The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 3 Foreign Aid
A bride price of 15 yuan. The Li family is really generous, the residents complained.

Life in the countryside is hard these days.

For the bare-bones in the city who can't find a wife, marry the most beautiful girl in the commune, at most they will give two catties of fine white flour and two feet of floral cloth.

"Then I'm at your Li's house. After busy work, I've taken care of you two for several months without any wages. You are more ruthless than Huang Shiren!"

Qin Huairu bit her red lips and said, "Even if I work in the commune for a day, I can still get five work points!"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Qin Huairu felt a little regretful, and her face became even paler.

Everyone's gazes fell on Jia Dongxu, and Jia Dongxu's face became hot and red.

Everyone knows that after Qin Huairu got engaged to Li Aiguo, she moved to live with Li's family.

The Li family has two rooms in total, one for Li's father and one for Li Aiguo.

Qin Huairu lives in Li Aiguo's house, but the middle is separated by a cotton curtain.

The two were at the young age, and the cotton curtain seemed too thin, so no one would be surprised even if something happened.

"Snapped!"

The mocking, sarcastic gaze, like a knife, pierced Rang Jia Dongxu's chest.

Jia Dongxu felt that his face was lost by Qin Huairu, so he stood up and threw out a big pussy bag.

Qin Huairu covered her face, tears overflowed from her eyes, her shoulders trembled and sobbed, "Dongxu, I'm really not sorry, nothing happened to me and Li Aiguo back then, when we got married, didn't you also check it?"

Seeing Qin Huairu's pitiful and lovely look, Shazhu felt distressed for a while.

Rao was lying on the side of the bed unable to stand up, still raised his head and stared at Jia Dongxu: "Jia Dongxu, what are you doing, sister Xiaoqin is such a good person, you are willing to beat her!"

Jia Dongxu calmed down, thinking that on the night of the wedding, he did see plum blossoms, and felt that Li Aiguo had played him.

Turning around, trying to vent out the anger in my heart.

But thinking of the miserable situation of Shazhu just now, he shrank his neck and sat down.

Useless things. The Jia Zhang family didn't want to see Qin Huairu at all.

But this matter is about a dozen dollars.

"Li Aiguo, you heard my daughter-in-law's words, how do you settle the bill?"

"Okay, Qin Huairu took care of me very comfortably back then. I will charge her a high price, five yuan for two months, and get rid of those cotton cloths, hot water bottles, etc., only 15 yuan."

Li Aiguo looked around at the big guys: "What do you think?"

The big guys suppressed their smiles and nodded, "Five yuan for two months is quite a lot, and the work points in the commune are worthless. Qin Huairu worked hard in the fields for a year, and he couldn't earn five yuan."

"Then Qin Huairu still owes me 15 yuan. Please pay me back immediately." Li Aiguo strode into the house.

"No money! Our family has no money, what can you do!"

Seeing that reasoning is no match for Jia Zhang, he skillfully plays the rogue.

Li Aiguo is now alone, with no father, no mother, no brother, no brother, and is weak.

And the Jia family has Jia Dongxu and the care of the elder.

Li Aiguo is definitely not the Jia family's opponent.

Jia Zhang made wishful thinking, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Suddenly, a serious voice came from outside the door.

"It's only natural to pay back debts. Now it's a new society. No one is allowed to rely on the strong to bully the weak in our neighborhood."

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Director Wang from the Sub-district Office walking over with his hands behind his back.

Behind her was Yan Jiefang from the Yan family, and an old man with gray hair.

Yan Jiefang was only five or six years old at this time. He trotted all the way to Li Aiguo, stretched out his little hand, and puffed up his cheeks: "Brother Aiguo, what about the money you promised me?"

"It's great to liberate you!"

Li Aiguo took out a dime from his pocket and put it in Yan Jiefang's palm.

Yan Jiefang took the money, giggled and ran out.

Yan Bugui was jealous.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Director Wang coming in, his heart shivered, and he stood up to meet him.

"Director, I want to do a self-criticism. As the grand master of the courtyard house, I am deeply ashamed for failing to manage the courtyard house well and living up to your expectations."

Hearing this, the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Bugui also stood up, drooping their heads, as if they were being trained.

"Old Yi, back then our neighborhood chose you guys to be the stewards because we thought you had high prestige, could unite the masses, and strictly prevent enemy agents from infiltrating."

Director Wang frowned: "I didn't ask you to interfere in the private affairs of the residents. What's wrong with you?"

"This..." Yi Zhonghai broke into a cold sweat.

He and Director Wang are old friends, and Director Wang has never reprimanded him in this tone.

Could it be that Yi Zhonghai cast his eyes on the old man behind Director Wang.

The old man has gray hair, wears a dark blue railway uniform, and the five-pointed star of the "Road Emblem" logo is embellished on the worker's cap.

The old man entered the house and walked straight up to Li Aiguo. Seeing Li Aiguo's emaciated appearance, his expression was a little moved: "Aiguo, you child, you have suffered such a great grievance, why didn't you tell your uncle! Your father and I are brothers in worship. If your father hadn't kicked me off the driver's building back then, my old bones would have been buried in the loess long ago."

At this time, Li Aiguo found the old man's identity information in the original owner's memory.

The old man was a colleague of Li Aiguo's father, and his name was Zhou Tiehu.

At that time, Li Aiguo's father was the driver and the old man was the co-driver.

In that tragic accident, Li's father saved Zhou Tiehu's life when the train was about to derail.

After the accident, Zhou Tiehu was grateful for Li's father's life-saving grace, and offered money several times to repay Li's father, but was rejected by the stubborn Li father.

Director Wang pointed to Zhou Tiehu and introduced him to Yi Zhonghai: "This is the train commander Zhou of the SJS depot of the Beijing Railway Bureau. He is also a close friend of Li Aiguo's father during his lifetime. After learning that Li Aiguo is not doing well, he deliberately found our street office."

Her tone became severe, and her sharp eyes pierced Jia Zhang's:
"Li Aiguo's father died to save state property.

Be a hero.

The railway department once sent a commendation letter to our street office, asking us to take good care of Comrade Li Aiguo's life.

You guys feel that Li Aiguo has lost his support, and make things difficult for him everywhere.

Your actions are discrediting the courtyard house and the street office! "

Hearing this, everyone present lowered their heads, Jia Zhang's face turned pale, and the corners of his mouth trembled.

"Ha ha."

Yi Zhonghai smiled awkwardly, stared at Jia Zhang and said, "Aunt Jia, Qin Huairu owes the Li family money, and she is your daughter-in-law now, you should take out the money."

"You must be with Li Aiguo, a little bastard, to bully me, a widow!" Jia Zhang was not reconciled.

"Jia Zhang, don't mess around!" Yi Zhonghai frowned.

The crying stopped abruptly.

Jia Zhang also counted on Yi Zhonghai to take care of Jia Dongxu, but at this time he did not dare to confront Yi Zhonghai, so he could only dig out 15 yuan from the cabinet and hand it to Li Aiguo.

Seeing Li Aiguo put the money into her pocket, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Damn Li Aiguo, dare to blackmail our Jia family.

This account will be recovered sooner or later!
