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

Intermediate Court

Yi Zhonghai returned to his room with a gloomy face and lay on the kang to rest. His mind was blank and he didn't know what to do. There was no light in his eyes.

After a while, the deaf old lady in the backyard came over with the help of a lady. The old lady with bound feet sat on the kang and looked at the decadent Yi Zhonghai, who was lying on the kang with a lost look. She felt a little distressed.

After all, Yi Zhonghai has taken care of me for so long, and the affection between them is still very deep. I also treat Old Yi as my own son or nephew.

"Zhong Hai, since this has already happened, escaping is not a problem now, and there are solutions."

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai immediately perked up and struggled to sit up.

"You need to keep a low profile now. This matter has caused a lot of uproar in the city. Your reputation has been ruined. This cannot be changed in a short period of time."

"You have to hide in the yard first. Wait for a few months, and when no one mentions this matter anymore, you can come out and move around."

"When the time comes, take care of the needy families in this courtyard, as well as those in the neighboring courtyards, and help them every now and then. In this way, your reputation will slowly return."

After hearing this plan, Yi Zhonghai perked up. The old lady's idea was very good and a good idea.

"As for the kid in the backyard, don't touch him yet. He's covered in thorns, and he's got the family of a martyr on his head. He's still weak. If you provoke him, what will you do when he lies there?"

"If you let that brat plot against you again, you'll really have to spend the rest of your life in labor reform."

Yi Zhonghai spoke weakly.

"Old lady, I understand, don't worry. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge."

"That brat has to work in the factory. Once he gets in, I'll show you how I can deal with him, with my many years of connections."

A gleam of light flashed in the deaf old lady's eyes.

Alas, Yi Zhonghai did not learn his lesson this time. I will have to remind him more often in the future.

"By the way, you should be nice to Zhuzi during this period. Zhuzi was fined so much money all of a sudden, and now he has trouble eating and drinking. You should take good care of him when the time comes."

"If you ask me, you still have to find Zhuzi to take care of your old age. This kid has a good heart. As long as you treat him well, he will be filial to you in the future."

During this period, Yi Zhonghai didn't care much about Zhuzi. Currently, Jia Dongxu was his only choice for retirement, and he also responded to the old lady's kindness.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's perfunctory expression, the deaf old lady didn't say much. The blisters on her feet were caused by walking, so it was his business what he chose.

Anyway, I don’t have many years left to live, so I don’t care what happens in the future.

After saying this, he let the lady help him go back.

Intermediate Court

At He Yuzhu's home, He Yuzhu was sitting on the kang with a dark face, smoking a cigarette. He Yushui, who hadn't done his homework after school, just sat beside him.

He Yushui is 12 years old this year. Since his father He Daqing abandoned them and ran away with a widow, He Yushui has been dependent on his brother He Yuzhu. Naturally, he has a deep affection for his brother.

It is not the late stage yet. Although Sha Zhu is a little obsessed with Qin Huairu, he has not been tricked yet and is still very close to He Yushui.

Although He Yushui is young, he is very thoughtful. His father ran away when he was young, so he is very sensitive and thinks twice before doing anything.

Looking at my silly brother smoking there in a depressed mood.

He Yushui started talking immediately.

"Don't be depressed, silly brother. That's called spending money to avoid disaster."

"You don't deserve this loss. We can earn money again if we lose it, but if you go in, it will be the end. You will be ruined."

After hearing Yu Shui's advice, Sha Zhu thought about it and realized that it was indeed the truth.

"Silly brother, you have a bad reputation now. It's hard for you to find a wife."

"When Zhang Minghui comes back, go and apologize to him. We live in the same courtyard together and he knows who you are. There won't be much to say then."

Sha Zhu raised his head, his eyes a little dazed, and nodded subconsciously.

"We've suffered a huge loss this time, let's bow down to that brat first!"

This time he really had a lot of feelings. In the past, he had an old man protecting him and he could beat anyone he wanted in the yard. Now the old man has come down.

If he doesn't admit defeat, he will definitely suffer. He Yuzhu has his own cleverness.

At present, Yi Zhonghai’s brainwashing is not so thorough, so He Yuzhu can still distinguish between good and bad.

Seeing Silly Brother nodded in agreement, He Yushui breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that this silly brother would get silly again and refuse to listen to advice. Fortunately, Silly Brother did not insist this time.

"Silly brother, take a break. I'll go cook today."

Hearing this, Shazhu came to his senses.

"Hey, come on, I have to cook this meal. Your cooking skills are so poor that even pigs wouldn't eat the meal you make."

"Hate."

He rolled his eyes at Shazhu and ran to his room angrily to do his homework.

Intermediate Court

Jia Dongxu's family received a notice that Jia Zhang was detained in the police station for seven days of education. When Jia Dongxu heard that she would only be detained for seven days, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's OK. Fortunately, I didn't have to undergo labor reform."

Qin Huairu cursed in her heart.

"Why is it only seven days? Why not a few more years? This damn old lady is never at peace at home. She either makes trouble or bullies me. It's best if she never comes back."

He had a sad look on his face and spoke with a wry smile.

"Oh, Mom is going to suffer in the police station this time. Dongxu, do you have any ideas to get Mom out earlier?"

Jia Dongxu immediately said unhappily.

"What can I do? My master has already received such a severe punishment. I might as well let my mother stay in there for a few days."

"There isn't much food these days. Go to the police station tomorrow and bring some blankets and mattresses to Mom. Tell her not to cause any more trouble in there."

After hearing what Jia Dongxu said, Qin Huairu felt helpless. Who can discipline your mother? Maybe the police station can. If I talk to her, will she listen?

At the home of the second uncle Liu Haizhong in the backyard, the whole family was having dinner.

Liu Haizhong was drinking wine and eating scrambled eggs. His chubby face seemed to have an inexplicable glow. He wanted to sing a song.

After decades, the mountain pressing down on our heads has finally been removed.

I have lived in this courtyard since before liberation.

Yi Zhonghai has always been superior to me. In the factory, he is a seventh-level fitter and I am a sixth-level forger. In the courtyard, he is the eldest uncle and I am the second uncle.

Putting pressure on yourself everywhere.

Now you dare to bully the families of martyrs, and you are getting retribution this time.

Just because you are more powerful than me, my title has been downgraded and I have been dismissed from my post. This time, I have the final say in the yard.

Thinking of this, I happily drank a sip of wine and ate a bite of an egg, feeling so happy.

Even though the two little bastards stole eggs, Liu Haizhong didn't bother with them today. If it were usual, he would have given them a slap in the face and a big belt.
