The Red Era: The Crowd in the Siheyuan

Chapter 528 Breakup
Seeing how vicious these neighbors were, wanting Banggeng to remain single and destroy the Jia family, Jia Zhang suddenly became panicked.

Because she knew what she was doing.
If outsiders knew how she treated Yi Zhonghai's family, who would dare to marry their daughter to such a family? What if they were to be wiped out and their family turned against them?

But Jia Zhang was not willing to give in like this.
So he looked at He Yuzhu, the only cadre in the courtyard.

"Zhu Zi, please judge for me. How can they do things like this? Aunt Zhang's lifelong wish is to expand our Jia family. How can they do this?"

At this time, He Yuzhu was watching the excitement with great satisfaction.
Seeing Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang fighting each other, although he was not a fool, he felt quite relieved.
Hearing that Jia Zhang asked him to judge the case, He Yuzhu had no intention of letting her go, and directly stabbed her.

"Aunt Zhang, the uncles and aunts have their own mouths. I can't control what they say. It's just a small matter. I can't let them be arrested.

And I have to tell you something,
If this matter of your family gets out, it will not only affect Banggeng's marriage, but also Huaihua. You won't be able to be a cadre in the future. As for whether you can still be a teacher, I don't know.

Before you make a decision, Aunt Zhang, please think carefully and don’t ruin your children’s future for a small matter.”

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, Xu Damao, who was standing not far away, also started talking.

"Huaihua may not be able to be a teacher.

Our teacher Ran often said that teachers should set a good example for students. If the story of Aunt Zhang's family spread, who would dare to let Huaihua be a teacher?

Aunt Zhang, you can't do this. Huaihua is more than just your granddaughter."

Xu Wenyuan went to college for one semester. Whenever he came back, he was always with Huaihua. The neighbors in the courtyard had more or less figured out something.
When they heard Xu Damao say this, they all smiled.

But when Jia Zhang heard what Xu Damao said, she was a little unhappy. For her, whether she had a granddaughter or not had to be put aside. Now the most important thing was for her eldest grandson to find a wife.

It looked like he was going to lose more than he gained, not only would he not be able to get Yi Zhonghai's house, but he would also have to pay out a large sum of money.

But I'm not in the mood to argue with Xu Damao.

"Old Yi, you are the person involved in this matter, so you should tell me whether you want to draw a clear line with our family. If so, our Jia family will not care about you two in the future."

Although the price system reform has just begun, the price of goods is not as high as when Sha Zhu was going to Hong Kong Island in 1984 in the TV series.
Yi Zhonghai has not yet realized that his retirement salary may not be enough to support himself in his old age.
However, Jia Zhang's greedy face had originally made Yi Zhonghai somewhat shaken, but he could not make up his mind because of the sunk costs.

Since the neighbors could help him get the money back, Yi Zhonghai naturally had no reason to disagree.
He thinks his monthly pension of 7 or 80 yuan is enough for his food. Besides, he owns a house, and many young people in the Siheyuan can help him with his retirement.

"Don't talk about it, Sister Zhang.

I really don't dare to have anything to do with your family anymore.
In the early years, he asked for my money to raise his children. Today, he asked for my house for Banggeng'er to get married. Will he despise me and my wife as a burden and want to kill us tomorrow?
Never mind. That's it.
Please return the money I have given to your family over the years, and we will be even now."

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's decision, the person who was watching the excitement from the sidelines was most moved.

Thinking back to what I saw on the Internet before, it was said that what Yi Zhonghai needed was Qin Huairu's care, and Sha Zhu was just an unnecessary blood bag. He Yuzhu just thought it was nonsense.

Sha Zhu is the undisputed protagonist and the central figure of the courtyard. Except for the conflict between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, which does not involve money, the conflicts between the other families are all about economic issues.
I won't talk about Yan Bugui's family, that was an open calculation of money.

What about Liu Haizhong?

In the early days, he favored Liu Guangqi and wanted to leave all his property to this eldest son, which caused family discord.

Later, every time Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu returned to the Siheyuan, it was either because of the two temporary buildings in the backyard or because Liu Haizhong had made a fortune as a profiteer. In the final analysis, it was all for money.

As for Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang in front of them, it was even more so, just more hidden.

Without Shazhu's money, house, and connections,
As it is now, Banggeng'er's job, the house he will get married in, the house Xiaodanghua will find for her son-in-law, and the living expenses of the two families are all on the table under the wave of economic development.

Without Shazhu, these two families would just end up in a mess like they are now, and there would be no such thing as Love in the Courtyard.

I was thinking,

Xu Damao looked at Jia Zhang's livid face and moved over with a smile.
"Zhu Zi, it's been 30 years now. Uncle Yi and Aunt Zhang have finally parted ways."

"It's been 30 years, hasn't it? When we exchanged gold yuan notes, Uncle Jia was killed by a dog spy, and Uncle Yi has been helping the Jia family ever since.

This gang has been together for 30 years, and the favor is too great, but in the end, they are helping to bring about revenge."

"Yes,
Isn't this just a matter of gratitude and resentment?

It has been many years since I have seen this kind of scene. The last time I saw it was more than 20 years ago, when the rich men in Nanluoguxiang wore hats.
I didn't expect something like this to happen in our yard.

By the way, Zhuzi, what do you think will happen to Uncle Yi and Aunt Yi in their old age? Are these neighbors in the yard really reliable?"

Hearing Xu Damao ask this, He Yuzhu thought for a moment, then pointed his lips towards the east wing.
"I saw a statistic from the State Council some time ago, which said that the per capita living area in our cities and towns has been declining over the years. Now it is only 3.9 square meters, while it was 52 in 4.5.
As long as Uncle Yi's house is still available, he won't have to worry about no one to take care of him in his old age."

When Xu Damao heard He Yuzhu talking about the survey data above, he was shocked.

"Really, Zhuzi, our current living area is not as good as it was 30 years ago? Are you sure? We were just liberated 30 years ago, how come after 30 years of development, we are not as good as before.

If this is the case, then Uncle Yi really won’t have to worry about no one to take care of him in his old age, as long as the other party is not as anxious as Aunt Zhang. "

After Xu Damao was surprised for a moment, he brought the topic back to Yi Zhonghai.
He Yuzhu looked at him thoughtfully.
"What, do you have an idea?"

Facing He Yuzhu, Xu Damao had nothing to hide, so he nodded.

"Yes, a little bit. You know my two sons will get married in a few years. By then, there will be no room for them at home. I can't just kick my parents out of the old house!"
