A chaotic house, a perfect couple
Chapter 2 Neighbors
The authenticity of the dream was confirmed, and Yu Junsheng felt even more depressed.
No matter how smart he was, he was just a young man in his early twenties. It was the first time he encountered such a weird and creepy thing, so how could he not be panicked?
If everything in the dream was true, then the person Aunt Hao introduced to me would definitely not work out. But I couldn't just reject him outright. After all, I was the one who asked Aunt Hao for help. I had to meet him at least. I could then make up a random excuse and say that the two of us were not suitable.
This is easy to solve. The problem now is that the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that the world he lives in is like a book. The protagonist is Zheng Haiyang from the same courtyard, and he himself is a supporting role who delivers food to the protagonist. The meaning of his existence is to make the protagonist successful.
Yu Junsheng had also read some novels. The plot set him up as a tool man who was specifically responsible for delivering equipment to the protagonist. So if Jiang Baiqiu was gone, would there be another Li Baiqiu, Zhang Baiqiu...
Will I be unable to escape the fate of being cuckolded and being a tool for others to give me houses, jobs and money, no matter who I marry?
And some people in the courtyard were eyeing the two rooms of his family, so it was obviously impossible for him not to get married...
He is not that old this year, so why is he so anxious to ask Aunt Hao to introduce him to a blind date? This is a long story.
Yu Junsheng thought about all the monsters in the yard and couldn't help but sneer.
……
Speaking of their yard, it really proves the saying that there are many turtles in a shallow pond.
Even though it is just a four-courtyard compound, the level of noise there is no different from the emperor's harem in the past.
There are about a hundred people in the family, and each of them has his or her own thoughts, so there are many troubles. There is a commotion every few days, and every courtyard has its most lively dragon and phoenix.
Take the front yard for example. Although there are four or five families living there, the most noisy ones are the Bao family and the Zhu family.
Let's start with the Bao family. Bao Chunming, the man, was a fifth-level forger at a machinery factory. His wife was a housewife, and they had two daughters. They were desperate to have a son, and when they couldn't, they came up with a shady plan: to have their eldest daughter marry into the family, so she could bear a son for them, and still have a grandson to carry on the family line. Unfortunately, the son-in-law turned out to be a sickly man, and died within two years of their marriage, leaving behind only a little girl. The couple finally gave up hope.
After this incident, the couple felt that live-in sons-in-law were useless! So they decided not to let their daughter find a son-in-law anymore, thinking that outsiders were unreliable. They decided to find one themselves. Now, the couple has taken up the task of having a son again. I heard that there is a lot of noise at night.
That would be fine, after all, having a son is a woman's choice, not the neighbors'. But Bao Chunming is a terrible person. He loves beating women when he's drunk, and every time he does, Liu Xiaohong screams in pain. It's not that people haven't criticized Bao Chunming, but Liu Xiaohong protects him, and if she gets angry, she'll even fight. After so many times, no one wants to bother with their family anymore. These two are a perfect match.
Dayan, the eldest daughter of the Bao family, now works in the logistics warehouse of a machinery factory. She looks honest and silent. She has been severely brainwashed by her parents, who favor boys over girls and don't care about their only daughter. The little girl is always dressed in dirty clothes and runs from one house to another, and no one cares about her. She is like a little beggar begging for food.
The second daughter of the Bao family is still studying. She considers herself a scholar and is rather arrogant. She looks down on her elder sister who serves her parents like a workhorse. This girl is selfish, shrewd, and has a lot of ulterior motives.
The other family in the front yard that was bustling with activity was the Zhu family. The man, Zhu Ziqiang, was a phoenix man from the countryside who had managed to find a job and settle down in the north city by hooking up with the deputy factory director's niece. After the marriage, the woman discovered that Zhu Ziqiang had already been married in the countryside and had two children.
Zhu Ziqiang swore that he would let his mother take care of the child in the countryside and would never disturb the couple's lives. From now on, they would just pretend that they didn't exist.
The matter was settled, and she had feelings for this man, so Fu Jiaojiao had no choice but to accept it and live a peaceful life with Zhu Ziqiang. Unexpectedly, a relative of the Fu family suddenly fell from power, leaving Fu Jiaojiao without a supporter. The old woman in the countryside immediately brought her two little grandsons to Zhu Ziqiang for refuge, saying that the children missed their father. Zhu Ziqiang had been coaxing Fu Jiaojiao because her relative had some power in the factory, and now he had nothing to fear, so he insisted on leaving his mother and children behind despite Fu Jiaojiao's objections.
Old Mrs. Zhu is not an easy person to deal with. The two little brats have been taught to hate their stepmother. The Zhu family is now in chaos every day.
Fu Jiaojiao's life was so frustrating that she just wanted to have a child of her own to compete with these two brats.
There is also a young couple who have been married for many years but have not yet conceived. Perhaps influenced by the other two families, I heard that they are also preparing for pregnancy. In short, these families in the front yard are all eager to have children and are eager to go to bed at night.
Oh, their compound's head, Uncle Zou Qianjin, and his family also lived in the front yard. Although Zou Qianjin was called Qianjin, he was always the last one to show up and was very "lazy" about resolving the "disputes" in the compound. But Yu Junsheng could understand that. After all, he had also seen Uncle Zou's hair getting thinner and thinner...
Zou Qianjin and his wife Hao Jingui have two sons and one daughter. The eldest son is serving in the army and has also joined the army after getting married. The second son works in the purchasing department of the supply and marketing cooperative, and they have a little daughter who is in high school. He is also an eighth-level worker in a machinery factory, so he is very respected and everyone trusts him.
In the second courtyard, the Guo family actually had the best conditions. Uncle Guo was the academic director of the factory-run primary school. His name was Guo Tieji, known as "Stingy," and he was a notorious stingy person in the compound. No one, not even his children, could take advantage of him. His son and daughter-in-law had to pay rent for anything they used in the house, a high rate among the entire compound.
Uncle Guo's wife, Aunt Cao, is a housewife who loves to gossip. She knows everything about the family, and there's nothing she doesn't know about. Just like two different people sleeping in the same bed, Aunt Cao is also a shrewd and stingy person, as evidenced by the fact that she doesn't object to Uncle Guo collecting rent from his son and daughter. "Whether there are dates or not, try your best to catch them" is Aunt Cao's life motto!
The couple has three children. The eldest son works in the office of a machinery factory, the youngest son works in the post office, and the youngest daughter is married. The family lives a really good life, but I don’t know why they pretend to be poor every day and are so stingy.
Speaking of taking advantage, we have to mention another key figure in the Second Hospital—Chang Dafen, the mother of the original novel's protagonist, Zheng Haiyang. Known as "unrivaled in the entire compound," she was a figure who couldn't resist a single drop of fat from the pork stalls she passed by, and every rooster that passed through her home was left covered in feathers. With the exception of the Guo family, few families in the entire compound hadn't been taken advantage of by her. She was also incredibly shameless and reckless, rolling on the ground with a tantrum when she was dissatisfied. She was simply unstoppable.
In short, Chang Dafen and Uncle Guo can be considered to be evenly matched.
Chang Dafen became a widow at an early age and raised four children alone. The eldest, Zheng Haiyang, worked in the security department of a machinery factory, and the second, third and youngest children were all studying. The family had a heavy burden and a lot of things to do, so Zheng Haiyang always wanted to find someone to help him share the burden of supporting the family. However, those who had jobs looked down on him, and he looked down on those who didn't. He was neither too high nor too low, so the marriage was delayed.
Naturally, under the cumulative influence of these two families, Yu Junsheng wasn't exactly a good person either. He was very self-aware. He knew all too well what the women in the compound said about him behind his back. Words like "unscrupulous," "varied," and "cunning" were euphemisms. But compared to the other two families, Yu Junsheng considered himself quite "kind" and "generous."
Three courtyards
The most respectable family is the Ren family. Guan Ailian always keeps the word respectable on her lips. Her husband Ren Wenhua considers himself a cultured man and acts pretentiously all day long. He doesn't look down on many of the neighbors in the compound. Both of them care more about face than anything else.
The couple had three sons. Strangely, they treated their later two sons like treasures, but treated their eldest son like a farmhand in the old society.
The third child was still in school, but as soon as the second child, Ren Yongsheng, graduated, his family used connections to get him an apprenticeship with a film projectionist. After a few years, he became a master and was considered the most respectable young man in the compound. Naturally, Ren Yongsheng didn't have to hand over his salary; he spent it all on himself, and sometimes Ren Wenhua would subsidize him if it wasn't enough.
The eldest son took on all the housework when he was very young. Not only did the two of them beat and scold him, but it was said that they even did not allow him to go to school for a period of time. When he finally grew up and found a job, he was "voluntarily" sent to the countryside. As a result, Ren Wenhua was promoted and started to act like a leader.
What this couple did was really despicable. Everyone was talking behind their backs, but Guan Ailian and Ren Wenhua were just being respectful in words.
The Qin family has the most things to do in the Third Hospital.
The man in the Qin family is called Qin Weimin. He seems to be a good man, willing to lend a hand to anyone in need, so he is well-liked in the courtyard. His wife, Aunt Yan, does not work and is devoted to taking care of the children at home. She regards her husband as her first priority and her mind is full of feudal remnants.
Qin Weimin has three sons and a daughter. His eldest son is just like him, naive on the outside but treacherous on the inside. He married Jin Qiaoqiao, a shrewd woman who is always trying to get benefits from the old couple. The second son is a driver for the factory's transport team. He is often away from home and rarely at home.
The third child, Qin Ziwen, is a propagandist at the machinery factory. He wears glasses and looks like a refined intellectual. It's true that his appearance is quite deceptive. He has bewitched several girls in the yard and they can even stage a love-hate story. The daughter, Qin Miaomiao, is the invisible person in the family. After graduating from junior high school, she has been helping with housework at home. Because of this, everyone secretly says behind the scenes that the Qin couple are cruel. Their family conditions are not bad, so why don't they let their children go to school? It's been several years since they graduated from junior high school, and there's no talk of finding a job for them. Even a temporary job would be fine. It's better than letting the children do housework at home every day.
But after all, this is someone else's family affair, and outsiders have no right to interfere.
The other family was a mother and daughter, Bai Zhenzhu and Bai Xiaohui. Though they were only two people, they were also capable individuals. The mother, Bai Zhenzhu, wept in the wind, looking so pitiful. What man could stand seeing her standing in front of others? The men from the Qin and Ren families often helped her. There was nothing wrong with that, but it was true that Bai Zhenzhu had become the public enemy of the women from these two families.
Bai Xiaohui has inherited her mother's true skills. Zheng Haicheng likes Bai Xiaohui, and Bai Xiaohui likes Qin Ziwen, but she neither expresses her feelings nor rejects Zheng Haicheng's advances. She has mastered the art of tea making and is adept at dealing with men.
However, Zheng Haicheng's sister also likes Qin Ziwen and is very dissatisfied with Bai Xiaohui's behavior of having her own thing in her own bowl. Therefore, she now dislikes her second brother very much. Qin Miaomiao from the Qin family also has a crush on Zheng Haicheng. The two heartbroken women form an alliance and often gossip about Bai Xiaohui behind her back with Qin Miaomiao.
Yu Junsheng just wanted to sigh, what a complicated love triangle!
This is a yard full of love, hate and passion!
Several families in the backyard lived peacefully, but the Jiang family was always making noise.
Old Man Jiang and Mrs. Zhong had only one child, Jin Miaomiao. Jin Miaomiao was in poor health and died before leaving behind his daughter-in-law and grandson. The old couple were generally nice, but they kept a close eye on Jin Miaomiao. Whenever their grandson cried, they would come to the house and beat and scold him. Not only did the children not dare to play with Jiang Jinbao, but even adults would avoid him for fear of being blackmailed.
Every family in the compound has many sons, and it seems that they have many children and a prosperous life. But now that they have reached the age of getting married, the problem arises: they have no place to live!
Now, the plan has been set on him.
Isn't it enviable that Yu Junsheng, a bachelor, lives in two spacious houses?
Someone came to borrow the house, saying that he couldn't live in such a big place by himself.
Yu Junsheng naturally refused to lend it, but he was afraid that some people would use crooked tactics.
Even though I'm a bit clever, I can't guarantee I'll be careless one day. After all, there's always a thief who steals for a thousand days, but there's no such thing as a thief who can't be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. Besides, I'm married after all, and with children in the future, my family will be more present and less conspicuous.
But who would have thought that even after getting married, he in the dream still couldn't avoid those calculations?
This blind date with Jiang Qiubai must be canceled, but what kind of lesbian should I look for so that I won’t be seduced by that bastard Zheng Haiyang?
Yu Junsheng didn't know that there were people who were more concerned about his marriage than he was.
At this time, a middle-aged woman and a young girl just stepped into the No. 35 slum.
