Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

Sha Zhu hummed a little tune without any tact as he walked towards the two old men, looking at Yi Zhonghai with a shifty look in his eyes.

"Uncle, do we want this meat or not?"

Before Yi Zhonghai could speak, Liu Haizhong's swollen face stretched out and said, "If you want it, you're a fool if you don't want the free benefits!"

"Hey, Second Master, why are you acting like Old Man Yan? Can't you be tough for once? A real man won't accept food given out of pity."

Liu Haizhong's eyes widened in anger and he flicked Sha Zhu's head, "Do you think I am you? If you are full, the whole family will not be hungry. My whole family depends on this little meat for the New Year! Go away, if you have the guts, don't eat it and leave it for me!"

"Hey, Uncle, it's meaningless for you to say that. It's like I want it. If I don't want it, I won't give it to you. I still have to send it to my grandma!"

The fat face with bangs was muttering and gasping for breath. This piece of meat simply saved his life. He just spent two hundred yuan and his family was extremely poor. Without this meat, they couldn't even have dumplings for the New Year. He had to take the meat even if he was shameless.

But Yi Zhonghai was deeply irritated. Every word of Sha Zhu was like a knife stabbing into his heart. He turned around and vented his anger on Liu Haizhong.

"Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat...you can't do anything good, but you always cause trouble!"

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai put his hands behind his back and walked away without even glancing at the crowd.

Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment, scratched his head, and ran over Liu Haizhong to queue up. Even if he was killed, he would not eat a single bite of the meat. A man in Beijing could not lose face.

But as long as he takes one copy, Sister Qin will have one extra copy!

At that time, not only could he make the beauty smile, but he could also take advantage of Xiao Weiguo's support. The more Sha Zhu thought about it, the happier he became.

Liu Haizhong saw Shazhu go away happily, so he stopped smiling. What's the point of having a face at this time? Can you eat your face?

In the compound, when the men got home from get off work, the news that Xiao Weiguo had obtained benefits for the workers spread throughout the compound.

Yan Fugui, a non-staff member, was so envious after hearing this that he slapped his thigh in regret. What was the point of being an honest people's teacher?

It would be better to go to the steel mill and work for Xiao Weiguo to make a living.

Listening to the laughter in the yard, Jia Dongxu became even more angry. Since there was no convenient weapon around, he took his anger out on Bang Geng.

"You bastard, you're destroying the house again. We only have these tattered pieces of furniture, and you broke them all."

Banggeng also felt very aggrieved. Ever since Jia Zhang was captured, she was neglected by her father and mother. She had to go to the house of the eldest master and Shazhu for meals all day long. Even the children in the yard were unwilling to play with her.

The aggrieved little boy became more and more sad the more he thought about it, and simply burst into tears, "I want grandma to come back, I miss grandma, I want grandma! Wuuuuuu... I want grandma..."

When the people in the yard heard the crying, they automatically shut up and went back to their houses to find some quiet.

The courtyard has become much quieter these days since Jia Zhang is no longer around, and Old Jia can work peacefully underground without having to come out to work.

This would be great, but it’s a pity that the mother is not here and the son is even more troublesome!

"Excuse me, does Qin Huairu live here?"

A girl about 1.6 meters tall wearing a large blue jacket walked into the yard. Yan Fugui pushed his glasses and looked up, and couldn't help being a little surprised.

I saw this girl with two pigtails, big watery eyes and a smiling face, like a doll.

Look at this girl, she is more fertile than Yu Li. If she succeeds in getting along with her, I guarantee she will have a grandson in less than half a year.

"Uncle, may I ask if Qin Huairu lives here?"

Qin Jingru felt uncomfortable seeing that the old man was staring at her like a piece of wood, so she opened her mouth and asked what was going on.

"Oh... that girl, you said you were looking for Qin Huairu? Who are you to her?"

"She is my cousin, we are relatives."

Yan Fugui smiled and nodded. The girl's clothes showed that she was from the countryside, but she spoke very clearly and without any stage shyness.

Not bad, really not bad!

"Well, Qin Huairu hasn't come back yet, why don't you come to my house and warm up for a while."

Qin Jingru glanced into the room, then looked at the shifty old man, and quickly shook her head to refuse.

Although she came from the countryside, she was not stupid. She always felt that the old man had bad intentions towards her, so she simply refused.

"No, since she lives here, I'll just wait for her here."

"Who are you waiting for? Who are you looking for?"

At this time, Sha Zhu and the old man came back. Because there were too many people queuing, Sha Zhu simply went through the back door and asked the apprentice who was cutting the meat to leave a portion for him.

Seeing the figure blocking the door, he couldn't help but make a few teasing remarks, but he regretted it instantly. When Qin Jingru turned around, her eyes widened.

Qin Jingru's big eyes flickered, and there was a hint of cuteness in her confusion, which instantly crushed Sha Zhu's heart.

"Hello young lady, my name is He Yuzhu, I live in the main house in the middle courtyard, and I'm the cook at the steel mill. Who are you?"

Sha Zhu introduced himself as if he was on a blind date. Qin Jingru didn't think much about it and was interrupted by Yan Fugui just as she was about to speak.

"Hi, Qin Huairu's relative, here to look for Qin Huairu."

Sha Zhu got excited when he heard this. He had heard that Sister Qin had several girls in her hometown. Why are they here now? They were sent to him?

If you don’t seize the opportunity now, when will you?

"Hi, it's the Qin sisters. Qin Hairu is my neighbor, and our houses are next to each other. Don't stand here in this freezing cold weather. Come inside and drink some hot water to warm yourself up."

As he spoke, Sha Zhu motioned the girl to follow him into the yard. Qin Jingru saw that these two were more kind-hearted than the previous one, so she simply followed Sha Zhu's steps.

Shazhu was so happy that his mouth stretched to the back of his head.

The young wife had just arrived at his doorstep, and he wanted to buy firecrackers to celebrate.

Yi Zhonghai gave a professional fake smile and then glanced downward. Ever since he changed the person who took care of the elderly, he had been determined not to let Sha Zhu get married, for fear that the boy would not listen to him after getting married.

But the exception is Qin Jingru who came to the door, she is Qin Huairu's sister.

Since he couldn't get her, he would destroy her. Qin Huairu was no longer in his consideration.

As long as Qin Jingru can marry Sha Zhu, wouldn't it be difficult to control a rural girl?

Wouldn't it be great if the time came to let the sisters turn against each other?

Thinking about this, Yi Zhonghai's mood suddenly brightened. He walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and ignored Yan Fugui who was standing beside him.

"Hey, what are you doing? I provoke you but you don't care about me? Uncle, don't forget that there is a general meeting at 7 o'clock tonight. You must be there."

Yan Fugui shouted at the top of his lungs, but the man didn't even turn his head and went straight home.

Yan Fugui was so angry that he gasped, "Humph, you old idiot, I'll teach you a lesson tonight."

As Qin Jingru entered the room, she was shocked by the scene in front of her: the messy quilt, the smelly socks, and the leftovers on the table. The room was as messy as a pigsty, and the smell was not good either.

I suddenly felt unwell and covered my mouth with my hands, wanting to vomit.

Shazhu was also confused, and the next second he slapped himself hard, forgetting that Sister Qin had not cleaned the house for him recently. Wasn't he ruining his happiness with his own hands?

Sha Zhu smiled foolishly while explaining while picking up the socks. Qin Jingru was also diligent and helped him to clean up.

"Don't ask, don't ask. I'm really embarrassed for you to do this. You're a guest, so don't be disgusted by the mess in the room. I'll clean it up."

Qin Jingru smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm used to doing these things at home. I'm not used to you letting me just stare at you. Put it down and I'll help you clean it up. This job should be done by women."
