Soul of the Siheyuan: Zhuzi, I can still give birth

Yi Zhonghai arrived at the steel rolling mill and found Director Yang and his colleagues.

Director Yang and his colleagues also have a headache.

Jia Dongxu did not die at his workstation, so it is a bit unreasonable to say that he died at work.

But he died in the factory, so at most he was at work somewhere else.

As to why he died in the material warehouse, that remains to be investigated.

After taking inventory of the warehouse, it was discovered that some of the brass parts in the warehouse were missing.

As to whether it was Jia Dongxu who took it, we don’t know, after all, he was not caught on the spot.

And now the person is dead, it’s even harder to explain.

When Yi Zhonghai heard what Director Yang said, he knew that he was going to make a characterization of Jia Dongxu.

So Yi Zhonghai said.

"Director Yang, and all the leaders, I have something to say."

Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-level worker in the steel rolling mill and has some weight in the factory.

Therefore, the leaders in the factory will give some face to us to some extent.

"Master Yi, if you have anything to say, please say it."

Yi Zhonghai cleared his throat and said.

"Dear leaders, before leaving get off work yesterday, I asked Jia Dongxu to go to the warehouse to get a part for processing. Who knew that this accident would happen?"

"I have a responsibility and I am willing to accept the factory's punishment. However, the person is dead now, but Jia Dongxu's family still has to continue living."

"Jia Dongxu's father died in the steel mill, and now Jia Dongxu is following in his father's footsteps."

"Two generations of a family have dedicated their lives to the steel mill. If the mill doesn't care about Jia Dongxu's widow, it will be a shame."

“What will the other workers think? Will they still work hard for the steel mill?”

"So I ask that the Jia family be given a chance to survive, and that the workers feel that the steel mill is a caring and warm factory."

"In this way, everyone will work harder in the future and contribute to the factory's production."

Yi Zhonghai's words are very provocative and make sense.

This made the leaders of the steel mill nod in approval.

"Master Yi, does Jia Dongxu have a wife in her twenties at home?"

Director Yang asked Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said.

"There is a wife named Qin Huairu. There are three children in the family. The youngest one is less than ten days old. The whole family depends on Jia Dongxu's salary."

"Look, Jia Dongxu just got promoted to Level 2 worker, and he said life would be easier. Who would have thought... Hey!!"

Yi Zhonghai tried his best to make the Jia family sound miserable so that the factory leaders would consider the Jia family.

"Okay, Master Yi, we will understand all of this, and we will also consider your report as appropriate. You go back first, and we will send someone to express our condolences later."

Director Yang said to Yi Zhonghai, and Yi Zhonghai also left the office.

Then Director Yang and other factory leaders began to discuss how to deal with the matter of Jia Dongxu.

Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard with a nervous mood. He was not sure how the factory would characterize Jia Dongxu.

Although the Jia family lived in a courtyard house, they were not very popular among their neighbors.

But today, many neighbors who were not working came to the Jia family to help.

I saw an old man coming back.

Qin Huairu stepped forward, grabbed the old man's hand and asked.

"Uncle, what did the factory say? They won't really classify it as theft, right?"

Jia Zhang also came over, grabbed the old man and asked anxiously.

"Yes, uncle, you are Dongxu's master, you have to help our family."

Yi Zhonghai looked at the beautiful and hardworking Qin Huairu and her warm little hands.

He looked at Jia Zhang, whose face was wrinkled and hair was full of silver hair, and suddenly felt disgusted.

He quickly pushed away Jia Zhang's hand and said.

"I have told the factory leaders everything I should say. I don't know how to characterize it. After all, I am not a leader and cannot make the decision."

When Jia Zhang heard the eldest master say this, she was also furious.

He muttered.

"You can't even do a single thing properly, you deserve to be wiped out. My son is dead, but I still have grandchildren, so I'll have someone to take care of me in the future. But you...!"

"From now on, there won't even be anyone to kowtow and burn paper at your grave! If you can't do this well, don't expect us Banggeng to call you grandpa."

After saying this, Jia Zhang sat aside and closed her eyes to rest.

An old lady is holding Xiao Huaihua, which was the name Jia Dongxu gave to the baby before he died.

Hearing the quarrel between Jia and Zhang, he also walked out of the house.

Seeing his wife coming out, Yi Zhonghai reluctantly pulled his hand out of Qin Huairu's little hand.

"Old Yi, what does the factory say? Is there any pension?"

An aunt also asked with concern.

The old man sighed, sat on the stool, and whispered briefly about what happened in the office with his leaders today.

After hearing what the old man said, Qin Huairu was speechless.

Compared to her unreasonable mother-in-law, Qin Huairu is much smarter and more sensible.

So in He Yuzhu's previous life, Qin Huairu was a good woman who was filial to her elders, loved her children, and was hardworking and kind.

And all of this is the character Qin Huairu designed for herself.

She deeply understands what a good reputation will bring her in this society.

So even though the Jia family was not welcome in the courtyard, the neighbors in the courtyard had a different attitude towards Qin Huairu.

Almost everyone who talks about Qin Huairu will give her a thumbs up and say that she is virtuous.

The uncle and aunt also thought so, so the aunt was concerned about what Qin Huairu and the children should do next.

"I think at least there will be a pension, but it shouldn't be much. As for Jia Dongxu's workstation, I don't know. We can only get a result after the factory sends someone to investigate."

As they were talking, two middle-aged men walked into the courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai had met these two people before. They were clerks in the steel rolling mill's office building and should have come to learn about the Jia family's situation.

Yi Zhonghai naturally stepped forward to greet them, and then asked the two to sit down.

Qin Huairu immediately poured two cups of hot tea and brought them to the two staff members.

After questioning the neighbors in the courtyard, it was preliminarily confirmed that the Jia family was indeed living in difficulty.

"Okay, we understand. We will report the specific situation to the factory leaders truthfully, but we will have to wait for some time to decide how to deal with it."

The two clerks stood up and said goodbye.

Yi Zhonghai sent them out of the courtyard.

For lunch, we had corn noodles made by an old lady again.

Jia Zhang had been craving for food because she had eaten a lot of meat and fish every day in the past few days.

How can I eat cornmeal?

Jia Zhang cursed as she ate.

"This cornmeal makes my throat hurt. Isn't there any other flour?"

"Uncle, with your high monthly salary, why don't you buy some meat? You feed our family with this all day long."

"Look at our terrier, he's all skinny from hunger."

Bang Geng, who was standing next to him, was also very cooperative. He started crying as soon as the bowl was pushed away.

"Grandma, grandma, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat."

Xiaodang, who was eating cornmeal at the side, also followed his brother Banggeng's example and clamored for meat.

Qin Huairu glanced at the old man and his wife, and when she saw that they didn't say anything, tears immediately burst out of her eyes.

She wiped away her tears and said while hugging Banggeng and Xiaodang.

"Good boy, little darling, with such a big incident at home, how can we have money to buy meat? It's all mom's fault. Mom is incompetent and can't let you eat meat, wuwuwu...!"

Don't even say it.

This widow Qin (now she can be called a widow) has really good acting skills, especially her tears, which come as soon as she speaks, and is comparable to that of an Oscar-winning actress.

The old man and the old woman also looked unhappy.

An old man frowned and whispered in the ear of an old woman.

"Go and give the meat ticket in the box to Ma Ma, and go buy a pound of meat for the children!"

The aunt looked reluctant.

Now it's a planned economy.

My family couldn’t get a few pounds of meat coupons for several months, and this was my own family’s Lao Yi, an eighth-level worker at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Only with the special care of the factory could one get some meat coupons every few months.

Otherwise, you have to take the risk and buy expensive meat on the black market.

Yi Zhonghai earns 99 yuan a month, which is a high salary even in a steel mill.

But in the courtyard, he is the boss.

Even though he has money, he dare not buy meat often. He has to maintain his image and cannot let others say that he enjoys life too much and does not know how to endure hardship.

This is not conducive to his management of the courtyard.

So sometimes when I eat meat, I would do it late at night, close the doors and windows, and hide away to eat quietly.

I saw an old lady who was unwilling.

The old man had a stern face, but he still asked the old woman to go buy meat quickly.

Auntie hasn't given birth to a single egg for the Yi family in all these years, so how could she dare to disobey Uncleie's words?

He could only reluctantly go home to get the meat ticket and money, and then rush out to buy meat.

It was already past two in the afternoon when the braised pork was served on the table.

At the dinner table, except for Qin Huairu, the rest of the Jia family members pounced on the bowl of meat and vegetables like vicious dogs, which was not much to begin with.

This bowl of braised pork is not authentic. According to He Yuzhu, it is not braised pork at all, it is just ordinary stewed meat with a terrible taste.

However, this did not affect the Jia family's eating.

Especially Jia Zhang, she almost put the bowl of meat in front of her.

The old lady was so angry that she threw down her chopsticks and went home.

Widow Qin was so angry at her mother-in-law's lack of manners that she even drove the aunt away.

I was just about to say something to comfort the old man.

The old man also slapped his chopsticks, got up and went home.

"Uncle, uncle, the meal is not finished yet!"

Qin Huairu wanted to get up and chase after him, but was stopped by Jia Zhang.

"Qin Huairu, let me tell you, although my Dongxu is gone, you are a member of my Jia family in life and a ghost of my Jia family in death, so don't think too much!"

"Don't think I can't see that old man Yi Zhonghai has been flirting with you these past two days."

"If you dare to do anything to let my Jia family down, I will go to the street office right away and sue you for being a whore. I'll make you eat a bullet!"

After Jia Zhang finished speaking, she put another piece of braised pork into her mouth.

She was just trying to blackmail Qin Huairu, telling her not to think too much and to stay in the Jia family honestly.

He supported himself and the three children of the Jia family.

Qin Huairu also felt these two days that the old man had different ideas about her.

As someone who has been there.

How could she not know what the old man was thinking?

She originally wanted to take advantage of the uncle's feelings for her and gain some benefits from him.

Otherwise, the Jia family, with its orphans and widowed mother, would probably not be able to survive.

However, before he could take any action, Jia Zhang gave him a warning.

"Mom, don't worry, I will raise Bang Geng and the others, and I will not ignore you. But look at what we have at home. The food we eat now is from an uncle's family. You are really stubborn. Don't eat it."

Qin Huairu said aggrievedly.

This damn old woman.

I am not good at anything, but eating is my first priority.

When Jia Zhang saw that Qin Huairu was still obedient, she felt a lot more relieved.

I used to have my own son earning money.

This daughter-in-law is still inferior to me.

But now he has lost his support, and his daughter-in-law is still so young and beautiful.

If she really doesn't want this family and remarries, I'm afraid many men will scramble to marry her.

By then, the Jia family would only have three children, and if one of them was looked down upon, they would probably all starve to death before surviving one episode.

Since my daughter-in-law has said something soft, I, as a mother-in-law, cannot push her too hard.

"Huai Ru, Mom is also a widow, and I know it's hard to be a widow, and I didn't mean to tie you up."

"But, as you can see, there are three children in the family. The oldest is only six years old, and the youngest is not even a month old."

"If you really don't care about this family anymore, we, the grandmother and the grandchildren, won't be able to survive."

As she spoke, Jia Zhang also started crying.

This time I really cried.

The two children started crying too.

Qin Huairu held the two children and said to Jia Zhang.

"Mom, don't worry, I won't ignore this family. For the sake of my children, I am willing to sacrifice everything."

Qin Huairu also carried out this sentence to the end in the original drama.

For a few white flour buns.

Qin Huairu is willing to go to the small warehouse with her co-workers.

For a meal.

She can go to the grove with Xu Damao.

For this family.

Qin Huairu also had unclear relationships with many men in the factory.

The old man and his wife returned home.

The aunt was so angry that she sat on the edge of the bed and sulked.

An old man came over and said.

"Look at you, why are you angry? Jia Zhang is just that kind of person. It's been so many years, how can you not understand it!"

An auntie said with a stern face.

"Boss, there is something I wanted to tell you yesterday."

An old man also sat down beside the bed and asked in a low voice.

"Just tell me what's going on. There are only two of us at home."

An auntie said seriously.

"Master, we treated the Jia family well in the past because we wanted Jia Dongxu to take care of us in our old age."

The old man nodded.

So the aunt continued.

"But now that Jia Dongxu is dead, even if Banggeng wants to take care of us in our old age, he is only six years old. Who knows what will happen in the future? I think we should make plans early."

The uncle had thought about what the aunt said.

The stick is too small.

Who can predict what will happen in the next few decades?

Given the short-lived tradition of the Jia family, who knows how big this stick will grow.

It seems that we really have to turn our attention to Sha Zhu.

"Okay, I'll find an opportunity to ask the deaf old lady to help me get along well with Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu may be a bit of a scoundrel, but at least he's a real person."

The aunt nodded, but said with a little worry.

"I think the relationship between Zhuzi and us is quite difficult now."

The old man sighed and then spoke confidently.

"It's not a big deal. After their father He Daqing passed away, his brother and sister would have starved to death if we hadn't given them food from time to time. They should be grateful to us."

The old man even saw himself enjoying his old age under Sha Zhu's care.

"Yes, yes, Zhuzi listens to the deaf old lady. If the old lady goes, there will be no problem."

"It's just that I think we should not get involved in the meals that the Jia family has been preparing for recently. It's useless to treat the Zhang family well, no matter how good we are to them."

Auntie doesn't want to get involved with the Jia family.

This one got the approval of an old man.

What kind of person is this? He takes other people's things and spends them generously.

He doesn't want to suffer any loss.

"Okay, we won't get involved with the Jia family for dinner. Let's go buy a chicken and stew it. I'll take it to the old lady in the evening and talk to her about Sha Zhu."

This time, the aunt had no resistance to buying chickens, but went out happily.

After get off work today, He Yuzhu caught a duck in the alien space and planned to stew it for dinner today.

At this time, He Yuzhu almost always eats chickens, ducks, or geese every day.

These days, many leaders in the factory can't compare to him.

It also makes people in the hospital envious.

They all wanted to have a good relationship with He Yuzhu so that they could get some benefits in the future.

Of course, He Yuzhu is not that unkind.

Except for those few families, He Yuzhu was not cold to the rest of the neighbors.

This made the old man and his wife feel that they also had an opportunity to take advantage of.
