Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

Chapter 34: Introduction to the Four Courtyard Birds

Zhao Shanhe laughed for a while, but after that he was still considerate enough to go buy medicine.

After Qin Jingru took the medicine, Zhao Shanhe began to introduce her to their "good" neighbors.

We must be careful with these people in our compound, otherwise you will fall into their trap if you are not careful.

"Brother, you say, I will listen to you," Qin Jingru said

Let’s start with the backyard. We live in the backyard and have dealings there a lot.

"There is an old lady living next door to us. She is old and looks kind, but she is not a good person. She has no offspring. An old man fabricated an identity of a martyr's relative for her. Then she has a good relationship with Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu and your sister's family. I call her the old-age support group."

Then he went on and on, telling about his scheme against He Daqing, his scheme against Sha Zhu, and how he instigated Xu Damao to get a divorce.

And there is this old lady who is very greedy. From time to time she will go to each house to ask for food. If they don’t give her food, she will show off her power as an ancestor, and if that doesn’t work, she will break the glass.

I'm not worried about this. Although we have a kitchen, I always eat in the front yard and will do the same in the future, so I'm not worried about her coming to your house to ask for food, but you can just ignore what she says. Don't ever agree to help her.

Let’s talk about Xu Damao, he’s a projectionist at the steel mill and got divorced some time ago. This guy is a little smart and doesn’t get along with Sha Zhu from the Intermediate Court, so he doesn’t have a good relationship with the pension faction either.

Xu Damao is a mean person, but he is not targeting Shazhu. As long as you don't provoke him, he won't cause you any trouble. He is bad in an obvious way, but he is a bit lustful. His relationship with me is okay. Just say hello to him at ordinary times. If he has something to do, let him come to me.

Liu Haizhong is the boss in our backyard, a seventh-level blacksmith, but he never speaks up for his neighbors in the backyard. He just likes to act like an official. He has three hobbies: being an official and beating his sons and loving his eldest son.

He has three sons. He has loved the eldest son since he was young. He could not bear to scold or beat him. He gave the good things to the eldest son. However, the eldest son ran away. However, he still sent money to him every month. He would beat his two sons at any time. He beat him for no reason, or when he was in a bad mood or angry.

He only wanted to be a leader. He had little education and could not speak clearly. He did not become an official in the workshop, but wanted to be the boss in the yard. However, he was controlled by Yi Zhonghai. He was not on good terms with me and had reported me before.

But he also has advantages. If you praise him a few words, that would be really helpful. He has taught many apprentices in the factory. We don't usually interact with him, so just pay attention to him.

Passerby A and Passerby B in the backyard are like this, blah blah.

After talking about the backyard, let’s talk about the front yard. Your sisters finally said that it was a bit complicated.

The front yard is where I lived before. The four rooms on the east side all belong to my family. I introduced them to you then, and I will introduce my younger brothers and sisters to you later. By the way, I will give you some red envelopes later and give them to them afterwards.

Then the old man in the front yard is Yan Bugui, nicknamed Yan Laokou, a primary school teacher. He doesn't have much official power, but he likes to calculate. His motto is "If you can't eat and drink well, you will be poor, otherwise you will be poor if you can't calculate." He especially likes to take advantage of others. He even calculates the pickles by the root when he eats at home.

The whole family learned from him in a very good manner, but they were easily taken advantage of by him if they were not careful. They were typical fence-sitters who only followed whoever gave them milk. They had some literary qualities, but not much.

There were also passers-by A and B in the front yard, who chatted a few more words.

Finally, let's talk about the middle courtyard, which is where your sister lives. Most of the things that happen in the courtyard happen in this courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai is an old man, an eighth-level fitter in a steel rolling mill, with a salary of 99. He is very powerful in the courtyard. Since he has no descendants, his biggest wish is to be taken care of in his old age. He often says that it is not only the children who have no parents but also the inconvenience of the children. The deaf old lady in the backyard is taken care of by his family.

He likes to lecture the young people as an elder. Your sister's family and Sha Zhu's family are his pension targets. He is usually fair, but once it comes to your sister's family and Sha Zhu's family, he becomes dissatisfied. He likes to stand on the moral high ground and use morality to kidnap others.

Sha Zhu is his thug, and the old lady in the backyard is his military advisor. If Sha Zhu can't solve the problem with his fists, the old lady will step in, which is disgusting. Those who don't obey the rules in the courtyard are driven out by them.

The largest main house in the courtyard belongs to Sha Zhu's family. Sha Zhu's name is He Yuzhu, and he has a younger sister, He Yushui. His mother seemed to have died early, and his father ran away with a widow in 51, leaving the brother and sister to depend on each other.

Sha Zhu works as a cook in a steel rolling mill, with a salary of 37.5. He is almost 30 and has never been married. He has a bad temper and loves to fight. Under the guidance of an uncle, he often helps your sister's family. He gives your sister two boxes of lunch every day and lends half of his salary to your sister, leaving his own sister starving to the point of skin and bones. He Yushui basically never goes home after work.

Finally, let’s talk about your sister’s family. Your sister’s family has the final say on whether the courtyard is messy or not. At least half of the problems were caused by your sister’s family.

When your brother-in-law Jia Dongxu was around, the family was fine. When he died, the family was completely changed. Your sister's mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, was cunning, lazy, greedy, and did nothing at home. She was foul-mouthed and offended half of the people in the street and the compound. She liked to summon ghosts and maintained the image of a wicked mother-in-law. The eldest uncle was the backer, and he would solve any problems.

Your sister Qin Huairu, since your brother-in-law died, took over the factory. She had an affair with other men and her reputation was not very good.

You maintain an image of a filial and hardworking person in the yard, but you have been sucking the blood of other people. Shazhu's lunch box is given to your sister, half of his salary is borrowed by your sister, and every blind date of Shazhu is ruined by your sister, so she wants Shazhu to help her raise the children.

Every time other people’s families cook meat, your sister likes to bring a huge bowl of meat to their door, then cry and act pitiful about being poor, and then take the food away.

The Jia family is the kind of family that eats when they pick up the bowl, and curses when they put down the chopsticks.

Your nephew Banggeng has been spoiled by Shazhu and Jia Zhangshi. Every time your nephew goes to Shazhu's house to get something, Shazhu never cares. Your sister is at work, and Jia Zhangshi indulges him, which leads to Banggeng's poor study and he is getting bolder and bolder. Now he is a nuisance to the neighbors. If you don't teach him a lesson, he will steal oil when he is young and steal gold when he grows up.

At that time, I got a house, and your sister's family was planning to team up with an old man to snatch my house, but I stopped them. Now Banggeng has recognized Yi Zhonghai as his godfather.

Your sister likes to cry poor everywhere, but she is not really poor. She is much richer than our family. Then she analyzed it again (I have written it before, so I won’t repeat it here).

So pay attention to your sister in normal times. Don't believe her when she complains about being poor. Look at other families whose mother-in-law is as fat as your sister's, and whose children are as strong as your sister's. Even I usually wear patched clothes. Look at your sister's family.

I tell you, if your sister complains to you about being poor, you can just complain to her about being poor too. After all, our family is really poor.
