I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

Yu Shui was in the main hall of the east wing, recounting how Sha Zhu had taken the blame for Bang Geng, hoping that Uncle Yi Zhonghai would convene another meeting of the whole hospital to clear her brother Sha Zhu's name. A few neighbors who were still awake stood at the door of Uncle Yi's main hall and listened.

"Uncle, my brother can't take the blame this time. My boyfriend and I are discussing our marriage, and he is a public security officer. I don't want this to ruin my marriage." Yu Shui said to Yi Zhonghai while wiping her tears.

"Then I will talk to the neighbors in the compound tomorrow and clarify the facts for Zhuzi. But you said you want to convene another general meeting of the compound, and everyone is busy, so there is no need for this."

Yi Zhonghai didn't care who stole the chicken. In his mind, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu were both candidates for his retirement. It would be best if he could bring these two together to support him in his old age.

Aunt Chen Shufen put on her clothes and came out from the inner room, and came with Yi Zhonghai to persuade He Yushui. Sha Zhu also came over and accused his sister Yushui of being ignorant and disturbing the rest of the uncle and aunt.

Rainwater can do nothing! Seeing that it is getting late, we can only talk about it tomorrow. This incident has a great impact on her, and she must restore Shazhu's reputation.

The next morning, Yu Shui went to the backyard to find Xu Damao to clarify the facts. In fact, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e had already known last night that Sha Zhu was not the thief who stole their chickens.

That night, when Xu Damao brought home the casserole, he found that there was only half a chicken in it. And looking at the comb, it was clearly a rooster, not the old hen that laid eggs in his family.

But this did not stop Xu Damao from tripping up Sha Shuan! Who asked you to admit it at the whole hospital meeting? Xu Damao had already made up his mind. He went to the steel mill early this morning to publicize Sha Zhu's heroic deeds of stealing chickens from his neighbor's house.

He had already guessed who stole his old hen. The only family in the whole courtyard that could make Sha Zhu willing to take the blame was the Jia family. And the only people in the Jia family who could do such a sneaky thing were Bang Geng and Jia Zhang. He was inclined to think it was Bang Geng!

In the morning, a neighbor lady from the next yard came to ask about what happened in the No. 95 compound last night. In this era, stealing chickens is not a small matter. The appearance of a chicken thief in this alley has alerted the neighbors nearby.

With the publicity of those aunties and grandmas, the reputation of Shazhu and Banggeng became completely ruined in the Nanluoguxiang area!

Although Sha Zhu has gotten rid of the notoriety of stealing chickens, the fact that he is an unmarried man of advanced age is willing to take the blame and pay compensation for his neighbor, the pretty widow, makes people imagine.

Residents living nearby also strictly forbid their children from playing with Banggeng, fearing that he would corrupt their children! As a result, no matter where Banggeng goes, he is only accompanied by his sister Xiaodang.

Qin Huairu felt that this matter had not caused any more trouble, and she knew that it was suppressed by the uncle Yi Zhonghai. She saw that Sha Zhu had been giving her a cold shoulder in the past two days, and she knew that he was angry and blamed her family for not doing things right.

But what could she do? Her son Banggeng was her only hope. He couldn't make any mistakes. Even if she had to sacrifice herself, she had to save her son. She thought about it and decided to set a sweet bait for Shazhu.

That afternoon, after work, she went to the tobacco, alcohol and grocery store at the entrance of the alley and bought half a pound of loose liquor for 27 cents.

When it was time for dinner, she went to Sha Zhu's main room with a bottle of wine. Qin Huairu pushed the door open and saw Sha Zhu sitting at the dining table in the main room, drinking alone.

He looked up at Qin Huairu who had entered the room, and rarely said hello. He was now feeling like a rat in a bellows, getting bullied from both ends!

That day, Xu Damao, the thief, went to the third steel rolling mill and publicized his glorious act of stealing chickens all over the street. He was even called over by the logistics chief to be reprimanded. The canteen is a special position, dealing with rice and flour ingredients every day, and chicken thieves are not allowed to appear.

When lunch was served at noon, the strange looks from his fellow workers in the workshop made him feel ashamed. He really couldn't explain this matter! Why did you admit it if you didn't steal it? And you even paid compensation out of your own pocket?

He inadvertently developed resentment towards Qin Huairu! Can you stand up and admit that it was your son Banggeng who did the wrong thing? Children don't understand, so just give them a few words of education. If you don't have money to compensate Xu Damao, you can also help with money yourself.

But she would rather put the blame on herself than save her son Banggeng. This seemed to pour a bucket of cold water on him, making him think in his heart, is it worth it for him to desperately help Qin Huairu's family?

"Alright! Are you still mad at me? I know you've been wronged, but isn't there anything I can do about it?"

When Qin Huairu entered the room and saw that Sha Zhu was in a bad mood and ignored her, she put the bottle of wine in her hand on the dining table, walked over, took Sha Zhu's arm and shook it gently, with a coquettish tone in her voice.

"Don't come here! Qin Huairu, is there anyone in your family who would do such a thing? Now I consider myself unlucky. From now on, I will stay away from your family."

Sha Zhu shook his arm to prevent her from touching his body. He was afraid that if Qin Huairu continued to shake him like this, he would immediately change his attitude towards her.

"Zhu Zi, thank you for taking care of us all these years. But what can I do? This whole family depends on me, a widow, and there are old and young people in the family. Sometimes I think it's better to end it all, so that I can be relieved."

Qin Huairu wiped her tears and started to play the victim again! To be honest, her life was indeed a bit hard. She was busy all day long, and no one at home could help her share a little.

Since she married into this courtyard, her mother-in-law began to live a life of retirement. At that time, Jia Zhang was only 40 years old. She lived a leisurely life at home, and she was given three yuan of retirement money every month.

Seeing Qin Huairu with her back to him, crying bitterly, Sha Zhu was most afraid of this! He quickly spoke to persuade her.

"Oh my! My dear sister Qin, please don't cry in my house. Cry like this. If the neighbors hear us, they will think I have done something to you!"

"I know that I am a widow with three children and I am not worthy of you. But I have a cousin from my mother's family who is only eighteen years old. If you don't mind that she is from the countryside, I can bring her over and introduce her to you."

Qin Huairu started throwing bait to Sha Zhu! It's really unreasonable to just catch the fat sheep and fleece it without giving it a little thought.

"Really? Is your cousin pretty?" Sha Zhu asked impatiently after hearing it.

He is a man who only cares about appearance! He should always look to Qin Huairu when looking for a partner. Otherwise, he would be thirty years old now and still not have found his ideal partner.

"My cousin Qin Jingru is much prettier than me! There are so many people in the countryside who have come to propose marriage to her, but she doesn't like any of them. She wants to find a city guy and marry him in the city. You, Zhuzi, don't have a city hukou? I think you two are a perfect match."

Qin Huairu painted a pie for Sha Zhu! As long as she could win Sha Zhu back, she was willing to go to her parents' home in Changping. As for whether the two of them would be together in the future, it was still in her hands.

"Then when will you bring your cousin over to me? I'll reimburse you for your round trip expenses."

Sha Zhu was itching to get married! She was 18 years old and prettier than Qin Huairu. Was he lucky in love? It didn't matter if she was a rural hukou. He was a chef with inherited skills. Was he afraid that he couldn't afford to support her?

"When I get off work this Sunday, I will go back to my parents' home and bring her here. Zhuzi! I'll make it clear first, you will pay for my cousin's food and lodging here!"

Qin Huairu didn't want to suffer a loss at all! This was her cousin's first time in this courtyard, so she would definitely treat her well. But she would definitely not spend her own money. She could only let Sha Zhu, the sucker, take responsibility!

"Don't worry! Are you worried about your cousin starving? She will live in Yu Shui's room when she comes to the courtyard. Yu Shui won't be back for a week."

Sha Zhu didn't care about anything and started to make a big fuss! As long as he could find a woman of his dreams and get married, none of this would be a big deal.

The two of them settled the matter and reconciled. Qin Huairu sat aside and poured wine for Sha Zhu, who was already grinning from ear to ear with joy.

This time, I, Shuan Ye, will marry a young and beautiful wife and give birth to two or three fat boys to piss off that bastard Xu Damao.
