The world of film and television begins from childhood

You have to know that it was Bang Geng who tricked He Yuzhu in the beginning, and in the end it seemed as if the Jia family became the victims and He Yuzhu became the perpetrators.

By the 1990s, the third uncle had become even older, but fortunately he was in good spirits. He is now the oldest person in the courtyard, except for Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang really lived up to the saying that the evil will last for a thousand years. This old thing can be said to be one of the most evil and inhuman beasts in the courtyard, but he lives longer than anyone else.

Yi Zhonghai's wife, Aunt Yi, also passed away last year, also due to heart disease, but it can be said that she died of old age.

At Zhou Chen's home, the third uncle clinked glasses with Zhou Chen. He no longer drank from the glass in big gulps as he did before, but took small sips instead.

"I'm old. I'm really old."

"Don't say you're old. I'm almost there too. I'm in my fifties."

Yan Bugui looked at Zhou Chen's black hair and said with a smile: "With your appearance, if you go out and tell people that you are in your thirties, people will believe you. You are indeed a famous doctor. You are better at maintaining your health than the rest of us."

"I exercise every day, can you?"

"I can't do that. If I have that much time, I might as well plant some vegetables and water the flowers."

Yan Bugui smiled, then his face straightened and he said, "Yesterday, our Xie Cheng came to me and said that Xu Damao wanted to cooperate with him in foreign trade. Xie Cheng came to me to invest. Do you think it is possible?"

Xu Damao has started a business in the past two years and has done well. He claims to be engaged in foreign trade, but in fact he is engaged in smuggling.

Zhou Chen said lightly: "If you are not afraid of losing your security at the end of the day, then do it with Xu Damao."

He knew that in the TV drama, the Yan family cooperated with the Liu family and ended up losing all their money. Although this time was different, it was a more cunning Xu Damao. How could the Third Uncle's family possibly be able to outwit Xu Damao?

Yan Bugui said, "Xie Cheng said Xu Damao not only approached our family, but also Bang Geng. Bang Geng is still rich. Moreover, Xie Cheng said that Xu Damao is transporting goods from the north this time, and the profit can be several times higher, so it is a sure win."

Zhou Chen advised, "Third Uncle, if you were twenty years younger, I wouldn't have advised you, but you are already this old now, why are you still making such a fuss? I tell you, if Xu Damao keeps doing this, something bad will happen sooner or later, so don't mess around with him."

Yan Bugui remained silent. He was a typical man who was old but young at heart. He still wanted to make a lot of money, so he did not fully listen to Zhou Chen's persuasion.

Zhou Chen also saw that Yan Bugui's will was not firm, so he said a few more words. Seeing that Yan Bugui still had no intention of giving up, he stopped talking.

It was difficult to persuade the damned Gui with kind words. After all, he was just a neighbor, not a close relative. He could not force Yan Bugui to listen to him.

However, Yan Bugui's words reminded Zhou Chen that this was a way to deal with Xu Damao.

Although he had secretly dealt with Xu Damao when Xu Damao was plotting against him, more than 20 years have passed and he is not far from completing his mission, so he still wants to deal with Xu Damao again.

So for the next period of time, he stayed in the courtyard, observing the movements of Xu Damao and the third uncle's family.

In the end, Yan Bugui did not listen to him. He partnered with his eldest son Yan Jiecheng and invested in Xu Damao's business. Together with Bang Geng, the several parties raised a sum of money. Led by Xu Damao, they began to use their connections to engage in smuggling.

Maybe he felt that he was about to make a lot of money, so Yan Bugui always looked for Zhou Chen to drink these days. When he was in a good mood, he even sang a few lines for Zhou Chen, looking very proud.

Chapter 924: Tragic Bang, Jia Zhang is out of breath

"Zhou Chen, I'm telling you, I have to earn at least this much this time."

Yan Bugui was drunk. He raised his right hand towards Zhou Chen and gestured a number with a smug look on his face.

Zhou Chen shook his head after hearing this: "Uncle, don't be happy yet. Putting money in your pocket is called earning. If the money is not in your pocket, it is not your money."

Yan Bugui didn't care. He felt that the money was already a sure thing and was already his.

As long as he gets this money, he can really enjoy his life in peace. Even if his children are unfilial, he will have enough money to support himself in his old age and treat his medical illness.

"Zhou Chen, don't worry. When I get my money, I will definitely treat you to a good meal at a big restaurant."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait then."

But unfortunately, he did not get to eat this meal, because not long after that, the batch of goods that Yan Bugui and Xu Damao jointly transported was inspected and confiscated, and they were also fined. Xu Damao, Bang Geng and Yan Jiecheng, who were responsible for receiving the goods, were arrested on the spot.

When the news reached back to the courtyard, the whole courtyard was in an uproar.

"My grandson, my good grandson, my good grandson, why are you with that beast Xu Damao? Ah, my grandson..."

When Jia Zhang learned that Bang Geng was arrested, she sat on the ground and rolled around. Jia Zhang, who was over 80 years old, was really an eyesore to see her throwing a tantrum.

Although the deaf old lady would also make a fuss, she was nothing compared to Jia Zhang, because when Jia Zhang started to throw a tantrum, she really had no shame at all.

Although Qin Huairu was also sad, she was not like Jia Zhangshi, who just hid aside and wiped her tears. However, compared with her pitiful appearance back then, she was no longer even Xu Laobanniang.

The Jia family was sad and upset, and the Yan family in the front yard was not much better off.

When Yan Bugui learned that his business was over and he would lose all his money, he fainted without a sound. Fortunately, the third aunt reacted quickly and called Zhou Chen to wake him up in time.

"Ah, my savings, Zhou Chen, all my money, all my money, just gone like that, this damn Xu Damao."

Yan Bugui woke up, but he was extremely shocked and emotionally agitated. He grabbed Zhou Chen's hand and cried loudly.

Zhou Chen comforted him, "It has already happened. What's the point of thinking so much? Just think of it as spending money to buy peace of mind. Although your savings are gone, you still have your pension and your house. In the future, you two old people will not be as miserable as Liu Haizhong."

These words of comfort made the sad Yan Bugui feel very uncomfortable. Is this really a comfort?

Yan Bugui talked to Zhou Chen for a long time, but finally he couldn't bear it anymore and fell into a deep sleep.

"Zhou Chen, how is our old Yan?" the third aunt asked nervously.

Zhou Chen said: "It's nothing serious, he's just overly emotional. When he wakes up, give him some porridge or rice congee, and try to comfort him. His health is the most important thing."

"Ugh."

In fact, the third aunt was as heartbroken as Yan Bugui, but now that Yan Bugui had collapsed, she definitely couldn't collapse again, otherwise there would be no one to take care of the family.

"Third Aunt, Xu Damao is a little clever, but he is not reliable. I have advised Third Uncle before, but he didn't listen. In fact, at your age, you shouldn't take such a big risk to make money."

The three mothers sighed again. It was useless to say anything now, and they could only blame themselves for being too greedy.

This incident had a huge impact on the Siheyuan because it directly involved several families, including Xu Damao's family, the Jia family, and the Yan family father and son.

Among them, Xu Damao, Bang Geng and Yan Jiecheng, who were responsible for receiving the goods, have not been released yet. As for the goods, they have been confiscated, and they have also been notified that they will be fined.

Qin Jingru received the notice early, went to the police station to inquire about the situation, and then hurried back.

In fact, to be honest, she no longer had any feelings for Xu Damao. The reason why she was so anxious to rescue Xu Damao was for the sake of her son.

Xu Jinghua will graduate from college in two years. She doesn't want her son's future to be affected because of Xu Damao, so even if she has to pay a fine, she must rescue Xu Damao and not let him go to jail.

It's just that he had just returned to the courtyard, and before he got home, when he passed by the middle courtyard, he was stopped by Mrs. Jia Zhang.

"Qin Jingru, you little bitch, your Xu Damao, that damned one, caused our Banggeng to lose all his money and suffer a great crime. Damn it, give my Banggeng and my grandson back to me, give them back to me."

Jia Zhang held Qin Jingru tightly, her eyes glaring with anger. She was already old, and her skin was wrinkled. Now that she was angry, she looked like a demon crawling out of hell.

Qin Jingru was really frightened by Jia Zhang and was at a loss for a moment.

But at this moment, Xu Jinghua, who heard the news, just came back. Seeing Jia Zhang and a group of people surrounding his mother, he was immediately furious. He rushed over and shook off Jia Zhang's hand, protecting Qin Jingru behind him.

"Grandma Jia, what are you doing? Don't touch my mother."

Qin Jingru, who was originally very scared, suddenly had tears in her eyes when she saw her son standing up for her, and she held her son's hand tightly.

"Son, you don't understand what's going on in the courtyard. Get out of the way. I'll talk to them."

Xu Jinghua said loudly: "Mom, they all attacked you, what else can we say to them? It's not my dad's fault that Banggeng was arrested. He wanted to be in partnership with my dad, and my dad didn't force him. Now that something's wrong, why should they blame our family?"

Qin Jingru had lived there for more than 20 years and was very familiar with the situation in the Siheyuan. She felt that her son was a man who could do great things and should not be entangled by the affairs of the Siheyuan, so she didn't want her son to ask too many questions.

"Son, go back to school first. Mom will take care of your dad's affairs."

"No, Mom, I'm with you."

Xu Jinghua firmly disagreed. Such a big thing had happened in his family, and as a filial son, it was impossible for him to just stand by and watch it.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was about to throw a tantrum and cry again, Qin Huairu quickly stepped forward to stop her.

"Mom, go back and rest first. I'll tell them, Xiaodang, Huaihua, help your grandma go back quickly."

Jia Zhang wanted to make trouble again, but Xiaodang and Huaihua knew who she was, so they ignored her struggles and forcibly took her back to the house.

Qin Huairu knew very well that her mother-in-law was very good at throwing tantrums, which had a great effect on some things, but the most important thing now was to save people. It would not do them any good to let her continue to make trouble.

"Jingru, we are sisters from the same village after all. Now Banggeng and Xu Damao have been arrested. You must have a way to rescue them, right?"

Qin Jingru felt relieved when she saw Jia Zhang leave.

"Sister, I just came back from there. They said that this incident is very serious and they are still investigating. They can't release the person before the investigation is complete. But they also said that the official punishment has not been issued, but there will definitely be a fine. As for how much the fine is, they didn't say."

Qin Huairu asked anxiously: "If I pay the fine, will I be released?"

"I'm not sure either. No one told me."

Qin Jingru had no idea about the problem. She was uneducated, and no one told her in detail, only that there would be an investigation. All she knew now was that she had to raise money to pay the fine.

Xu Jinghua said, "Mom, Auntie, don't worry. I have a classmate who studies law. I will go to school to ask him and see if I can find a connection to meet my dad."

Qin Huairu was overjoyed when she heard this: "Jinghua, can you let me meet Bang Geng too?"

"I don't know if this will work, let me go and ask first."

"Okay, then go ask. Auntie is waiting for your news at home."

Xu Jinghua is the only college student in the Siheyuan, and he is studying at a prestigious university, one of the top universities in the country, so everyone in the academy respects him very much. This is also one of the reasons why Xu Damao can show off in the Siheyuan.

Xu Jinghua was still very reliable. He quickly found someone, met Xu Damao, and then began to wait.

This matter lasted for a long time, and finally Xu Damao, Bang Geng and Yan Jiecheng were all released after paying their fines.

This time they were all in a disgrace. Not only did they lose all their money, they also had to pay a lot of fines and suffered a lot in the detention center.

Stick has become a fat man over the years, but after coming out this time, he has lost a lot of weight.

What's even funnier is that after Xu Damao and Banggeng came out, Banggeng complained to Xu Damao, yelling that it was because of Xu Damao that they were so miserable. This directly angered Xu Damao, and the two of them started fighting on the spot and almost went to police again.

This incident directly caused several families to suffer a serious blow. Although they did not lose everything, they were still seriously injured, especially Xu Damao and Bang Geng, who suffered the most.

I thought that after this failure, they would be more stable in the future, but Xu Damao and Banggeng are not the kind of stable people.

When Banggeng was forty years old, he reluctantly found a divorced wife. He did not become a fool, he did not marry a widow, and he did not have to raise someone else's son.

Two years passed quickly;

Xu Damao and Bang Geng, who had just had a fight two years ago, actually teamed up again and prepared to do business with Li Huaide, the former director Li of the steel rolling mill.

I have to say that these two people are really stubborn. After losing all their money once, they still dared to do business together, and they did business with someone like Li Huaide.

The final result is self-evident. The two were cheated by Li Huaide again. Xu Damao owed a lot of debts and ran away. Banggeng even mortgaged his own courtyard house to borrow high-interest loans. Now creditors come to his door every day to demand the house.

Not long after this incident, Jia Zhang had a conflict with the debt collectors and died of anger the next day. Qin Huairu even found someone to argue with them, but the result is predictable. It was of no use. The debt collector only agreed to charge less money, but the house was still taken away.

What made Qin Huairu even more devastated was that the wife that Banggeng had finally married was already pregnant. After hearing about this, she threatened to divorce Banggeng and abort the baby.

This is the only bloodline of Banggeng and Jia family. How could Qin Huairu agree to this? She tried her best to keep him.

In the end, no one knew how she persuaded Banggeng's wife to agree not to divorce and not to beat the children, but the price was that the property certificates of the two rooms in He Yuzhu's Central Courtyard became Banggeng's wife's, and the two rooms had nothing to do with He Yuzhu anymore.

When Zhou Chen heard the news from Yan Bugui, he was stunned.

"Did He Yuzhu agree?"

Yan Bugui said exaggeratedly, "How could he not agree? Qin Huairu had him in his control, so Shazhu obediently handed over the house and now he and Qin Huairu have moved to the deaf old lady's house in the backyard. The Jia family's house has been taken away and is now being renovated, as if it is ready to be sold."

"Nubi!"

Zhou Chen gave a thumbs up. Although he had known for a long time that even without his intervention, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu's family would not have a good life, he never expected this result.

Sure enough, if you lick the dog, in the end you will have nothing!

So many years have passed, how come He Yuzhu can't see clearly at all?

"Xu Damao's family is not much better. Xu Damao is in debt and no one knows where he is now. His parents' house has been mortgaged by him. Xu Damao's father was so angry that he was admitted to the hospital. Now the old couple has nowhere to live and can only move into the courtyard and live with Qin Jingru. You didn't see that Qin Jingru has been arguing with the old couple these days."

Zhou Chen actually knew about this because Qin Jingru also found him and hoped that he could help. After all, no matter what, Xu Jinghua was his son, and he couldn't bear to see Xu Jinghua being implicated by the Xu family.

That’s right, Xu Jinghua is Zhou Chen’s son. Qin Jingru wanted to have a child to maintain her status, but Xu Damao was unable to do so, so she asked Zhou Chen for help many times.

At that time, Zhou Chen was also thinking about how to repay Xu Damao, so he went with the flow and the relationship became amicable, and then Xu Jinghua was born.

He couldn't just ignore his own son, even if he was an illegitimate one. He promised to find a way to give Xu Jinghua a good future and gave Qin Jingru a sum of money. However, Qin Jingru had to deal with the old couple of the Xu family on her own.

"Zhou Chen, you are right. We really can't be with someone like Xu Damao. I was really blinded by greed at the beginning, so I agreed to do business with him. Look at what happened to him and Bang Geng now. It's all their own fault."

Yan Bugui sighed repeatedly, saying that ever since he experienced that incident last time, he has become much more Buddhist and no longer thinks about making a lot of money. He just relies on his pension every day and lives a leisurely life with his wife. At most, he goes fishing, visits the flower and bird market, etc.

"Zhou Chen, you should be retiring soon, right?"

Zhou Chen said: "It's early, even if I retire, our hospital will hire me back, so it's still early if I want to relax."

In the world of Love in Courtyard, he never had to make any trouble from beginning to end, and just lived his life as he pleased.

His wife is good at managing the household and his two sons are filial and sensible, so he has basically not encountered any troubles over the years.
