Siheyuan: Starting to work in the security department

After dinner, the second son of the Liu family notified me to go to the Intermediate Court to attend the general meeting of the court.

The whole courtyard assembly is one of the famous scenes in Siheyuan, and Niu Pingan certainly would not miss it.

When Niu Ping'an arrived at the central courtyard, the courtyard was already full of people. Except for the deaf old lady in the backyard and Xu Damao, almost every family in the courtyard had representatives present.

Three old men sat at a shabby square table, with Yi Zhonghai in the middle and a bodyguard on each side.

Everyone held an enamel cup and looked very impressive.

Niu Ping'an casually found a corner and watched from the sidelines.

When most people had arrived, Liu Haizhong stood up, coughed lightly, and pressed his hands together, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone be quiet! We are going to hold a meeting today, and the... um... our highly respected uncle will give a speech!"

After he finished speaking, he started to applaud, and the crowd joined in sparsely.

Yi Zhonghai took a sip of water to moisten his throat and stood up.

“There are three things going on in this meeting today.

The first thing is that Dongxu had an accident and our hospital lost an outstanding young man.

Fortunately, with the help of all the neighbors, Dongxu's funeral was decent and did not bring shame to our civilized courtyard!

Huairu, come and thank all the neighbors!"

Qin Huairu, with red and swollen eyes, bowed and thanked everyone around her.

Combined with my pitiful expression and bulging belly, many male friends felt distressed.

Sha Zhu was so anxious that he scratched his head, but he didn't know what to do.

Yi Zhonghai took everyone's expressions into consideration and a smug look flashed across his eyes.

"Okay, the second thing is that Dongxu is gone, and the Jia family has lost its pillar, so life is not easy.

Especially Huairu, who was pregnant and needed nutrition the most.

Zhuzi, you are the chef of the steel mill. Is it okay for you to bring some leftovers to the Jia family every day?"

Sha Zhu is doing very well in the steel rolling mill thanks to his excellent cooking skills.

However, Shazhu had a bad temper and offended many people, and shaking the spoon was a common occurrence for him.

Otherwise, in an age when people can’t even get enough to eat, where would we get leftovers to take home?

The leader turned a blind eye to this, but it also ended Sha Zhu's path to promotion.

After hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu lovingly.

Sha Zhu's eyes were glued to Qin Huairu. When he noticed her gaze, he felt his body lighten by several pounds.

Without even thinking, he patted his chest and replied:

"no problem!"

The neighbors around were indifferent and no one objected. Some of them even had a playful look in their eyes.

Yi Zhonghai is a ruthless man. An unmarried young man supports a widow. Sha Zhu’s reputation is ruined!

"Okay! They say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Our courtyard needs responsible young people like Zhuzi!"

Yi Zhonghai made complimenting remarks at the right time.

Sha Zhu was a man who easily yielded to requests for favors. When he heard Yi Zhonghai's praise, his face lit up with pride.

"The third thing is that the weather is getting colder, and the subdistrict office has notified us to start buying coal for the winter.

Do you think we should buy them collectively or buy them individually? "

This matter concerns everyone's interests, and the neighbors began to discuss it among themselves.

"It's still more cost-effective to buy them in bulk. It can save a lot of shipping costs."

"It's just hard to divide it when the time comes. After all, there will be losses in transporting coal."

"What's the big deal? Just transport it one trip per family."

……

"I think it would be better to let Guangtian and Jiefang bring back the coal from the yard!

I gave each of them 50 cents as a reward for their hard work.

What do the second and third uncles think? "

Yi Zhonghai knows how to grasp people's hearts. He has a plan in mind and spends a little money to gain a good reputation.

Yan Bugui was greedy for money and naturally had no objection since he might not earn 50 cents a day doing odd jobs.

Liu Haizhong looked down on this small amount of money, but felt that it would enhance his prestige. Besides, Liu Guangtian was wandering around all day, so he didn't refuse.

"no problem!"

"A great uncle!"

"It's still a great man, we can save a lot of trouble!"

When people saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage, they started to speak kindly to each other.

Yi Zhonghai was very satisfied with the effect.

"Okay, everyone, be safe when using coal, meeting adjourned!"

A whole-house meeting came to an end and everyone was happy.

The Jia family's food improved after they had Sha Zhu's lunch boxes;

Sha Zhu had a legitimate reason to approach the goddess, and he was secretly delighted;

Yi Zhonghai threw away the burden of the Jia family, and even Jia Dongxu's death became less sad;

Only He Yushui's miserable life was about to begin, but she lived on campus and not in the hospital, so she didn't know the news yet.

Everyone also chose to forget He Yushui, and no one cared about her feelings.

There is one more person among the characters that are not loved by grandma and uncle, making it a trio.

Xu Damao, Niu Pingan, He Yushui.

Jia family

After Qin Huairu coaxed the two children to sleep, the new and old widows sat together in silence.

After a long while, Jia Zhang said:

"Huai Ru, let's go to the factory with Uncle tomorrow to do some work!"

Jia Dongxu had an accident in the factory and the factory provided corresponding compensation.

Qin Huairu can replace Jia Dongxu's job, and also receive a pension and funeral expenses.

Naturally, Jia Zhang had to hold the money in her own hands, otherwise she would feel uneasy.

"Okay, Mom!"

Qin Huairu felt a little uneasy. She was just a country girl and usually just did some housework like washing and cleaning.

One can imagine the pressure he felt when he suddenly had to shoulder the heavy burden of supporting his family.

However, when she thought that she could become a worker and her children would also have a quota, Qin Huairu felt much better.

In this year of famine, Jia Dongxu's death may not be a bad thing for the Jia family.

But without the pillar of the family, the family is bound to be bullied by others. Qin Huairu has already started thinking about how to deal with this trouble.

After thinking for a while, I still couldn't come up with an answer, so I could only ask the senior in front of me for help.

"Mom, the family has lost its pillar, what should we do in the future?"

"Alas, Dongxu is gone, and that old man Yi Zhonghai may not be on our side anymore!"

Yi Zhonghai favors the Jia family. Jia Zhang knows exactly what he is planning, which is simply for the sake of providing for the elderly.

Both parties got what they wanted, and Jia Zhang did not refuse.

Now that Jia Dongxu is gone, Yi Zhonghai will definitely have other plans, and the Jia family's situation is worrying.

"Shazhu is the only idiot in the hospital who is easy to fool. You must hold him tightly.

Shazhu is a person who has the desire but not the courage to do it. If you give him a little sweetness, he will be so happy that he will lose his mind! "

Jia Zhang watched Sha Zhu grow up, so she naturally knew Sha Zhu's character very well.

Moreover, from the way Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang had already discovered that there was something fishy.

"understood!"

Qin Huairu is a smart person and certainly knows how to control a man.

"But remember, you are a member of the Jia family in life and a ghost of the Jia family in death. If you dare to let Dongxu down, I will drive you back to the countryside!"

Jia Zhang said in a timid tone.

What Jia Zhang fears most now is that Qin Huairu will abandon this family. Otherwise, how can she, an old lady who lives on eating and waiting to die, survive with several children?

Qin Huairu was just a clever rural woman with limited knowledge and traditional ideas. When she heard what Jia Zhang said, she immediately expressed her opinion:

"Mom, don't worry, I won't leave this house!"

"Hmph, that's good if you know!"

Jia Zhang snorted coldly, but felt relieved in her heart, knowing that Qin Huairu was temporarily under control.

By then, we will take control of the financial power and brainwash Banggeng. I don't believe she can turn the tables.

"Mom, I'm going to transfer my household registration tomorrow, and the children will have their own rations, so food won't be so tight anymore!

With Shazhu's lunch box, we won't be short of food."

Qin Huairu was a little excited when she thought that she would become a member of the glorious working class and her household registration would be changed to a city household registration.

"Yes! But the workstation belongs to my Jia family, and I have to save Dongxu's compensation money for Banggeng to use for marrying a wife in the future!

You have to give me three dollars a month for my retirement, and you have to buy me painkillers."

"understood!"

Over the years, Jia Dongxu has given Jia Zhangshi pension money every month, and Qin Huairu thinks there is nothing wrong with it.

Jia Dongxu is gone, but the quality of life of this family cannot decline.

Although the monthly salary is just that much, but I still have Shazhu!

Qin Huairu had already thought it through. She would grab Sha Zhu, the blood bag, and suck his blood as hard as she could.

As for other people in the courtyard, Qin Huairu didn't dare to provoke them now.

"You are tired too, take a rest!"

After discussing the matter, Jia Zhang also showed attentive concern for Qin Huairu and was well versed in PUA.

"Mom, you should also go to bed early."

Qin Huairu was a little flattered by Jia Zhang's sudden concern.

You have to know that Qin Huairu has been married into the Jia family for more than ten years. Although Jia Zhangshi was not too bad to her, she was not too good to her either.

Qin Huairu was a little uncomfortable with the sudden concern.
