Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

At the door of Jia's house.

When Qin Huairu heard Yi Zhonghai's words, her eyes rolled around in shock.

She had forgotten that Yi Zhonghai was not a fool like Silly Zhu, who could deceive him with just a few sweet words.

But she didn't get out of the way.

Because she already knew that the meat from Xu Damao's family was missing, and Jia Zhang had probably stolen the piece of meat.

If Yi Zhonghai really finds out Jia Zhang, it may not take long for Jia Zhang to be caught.

By then, the Jia family will be in big trouble.

Originally, the neighbors in the courtyard were dissatisfied with the Jia family because of what happened a while ago. If the Jia family steals meat again, who will still associate with their family in the future?

Qin Huairu has lost her job now and can only earn some money by working as a temporary worker every day. Bangge squats in the fence again and needs money. Jia Zhang takes painkillers every day and still needs money.

The Jia family is now unable to make ends meet, and the reason it is able to survive depends entirely on the help of the residents of the courtyard house.

Every day when it was time to eat, Qin Huairu would go to her neighbor's house to borrow food with her bowl in hand.

Although the neighbors are living a difficult life and their families don't have enough to eat, and they still have objections to the Jia family and don't want to help their family, can they really watch their family go hungry?

It was through the sympathy of their neighbors that Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang were able to have enough to eat.

But Qin Huairu understood that the neighbors would not sympathize with a thief.

As long as Jia Zhang has established her reputation as a thief, she will not be able to get any help in the compound in the future.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's aggressiveness, Qin Huairu simply gave up and said with wide eyes: "Yi Zhonghai, I have already told you that Mrs. Jia and Zhang are not at home. What's the point of you messing around here? Besides, Mrs. Jia and Zhang have nothing to do with you. No matter what the relationship is, there is no need to report to you where she went."

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect that Qin Huairu would suddenly get angry, and he was so shocked that he was speechless.

At this time, Silly Zhu saw that something was wrong. He came up from the side, licked his face and said, "Sister Xiao Qin, this is related to my reputation. You'd better call out Jia Zhang."

It stands to reason that Shazhu has been very kind to Qin Huairu over the years. He brings her lunch boxes every day and lends her money to pay her back. When Banggeng stole the chicken, Shazhu helped Banggeng out of the bag, even if some unpleasantness happened later. When Qin Huairu saw that Si Zhu was wronged, he should help.

But Qin Huairu didn't see it that way.

Over the years, Shazhu was willing to help her. That was because Shazhu was a bit stupid, and it was because Shazhu was greedy for her body.

If she doesn't bully a fool like Silly Zhu, others will.

So Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and said: "Silly Zhu, what does your reputation have to do with our family? It was obviously you who stole the pork from Xu Damao's family, and now you insist on shirking your responsibility. Who are you!"

"I didn't steal, I definitely didn't steal." Silly Zhu was about to cry.

Qin Huairu then said: "Silly Zhu, just admit it. You could steal chickens back then, but now you dare to steal meat. A man is a big man, and one person does everything for the other. If you admit it, I will respect you as a man. If you don't admit it, I will respect you as a man." , and when someone finally found out, you lost even the last bit of face."

Silly Zhu did not expect Qin Huairu to refuse so much, and gritted his teeth: "Qin Huairu, you know how I have treated you over the years, but now that things have developed to such an extent, you actually refuse to help me. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?”

"Silly Zhu, what are you talking about? You have never had anything to do with me. After my Dongxu died, I have always abided by my duty and never flirted with other men. Are you saying what you are saying now? Slander my reputation!

God, it's hard enough for me to live a life as a little widow with an old wife and three children. You still slander me like this. How do you expect me to live in the future?

Silly Zhu, Silly Zhu, do you still have any conscience? "

After finishing speaking, Qin Huairu saw that Si Zhu still did not give in. She rolled her eyes and faced the residents and said, "Everyone is an old neighbor of our Jia family and should be aware of the affairs of our Jia family.

Jia Dongxu died when I was young. At that time, the little Sophora japonica was not yet full moon, and I was only twenty-five years old.

It stands to reason that I later took over Jia Dongxu's class and got a job in the steel rolling mill, so I could get married again. In that case, not even the Jia Zhang family, not even the street office could stop me! "

The residents who were watching nodded their heads after hearing this.

"It's true. If your husband dies at a young age, you really should remarry. Liu Dahua in our front yard lost her husband at the age of 28. She married her to Jincheng. Who dares to stop her?"

"The higher authorities now advocate the emancipation of the mind, and the idea of ​​lifelong filial piety is no longer popular. Even if Mrs. Jia Zhang is unwilling, she does not dare to pull her."

"That is, there is a Women's Federation in the steel rolling mill. As long as the comrades of the Women's Federation come forward, no one dares to say no."

"Although Qin Huairu is not a good person, in this aspect, there is nothing wrong with him."

"Yes, being widowed at a young age is not a pleasant feeling. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to control that much. I would have to remarry!"

Hearing the residents' comments, Qin Huairu felt secretly happy. She would use this incident today to re-establish her personality in the courtyard and win the sympathy of the residents.

Qin Huairu continued: "But I just didn't remarry. No matter how difficult my life was, I survived. I supported Dongxu's mother and raised several children! It's easy for me, but now Silly Zhu has framed me Fighting with him is an insult to my reputation!"

In fact, Qin Huairu also considered remarrying after Jia Dongxu died.

But she is a person who is obsessed with appearance. The reason why she married Jia Dongxu back then was because Jia Dongxu was handsome (this can be seen from Yan Bugui's words about Jia Dongxu).

Yan Bugui once said that Jia Dongxu is a rare handsome young man in the courtyard. )

She was already twenty-five years old at the time, and she had three oil bottles with her. Even if she got married, she could only marry gay men who were one round older than her.

In addition, when she arrived at the man's house, Qin Huairu had to serve his family, so he couldn't live happily in a courtyard.

Of course the residents didn't know this, but when they thought about it carefully, they looked at Silly Zhu with strange eyes.

"Yeah, Qin Huairu doesn't seem to have expressed any affection for Shazhu. It's all because of Shazhu's own sentimentality."

"Silly Zhu thinks that he is a chef and can deceive Qin Huairu with small favors."

"I didn't expect Qin Huairu to be very loyal to Jia Dongxu, so Sha Zhu's plans came to nothing."

"Silly Zhu is really not a good guy."

Silly Zhu did not expect that things would change like this. Hearing this, his face changed drastically, and he hesitated and wanted to quibble.

But the residents have seen what he has done over the years, and no one is willing to listen to his explanation.

Qin Huairu's strength also exceeded Yi Zhonghai's expectations.

In the past, as the steward of the courtyard, he could have used his title as steward to force Qin Huairu to get out of the way, and then lead people to rush in and pull Jia Zhang out.

But now he is an ordinary resident and has no power to order Qin Huairu. But for the sake of Silly Zhu, Yi Zhonghai could only do his best. He stood at the door of the house and shouted: "Ms. Jia Zhang, you don't want people to know about you and me back then, do you?"

At this time, Mrs. Jia Zhang was sleeping in the back room and had no idea what was going on outside. After being awakened by Yi Zhonghai's voice, she looked quite confused.

After a while, she woke up, put on her shoes in a hurry and ran out.

When Jia Zhang saw Yi Zhonghai standing outside the door, her face turned cold. She glared at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Yi Zhonghai, you old guy, what are you talking about? You and I had nothing to do with each other back then!"

Although Jia Zhang denied what happened that year, her panicked behavior was noticed by the residents who were watching.

None of them were fools. When they related the things they had heard before, their eyes suddenly looked different when they looked at Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang.

Yi Zhonghai and Jia's family are old households in the courtyard. Old Jia is two years older than Yi Zhonghai. At that time, he was a fourth-level fitter in the steel rolling mill, while Yi Zhonghai was only a third-level fitter. Therefore, every time Yi Zhonghai saw Old Jia, he would Everyone respects Lao Jia as Brother Jia.

Lao Jia was a cheerful person and liked to take care of others. He had a good reputation in the compound, so Yi Zhonghai tried every means to have a good relationship with Lao Jia.

Yi Zhonghai has a special ability, that is, he can quickly build relationships with people.

Under his special approach, Lao Jia quickly regarded Yi Zhonghai as his biological brother. Yi Zhonghai often went to Lao Jia's house to eat and drink.

At that time, Lao Jia was already married, and his wife was Jia Zhang from Jiajiazhuang. Jia Zhang is average-looking, but because she has never done farm work since she was a child, her skin is fairer than that of ordinary girls.

In that era, there were no cosmetics. As long as a woman was whiter, she could be called a beauty.

Because Yi Zhonghai often visited Jia's house, he quickly became familiar with Jia and Zhang. Compared with Lao Jia, Yi Zhonghai was more handsome, younger, better spoken, and more attractive to women, which fascinated Jia and Zhang. Especially the last one.

Lao Jia is diligent, thrifty, and takes care of his family. He is an extremely good man, but his biggest shortcoming is that he doesn't like to talk.

Staying at home with Jia Zhang, sometimes he couldn't say a word for the entire day.

At that time, Mrs. Jia Zhang was still a little girl, how could she bear this, so Mrs. Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai got closer and closer.

In these days, everyone lives in the same compound, and the residents are very close to each other. It is difficult to hide the affairs between Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai from the eyes of interested people.

Taking into account that Lao Jia was an honest man and knew Jia Zhang's temperament, the big guy did not talk about Jia Zhang behind his back, but secretly told Lao Jia about the matter.

Who would have thought that Lao Jia was a simple and honest man, and he didn't believe that Jia Zhang would betray him at all.

In Lao Jia's eyes, Jia Zhang is the kind of simple rural girl who has never spoken to a few men in her life. Every time she meets a man to strike up a conversation, she blushes with shame.

What's more, Yi Zhonghai is still his good brother.

The two of them had eaten in the same lunch box and drank wine together. How could Yi Zhonghai get involved with his wife?

Seeing that Lao Jia was so dull, the residents had no choice but to watch Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai fight with each other after repeated persuasion.

Later, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang seemed to notice other people's strange looks, and they became cautious from then on.

Later, Jia Zhang became pregnant and gave birth to Jia Dongxu.

When Jia Dongxu came of age, Lao Jia suddenly died in an accident in the workshop. At that time, everyone thought it was too coincidental and felt that there was something wrong behind the incident.

But at that time, Yi Zhonghai had already become an eighth-level fitter and a big boss in the courtyard, so the big guys didn't dare to talk behind his back.

This incident was gradually forgotten by the residents.

Now after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said just now and seeing Jia Zhang's performance, everyone remembered these things.

"Could it be that Jia Zhang was really related to Yi Zhonghai back then?"

"It should be like this. Didn't you see how guilty Jia Zhang was just now? If there is no evil in her heart, is there any need to feel guilty?"

"Yes, it's hard for someone like Jia Zhang to feel guilty. She can take the meat from other people's mouths without any guilt."

"Let me see, maybe Lao Jia was killed by two people back then."

Amidst the discussion among the residents, Yi Zhonghai's heart was in his throat. He never thought that in order to provoke Jia Zhang out, he would expose the past events.

If the residents are allowed to pursue him any longer, the things he did in the past may come to light.

So Yi Zhonghai quickly waved his hand and interrupted the residents' discussion: "Everyone, everyone, please be quiet. What we have to do now is to clarify the matter of Silly Zhu stealing meat. Don't talk about it. After all, Comrade Xu Damao is still waiting for pork!"

Hearing this, Xu Damao waved his hands and said with a smile: "Yi Zhonghai, don't worry, I really want to know if you and Jia Zhang had an affair back then."

Yi Zhonghai was speechless immediately. Although Jia Zhang didn't know what happened, she was so angry that she took off her smelly cotton shoes and was about to throw them in Xu Damao's face.

"Xu Damao, you thief, how dare you laugh at my old lady, see if I don't take care of you!"

Although Xu Damao was shouting loudly, he was a coward. Within a few minutes, he started to raise his hands and beg for mercy.

"Jia Zhang, what are you doing, what are you doing!"

Seeing Jia Zhang sweeping Xu Damao, Yi Zhonghai felt a pity in his heart.

It stands to reason that Jia Zhang is also a fierce general. If it weren't for the purpose of helping Fuzhu get away with the crime, he would really be reluctant to send Jia Zhang in.

Of course, it's not his fault, but it's because Jia Zhang is too old and an old woman, so she has no way to help him take care of himself in old age.

Seeing that everyone's attention had been attracted, Yi Zhonghai knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer.

He looked at Jia Zhang with a cold face and said, "Jia Zhang, where have you been today?"

It has to be said that Yi Zhonghai is still a chicken thief and has not directly asked Jia Zhang whether he stole Xu Damao's meat.

Instead, he asked Jia Zhang from the side.

Jia Zhang was a little confused when asked, and frowned and said, "Yi Zhonghai, what do you mean?"
