Siheyuan: Qin Huairu is a lucky charm for her husband

Xicheng District

Feng Shigao and his family of three came to visit his uncle's family...

Now that Qi Weiyi's nine-by-nine method is unusable, Feng Shigao, who has no informants in the courtyard, is getting a little anxious.

"Uncle, now Qi Zhiqiang's youngest son has also been exposed! What should we do?"

Director Qi and his wife exchanged a smile and then took out a telegram from their briefcase.

Feng Shigao took it, glanced at it, and smiled.

"Great! Since they're from our hometown and came all the way here for help, let's transfer them over! We'll make sure to arrange things properly this time, and make sure they don't slip up again."

Director Qi didn't know who this Qi Wei was, but a twenty-year-old was definitely better than seventeen-year-old Qi Weiyi. After all, he was a high school graduate!

"Shigao, you must perform well recently. I ran into an old friend of yours at a meeting a couple of days ago. They all said that the steel rolling mill has a bright future. That Secretary Lin is definitely going to be promoted to a higher position, so your future at the steel rolling mill is very promising."

Everyone now believes that Lin Chen will definitely leave the steel rolling mill in the future, because he is too outstanding and it would be a pity for him to stay in the steel rolling mill!

Feng Shigao was already fantasizing about taking charge of the steel rolling mill after Secretary Lin was promoted...

"Don't worry, Uncle, I will definitely not let you and Aunt down."

Feng Shigao received this news, and so did Li Huaide, Chen Junliang, and Ji Yunfeng! After all, this was a rumor that Lin Chen deliberately had Minister Liu spread, just to give these people more hope.

The steel rolling mill is thriving; who knows, Lin Chen might get promoted any day with a transfer order. Aren't you all going to try and perform well?

Courtyard No. 94

Ma Banjie is helping Wang Baye make the bed and fold the blankets...

The kid was so excited he almost jumped for joy. It was absolutely the right thing he'd done—he knew those guys were up to no good…

Ma Banjie has been bragging to everyone he meets today about his wise choice, and he's been vehemently criticizing Yan Bugui and Jia Zhangshi for being brainless. They'd even dare to make money off grave sweepings; they've never seen how miserable Wang Laoba's cousin is!

"Eighth Master, Yi Zhonghai was just dragged home by his second apprentice. The people in the courtyard are doing their part to vent your anger..."

Master Wang wanted to kill the master and apprentice, as he had almost died at their hands that day. However, after hearing that they had both been severely punished, his mood improved somewhat.

“Those two bastards deserve it, they were all like that today… never mind, I won’t say anything. Is Old Yan coming tonight? His bedding is still here… if he’s not coming, I’ll send that kid Li Erbao over.”

These two guys are now too scared to sleep alone, so they've started thinking about finding someone to keep them company.

"I don't know, he should be here by now! I'll go check on him. Don't worry, even if I have to drag him, I'll bring him over. That old guy's got some skills..."

Ma tucked a cigarette into his pocket and went out to call for backup, figuring it would make him feel more secure with more people around. The main reason was that Li Erbao was a greenhorn, unlike Lao Yan, who had both skill and experience.

Yan Bugui is currently mocking Qiangzi and Jia Zhangshi at his doorstep. The old man will not let go of any opportunity to kick them while they're down.

After Qiangzi and his wife returned, they kept blaming each other; otherwise, they wouldn't have let Banggeng sneak in.

"You two, Jia and Zhang, stop cursing! The food didn't end up in anyone else's mouth. Would you feel bad if your son and grandson ate it?"

Yan Bugui said this, but his expression was quite varied. If it weren't for the injury on his face, the old man would have been grinning from ear to ear.

"You stingy old man, don't talk like that. What I do is none of your business. Mind your own business! Yang Ruihua is coming to give you a piece of her mind again soon..."

Just as the two guys were exchanging insults, Ma Banjie came running over, all smiles.

"Uncle, why are you bothering with them! Come on, have a smoke... What are you talking to this crazy woman about? She's a jinx, anyone who gets involved with her will be unlucky."

When Yan Bugui thought about what happened this morning, he also felt that it was Jia Zhangshi who was responsible.

“Indeed, we’ll talk to Lao Wang about not taking her out next time.”

Madam Jia glanced at Ma Banjie and thought, "You good-for-nothing, you've got to be cocky today, but I'm not one to be trifled with. You saw that old bastard's cousin, didn't you? Well, I'll give you something even tougher..."

As soon as Yan Bugui took the cigarette and was about to leave with the other party, Jia Zhangshi, who was sitting at the door, let out a loud howl.

"Old Jia! Come up here quickly! I've been bullied by your men again! And your old buddy Yan Bugui, he bullies me every day too. Come up and talk to them again! He's gone to sleep in the back room in the east courtyard again tonight! Come up quickly..."

Upon hearing this, Ma Banjie immediately shuddered and slapped his thigh in anger; now, he had goosebumps all over his body.

Is this Jia Zhangshi crazy? Why bring up something that shouldn't be brought up? Why are you calling for Old Jia in the middle of the night?

Yan Bugui turned around angrily, ready to argue with Jia Zhangshi, but was forcibly pulled away by Ma Banjie.

"Uncle, let's ignore him! What a piece of trash! I'm going to report him for promoting feudal superstition tomorrow..."

When Jia Zhangshi heard that this guy wanted to report her, she got up and chased after the two of them.

"That's utter nonsense! Who among us practices feudal superstition? I'm going to report you! You've been spreading rumors all over the neighborhood that you saw a ghost... What's wrong with me calling out to my dead husband? Does the neighborhood committee not allow ordinary people to remember their deceased relatives? Humph! Trying to fight me? You're all no better than me."

Jia Zhangshi's barrage of criticism left Yan Bugui and Ma Banjie speechless; there was truly nothing one could do about someone longing for their deceased husband.

Seeing that they couldn't subdue Jia Zhangshi, the two men had no choice but to slink away.

Lin Chen didn't go to Guanhu Garden to rest today because he was waiting to teach Old Wangba and his gang another lesson.

Seeing that his wife was about to beat him up again, Qiangzi stepped forward and pulled her back.

"Sister Zhang, don't chase after them! You'll get hurt if you go next door..."

Ma Banjie is easy to deal with, but Li Dabao and Da Shachun, who are in his group, are not so easy to deal with!

Only then did Madam Jia let the two men go...

"I'll let them off this time, and they still dare to report me. The neighborhood committee should arrest them first... What does this mean! They actually wet the bed in fear."

Just as the couple returned home, Yang Weimin walked in from outside the gate. The boy hadn't eaten at home today and had no idea what had happened in the yard.

He's back now because Factory Director Yang instructed him to give Jia Zhangshi and Cai Quanwu tasks, since Factory Director Yang was also considering the possibility that Liu Haizhong and his group might not dare to confront Ji Cheng. So, he sent Cai Quanwu and the others, who weren't working at the steel rolling mill, to do it…

"Aunt Jia, please wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

Yang Weimin froze as he approached. He had thought Jia Zhangshi's injuries would improve after a day of rest. But to his utter surprise, they had worsened...

The couple realized that this was another generous spender visiting their home, so they had to entertain him. Qiangzi pulled the man inside.

"Let's go back inside and talk. There are too many people around here."
