Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Qin Jingru could also see that Xu Damao must have been targeted by the factory leaders during his trip to the countryside, and she guessed that it might be because of Lin Geng, so she muttered and cursed Lin Geng for being too cruel and unkind.

But when Xu Damao heard Qin Jingru scolding Lin Geng, his face suddenly changed color with fear. He knew that Lin Geng's ears were very good. If Lin Geng heard the couple scolding him at home again, wouldn't she continue to punish him?

So he immediately yelled at Qin Jingru, "Shut up, you bitch, you know nothing. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll beat you up! Don't say bad things about Lin Zi in the future, and don't scold him. I deserve to be punished this time, so don't blame Lin Zi!

I warn you again, stay away from your cousin and have less contact with her. I was harmed by your cousin this time! If she hadn't listened to her, would I have been punished so badly? "

After being scolded by Xu Damao, Qin Jingru did not dare to say anything. She also felt that Xu Damao had brought trouble upon himself by Lin Geng. Miss Lou did not even go on a blind date with him, so what did knowing Lin Geng have to do with Xu Damao? But Xu Damao ran to stop Miss Lou from saying bad things about Lin Geng and wanted to break them up. Wasn't this asking for trouble?

Xu Damao has married her now, so Lou Xiao'e is her enemy. Her cousin knew that Lou Xiao'e almost married Xu Damao, but still dragged Xu Damao to destroy the relationship between Lin Geng and Lou Xiao'e. Her cousin is also bored and now she is being beaten up badly by Lin Geng. It is all her own fault.

So Qin Jingru also hated Qin Huairu for this matter, blaming Qin Huairu for making trouble and implicating Xu Damao, causing her to be scolded as well. So during this period of time, she also followed Xu Damao's instructions and no longer helped Qin Huairu or helped Qin Huairu take care of the children. No matter how Qin Huairu begged her, she always said one thing: even if Xu Damao disagreed, she dared not disobey him.

During this period, Xu Damao and Qin Huairu had a hard time. She was exhausted from moving materials in the workshop every day. After get off work every day, she had to cook and wash for the three children. Her originally rosy and fair face became much thinner due to exhaustion.

The Chinese New Year was approaching, and some things happened in the courtyard again. The deaf old lady in the backyard finally ended her life lonely in her house. She died half a month before the Chinese New Year.

Since Yi Zhonghai's death, the old deaf man was frightened and suffered a stroke, becoming paralyzed on one side and could only lie in bed. No one in the yard was willing to take care of the old lady because her character was too bad. Finally, the street office saw no other choice but to pay Yan Bugui's family to help take care of her.

Given Yan Bugui's stingy personality, it was impossible for him to feed the old deaf woman good food. Every day she had cornmeal porridge, steamed corn bread and pickles, which made the old deaf woman very unhappy. She had complained many times, wanting to eat meat and white flour buns, but there was no way Yan Bugui and his wife would fulfill her wish and certainly would not feed her good food.

The old deaf woman was still throwing tantrums and making a fuss several times. She threw away the food that Aunt Yan sent her and threatened not to eat these hard-to-swallow things. But the old and stingy Yan couple would not tolerate her. Seeing that she threw away the porridge and steamed buns, they cleaned them up and ignored her. Since she didn't want to eat these things, she might as well starve. It was better to be slightly hungry. If she was very hungry, she would eat it herself.

After the old deaf woman protested several times, she did not achieve her goal and was starving. She slammed the kang and shouted that she would go to the street office to sue Yan Bugui and his wife. But now she could not even get out of bed or walk. Without someone to carry her to the street office, she could not go.

The old deaf woman then howled all day long in the house, but because she had always relied on the character that Yi Zhonghai had created for her in the past, she acted domineeringly in the yard, knocking on people's glass at every turn, and demanded that everyone in the yard treat her like an ancestor and give her the first honor when they had any delicious food. She had completely ruined her popularity.

Now that the old deaf man's golden body has been broken, Yi Zhonghai has gone offline, and Sha Zhu no longer respects her, no one in the yard takes her seriously anymore. She just howls at home and no one pays any attention to her.

After several attempts at struggle, she was unable to force Yan Bugui and his wife to improve her life, and she was half starved to death. At this time, the old deaf woman realized that she was no longer the respected ancestor of the courtyard. No one would pamper her now, so she could only accept her fate.

Half a year ago, the old deaf man finally had someone find Sha Zhu and met her. The old deaf man had a talk with Sha Zhu and agreed to leave her house to Sha Zhu and his wife after her death, and also leave all the money she had hidden before to Sha Zhu. He asked Sha Zhu and his wife to take care of her. Even if Sha Zhu and his wife had to go to work during the day, they could come back at night and cook a delicious meal for her. She would not live for many more days now, so she wanted to eat something good before she died.

Finally, after some discussion between Sha Zhu and Zhao Erya, Sha Zhu agreed to the old deaf man's request because the old deaf man had been quite nice to him in the past. They also invited Aunt Liu from the street office to come over and sign a written agreement. From then on, Sha Zhu and his wife were responsible for taking care of the deaf old lady.

Director Wang and his colleagues in the Street Office were quite satisfied with the result. After all, they could finally get rid of the burden of the deaf old lady. Otherwise, the Street Office would have to bear the living expenses of the deaf old lady every month and pay eight yuan per month for Yan Bugui's family's care.

Now that Sha Zhu and his wife are willing to take over the care of the deaf old lady, there is no need for the street office to continue to bear the extra expenses. The street office is also happy to see this happen, so it stepped forward to handle the care and inheritance matters for both parties.

However, this incident made Yan Bugui very unhappy. After Sha Zhu took over the deaf old lady, their family lost eight yuan in income. For this reason, Aunt Yan even had a quarrel with Sha Zhu, thinking that Sha Zhu had stolen their business.

In the end, it was Lin Geng who stepped in to mediate their quarrel and asked Yan Bugui to stop making trouble, because this was a matter that was mutually agreed upon between the old deaf man and Sha Zhu. If their family continued to make trouble, once the street office found out, Yan Bugui would definitely not end up well and would probably be criticized and punished.

Yan Bugui agreed with this. After all, they did not treat the old deaf man well when they were taking care of him. Every day they served him with cornmeal porridge, sweet potato noodles, cornmeal steamed buns and pickles, just to keep him from starving to death. Every month, they would deduct one or two yuan from the living expenses given to the old deaf man by the street office.

If the subdistrict office were to seriously settle the matter for them, Yan Bugui would definitely not end up well. In the end, he might even have to ask for the money he had paid to them back, and then be punished. By then, it would be a loss.

So even though Yan Bugui felt painful about losing this income, he had no choice but to accept it. As for Sha Zhu, his family did not dare to do anything to him. After all, Sha Zhu and Lin Geng had a close relationship. To offend Sha Zhu was to offend Lin Geng. If Lin Geng did not let their family take advantage in the future, it would be even more of a loss.
