Siheyuan: Wang Bo's Happy Life

The next day, the content of Wang Bo's discussion became a hot topic in the courtyard.

Originally, the neighbors were very sympathetic to the Jia family's plight, but when they learned that they had received so much compensation, they immediately lost their sympathy, and instead, a sour tone was revealed in their words and deeds.

Look, a group of middle-aged women and young wives in the front yard are chatting again.

“I didn’t expect that the steel mill would pay so much after Jia Dongxu died.”

"That's right, good days are coming for Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu."

"I was thinking of helping out, but it seems I was overthinking it. Maybe I'll have to ask for alms in the future."

"If the father dies, the son will become rich. This is really true."

"Tell me, if our masters had an accident, would they also be compensated so much?"

"Don't talk nonsense, or your man will beat you up!"

The person they were chatting with was having a heated argument at home.

"Mom, you should go to work in the steel mill."

Qin Huairu sat on a chair and tried to persuade Jia Zhang earnestly.

"No! I'm already so old, do you want to tire me to death?"

Jia Zhang is lazy and fat. Asking her to work is more painful than killing her.

"But we can't just sit there and eat up all the money we have. Dongxu's pension may seem high, but if we don't have any income, it will be spent in three or four years at most. Will our whole family be left with nothing?"

"I don't care. You can't let me starve!"

Seeing Jia Zhang's unreasonable attitude, Qin Huairu also got angry.

"Since you don't want to go to work, and I can't go, then let's sell Dongxu's workstation. It can still fetch five or six hundred yuan."

Hearing Qin Huairu talking about selling the workstation, Jia Zhang was immediately furious, "You're talking nonsense, Dongxu's workstation belongs to Banggeng, and sooner or later Banggeng will take over, it can't be sold!"

"Then what do you think we should do? I'm pregnant, so I definitely won't be able to take over for the next two years. If you don't go, who knows who will take over this job after a while. How about I have an abortion and then go back to work!"

Hearing Qin Huairu say that she wanted to abort the child, Jia Zhang stood up, pointed at Qin Huairu with glaring eyes and shouted, "No! The child is the offspring of the Jia family, she must be born!"

"Then what do you say we should do?!"

Jia Zhang stood there panting for a long time before she said helplessly, "I'll go."

Qin Huairu finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Jia Zhang had compromised.

The two waited until the steel mill was off work, then went to Yi Zhonghai's house together and explained their ideas to Yi Zhonghai.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai pondered for a while and nodded in agreement.

"Sister-in-law Jia, I also think it's more appropriate for you to go to work now. You can work in the factory first, and then use your connections to ask for sick leave. Then you can stay at home and get half of your salary. When Huairu is fit, let her take over."

Hearing Yi Zhonghai say this, Jia Zhangshi was even happier. She asked with a shameless face, "Uncle, can you find me an easy job? I am so old, I will be a drag on you in the workshop."

Yi Zhonghai was very happy to hear Jia Zhang calling him "uncle". However, he was also very angry that Jia Zhang was still nitpicking. If he agreed to change her job, he didn't know how many favors he would have to do for her.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's unhappy expression, Qin Huairu quickly pretended to be pitiful, "Uncle, my mother has a leg disease and really can't do heavy work. Please be kind and help us. Our whole family will be grateful to you!"

Seeing the pitiful Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai had evil thoughts again, but he quickly suppressed the thought and said in a difficult manner: "I'll try my best."

After watching Qin Huairu leave, Yi Zhonghai calmed down his restless heart and thought to himself, I'm going to talk about my youthful passion tonight!

Yi Zhonghai was in high spirits, while Yan Bugui in the front yard was eating pickles and drinking at home.

The principal had a talk with him, and the topic was about his family education. He said that his way of educating children was wrong and had a bad influence on many students. Some parents have already approached the school and demanded that Yan Bugui be banned from teaching.

In the end, the principal decided to let him work in logistics for a while and come back after the storm passed.

I feel even more upset when I think of Yan Bugui. He is a people's teacher and considers himself knowledgeable. Why was he dismissed because of such a small matter?

The logistics salary is much lower than the teacher’s salary!

Yan Bugui felt even more heartbroken at the thought of the reduced salary. He looked at Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang who were doing their homework, and thought that he could only make up for the reduced salary by helping his son, but was there any title that could make them pay more in the future?

Well, I can discuss this with my wife tonight.

On the other side, Wang Bo just returned home and saw Yu Shui reading a book in his room.

Seeing Wang Bo coming back, Yu Shui was very happy. She put down the book and said with a smile, "Brother Xiaobo, you are back?"

Seeing Yu Shui staying here every day, Wang Bo felt a little strange. He couldn't help but ask, "Yu Shui, now that you are here, is there still a bad smell in the middle courtyard?"

"Yes, I feel sick as soon as I go in now."

She frowned when the rain was mentioned. It seemed that day was too exciting for her and she had a psychological trauma.

No matter where Wang Bo was, he would go to the small courtyard to sleep, and he didn't care.

"Okay, you sleep here tonight. I'll sleep in the factory duty room."

After Wang Bo finished speaking, he took out two taels of meat from the space courtyard with his hands behind his back, "Yushui, use this meat to stir-fry some vegetables and eat here tonight."

After taking the meat, Yu Shui said in surprise: "Xiao Bo, this is the second time you've eaten meat this month, you're amazing, it's hard to buy it anywhere else!"

"Hey, don't you look at who I am?"

Wang Bo responded casually, but he was thinking in his heart, I actually eat meat every day, but I just can't let you know.

Yu Shui looked at Wang Bo's stove, turned around and said, "Brother Xiao Bo, you don't have all the ingredients. I'll go home and fry them and bring them to you."

After saying this, Yu Shui excitedly went to Sha Zhu's house in the central courtyard.

Sha Zhu had just finished cooking and was about to call Yu Shui to eat when he saw Yu Shui coming in carrying some meat.

"Brother, cook some food!"

Sha Zhu looked at the meat that Yu Shui handed over and asked curiously, "Where did you get this from?"

"It's from Xiaobo."

When he heard that the meat belonged to Wang Bo, his face fell.

"No, you take the rain water back to him, and the middle courtyard has no smell anymore. Don't go to his house anymore in the future!"

Hearing Sha Zhu say this, Yu Shui was also unhappy, "You don't mind the stench of this yard, but I do. Brother Xiaobo goes to the duty room to sleep at night, so what's wrong with me staying at his place?"

After saying that, Yu Shui took matters into her own hands and made a dish of fried potatoes and pork slices.

Seeing his brother sulking there, Yu Shui served some food to Sha Zhu and said, "Don't worry, brother. I'll come back to live here after a few days when the food is completely gone."

Seeing Yu Shui leaving with the vegetables and steamed bread, Sha Zhu felt upset. How could the sister he raised since childhood be so close to someone he didn't get along with!
