Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

"Run away? Why? Didn't you say that the Liu family loves Liu Guangqi?" Wang Yan was very puzzled. Why would he run away when he could be living a good life?

"You don't know that Liu Guangqi said in the letter that he didn't want his children to grow up in a violent family like him, so he ran away."

"What was the scream from the Liu family?"

"Hey, Liu Haizhong couldn't bear the shock and fainted. Second Auntie was frightened and screamed. Now Liu Haizhong has been sent to the hospital by Liu Guangtian and Third Uncle."

"What is going on?" Wang Yan expressed her inability to accept it. She had never heard of those who were enjoying themselves being scared away, but those who were beaten did not leave.

The days passed peacefully. Jia Zhang cleaned the toilet twice a day, but you can imagine the smell. Anyway, people in the courtyard always stayed away from Jia Zhang when they saw her. Even Jia Zhang's most beloved grandson, Banggeng, would not let his grandmother hug him.

Every time Jia Zhang approached Banggeng, Banggeng would yell that his grandmother smelled like poop and asked her to go away.

It would be a lie for Jia Zhang to say that she was not sad. Every time she saw her son and grandson despising her, she felt as if she were seeing herself when she was old, paralyzed in bed, unable to move, and her son and grandson despising her and not providing for her in her old age.

She cried and made a scene, but what was the use? Jia Dongxu said that if Jia Zhang made a scene again, he would send her back to her hometown. Jia Zhang was really scared. There was nothing in the Jia family's hometown. Sending her back would be like letting her die.

So she endured it silently for this month. No matter how others disliked her, Jia Zhang completed her work in quality and quantity.

But Yi Zhonghai felt uncomfortable. As the former "boss" of the Siheyuan, now he was asked to clean the yard, which was more painful than killing him.

But this was an order given by Director Wang, and he dared not disobey it. So every morning, Yi Zhonghai got up early to clean the entire courtyard. When he finished cleaning, the neighbors in the courtyard had already started cooking.

The people in the courtyard didn't say anything openly, but Yi Zhonghai could feel that the prestige he had built up in the courtyard over the years was gone, and he hated it!!!

But what can he do? He had approached the old lady before, hoping to ask her to help him, but she refused him on the grounds of her old age, and also advised him to be quiet for a while and not to do his little tricks anymore.

Well, although it was embarrassing, fortunately Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu were still as close to him as before, which made him feel relieved.

As for the Liu family, they have been a little silent in the courtyard since Liu Haizhong was discharged from the hospital. Although they still like to act like the second uncle, they no longer mention their eldest brother at every turn.

As for the second and third sons in their family, they were beaten even more severely. Liu Haizhong believed that the reason why the eldest son in their family left was because he did not beat him lightly. He never touched their eldest son even a finger, which made their eldest son want to run away.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye a month has passed. Trivial matters arise one after another in the courtyard, but fortunately everyone lives in peace.

At the Jia family, Jia Dongxu sat on the kang sighing, Jia Zhangshi also had a sad face, while Qin Huairu sat on a stool crying.

"Okay, stop crying. What's the use of crying?" Jia Zhang scolded Qin Huairu impatiently. Jia Zhang looked down on this daughter-in-law. She always believed that it was because of this daughter-in-law that Jia Dongxu could not be a leader now. She cried all day long. Which good family has a crybaby?

Qin Huairu was frightened by Jia Zhangshi. "Mom, I don't want to cry, but my parents sent me a letter saying that they have run out of food, so they want to borrow some food from us."

"Borrowing grain? Dream on!" Jia Zhang jumped up three feet high, "Who has extra grain to lend to others now? And even if I lend it to your family, what will they use to pay me back?"

"Humph, I think you are trying to get something for nothing, right?"

"Also, Qin Huairu, don't forget that because you have a rural household registration, the children in your family don't have a ration of food. The family relies on Dongxu's ration to survive. We don't even have enough food at home, so how can we lend it to others?"

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu pleadingly, but Jia Dongxu had no other choice. Nowadays, every household is tightening their belts to make ends meet, but seeing his wife's pitiful appearance, Jia Dongxu felt sorry for her. Their family's ration was not enough, so they could only buy premium grain on the black market, and the price of premium grain was increasing day by day. Now his family could no longer afford premium grain.

"Huai Ru, don't worry. I'll go talk to the master and see if he has any solution." Jia Dongxu got up and went to Yi Zhonghai's house.

After Yi Zhonghai asked about Jia Dongxu's purpose, he fell silent. Although his family was rich, they had no obligation to support the Jia family. Even from Jia Dongxu's father-in-law's family, Yi Zhonghai didn't want to take the money.

Even the usually good-tempered aunt had a gloomy face at this moment. In the past few months, their family has given no less than 50 yuan worth of food to the Jia family. But now, they actually came to them to ask for food just for their father-in-law. Did they really think they were being taken advantage of?

Aunt Yi pulled Yi Zhonghai's clothes from behind, asking him not to agree, but Yi Zhonghai had his own considerations, so he brushed Aunt Yi's hand away and said, "Dongxu, if you come to me, I will definitely help you, but you also know the importance of food nowadays."

"I'm helping you today, but what about in the future? Do I have to give you dozens of kilograms of food so that your father-in-law can eat it for the rest of his life?"

"You have to think carefully about your future path." Yi Zhonghai advised Jia Dongxu earnestly, hoping that Jia Dongxu could come to his senses.

"Master, I understand what you mean, but Huairu is crying at home now, what do you want me to do?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu, who was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, and was thinking about something in his mind.

"Well, I'll give you 100 yuan, and you can allocate it. But you have to do something for me later. Of course, this is not illegal, so don't worry."

Jia Dongxu thought about it and agreed. His master was an old man, what could he ask for help? And his master said in advance that it was not against the law, so he had nothing to be afraid of.

Yi Zhonghai asked an old lady to take out 100 yuan and give it to Jia Dongxu, who returned to the Jia family happily.

Auntie was very unhappy and sat on the kang sulking, "Old Yi, you can't spoil Jia Dongxu like this, don't you see? The Jia family is after our money."

"I know. Don't be angry. Just listen to me."

"Of course I know the Jia family's moral character. Just now I asked Jia Dongxu to help me do something, but I was actually lying to him. What do I need him to do?"

"But I still took out 100 yuan, in fact, it was to win over Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu is not an ordinary woman. Jia Zhangshi can't beat her. Sooner or later, the Jia family will be controlled by Qin Huairu."
