Siheyuan: Huairu is eighteen, Shazhu calls her mom

"Put out the fire, put out the fire!"

The three members of the Jia family came out of the house and saw their house surrounded by fire. They were so scared that they couldn't help but scream.

Jia Zhang, who would normally yell for a long time at the top of her lungs whenever something happened, at this moment, her roar like a lion was fully displayed.

When their family shouted like this, the neighbors in the front and back yards were all awakened. They put on their clothes, carried buckets of water, and ran towards the middle yard.

This is a courtyard house with too many flammable materials. If the fire is not put out in time, no one will be spared.

He Daqing walked out of the house, carrying a bucket of water, and walked towards Yi Zhonghai's house to help Yi Zhonghai put out the fire.

Well, although the fire on Yi Zhonghai's side was not as big as that on Jia Zhang's side, he just disliked Jia Zhang. What's more, as for his own child, Tao Huilan, he naturally had to help put out the fire.

As for the neighbors who rushed over from other courtyards, they did the same thing. Most of them were carrying water and running towards Yi Zhonghai's house.

There was no way. Yi Zhonghai usually had a good relationship with people, but Jia Zhang had quarreled with almost every household. Now when encountering such a thing, character became extremely crucial.

There is strength in numbers.

With the help of everyone, the fire in Yi Zhonghai's house was finally put out.

Until this moment, everyone came over to Jia Zhang, carrying buckets of water.

"Oh my, my house... This is the only property Dongxu's father left to my mother and me! It's destroyed just like that!"

By the time the fire was out, it was already daylight.

Looking at her unrecognizable house, Jia Zhang couldn't help but squat on the ground and burst into tears.

She had originally thought that after the Chinese New Year, she and Xu Youliang would move to the compound and give the house to Jia Dongxu for his wedding. But she never expected that the house would be burned down like this on the first day of the Chinese New Year.

Not to mention that all the windows were burned, even the roof was burned beyond recognition.

If you want to repair it, it will cost a lot of money.

"Jia Zhang, you still have the nerve to cry!"

However, at this moment, Yi Zhonghai came over angrily, pointed at Jia Zhang's nose and cursed in front of everyone.

"When the fire is burning, you are the one who burns the most. Your family only cares about lighting the fire and not putting it out. Don't you know that the wind is strong in winter? Ah, look, if it weren't for your family, my house wouldn't have caught fire!"

"Jia Zhang, pay the money!"

Yi Zhonghai was furious at this time.

After so many years of suffering, I finally had a child. I had dreamed of living a good life in the future, but now, all my windows were burned down.

Isn’t it upsetting that the New Year’s Day has turned out like this?

As soon as these words were spoken, the neighbors around also echoed them.

"That's right. You didn't pay attention to safety after starting the fire. Now look at the huge loss!"

"Old Yi is in complete calamity!"

"Jia Zhang, this is what's wrong with your family! You're so grown up, and you can't even handle such a small matter?"

The neighbors usually didn't get along with Jia Zhang, so they naturally took the opportunity to blame her.

Jia Zhang, who was already sad, cried even harder after hearing this.

"Oh my, I can't live anymore. I can't live anymore. You guys are bullying me!"

While crying, she looked at her man for help.

"I have food, they are bullying me!"

Xu Youliang, "..."

Damn, what kind of family do I have?

It's New Year's Day and the house is burned down like this, and it has affected other families too. It's really unlucky!

But Xiao Zhang is his woman after all, and he can't just sit back and watch when something like this happens.

Xu Youliang glanced at Yi Zhonghai's house across the street. Fortunately, the damage was not very serious.

He looked at Yi Zhonghai, not accompanying him.

"Brother Yi, I'm sorry, it's all our negligence!"

"so……"

Xu Youliang said helplessly,

"When I was young, I happened to learn some carpentry skills. How about I take care of all the windows for your house?"

As for the windows alone, you can find the wood yourself and then rebuild it. As for the glass, it will be enough to just buy two large pieces of glass.

After calculating this way, it seems that I can accept it.

"No, on top of that, you have to pay me fifty dollars!"

Yi Zhonghai said angrily with a cold face,

"It's Chinese New Year, and other families are warming up by the fire at home. Now we have no windows at home. Are you going to let me blow the cold wind in the middle of winter? What's more, my wife is still pregnant. How are you going to let us celebrate?"

Xu Youliang, "..."

Fifty yuan is equivalent to two months' salary for him.

But what Yi Zhonghai said makes sense. His wife is still pregnant. This...

"Okay! Fifty is fifty, but I don't have any money right now. How about you wait until after the New Year and I get paid and then give it to you?"

Xu Youliang's already dark face became even darker.

It hurts.

He suddenly realized that since marrying Jia Zhang, he had not gained much benefit and had only spent money.

"Okay, write me a receipt. If you don't pay me back, I'll go to your company!"

Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly. If it was normal, he would have tolerated it. But during the New Year, his house was burned down like this, and he and his wife had to endure the cold for several days. How could he not be angry?

Moreover, the monk may run away but the temple cannot. Xu Youliang works in a grain store, so he is not afraid that Xu Youliang will default on his debt.

So, in front of everyone, Xu Youliang signed an IOU with Yi Zhonghai despite Jia Zhang's objection, and the matter was settled.

"Old Xu, you are stupid, they are clearly trying to blackmail you!"

Jia Zhang looked at Xu Youliang with heartache. Not only did she have to reinstall the windows for Yi Zhonghai's house, but she also had to pay fifty yuan in compensation. How were they going to live in the future?

"What else?"

Xu Youliang glared at Jia Zhang.

"Don't cry. We can't live in this house for the time being, and we don't have the money to repair it in a short time. You and Dongxu, just come and live with me over there. But from now on, you have to listen to me!"

The reason why Xu Youliang admitted his mistake was that he wanted to regain his leadership. Otherwise, if he allowed Jia Zhang to continue making trouble like this, he would only become poorer and poorer in the future.

"Okay, I listen to you!"

Jia Zhang, who was usually arrogant, also knew that if she didn't do as Xu Youliang said, she and her son would probably have to sleep on the streets tonight.

Fortunately, Xu Youliang still has a house, so at least there is a place to live.

Just as he was about to speak, Yi Zhonghai's roar came from not far away.

"Xu Youliang, why are you still standing there? When will our windows be repaired?"

"Okay, here I come."

Xu Youliang didn't bother to pay attention to Jia Zhang and had to walk towards Yi Zhonghai. Jia Dongxu, who was standing aside, shook his head helplessly and followed his stepfather.

I had been thinking about performing well after the New Year and striving to become a formal employee, but now I have offended my master, and my life in the future will not be easy.

Alas, why is my life so bitter!
