Siheyuan: The Rebirth of the Silly Pillar in the 50s

Siheyuan.

The Jia family's rice vat became empty soon after Jia Dongxu left.

Make bricks without straw.

It was almost dinner time, and Qin Huairu fell into an unprecedented hatred when facing the empty rice vat.

She ran to the bedroom and asked Jia Zhang, "When will Dongxu send us money? Our family has no food!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang sneered and said: "If you don't have it, don't eat it. You count on my son for everything! I'm afraid my son will be dragged to death by you!"

"Am I the only one who eats it and you don't?"

Qin Huairu retorted.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law now spend more time alone together.

The two of them no longer have to act in front of Jia Dongxu.

When two people talk at home, it's like fighting.

I pretended not to recognize him when I saw him in the compound.

The intense relationship makes their lives tense every day.

"What's wrong with me eating? That's my son! I gave birth to him, so I shouldn't eat him!"

"Then I'm still his wife! If he doesn't even give me food for stuttering, why should I marry him?"

The two fell silent.

It was finally broken by the growling sound of Jia Zhang's stomach.

"How about you ask Yi Zhonghai."

Jia Zhang said with a long sigh of relief.

Qin Huairu sat down, looking very embarrassed.

"Yi Zhonghai hasn't talked to us for a long time. Since Jia Dongxu left, he seems to have ignored our family. Look, it's hanging!"

"Then what do you say?"

Jia Zhang is in a hurry.

"Dongxu is his apprentice and his godson after all. Doesn't he expect Dongxu to take care of himself in old age? This old guy just needs to be dealt with! Eternally ungrateful! Eternally selfish! Always only for himself!"

"What's the point of scolding you here?"

Qin Huairu got angry thinking about Yi Zhonghai's attitude towards their family after Jia Dongxu left.

If Jia Dongxu doesn't send money, they won't have money to spend.

If you don’t have money, you can’t buy rice and noodles.

She didn't have much to eat.

But Jia Zhang's appetite is like that of a pig.

Although the relationship between the two is not good.

But there was no way that Qin Huairu would starve her mother to death if Jia Dongxu was not at home.

"If I don't scold him, I will scold you! Just do whatever I ask you to do! You are grinding, I think you just want to starve me to death!"

"You asked me to go, why didn't you go?"

Qin Huairu continued to refute.

"How should I go? Everyone in the compound thinks that I have an affair with Yi Zhonghai. If I go to him again to ask for food, what will people think of me? You are also a woman. Don't you know that innocence is important to a woman? How important is it?”

Qin Huairu was unable to refute Jia Zhang's words.

And it's not a matter of innocence.

What bothers Yi Zhonghai the most is Jia Zhang.

She went to him to ask for food.

You will definitely suffer a loss.

They both have to eat anyway. If Jia Zhang doesn't go, she, Qin Huairu, has to go.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu reluctantly stood up and walked towards Yi Zhonghai's house.

Yi Zhonghai tensed up when he heard the knock on the door. He had just bought a bottle of wine and a few side dishes and was preparing to have a delicious meal.

Needless to say, the person knocking on the door must be someone from the Jia family.

He hurriedly hid all the food while answering.

He didn't want them to see it.

Let them see that you can no longer pretend to be poor.

Jia Dongxu is gone, why should he support his wife and mother?

"Huairu..."

Yi Zhonghai opened the door with a smile.

Qin Huairu smelled the aroma of meat at the door, but when she stretched her neck and looked inside, there was nothing on the table.

She probably understood.

This old thing is just protecting himself.

"Uncle Yi, you haven't eaten either?"

Yi Zhonghai changed the topic with some embarrassment: "What do you want from me?"

"Uncle Yi, I didn't want to speak at first. But our family really has no rice to cook. Dongxu hasn't sent us money for a long time. It's really hard to live... Just look at it, otherwise we will Are you going to follow the agreement?"

"Agreement? What agreement?"

Yi Zhonghai deliberately pretended to be stupid.

"This is the pension agreement we signed!"

Qin Huairu hit a straight ball.

"You said that!"

Yi Zhonghai stood up and walked around the room: "Today is different from the past, Huai Ru. Once the agreement is signed, it will always be valid. But the factory is undergoing reforms recently. All the money is going to that high-tech talent. The income of ordinary skilled workers like us has dropped sharply. Hey, you don’t understand even after I told you. In short, your Uncle Yi’s family has no food left!”

"No matter what you do, you can only feed yourself and the whole family is not hungry. Look at us, Dongxu has to feed three people by himself. It is really hard for him there, and living in the dormitory inevitably involves social expenses. If he takes care of his family, he will definitely I’m not enough anymore. Dongxu is your apprentice after all. Why don’t you just treat him as a helper?”

"But Jia Dongxu is no longer my apprentice!"

Yi Zhonghai stopped pretending and had a showdown.

Jia Dongxu is gone, why do you still expect him to provide for you in old age?

He thought about it for a few nights and finally figured it out.

It’s still unclear when Jia Dongxu will come back and whether he can come back!

Can you still provide for yourself in old age when no one else can come back?

Jia Dongxu's loss of pension value is equivalent to the loss of him, Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai specified that he would no longer take care of the Jia family.

"Once a teacher, always a father. Uncle Yi, you were not like this before!"

"What kind of person am I that I need you to tell me what to do?"

Yi Zhonghai pointed at Qin Huairu's nose and said: "What kind of good thing are you yourself? You secretly hide the money I gave you. Don't you just want to leave the Jia family? Jia Zhang has all the money you have hidden." Give it to Jia Dongxu, you have no money and you can’t leave, so you come to me and cry about poverty.”

Qin Huairu was at a loss for words for a while.

There was no way to refute it.

"I'll tell you the truth. The affairs of your Jia family have nothing to do with me from now on. When Dongxu was here, I helped your family so that Jia Dongxu could provide for me in my old age. Now that Jia Dongxu is gone, what do I expect from you? ? Do you expect you to pester me every day to ask for money and food? Do I raise your family of parasites and vampires to waste your hard-earned money? If you have nothing else to do, just leave as soon as possible and don't be an eyesore here!"

Yi Zhonghai said a lot without mercy.

Qin Huairu fell into despair.

She knew that if she negotiated with Yi Zhonghai in a normal negotiation tone, she would definitely not get anything she wanted.

She needed to show weakness.

This is what she is best at.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu knelt down on the ground with a plop.

Yi Zhonghai froze for a moment.

Before Qin Huairu could speak, Jia Zhang's roar came from the courtyard: "Who are you! Why do you want to take away my house!"
