Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

"Old Yi, what do you say we should do?"

Yan Bugui was left with no other options and wanted to ask Yi Zhonghai for help.

"Old Yan, maybe Dongxu drank too much today and is joking with us. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Yi Zhonghai is unsure now. He has paid a full two thousand yuan, nearly ten thousand in total. This is for his retirement. He should be lucky if he can live to old age.

"Yes, yes, yes, Jia Dongxu must have drunk too much, and what he said was not what he meant. What he said was not what he meant."

Yan Bugui could only comfort himself in this way temporarily.

Yi Zhonghai didn't know how he walked back home. Even though it was just two steps, he felt like he had walked for a long time.

Tan Guihua looked at Yi Zhonghai expectantly: "Old Yi, how is it?"

"We'll talk about it tomorrow."

This is the only thing we can do now. I hope Jia Dongxu is joking.

Tan Guihua stopped talking. Yi Zhonghai looked unhappy. If he spoke again, he would probably be criticized.

...

Jia family

"Dongxu, hurry up, give me mom's money."

Jia Zhang’s idea is very simple: the money that belongs to her is her own money.

"Mom, can't you wait for me to rest?"

"Dongxu, take a break. I'll get you a glass of water."

Jia Zhang hurriedly went to pour water for Jia Dongxu.

"Dongxu?"

She vaguely heard a lot of the conversation between Jia Dongxu and Yan Bugui outside just now. It seemed that things were not going smoothly, especially Jia Dongxu's current condition. He was carrying a bag when he went out, but this time he came back with a wine bottle in his hand.

"Don't talk, I want to be quiet."

As he spoke, Jia Dongxu raised his head and took another sip of wine.

"Dongxu, who is Jingjing? Is she my new daughter-in-law?"

When Jia Zhang came out with the water, she heard Jia Dongxu thinking quietly. In fact, in Jia Zhang's heart, Qin Huairu, who came from the countryside, was not worthy of her son at all. That was because the Jia family had a bad reputation and could not marry a city girl, so they could only marry a country girl. Now that Jia Dongxu has become capable and can make a lot of money, of course he wants to change to a city woman.

"Mom, what have you been thinking about all day?"

Jia Dongxu almost yelled out, it’s been so many years, and you’re still thinking about changing your daughter-in-law?

"Dongxu, I understand, I understand, I won't ask anymore, just give me the money."

"Mom, wait for your money. I'll tell you something."

Jia Dongxu had made up his mind that he would first solve his family problems and come up with a unified statement so that he could overcome the difficulties later.

Jia Zhang was very anxious: "Dongxu, please speak quickly."

Qin Huairu sat next to Jia Dongxu, with a sad face, and stared at Jia Dongxu silently.

Jia Dongxu looked unwilling and said in a low voice: "Mom, Huairu, my money was stolen."

"what?"

"Dongxu, are you okay?"

After Qin Huairu exclaimed, she began to worry about Jia Dongxu again.

"what?"

"Call the police, Dongxu, hurry up and call the police to get my money back."

"Oh, why is my life so miserable..."

"Old Jia..."

Unlike Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang is only concerned about her own money now. As for Jia Dongxu, there will definitely be no problem. What could go wrong if he can walk back?

"Mom, if you keep howling, do you want everyone in the hospital to come out and laugh at you? Do you want my master, Yan Bugui and Sha Zhu to come to me to collect the debt?"

The veins on Jia Dongxu's neck were bulging and he stared at Jia Zhang.

"Dongxu, I..."

Jia Zhang's lips trembled, but she did not dare to continue calling Old Jia.

"Mom, Huairu, from now on, no matter who asks you, just say you don't know."

"Don't worry, Dongxu, I know what to say."

Qin Huairu held Jia Dongxu's hand and gave his support immediately.

"Dongxu, but is it my money?"

Jia Zhang's first concern was her own money, and her own son came second.

"Mom, don't be afraid. That's just a small amount of money. Starting this month, I'll give you 5 yuan a month for your retirement."

This was the strategy Jia Dongxu had thought of on the way back. He naturally knew what his mother liked best.

"Dongxu, five dollars a month, that's only sixty dollars a year. I gave you two hundred and fifty dollars the day before yesterday. When can I get my money back?"

Thinking of her last two hundred and fifty yuan, Jia Zhang felt heartbroken.

"Mom, that's just small change. You're in your early fifties this year, and you can live to at least ninety. Do the math yourself, how much money can you save by then?"

"Dongxu, my mother's arithmetic is not good, you can calculate it for me."

"Mom, let's calculate it based on thirty years."

"What? Dongxu, you mean I can only live to be around 80 years old?"

"Mom, I mean if, this is easy to settle."

"Okay, if so, then it's okay."

"60 a year, that's 1800 in 1800 years, Mom, that's , think about it, how much more than your yuan?"

"Really? Dongxu, you didn't lie to mom?"

"Mom, don't you believe in your own son?"

"Humph, Lao Yi believed it, but the result of believing it was that he lost two thousand dollars."

"Mom, you...Okay, I'll give you the five dollars this month first."

Jia Dongxu took out five one-dollar bills and handed them to Jia Zhang.

"Dongxu, I will trust you once. From now on, as long as I am alive, you must give me five dollars every month."

"Okay, Mom, don't worry. You don't think I'll walk ahead of you, do you?"

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, Dongxu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Okay, Mom, just remember this. No matter who asks you, don't say anything else. Just say you don't know."

"I see."

Jia Zhang took the money and went back to her bedroom.

"Dongxu, what should we do from now on?"

Qin Huairu began to worry. Yesterday she was thinking about becoming a rich grandmother at home in the future, but her beautiful dream was shattered before she went to bed tonight.

"What should I do next?"

"Master, that's easy to deal with, but what about Yan Bugui and Sha Zhu? Sha Zhu will hit people when he gets angry."

"Don't worry about it. It's fine if Shazhu doesn't do anything, but if he dares to do anything, I will make sure that he can't even keep his little house."

"Dongxu, you..."

"Okay, stop talking. I'm very angry today. Let's go back to the house."

"Dongxu, you...you are still in this mood?"

"What nonsense, come here quickly."
