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

Seeing that Sha Zhu had listened to him, Yi Zhonghai was secretly delighted and thought the time had come. He took the opportunity to make a further request: "Zhu Zi, how about this? I will collect your salary for you in the future, and you can ask me for money when you need it. How about that?"

The reason why Yi Zhonghai made this suggestion was because he knew very well that Sha Zhu had no resistance in front of Qin Huairu.

As long as Qin Huairu said a few nice words and gently stroked Sha Zhu's hand, Sha Zhu would obediently hand over the money in his pocket.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai believes that he must keep Sha Zhu's salary in his hands to prevent Sha Zhu from being cheated of his money by Qin Huairu.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai already regarded Sha Zhu's money as his own, so naturally he would not let anyone else covet it.

However, when Sha Zhu heard this suggestion, he felt very resistant.

After all, he is already an adult in his twenties, and it is really inappropriate for him to let others collect his salary for him.

What's more, Yi Zhonghai is just an outsider, not a close person.

Sha Zhu thought, this kind of thing is simply nonsense, how could he agree to it?

Yi Zhonghai never expected that Sha Zhu, who was usually so respectful and polite to him, would reject him so bluntly.

This made him feel very embarrassed and humiliated. He originally thought that he had a close relationship with Sha Zhu and could easily control the situation, but now it seems that this is not the case.

In desperation, Yi Zhonghai had to resort to moral blackmail again to try to persuade Sha Zhu to accept his proposal.

But Yi Zhonghai didn't expect that Sha Zhu's IQ was online except when he was facing Qin Huairu. He just lay on the bed, watching Yi Zhonghai there, giving him ideological education incessantly.

Yi Zhonghai talked until his throat was about to smoke. He looked down and found that Sha Zhu had fallen asleep. He was immediately furious and yelled at Sha Zhu.

"Zhu Zi, what's wrong with you? I was teaching you, but you fell asleep. Do you have a respect for me, your uncle?"

Before Sha Zhu could reply, a nurse came over and said to Yi Zhonghai.

"Why are you yelling? Don't you know this is a hospital? If you want to yell, go home."

Yi Zhonghai also reacted at this time and hurriedly apologized to the nurse.

The nurse left without responding.

Only then did Sha Zhu speak without hesitation.

"Uncle, you are old, can you be quiet? I am still injured, please let me have a good rest."

Yi Zhonghai saw that Sha Zhu had returned to his nonchalant look and could only speak in a low voice helplessly.

"Zhu Zi, how can you talk like that? I never stopped you from having a good rest. I'm doing this for your own good. Think about it, you put the money with me, you can come and get it whenever you want, and it won't bother you at all.

And you won’t be targeted by others. With your kind heart, I’m worried that others will take your money with just a few nice words. What will you do then? Will you starve to death?

Don't forget, you still have a younger sister. Although Zhou Jin is taking care of Yu Shui now, can you really throw away your pride and let others raise your sister? Don't forget that he is your enemy. Are you still a man in our city if you do this? Think about it carefully.

I'll leave first. I've already paid the medical bills. Here are the medicines. Remember to take them with you after the infusion. Come to me when you've thought it through."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he didn't care about Sha Zhu's reaction and went straight out of the ward and back to the courtyard. He still had to return the bicycle.

After seeing Yi Zhonghai leave, Sha Zhu was also thinking about what Yi Zhonghai said, thinking about the money and grain Qin Huairu had borrowed from here over the years, and his sister's life over the years.

Suddenly I felt like a failure. As a cook, my sister was skinny and now she was supported by her enemies, and she had almost no communication with me.

I used to earn 37.5 yuan a month, and I ate and drank in the cafeteria, so I didn't have much money to spend. But now there is only 20 yuan left at home, and this is the money I had to save my life after an hour of ideological struggle.

The rest of the money was borrowed by Qin Huairu for various reasons, and the key point is that it was never returned. I didn't get much benefit from it, at most my hand was touched.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt like I was being taken advantage of. With so much money, I could have married so many young girls, but now, I have to give all the money to other people's wives. The key point is that I haven't gained anything from it.

It seems that I have to think about it carefully. As for asking Yi Zhonghai to help him collect his salary, Sha Zhu has never considered it.

No matter how good Yi Zhonghai was to him, he was just an outsider after all, and he was also an adult, a pure old city man. How could he let others help him collect his salary? If Xu Damao knew about this, it would be spread everywhere and ruin his reputation.

On the other side, Yi Zhonghai rode his bike back to the courtyard. Zhou Jin did not go to the steel mill today, so he returned the bike to Zhou Jin, thanked him and left. He rushed to the steel mill. After all, if he rushed there now, it would not be considered as asking for leave or being late with his qualifications.

Zhou Jin didn't care much. He took the bicycle and took Zhou Xin to Grandpa Jin's house. He would go to see Long Yi in the afternoon.

Long Yi's work efficiency is indeed high. He released them yesterday afternoon, and the two courtyards were settled in the evening. He has just taken the homeowners to the Housing Management Office to complete the transfer of ownership.

Although private buying and selling of houses is not allowed now, there are countermeasures to every policy. These two courtyards are private houses, and the owners are the descendants of the Qing Dynasty. No factory will hire such people, so they can only live off their savings. Now that food is in short supply, they can only sell their houses to save their lives.

Long Yi spent 500 yuan, 2,000 kilograms of cornmeal and 100 kilograms of pork on a yard, and then signed a five-year loan contract with the homeowner, borrowing a total of 1,000 yuan and mortgaging the house when the loan was due.

In this way, the two courtyards were taken care of. Of course, Long Yi disguised himself when he went to the other house, otherwise he would be recognized and it might cause more trouble.

Now, one of the two courtyards is under the name of Long San, and the other is under the name of Long Er, so naturally they belong to Zhou Jin.

After Zhou Jin brought Zhou Xin to her grandfather's house, he handed Zhou Xin to her grandmother and taught her to read and write. He drank tea, chatted, and played chess with his grandfather. Those days were very pleasant.

On the other side, Sha Zhu walked slowly towards the courtyard with his broken body after receiving an IV drip in the hospital. Although he had taken medicine, received an IV drip and had a full stomach, the piercing pain was real and Sha Zhu could only walk slowly.

In this way, Sha Zhu took a full hour to walk a distance that was supposed to take more than 20 minutes. It was fortunate that it was not too hot at that time, otherwise, with Sha Zhu's condition, he would have gotten heatstroke and fainted.

Sha Zhu slowly walked to the central courtyard. Qin Huairu just came out of the house. When she saw Sha Zhu coming back, she hurried forward to ask.

She heard that something happened to Sha Zhu in the morning, but she didn't know the details, so now that she met him she had to ask clearly. Of course, what Qin Huairu was most concerned about was whether Sha Zhu had got the food she wanted.

As for how Sha Zhu was injured, I'm sorry, that has nothing to do with Qin Huairu. To Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu is just a bootlicker and a supporter of her own secret fund. It has nothing to do with her what happens to him, as long as he's not dead.

However, Qin Huairu would never show these thoughts. She is a top-notch white lotus and it is easy for her to control men.

So he quickly put on a concerned and anxious look and went forward to ask.

"Zhu Zi, what happened to you? I heard the third uncle shouting in the yard this morning that you were in trouble, and then the first uncle took you to the hospital. I was going to go see you, but I was really busy at home. You won't blame me, right?"

Sha Zhu was so happy to see Qin Huairu caring about him so much that his servile attitude was immediately revealed.

"Sister Qin, how could I blame you? It must be very hard for you to take care of such a big family by yourself. I'm fine now."

"I'm glad you don't blame me, Zhuzi. What happened to your injuries? Why are they so serious?"

Sha Zhu looked around and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he took Qin Huairu's hand and walked towards his home.

"Sister Qin, this is not convenient to talk about outside. Come with me to my house and I will explain it to you in detail."

Qin Huairu felt unhappy when she saw Sha Zhu actually reached out and held her hand, but in order to get food, she had to endure it temporarily and followed Sha Zhu to his home.

After arriving home, Sha Zhu reluctantly let go of Qin Huairu's hand, and asked her to sit down and listen to him slowly.

When Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu sitting down, he closed the door, then sat on the bed and leaned against the wall.

He started talking about what had happened from last night to this morning, of course he did not mention the conversation with Yi Zhonghai in the hospital.

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he thought that he had taken risks alone to buy food for Qin Huairu at the black market, and that he would eventually be robbed and beaten all over. This would move Qin Huairu so much that she would hug him and cry, thanking him for his efforts.

But the reality is, when Qin Huairu heard that the food that Sha Zhu bought on the black market and the remaining money were all stolen, she didn't want to listen any more.

I kept cursing this idiot Zhu in my heart, what a waste he was, he couldn't even figure out how to buy food, not to mention that the food and money were robbed and he was beaten up like this.

So Qin Huairu put on that pitiful look again and said to Sha Zhu.

"Zhu Zi, I didn't expect you to do so much for me. Thank you so much. You are so injured now. You must need nutrition. I will go buy a chicken now and stew it for you. You should stay at home and take care of your injuries. I will leave first."

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she opened the door and went home without waiting for Sha Zhu to react.

If Qin Huairu said that she would buy a chicken for Sha Zhu to nourish his body, no one would believe it except Sha Zhu. Qin Huairu was just making an excuse to leave. By saying this, she could not only leave Sha Zhu's house, but also further increase her favorability in Sha Zhu's heart.

As for the chicken, he definitely wouldn't buy it. Even if Shazhu came to ask, he would just say that the chicken was bought and stewed, but was eaten by Banggeng.

In this way, the problem is perfectly solved, and he gains both fame and fortune. Anyway, it is impossible for Sha Zhu to argue with a child, not to mention that Sha Zhu likes jokes so much.

However, at this time, when Sha Zhu heard that his sister Qin was going to buy a chicken to nourish his body, he suddenly felt a sense of happiness. Moreover, he had taken the initiative to hold sister Qin's hand just now, and she did not resist.

This shows that Sister Qin has her own feelings for her and is very good to her. Sha Zhu suddenly felt that his thoughts about Sister Qin when he was in the hospital were too stupid.

Sister Qin wanted to make chicken soup for herself to nourish her body, but she was thinking about drawing a clear line between herself and her. This was really wrong. Thinking of this, Sha Zhu wanted to slap himself twice, but it hurt too much, so he gave up the idea.

At the same time, he simply forgot about the decision he made in the hospital. Sister Qin was so good to him, and he definitely couldn't join forces with an old man to plot against them.

However, Sha Zhu was not exactly the same as before. He knew how difficult his life would be if he had no money, so he had to save more money so that he could help Sister Qin when the time comes.

Therefore, Sha Zhu decided that he would still collect his own salary, but he would save ten dollars every month and give five dollars to Yu Shui. The remaining money would be enough for his own living and to help Sister Qin from time to time. This would be perfect.

Because his body was still in pain, Sha Zhu lay down and went to sleep as soon as he saw Qin Huairu leave. He had eaten a lot in the morning anyway, so he could make it until the evening, and by then he should be able to move normally.

As for what Yi Zhonghai said about collecting his salary on his behalf, Sha Zhu completely threw it out of his mind. Now in Sha Zhu's mind, Qin Huairu was first, and he was second, and there seemed to be no third.

Oh, if Sha Zhu remembered that he had a biological sister, then He Yushui would be ranked third. If he didn't remember, then she would be just a relative. Of course, since Sha Zhu was fascinated by Qin Huairu, He Yushui was basically just a relative.

As for Yi Zhonghai, if Qin Huairu was not involved, Sha Zhu could rank him third, after all, he helped Sha Zhu a lot.
