Only Yi Zhonghai's family, Liu Haizhong's family, Jia's family, and a few other families who failed to pass the qualification examination were left in the courtyard.
These families are the kind of people who make trouble out of nothing and like to cause trouble for others.
Now that the residents are gone, they seem a little lonely without rivals.
The courtyard was immersed in silence all day long.
This kind of silence makes residents in surrounding compounds feel a little uncomfortable.
In this era when entertainment is scarce, they all look to the lively happenings in the courtyard to live their lives.
Now no one is making trouble in the courtyard, and they don't even enjoy eating anymore.
Fortunately, this situation was broken with the appearance of a fat figure.
This person is none other than Jia Zhang, who eloped with Liu Erdan a while ago.
It stands to reason that Liu Erdan was Jia Zhang's best friend when they were young. Their love was as high as the sky and their love was deeper than the ocean. After overcoming so many hardships, they were finally able to be together, and Jia and Zhang were able to live a happy life.
It's just that Jia Zhang's current state seems to be wrong. She is wearing a tattered cotton-padded jacket, her unkempt hair is covered with weeds and straw, her face is red and blue, and her hands are sore from the cold.
Even my figure seems to have lost weight.
If it weren't for her slanted triangular eyes that always burst out with a vicious light, Ma Er, who lived in the front yard, really wouldn't have recognized her.
Ma Er had just gotten up and was carrying the toilet to go to the toilet. When he saw Mrs. Jia Zhang coming in, he was so frightened that he froze and he couldn't help but let go of his hands.
"Plop"
The toilet fell to the ground, which woke him up.
Ma Er ignored the nearly broken toilet and walked up to Jia Zhang with a look of disbelief on his face: "Jia, sister-in-law of the Jia family, how did you become like this?"
Jia Zhang originally wanted to sneak into the courtyard secretly, but after being stopped by Ma Er, the plan was completely ruined. Her face suddenly darkened: "Ma Er, you should think about how to get a wife, there are so many things to control!"
"You, you..." Ma Er was so stupid that he blushed and had a thick nose.
He is nearly fifty years old this year. Due to his family background and lack of diligence, he has not been able to get married.
This was his lifelong pain, and it was poked open by Jia Zhang, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Jia Zhang, what are you talking about? It's none of your business whether I get married or not! You are really interesting. I care about you with good intentions, but you laugh at me in return!"
"Oh, please keep your voice down." Jia Zhang said hurriedly.
Unfortunately, it was already too late. Ma Er was born with a loud voice, and his voice spread throughout several surrounding compounds.
The residents of those courtyards were missing the excitement of the courtyard. When they heard the noise, they suddenly became excited and came to the courtyard with their rice bowls to watch the excitement.
"Hey, isn't this Jia Zhang's family?"
"I seemed to have eloped with someone a while ago. Why are you back? Are you here to visit relatives?"
"Why are you visiting relatives? I didn't see Mrs. Jia Zhang in rags. She must have had a bad life and escaped back."
"That's right, who would want a decent and lazy woman like Jia Zhang?"
The masses originally had no good impression of Jia and Zhang, but now that they see Jia and Zhang in trouble, they are naturally not polite.
Those cynicisms were like sharp knives piercing Jia Zhang's chest, making her almost breathless.
In the past, Mrs. Jia Zhang must have scolded those people bloody, but this time she came back and wanted to return to the Jia family. She needed to rely on these residents and not offend them too much.
Jia Zhang saw more and more people and felt that the time had come.
The muscles on her face were filled with sadness, pity, sadness...
Jia Zhang slapped her thigh violently and burst into tears.
The crowd was all bewildered. Why was an old lady in her fifties crying like a child?
A kind-hearted aunt stepped forward, took Ms. Jia Zhang's arm, and asked, "Sister, what happened? Don't cry. If there is any problem, let's solve it together."
Jia Zhang was overjoyed, her expression remained unchanged, and she wiped her tears and said, "Sister Zhang, I was deceived! That Liu Erdan, he is actually a big liar, he defrauded me of all my money.
He even tricked me into taking away my cotton-padded jacket and trousers. He only made me drink stick noodle porridge every day, and he often beat me. It took me a lot of energy to run back."
Some people had already expected this outcome. After all, only liars could satisfy Jia Zhang's demands.
Some people felt that Jia and Zhang were pitiful.
Although Jia Zhang has done so many bad things, she is still a resident of the courtyard and the in-laws of Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu can't ignore Jia Zhang, right?
The old lady of the Zhang family looked at her son: "Liberation, go and tell Qin Huairu about Jia Zhang's return, and ask Qin Huairu to take Jia Zhang back."
"okay!"
...
In Jia's house, Qin Huairu is sleeping in. Since most of the residents in the compound have left, she has also lost her blood-sucking partners and her life has lost its fun. Now her biggest hobby is sleeping in.
"What? Jia Zhang is back!"
When Qin Huairu heard Zhang Jiefang's words, her heart suddenly shook, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the back of her head.
She has suffered for so many years and persisted for so many years before she was afraid that Jia Zhang would leave. Why did she come back?
Now Jia and Zhang can't make money, and they still look for trouble all day long and take painkillers, which is of no use to the Jia family and Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu wished she could never see Jia Zhang again in her life.
"Yes, I heard that she was deceived by Liu Erdan. She looks very pitiful. Go and get her back quickly!" Zhang Jiefang said.
"Take it back? Why do you want to take it back? When Jia Zhang left, she was no longer a member of our Jia family!"
Qin Huairu closed the door directly.
She will not bring back such an old godly woman who is always looking for trouble!
Zhang Jiefang had no choice but to tell the elder sister of the Zhang family what Qin Huairu meant.
When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard that Qin Huairu didn't accept her, her eyes rolled around and she squatted on the ground.
"Unfilial, very unfilial! Dongxu, please open your eyes quickly and see that your good wife has kicked your mother out of the house."
"What evil have I done in my life to let my son marry such an unfilial daughter-in-law?"
"Everyone has watched Dongxu grow up, you have to make the decision with me."
Mrs. Jia Zhang knew very well that now she had no money and no food supply. If Qin Huairu did not take her back, she would have no choice but to be driven back to Jiajiazhuang.
Jia Zhang has enjoyed life all his life, how could he go back to farm work?
When the people saw Jia Zhang's behavior, they did not take it seriously. After all, Jia Zhang had gone too far.
I heard that when he eloped with Liu Erdan, he also took away all the Jia family's savings.
Qin Huairu's approach is understandable.
However, we cannot force Jia Zhang to death just in front of her eyes.
Finally, it was Zhang's elder sister who came up with an idea: "Let's ask the comrades from the street office to resolve this matter."
"Yes, yes...go ask Director Wang." Jia Zhang became excited after hearing this.
Qin Huairu can disobey her, but she dare not disobey Director Wang of the Street Office.
Otherwise, Director Wang would have the right to expel Qin Huairu from the courtyard.
Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office also had a headache when he heard that Mrs. Jia Zhang was back. Now that Mrs. Jia Zhang was away, the courtyard was much quieter.
If possible, she also hopes that Jia Zhang will never come back.
However, as the director of the subdistrict office, she cannot just watch people in her jurisdiction become homeless.
After learning that Ms. Jia Zhang had been deceived, Director Wang of the sub-district office took Ms. Jia Zhang to the police station and asked the police comrades to write a record for her.
Looking at Mrs. Jia Zhang in the interrogation room, Director Wang walked up to Director Gong and asked in a low voice: "Old Gong, Mrs. Jia Zhang has provided a lot of clues. When will you catch that Liu Erdan?"
"You also know that Jia Zhang brought a lot of money with her. If she doesn't get that money back, Qin Huairu will definitely not accept her."
Director Gong frowned: "I have heard of Liu Erdan's name. He is a well-known rogue in the suburbs of Beijing. He makes a living through petty theft and has been dealt with by us before. As long as he does not leave the capital, we will definitely be able to
Get him back."
"But don't even think about getting back the money. Liu Erdan likes gambling very much. I've probably lost all the money long ago."
"Don't worry, we will do our best."
After listening to Director Gong's words, Director Wang's heart dropped.
There is no way.
We can only place Jia and Zhang in the sub-district office first.
Let her follow the street office style and eat a big pot of rice, and then ride her bicycle to the courtyard.
At this time, Qin Huairu heard the noise outside disappear and thought that Jia Zhang had left and was about to go out to buy groceries.
The two collided face to face.
Seeing Director Wang from the subdistrict office, Qin Huairu turned around and wanted to go back to the house.
"Qin Huairu! What's your attitude!"
Director Wang shouted angrily and called Qin Huairu back.
Qin Huairu smiled awkwardly: "It's Director Wang. You seem to be a lot younger. I didn't recognize you just now. I was just thinking about going back to the house to get some money to buy groceries!"
Director Wang knew that Qin Huairu did it on purpose, so she did not pursue it. She walked up to Qin Huairu, stared into Qin Huairu's eyes and said.
"Comrade Qin Huairu, you should know about Jia Zhang's return, right?"
"I know, how could you not know that she was making a lot of noise early in the morning?" Qin Huairu puffed up her chest: "However, Mrs. Jia Zhang has nothing to do with me now. She eloped with a wild man and lost the face of our Jia family.
He is gone. He is no longer a member of our Jia family."
Director Wang frowned and said, "Jia Zhang was deceived this time. She just went to the police station to file a complaint. The money she took away may be recovered."
"Can we bring her back?" A hint of emotion flashed in Qin Huairu's eyes, and then her expression became firm again: "So what if she is brought back? Jia Zhang is no longer a member of our Jia family, and her affairs have nothing to do with our Jia family.
.”
Qin Huairu thought clearly, and she was more inclined to drive Jia Zhang away than to get the few hundred dollars that Jia Zhang took away.
Director Wang did not expect that Qin Huairu, who had always been greedy for money, would be so clear-headed. He thought for a moment, sighed and said: "Comrade Qin Huairu, I can understand your grievance, but Jia Zhang and Liu Erdan did not go through the marriage formalities at that time.
She is still on the household registration page of Lao Jia’s family, which means that legally speaking, Jia and Zhang are still members of your Lao Jia family.”
"But she..."
"Comrade Qin Huairu, don't worry, listen to me first."
Director Wang interrupted Qin Huairu, and then said: "Jia Zhang has indeed gone too far this time. I understand your feelings, but if you only focus on driving Jia Zhang away, it is indeed unfilial. You also know that the superiors are now
If you advocate respecting the elderly and loving the young, your behavior will be criticized."
.....Criticism, I don’t want to be criticized. Qin Huairu bit the bullet and said: "Director, you also know the current situation of our family. I am now a temporary worker in the poverty alleviation workshop, and I can only earn less than ten yuan a month.
We only have 1 yuan and Banggeng has no formal job. Our life is almost unbearable. If Mrs. Jia and Zhang come back, we will have another pair of fast children in the family. How do you expect us to survive?"
"This is a troublesome thing..."
Director Wang knew that Qin Huairu could only get so little salary every month because of laziness, but it was meaningless to discuss this at this time.
How to solve the Jia family's dilemma and allow Qin Huairu to successfully accept the Jia Zhang family is the serious matter.
Director Wang racked his brains and finally came up with a good idea.
"Now the textile factory has begun to recruit workers. I remember that Xiaodang is old enough. There are five places in our street. If you let Jia Zhang come back, I can consider allocating one of the places to Xiaodang."
Textile factories are the most popular factories these days. The work is not tiring and the wages are high. At the end of the year, you can even distribute some cloth, which can be exchanged for a lot of money at the pigeon market.
Since it is so popular, the quota is extremely valuable, and the requirements are also high. Generally, the requirement is to graduate from a junior high school.
When I was young, I went to junior high school, but I just didn't live in a serious way. I often followed the young people on the street and fooled around. As a result, I didn't even get a diploma.
Qin Huairu was worrying about Xiaodang's work. When she heard Director Wang's words, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh, Director Wang, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"Jia Zhang is Dongxu's mother, and I, Qin Huairu, am the mother. I, Qin Huairu, are the most filial. Even if I don't eat or drink, I still have to let Jia Zhang be fed."
"When can Xiaodang go to work?"
Director Wang: "..."
After being the director of the subdistrict office for so many years, she has seen a lot of shameless people, but she has never encountered someone like Qin Huairu.
"I can help Xiaodang go through the formalities when I get back." Director Wang said while suppressing his nausea.
"Okay, when you finish the formalities for Xiaodang, I will bring Jia Zhang back when you read the book."
After Qin Huairu finished speaking, he added: "If the comrades from the police station really catch Liu Erdan and recover the money that Jia Zhang was defrauded from, that money will belong to me, Qin Huairu."
Director Wang: "..."
She felt that she had underestimated Qin Huairu's shamelessness just now.
but.
Director Wang does not regret his decision.
Xiaodang is also known as a troubled young woman on the street. She hangs out on the street all day long, and something will happen to her one day.
When she joins a textile factory, she will be able to work steadily and have a good future in the future to avoid becoming like Qin Huairu.
As the director of the subdistrict office, her mission is to make the lives of the people in the neighborhood better and to help the residents who have gone astray get on the right path.
