Siheyuan, my new life

Li Botao saw a box of Camel cigarettes on the Eight Immortals Table, and quickly finished the Daqianmen in his mouth in three or two puffs, then picked up the Camel cigarettes and handed one to Fang Dahu, and then he asked curiously: "Old He, you and the Jia family both live in the middle courtyard, so you must know more than we know. Tell us today."

He Daqing sat at the Eight Immortals Table. He first poured tea for Fang Dahu and Li Botao, then he smiled and said in a low voice: "I don't know if you have noticed that Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu are deliberately acting with everyone. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family, one is always throwing tantrums and playing rogue in the courtyard, and the other pretends to be pitiful, selling misery everywhere to win sympathy from others. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are a well-known evil mother-in-law, and the other is a filial and sensible good daughter-in-law. These two guys sing the same tune, one plays the good cop and the other plays the bad cop. Jia Zhang caused trouble in the courtyard. First, Yi Zhonghai came forward to mediate, and then Qin Huairu cried and apologized, and the final result was nothing. Jia Zhang had just moved It was fine when we first moved into this courtyard, but after Lao Jia died, people have completely changed. By the way, at that time, your two families had not yet moved into the No. 95 courtyard. Lao Jia had an accident at Lou's Steel Rolling Mill and died on the spot. At that time, Lou Zhenhua, the owner of Lou's Steel Rolling Mill, not only took the initiative to compensate the Jia family with 4 million in compensation and 1 million in funeral expenses, but also promised that Lao Jia's son Jia Dongxu could work in the factory after he turned 16. When Lao Jia's cousins ​​heard about it, they came from the countryside and wanted to eat up the family. They not only wanted the Jia family's jobs, but also the compensation. Jia Zhang found Yi Zhonghai, and then Yi Zhonghai asked me, Xu Fugui, Liu Haizhong and others to come forward together, and drove away Lao Jia's cousins ​​with intimidation and threats. "

At this point, He Daqing took a sip of tea, and under the interested gaze of Fang Dahu and Li Botao, he continued, "Since then, people often go into the vegetable cellar in the middle courtyard of my house at night. I have seen it with my own eyes several times."

Fang Dahu asked excitedly, "Old He, has Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang been hooking up since then?"

He Daqing chuckled: "The two of them were a little unclear when Old Jia was still alive. Otherwise, how could Yi Zhonghai come forward to ask us for help when Old Jia's cousins ​​came to eat the Jia family's extinct family?"

Li Botao exclaimed in a low voice: "Fuck, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang are playing very well. No wonder Yi Zhonghai has always been partial to Jia Zhang in the courtyard. It turns out that the two of them are old friends."

He Daqing snorted, "Since the death of Old Jia, Jia Zhangshi has no one to control her. She has been enjoying a luxurious life with her son for more than a year. You should know that before Old Jia died, he was a senior fitter at Lou's Steel Rolling Mill. His salary was always the highest among all the people in the courtyard. There are only three people in the Old Jia family, but Old Jia is the head of the family. His daily life is not much better than other families. Therefore, after the death of Old Jia, he must have left a lot of money. Without the constraints of Old Jia, Jia Zhangshi either buys roast chicken or eats roast duck every day. She can be said to have satisfied her appetite with delicious food and drink. But Old Jia was left with nothing. Although they had saved some money, they could not stop the waste of money by Jia Zhang and her mother. Soon they found that they did not have much money at home. As everyone knows, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Jia Zhang had developed a habit of greed, but her family did not have much money, so she often stole things from other people's homes. After the death of Old Jia, and the fact that she was almost wiped out by Old Jia's cousins, Jia Zhang's temperament changed drastically. She would throw a tantrum and call Old Jia at every turn. If Yi Zhonghai had not been partial to Jia Zhang in the No. 95 courtyard, Jia Zhang would have been beaten to a pulp long ago with her behavior. "

Fang Dahu could not help but curse in a low voice after hearing this: “When we just moved into the backyard of No. 95 Siheyuan, Jia Zhang came to borrow two kilograms of flour and ten eggs. At that time, my wife thought that we were all neighbors living in the same Siheyuan, so she didn’t think much about it and lent them to her. However, more than two months had passed and Jia Zhang didn’t return them. When my wife came to ask for them, Jia Zhang denied it at first. Unfortunately, there were other people present when she borrowed the things. When my wife found the witness, Jia Zhang immediately started to throw a tantrum and called for Lao Jia. I happened to be home from get off work and was about to... The Jia family was smashed. At this time, Yi Zhonghai came out and kept talking about uniting neighbors and helping each other. He said that the Jia family had orphans and widows, and asked me to be more generous and help the Jia family. I didn't say anything polite to Yi Zhonghai on the spot. If Jia Zhang had said that her family was in financial difficulty and said a few nice words, our family wouldn't lack these things. But Jia Zhang lied at first and didn't admit that she had borrowed anything from our family. After someone testified, she started to throw a tantrum and act like a rogue. I would rather take the things back and throw them away than let the Jia family get away with it. Yi Zhonghai was said by me on the spot. I was speechless. After all, Jia Zhang had just denied in public that she had borrowed anything from our family, and now she was throwing a tantrum and acting like a rogue. No matter what I said, Jia Zhang was unreasonable. I wanted to go to the street office to report the problem, but Yi Zhonghai pulled me aside and said that matters in the courtyard should be resolved in the courtyard, and that a meeting of the whole courtyard should be held in the evening to resolve the matter. I asked him to resolve it immediately, otherwise I would go to the street office. Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to go home and get two kilograms of flour and ten eggs. However, when he gave me the things, he was still muttering that the Jia family was in financial difficulty, and as a neighbor in the courtyard, , we should help each other. I took the things and didn't want to take them home. I thought they were disgusting, so I gave them to Uncle Xue's family in the front yard. Uncle Xue was cleaning the streets and raising two grandchildren by himself. His family was really in trouble. I still find it funny when I think of Yi Zhonghai's expression at that time. Anyway, I am the team leader of the forging workshop. Even the damn second uncle Liu Haizhong is just an ordinary forger in our workshop. If Liu Haizhong dares to say anything, I will ask the workshop director to transfer him to my team and deal with him to death. "

He Daqing knew about this matter, but Li Botao had not moved into No. 95 Courtyard at that time. He found it very interesting and hurriedly urged, "Old He, Old Fang, our family moved in the latest. I didn't know that No. 95 Courtyard was so lively. What interesting things are there?"
