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

"Uncle, you are right. I am already so old. I have considered my future, so I decided that I should collect my salary myself and deposit five dollars with you every month.

Then I give Yushui five dollars for living expenses every month. No matter how close she is to me, she is still my sister and the closest person to me in this world. How can I let someone else raise my sister?

I will hide the remaining money and will never give it to those people in the Jia family easily. After all, I am already in my twenties. If I always ask you for money like you said, it will not only be inconvenient, but also make me lose face.

If Xu Damao knew about this, he would definitely ruin my reputation outside. I'm still thinking about saving money to get married soon."

As soon as Sha Zhu said this, Yi Zhonghai was so happy that he smiled like a pig. His original unhappiness had long disappeared. He didn't expect Sha Zhu to be so sensible.

It seems that what the deaf old lady said was right. Sha Zhu is indeed the most suitable person for elderly care. Seeing that the problem was solved perfectly, Yi Zhonghai said to Sha Zhu with a happy face.

"Okay, Zhuzi, what you said makes sense. I really can't take on so much responsibility anymore. I need you to learn to grow up. I'll do as you say. It's getting late today, so go to bed early. Tomorrow I'll ask your aunt to stew a chicken for you to nourish you."

When Sha Zhu heard about stewed chicken, his heart immediately blossomed with joy. He coaxed Yi Zhonghai with just a few words, kept his salary, and even had stewed chicken to eat.

He showed a flattering smile on his face and quickly responded, "Okay, uncle, I'm almost recovered now and should be able to go to work tomorrow. I'd like to thank you for your kindness to me. I will never forget it."

Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

He felt that he had made the right choice this time. Although Sha Zhu was impulsive at times, he was still quite obedient. With a little guidance, he would definitely become a reliable person in the future.

"Well, it's good that you know it. In the future, you should listen to me more and don't be so impulsive all the time. Also, you should take care of your health and don't be too tired." Yi Zhonghai advised with concern.

"Don't worry, uncle, I remember it all! I will never forget how good you have been to me." Sha Zhu said with tears of gratitude.

"Okay, it's getting late. You should go to bed early. You have to go to work tomorrow." Yi Zhonghai waved his hand, indicating that Sha Zhu could go back to his room and sleep.

Sha Zhu nodded, then turned and went back to his room.

Lying on the bed, Sha Zhu was secretly glad for his performance just now. Not only did he keep his salary, but he also won the favor of Yi Zhonghai.

At the same time, he was also looking forward to tomorrow's stewed chicken. Thinking of the delicious chicken, Sha Zhu couldn't help swallowing.

"Okay, okay, go to bed early. I'm going back too."

Yi Zhonghai left Sha Zhu's house and returned to his own home with a happy face, and he was almost humming a song and dancing a few steps.

Sha Zhu also lay back on the bed contentedly, and he still had to continue to heal his injuries.

However, what Yi Zhonghai didn't know was that since he carried the food to Sha Zhu's house, Jia Dongxu had been watching the movements in Yi Zhonghai's house from behind the glass of Jia's house.

Originally, Jia Dongxu had not paid any attention to Sha Zhu since he did not bring a lunch box to his family. After all, why should he pay attention to someone who could not bring any benefits to his family? It was not like he had nothing better to do.

But during this period, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu both noticed the changes in Yi Zhonghai, and they always felt uneasy, so Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu paid more attention to Yi Zhonghai's movements.

Just now, he saw Yi Zhonghai quietly taking meat to feed the deaf old lady, and they stayed there for a long time. If Jia Dongxu hadn't been afraid of the deaf old lady, he would definitely have eavesdropped.

Then today, when Sha Zhu got into trouble, Yi Zhonghai helped send him to the hospital and helped pay the medical bills. Now he is personally delivering meals to him. There must be something going on here.

And looking at Yi Zhonghai's pig-like face, all the wrinkles on his face are squeezed together when he laughs. I would never believe that there is no PY transaction between him and Sha Zhu.

However, seeing Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu getting closer and closer, Jia Dongxu felt an indescribable sense of nervousness, as if something very important was slipping away from him.

Of course, Jia Dongxu couldn't think that far ahead, so he had to discuss it with Qin Huairu quickly. If something really happened and Yi Zhonghai didn't care about him, then he would be finished.

Jia Dongxu called Qin Huairu to the bed and told her what he had just seen.

"Huai Ru, I just saw Master carrying food to Sha Zhu's house. He stayed there for about ten minutes, and then left with a very happy face. I always feel that there is something wrong here, but I can't figure out what it is. Can you analyze it for me?"

"Dongxu! I feel like the old man has been acting weird these past few days!

Especially after he took the meat to the deaf old lady's house a few days ago, his attitude towards us changed completely when he came back.

I think there must be something going on here, maybe the deaf old lady said something to him.

Now the old man's attitude towards Shazhu has completely changed 180 degrees. I think it must be the deaf old lady who said something behind him.

The deaf old lady never liked our family and she was on the side of Sha Zhu!

I guess the old man was fed up with us asking him for money and food every other day, so he went to seek advice from the deaf old lady.

With that kind of personality, the deaf old lady would definitely take the opportunity to belittle our Jia family, and then let the eldest uncle treat Sha Zhu as his old age caregiver. That's why he just brought food to Sha Zhu.

But I think that uncle will not give up on us easily. After all, he has put a lot of effort and thought into us!

Given his personality, he must want to support Sha Zhu first and then suppress us so that we can develop a sense of crisis.

This will force us to choose to bow down to him and admit our mistakes, so that he can easily control us. In that case, he will have the final say in both our families in the future."

The more Jia Dongxu listened to Qin Huairu's analysis, the more she felt that this was the case. She could also sense that his attitude had been slowly changing since the previous times she went to Yi Zhonghai to ask for money and food.

Yi Zhonghai suddenly started to use the Thirty-Six Stratagems, which made Jia Dongxu a little overwhelmed. After all, Yi Zhonghai had grasped the Jia family's sore spot. The Jia family could show off their power in the Siheyuan because of Yi Zhonghai's support.

After all, Yi Zhonghai is a big boss in Siheyuan and a level 6 fitter in the steel rolling mill. In the whole Siheyuan, only Zhou Jin doesn't take him seriously, and everyone else can only succumb to his tyranny.

Otherwise, if Yi Zhonghai wants to deal with you, you will have no way to hide, whether it is in the factory or in the Siheyuan. This is why when the Jia family makes trouble in the Siheyuan, Yi Zhonghai always favors the Jia family, and no one dares to oppose it.

Everyone knows that those who stood out against it have been kicked out of the courtyard. As for Zhou Jin, he is an exception. He is the deputy chief of the purchasing department in the steel rolling mill. Yi Zhonghai cannot reach that far.

In the courtyard, Zhou Jin himself is a veteran and has made meritorious services. He is also a martyr's relative, and the house he lives in is also his family's private property. As long as he doesn't give Yi Zhonghai any evidence, Yi Zhonghai really has no way to do anything to him.

Now Jia Dongxu has realized the consequences of offending Yi Zhonghai. The other party hasn't even made a move against him yet, but he has already started to tremble with fear at just a simple action.

"Dongxu, now that the first master has an opinion of us and we have no better solution, we need to show weakness to the enemy and retreat in order to advance. We should first admit our mistakes to the first master and make him give up the idea of ​​dealing with us, so that we can gain living space.

In this way, he will continue to focus on your retirement, and then we can find a way to tie down Shazhu, using a two-pronged approach.

In this way, even if the first master still wants to use this trick against us, it will be useless. When our Jia family becomes more powerful and no longer afraid of the first master, the deaf old lady, Sha Zhu and the first master's house and property will all belong to our Jia family."

When Jia Dongxu heard Qin Huairu asking him to admit his mistakes, he was a little unhappy. Although he also agreed with these views, he still had to save face.

However, after listening to Qin Huairu's words, he felt that this daughter-in-law was the female Zhuge Liang of the time, and this method was indeed perfect.

The deaf old lady is taken care of by Yi Zhonghai, and she likes Sha Zhu the most, so after her death, her property will only be left to these two people.

Yi Zhonghai is Dongxu's master and he will rely on Dongxu to support him in his old age. At that time, his house and money will all belong to Dongxu.

Everyone knows that Sha Zhu likes Qin Huairu, and he has been bewitched by her to the point of not knowing what to do. As long as Qin Huairu uses some tricks, it will be easy for her to get Sha Zhu's house.

In this way, the Jia family truly became a wealthy family in the courtyard, owning two main rooms, two side rooms and two ear rooms.

Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu couldn't help laughing, then looked at Qin Huairu and said.

"Huai Ru, I think what you said is very right. We really can't compete with Yi Zhonghai right now. Let's do as you say. We have a long time to come together. Go buy two kilograms of meat tomorrow.

When I get off work tomorrow, I will invite Master to our house for dinner tonight. We will apologize to him and try to resolve the matter as soon as possible. Let him show off for a while."

Tonight, several families in the courtyard got the answers they wanted, and they all slept soundly.

Time passed quickly, and it felt like daybreak had arrived soon. Everyone in the courtyard started another busy day.

Zhou Jin got up early as usual to make breakfast, and then after eating with Zhou Xin, they went to Grandpa Jin's house together. He had to go to the steel mill today and had a few things to take care of.

Jia Dongxu was particularly flattering to Yi Zhonghai today and even invited him to his house for dinner in the evening, which made Yi Zhonghai very happy. It seemed that the Jia family knew about what happened yesterday.

He was sensible enough to recognize his mistake, admit it and apologize. Yi Zhonghai didn't make a fuss about it and promised to be there on time that night. Then they went to the steel mill together.

Sha Zhu originally arrived at the steel mill at ten o'clock, and now he is injured, so he hasn't gotten up yet.

Zhou Jin came to the purchasing department today. He first told Liu Jun that they could go to get the supplies tomorrow, and then asked about the reactions of the people in the group over the past two days.

The two chatted for about half an hour. Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhou Jin left the purchasing office and walked towards Li Huaide's office.

At this time, Li Huaide had just arrived not long ago. He was very excited for the past two days. After all, the food problem had been solved. But he was also a little uneasy. After all, the food had not yet arrived at the steel mill warehouse, so something unexpected might happen.

Moreover, Zhou Jin didn't come to the factory yesterday, which made Li Huaide anxious, but he had no one to talk to, which made him very distressed.

Just as I was thinking about Zhou Jin, Zhou Jin knocked on the door and came in.

"Hey, Xiao Zhou, you're finally here. Tell me what's going on. As long as the grain isn't stored in the warehouse, I can't calm down for a moment."

"Director Li, I'm here to give you good news. My comrades and I have already made arrangements. Tomorrow at 2 a.m., I will come to the factory to drive to pick up food. Director Li will have to arrange the truck."

"Hey, good things are worth waiting for. I feel relieved now that it's confirmed. Don't worry about what you said. I have already arranged it and am waiting for your notification."

"With Director Li in charge of the factory's coordination, I feel assured."

"Okay, okay, this time it's all thanks to you. We've finally solved the big problem in the factory."

"Director, I have a small matter here and I would like to trouble you for a moment."

"Whatever it is, tell me. As long as I can do it, there will be absolutely no problem."

"It's not a big deal, actually. I adopted a little sister last year, and she's of school age this year. I don't know anyone at Red Star Primary School, so I wanted to ask you to help me get to know someone at the school so I can resolve this matter."

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal, it's just this matter, don't worry, Hongxing Primary School is the factory-run primary school of our factory, but you have only been here for a short time, so it's normal that some people don't know you.

So, I will call the principal of Red Star Primary School after get off work tomorrow to arrange an appointment, and we can have dinner together and then resolve the matter. In the future, our sister will have someone to protect her at school."

"Thank you very much, Director. How about this? You invite the principal to the factory tomorrow. I'll bring the ingredients and borrow the canteen's small kitchen. I'll cook for you two myself to thank you. What do you think?"

"That's fine, but how's your cooking? How about I keep the silly pillar here?"

"Director, I'm not bragging, but in terms of cooking skills, I can be Sha Zhu's master, and I'm inviting you and the principal to dinner. How can I do something I'm not sure of?"

"Okay, I'm looking forward to what you said. I'll make an appointment for you later. It all depends on your performance tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I won't bother you anymore. I'll leave first."

"Okay, go and do your work."
