Siheyuan: Get the system at the beginning

"You have to pay Comrade Zhang Xiaoyan 20 yuan for the loss of her reputation, and the matter will be over. Of course, you also have to promise not to enter someone else's house so recklessly in the future."

The first half of the sentence was fine, but the second half almost pissed Yi Zhonghai off. If there weren't so many people present, he would have wanted to beat the other person up.

20 yuan is not a big deal for him. He agreed with a gloomy face.

It was Zhang Xiaoyan's first confrontation with the other party, and she did feel that this person was shrewd and scheming. It seemed that if she wanted to live a good life here, she had to defeat the other party. However, this required long-term planning. In the current situation, it was natural to stop while she was ahead.

"I'm sorry! It wasn't a big deal. Maybe I was just too sensitive. After all, this society still values ​​a girl's reputation. I hope you won't be angry with me, old man?"

The aggrieved look of Yi Zhonghai, who looked like a frightened little rabbit, immediately made everyone present feel distressed. Some young people even thought about putting a sack around Yi Zhonghai.

However, some young wives and old wives were gritting their teeth and could only guard against their men being seduced by others, while at the same time cursing Zhang Xiaoyan as a vixen.

"No, how could that be? It was indeed my fault tonight. It will be fine once the misunderstanding is resolved."

Yi Zhonghai forced a smile on his face. The lady also looked unhappy. She knew that Yi Zhonghai had no money. When she heard their conversation just now, she went home to get 20 yuan.

"Yanzi, there really is a misunderstanding today. Take this little money and don't bother with your uncle."

An old lady walked into the venue and handed the money to Zhang Xiaoyan. Zhang Xiaoyan took the money in one hand and put her other hand on the old lady's arm for a moment before letting go.

Because the time was short, no one took it seriously, and the matter ended. Everyone went back talking and laughing, as if they didn't take the matter to heart. After all, some things can only be said at home, and no one is a fool, right?

Zhang Xiaoyan and Lou Xiaoe returned to the backyard together.

"You really scared me just now. I don't think you would make such a fuss with your personality!"

Lou Xiao'e used to be a rich lady. Although she was raised with a simple mind, she was not a fool. Just now, because she was concerned about Zhang Xiaoyan, she did not pay attention to those details. Now that the matter was over, she realized that something was wrong.

"I have nothing to do anyway, wouldn't it be fun to do something? Look, I've made some money."

Zhang Xiaoyan said this jokingly, fanning the two 10-yuan bills in her hand.

"You! Damao told me not to mess with those three people. They are not good people."

Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao have been married for not long so their relationship is still good, and of course she listens to her man.

The buns were already steaming and just waiting to be cooked. While Zhang Xiaoyan was cleaning up the mess she had just made while asking Lou Xiaoe curiously about things in the yard. After all, some things were hard to talk about without a beginning or an end, and it would seem too deliberate to talk about them without a cause.

"Oh, by the way, when I came back the other day I heard that the old lady next door was a five-guarantee household, and that her family was full of martyrs. I wonder if that's true?"

"I'm not sure, but I heard from Damao that the older generation said that she had given straw sandals to Hong Fang, so the people in the courtyard respected her very much."

"She was an old lady with bound feet who once gave straw sandals to Hong Fang. How amazing! I don't know if I have the courage to walk such a long way in such a dangerous environment. I just don't know when she gave it to me.

Why don’t we get some buns later and let the old lady tell us about those days? Those glorious but difficult years must not be forgotten by those of us who are enjoying the good life now.”

"Okay! It's okay to talk to me normally. When you weren't here, I often went to see the old lady. But the old lady was a little strange. Sometimes she could hear me even when my voice was so soft, and sometimes she couldn't hear me even when my voice was so loud."

Lou Xiao'e might have thought of something, so she said in a strange tone,

"What did you say?"

Zhang Xiaoyan suddenly asked. Lou Xiaoe thought that the other party didn't pay attention to what she said, so she repeated it again. As a result, Zhang Xiaoyan still couldn't hear it, and put her hands on her ears to make a trumpet shape.

Now even the dumbest person reacted and said in surprise:

"Yanzi, you mean she's pretending."

"Oh, what do you think? How many people who survived those difficult times had simple lives, not to mention that she is an old lady with bound feet and no children. I heard that there were many people who bullied the elderly, the weak, and the disabled. At the very least, they robbed them of their money and raped them, and at the worst, they even killed them. Ask her how an old lady living alone can live peacefully until now."

There are some things that you just can't think about too much. The more you think about them, the more terrifying they become.

"What you said is so horrifying! Could it be that the old lady was a famous bandit in the past?"

Lou Xiao'e was also being funny. While she was talking, she made a pistol shape with her hand and made the sound of a gun with her mouth.

"What were you thinking? I just meant to express the old lady's resourcefulness."

The two chatted and soon the steamed buns were ready. Each of them ate a few buns and drank a bowl of egg drop soup and they were full.

"Let's go over there and listen to the story."

After cleaning the kitchen, Zhang Xiaoyan put four big buns on a plate and signaled with her eyes that she should go over.

"It's so shameful. Look at what your master did. He was avenging you and venting our anger! It would be great if we could give that 20 yuan to our family. That bitch got nothing for nothing."

As soon as they got home from the meeting, Mrs. Jia started to scold them. Jia Dongxu was already in a bad mood, and he was also heartbroken about the 20 yuan! But what else could he do? He complained to Yi Zhonghai in his heart, but he said:

“Okay, mom, it’s not easy for the master either, who knew that woman was so cunning?

Don't worry! My son will definitely help you vent your anger, but it won't happen in the next two days. If the master compensated her 20 yuan and something happened right after, she would suspect us. Don't rush me. When the time comes, I will naturally deal with her. She is just a woman, how can she go to heaven!"

Hearing her son's reassuring words, Mrs. Jia felt a little less angry.

The deaf old lady was at home. As an old lady with bound feet, she would not go out unless it was something special. She had smelled the fragrance of steamed buns coming from next door, but when she thought of the bowl of meat before, she felt very gloomy.

As for the meeting just now, as the ancestor of the courtyard, she was a shocking presence, how could she easily appear? So she sat on the kang holding a hot water bottle and felt very comfortable.

"Deaf old lady, I'm Yan Zi, the newcomer. I just made some steamed buns and brought two for you to try."

The deaf old lady was thinking about how to turn the new girl into her granddaughter, just like Sha Zhuzi, when she heard the clear voice outside her door.
