Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

Chapter 813 Playing tricks under other people's noses
Several families in the backyard watched the joke.

Now the courtyard houses are also divided. For example, the backyard consists of Liu Haizhong, Song the Butcher, and Ma Sanjia, forming a small circle.

I don't even get involved in the mess in the middle courtyard and the front courtyard.

Sometimes even when they were outside and talked about the trivial matters in Yard 95, Ma San and his friends would specifically point out that these matters had nothing to do with their backyard.

~Their backyard was going through a rough time, and there was nothing they could do about it. They had to become neighbors with those people after being assigned this yard. Otherwise, they would have thought about moving out a long time ago.

This is the human nature. Not everyone is willing to wallow in the mire every day.

Liu Haizhong wanted to take care of it, but given the current situation in the courtyard, he couldn't.

In this life, the troubles in the Siheyuan are much more shameless than before.

Even if Liu Haizhong was obsessed with becoming an official, he knew that if he got involved in some things, he would end up eating in the toilet and getting stinky.

The Central Courtyard is dominated by yin and less by yang, and the families living there who are just getting by are turning a deaf ear to what is happening in the courtyard.

In addition to the Guo family, there is also a man ~ Yan Jiecheng.

But Yan Jiecheng's family knew their own business. With the time he spent counting to 30, he couldn't even feed his wife, so he naturally wouldn't think of spending money to cheat on her...

There was someone in the front yard who was targeting Tian Ya, Chen Wu. He was not only targeting Tian Ya, he was also targeting Qin Huairu.

But what can we say about this person? He has the intention to steal, but not the courage to do so.

He can chat with others happily, but in reality, no one dares to provoke him.

But there are always unexpected things in the world, and the problem in this matter still lies with the Guo family.

The eldest son of the Guo family has been annoyed by his son and daughter-in-law recently.

Or it's about work.

What about the eldest brother of the Guo family?

It is not as simple as Mr. Guo earning money to support the whole family alone.

If only Boss Guo earned money and supported his wife and children who did not have a city allowance, life would be a little harder, but at least he could get by.

Rather, it involves the issue of labor moving into cities.

To put it simply, the problem is that the eldest grandson of the Guo family has reached the legal age and must either register his household registration in the city or work in the fields.

If you insist on staying in the city, but don’t have a city hukou.

It's actually not impossible to try some tricks.

Every month, a sum of money is paid to the commune according to the normal labor contribution, which is to buy work points.

The value of one work point is 8.1 cents, which is determined according to the living standards in each place.

This is an obligation.

With obligations come rights. For example, when food is distributed every year, those who spend money to buy work points can get food rations according to their work points.

In this case, many villagers who work as temporary workers in the city handle it in the same way.

People like Jia Zhang, Yan Jiecheng's wife, Qin Jingru, etc., actually all have this problem.

But the good thing about them is that they are women and have no intention of returning to their parents' home in the future, so they don't need to share the grain, and the local commune doesn't care too much.

The same is true for Guo Lao Da's wife, so she didn't have this worry before.

But now that Guo’s eldest son has grown up, this problem has emerged.

This is also the characteristic of this era. As long as people are able to work and reach a certain age, they must work and make contributions.

According to the living standard in Guo Lao Da's village, the commune required Guo Lao Da to pay six yuan per month.

There is naturally some water in this. If the commune didn't want to take advantage of it, it wouldn't have done this for the Guo family.

So every month, the eldest son of the Guo family would find my parents and make a fuss.

What she is looking at is Guo Shumiao's salary. What a clever little girl!
She couldn't stand the tears of Mrs. Guo, nor the sad face of old man Guo.
But if you can't afford to offend, you can always avoid it.

The little girl moved directly to a single dormitory on the street and didn't go back. The first thing she did every month when she got her salary was to give the money to Guo Lei and Fang Juan.

Guo Lei now sees clearly that his eldest brother and his family are just stubborn and he simply ignores them.

According to what Guo Lei said, his parents have to help the eldest child and he has no control over it.

But if the eldest child dared to force his parents to cause trouble for him, he would beat him.

As for his parents' retirement, Guo Lei also directly calculated the cost for his parents.

According to Mr. Guo’s pension, it is definitely enough for the old couple to live on, and they will even have some left over.

So he usually doesn't give money to his parents.

He would find a way to hire someone to do the daily physical work at home.
He arranges the expenses of taking care of his parents when they are sick.

Mr. Guo’s expenses were reimbursed by his company, but the old lady did not.

Guo Lei was left with no other choice but to think of this trick.

His biological parents insisted on doing this, so what could he, as a son, do?
But no matter what, Boss Guo often goes to Yard No. 95.

In this regard, the Guo family is not very honest.

After all, when He Yuzhu "lent" the house to the Guo family, he told the old Guo couple in person that the old Guo family was not allowed to enter the yard.

So at first, when Boss Guo came in, he was still sneaky, but later when he saw that He Yuzhu didn't care, he came in openly.

Does He Yuzhu know?

I know for sure.

But he was too lazy to care.

When I said that, I was just cooperating with Guo Lei in acting.

Another reason is that I feel sorry for Guo Shumiao and don’t want her to be disturbed during her school days.

Now that Guo Shumiao has moved out and Guo Lei himself didn't even mention it, why would He Yuzhu care about that?
No matter how good friends are, each family still needs to manage its own life.

As time goes by, the eldest son of the Guo family is no longer just concerned about his parents' retirement money.

Instead, he set his sights on these two houses, one large and one small.

Of course, no matter how greedy Boss Guo was, he wouldn't dare to move in openly.

Instead, he would occasionally come over and sleep on the floor, using the excuse that there was no room there.

Guo Shumiao moved out because she was extremely fed up with this boss.

As a result, as soon as Guo Shumiao moved out, Boss Guo set his eyes on this ear room.

He didn't have the courage to pick the lock, but he cried in front of his mother, asking her to find Guo Shumiao and get the key.

Without Guo Lao Da realizing it, he would come over to sleep every night.

From his perspective, he was just testing the waters slowly. If He Yuzhu and Guo Lei didn't turn against him, he might move in with his wife and live with the old man and woman in a while.

The idea was good. He would leave the house to his son, and later find a city-daughter-in-law for his son who had a job. Then he could get a city hukou for his son.

Or after a few years, he can find someone to retire early...

It should be said that as far as living a good life is concerned, Boss Guo’s idea is not wrong.

This is also the reason why Guo Shumiao and Guo Lei did not care about this matter.

Anyway, the house deed is in Guo Shumiao's hands. This was also the backup plan that Guo Lei kept when he bought the house, and he made the head of the household Guo Shumiao.

As soon as the old couple left, no matter whether He Yuzhu stepped forward or Guo Shumiao found a way, Boss Guo had no idea about the two houses.
