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

That's right, Jia Zhang, your behavior is totally unethical!"

The angry crowd was in high spirits and accused Jia Zhang of any misconduct.

In the past, the ownership of the house did not matter to them.

Now when people learned that Old Wang wanted to divide all his property equally among everyone but it was all looted by the Jia family, everyone was filled with indignation.

At this moment, although Jia Zhang was already panicking, she was still unwilling to give up hope: "This is definitely not true! Mr. Lu, you are lying, let me see the paper in your hand!"

"That's right! Let us see it quickly! Who knows whether what you said is true or false!" Jia Dongxu also raised his voice.

"Fourteen, I'm willing to bet everything! They don't dare! They can't afford to lose!"

Lu Weimin responded loudly: "Don't think I don't know that you want to destroy the will and clear the evidence!"

"Ha! You won't show it to us, which means you're lying!"

"That's right!"

"Want to see it? Here's your chance! Tomorrow morning, I will take this piece of paper to the Management Committee to request a ruling. Then, we will know if this note is genuine!

Now, I have to clean the house and don't want to waste my time arguing with you.

"

After saying these words, Lu Weimin turned into the house.

The Jia family was shocked, and Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu became more and more panicked.

They were already thinking about how to dispose of the stolen goods tonight.

Grandmother Jia asked Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu to come into the house.

"It looks like the man surnamed Lu does have the last words of our old friend Lao Wang. Find a way to solve it quickly. If anything happens to me, you will also be to blame. Don't forget that you also took away some of the items that our old friend Lao Wang left us!"

After being threatened by Lady Jia, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu both showed dissatisfied expressions.

……

When they returned to Lu Weimin's house, they finally moved all the supplies they had bought into the house.

And sold the badly damaged bed at a low price.

After all, that was the bed where Lao Wang slept before he died, and he had been ill on it for a long time.

Continuing to use the bed might bring bad luck, so it was sold.

For now, use mats as beds instead.

It’s not too late to buy a new bed when your income increases.

When only Lu Weimin and Cheng Zhihan were left in the room.

Cheng Zhihan couldn't help but whispered, "Brother Weimin, where is the suicide note left by Lao Wang? Can I take a look?"

"No problem," Lu Weimin said with a smile and handed the piece of paper to Cheng Zhihan.

Cheng Zhihan opened it and was surprised.

There is no trace of the so-called will of Lao Wang on this piece of paper. It is just an ordinary piece of white paper.

"Huh? Brother Weimin, what's going on?"

“I use this method to intimidate them.

There is no will!"

"But what about tomorrow? Didn't you mention that you were going to the administration?"

“Everything can be settled tonight, and I have no fear of taking a chance with them.

They dare not, if this will is true, it will be troublesome, in this era, ** other people's belongings are regarded as extremely serious behavior! "

Hearing this, Cheng Zhihan suddenly became enlightened.

As expected, Yi Zhonghai came knocking on the door shortly afterwards.

At first, he pretended to be concerned, saying that if Lu Weimin encountered any problems, he could just tell them and they would help solve them;

He then said that disputes between neighbors could be resolved through communication, which would benefit both parties.

Lu Weimin watched him perform and responded with a smile.

As expected, after a while, Yi Zhonghai invited Lu Weimin to go out to discuss something.

Lu Weimin nodded in agreement.

After a few minutes he returned to the house.

"Brother Weimin, what does Yi Zhonghai want to talk to you about?"

"They are panicking! They want to resolve the issue through private negotiation!"

"Did you promise him?"

"I agreed! Because the Jia family firmly believes that those items were indeed given to them by Old Wang when he was alive, but there is actually no will to prove it. I have no choice but to take the opportunity to blackmail them.

I proposed to pay fifty yuan in cash to resolve the dispute! "

"Oh my God! They want fifty dollars. Are they willing to pay? Can they afford it?"

Cheng Zhihan opened her eyes wide in shock.

"According to my observation, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu care about this matter very much. Maybe they also got a share of the Wang family's property, so they are so protective of the Jia family because they are afraid that if something goes wrong, it will affect them...

If I'm not mistaken,

The fifty yuan was compensation paid jointly by the three families.

Mrs. Jia may not have much savings and is reluctant to take out so much money.

As for Sha Zhu, he is still an apprentice in Hongbinlou and does not have much money.

But Yi Zhonghai does.

He started working in the factory when he was very young, and he and Aunt Yi didn't have any children, so they didn't have to pay for it, and their living expenses were frugal. He must have saved a certain amount of money and was indeed capable.

In addition, since he relies on the Jia family to support him in his old age, he will certainly try his best to maintain the stability of the Jia family.

So he will definitely bear the bulk of the cost.

【...】

As the system prompts, Lu Weimin feels quite relieved.

He found that he didn't need to worry about whether his inferences were accurate, as long as he used his thinking, his reasoning ability would improve.

Of course, if the calculation can be done accurately, the increase in reasoning ability will be more significant.

......

Cheng Zhihan's eyes lit up:

"Brother Weimin, your analysis is spot on. You are so smart!"

As she cleaned, she thought about the fifty yuan: "It would be great if they agree to compensate us with this money. Then we can buy a bed and we don't have to let Brother Weimin sleep on the floor.

"

About five to six minutes later.

Someone knocked on the door again, and this time it was Yi Zhonghai who walked in.

Cheng Zhihan's eyes lit up, her heart beat faster, and she was full of anticipation.

Yi Zhonghai: "Xiao Han, where is your brother Wei Min?"

"I'm here!" Lu Weimin's response came from behind.

*

I was so excited. We were actually rich! This was the first time I could eat meat since I fled the famine!

After walking around with Yi Zhonghai, Lu Weimin immediately returned.

Cheng Zhihan immediately came forward, her eyes full of curiosity and longing.

Then Lu Weimin took out the fifty yuan and waved it proudly, saying:

"I have successfully pocketed the fifty yuan, which will be enough to pay back the factory and the manager. With this fifty yuan, our financial situation will be greatly improved, and our lives will get better and better after the salary is paid!"

"Wow! They are really willing to compensate! Brother Weimin, you are really amazing.

We have enough money to buy a new mattress now, so you don't have to sleep on the hard and cold ground!" Cheng Zhihan looked at the fifty yuan in her hand with twinkling eyes.

Lu Weimin said:

“Whether or not to buy a new bed is not the key issue. The key is that since we escaped the disaster, we have almost no clothes, especially you, who only have a few worn-out clothes.

It’s time for us to buy some decent clothes!”

Hearing that Brother Wei Min always considered her, Cheng Zhihan felt warm in her heart, "Brother Wei Min, when I can make money, I will buy you a lot of fashionable clothes!"

"Well, that's great! I'm really looking forward to it, but the most important thing right now is your studies. There will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future!"

They chatted as they prepared dinner. They had not tasted meat since they started wandering, so they would certainly enjoy a good meal tonight.

When Cheng Zhihan's father was alive, he doted on her and almost never let her enter the kitchen. Therefore, Zhihan didn't know how to cook very well, so she had to help on the side and said awkwardly:

"Brother Weimin, I will work hard to learn how to cook. Once I learn, I will let Brother Weimin taste my cooking skills!"

Lu Weimin smiled and replied, "Sure! I'm really looking forward to it!"

As he spoke, he chopped the chicken skillfully.

"Ha! I didn't expect that just chopping a chicken could improve my cooking skills. This system is so great. It's so fun!" Lu Weimin became more and more proficient.

"Wow! Brother Weimin, you are really good. The chicken pieces you chopped are almost the same size and look very neat when put together!"

[Ding! Detected someone praising the protagonist's cooking skills, cooking skills +3]

There is such a thing!

This made Lu Weimin feel very good.

"Ha! Not only am I good at knife skills, my cooking is also delicious. You'll see in a moment!"

About twenty minutes later,

A fragrant aroma wafted out of the pot.

"Wow, it smells so good!" Cheng Zhihan couldn't help drooling after inhaling the intoxicating smell of chicken soup, because she hadn't had chicken soup for a long time.

Next, Lu Weimin began to prepare scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

The fragrance spread through the vents to every corner of the yard.

For the Jia family, daily meals were not good.

Now Jia Dongxu is just an apprentice worker in the factory, with a monthly salary of more than ten yuan, which he has to maintain the basic needs of his mother, wife and children.

Although Lao Jia left behind a legacy when he passed away.

However, Jia Dongxu spent a lot of money on getting married, especially on buying a sewing machine - and this once brought them great face and pride, and Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu still talk about it with relish today.

However, this also makes their economic situation particularly difficult.

Almost every meal consists of steamed corn bread with thin porridge.

Today's dinner was a little better, with just steamed corn bread, pickled vegetables and plain rice.

At this moment, the aroma of meat filled the air.

Jia's grandmother had a keen sense of smell and quickly spotted the aroma. She said with jealousy, "That's the smell of stewed chicken.

Which family is so generous? They can eat meat even if it's not a festival?"

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu lost their appetite immediately after smelling the aroma of chicken soup.

Jia Dongxu suddenly had an idea and turned to Qin Huairu and said, "This fragrance is coming from the central courtyard. Apart from the Fourth Master's family, who else can have such a standard of living and enjoy meat on weekdays?

Hurry up and take your son over with a bowl and ask for some chicken soup, saying it’s for him. Mr. Yi will definitely give him some!”

"That's right! Remember, ask more important questions.

"

When she heard that she would be able to drink chicken soup soon, my grandmother showed her joy and couldn't help swallowing a few times.

"Okay!" Qin Huairu immediately picked up a big bowl and walked out the door with her son when she heard that she also wanted to enjoy the chicken soup.

As soon as she went out, she felt something was wrong.

“Eh!”

Although the doors of Lu Weimin's house were locked, the strong aroma of chicken wafting from the vents was still perceptible.

Qin Huairu still held on to a glimmer of hope. When she visited Yi Zhonghai's house and was on her way back, she completely understood that the Yi family had indeed never stewed chicken, and that the fragrance was indeed the result of the Lu family's work.

Qin Huairu, who was craving for chicken, hesitated for a moment and then walked towards Lu Weimin's residence.

Morality 16: Get lost! This is extremely infuriating, and the Jia family is frustrated!

At Lu Weimin's house, he filled a bowl of hot chicken soup for Cheng Zhihan and handed it to her: "Enjoy the soup while it's hot to drive away the cold, the other dishes will be ready soon.

"

"Brother Weimin, why don't you taste it together? If you don't drink, I won't pick up my chopsticks.

"

"Okay, okay! I will!" Lu Weimin responded with a smile.

After seeing Brother Wei Min pour soup for her, Cheng Zhihan flicked the golden chicken soup a few times and waited until the temperature dropped a little before taking a sip.

The taste made her feel very happy: "Ah! Brother Weimin, this soup is so delicious!"

[Ding! Detected someone praising your cooking skills, your cooking skill +3]

"Hehehe! As long as you like it, just enjoy it!" Seeing that Xiao Han liked the soup he cooked, Lu Weiminguo was very happy.

"Why hasn't Brother Weimin tasted it yet?" Cheng Zhihan asked.

"Okay! I'll start now.

" Then Lu Weimin also began to enjoy this delicacy.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Cheng Zhihan asked.

"It's me, Sister Qin.

"The answer came from outside the door. Before Lu Weimin could stop her, Cheng Zhihan had already opened the door.

Qin Huairu, holding a small stick dog on her back, walked into the room. She smelled the stronger aroma of chicken and swallowed her saliva unconsciously - that whole pot of golden soup was extremely tempting and aroused a strong appetite.

On the plate, a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes is being prepared.

There are fried green vegetables and white rice on the side, which makes the meal very rich.

These delicacies made her unable to take her eyes off them.

The little chicken terrier behind Qin Huairu, who seemed to be only about one year old, was also a real foodie. When he smelled the aroma, he immediately squeaked as if shouting, "Mom! I want to drink this chicken soup."

"Oh, Wei Min, Xiao Han, are you making dinner? It looks like stewed chicken, it smells so good! The scrambled eggs with tomatoes, green vegetables and white rice are also mouth-watering, they look really good!" Qin Huairu said with a wry smile.

Because Cheng Zhihan knew that this woman and her family had once plotted to seize her family's property and property - if it weren't for Brother Wei Min's wit, she would not have received any compensation at all, so she didn't have much good feelings towards Qin Huairu.

But as a polite response: "It is indeed chicken soup.

"

Then he remained silent and did not say anything else.

On the other hand, Lu Weimin was more straightforward and said, "Qin Huairu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

This made Qin Huairu look quite embarrassed;

But this person is indeed very thick-skinned: "After all, we are good neighbors who stay together.

Although there was a misunderstanding before, fortunately, we have now resolved the misunderstanding, so I came to ask what you plan to eat in the evening - if you really need something, my family has some noodles and yam to provide; neighbors support each other and go through difficulties together, but now it seems that you have a rich meal, so I am relieved!"

Qin Huairu stopped talking here.

She felt that her performance just now was quite wonderful! She understood that although the Jia family and Lu Weimin's family had a dispute before, didn't they finally reach a settlement through compensation? Even though most of the money was actually funded by Yi Zhonghai, and her family paid almost nothing.

Now that she has taken the initiative to show her goodwill, Lu Weimin and his sister will no longer be angry at the Jia family, right? At least, they will give positive feedback, right?

If Lu Weimin really gave a kind response.

Qin Huairu felt that she had a reason to ask for some delicious food.

She believed that a 10-year-old boy would not have the nerve to refuse a mother with a young child in her arms.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be fooled by Qin Huairu's performance.

However, for Lu Weimin, he knew the Jia family clearly, especially Qin Huairu.

They are like ungrateful people who only remember hatred and forget kindness.

After a first time, there will be a second time, or even a lifetime of exploitation.
