Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

Intermediate Court

Jia Zhang stared at the gate of He Yuzhu's house, her eyes flashing with ferocity, she gritted her teeth and kept cursing.

"You bastards just like to bully me. He Daqing, you are such a bastard, you didn't even bother to send some meat to our house. You only know how to eat all by yourself, why don't you eat me to death?"

"Yi Zhonghai, you old loser, you are doomed to die a miserable death. How can you divorce? Those are all our Jia family's assets. Why give them to that dead old woman?"

Jia Dongxu sat on the kang, smoking silently, with an extremely gloomy expression. Hearing the news that his master and his master's wife were divorced, Jia Dongxu was a little confused. Bad things kept coming one after another.

Jia Dongxu didn't know what to do.

Jia Zhang suddenly turned around, looked at Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu, and spoke loudly.

"No, Dongxu, we have to take action. We must drive He Daqing away and let Sha Zhu support our family. Otherwise, we won't be able to live like this."

Yan Fugui sat on the chair with a wooden expression, his eyes behind the mirror were a little cold, and he was muttering softly.

"He Daqing, you don't give me, Yan Fugui, any face. I can't get any benefit from you! So don't blame me for being ruthless."

As the children returned home to tell their stories, the adults in each family had different feelings. Although they didn't say anything, they were all thinking about it in their hearts.

He Daqing is not a fool and is very experienced in doing things. He just hasn't seen his two children for many years and was a little careless.

In order to make up for his debt to his children, He Daqing spent a lot of money outside and bought a lot of delicious food, just to let his children eat more good food.

But he forgot that this is a difficult period, and the problem is not the lack of food but the inequality of food. How can your neighbors who eat coarse grains face the fact that you eat meat and fish every day?

How can it not make people jealous and envious?

He Daqing was still unaware of the changes in his neighbors and was running outside every day.

Eight in the morning

Zhang Minghui reluctantly climbed up from the kang. After having Doudou, he was less prone to staying in bed. He put on a grey cotton jacket, black cotton pants, and a pair of cotton slippers.

After putting it on, I immediately felt warm.

But it is very difficult to go to the toilet when dressed like this. Nowadays, cotton pants are all suspender type, which is easy to put on but troublesome to take off.

I opened the door and saw a vast expanse of white outside. It had snowed again last night. I ignored it and went to the corner, got a few pieces of honeycomb coal and brought them into the house.

In order to take out the burnt coal, I had to get up one or two times during the night, for fear that the honeycomb coal would burn out and I wouldn't have time to replace it. That would be a terrible thing.

Then I poured hot water from the stove and started washing and rinsing.

When I heard some noise in the room, I knew Doudou had woken up. I went into the room and saw Doudou sitting on the kang, rubbing his eyes with his two little hands and calling out softly.

"Brother, brother."

Seeing Doudou so cute, Zhang Minghui couldn't help but hug Doudou, kissed him twice, and wrapped the quilt tightly around Doudou's little body. He asked in a low voice.

"Doudou, you're awake now. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Doudou is now much more sober and speaks in a soft voice.

"I don't want to sleep anymore. I remembered it."

Zhang Minghui helped Doudou put on her cotton jacket and trousers, let her wash her face by herself, and then Zhang Minghui went to the toilet to empty the spittoon.

When I came back, I saw several women chatting in the middle courtyard.

Zhang Minghui, who originally wanted to go home, heard the name of the deaf old lady, so he couldn't help but stop and asked a question for fun.

"Isn't the deaf old lady fine? What happened?"

Aunt Sun looked at Zhang Minghui's confused expression and hurriedly explained.

"Hey, Minghui, you don't know, didn't Auntie move out yesterday? We forgot to tell the deaf old lady, and the old lady didn't know about it, and she almost froze to death in the house."

Zhang Minghui got interested when he heard this. When he saw Aunt Sun pause, he knew that Aunt Sun had put it on the shelf again. He hurriedly urged her.

"Hey, Aunt Sun, hurry up and tell me! I'm so anxious."

Aunt Sun covered her mouth and laughed. Seeing the anxious Zhang Minghui, she felt a sense of accomplishment and continued her story.

"Hey, the deaf old lady has been taken care of by Auntie for many years. After Auntie passed away yesterday, no one changed the honeycomb coal for the old lady. The old lady fell asleep in the house, and no one paid attention to her."

"I suffered a lot this evening. If it weren't for my old Sun who passed by the door in the morning and heard the old lady groaning, he would have realized something was wrong and went in to take a look."

"Maybe the old lady froze to death in the house and no one knew about it. Look, she was sent to the hospital early in the morning."

Hearing this, Zhang Minghui understood what had happened. The old lady left and the deaf lady was shocked. The days from now on would be difficult.

It has to be said that the aunt has been taking care of the deaf old lady for so many years and she is so considerate, otherwise the deaf old lady would not have taken such good care of Yi Zhonghai.

After a brief chat with Aunt Sun, Zhang Minghui went home, still thinking about the deaf old lady.

This deaf old lady is the backer of Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu, and she is also related to my life span. It seems that I have to make some careful calculations.

The deaf old lady stayed in the hospital for the next two days and never came back. The neighbors said that the problem was not serious and she just needed to rest in the hospital for two days.

That night, Zhang Minghui was holding Doudou and chatting with Xu Damao. Xu Damao's current job was very easy as the factory no longer had any tasks for him to go to the countryside.

He just wandered around the factory every day and didn't dare to continue targeting Sha Zhu. After all, his father was at home, and Xu Damao was worried that He Daqing would deal with him.

The two were talking about the factory news when they suddenly heard a commotion coming from the middle courtyard. And the noise was getting louder and louder.

Xu Damao rushed out with a quick step, shouting as he ran.

"Minghui, keep up."

Zhang Minghui ran to the front yard holding Doudou and saw several police officers standing in the middle yard. Their expressions were very serious. All the neighbors in the yard came, and even people from the outside yard came in to watch the fun.

A public security comrade shouted at the door of He Daqing's house.

"Comrade He Daqing, please come out. Someone has reported you for speculation and profiteering. We are investigating according to the law."

He Daqing walked out of the house with a bewildered look on his face. He Yuzhu and He Yushui, who were following behind him, were terrified and couldn't help but tremble.

Seeing He Daqing who was leading the group, the public security comrade spoke with a serious expression.

"Excuse me, are you Comrade He Daqing?"

He Daqing nodded woodenly and spoke in a low voice.

"I am He Daqing."

The public security comrade waved to the back, and two public security comrades came over and took He Daqing aside.
