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

The next day, Yi Zhonghai came to see Qin Huairu early in the morning.

"Uncle, what's the matter so early?"

Qin Huairu was curious.

What is this old pervert doing in my house so early in the morning?

"Huai Ru, come out for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Yi Zhonghai looked around the Jia family's house and spoke mysteriously to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu couldn't afford to offend him, so she could only follow him out of the house.

After walking to the corner, Yi Zhonghai said to Qin Huairu.

"Huai Ru, please ask for leave from the workshop for me today."

Qin Huairu was curious.

Yi Zhonghai usually doesn't ask for leave unless there is something big.

"Uncle, what can I do for you?"

The old man showed a happy look on his face.

"Auntie wants to divorce me, but that's fine. After all, she can't have children, so there's no point keeping her. Don't worry, I'll marry you soon, and from now on, all my money will be yours!"

Qin Huairu was shocked by Yi Zhonghai's words.

Everything is fine, why are you getting divorced?

However, when Qin Huairu thought of the money in Yi Zhonghai's hands, she suddenly felt that this old Baby was a lot more handsome.

"Okay, uncle. I'll ask for leave for you. Just go and do your job."

Qin Huairu said to Yi Zhonghai with a smile on her face, which made Yi Zhonghai very happy.

'Marrying Qin Huairu is a sure thing!'

Qin Huairu returned home thoughtfully. Seeing her smiling face, Jia Zhang became furious.

Because Yi Zhonghai came to see Qin Huairu just now, she also knew about it.

"Qin Huairu, you went to see that adulterer again so early in the morning. Do you still have any shame? You have a child...!"

Qin Huairu really couldn't tolerate Jia Zhang.

"This old woman is cursing again. If she marries Yi Zhonghai this time, I will kick her out of the house and let her go back to the countryside."

"I don't have to go to work anymore. I can just stay at home and take care of the kids, so I don't have to listen to this old man nagging me all day long."

Qin Huairu had already planned out Jia Zhang's and her own future.

"Jia Zhang, you'd better behave yourself. I'm telling you, the first uncle is going to divorce the first aunt today. If you don't know what's good for you and you dare to scold me again, I'll send you back to the countryside!"

After hearing Qin Huairu's words, Jia Zhang suddenly became furious. She jumped up and pointed at Qin Huairu's nose and said.

"Widow Qin, look at how capable you are. You're saying that old man Yi Zhonghai will marry you after he gets divorced. Stop dreaming!"

Faced with Jia Zhang's ridicule, Qin Huairu chose to ignore it and went straight to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Ran Qiuye got up early.

Now I'm lying on the door crack and looking out.

He Yuzhu was brushing his teeth as he walked out and saw Ran Qiuye sticking her butt out and peeking out through the crack in the door.

He Yuzhu walked over and slapped her on the butt.

"What are you looking at? Peeking in here so early in the morning."

Ran Qiuye touched her spanked butt and said to He Yuzhu without turning her head.

"Zhu Zi, early this morning, Yi Zhonghai went to find Qin Huairu. I don't know what they said, and then there was a quarrel in the Jia family."

He Yuzhu was speechless.

Getting up early in the morning just to gossip about this?

"Qiuye, aren't you a little too bored? You got up so early in the morning and just did this?"

Ran Qiuye continued speaking without turning back.

"My compound is full of teachers, and everyone is polite to each other. Let alone fighting, there's never even an argument. It's so boring!"

After saying that, Ran Qiuye stood up and continued to speak to He Yuzhu.

"But your courtyard is different. It's so lively. Everyone is so interesting. They are either arguing or on the way to an argument all day long. I really like this courtyard."

Ran Qiuye didn't think there was anything wrong with living with a bunch of beasts in this courtyard. Instead, he liked it here more.

It's really incomprehensible.

He Yuzhu gently scratched Ran Qiuye's little nose, then turned and went into the kitchen.

"Qiuye, what do you want for breakfast? How about we go out and eat wontons? There's a wonton shop on the street that tastes great!"

He Yuzhu was too lazy to cook breakfast.

After being busy for half a day, I can’t eat much, so it’s better to eat out, which is convenient and quick.

As for money and tickets, He Yuzhu had no shortage of them at all.

Now he earns tens of thousands of yuan a month, all of which he exchanges for small yellow croakers and saves.

As for food coupons, there were so many of them that they could not be used up. If you ran out of them, you could just exchange them with Mr. Han.

"Zhu Zi, isn't it a waste to eat out? We should be more frugal. When we have children, there will be many more places to spend money!"

Ran Qiuye thought about saving more money, which would be useful in the future.

"It's just a few cents. I'm still short of your thirty or fifty cents. Hurry up and wash up, then we'll go have breakfast."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he packed up his canvas bag, put fifty cents under the fruit plate on the table, and left a corner exposed. Then he sat on the stool and waited for Ran Qiuye to finish washing up.

After washing up, Ran Qiuye went out with He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu gently closed the door and was about to leave with Ran Qiuye, but was stopped by Ran Qiuye.

"Zhu Zi, you haven't locked the door yet, aren't you afraid of losing something?"

Qin Huairu was washing things by the sink.

Anyway, her family has to pay several dollars more for water every month, so it would be better to wash more clothes. If they have to pay more, everyone can pay together.

A direct attack would injure 800 enemies and 1,000 of your own.

Qin Huairu became unhappy when she heard Ran Qiuye's words.

Isn't it obvious that there is a thief in the yard?

The only one in this yard who has ever stolen anything is my own dog Bang Geng.

This is something that everyone in the courtyard knows. Now that Teacher Ran talks about locking the door, isn't he implying that his own son Bang Geng is a thief?

"Teacher Ran, you may not know since you just came to Siheyuan, but our Siheyuan is a civilized courtyard and we don't lock the doors."

Ran Qiuye not only knew about Banggeng's stealing, but had also experienced it personally.

But as a good head teacher, I certainly won't take the initiative to provoke the parents of my students.

"Is that so? Let's not talk about whether something is lost or not. If something is really lost, who should be held responsible for it?"

There were a bunch of neighbors washing up by the pool in the yard. They were chatting and laughing just now, but when they suddenly heard Ran Qiuye's words, they all looked at each other.

Yes.

It’s not like things have never been lost in the yard before.

They were just needles, threads, steamed buns, and multi-grain cakes.

So no one cared.

Now that He's wife has brought up this matter, it does become a problem.

If something big is really lost in the future and the door is not locked, who should be held responsible?

"Yes, Teacher Ran is right. We are not allowed to lock the door. If something is lost in the future, who will be held responsible?"

"That's right. Teacher Ran is indeed worthy of being a people's teacher. He pointed out the safety hazard right away."

"Of course, don't you see who it is? This is our Director He's daughter-in-law. This is the leader's wife!"

The people in the yard flattered her, making Ran Qiuye blush with shame.

He Yuzhu didn't say anything.

It is impossible for me to stay by Ran Qiuye's side and protect her forever. There are some things that she has to face on her own.

Qin Huairu became anxious when she saw her neighbors turning against her.

If all this were to help Ran Qiuye, I would probably have no place to stand in the hospital in the future.

"Uncle, uncle, come here quickly, someone in the yard wants to cause trouble."

Jia Zhang was also anxious.

They must not let Ran Qiuye step on the Jia family, otherwise anyone can bully them in the future and they will be left as an orphan and a widow.

Just as I was getting anxious, I saw an old man and an old woman going out.

So he quickly called Yi Zhonghai and asked him to deal with Ran Qiuye.

Yi Zhonghai was in a hurry to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce, so he had no time to care about anything else.

But when he saw that it was the Jia family's business, he became more concerned.

I am about to marry Qin Huairu, so helping the Jia family now is also helping myself.

So he strode into the crowd.

When he saw Qin Huairu’s flushed face, he knew that he was being targeted again.

A nameless anger rose in my heart.

I don’t even know that this pretty widow is my wife-to-be.

How can you be bullied? Isn't this going against Tiangang?

But the person opposite is Shazhu’s wife, and he can’t afford to offend her now.

"Hey...hey...be quiet, be quiet!"

Yi Zhonghai decided to mediate, otherwise it would be so chaotic and disgraceful.

"My dear Zhuzi, you may not know this since you just arrived here, but we are a civilized compound, selected by the street office."

"One of the criteria for this selection is that you should not pick up things on the road and leave your door unlocked at night. Therefore, we haven't locked the door in our yard for many years, so it's better not to lock your door."

"Besides, we are all from the same compound and have been neighbors for more than ten years. No one would steal anything."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Ran Qiuye sneered.

"You're just an old man, right? I didn't say who stole anything. I was talking about... in the future, if something is lost in the courtyard, who should be responsible?"

Yi Zhonghai gave Ran Qiuye a blank look.

"This girl is so fair and pretty, how can she be so unreliable? How can she be held responsible for something that didn't happen?"

Although he was complaining in his heart, he still said it.

"Teacher Ran, you are joking. It's useless to talk about something that hasn't even happened yet!"

Ran Qiuye shook his head.

"I believe everyone knows the old saying, 'bring an umbrella when it's sunny and food when it's hungry'. This is called preparing for a rainy day."

"What I'm asking now is, if something is lost, who is responsible? If something happens, it has to be resolved, right?"

Yi Zhonghai couldn't find any reason to refute Ran Qiuye's words.

At this time, a neighbor spoke up.

"If something goes wrong, of course the three uncles in the hospital will be responsible."

"Yes, the three uncles are in charge. They usually make the decisions and have the final say. If something goes wrong, they will definitely be held responsible."

The second uncle and the third uncle were just about to squeeze into the crowd to eat melons.

Now when they heard the neighbors in the yard mention them, they had different thoughts.

The second uncle feels that the neighbors in the yard now mention him, which is a recognition of his abilities.

So he happily squeezed into the crowd.

“Thank you, everyone, for your support and recognition.”

"I, Liu Haizhong, will serve the neighbors in the courtyard wholeheartedly and responsibly in the days to come!"

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he found that everyone in the yard was staring at him as if he were an idiot.

Xu Damao, who was standing by, pulled the second uncle aside and told him what had just happened.

After hearing that if there was a theft or other major incidents in the courtyard, the three uncles would be responsible, Liu Haizhong was so scared that he dared not say anything more.

The third uncle naturally didn't dare to say anything. In this situation, it would be best for him to get rid of the responsibility.

To quote Tang Sanzang in A Chinese Odyssey.

"You are going to die, and you are the one who takes the blame."

I only want benefits, and I absolutely cannot take responsibility.

Ran Qiuye pointed at the chattering neighbors in the yard and said to Yi Zhonghai.

"Look, everyone knows this, so why don't you, as the eldest uncle in the courtyard, know about it?"

"Since you are the uncles in the courtyard and manage the courtyard, you are like the head of the family. If something happens at home, of course you three uncles will be responsible. I think everyone has no objection."

The neighbors in the yard have long been dissatisfied with the three uncles.

Over the years, I have never received any benefits for myself, but I have always made donations.

I have long wanted to teach these three uncles a lesson, especially the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai.

"Yes, from now on, if something happens in the hospital, the three uncles will bear the responsibility. Since he is the eldest uncle, he will bear most of the responsibility."

"That's right, the one who is most nosy is the eldest uncle, who helps the Jia family all day long and doesn't care about us."

Seeing the neighbors in the yard surging in crowds, Yi Zhonghai was not at all panicked.

As long as I shouted angrily, the people in the yard would immediately quiet down.

"Okay, stop talking and shut up."

The old man roared, and the neighbors in the yard really stopped talking.

Seeing that the first uncle had the situation under control, the second and third uncles also stepped forward and loudly rebuked everyone.

If you are not strong now, you will just have to wait for the neighbors in the yard to turn against you.

Ran Qiuye saw that everyone in the yard was scared, and I didn’t know what to do for a moment.

So he turned to He Yuzhu, hoping to get his help.

He Yuzhu gave her a thumbs up, indicating that she did a good job.

Yi Zhonghai said to Ran Qiuye at this time.

"Teacher Ran, as a newcomer in the courtyard, you don't understand the rules of the courtyard. I won't blame you for this, but since you want to live here, you must follow the rules of our courtyard."

‘Papa pa pa’

There was a burst of applause.

He Yuzhu said as he clapped his hands with a sly smile on his face.

"My wife is indeed a new tenant, but she is also talking about a problem."

"Since no one is talking, I won't be responsible if anything is lost in your house in the future."

"But if anything is lost in my house, you three uncles can't escape responsibility."

He Yuzhu walked up to Ran Qiuye, held her hand, and spoke to the three uncles.

"So three gentlemen, I want you to sign a guarantee agreement."

"From now on, if anything is lost in my house, as long as there is solid evidence, the three uncles will be jointly liable."

"In exchange, I, He Yuzhu, am willing to meet the three gentlemen's requests that are not excessive."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, the second and third uncles' eyes immediately lit up.

The third uncle immediately walked up to He Yuzhu and said.

"Zhu Zi, if I sign, can it be settled that Yu Li can work in the canteen of the steel mill?"

The second uncle also said to He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, if Second Master signs, can you please say a few good words for me in front of the leader and let me be a leader, even a team leader is no problem."

He Yuzhu looked at the third uncle and said.

"Yu Li's matter isn't a big problem, but Second Master's matter is a bit troublesome."

When the second uncle heard He Yuzhu say this, he immediately spoke.

"It's okay, it's okay. As long as Director He is willing to help put in a good word, I will be very grateful. Where do I sign?"

The second and third uncles are already impatiently waiting for the signature.

He Yuzhu asked Ran Qiuye to write a guarantee agreement, and the second and third uncles couldn't wait to sign it.

He Yuzhu walked up to the old man with the guarantee agreement.

"Sign it, you're the only one left."

Yi Zhonghai saw the names of Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui signed on the agreement, and reluctantly signed his own name as well.

A guarantee agreement was born.

The three uncles had no idea how much trouble this guarantee agreement would bring them many years later.
