Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

To be honest, Sha Zhu's heart was already a little shaken, and he was somewhat tempted by the conditions offered by the deaf old lady.

Although Sha Zhu was not willing to provide care and support for an elderly person who was not related to him by blood, no, it seemed that most people were unwilling to do so, but the conditions offered by the deaf old lady were too tempting.

In addition, the deaf old lady had always been very caring towards him and helped him solve many problems.

So Sha Zhu thought about it carefully and felt that taking care of the deaf old lady until her death seemed to have only benefits and no disadvantages for him.

After all, as a five-guarantee household, the deaf old lady receives living allowances and material rations from the state every month, and their food rations have not been reduced so far.

In this way, I only need to help her cook, wash clothes, and chat with her when I have nothing to do, and I don’t have to worry about other things.

And even if the deaf old lady really becomes too sick to move in the future, I will definitely be married and have a family by then, and my wife can take care of her, and I, a grown man, won't have to do it at all.

After careful consideration, Sha Zhu finally made up his mind to accept the deaf old lady's request.

This decision is undoubtedly an important opportunity for him and may even change his destiny.

Sha Zhu has always believed that his cooking skills have reached level six, but the leaders of the canteen and logistics department have never given him the opportunity to take the exam, which makes him very distressed and puzzled.

However, if he could pass the Level 6 chef qualification within a year as the deaf old lady said, his position in the steel mill would become indestructible.

Sha Zhu knew very well that although the highest level of chefs in factory canteens was level six, in reality, almost no chefs working in factory canteens could reach this level.

Therefore, once he was successfully promoted to a level six chef, it would be like owning a golden signboard of the steel mill, and he could do whatever he wanted in the factory.

Even when facing someone like Zhou Jin, he would be more confident.

Unfortunately, Sha Zhu didn't know that Zhou Jin was responsible for supplying all the food for the steel mill, otherwise he might have reconsidered his thoughts.

In his opinion, if he became a level six chef, it would be obvious who was better than Zhou Jin.

After all, anyone can be a purchasing agent, but it is not easy to find a level 6 chef.

At this time, Sha Zhu had already begun to imagine how to deal with Zhou Jin after he successfully upgraded. It would be best to drive him out of the steel mill and then out of the courtyard.

In addition to this level 6 chef that made Shazhu excited, the second thing that made him excited was the house.

The deaf old lady now lives in the two best rooms in the backyard. Once she dies, these will belong to Shazhu.

By then, he not only owned the main house of the entire courtyard, but also the east wing and the two best rooms in the backyard.

By this calculation, Sha Zhu can occupy six houses in the entire courtyard alone, and they are all the best houses in the entire courtyard.

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu couldn't help but get excited and secretly delighted in his heart.

Finally, the two reached a cooperation. The deaf old lady gave her food book to Sha Zhu and promised that after his punishment period was over, he would be restored to a level eight chef and upgraded to a level six chef within a year.

And when the deaf old lady died, the house she left behind and everything in it were left to Sha Zhu.

And Sha Zhu only needs to take care of the deaf old lady until the end of her life, and go to her to burn incense and sweep her grave on the first day of Qingming Festival.

The two people in the backyard had a comfortable meal and reached a win-win cooperation. Qin Huairu in the middle courtyard stood by the pool for a long time but still did not see the figure of Sha Zhu.

Even Zhou Jin who was passing by couldn't help but wonder how many clothes the Jia family had. Even if he was just pretending to wait for Sha Zhu, the fact that he was carrying a basin of clothes by the sink every day showed that the Jia family was indeed wealthy.

However, Zhou Jin didn't want to stay in the middle courtyard any longer, so he took Xinxin back to the backyard.

When passing by the deaf old lady's house, Zhou Jin vaguely heard Sha Zhu's voice, and his tone seemed quite happy. It seemed that the deaf old lady had been discharged from the hospital.

Zhou Jin didn't pay much attention to it. After all, Xinxin was still hungry, so he had to go home quickly to cook for her.

After dinner, Zhou Jin lay on the bed, and the images of Sha Zhu and the deaf old lady appeared in his mind again.

The two of them were chatting so happily at this time, they were definitely not talking about Yi Zhonghai.

Although Yi Zhonghai is very important to the deaf old lady, he is now dying and has no hope of living.

What's more, Sha Zhu was the one who was badly harmed by Yi Zhonghai, so it was absolutely impossible for them to discuss Yi Zhonghai again.

After all, Yi Zhonghai's status in their hearts is now completely different. If they were really talking about Yi Zhonghai, the atmosphere would definitely not be so harmonious.

So apart from Yi Zhonghai, what else could the deaf old lady and Sha Zhu have to talk about so happily? This is really hard to figure out.

Suddenly, Zhou Jin had an idea. What was the most important thing to the deaf old lady? It was naturally her retirement. The original old lady, Yi Zhonghai, was gone, and in order to make a living, she would have to remarry.

As a result, the deaf old lady had no one to take care of her, and she had offended many people in the entire courtyard. Apart from Sha Zhu, Zhou Jin could not think of anyone else who was really willing to take care of her in her old age.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jin couldn't help but laugh secretly. You are still thinking about retirement at this time. I am worried that you may not have that life.

So Zhou Jin laughed secretly a few times and fell asleep.

In the next few days, the courtyard and the steel mill were relatively quiet. Yi Zhonghai was still paraded through the streets every morning and locked up in the detention center in the afternoon. No one visited him anymore, and no one knew whether he was completely desperate.

The rain also came back. Zhou Jin took her and the court's judgment to the housing management department, transferred all four houses of Yi Zhonghai and He Daqing to her name, and re-applied for new house deeds.

Yu Shui trusted Zhou Jin very much. After getting the new title deed, she directly gave it to Zhou Jin.

He Yushui knew that if she took the house deed home, Sha Zhu would definitely make trouble for her and ask her to transfer the house to Sha Zhu's name.

Although Yu Shui no longer has any illusions about Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu is her biological brother after all, and she is not yet at the point of separating from him.

Therefore, it is better to avoid such unnecessary conflicts if possible.

For this reason, Yu Shui did not return to the Siheyuan this weekend, but went to Grandpa Jin's place. She wanted to wait until this matter was over and everyone's attention was lessened before going back.

Zhou Jin also expressed his support for this. After all, he was about to take new action, and the Siheyuan could be said to be a place of controversy now.

It is already the third year of the Lunar New Year, which is a particularly important time. It is better to know less about these things.

Today is Monday. It is time for Zhou Jin to take action against the deaf old lady. It is also Yi Zhonghai’s last day in this world.

Today, after Zhou Jin sent Zhou Xin to school, he went to the steel mill. Long Er and others were responsible for dealing with the deaf old lady, so he had to go to the steel mill to handle his own work.

While Zhou Jin was still busy at the steel mill, the people arranged by Long Er had already started to act. Letters of complaint with information appeared at the same time in the guard rooms of the steel mill, the street office, the police station, the public security bureau, the district government and the Intermediate People's Court.

Originally, Zhou Jin and his team were planning to report the case to four places: the steel mill, the street office, the public security bureau, and the district government. However, the deaf old lady had connections in three of those places.

What if my luck is really that bad and these letters of complaint happen to be obtained by those people? Then all my efforts will be wasted.

After much discussion, they finally decided to add the court and police station. The more departments and the more people knew about it, the less likely it would be that the three people would choose to protect the deaf old lady.

At the same time, the propaganda team arranged by Long San has begun to act.

Just like the last time they promoted Yi Zhonghai, Long San and his friends made up a nursery rhyme for the deaf old lady.

【Rumour of Right and Wrong】

In that prosperous city,

There was an old lady who was hard of hearing.

She was once a remnant of the Qing dynasty,

The warlord's wife changes her clothes.

When the Japanese came, she bowed her head.

It is difficult to distinguish right from wrong.

After the founding of the country, my hands were stained with blood.

Those who pretend to be brave are not of right heart.

The wind was blowing hard in the courtyard.

He who oppresses the people is not a good person.

The deaf old lady couldn't hear clearly,

Good and evil will eventually be rewarded.

Children, remember this.

The most important thing is to distinguish right from wrong.

Stand firm with integrity and courage,

Be upright and have no guilt.

With the nursery rhymes and big-character posters, in just one morning, many people in Chaoyang District and Fengtai District were discussing the deaf old lady.

This time, Zhou Jin did not deliberately avoid Hongxing Street and the steel rolling mill, but chose to move in all directions, striving to spread the story of the deaf old lady throughout the city in the shortest possible time.

At the same time, Long Yi brought the elder sister he had found before, who was the deaf old lady's former maid, to the Hongxing Police Station to report the case.

The reason for reporting the case was that the deaf old lady had the Rising Sun Flag and the Blue Sky with a White Sun Flag hidden in her home, and that she and her warlord husband had both surrendered.

As for the murder, Zhou Jin asked her not to talk about it for the time being. After all, it was useless to rely on only one witness without any evidence, and it might even make the police think it was a false accusation.

Perhaps because of what happened with Yi Zhonghai some time ago, the Public Security Bureau and police station acted much faster this time.

Zhou Jin sent someone to deliver the report letter in the morning, and the police station sent people to the courtyard in the afternoon. This time the director led the team himself, and a total of four police officers came.

Just as they were about to enter the courtyard, two more cars arrived, from the Public Security Bureau and the Street Office.

The Public Security Bureau was led by Deputy Director Guo Tao, who was in charge of criminal investigation, and there were also four people.

The person who came from the Subdistrict Office was Deputy Director Tang, and he brought two people with him.

Director Wang had to attend a meeting at the district government today, and Deputy Director Tang happened to be on duty, so he came.

In fact, when Deputy Director Tang saw the letter of complaint, he was reluctant to come. He had a relationship with the deaf old lady, but he was not clear about her background.

If it is really as the report letter says, it is very likely to affect me.

Especially when the deaf old lady sees that I am not helping her, will she act like a suicide truck and drag herself down with her?

But there was no other way. Director Wang had gone to a meeting, and the other deputy director was also not in the street office due to something. He was the highest-ranking official in the street office at the time, so in the end he had no choice but to come.

The three parties greeted each other and went straight into the courtyard. Such a big scene scared the three aunts guarding the gate.
