Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

When Chen Changan arrived at the middle courtyard, several gossipy aunties looked at each other silently, as if to say, the boy from the Chen family usually doesn't come to the middle courtyard easily, why is he here today? Wasn't it rumored that he went to work in the steel mill? Why did it appear now? Is the rumor inaccurate? Several aunties looked at one of them at the same time.

Without mentioning the gossiping aunties, Chen Changan walked directly to the door of Jia's house, knocked on the door and shouted, "Qin Huairu, your son ran into my kitchen in the middle of the night to steal food, don't you have any explanation?"

After hearing what Chen Changan said, the gossipy aunties nearby stopped talking and looked at Chen Changan with shining eyes. Their intuition told them that there would be another shocking piece of news today.

Hearing Chen Changan shouting outside the door, Qin Huairu hesitated, not knowing what to do, while Jia Zhangshi angrily opened the door and rushed out.

Pointing at Chen Changan's nose, he cursed, "You bastard, you have no father or mother, how dare you come to our house? You know we can't eat spicy food, but you still cook the fish so spicy, and you deliberately don't eat it and leave it in the kitchen. You did it on purpose, you want to make fun of us, right?"

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Chen Changan and the aunties who were gossiping in the yard were all stunned.

How could you, Jia Zhang, say such a thing? Chen Changan was speechless for a moment.

Seeing Chen Changan speechless for a moment, Jia Zhang felt that Chen Changan was nothing special and was no match for Jia Zhang. Then she said more complacently, "Because of your spicy fish head, my Bang Geng and I had to go to the toilet for the whole morning. How do you want to compensate me for this?"

While Chen Changan was still in shock, he rolled his eyes and continued, "I heard that you purchased several hundred kilograms of fish for the factory yesterday? Otherwise, you can compensate me with two big fish and forget about it."

Hearing this, Chen Changan was so angry that he laughed. He had seen unreasonable people before, but he had never seen such an unreasonable person. He stole your things, got sick from eating, and still asked you for compensation.

Chen Changan said to Jia Zhang, "Jia Zhang, are you sure you want to ask me for compensation? If you keep pestering me like this, I can only wait for the three gentlemen to come back and hold a general meeting. Let everyone criticize you."

At this time, Qin Huairu also came out of the house. Hearing that a meeting of the whole courtyard was going to be held, Qin Huairu, knowing that she was in the wrong, quickly walked to Chen Changan and whispered, "Changan, this is my family's fault. I will teach Banggeng a lesson when the time comes. He is still a child and does not understand. You know what kind of person my mother-in-law is. She is old, so don't bother with her. I will wash your clothes in the future. Is that okay?"

Before Chen Changan could say anything, Jia Zhang said, "No, you lowly maid, you are so lowly that you are willing to wash clothes for others."

Qin Huairu replied, "Mom, don't be so unreasonable..." Before she finished, Jia Zhang slapped Qin Huairu on the face and said, "You are so cheap. You are so eager to wash clothes for others. You have nothing to do here. Don't embarrass me. Go back to your room quickly."

Seeing Qin Huairu covering her face and turning away with tears in her eyes, Chen Changan finally saw Jia Zhang's true face clearly.

"Okay, Jia Zhangshi, your husband is not at home, and I am too lazy to say anything to you. If we fight, you will say that I am a grown man bullying you. When everyone comes back from work in the evening, I will ask Director Wang from the Street Office to come over, and the three uncles in the courtyard to criticize you together. I hope you can still be so tough when the time comes. You are an old lady with a rural household registration. You don't work every day, don't go to work, and don't contribute to the people. I will suggest to the Street Office that you go back to the countryside to farm."

After saying that, Chen Changan turned around and left, leaving Jia Zhang standing in the yard like a wooden chicken, unable to move.

Qin Huairu wanted to chase after Chen Changan and hold him back to say something nice to him, but unfortunately Chen Changan walked too fast and didn't give her any chance.

Chen Changan went home and told his sisters not to run around at home, then he left the courtyard and walked towards the street office.

At the gate of the street office, the same old man from last time appeared. He handed out a cigarette and chatted for a few words. He said he was going to look for Aunt Wang. Then he just waved his hand and let Chen Changan in.

After saying hello to a few aunties working in the big office, Chen Changan came to the door of Aunt Wang's office.

Knock on the door

"Please come in"

Seeing that Aunt Wang was the only one in the office, Chen Changan approached her with a playful smile and asked, "Aunt Wang, what are you busy with?"

Director Wang saw that it was Chen Changan who came and laughed, "You have only been on duty for a few days? I heard that you were assigned to purchasing? Why are you coming to my place instead of working properly?"

"Hey, what kind of work is there in purchasing? Our section chief asked us to report in every Monday. After all, it's purchasing. Don't we usually have to run around looking for unplanned materials? As long as we can complete our tasks every month, it's fine," said Chen Changan.

Hearing this, Director Wang said, "That's not bad. Can you complete the monthly tasks? Do you want me to help you think of a solution?"

"Then can Aunt Wang help me? My monthly task is to purchase materials worth 30 yuan according to the steel mill's price. I went fishing yesterday afternoon and was lucky. I caught more than 100 kilograms of fish. I just delivered it to the factory this morning. I was directly counted as three months' task. This task before becoming a regular employee is directly considered completed."

Director Wang nodded and said, "Well, if it's not about work, then it's about life? Then tell me, what is it?"

So Chen Changan told Director Wang about his fishing, cooking at night, Banggeng stealing fish in the middle of the night, and his going to the Jia family. Director Wang asked, "What do you think? Are you really going to let Jia Zhang go to the countryside?"

Chen Changan said aggrievedly, "It's not that I want her to go to the countryside, but she is shameless and unreasonable, looking for trouble in the yard every day. Relying on the protection of the old man, she is fearless."

Director Wang asked, "A great uncle's protection? Yi Zhonghai? What's going on here?"

Then Chen Changan told the story about the retirement group alliance formed by Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu, Sha Zhu and the deaf old lady. These people were the ones who were responsible for all the things happening in the courtyard.

Then he said, "I don't want to scheme with them every day, and be on guard against this and that every day. Yi Zhonghai's decision to find someone to take care of him in his old age has nothing to do with me. Just don't plot against me. I just want to work hard, support my sisters, be filial to Aunt Wang, and then marry a wife and live my own life every day."

After listening to this, Director Wang said, "I still need your respect. If your brother Liu knew you said that, he would beat you up."

"How is that possible? Brother Liu is so busy every day, and sometimes I can't even find him. I can still help at critical moments. Don't you think this is true?" Chen Changan complained quickly.

Director Wang smiled and said, "Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. I know what you said about your hospital. I will go to your hospital to hold a meeting later when the uncles are off work to warn them. Don't mess with them, just live your own life."

"Okay, I'll listen to Aunt Wang." Chen Changan said.

After finishing his talk, Chen Changan said hello to a few aunties from the street office and strolled out of the street office.
