Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

"Why are you pushing me, Lao Yi, are you going to turn against me?"

Jia Zhang covered her buttocks with one hand and grimaced in pain, while she wiped her tears with the other hand and spoke in a trembling voice.

Yi Zhonghai felt his eyes go dark and his heart tremble.

This only added fuel to the fire. I was afraid that the matter would get worse, so I had to lean over to comfort her first.

When Sha Zhu heard the noise, he hurried out to check, and was frightened when he saw the scene.

"Hey, what are you two doing? You're old and still fighting?"

"Can I beat him? I'll beat him if he hits me first!"

Jia Zhang spoke in a crisp and loud voice, and everyone in the courtyard could hear it.

Since they had nothing to do after dinner, they all ran out to watch the fun.

Lao Yi was also afraid that the matter would become known to everyone, so he hurried to make up for it.

"Sister-in-law, I just touched you lightly, why did you fall down like a paper man?"

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai kept winking at her, Jia Zhang didn't want to offend him, so she had to stand up silently.

Yi Zhonghai hinted to Sha Zhu to lend a hand, and the two of them worked together to get the matter over with.

But because there were so many people, the story spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. By the time it reached the twentieth person, it had already distorted its meaning.

Words like "Old Yi extended his evil claws to women, not only beating his wife but also widows" were widely circulated.

Although Jia Zhang did not ask for a huge amount of money blatantly, Lao Yi still compensated her with half a bag of fine grain flour afterwards.

He also repeatedly told her to keep a distance from him in the courtyard in the future. Although Jia Zhang was reluctant, she reluctantly agreed for the sake of food.

However, the success of this incident was purely accidental, but it inspired Jia Zhang.

It turns out that you can also get unexpected gains using this method!

Yi Zhonghai had just paid for half a bag of fine-grain flour and was feeling very unhappy. Adding on to Tan Wenling's cold attitude, he had no desire to go home and simply ate dinner at Shazhu.

At the dinner table, Sha Zhu specially prepared two side dishes, and they both drank to drown their sorrows.

For Sha Zhu, not being able to get married is the most important issue, and everything else is just a passing cloud. He wouldn't take it to heart even if he sold his house.

But Lao Yi is different. He has invested too much in Sha Zhu in the early stage, so much that he feels a little bit painful.

Coupled with the alienation from the outside world and the removal of the manager, everything has been going wrong for him recently.

The more he drank, the more depressed he became. "Zhu Zi, do you think we have ever had peace since Xiao Weiguo moved into this courtyard? He's always looking for trouble with you or me. We are such enemies!"

Lao Yi was depressed and drank to relieve his sorrow, but he didn't drink too much.

But Sha Zhu got more and more drunk the more he drank, and after a few drinks he began to lose his mind.

"Old Yi, you will always be the boss in my heart, and no one can replace you! If this courtyard wants to return to its former peace, you have to come out and take charge of the situation. I don't believe that Xiao Weiguo won't make mistakes. As long as we keep a close eye on him and seize the opportunity to beat him to death, he must step down!"

Sha Zhu became more and more excited as he spoke with his big tongue, and Yi Zhonghai felt comfortable listening to him.

At least I haven't lost Sha Zhu's heart. Even though it's difficult for me to move forward, as long as Sha Zhu is still here, it's enough.

Old Yi felt very happy when he figured this out, and he was no longer depressed when drinking his wine.

The two of them drank until midnight, which directly caused Sha Zhu to be late for work the next morning. He woke up in a daze at nine o'clock.

"Hey, silly Zhu, look at the smell in your room, it stinks so bad, you better close the door!"

Aunt Li passed by and couldn't help but cover her nose and complain, but Sha Zhu just smiled and couldn't help but think of which bachelor's house could have such a good smell, and couldn't help but frown and sigh again.

By the time he packed up and went out, it was already noon. He knew that if he went to the cafeteria at this time, the director would definitely find fault with him, so he decided to just leisurely enjoy a sunbath.

"Good morning, Uncle Zhang. You made a wrong move. If you take a step back, you will have a broader horizon and can eat his car!"

"Go to hell, idiot. Don't you know the rule of not speaking when watching a game of chess? It's been a few days, go to work!"

Sha Zhu shook his head in dissatisfaction and was about to retort when he was stopped by someone.

"Zhu Zi, I heard that the postman Xiao Li was looking for you yesterday. How come someone actually wrote you a love letter?"

love letter?

Postman?

Sha Zhu was a bit confused after hearing this, and his thoughts drifted back to last night. Then he remembered that Yan Fugui had something to talk to him about, and claimed that he would regret it if he didn't listen.

Isn’t this right?

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu quickened his pace and headed straight for the post office.

When he arrived, Xiao Li happened to be out delivering a letter and was not there, so he was asked to wait aside.

During this period, he was not idle, with his hands behind his back, looking forward to the good news that would come from the sky.

As I walked around, I felt sad. I hadn't been to the post office for years, and no one cared about me...

"He... He Yuzhu?"

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Xiao Li finally came back.

At first sight, Sha Zhu was not sure, although he had run into him several times when delivering letters in the alley. But he didn't know if it was because he was drunk last night, but when he saw Xiao Li today, he felt that he looked a lot older.

"Hey, it's me, Xiao Li! Why are you making such a fuss? It's not like we don't know each other! What, do you have a letter for me?"

Xiao Li frowned, "Oh, no!"

Sha Zhu was also stunned and scratched his head, "No, why are you looking for me if there is no letter from me!"

Xiao Li blinked and tried to recall. "Oh, hi, you've got me confused. I came to you yesterday because someone wanted to buy stamps from a few years ago. I happened to be delivering a letter to the entrance of your alley and thought of you. I wanted to ask if you still have the stamps from before?"

Shazhu was completely confused by all the talk of this vote and that vote, while Xiao Li looked sincere and didn't sound like he was joking.

Seeing his confused face, Xiao Li quickly explained, "Brother Zhuzi, those stamps in the early years were just a memory in your hands, but now as long as you take them out, someone will buy them at a high price. You can still make a lot of money, why not do it!"

Shazhu was now completely confused, scratching his head vigorously with a puzzled look on his face.

"How did you know I had stamps?"

Xiao Li clapped his hands on his forehead and touched Sha Zhu's forehead, "Brother Zhu, you don't have a fever. You haven't received any letters in the past one or two years, so you have forgotten everything that happened before!"

hiss……

The more Sha Zhu listened, the more curious he became, and he continued talking along the lines of what Xiao Li said.

Only then did I find out that he had been receiving letters from me every month for the past few years, and this had been going on for ten years.

However, they were all signed for by Yi Zhonghai on his behalf. At first, he signed for them at the doorstep of his home. Later, Yi Zhonghai went to the post office in person to pick them up, and he never missed the date.

Sha Zhu's face was filled with shock, and his eyes widened twice!

When Xiao Li saw Sha Zhu's expression, he swallowed and realized that something was wrong.

"Xiao Li, please help me mail this letter!"

"Hey, it's coming!"

As soon as Xiao Li turned around to do his work, beads of sweat appeared on Sha Zhu's face.

"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you here at this hour instead of cooking in the kitchen?"

"Hey, I'm talking to you, He Yuzhu!"

"He Yuzhu!"

Sha Zhu just felt that someone was calling him, but he was completely sinking into a confused world. In the end, Xiao Weiguo slapped the person back.

"Forehead……"

Sha Zhu subconsciously covered his face with a look of surprise, and the onlookers then breathed a sigh of relief.

"My goodness, he looks like he has lost his soul. It's so scary!"

Xiao Li wiped the sweat off his face and glanced at Xiao Weiguo from time to time. When Sha Zhu saw that the person who hit him was Xiao Weiguo, he stood up immediately.

"Why did you hit me?"

"What are you doing here?"

The two of them asked questions at the first moment, and Sha Zhu finally realized, who sent the letter to him?

"Xiao Li, can you help me find the information? Who sent me the letter?"

Xiao Li subconsciously glanced at Xiao Weiguo, then nodded vaguely and went to the archive room.

In the hall, Sha Zhu and Xiao Weiguo stood side by side, so awkward that it seemed as if the air had frozen.
