Siheyuan: Wang Bo's Happy Life

Since leaving the Security Department, Liu Haizhong has experienced countless people looking at him with curiosity, contempt, and ridicule. His heart has also gone from being extremely ashamed to facing it calmly. The dozens of gazes in a mere courtyard were not enough to make him blink.

But when he saw Wang Bo by the pool, his eyes were immediately filled with hatred.

Wang Bo looked at Liu Haizhong and said mockingly, "Old Liu, if you are wrong, you must admit it. If you are beaten, you must stand at attention. It means you will not be promoted, and you will be fined. This has nothing to do with us. We are just waiting to read your 8,000-word self-criticism letter, so that we can have fun."

Hearing Wang Bo's sarcasm and the suppressed laughter of the people around him, Liu Haizhong finally couldn't help but change his expression.

"Wang Bo, just wait, sooner or later you will fall into my hands!"

Liu Haizhong said something harsh and strode back to the backyard angrily.

Seeing the protagonist leave, the group of flies turned into ducks and quacked.

夜里，刘海忠家，刘光天和刘光福被气急的刘海忠找碴狠狠揍了一顿，就连备受宠爱的刘光齐也挨了几皮带。

The second aunt, who was sitting beside the bed, cried, "We saved up two hundred yuan with great difficulty, and borrowed another two hundred from Lao Yi. Now it's all gone in a flash."

Liu Haizhong beat his sons for a long time, finally venting his anger. He sat on the other side and comforted them, "It's gone, at least your job is saved. If I didn't spend money to find someone, I would not only lose my job, but also be imprisoned for a few years."

The second aunt sobbed a few more times, then said bitterly: "It's all Wang Bo's fault. He is so nosy. Who would check your bag normally? We have checked it so many times and nothing happened. Now our family has lost this income."

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong quickly stopped the second aunt and said, "Don't talk nonsense. When has our family ever taken anything from the factory? Do you want me to die?"

The second aunt was shocked after hearing this and quickly shut her mouth. Only Liu Haizhong was left there muttering fiercely, "Wang Bo, Wang Bo..."

The next day, Wang Bo and his friend were on patrol, and Ding Peng started talking to them again: "Wang Bo, you were right yesterday. I went home last night and told my dad about this. My dad said that the security guards don't have much money, but those in the logistics department, the transport team, the kitchen, and the workshop have many ways to take advantage of them, and they are much more ruthless than us, but they are just hiding it tightly."

Wang Bo sighed, "Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. Take what is yours, as long as you don't do anything bad."

"That's what my dad said."

Just like that, Wang Bo lived an ordinary life again. He wandered around the factory during work, went home to rest after get off work, and occasionally went to the black market to sell grain and vegetables.

On the way home from work that day, Wang Bo passed by a large courtyard and heard a commotion coming from inside. He walked in and asked someone what was going on.

When the man saw Wang Bo wearing the security uniform of the steel rolling mill, he quickly told him that Old Mrs. Zhang in their compound had passed away. She had always lived alone and had no relatives, and the whole compound was preparing to hold a funeral for her together.

After hearing this, Wang Bo nodded, felt that it had nothing to do with him, and turned around and walked home.

After returning to the courtyard, Wang Bo, who was fetching water in the middle courtyard, saw the deaf old lady. The old woman was muttering something in a low voice at the information exchange station and laughing from time to time.

Seeing her so happy, Wang Bo wanted to make her even happier, so he pretended to say casually, "Auntie, do you know that an old lady in Courtyard No. 80 of our street passed away?"

After hearing this, the auntie asked curiously: "Really? I haven't heard of this. What's going on?"

Hearing that someone had died, everyone fell silent and looked at Wang Bo, waiting for his next words.

"Alas." Wang Bo sighed first, "The old lady was alone, with no one to take care of her. Who knows what happened, she just passed away like that. Their compound is working together to arrange her funeral."

Hearing this, the deaf old lady's expression changed instantly, and her whole face fell, and the aunt who was affected also had a dark face.

"Hey," Wang Bo raised his voice again, "By the way, the old lady's surname is Zhang, the same as yours, Jia Zhang."

Jia Zhang was just thinking about something. When she heard Wang Bo say that the old lady had the same surname as her, she seemed to have made some decision and walked out holding the stick.

Watching Jia Zhang striding out, Wang Bo wondered if this old woman would get involved.

Wang Bo was right. After hearing that an old lady who was left unattended had passed away, Jia Zhang thought of taking advantage of the family. When she heard Wang Bo say that the old lady had the same surname as her, she became more thoughtful.

She held Bang Geng in her arms and said to him as they walked: "My dear grandson, when you see grandma crying, you should cry loudly. Do you understand?"

Seeing her grandma so serious, Bang Geng nodded and said seriously, "If grandma cries, I cry too!"

"Well, you are worthy of being grandma's good grandson!"

When Jia Zhang arrived at the No. 80 compound and saw how lively it was, she started howling loudly outside the gate:

"Oh my sister, I'm late!"

After howling, Jia Zhang held Jia Geng in one hand, covered her face with the other, and rushed in with a sobbing voice.

"My sister, why did you leave like this? Why didn't you wait for your sister?"

Everyone in the yard looked at Jia Zhang who was crying, and no one dared to stop her. So Jia Zhang went straight to the home of the deceased old lady Zhang.

Looking at the person lying on the bed covered from head to toe with a quilt, Jia Zhang knew that she had made the right decision.

She rushed over, lay down beside the bed, lowered her head and cried, "My sister, I'm sorry, I'm late!"

Jia Zhang was crying loudly, and Bang Geng realized that it was time for him to take action, so he also opened his mouth and burst into tears.

The man in charge of the courtyard was wondering what was going on and where did this person come from?

They quickly directed several middle-aged women to pull Jia Zhang out from the bed.

The head of the compound hurriedly asked Jia Zhang's name, where she came from, and what her relationship with Old Madam Zhang was.

Jia Zhang just said it casually, to sum it up:

My name is Zhang Cuihua and I live in Zhangjia Village outside the city.

The deceased was my eldest cousin, with whom I had not seen for more than 30 years.

I just found my sister today, but she is separated from me by a human and a ghost.

My sister was poor and lonely, but fortunately she had neighbors to take care of her.

The road is long and the money is short, so I can only repay your kindness in the next life.

Jia Zhang didn't say a single word of truth, but she told a lot of lies, and she didn't even blush when she told lies, which confused the manager.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find some errors.

When asked again, Jia Zhang lay on the edge of the bed and cried, and cried with Bang Geng, cursing as she cried, saying that there were no good people in this compound, and that she wanted to drive her own sister out even though she had come. She wanted her sister to come back and take everyone in the compound away!

Finally, the old man in charge realized that this was an old rogue who brought his grandson with him to make the whole family rich.

It's the same for them. This old lady has no descendants, so the neighbors in the compound have to deal with all the things she left behind.

The steward looked at Jia Zhang who was still howling and said impatiently, "Alright, I'll give you another pair of chopsticks when we eat. You can leave after you finish eating."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she stood up and shouted at the steward, "Why are you kicking me out? This is my sister's home. When my sister dies, it will be mine!"
