Restarting life in Siheyuan

"Old Four, tell me, what's going on in the factory now?"

The brother and sister decided on the follow-up study arrangements for the younger sister, and then the fourth brother came back.

"Brother,..." The fourth brother was also a little excited when he saw the eldest brother, and talked incessantly about the changes in the factory.

"You didn't participate, did you?"

The fourth brother looked at Zhu Xuemei and said, "Sister repeatedly told me to stay away from you, but I always stayed away."

Zhu Xuefeng nodded and said that this was good.

"Have you met your former Director Yang?"

The fourth one nodded, "He's pretty good. Basically no one bothers him."

Lao Si was helped into the job by Lao Yang. Although he was taking over according to the quota, Lao Si would definitely not have been able to enter the steel rolling mill without Lao Yang's help. Lao Si was well aware of this and always secretly helped protect Lao Yang, which made Zhu Xuefeng very pleased.

"Well, well done. Pay more attention to things and don't let Old Yang suffer."

After learning about several other close leaders, Zhu Xuefeng sighed.

"Where is the Security Department?" Zhu Xuefeng was most concerned about who was holding the gun now.

"I don't know about this."

The fourth child is just a small worker, so it's normal that he doesn't know. The Security Department is not simple, with multi-polar management. The key still depends on what Director Ma thinks.

Liu Haizhong is quite interesting. Not only did he replace Yi Zhonghai, he is also considered the top figure in the steel rolling mill now. That’s incredible.

There was a slight knock at the door, and a face squeezed in. It was Sha Zhu, "Brother, you're back."

"Brother Zhuzi, if you have something to say, come in and tell me. What's the use of waiting at the door?"

Sha Zhu squeezed in with a figure, looked outside carefully, and closed the door gently.

"Why are you acting like a thief? Come sit down quickly, and sister-in-law should sit down too."

The younger sister also greeted Lou Xiao'e warmly, and it could be seen that Lou Xiao'e was a little nervous.

"Little sister, make some tea. Old Four, watch the door. I want to talk to your brother Zhuzi and sister-in-law."

The younger brothers and sisters were well-behaved. When they saw their eldest brother bringing people into the inner room, they did not disturb him but made tea and stayed outside.

"Brother, is it done?" As soon as the door was closed, Sha Zhu opened his mouth hurriedly, and Lou Xiao'e also had an expectant look on his face.

"The stuff was delivered, but Master Lou didn't go to the contact point as we agreed. I didn't dare stay any longer, so I left the stuff behind and asked someone to look for Master Lou."

Lou Xiao'e burst into tears, and Sha Zhu quickly comforted her in a low voice, "E'e, your parents are blessed by fate, nothing will happen to them."

It turned out that there was no news that Mr. Lou had arrived safely. Lou Xiao'e had been worried about her parents. Now when she heard that Zhu Xuefeng had not been met either, she could no longer bear it.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. This road is not like before. It is crowded now. It is normal for Master Lou and his men to be delayed on the road. Master Lou has been a man for a lifetime, so he will be fine. In my opinion, if we wait a little longer, we will definitely get news."

"By the way, the bank over there appraised the value of your parents' wealth and it's worth 512 million US dollars. I'll give it to him when I find Mr. Lou."

Faced with such a huge fortune, Lou Xiao'e only responded absentmindedly, completely losing her usual shrewdness and looking distraught. Zhu Xuefeng sighed and was about to send his sister over. If there was nothing else, he could stay for a few more days to look for Master Lou.

"Brother Zhuzi, looking at the way you two looked just now, is someone targeting you?" Lou Xiao'e's current identity was very conspicuous, and Zhu Xuefeng was a little worried.

"Damn it, there are people who just can't stand seeing me doing well. I heard that the bastard is planning to deal with me. Damn it, last time I did something for him, he was still fawning on me and asking an old man to mediate, but only a few years later, he's already jumping up and down again, acting so arrogant. Bah."

Sha Zhu opened his mouth and cursed angrily. Sha Zhu felt like a lamb to be slaughtered. As long as the knife didn't fall, he would feel uneasy and very uncomfortable.

"Who told you they were going to deal with you?"

Sha Zhu looked at the closed door again and said, "Who else could it be? Yan Jiecheng from the backyard."

"Yan Jiecheng?"

Sha Zhu nodded, "He's been hanging around Liu Hai every day now. I gave him half a portion of braised pork and half a catty of white wine. After two glasses, he talked freely, saying that the old man was thinking about it."

Looking at Sha Zhu who was gritting his teeth again, Sha Zhu was quite clever. "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will go there again in a while, don't worry, I will definitely find your parents." Seeing that Lou Xiao'e was no longer crying but still looked worried, Zhu Xuefeng comforted her.

"That's right, Ezi, you don't know how capable your parents are. Your dad was able to create such a big business, so he must be very capable. Now Brother Zhu has to make another special trip, what are you worried about? Let's not disturb Brother Zhu's rest, let's go back and discuss it."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, stood up and said thank you.

Seeing the couple acting like thieves, carefully spying and leaving, Zhu Xuefeng smiled bitterly. The old man opposite was watching them through the window in the dark.

"Xiao Zhu is back again, why didn't you go and say hello?" The third aunt asked behind him, and the third uncle shook his head. (Still calling him by the old name)
"Let Xiao Si keep some distance from their family for the time being."

"That's right, Boss, I said that Liu Haizhong wants to deal with Sha Zhu, is that true?"

"Of course you're right. Didn't you hear what the old man said at the last meeting of the whole institute? He said he wanted to respond to the call."

"I don't think this Liu Haizhong is a good guy." The third aunt muttered quietly, afraid that the children would hear.

"You should take good care of the fourth child these days. Don't let her follow suit and make trouble. Don't learn from the two people in the Liu family."

The third uncle whispered something and the third aunt nodded. The two sons in the bangs are now the same as their father.

"Old man, how are you, are you okay?"

The third uncle just twitched his mouth and did not answer.

Seeing Sha Zhu and his wife go home, Jia Zhang from the middle courtyard also asked Qin Huairu in a low voice, "I want to ask the child's mother, what is the current market situation? Can we..."

Jia Zhang said, pointing to the Zhu family in the front yard, "They have been eating and drinking well in the past few years, especially that little girl, who changes into new clothes every now and then. She is not a good person, and has led the other girls in the compound astray. Do you think this is okay?"

Jia Zhang was a woman of little experience. She looked up at Qin Huairu. She was a little unsure about all this. Now that she heard that Liu Hai had the potential to deal with Sha Zhu, she became more interested. The old Zhu family was like a huge rock, pressing down on her. It was so uncomfortable. She had suffered such a great loss from the old Zhu family. Now that she had a chance, she had to get it back. She didn't know if she could start with Zhu Xuemei.

Qin Huairu was a little hesitant. She knew that Liu Haizhong wanted to deal with Sha Zhu, but she didn't express her opinion. She didn't want to offend the Zhu family. Although Li Huaide said that he had Zhu Xuefeng's little secret, she still didn't want to provoke them.

"Mom, if we can't see clearly, don't get involved. You've suffered a few times, but you still don't learn your lesson. It's been 30 years since the beginning, who knows what the future will be like? This family now has three boys and one girl, all of them are very good at fighting. If you provoke them, they won't be able to attack you. Seeking revenge on Banggeng will have no good results. You only have this one grandson, you don't want anything to happen to Banggeng, do you?"

When it comes to Banggeng, Jia Zhang feels downcast and even more resentful. Banggeng is now in school, and all the little things his father did to steal have been exposed. No one pays any attention to him, or a group of kids bully him. Banggeng is always wandering around the streets under the guise of going to school, and Jia Zhang has run into him several times when she went out for a snack. It seems that her grandson is very close to a few alley urchins.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law did not support her, Jia Zhang seemed a little uninterested for a moment, "I know, it's late, I'm going to bed first."

After verbally perfunctorily answering Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang climbed onto the bed and covered herself with the quilt, but her mind was still full of thoughts about whether there was a chance to take revenge. She had to take revenge! She had been locked up in the kiln for three years and had suffered so much. The most important thing was that the fat she had accumulated for decades was gone. She had to get rid of this bad temper. She had no chance before and could only endure it. Now...
Qin Huairu didn't know that Jia Zhang was still thinking about it. When she saw her mother-in-law lying down, she got up and left her mother-in-law's room with the mended cloth socks. The cloth socks were made of sewed cloth, and the sewed cloth socks had two holes in the front. She couldn't wear them without mending them.

Banggeng, who was sitting on the kang, saw his mother coming and quickly hid the thing in his hand and pretended to coax his two sisters to sleep. The two little girls listened to his advice. As soon as Banggeng said it was time to go to sleep, the two little ones quickly lay down and closed their eyes and stopped tossing and turning. Banggeng glanced at his two obedient sisters, an expression in his eyes that did not match his age emerged. He was stunned for a moment, then tucked in the quilt for his two sisters.

"Banggeng, you should go to sleep too. They are both so old, they don't need to be coaxed." Qin Huairu said a few words without raising her head, and walked towards the small table with a small dustpan filled with needles and thread. There was a light bulb on the small table, so the light was better.

"Mom, you go to sleep too. I still have socks to wear." Banggeng watched his mother mending his socks under the dim light. Thinking of how he had tried every possible means to make two holes in his socks in order to get a new pair of socks, he suddenly felt a little guilty and called out to her softly.

Qin Huairu was very relieved to see her son understand her. Banggeng had finally grown up. She should wait a little longer. When her son is older, she should be less worried. It would not be in vain for all her hard work over the years. She smiled and said, "Banggeng, you go to bed first. I will mend your socks before you go to bed. These socks are fine in every way and very sturdy. After I mend these two holes, you can wear them for another three years without any problem."

Banggeng's mouth twitched. He would rather wear them for another three years than die. His mother wouldn't let him change his socks even though they were in this condition. Fortunately, he could get money to buy new ones. He had made some money by following the alley urchins around these days. His mother couldn't bear to part with him, so he bought them with his own money.

Under the light, Qin Huairu used the scissors to cut another small piece of cloth, marked it on the socks a few times, trimmed it twice more with the scissors, and began to mend the second hole, but she was thinking about what happened today.

A while ago, the damn straight-forward man asked for a child again. Qin Huairu simply told him that she couldn't have one. She had an IUD inserted in the morning, but the man secretly arranged for her to have it removed. The doctor's words and the rusty IUD made Qin Huairu feel a little cold. It turned out that her health problems in recent years were all related to this damn little thing.

After a while, under the careful care of the straight intestines, these problems are gone. Now I feel relaxed all over, and no longer have the feeling of falling. Thinking of this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but glance at her mother-in-law's room, feeling a little resentful. It was all because of this mother-in-law. She had suffered for several years.

Now she is the section chief and the deputy director of the guesthouse, but the director has been transferred and she has the final say in the guesthouse. The man has fulfilled his promise, but should she have a child for him? Looking at the three children on the kang, Qin Huairu hesitated.

Although Li Huaide said that he could arrange it, and he was indeed very powerful in the steel mill, having a child was not a trivial matter. Although Li Huaide had done a lot and helped her to get rid of all the problems, Qin Huairu was still a little undecided. As long as her stomach moved, she could not stay in this yard, otherwise the gossip would drown her. But if she accepted Li Huaide's advice, there would be no one to take care of the family. Who would take care of the three children? The mother-in-law was definitely unreliable. By the way, she had to hide it from her first. Although the mother-in-law had a lot of problems, her brain was not confused. It was not easy to hide it easily. Thinking of Li Huaide, Qin Huairu had a backbone again. If it didn't work, she should give her a few dollars of pension money.

Thinking of Li Huaide, Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel a little flushed. He was not a child anymore, but he still had so many weird ways to play. It seemed more satisfying than playing with a dead ghost. She was distracted for a moment, and the needle in her hand stabbed her mercilessly. Qin Huairu cried out softly, and quickly put her finger into her mouth and sucked it. The faint smell of blood filled her mouth. At this moment, Qin Huairu didn't know that her eyes were full of spring and her lips were smiling.

"You can't keep the man without giving up the child! I'll go all out." Qin Huairu made up her mind at this moment and took a gamble. If she could get him to divorce, her life would be even better. He is now very popular in the steel rolling mill. Qin Huairu is fascinated by his aura. He looks like a real man. He is very imposing when he can command the attention of everyone. If she can marry him uprightly, her life in the future will be better...

"Mom, what's wrong with your finger?"

"It's okay, Mom accidentally stabbed herself, go to sleep quickly and don't wake up your sister."

"Mom, we didn't fall asleep either. Mom, you should get on the kang too. My sister and I like to hold you while we sleep." Xiao Dang also opened his eyes and turned his head to look at Qin Huairu. (End of this chapter)
