Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 964 Neighbors are dumbfounded (revised)

Half a month had passed since Wang Zhan left, and now Wang Zhan and his sister were already on the train to Chengdu.

In the backyard of No. 95, in the old deaf lady’s house in Sijiu City.

Director Wang and Director Qi were sitting around the deaf old lady at this time. Yi Zhonghai stood behind the deaf old lady, listening to the conversation between the three people.

"Aunt, when do you think it would be best to start this?" Director Wang said.

It was only then that Yi Zhonghai realized that the deaf old lady was actually Director Wang's aunt. There must have been no news of this before. He was greatly shocked and secretly raised the status of the deaf old lady in his mind.

The deaf old lady said, "Wait until you have established your foothold. You have just arrived, so get to know the people in your own unit better. When you have completely taken control of your respective units, we will see what to do. But for the time being, let the people in our courtyard go and test that courtyard more."

Director Qi and Director Wang listened very much to the deaf old lady's words and nodded. Director Qi said, "I'm fine here, except for two troublemakers. I've asked Deputy Director Jin to find a way to transfer them away. The rest seem to be very obedient on the surface."

Director Wang said, "It's not possible here. Most of the people here are from the previous term. I've only been here for a short time, so I can only use my position to control them. There are also people who are not of the same mind, such as Aunt Sun, who lives in Yu'er Hutong. She is always skeptical of what I say. I still need time to get the Street Office in order."

At this time, Yi Zhonghai coughed. The deaf old lady frowned and said, "Why, do you have something to say?"

"Yes, old lady, I know this Aunt Sun. She is also from a martyr's family. She has a grandson and a granddaughter. She is very close to the brother and sister in the East Cross Courtyard. She is the one who usually takes Wang Zhan's sister to her side to take care of her."

Upon hearing this, Director Wang also frowned and said in a low voice: "If that's the case, we really have to get rid of this Aunt Sun, but it's not easy to do, because Aunt Sun is already a regular employee."

The deaf old lady smiled and said, "Why is it so difficult? Find Ma San and send her to the hospital. You can then use her original illness as an excuse to say that she is no longer suitable for frontline work and apply for her medical retirement."

Upon hearing this, Director Wang gave the deaf old lady a thumbs up and said, "Auntie is the one who has the best idea."

Several people started discussing other things, and Yi Zhonghai listened beside them, refilling their tea and cigarettes from time to time. After this conversation, Yi Zhonghai had a deep respect for the deaf old lady. In front of this old lady, some of his methods were not worth mentioning.

Wang Zhan and his sister were also very bored when they got on the Baocheng train. This train was different from the previous ones. It either went over a bridge or passed through a tunnel. There were not too many people on the train at the beginning, but when it entered Gansu, people started to get on continuously. The people who got on were obviously malnourished, extremely thin, and their clothes were tattered.

The obvious refugee tide made Wang Zhan and his sister feel a little panicked. Wang Zhan also felt a little guilty now. He didn't dare to take out the food. The people squatting in the aisle and walking in the corridor all looked at people with red eyes.

Wang Li was a little scared, lying in her brother's arms without moving. There were too many people, and Wang Zhan was also a little scared. He could only secretly break off a small piece of two-grain steamed bun from time to time to feed his sister like a kitten. This situation continued until Jiangyou. It had been two days and two nights since they arrived at Guangyuan Station. These people dressed as refugees got off the bus in a row. It was not that they didn't want to take the bus, but they really had no food. Since they entered Sichuan, it didn't matter where they got off. They would be hungry on the bus, so they all got off the bus in a row. Wang Zhan breathed a sigh of relief and asked for the window next to him to come up. A heat wave came from outside. Wang Zhan knew that they had arrived in the country of Sichuan. The two continued to sit in the car, but Wang Li became a chatterbox again, saying that she missed Grandma Ajima. Wang Zhan thought, you miss Grandma Ajima, you miss your own Doha.

Finally, Wang Zhan had no choice but to coax his sister, saying that this time he would go to Jinqi Village first to pick up Grandma Aijima, and then go back to Sijiu City. Only then did Wang Li shut up.

On the last day of July, Wang Zhan and his sister were speeding on the road, and the courtyards in the old city were not peaceful either.

In the west wing of the central courtyard, after dinner, the Jia family gathered in a small living room outside. The Jia family only had one wing, which was allocated to them when Jia Dongxu's father worked in the steel rolling mill, and they are still paying rent for it.

This living room is similar to the main room of other people's houses, but the difference is that half of it is separated as Jia Zhang's bedroom, so this room cannot be a main room. There is only a table and four stools in it, and a side cabinet against the wall.

Jia Dongxu was drinking some wine and talking to his mother about his master's plan. At first, Jia Zhangshi didn't respond. Although Jia Zhangshi was very aggressive, that was caused by her life. It didn't mean that she was really stupid and acted like a spoiled child.

But when Jia Dongxu said that this was the plan of the deaf old lady in the backyard, Jia Zhang looked at Jia Dongxu. Qin Huairu, who was packing things nearby, also noticed it and looked at her husband.

Jia Dongxu was talking excitedly when he suddenly found that the room had become quiet. He was stunned. At this time, Jia Zhang said, "Son, tell me, how much chips will make that damn old lady come out?"

Jia Dongxu looked at his mother and said, "What bargaining chip? Isn't it just the house in the east courtyard?"

Jia Zhang looked at me with disdain, rolled her eyes, and said, "Son, you are still too naive. It's just one house, and the deaf old lady shouldn't come out. There must be other things. You underestimate the old lady. The old lady is not simple. Didn't she avoid me when she saw me?"

Jia Dongxu was stunned. He had only heard this from his master and had not thought about it carefully. Now after hearing what Jia Zhang said, he became a little suspicious. He suddenly stood up and walked out of the house. Qin Huairu was about to call him, but when she saw the look in Jia Zhang's eyes, she stopped talking.

After a while, Jia Dongxu ran back, grabbed his mother and said, "Mom, you guessed right. If this plan succeeds, you won't have to worry about the rest of your life. I heard that the kid next door has a deposit of 200,000 yuan, all of which is open. The old lady in the backyard went there just for this."

Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this. Jia Zhang was silent for a while and said, "This matter is worth taking the risk. I will keep an eye on this family tomorrow to see if I can find an opportunity to make some money."

At this time, many families in the front, middle and back yards of No. 95 Courtyard had heard the news. Yi Zhonghai had deliberately released the news in order to arouse the greed of each household in the courtyard, and then everyone would work together to attack their neighbors and fight the local tyrants for land.

Every household in the compound was dumbfounded when they heard the news. They all felt that the world was unfair. Why did the two kids next door have so much money? They worked so hard for a month and had nothing left. They had to rush for three meals a day. Why did two kids who didn't work have so much money? This was human greed. That night, someone climbed over the wall to the next door in the middle of the night, but he was bitten by Dayu and Xiaoyu and ran everywhere. So Grandma Yang let the man go.
