Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Near noon, a three-wheeled motorcycle appeared at the gate of the courtyard. Auntie One got off the motorcycle, said "thank you" to the two police officers who accompanied her, and watched the motorcycle leave. When Auntie One was about to enter the gate of the courtyard, Auntie Two and Auntie Three, who were chatting, immediately came up and surrounded Auntie One. Auntie Two asked, "Old Yi family, how is Yi Zhonghai?!"

The lady replied: "You already know the result. What else can we do?!"

The third aunt asked: "Is there no room for maneuver?!"

The first aunt shook her head and said, "We've thought of all the possible solutions. Who made Yi Zhonghai do such a wicked thing?! Okay! I won't talk to you anymore. I still have to go back to cook.! Yi Zhonghai is dead, but I still have to live my life!" After that, the first aunt walked out of the encirclement of the second and third aunts and went straight into the courtyard.

The second and third aunts looked at the back of the first aunt and sighed at the same time. The second aunt felt sorry for the first aunt but didn't think much about it. The third aunt was different. Besides feeling sorry for the first aunt, she started to think about what she could do to gain advantage from the first aunt.

As soon as Auntie Yi walked into the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu immediately came to greet her and asked, "Auntie Yi, how is Uncle Yi?"

The aunt looked Qin Huairu up and down and said, "You have such a nice appearance, but you do shameless things." After that, the aunt pushed Qin Huairu away and walked towards her home. Qin Huairu looked at the aunt's back, and a strong murderous aura flashed across her eyes. Qin Huairu muttered in her heart: "Since you already know, don't blame me for being cruel!" Qin Huairu began to think about how to get rid of the aunt and get the things from Yi Zhonghai's house without knowing it.

Others didn't know what kind of people lived in this courtyard, but Auntie knew it very well. After lunch, Auntie took out the house deed and the land deed from the secret compartment of the chest of drawers, put the things on her body, and then went out. Half an hour later, Auntie came to the gate of the steel rolling mill and said to the guard of the steel rolling mill: "Comrade, can you please help me call He Yuzhu?!"

The guard stared at the old lady for a while and said, "Wait!"

About a quarter of an hour later, He Yuzhu came out of the factory. Seeing the old lady, He Yuzhu was slightly startled, and immediately pulled the old lady aside and asked, "Auntie, what's the matter?!"

The lady came straight to the point and asked, "Zhu Zi, do you want the house?!"

He Yuzhu was stunned by the question. After hesitating for a few seconds, he asked, "Auntie, what do you mean? Your house is a public housing. Even if it is a private house, it is not allowed to be bought or sold now! Don't hurt me!"

The aunt took out the house deed, the land deed and the transfer certificate written by Yi Zhonghai and said, "A few years ago, Yi Zhonghai found someone to buy my house without telling me. I have already inquired about it. Houses cannot be bought and sold but can be donated. If you want, you can give me 500 yuan for two rooms. I will go with you to the street office to handle the transfer procedures. When the time comes, I will tell the street office that out of shame, the house will be compensated to you two brothers and sisters."

He Yuzhu asked, "You sell the house to me. Where will you live?!"

The first lady did not hide anything and said, "I have contacted my nephew from my mother's side. He also promised to take care of me in my old age. I plan to go to his place."

He Yuzhu thought about it and said, "Okay! I want this house. Wait for me for a while, I'll go and ask for leave." After that, He Yuzhu returned to the factory in a hurry. About a quarter of an hour later, He Yuzhu rode out of the factory on his bicycle. After greeting the guard and handing him the exit form, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to the aunt and said, "Auntie, get on the bike!"

"Hey!" An old lady sat on the back of the bicycle and grabbed He Yuzhu's clothes. He Yuzhu lightly pedaled and rode the bicycle with the old lady on his back to the street office.

More than ten minutes later, He Yuzhu drove the old lady to the street office. After He Yuzhu parked the car, he followed the old lady to Director Wang's office. Wang Xia was stunned when she saw the old lady and He Yuzhu suddenly appear, and then asked: "Zhuzi, what are you doing here?!"

The aunt said, "Let me tell it!" Then the aunt looked at Wang Xia and said, "Director Wang, I went to see Yi Zhonghai today. He told me that before the public-private partnership, he bought the house we lived in. This is the transfer certificate he wrote." As she spoke, the aunt took out the transfer certificate from her pocket and handed it to Wang Xia, and continued, "Director Wang, I have been tormented these days. I really didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to do such a thing. After much thought, I want to give the house to He Yuzhu and his sister as compensation to them. In addition, Yi Zhonghai and I signed a divorce agreement in the detention center. Please ask Director Wang to help me with the formalities." After that, the aunt took out the divorce agreement again.

Wang Xia asked, "Zhao Guixiang, you gave the house to He Yuzhu and his sister. So where will you live in the future?!"

An aunt took out a registered letter from her nephew, handed it to Wang Xia, and said, "Director Wang, this is a letter from my nephew from my mother's side. He is willing to take care of me in my old age. I plan to go to him. I would also like to trouble you to write me a letter of introduction."

Wang Xia took the envelope with some doubt, took out the letter, and read it carefully. She finished reading the letter quickly and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I won't say much. I will take you to complete the house transfer procedures first. Then I will help you with the divorce procedures." After that, Wang Xia took He Yuzhu and the aunt to the Housing Management Office.

More than an hour later, He Yuzhu took the new house deed and land deed and followed the aunt out of the street office. When they arrived at a deserted place, He Yuzhu took out 500 yuan and handed it to the aunt, saying, "Auntie, please count it!"

The lady took the money, counted it carefully, and said, "Zhu Zi, I will deal with Yi Zhonghai's clothes in a while. If you want the furniture, you can keep it. Don't do whatever you want with it. I'm leaving tonight."

He Yuzhu said, "Auntie, since you are so sensible, I am not the kind of person who only takes advantage and never suffers any loss. Your family has food coupons for the four-nine cities. I have national food coupons here. I will exchange with you."

An old lady looked at He Yuzhu in disbelief and asked, "Zhuzi, is this true?!" Local food coupons are local food coupons, but national food coupons contain one ounce of cooking oil per pound.

He Yuzhu replied: "Of course it's real! I carry them all with me." Then He Yuzhu took out a stack of tickets from his pocket.

"Zhuzi, wait here for a while, I'll go back to get the ticket." After saying that, the lady turned around and left. Fearing delay, He Yuzhu refused to agree to change.

He Yuzhu smoked two cigarettes, and before he could light up the third one, an old lady came in. She took out the food coupons and said, "Zhuzi, 50 kilograms of fine grains and 120 kilograms of coarse grains, take a look."

He Yuzhu took the ticket, nodded, and said, "Auntie, we have been neighbors for so many years. I'll give you 120 kilograms of fine grain coupons." After that, He Yuzhu took out ten 10-jin food coupons and twenty 1-jin food coupons and handed them to the auntie.

The aunt took the food coupons, counted them, put them away carefully, and said, "Zhu Zi, Qin Huairu is not a good person. You must be careful. Also, if you can take care of the old lady in the backyard, then do so. If you can't, then forget it." After that, the aunt turned and left.

He Yuzhu looked at the bleak figure of the aunt, sighed unconsciously, and muttered: "She still has some conscience. I hope she can finally get her reward after all the suffering!"
