Siheyuan: Rebirth 52 years later, escaping from famine in Beijing

"Where are Jia Dongxu and his wife going? They don't even take Banggeng with them! I guess they have left Banggeng in the care of Aunt Yi again!" Aunt Yan knew very well that the Jia family had the closest relationship with the Yi Zhonghai family in the same courtyard. Every time the couple went out, if they didn't take the child with them, they would entrust Banggeng to Aunt Yi's care.

Jia Dongxu and his wife left the courtyard.

In view of the previous experience, they were not in a hurry to rush to the Red Star Women's Prison this time.

Jia Dongxu suggested using the money originally planned for the bus fare to buy some food and eat while walking, so that they could arrive at the Red Star Women's Prison in time to pick up their mother who had been released.

Qin Huairu followed her husband's advice and thought that since she had decided to walk, she might as well eat something practical, so she happily agreed.

So they went to a nearby market and bought a string of fried tofu skin, enjoying the snack as they walked towards the Red Star Women's Prison.

They walked and stopped along the way, eating snacks, and their pace was quite leisurely.

When Jia Dongxu's mother hurried out of the gate of Red Star Women's Prison with her parcel in hand, she found no one to greet her and could not help but complain. However, she only criticized her daughter-in-law Qin Huairu for not being considerate of the elderly, and was very tolerant of her son Jia Dongxu, thinking that he might not be able to pick her up in person because of work reasons.

"Need I say this? Qin Huairu doesn't even remember me as her mother-in-law, so she didn't even think about picking me up from the hospital!"

Jia Zhang had spent five years in this prison. Although she was free, she didn't want to stay here for a moment, so she picked up her luggage and walked out.

The loss of memory caused by long-term imprisonment and the change of surrounding environment made her quickly lost.

After much difficulty, Jia Zhang finally returned to the familiar courtyard.

"Aunt Jia? Is it really you? I heard you were released from prison? But you...how did you become like this?" Aunt Yan was surprised to see a very old woman coming in, but after careful identification, she found that it was Jia Zhang. She seemed to be nearly ten years older than before she left prison. Aunt Yan looked at her in disbelief, with a look of disbelief on her face.

Understanding the reason behind Aunt Yan's reaction, Jia Zhang suddenly felt dissatisfied. She responded lightly and walked towards her residence without a moment's pause.

"She really doesn't know the rules! Several years in prison don't seem to have taught her much about life!" Aunt Yan shook her head slightly.

After entering her own courtyard, Jia Zhang unconsciously looked around her own home first, and then paid attention to her neighbor Lu Weimin's residence. Seeing that Lu's home was decorated with a new look and was extremely beautiful, her eyes were immediately filled with jealousy.

After a quick check of her residence, she found that apart from some adjustments to the bed, there were not many overall changes in the layout.

Jia Zhang closed the door and went straight to the place where she kept her private money. After a while of searching, she found the money, then she breathed a sigh of relief and hid it again.

Jia Zhang was filled with resentment about the fact that Qin Huairu failed to come to greet her and her current whereabouts were unknown.

Soon, the news about Jia Zhang's return spread quickly among the neighbors, and everyone began to talk about it.

Just then, the door of Jia's house was pushed open. The hungry Jia Zhang was holding sweet potatoes in her hands and preparing to wash them for cooking. Her movement attracted the attention of people around her.

When the neighbors saw Jia Zhang's appearance, they were all stunned. How could Jia Zhang have aged to this extent?

It turns out that prison is not a place suitable for people to live in.

When Jia Zhang was just released, new conflicts arose between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she seemed to have two extremely powerful skills in her hands.

Jia Dongxu and his wife Qin Huairu finally arrived at the gate of Red Star Women's Prison.

After waiting for half an hour, they still didn't see Jia Zhangshi, which made Jia Dongxu nervous. He asked his wife Qin Huairu, "Why hasn't our mother shown up yet? Did something go wrong?"

Qin Huairu's heart also tightened when she heard Jia Dongxu's words. She tried to calm herself down and replied, "It should be fine! She should be released after serving her full sentence. We can't delay it for no reason! Unless she has violated the rules in prison!"

"There were violations in prison? My mother wouldn't do this, right?" Jia Dongxu felt even more uneasy.

"Dongxu, don't guess blindly. Just go and ask and you'll know!" Qin Huairu reminded.

Jia Dongxu took a deep breath and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll go find out!"

Qin Huairu saw her husband walking towards the sentry post in the prison, and she also felt mixed emotions. Currently, she was pregnant with her second child and urgently needed Jia Zhang's help to take care of her. Without the help of this old lady, it would be extremely difficult for her to raise two children alone.

Not long after, Jia Dongxu returned with a smile on his face. Seeing this, Qin Huairu's mood also calmed down.

Indeed, Jia Dongxu said happily: "Ha! We were worried for nothing! The prison guards told us that my mother has been released from prison!"

Qin Huairu was very relieved to hear that Jia Zhang was released from prison safely, but she was still a little puzzled and asked: "So where did she go after she was released from prison?"

Jia Dongxu replied: "Maybe she had left before we arrived!"

"That should be the case! Then let's go back now!" Qin Huairu said, and added, "Today is the big day that our mother was released. We should go to the market to buy some meat and bring it home to make her a delicious meal to celebrate!"

Jia Dongxu was a little unhappy when he heard that he had to spend more money, but he still nodded and agreed. The two went to the market to buy things, and then hurried back to the courtyard.

The Jia family in the courtyard is harmonious.

Jia Zhang reunited with her son Jia Dongxu. The two hugged each other tightly and burst into tears. "Mother, you finally came out. I missed you so much!" "Dongxu, my dear son! Mother, I missed you so much too!"

On the other hand, Qin Huairu couldn't help feeling sad when she saw such "deep love between mother and son", and tears welled up in her eyes.

But Jia Zhang turned her gaze to Qin Huairu, and when she saw her expression, she immediately became angry: "Qin Huairu, tell me the truth, do you still take me, your mother, seriously? I was released from prison today, and you didn't come to greet me? Did you get tired of me because I didn't come to pick me up last time?"

Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment by her mother-in-law's sudden rebuke. She felt very aggrieved and felt that she had been wronged: "Mom, I really wronged you. Dongxu and I went to pick you up, but because you were released from prison earlier, you had already returned home when we arrived, so we didn't get to see you."

Jia Dongxu hurriedly explained to his wife. "Is that so?" Jia Zhang was skeptical.

"That's true!" Jia Dongxu confirmed repeatedly, which made Jia Zhangshi's expression slightly relieved.

Jia Dongxu smiled again and said, "Mom! I have another good news to tell you. Huairu is pregnant again!"

"Really, Huairu is pregnant again, that's great! Our family will have two grandsons soon! But by the way, where is our little grandson Banggeng?" Jia Zhang asked happily.

Qin Huairu's heart sank when she heard that Jia Zhang was so sure that her second child would also be a boy. Obviously, Jia Zhang was looking forward to having a grandson. What if it wasn't a son this time? Thinking of this, her happy mood was also overshadowed by a shadow.

At this time, Jia Dongxu replied: "Banggeng is at Uncle Yi's house, and Aunt Yi is taking care of him. I'll go and take Banggeng home!"

What Jia Dongxu brought back was an old wooden stick instead of a child, which was obviously a misunderstanding or **. If the original intention is described: Jia Dongxu brought his child Banggeng home. After not seeing each other for several years, little Banggeng felt very strange to Jia's mother and was unwilling to let Jia's mother get close to him. Seeing this scene, Jia's mother immediately looked gloomy.

"Huai Ru, how can you be a mother? You actually teach your child to be so alienated from relatives!" Grandmother Jia questioned her daughter-in-law angrily, obviously thinking that all the mistakes were Qin Huai Ru's.

Qin Huairu felt extremely aggrieved and wanted to explain: "Mom, it's not like that. The child may be because of you..."

"You still have a reason to quibble?" Jia Zhang was even more angry, staring at her daughter-in-law in front of her. "That's simply outrageous!"

Seeing that the family conflict was about to break out, Jia Dongxu quickly stepped forward to try to mediate the situation: "Okay, okay, the atmosphere today is so good, Mom, don't argue with Huairu."

Seeing that her husband not only did not understand her position, but also stood on Lady Jia's side, Qin Huairu felt even more bitter. She turned around and quietly wiped away her tears, thinking that if she had known that her mother-in-law's character was becoming more and more weird and tricky, maybe she should not have left that place. "Alas, if I had known in advance that my mother-in-law had changed so much, I would have been better off not going out in the first place!"

When Jia Zhang saw her daughter-in-law's sadness, she felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart - although she had been in prison for five years, she knew that she still had the right to speak at home.

"Dongxu, tell me what happened in the past five years!" Jia Zhang, who had just returned home, asked her son.

Upon hearing about the violence of 'Shazhu' against Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhang immediately showed an angry look and said sharply: "Damn Shazhu, how dare he hurt my Dongxu! If I were there, I would never let him go!"

When she learned that Lu Weimin's wife had become the director of the subdistrict office and that Lu Weimin himself had been promoted to chief engineer of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and had renovated his house, Jia Zhang suddenly felt choked up with jealousy and complained loudly: "The heavens are blind! Why don't good people get good rewards? The bad guys' lives are getting better and better!"

Jia Dongxu completely agreed with his mother: "Yes, that's it!"

Three days later, when He Yushui came to Xiaohan's house to play, he accidentally revealed the news that Jia Zhang was released from prison. Lu Weimin's family realized this because they had hardly returned to their original residence in the past few days. Then, He Yushui mentioned a new situation - Qin Huairu seemed to be pregnant with her second child?
