Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

Lin Baoyan had watched Sha Zhu's blind date and marriage all the way, so of course she knew what kind of person He Sanmei was. She smiled and said, "Sha Zhu's wife He Sanmei is a little greedy. I thought Sha Zhu would have a hard time in the future. But, after all, a biological son is always better than a good kid."

Wu Zhi shook his head: "It's hard to say, anyway, he is living a miserable life now."

Lin Baoyan didn't quite believe it: "How miserable can it be? He's a chef, and he can at least get enough food for his mother and daughter. He can support three people, so his salary is definitely enough, and he can even collect rainwater during normal times."

Wu Zhi smiled: "Have you forgotten the He family?"

"The He family has been staying in the courtyard for the past few years, relying on Sha Zhu for support. Now He Yushui's room is occupied by the four members of the He family, which means that Sha Zhu has to support seven people with his salary instead of three. Tsk tsk, didn't he always say in the TV series that 37.5 yuan a month was enough for one person to feed the whole family? Now he has to support seven people, let's see how he can still be arrogant."

Lin Baoyan really didn't know about this, and was surprised to hear that Sha Zhu was supporting seven people by himself. However, she didn't care how many people Sha Zhu had to support, she only cared about He Yushui.

"Where has Yu Shui lived during her holidays these past few years? That's not right. The He family has rural household registration. They stay in the city all year round. Won't the street chase them away? Even if the paralyzed father of the He family can stay, there is no reason for the two brothers to stay. Why don't the three uncles care?"

Wu Zhi was overjoyed: "Now there is only one Third Uncle, Yan Bugui. The other two have never been able to become the eldest uncle again since they were dismissed. Liu Haizhong is always displeased with Yan Bugui, and Yi Zhonghai always tries to trip him up. Yan Bugui is so smart that he never fell for it. These three old men are restless now, so how can they have the energy to take care of other things? What's more, the victim Sha Zhu didn't say anything, and that family just made trouble in the He family, and the others were happy to watch the fun."

"Besides, nothing above says that the He family must leave, so let them continue to live here."

Lin Baoyan was worried that He Yushui would suffer a loss, so she asked, "Then do you know how He Yushui has been doing over the years?"

She has now changed her identity and it is not appropriate for her to continue associating with He Yushui. Otherwise, everything the organization has done before will be meaningless.

"Don't worry, He Yushui is fine," Wu Zhi admired the girl a little. "She is worthy of being a supporting role in the TV series who can jump out of the courtyard. After she went to high school, she only went back to the courtyard once or twice a year. Every time she came back, she brought a lot of bags. People around her said that He Yushui was a pitiful child. She met such a hateful brother and sister-in-law. She was forced to have no home to return to, but she always went home to visit her brother and sister-in-law."

Another comment: "Her method was good. Everyone sympathized with her. When she applied for college and investigated her family situation, her neighbors all spoke well of her. That's why she was able to go to college so smoothly."

"As long as she keeps her mind normal, she will be fine as a college student."

Lin Baoyan finally felt relieved: "This is good. Shazhu deserves the way he has lived. Yu Shui can't be cheated by Shazhu again."

She asked again: "So how is the Jia family now? Is it the same as in the TV series?"

Wu Zhi narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "The power of the plot is quite strong."

Lin Baoyan opened her eyes wide, "How could it be? There isn't such a severe famine this time. No substitute foods have appeared. There are still sweet potatoes and other things to exchange in the Pigeon Market. Jia Dongxu won't be so hungry that he will have an accident."

"That's why I said that the power of the plot is quite great."

"Didn't various forums discuss that Jia Dongxu might have had an accident at work because of hunger? This time, Jia Dongxu still had an accident at work, but it doesn't make sense to say it was because of hunger."

Wu Zhi said calmly, "What has been lacking in recent years is actually fine grains. The price of fine grains on the pigeon market is particularly high. During the Chinese New Year last year, white flour on the black market was 2 yuan per pound. At this price, apart from the former capitalists, only a few families can afford it. Most families fill their stomachs with various coarse grains, like Yan Bugui's family."

"In theory, if most of the Jia family eats coarse grains, they can fill their stomachs."

"But Jia Zhang and Bang Geng can't do that. They don't eat cornmeal steamed bread, and Qin Huairu loves her son very much and cares about her reputation as a good wife and mother."

Lin Baoyan's face darkened. "The Jia family has only one urban hukou, Jia Dongxu. However, the proportion of fine grain has decreased a lot in the past two years. His family has a huge gap in fine grain. It is also difficult to buy bargain grain at this time, so they have to go to the Pigeon Market."

"There is no fine grain in the pigeon market, only on the black market. The price on the black market is what Jia Dongxu can buy with his salary." Wu Zhi added.

Neither of them spoke.

Originally, everyone thought that the famine this time was not that serious and that few people in the country would lose their lives due to hunger. Jia Dongxu, who died in various ways in various fan novels, should not be able to die here.

In the end, he died.

All I can say is that with such a family of relatives, Jia Dongxu had to die even if he didn't want to.

Jia Dongxu is dead, and Qin Huairu is about to become Widow Qin, but neither of the people present cares about this.

Lin Baoyan only cares about He Yushui, the girl who gave her friendship when she first traveled through time. Now that He Yushui's future is bright, of course she has let go of everything and no longer cares about how the rest of the people are doing.

I asked Jia Dongxu simply out of curiosity about the unsolved mysteries of the TV series.

Wu Zhi also didn't want Lin Baoyan to care too much about the courtyard.

Today's courtyard houses, or the city, are really messy.

Wu Zhi was very dissatisfied when Lin Baoyan was transferred from the 9th Department and arranged to this rural place. For people in later generations, who would want to move from the comfortable city center to live in the countryside where everything is inconvenient?

Only now do I realize the mystery of this arrangement.

This place is far away from the vortex.

The biggest danger she usually encounters is DT who wants to steal the research results of the professor of Agricultural University. Even if she is caught accidentally at that time, her life will not be in danger and she will be rescued soon.

All I have to do is concentrate on studying. My biggest worry every day is probably that I don’t know how to do this question, so I have to do a few more questions.

Apart from these, she is just like an ordinary person.

It’s different in the city. Secret agencies everywhere are now extremely busy.

They underestimated the temptation of power and money to people of this era.

At the beginning, they took advantage of a mistake and created the illusion of a lost immortal cultivation civilization. As a result, some old and powerful foreigners believed it and kept luring the weak-minded people in China.

Those who were seduced are now jumping up and down, clamoring to form a research team to study the newly discovered remains of the immortal civilization.

But where did the relics come from? They were just forged by a special department, with a few fake goods inside that were exchanged for a price. As a result, these fake goods were attacked by a large number of people armed with advanced weapons during transportation. The special forces members who acted as guards at the time had to expose their strength and annihilate the attackers.

Now, the existence of the special forces team was exposed.

He has been running around for this in recent years.
