightly.
"No!" Li Qingyu stared, "Speaking of which, there are so many things piled up at home. If we leave..."
"If someone steals my property, it means he is tired of living." Ding Weidong smiled and said, "Hurry up and pack up so that we can leave with Xiaoyuer."
At half past eight, Ding Weidong, Li Qingyu and Xiao Yuer stepped out of the door. When leaving home, Ding Weidong did not forget to lock the big iron door and seal the windows.
In the morning, the deaf old lady, neatly dressed, slowly walked into the house carrying a handbag. No one knew what she was doing.
"Grandma, why did you go out so early in the morning? There's so much snow outside that it's easy to fall." Yan Bugui reminded her to prevent the deaf grandma from falling and causing more trouble for Yi Zhonghai.
"Xiao Yan, I just went out for a walk and came back just now." The deaf grandma said with a smile.
"Should you let Zhuzi hold you up?" Yan Bugui pretended to be enthusiastic: "Oh, grandma asked me to help you hold up..."
In fact, Yan Bugui really wanted to know what was in the small bag in the deaf old lady's hand, and whether there was anything he could take advantage of. This person always wanted to take advantage of others.
"No need, Xiao Yan, it's pointless for you to have those evil thoughts." The deaf old lady's tone turned cold: "What? In the new year, you want to hit my cane again?"
"No, that's not what I meant!" Yan Bugui was a little scared. He knew his problem - he wanted to get involved when he saw the benefits. However, he didn't know who the owner of the benefits was.
"Not the best!" The deaf old lady sneered.
Ding Weidong locked the door and picked up Xiao Yuer: "Let's go, let's go shopping. Why did you come out with a stuffed doll?"
Just when Xiao Yuer didn't respond, he heard the deaf grandmother suddenly shouting: "Ding Weidong, why did you lock the door? Xiao Yi set the rule: We can enter and leave this yard freely! You are not allowed to lock the door!"
"What did grandma say? What does the rule set by Yi Zhonghai have to do with us?" Ding Weidong replied with a smile: "Can't lock the door? Does it mean he has to be responsible for compensation if something is lost?"
"What on earth is going on with this rule of locking the door? Yi Zhonghai, you came just in time. Tell me, who gave you the authority to not lock the door? Even the Public Security Bureau doesn't have this authority!"
Yi Zhonghai came over with a note in his hand, and it was obvious that he had just returned from the toilet. He had an embarrassed look on his face: "Well... this is not a formal rule, we just suggest that everyone do this... so that more advanced courtyards can be selected."
"I thought you would pay some compensation." Ding Weidong said with a contemptuous smile.
"Well... the old lady is old and may be a little confused. Please don't take it personally." Yi Zhonghai could only answer with a smile.
"Wait, what do you mean by 'old man'? Whose old man is she?" Ding Weidong asked coldly, "We are just neighbors, and there is a so-called uncle? This is just like the society of the past! Explain it clearly!"
"This, this... is my old man." Yi Zhonghai began to sweat, "Zhu Zi, help the old lady go home quickly."
The deaf old lady felt her whole body tense up. She had only intended to put some pressure on Ding Weidong, but she became someone else's target instead. She could no longer use this "big boss" identity.
After hearing the noise in the courtyard ahead, He Xiao ran over in a hurry. He helped the dazed old lady up and sent her home.
"Let's go." Ding Weidong turned to Li Qingyu and said.
"Forget it, forget it. What's the point of seeing these things happening so early?" Yi Zhonghai said with a gloomy face.
As Ding Weidong walked out of the courtyard gate, he heard the system prompt: "Punish the deaf man and get a large sum of money and ten small bonuses!"
"The host has received a New Year gift package. Do you want to open it now?"
Ding Weidong was surprised. He didn't expect that teaching this old man a lesson would earn him such a reward. "Keep the gift bag and don't open it for now."
When He Xiao helped the deaf old lady back to Yi Zhonghai's home, Tan Jinhua was busy cooking dumplings and glutinous rice balls.
"This is really too much! This kid really makes me lose face." The deaf old man was so angry that he was shaking: "This guy is inhumane and doesn't even know the basic principle of respecting elders. How could he be elected as the vice president?"
Yan Bukui ate all dumplings with minced meat and cabbage at home, 10 dumplings per person plus two glutinous rice balls. He divided the portions very evenly.
"These dumplings are like pigs that have found their way into a vegetable garden," Yan Jiecheng said with some disappointment. "I can only taste the vegetable leaves, with only a hint of meat filling. Can't you add a little more pork?"
"Yan Jiecheng, you want to eat a lot of meat? Pay for it yourself." Yan Bukui said, "It's great that you can enjoy these dumplings. Eat them quickly. You still have to clean the snow later."
"This is a matter between Jiemin and me. Do you want to get involved too? Then I'd rather not take part in the cleaning." Yan Jiecheng said angrily.
Because it was a conversation between parents and children, Yan Jiecheng saw through the other party's thoughts as soon as he opened his mouth. He obviously wanted to use the money to gain benefits for himself.
"In that case...each of you can just give me 5 cents." Yan Bukui said, "I won't register your debt for today's New Year's Day expenses."
"No! If you owe any debts, you must remember them!" the two brothers shouted almost at the same time.
They all have this idea in their minds: just record the account, and whether to pay back the money when the time comes is not up to you, Yan Bugui.
Yan Bugui wanted to persuade them further, but Yi Zhonghai came over.
"Old Yan, at 11 o'clock, remember to take the people in the front yard to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady." Yi Zhonghai then said, "I'll go back and prepare first."
"But Ding Weidong has already left." Yan Bugui said.
"It's better for him to leave. Otherwise, do you still plan to take him to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady?" Yi Zhonghai replied with a smile: "Even if you can, I'm afraid the old lady will faint from anger, right?"
"That's right." Yan Bugui nodded and responded, "Don't worry, we will arrive on time, but some neighbors haven't gotten up yet."
Yi Zhonghai nodded in agreement: "That's understandable. They all went to bed late last night."
Qin Zhou ate meat dumplings wrapped in cabbage at Yi Zhonghai's house, which had a hint of pork.
Qin Zhou returned home after finishing his meal. He could still hear the radio broadcast from He Yushui's side. The broadcast was all songs, which made Qin Zhou quite interested.
When I arrived at He Yushui's house, the door was open. Although the weather was cold, this was the custom: to open the door to see the God of Wealth in the New Year.
It also means welcoming people to celebrate the New Year without knocking on the door.
A smell of meat dumplings filled the air, causing Qin Zhou to swallow.
He Yushui was eating dumplings and listening to crosstalk in the room. Hearing the sound of swallowing saliva outside, he turned around and saw Qin Zhou at the door.
He Yushui then stood up, holding a large bowl full of dumplings in his hand.
Qin Zhou saw this action and thought He Yushui wanted to give him a bowl of dumplings, so he stretched out his hand with a grin: "Yushui, I will savor these dumplings carefully. It's really not easy to eat the dumplings stuffed with leeks..."
However, he never expected that He Yushui suddenly slammed the door shut with a bang, almost hitting Qin Zhou's nose, making him blush.
Xu Damao had just returned with a urinal. After witnessing the scene, he shook his head with satisfaction and laughed, "Sure enough."
Last night, Xu Damao, who was hiding in the dark, saw He Yushui scolding Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady. He was deeply impressed by He Yushui's intelligence.
"Bah! What's so good about you? A grown man actually helps others empty the urinal?" Qin Zhou said rudely, "Is it you who can't do it?"
