In a courtyard, events that began with the recovery of pension money began to change.

It was a winter night in 1962, in the quiet city of Peking.

Located in the heart of the old city, in a courtyard called Red Star.

A young man stood outside the door, panting and in a state of confusion.

"Oh my god, I have come to this world of true love in the courtyard, and I am wearing clothes?"

A young man named Li Han recalled that he was 20 years old, a new fitter apprentice, and an orphan whose parents died young...

"Am I so pitiful in this world?"

Li Han sat on the threshold, looking at the scene in the room. The old large eight-immortal table, enamel cups and water bottles, plus the portraits of great men hanging on the wall, undoubtedly brought him back to the unique atmosphere of the fifties and sixties.

Before traveling through time, Li Han was an urban white-collar worker who worked out in the gym, hung out in bars, and socialized with friends of the opposite sex. In his spare time, he would also browse some retro dramas and online novels.

However, despite his strong adaptability, he still couldn't calm down at the moment.

Because this is a courtyard full of human life, each character in the play has a unique personality and style.

Like Yi Zhonghai, a model of morality; Yan Bugui, a stingy small businessman; Jia Zhang, who can summon the dead; Qin Huairu, a powerful woman like a pure lotus in that era; Jia Banggeng, who was too clever in his youth; He Yuzhu, known as the god of war in the compound; and Xu Damao, who was full of crooked ideas but lacked talent; and finally, the deaf old lady who relied on her age to bully others...

When watching the plot in his previous life, Li Han felt very aggrieved, as those people had been difficult for him to accept.

At this moment, he actually became their neighbor.

His thoughts instantly drifted back to a painful picture: he had an unbearable headache, and the image of himself lying in bed appeared in front of him.

The tightly closed door opened quietly, and a thief quietly entered the room. After shaking his arm gently and finding no one responded, he sneaked under the bed to search.

Then, the little boy held up an iron box excitedly and said, "This is the iron box where the Li family stores valuables. This should be it!" He left in a hurry and the sound of the door closing was heard.

"Hey!" After being stunned for two seconds, Li Han rushed to the bedroom.

His face suddenly changed as he groped under the bed.

“My pension was stolen!”

The box in the photo is used to store large sums of money, and the person who stole the box is Jia Banggeng from the Central Courtyard.

“Banggeng, how dare you do this?!” Li Han was familiar with Banggeng, who was known as the “King of Thieves” and had always behaved in a secretive manner.

However, Li Han wondered why someone would be so bold to break in. Even if he was asleep, it was impossible for him to be unaware of anything.

No, the room was filled with soot, which could be suffocating or even dangerous.

"Is it carbon monoxide poisoning? Did Banggeng take this opportunity to steal the pension?" Li Han quickly checked the ventilation system and found a piece of mud on the chimney.

This obviously meant that someone was trying to kill him by blocking the chimney.

“Who on earth wants to kill me?” Li Han was furious.

Although the direct means of the stalker's crime was rejected because the stalker's height could not reach the chimney, but...

"Wait, Bang Geng called out 'Silly Uncle' at the end... 'Silly Uncle' is the same as Sha Zhu, right? Does this mean that one of them is responsible for the pension, and the other blocked the chimney to kill me?"

Li Han felt that this possibility was very likely.

Banggeng's theft of the pension and Shazhu's intervention both have motives, and the two echo each other.

A month ago, Li Han's father met with an unfortunate death in his steel plant.

Two people actually died in that accident. In addition to Li Han's father Li Daqiang, there was also Jia Dongxu, an employee of the Intermediate Court, who was also Banggeng's father.

Their deaths were all officially classified as work-related deaths, and according to regulations, their families can receive the total salary of one year before their death as compensation.

Li Daqiang is an eighth-level senior fitter with a monthly salary of 99 yuan and a total pension of 1188 yuan; correspondingly, Jia Dongxu is a second-level fitter with a monthly income of only 31 yuan and a pension of only 372 yuan.

However, the factory has an additional provision that it will provide a monthly living allowance of $3 to the deceased's family's minor children until they reach adulthood.

Since Li Han has grown up, he cannot enjoy this benefit, but Jia Dongxu's family is able to receive this subsidy.

In the years when materials were scarce, 1 yuan could buy 10 kilograms of sorghum flour, enough to cover the food expenses of one person in an average family for more than half a month.

The total amount of relief and subsidies is already a considerable amount of money for the two families.

But the Jia family was not satisfied. They believed that as a family of five with a more difficult life, they should receive no less pension than Li Han, who had only an orphan and a widow.

After unsuccessful arguments with the steel plant, the Jia family began to direct the conflict directly towards Li Han and even proposed to share part of the pension with them.

Faced with such excessive demands, Li Han naturally refused outright.

What followed was Jia Zhang's frequent cursing, and Qin Huairu's attitude towards Li Han also became cold.

Even the nine-year-old Banggeng began to express his dissatisfaction with him in a subtle way, causing Li Han to imagine Banggeng trying to steal his pension.

Back to the question of why Sha Zhu framed him, we need to review Sha Zhu's personality traits.

Sha Zhu used all means to win Qin Huairu's heart. After she got married, Sha Zhu developed an extreme desire for her.

Sha Zhu spent all his money and even stole white flour buns and meat dishes from the cafeteria to give to Qin Huairu in order to please her.

After losing Jia Dongxu, the pillar of the family, Qin Huairu relied on Sha Zhu to support the entire family.

Therefore, she would give Sha Zhu some sweet treats from time to time, such as intimate touching, which also satisfied Sha Zhu's fantasy.

Not long ago, Li Han was drinking to drown his sorrows due to the loss of his father. He returned home late at night after being drunk and accidentally discovered the secret between Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu.

A conflict broke out between the two sides, and Li Han threatened to make it public.

From then on, the feud between the two deepened.

Everyone knows that Sha Zhu is a vindictive person. For example, Xu Damao has suffered from his punches many times.

Li Han's move undoubtedly touched Sha Zhu's sore spot, and revenge became a natural thing.

Li Han clenched his fists and pressed them against the door frame. He swore to himself, "If I don't let go of this hatred, I will have been reborn twice in vain!"

He realized that in order to deal with Shazhu, he must find key evidence to bring this guy into the law's net and make Banggeng receive the punishment he deserves.

The problem is that he has a special identity - a reborn person, and the outside world knows nothing about the original Li Han's death.

In the eyes of others, he is still alive, so Sha Zhu's crime cannot be proved.

But there is always a way, and he slowly looked for a solution.

At this moment, an electronic voice sounded in my head:

"jingle--"
