From Siheyuan to Hong Kong Island Tycoon

In the courtyard of Nanluogu Lane, Shazhu was taking care of Ran Qiuye's mother and son while doing housework.

A few months ago, Shazhu and Ran Qiuye's child was finally born. Perhaps God's will had it that the child was named He Xiao just like in the original drama.

Ran Qiuye looked at Sha Zhu who was sweating profusely and said, "Zhu, stop working so hard. Our house is clean enough for you, so you should take a rest."

Silly Zhu bared his teeth and said with a smile: "You're not tired. Keeping the house tidy will be good for you and our son."

"Daughter-in-law, you are weak, just leave all the menial work to me."

Ran Qiuye was also moved to tears when she heard Sha Zhu's concern. Seeing this, Sha Zhu quickly changed the subject and said, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are coming to our house for dinner today, and my father went to the market early in the morning to buy vegetables."

Ran Qiuye said: "Zhuzi, I'm not that squeamish. Don't let our dad spend money all the time. His money is all rainwater left for him to support him in his old age. What's the matter with him always buying things for us?"

"You are now the deputy director of the cafeteria, and the family's income is enough, so please don't bother my dad anymore."

Silly Zhu said: "I have told him many times, but every time he perfunctoryly agrees to me."

At Qin Huairu's house in the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu was mending clothes in the house.

In the past half year, Qin Huairu had calculated a lot of money from Yi Zhonghai. Although Yi Zhonghai had some objections to her in his heart, he still endured it silently.

After all, Qin Huairu and the two little girls still have to support themselves in their old age, so he can't fall out with Qin Huairu no matter what.

However, at this time, Yi Zhonghai finally understood Qin Huairu's true face, but he woke up too late.

Qin Huairu said to herself while mending clothes: "Damn silly Zhu, why did you marry Ran Qiuye?"

"Have I not been nice to you all these years? If you could have married me, then wouldn't we be a family?"

"That way, not only will He Daqing's money be entrusted to me for safekeeping, but even those houses will be mine."

"Si Zhu is an ungrateful white-eyed wolf. Back then, I tried my best to help him clean up the house, unlike that woman Ran Qiuye who didn't do any housework."

"The most hateful thing is the third uncle in the front yard. If he hadn't introduced Ran Qiuye to Sha Zhu, how could Sha Zhu have left me?"

"In short, there is no good person in this courtyard. They all bully our orphans and widowed mother."

Perhaps Qin Huairu herself did not realize that she had now become the second Jia Zhang family in the courtyard.

It's just that she is very scheming and knows how to cover up, and is not as messy as Jia Zhang.

Of course, there is a famous saying that says: Those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black. It is very normal for Qin Huairu to become what he is now.

Now, the Jia Zhang family is even more miserable. Except for a few steamed buns and stick noodle porridge, Jia Zhang family can't eat anything every day.

Compared with when she was fat before, she is completely different now.

She missed the time when Qin Huairu took care of her when she was at Jia's house.

She walked out of the utility room tremblingly, then stood weakly in the middle courtyard and shouted: "Huairu, why didn't you bring me food today?"

"If you forget, I can just come and get it myself."

Qin Huairu suddenly felt dissatisfied when she heard Jia Zhang's shouting. She put down her needle and thread, opened the door and shouted: "You old woman, why are you urging me? It's not time to finish eating yet."

Jia Zhang said with a smile: "Huai Ru, the steamed buns in the morning were a little small, so I didn't eat enough."

Qin Huairu said coldly: "Just be patient for now, I will give you food in two hours."

Jia Zhang opened her mouth and wanted to say something else, but in the end she didn't speak to urge Qin Huairu.

Looking at Mrs. Jia Zhang's stooped back, Qin Huairu felt no sympathy in her heart.

If this dead old woman and Bang Gang hadn't scolded Silly Zhu at the beginning, then Silly Zhu would not have drawn a clear line with himself.

Yi Zhonghai, who was in the room, naturally saw the scene that happened in the middle courtyard. To be honest, Yi Zhonghai was scared. He was afraid that he would become like Jia Zhang.

Qin Huairu had indeed promised to support him in his old age, but if he treated Jia Zhang as he did, he would not even have a place to cry by then.

In the past half year, he had given Qin Huairu a lot of money to support his family, but the food at night was indeed getting worse and worse.

At the beginning, I would make some pork belly stewed with cabbage, but now I really can’t see any fishy smell at all. I just eat potatoes, cabbage and pickles all day long.

If his retirement life is like this in the future, then what's the point of living for him?

Wasn't it because I wanted to live frugally and live a happy old age? Why is it so difficult to find someone to support me in my old age?

On the other hand, the life of the first aunt is getting better and better now. She either goes to the front yard to chat with the third aunt or goes to Shazhu's house to help Ran Qiuye take care of the children.

Occasionally, Silly Zhu would let her have dinner at home. Is it true that God is not as good as man, and his cleverness is misled by his cleverness?

Qin Huairu was very good to Yi Zhonghai at first, but as time went by, she found that Yi Zhonghai was not as easy to fool as she thought.

Gradually, Qin Huairu lost her patience, and her attitude towards Yi Zhonghai was not as caring as at first.

Yi Zhonghai thought: "This can't continue like this, he must save himself."

"It seems that I still have to find Shazhu to provide for myself in old age. He is the only one who is most reliable. Just look at how nourishing He Daqing's life is now."

"But now the relationship with Shazhu and his family has become like this. To put it bluntly, they are almost enemies. How to repair the relationship with Shazhu and his family has become a difficult problem in Yi Zhonghai's mind."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help shouting in his heart, this question is too difficult, I can't do it.

As for the second-worst family in the courtyard, Liu Haizhong's family in the backyard was in the backyard. Ever since those two incidents happened to Liu Haizhong's family, their family's living standard has plummeted.

Liu Haizhong used to eat two fried eggs with wine every day, but now, let alone eggs, he can even eat stick noodles and steamed buns.

From a seventh-level worker in the factory to a toilet cleaner, only Liu Haizhong knew the psychological gap.

But fortunately, the second aunt was very kind to Liu Haizhong. Even if he was in despair now, she would not leave him.

The second aunt said to Liu Haizhong: "Old Liu really can't do it. You can ask Shazhu for help tomorrow. He is now the deputy director of the canteen of the steel rolling mill. Maybe you can help and talk to the factory director to cancel your punishment."

Hearing Silly Zhu's name, Liu Haizhong said angrily: "Even if I go to the street to beg for food, I won't beg that bastard."

The second aunt said: "Old Liu, what time has it been? Can you change your temper?"

"You heard me right. After all, you have watched Shazhu grow up. As long as you ask, he will not fail to help."
