Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

Yi Zhonghai was a little surprised that he didn't meet Sha Zhu when he went home from get off work today, but he was a little annoyed by the Jia family recently, so he didn't care too much.

After all, Sha Zhu is just a spare tire in his heart. Now he has to hurry up and deal with the affairs of the Jia family. Since getting Director Wang's consent, Jia Zhang has been going to Yi Zhonghai's house every now and then to ask for money and food.

This made Yi Zhonghai somewhat exhausted. He had to calm the Jia family down as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the current situation continued, he would be completely taken advantage of by the Jia family before he could even retire, let alone wait for Jia Dongxu to provide for him in his old age.

This was definitely not what Yi Zhonghai wanted to see, so he needed to find a way to solve this problem. So after get off work today, he bypassed Jia Dongxu and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some pork.

After making preparations, he went to the backyard to see the deaf old lady and asked her for some advice. Originally, Yi Zhonghai was very proud and thought that he had the Jia family under his control, but now it seems that he was thinking too simply.

Now Yi Zhonghai urgently needs the deaf old lady as a stabilizing force to give him advice. Although this old lady never goes out of the house, she can't be a simple character if she can survive the war years safely.

What's more, the deaf old lady has a strong background, and Yi Zhonghai has been with her for so many years but has not been able to find out her depth.

Moreover, the old lady is very wise and can often hit the nail on the head with just one sentence.

This is why Yi Zhonghai is willing to support the deaf old lady for free. On the one hand, it is to gain a good reputation, but more importantly, it is for the support and help of the deaf old lady.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai arrived at the Central Courtyard, he saw Qin Huairu washing clothes at the sink again. This had almost become her habit. She didn't wash clothes during the day, but came out with a basin of clothes when it was time to get off work.

Yi Zhonghai didn't say much. He just said hello and went home. He hid the piece of meat very tightly without any flaws. However, at this time Yi Zhonghai thought of a problem.

If he cooked the meat at home, given the character of the Jia family, they would definitely come to ask for meat, so after thinking for a moment, Yi Zhonghai decided to take the meat to the deaf old lady's house in the backyard to cook dinner.

In this way, even if the people from the Jia family smelled the aroma of meat, they would not dare to come to the old lady's house to ask for meat. So after returning home, Yi Zhonghai said something to the aunt, then watched Qin Huairu through the window, and went to the backyard after she came home.

Qin Huairu waits until after get off work every day to wash clothes. She has her own plans. First, she wants to let more people see her and establish herself as a virtuous daughter-in-law.

The second thing is to see what good things everyone brings home to see if I can get some bargains. Of course, the main thing is to wait for Sha Zhu to get off work. After all, Sha Zhu used to bring back several lunch boxes every day after get off work.

However, due to food problems recently, Sha Zhu hasn't brought a lunch box for several months, which makes Qin Huairu very disappointed in Sha Zhu.

Just yesterday, she asked Sha Zhu to borrow food, and after she teased him, Sha Zhu agreed immediately. That's why Qin Huairu was waiting for Sha Zhu here with great interest today.

But it was almost seven o'clock, and Qin Huairu still hadn't waited for Sha Zhu, so she could only carry the basin home and cook in disappointment.

But she did not feel disappointed in her heart, because she knew that as long as Sha Zhu promised her, he would definitely do it, and now he should be thinking of ways to get food.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu suddenly thought of Zhou Jin. This young man was not only young and handsome, but also capable. He became a cadre at the age of 20. Not only did he decorate the house beautifully, but he was also able to support two unrelated elderly people and a little girl. Even He Yushui was under his care now.

How can such a kind, loving, capable and handsome man not be her man? The key is that other men in the courtyard are like cats stealing fish when they see her, always wanting to take advantage of her.

But he always turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to her, so Qin Huairu often wondered if she had lost her charm. However, when she looked at her two plump breasts, she instantly became confident.

In fact, it’s not that Qin Huairu is not pretty. The reason why Zhou Jin dislikes her is simply because she doesn’t meet Zhou Jin’s aesthetic standards. Moreover, given the Jia family’s character, once they get attached, they can’t get rid of them. Zhou Jin has watched the original drama, so naturally he doesn’t want to have a relationship with her.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Qin Huairu coming home, he put the meat into his clothes, pretended to stroll around, and walked towards the backyard. After a while, an old lady also walked towards the backyard with a bag.

The deaf old lady was a little surprised to see Yi Zhonghai coming. After all, Yi Zhonghai had rarely come to the backyard since he became a great master. This sudden visit was probably because of the Jia family's affairs.

There was no change on the deaf old lady's face as she spoke to Yi Zhonghai with a smile.

"Zhong Hai, why are you here today? Xue Lian was the one who brought you meals before."

Yi Zhonghai did not rush to answer, but took out a piece of pork belly from his clothes, which was estimated to be more than one pound, and then answered the old lady's question.

"Old lady, it's been a while since I last came to see you. I went to the supply and marketing cooperative after get off work today to buy some meat. I'll ask Xuelian to cook it for you later so that you can have a good nourishment."

When the deaf old lady saw the pork belly, her eyes lit up. After all, at her age, she had no other pursuits and could only think about eating more good food.

It was just because of the recent food crisis that everyone was already hungry, so eating meat became a luxury. Moreover, she lived next door to Zhou Jin, and although Zhou Jin's family rarely cooked meat, the aroma still made the deaf old lady unable to stop.

But Zhou Jin didn't like her and usually kept his distance from her. The key point was that her methods were of no use to Zhou Jin at all. Gradually, she had to give up and just envied Grandpa Jin and his wife.

Now Yi Zhonghai took the initiative to buy meat for himself, which could be considered a treat. Although it was not as delicious as what Zhou Jin and Sha Zhu cooked, it was still meat and oil after all.

At this time, an old lady also came. Yi Zhonghai gave the meat to the old lady and asked her to go to the kitchen to cook, while he started chatting with the old lady.

"Old lady, you should know even if I don't tell you that I came to you because I want your help and advice."

"Well, you go ahead and I'll listen."

The deaf old lady answered Yi Zhonghai softly, with an attitude of sitting on the Diaoyutai.

Yi Zhonghai didn't care about the deaf old lady's attitude. What he wanted was a solution to the problem. As for the rest, he didn't care.

"It's like this. A few days ago, there was a meeting in the hospital. Director Wang punished me and asked me to be responsible for helping the Jia family in addition to helping Sister Wang's family in the Intermediate Court. You should know about this."

"Yes, I heard about it a long time ago. Is this why the Jia family is pestering you?"

Yi Zhonghai was also greatly surprised, secretly sighing that this old lady was indeed getting more and more shrewd as she aged.

"Yes, old lady, Dongxu and Qin Huairu come to your house from time to time to complain about their family's difficulties. I am so annoyed that I have no choice but to come to you for help."

"Zhong Hai, since you took the initiative to talk to me about this, I was afraid that you would think too much, so I didn't interfere too much in the affairs of the Jia family. I was afraid that you would harbor resentment towards me because of this.

Now that you've brought it up, I won't hide it anymore. These are my own opinions. Don't rush to refute me. Wait until I finish what I'm saying before you speak."

Yi Zhonghai has always known that the deaf old lady looked down on Jia Dongxu, but after all, he was the one who chose her to take care of the elderly. Seeing others belittle Jia Dongxu was like a slap in his face.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady never said much about Jia Dongxu's affairs before. Everyone knew it well, and saying more would only affect their relationship.

Now hearing that the deaf old lady was going to speak her heart out to him, although Yi Zhonghai still felt a little unhappy, he began to feel a little regretful when he thought about what the Jia family had done.

Instead of either speaking out in opposition or changing the subject as he had done before, he nodded in agreement and let the deaf old lady continue speaking.

"Zhong Hai, look at the people in the Jia family. Jia Zhang is a shrew. She is lazy and always causes trouble in the courtyard. Although you can use this to establish your prestige in the courtyard.

But this kind of behavior is not desirable. Yes, because of Jia Zhang's rogue behavior, everyone hates and fears her, and it also enhances your prestige in the Siheyuan, but it also encourages Jia Zhang's arrogance.

Although no one will say anything openly, everyone knows that you favor the Jia family. It’s just that no one was willing to be the first to speak out. One reason was that they were afraid of your uncle, and the other was that they were afraid of being targeted by Jia Zhang.

As a result, as soon as Zhou Jin came, you were defeated after a few rounds and even lost your position as the boss. And look at the meeting you held before.

You probably want to tie Grandpa Liu's family in the front yard and the Zhao family in the back yard together, so that you can make donations to the Jia family openly. I guess the distribution of this money later will also be mainly based on the Jia family.

But you see, Zhou Jin broke the plan that you three masters had discussed with just a few words, and he also got the support of everyone in the hospital. Do you know why?"

In fact, Yi Zhonghai thought about it for a long time after that incident, but he couldn't figure out which step went wrong.

"Old lady, to be honest, I reviewed this matter with Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong, but I still can't figure out the reason. Please tell me clearly."

“I say that you are the ones who are in control and are confused. You think that there will be no problem if you involve the Liu and Zhao families, but don’t forget that no matter how many more families you involve, the final result is that you will take money from other people in the courtyard.

You had previously made illegal donations to the Jia family and had a history of fraudulent donations, which was later exposed by Zhou Jin. The entire hospital has been quiet for more than half a year, and now everyone's life is becoming more and more difficult, and you are starting to think of ways to donate money again.

Do you think everyone would be willing to do that? If Zhou Jin directly overturns your decision and proposes a solution that can solve the living problems of the poor families in the Siheyuan without them having to pay for it, who do you think they will support?"

"Oh, I see, old lady."

"Zhong Hai, you don't understand. I know your character. You always want to spend other people's money to do your own things. If it was before, everyone would have gritted their teeth and let it go because of your prestige, but it's different now.

Zhou Jin appeared. Although he didn't interact much with the people in the Siheyuan, every time something big happened in the Siheyuan, his way of handling it was always in the best interests of everyone.

So slowly, under such subtle influence, everyone will trust Zhou Jin more than you three uncles, because everyone knows who you are.

If you had not involved the Jia family and Zhuzi, everyone would have trusted you. Liu Haizhong is a fool who has no ability except beating children and showing off his power. Yan Bugui has a narrow vision and only cares about the immediate interests. He is not capable of much use.

But now, whenever something happens in the courtyard, there must be someone from the Jia family there. In this situation, you always unconsciously favor the Jia family. What can you three do to fight Zhou Jin?"
