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

With the departure of Director Wang and Zhou Jin, others also went home one after another. Although it was fun to watch the excitement, the temperature in the city was very low and it was still unbearable to stand outside for a long time.

Not long after, two staff members from the street office came and took Jia Dongxu away. Yi Zhonghai was sitting by the window at the time, but he didn't dare to go out again.

For Yi Zhonghai, today is really like Good Friday. He feels that everything he has worked hard for over the years has collapsed in an instant, and he is left with nothing.

I failed to help the Jia family get the donation this time, and I had to return all the donations from previous years. Given the ungrateful nature of those people in the Jia family, they will definitely scold me behind my back, calling me useless and a waste.

The arrest of Jia Zhang didn't matter to Yi Zhonghai, but the arrest of Jia Dongxu had already touched upon Yi Zhonghai's core interests, especially the last incident before Director Wang left.

This directly caused a rift in the relationship between himself and Jia Dongxu. If he didn't find a way to get him out, it would be a pipe dream for Jia Dongxu to support him in his old age.

Originally, with Sha Zhu as a backup, Jia Dongxu would be useless if he became incompetent. But now it seems that Sha Zhu is not reliable at all. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't go to sweep the toilet.

But apart from these two people, the only suitable people left in the courtyard are Zhou Jin and Xu Damao. However, the conflicts between these two people and himself are so deep that they can hardly coexist.

Now Yi Zhonghai has regretted why he didn't prepare a few more backup plans. If he didn't harm Xu Damao, that would have been an option too.

What's more, Zhou Jin is already a cadre at a young age, has good cooking skills and strong abilities. If he had not been so cruel at the beginning, he would probably still have a chance to provide for himself in his old age.

Unfortunately, these are just my fantasies. Now I can only think of a way to rescue Jia Dongxu. As for the rest, I can just fix them slowly later.

The two most important things to Yi Zhonghai are retirement and reputation.

Yi Zhonghai regretted it deeply, his heart was filled with remorse and unwillingness.

However, it was too late. His retirement problems had become serious, and his reputation was in tatters.

He had helped the Jia family, deceived all the residents in the hospital, and violated regulations many times to organize donations for the Jia family. These actions could have been covered up in the past, but now they have been exposed, causing public outrage.

As the person who was primarily responsible, Yi Zhonghai not only lost his position as the manager, but was also punished by the street office to clean toilets. This was undoubtedly a great humiliation for him, and he felt ashamed.

Worse still, all the punishment results would be posted on the bulletin board, causing him to lose face and disgrace.

Not only that, the street office will also report the matter to the steel mill. By then, he will not only be infamous in the street, but also in the steel mill. He realized that his mistake would bring serious consequences to himself and might even affect his future life.

The worst thing is that this incident is likely to affect his work grade assessment.

Originally, with his current skills and the help of Director Yang, it was a foregone conclusion that he would become an eighth-level fitter in the factory next year. However, now all this was in jeopardy.

I just hope that the factory won’t punish me too severely, especially so as not to affect my work grade assessment.

At this point, Yi Zhonghai could only bury his head in the ground and wait for time to slowly dilute the impact of this incident. Then he would ask the deaf old lady for help.

Just when Yi Zhonghai was about to get up, wash his feet and go to bed, Qin Huairu walked in.

She started crying as soon as she came in. Her pitiful look made Yi Zhonghai start to have some other thoughts.

He also knew why Qin Huairu came.

He quickly asked Qin Huairu to sit down, and then he sat down opposite Qin Huairu.

"Huai Ru, I know why you are here. Don't worry, Dong Xu is my apprentice. I will definitely find a way to rescue him. The weather is so cold, you should go home and take care of the children."

"Well, thank you, Master. I knew you wouldn't ignore us. If you can rescue Dongxu, you will be our Jia family's great benefactor. We will definitely treat you and Auntie as our real parents in the future."

"Okay, okay, Huairu, don't worry, I'm here, everything will be fine."

After Qin Huairu got a positive answer from Yi Zhonghai, she got up and went home. She had two children at home who needed her care.

After Qin Huairu left, Yi Zhonghai also put on a cotton jacket and went to the backyard.

The old lady who was standing in the kitchen boiling water watched all this without saying a word, but just shook her head helplessly.

The happiest person in the entire courtyard today must be Xu Damao. After all, this group of people have never found anything good from Zhou Jin, so naturally they don't feel anything.

But it was different for Xu Damao. Ever since Xu Fugui left the courtyard and left him alone here, Yi Zhonghai started to target him.

Every time he had a conflict with Sha Zhu, Xu Damao was always the one who suffered the bad luck. Moreover, Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady secretly spread rumors to ruin Xu Damao's reputation.

So in Xu Damao's heart, the people he hated the most were Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady, and the second was Sha Zhu.

Now, at a donation meeting, Yi Zhonghai's uncle was removed from his post and was also fined to sweep toilets for three months. Sha Zhu was also fined to sweep the streets. The key point was that he was the one who called Director Wang.

After all this, it was equivalent to Xu Damao himself getting rid of Yi Zhonghai's uncle, and also causing Sha Zhu to be punished.

You say that this makes a person who has been oppressed for a long time suddenly stand up and sing like a serf, and push down the mountains that are pressing on him.

How could Xu Damao not be excited? Even though the deaf old lady was not involved this time, Xu Damao knew that given the relationship between himself, Zhou Jin and Yi Zhonghai.

It was only a matter of time before a conflict occurred. As long as he held on to Zhou Jin's thigh tightly, it would not be difficult to deal with Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady, Sha Zhu and the others.

After Liu Haizhong returned home, he became angrier and angrier. He felt that he had been cheated by Yi Zhonghai. However, Yi Zhonghai's ending was much worse than his own, so he was too embarrassed to go to his house to ask for compensation.

He felt that he could not calm down his anger, and if he did not vent it, it might affect his mood and efficiency at work tomorrow.

Therefore, he decided to release his inner anger in a special way - pulling out the seven wolves from his waist.

As the seven wolves were waving in the air, making "pa pa" sounds, waves of heart-wrenching, ghostly cries for help immediately came from the Liu family.

These sounds are full of pain and fear, which makes people feel pity.

However, the others in the yard chose to turn a deaf ear, as if nothing had happened. They were already used to this situation and knew that it was just a common occurrence in the Liu family.

Because Zhou Jin lived in the backyard, not far from Liu Haizhong's home, he could hear the movements of the Liu family very clearly.

He secretly lamented in his heart why the two sons of the Liu family emptied the family when they grew up and never came back.

All of this was forced by Liu Haizhong! People were curious. Liu Haizhong only beat and scolded his two younger sons, and treated his eldest son as a treasure. Why did Liu Guangqi run away without telling Liu Haizhong once he found a wife? Moreover, he never came back after he left.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Liu Haizhong beating his son was only physical pain for the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, but for Liu Guangqi it was a deep trauma in his heart.

They are brothers and have grown up together, so it is impossible that they don't have any brotherly love. Seeing his younger brother being beaten, Liu Guangqi naturally felt bad.

He himself had never been treated like this before. As they were both his biological sons, he couldn't help but worry that his two younger brothers would hate him for such unfair treatment.

As a teacher, Yan Bugui certainly would not beat his children when he returned home, but the pain in his heart was real.

Although he has received back all the donated money, the donation was not completed smoothly, causing him to lose the 10% dividend. He will also not be able to organize donation activities again in the future, which undoubtedly caused him to lose income.

What's worse is that his original status as the "third uncle" has now been downgraded to temporary, and he will lack the confidence to take advantage in the future.

However, today Yan Bugui also realized that Zhou Jin was indeed an extraordinary person. He exposed Yi Zhonghai's true colors with just a few words.

It seems that I have to change my strategy and try to please Zhou Jin more. He is the deputy chief of the purchasing department, has a high salary, and can get me supplies. If I have a good relationship with him, any money he gives me in the future will be enough for my family to eat.

One person is forgotten here. Besides Yi Zhonghai, the one who suffered the most was Sha Zhu. Although he took action to help Yi Zhonghai, his ultimate goal was to donate more money to the Jia family.

In this way, it can be said that Sha Zhu was so angry that he risked his life for the beauty he loved, just to make Sister Qin smile. As a result, he was not strong enough and was knocked away again. The key point was that his little pillar was also seriously injured.

But when Sha Zhu fell to the ground, he hoped to see Sister Qin running out to help him up, and then whispering to him with concern and comfort.

But the result is that Qin Huairu didn't focus her attention on Sha Zhu at all. The original Sha Zhu could not only bring lunch boxes to the Jia family, but also use force to help the Jia family solve many problems.

But now, Sha Zhu is useless except for carrying a lunch box. Naturally, in Qin Huairu's eyes, his status has dropped several levels.

So Sha Zhu not only got beaten for nothing today, but was also charged with the crime of forcing others to donate money by force. The key point is that he also had to be fined and sweep the streets.

This made Sha Zhu, who always regarded himself as a real man in the city, feel a little embarrassed. Sha Zhu knew that he had offended many people, and he would definitely be humiliated by them when he swept the streets this time, especially Xu Damao.

The deaf old lady was also at Sha Zhu's home in the middle courtyard. After she brought Sha Zhu home, she had not returned to the backyard yet. She was very concerned about the injuries on Sha Zhu's body.

Although she was a little disappointed with Sha Zhu, she changed her mind and realized that her retirement was taken care of by Yi Zhonghai, and all Sha Zhu needed to do was make some delicious food for her from time to time.

What happened just now is not that important, and his intention was good, but he was just brainless.

The deaf old lady looked at Sha Zhu who had recovered a little, and said to comfort him: "Zhu Zi, are you feeling better?"

"Grandma, I'm fine. I just wasn't in good shape today. Otherwise, the one who fell to the ground would definitely be Zhou Jin. Wait until I recover from my injuries, and then you'll see how I deal with him."

The deaf old lady shook her head, knowing that this idiot was soft in every way except talking. He was always beaten away by Zhou Jin, but he still had to go forward to get beaten.

But today, the deaf old lady is not going to give Sha Zhu any face anymore. She must let him know the gap between him and Zhou Jin, otherwise he will suffer in the future.

"My dear grandson, you must not be so impulsive in the future. Tell me, have you ever defeated Zhou Jin in so many times? Have you ever been beaten by Zhou Jin in one blow?

I was planning to give you some face, but you only care about the food and not the fight. You knew you couldn't win, but you still went ahead. Do you really think you are lucky, or do you think Zhou Jin doesn't dare to kill you?

Haven't you noticed that Zhou Jin's attacks on you are getting more and more ruthless each time? It's obvious that he has no patience with you anymore. I guess if you do it again, you may have to lie in the hospital for the rest of your life.

But you are still being stubborn. Don't think that you are invincible just because you have learned wrestling for a few years. I tell you, you will never be Zhou Jin's opponent in your life. I will tell you this once. If you dare to provoke Zhou Jin again, I will not care whether you live or die. "

Seeing that the deaf old lady seemed really angry, Sha Zhu quickly put away his carefree attitude and immediately acted like a good boy.

"Grandma, I know I was wrong, I know I can't beat him, but I just can't swallow this anger, you see, he has been lawless since he returned to the courtyard.

Every day, she is either disrespectful to the uncle or bullying Sister Qin..."

As soon as Sha Zhu mentioned Qin Huairu, the deaf old lady interrupted him.

"I was planning to talk about Qin Huairu, now that you mentioned it, I'll talk to you about it.

Look at you, you are a chef in the canteen of a steel rolling mill, you earn more than 30 yuan a month, you have two rooms in your house, which are the main rooms of a courtyard house, and you don’t have any burden. The rain is getting heavier now, so you can get married in a few years.

You said you have such good conditions, you can find any wife, why do you have to keep your eyes on Qin Huairu? Jia Dongxu is not dead yet, and you spent money and effort on Qin Huairu, but you were knocked to the ground, and she didn't even look at you. Are you still not giving up?"

Listening to what the deaf old lady said to him, although it was unpleasant to hear, Sha Zhu knew that it was all true and was for his own good.

However, when Qin Huairu married into the courtyard, Sha Zhu was in adolescence and had no contact with any pretty girls. All the people of the same age in the courtyard were boys. When he was learning to cook, the kitchen was full of middle-aged women.

So when Sha Zhu saw such a beautiful woman like Qin Huairu for the first time, it left an indelible mark in his heart.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Sha Zhu had the desire but not the courage to do evil to Qin Huairu. Everything he did was to get close to Qin Huairu, and it would be best if he could take advantage of her.

As for getting married, Sha Zhu still wants to marry a virgin girl, and his requirements are not low.
