Siheyuan: Forced to exchange rooms with Qin Huairu at the beginning

During the meal, Jia Zhang ate three full bowls of noodles. She felt quite satisfied as she ate more than Qin Huairu and Bang Geng combined.

After eating, Jia Zhang felt quite satisfied. Although she didn't get to eat meat, at least she was full. She hadn't eaten enough in the past three months. She often went hungry and had to work.

It’s still more comfortable to be at home. You don’t have to work, and you just need to open your mouth to get clothes and stretch out your hand to get food. There are also people who call you grandma, and you can enjoy the happiness of family.

After dinner, Jia Zhang was bored and decided to take a walk around the yard to see if there were any changes in the courtyard during the three months she was away.

After leaving home, Jia Zhang saw a group of women chatting in the yard. They were all acquaintances. Jia Zhang hadn't been there for several months and wanted to catch up with them.

"Hey, everything is here, what are you talking about? Tell me now."

Jia Zhang said this as she moved into the crowd.

The women were a little confused when they saw Jia Zhang coming in, mainly because Jia Zhang looked very different. Plus, it was dark late in the winter and the light was not very good, so for a while no one could react to who this was.

"who are you?"

One of the women asked.

"Look at you, Zhuangzhuang's mother. You always love to joke around. Me! Jia Zhang, you can't even remember me after not seeing me for a few months?"

Jia Zhang finished her meal and spoke with full energy.

"Jia Zhang's family?"

"You've been to jail, haven't you?"

Zhuangzhuang's mother was stunned for a moment and asked, then took a closer look. From the outline of the face, she could almost tell that it was Jia Zhang. She hadn't seen her for several months, and her sudden appearance was a bit scary.

"What do you mean I went to jail? I was just cooperating with the investigation. I will come back naturally after the investigation is completed."

Jia Zhang said embarrassedly that these were all what Yi Zhonghai taught her.

Yi Zhonghai had long anticipated that Jia Zhang would have a hard time after her return. After all, no one wanted to have much contact with prisoners these days for fear of gossip.

So Yi Zhonghai came up with this idea. After all, Jia Zhang's imprisonment could be considered as cooperating with the investigation. It was just a matter of saying it in a nicer way. Maybe it could scare these people.

But Yi Zhonghai made a mistake. After the Yan family's propaganda, the news of Jia Zhang's imprisonment spread widely among the people. When Jia Zhang admitted her identity, the group of women around her kept away from her. No one wanted to stay with Jia Zhang.

"You, what do you mean? I really went to cooperate with the investigation."

Jia Zhang looked at the people around her looking at her warily and felt a little unhappy. What did this mean? She was talking to them to give them face, but it seemed as if they didn't like her.

"Um, Jia Zhang, I still have some clothes to wash at home, I'll go back and take care of them first."

Zhuangzhuang's mother stopped chatting and ran back home with a random excuse.

"I'm going to cook for the baby."

"My man seems to be calling me, I'll go check it out too."

"I... am a little sleepy. I'm going back to sleep first."

…………

Everyone had their own reasons and went their separate ways.

There were also some people who were not afraid of offending Jia Zhang at all. They didn't even give any reasons and just turned around and left, still talking loudly.

"What do you mean by cooperating with the investigation? I've heard that she was just sentenced to three months."

"I know. The Yan family has already said so. The Third Master has read the judgment document."

"Go quickly, don't get involved in bad luck."

…………

The people in the orphanage are all ordinary women who don't understand the law and are very in awe of places like prison. The last time Jia Zhang was detained by the police station, they began to dislike her.

Now that Jia Zhang is out of prison, no one wants to contact her anymore.

"You guys, you've gone too far."

Jia Zhang was so angry that she was shaking all over. She never expected that after she had been away for three months, people in the courtyard would dare to treat her like this.

Thinking about all these women in the past, every one of them succumbed to my tyranny, but now they don’t even want to play with me. This is really too much.

Little did they know that these women had been taking care of the Jia family because of Yi Zhonghai. With Yi Zhonghai as her backer, of course no one dared to go against Jia Zhang.

It's different now. What is Jia Zhang's current status? She is a labor camp prisoner. I don't believe that Yi Zhonghai dares to defend Jia Zhang openly now.

"Yan family? Yan Bugui, just wait for me."

Jia Zhang said resentfully that she had heard the conversation of those people just now, and they all learned about their affairs from Yan Bugui.

Of course, Jia Zhang would not let it go like this. She felt that Yan Bugui had also found a way to commit suicide. She planned to burn some incense for Old Jia and Jia Dongxu tonight and have a good talk with them.

"You see, no one wants to have contact with Jia Zhang now."

Auntie and Yi Zhonghai witnessed the whole process from the window. Although they did not hear what was said, they could tell from their actions that everyone seemed a little unfriendly towards Jia Zhang.

"How could this happen? Jia Zhang has also suffered a lot."

Yi Zhonghai frowned in distress. Now Jia Zhang's title as a labor camp prisoner was confirmed. This was the first case in the hospital. Apart from anything else, there would definitely be no advanced prisoners in the hospital this year.

Of course, it is not only a matter of honor. The most important thing is that Yi Zhonghai can no longer help the Jia family as he did before. In the past, no matter what Yi Zhonghai gave to the Jia family, the reasons he used were nothing more than the following: the Jia family had orphans and a widow, and their life was difficult in the courtyard. As an uncle, he couldn't bear to see it and offered help.

At least it was still plausible, but now this reason is definitely untenable. On the one hand, there are residents in the courtyard who are poorer than the Jia family, and on the other hand, there is the issue of Jia Zhang's identity.

As a fair and just uncle in the prison, you are helping the families of prisoners for no reason. What does this mean? It doesn't make sense at all.

It can be said that Jia Zhang was a bad apple that spoiled the whole barrel.

"Why don't we just do the same as them and cut off contact with the Jia family?"

An aunt suggested that she felt that under the current circumstances, contacting Jia Zhang was definitely not a good choice.

"No, now no matter what the Jia family makes Huairu think of us?"

"If we don't worry about the retirement issue with Zhuzi, then who will take care of us? We can't rely on Zhuzi, because he is not the type to serve others."

"We definitely still have to rely on Huairu. If we help the Jia family now, it will be like sending charcoal in the snow. Isn't Huairu grateful to us?"

Yi Zhonghai said this seriously, which also gave himself a reason to help the Jia family.

"Then there is also Ran Qiuye."

An old lady said weakly.

"That doesn't mean we don't have any insurance. Ran Qiuye hasn't promised to support us in our old age, so we should make some preparations to be safe."

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said that even if Ran Qiuye agreed, given his suspicious personality, Yi Zhonghai felt that he would not let go of Qin Huairu.

"Okay then, you decide how to do it."

The aunt had no idea and just let Yi Zhonghai do what he wanted.

"I think we should just spend the New Year together this year. It doesn't cost much, and it can help us bond more if we all get together."

Yi Zhonghai suggested.

"Celebrate the New Year together, us and the Jia family?"

"No, we, the Jia family, Zhuzi's family, and the old lady, will celebrate the New Year together."

Yi Zhonghai explained.

"Well, that's fine."

Aunt Yi didn't refuse. The Chinese New Year was indeed a good opportunity to enhance relationships, but the fact that Jia Zhang was coming always gave Aunt Yi a bad feeling.
