Yi Zhonghai's Siheyuan

When Xu Damao and Sha Zhu saw that Yi Zhonghai had resigned as the manager, they also proposed to Director Wang that they should resign as the manager. They felt that following Master Yi was the right thing to do.

Director Wang was confused. When Yi Zhonghai was the boss, didn't he solve all the problems in the yard? Why is it the other way around now? Is it because Yi Zhonghai got promoted? But what's going on with Xu Damao and Sha Zhu?

Seeing that everyone who had not left was looking at him, Director Wang felt a little anxious and hurried out of the courtyard with two staff members.

At the Yi family, Yi Zhonghai returned home, poured two cups of tea and started drinking. He was so mad at Director Wang that he almost died. It was so hard to get rid of the manager in this yard, but now he had to keep the lid on it again.

Huang Yulan saw that her husband looked unhappy and hurried over to comfort him.

"Boss, we don't want to be the manager anymore! The most important thing is that you just have to bear the brunt of the anger on your own. Besides, you have a lot of things to do in the steel mill now. Let's just concentrate on our work."

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to lose his temper with his family, so he smiled at Huang Yulan and said, "It's okay, I just feel a little bit helpless."

Just then there was a knock on the door. Huang Yulan opened the door and saw Sha Zhu and Xu Damao walking in.

As soon as Sha Zhu sat down, he said, "Uncle Yi, if you don't want to be the manager, then neither will we. And I think this yard doesn't need a manager. Whoever commits a crime should just go to jail."

"Uncle Yi, I don't want to be the manager anymore. It's not as enjoyable as being the director of the Ga Committee. I was just in a spur of the moment situation at that time. But after what happened to Yan Jiecheng, I began to regret being the manager." Xu Damao also said on the side.

Huang Yulan laughed and said, "Hahaha, you two are really interesting..."

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao looked at each other, neither knowing what Huang Yulan was laughing at.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai began to say, "Zhu Zi, Damao, did you two also think that the manager of this courtyard was unreasonable?"

Sha Zhu said carelessly, "I didn't feel that way before, but after I got married, I remembered the things I did before, and also remembered that you, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui were playing the role of clowns in the assembly of the whole hospital."

Xu Damao expressed it implicitly, "Uncle Yi, you know me. I was always bullied by Sha Zhu, and then I asked Liu Haizhong to organize a hospital-wide meeting. As a result, you always helped Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu at that time. Later, I also learned that you hoped that Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu would take care of each other in their old age, but since you came back from the hospital, you have changed completely."

"People change. Now when I think about the stupid things I did in the past, I want to slap myself. Okay, it's almost time for us to rest. You should go back and rest early too." After Yi Zhonghai finished chatting, he started to chase people away.

At the Jia family, Qin Huairu was helping Jia Zhang pack her things. Now Jia Zhang had to leave even if she didn't want to. It was her fault for making a fuss. Director Wang had always turned a blind eye to it.

While packing her things, Jia Zhang said to Qin Huairu in a gentle tone, "Huairu, you must remember what I said when I go back to the countryside this time. You must not have a child with that kid from the Wang family, otherwise Banggeng will have no future. What's more, Banggeng has been in jail."

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at Jia Zhang and thought to herself, it would be better if you, old woman, stopped making trouble and stayed here to act as a shield for me.

But Qin Huairu still agreed verbally. Jia Zhang didn't know whether Qin Huairu listened to what she said. However, seeing that Qin Huairu felt sorry for Banggeng, Jia Zhang didn't say anything more.

Jia Zhang stood up and walked to the portrait of Old Jia, took a look at it, then took out three incense sticks from under her bed and lit them, then bowed to Old Jia with the incense in her hands.

Qin Huairu suddenly screamed. Jia Zhang looked over and saw that it was Qin Huairu who took out a portrait of Jia Dongxu from her bag. When Qin Huairu saw Jia Dongxu's face, she unconsciously remembered the stupid things she had done.

Then, Mrs. Jia Zhang wiped the portrait of old Jia again, and asked Qin Huairu to call Xiaodang and Huaihua over. Qin Huairu had no choice but to do as she was told and go to Wang Yuehua's house to call Xiaodang back. As for Huaihua, she refused to go back to the Jia family no matter what, and Qin Huairu could do nothing about it.

Xiaodang entered the house and saw her grandmother wiping her grandfather's portrait. At her age, she only had a vague understanding of these things.

Jia Zhang took Xiaodang's hand and sat at the table and said, "Xiaodang, even though grandma has always said that you two are money-losing goods, you are still the eldest granddaughter of the Jia family. Grandma has nothing to give you. I can only give you the gold earrings that your grandfather gave me. I don't know if grandma can see you get married."

As she spoke, Jia Zhang took out a small cloth bag from her pocket, opened it carefully, and saw a gold ring, a pair of gold earrings, and a gold bracelet inside.

Qin Huairu's eyes widened when she looked at these things. She had been married to the Jia family for so long and yet the old man didn't know anything about them. The old man hid it very well. However, when she saw her giving the gold earrings to her daughter, her anger subsided a lot.

Jia Zhang handed a pair of gold earrings to Xiaodang, who took them blankly. In her impression, shouldn't her grandmother curse her? Why did she give her something so kindly?

"Xiaodang, you must remember that you are the eldest granddaughter of the Jia family. When your brother comes back, you must tell him to come to Zhangjia Village to see your grandmother. Do you understand?" After saying this, Jia Zhang couldn't help but shed tears.

Xiaodang also started crying. She hugged Jia Zhang's arm and wiped her tears. She nodded and said she understood while crying.

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Huairu, this gold bracelet is for you. It was also given to me by Banggeng's grandfather when he got married. Remember to pass it on to Banggeng's wife in the future, okay?"

Qin Huairu didn't react at once, but she was still quick to grab it. Before she touched it, Jia Zhang retracted her hand and said, "Qin Huairu, you must give me a granddaughter-in-law! Let him have children for our Jia family! Got it!"

Qin Huairu nodded vigorously, and then Jia Zhang gave the gold bracelet to Qin Huairu. This time, Jia Zhang did not hold back but gave it to her generously.

After explaining these things, Jia Zhang asked Qin Huairu and Xiaodang to leave, while she stayed in the house and seemed to be watching something.

After Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu leave from the window, she went under the bed, picked up four or five bricks, and took out 300 yuan from them. This was the last money Jia Zhang had and she wanted to take it back to the countryside.

Early the next morning, the staff from the street office came to the courtyard and took Jia Zhang back to Zhangjia Village. Xiaodang cried inconsolably and Qin Huairu's eyes were red.

On the oxcart back to Zhangjia Village, Jia Zhang laughed and said, Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu, you want to fight me? What I give you are all fakes. I won’t give you the real thing…
