Siheyuan: Return to the Era of Prosperity

Chapter 17 Missing
Shen Zhiyu listened to the distant conversation of his brothers and sisters and felt like laughing. This old man really thought that others didn't know what he was planning.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Shen Zhiyu with an uncertain expression and left without saying goodbye.

He decided to hold a meeting of the entire hospital tonight and he must take over the Shen family's position, regardless of whether his family agrees or not.

Shen Zhiyu felt very disgusted after being morally kidnapped by the Lord of Morality so early in the morning.

In his two lifetimes, he has never seen anyone more disgusting than this person. This is definitely Yi Buqun.

Today's work tasks are the same as yesterday. I am familiar with the business processes and learning statistical reports. The work is very easy.

But Shen Zhiyu felt really uncomfortable. He didn't want to get too involved in the Siheyuan, but unfortunately he was actively scammed by the beast.

After lunch, Shen Zhiyu sat in the office, analyzing what Yi Zhonghai would do next. He felt that this old man would definitely find ways to continue to disgust him.

He felt that this old guy was just using moral blackmail, and he would wait and see how he would use moral blackmail.

Yi Zhonghai was in a bad mood today. He hadn't been scolded for many years. Today, the Shen brothers and sisters deliberately scolded him outside the door, as if he didn't hear it.

When Jia Dongxu saw his master coming in angrily from the front yard in the morning, he guessed that Yi Zhonghai had not succeeded.

Jia Zhang was ready to go out to find out what happened, but was forced back down by Jia Dongxu, and she did not ask her master for details.

Yi Zhonghai also saw the Jia family at that time, but he did not say the specific situation. He only said that a meeting of the entire institute would be held in the evening.

Therefore, Jia Dongxu carefully served Yi Zhonghai all day long. He knew that as long as he held on to this thigh tightly, he would never have to worry about food and drink.

Looking at Jia Dongxu who served him carefully, Yi Zhonghai was very satisfied. This child was filial and he would do anything to take over the Shen family and get the job tonight.

Thinking of this, he strolled to Liu Haizhong's workshop and told Liu Haizhong about the meeting he was going to have in the evening.

"Old Yi, you want someone else's job. This is not something an old man can do." Liu Haizhong said.

How could Yi Zhonghai not know what Liu Haizhong meant? This old man would never stand on the same side with him without benefit, so he said, "The daughter-in-law of the Jia family has a job, a city hukou, and a food ration, so there is no need for donations from the whole hospital. If we do this, we can unite the majority of the residents in the hospital. In addition, I will give you another 100 yuan after the matter is completed."

Liu Hai's heart moved. It had become a burden for everyone to donate to the Jia family. They had to come once a month. If they really wanted to waive the donation, it would indeed help win over all the residents in the courtyard. However, 100 yuan would not be enough.

"Lao Yi, 100 yuan can't buy a formal job." Liu Haizhong said lightly.

Yi Zhonghai felt relieved. Liu Haizhong had already won over the deal. Money was not a problem. He replied, "200 yuan."

This would not affect his own interests and he could get 200 yuan for free, so Liu Haizhong nodded and agreed.

After persuading Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai thought about it and realized that Yan Bugui was timid and afraid of trouble, so he could give him 100 yuan and keep him out of the trouble.

Sha Zhu is one of their own people, and Xu Damao has Sha Zhu to take care of him. The other residents don't have a strong presence, so he's going to take care of Shen Zhiyu's family tonight.

The bell rang, marking the end of another day's work.

Considering that his younger brothers and sisters were malnourished, Shen Zhiyu went to the market after work to buy some nutritious food.

The Chaoyang Vegetable Market is bustling with people, as many people who are getting off work come to the market to buy things.

Shen Zhiyu saw an old farmer sitting on the ground at a stall. In front of him was a basket woven with elm strips, which contained some dried meat. Next to it were two roosters and a hen tied up.

"Uncle, what kind of meat is this and how much is it?" Shen Zhiyu came forward to ask the price. "This is air-dried mutton, 2 yuan per pound." The uncle bargained.

"2 yuan, sir, this is too expensive." Hearing the uncle's words, Shen Zhiyu smacked his lips, this is too expensive.

"Young man, this is air-dried meat. It takes three pounds of fresh meat to make one pound of dried meat. It's not expensive. Especially nowadays." The old man explained.

Shen Zhiyu thought that he was already working, and he had more than 1,000 yuan in savings left by his parents, plus the three acres of fertile land awarded by the system, so he would not be short of money in the future. The most urgent thing was to supplement the nutrition of his younger brothers and sisters. He nodded and said, "Weigh it for me, I want it all."

The old man smiled and said, "Okay, I'll weigh it for you right away."

The old man borrowed a scale from another stall, hung the meat on a hook, and said to Shen Zhiyu, "1 jin 8 liang tall, a total of 3 yuan."

Afterwards, Shen Zhiyu spent another 10 yuan to buy the three chickens and put them in the space sheepfold. Who told him to build the sheepfold but there were no sheep?

Not daring to stay in the market for long, Shen Zhiyu hurried back home after buying things.

When he returned home, his younger brother and sister had already lit a fire and were waiting for him.

"Brother, I'm hungry. What are we going to eat tonight?" Shen Zhihua asked.

Shen Zhiyu raised the dried mutton in his hand and said to the three people, "Let's have mutton noodles."

"Great! There's meat to eat again." Shen Zhihua said happily.

"As long as you study hard, I will find a way to make sure you eat well." Shen Zhiyu never forgets to remind the three of them about studying.

"Brother, Liu Guangfu from the second uncle's family just notified us that there will be a meeting of the whole courtyard after dinner and asked every family to attend. I don't know what's going on, but they have been holding a meeting of the whole courtyard for a long time." Shen Zhifang said.

Shen Zhiyu was kneading the noodles while listening to his sister's talk. He had an idea in his mind. He thought that this evening's meeting was really because of him. Yi Zhonghai was planning to use the whole hospital to morally blackmail him. He really underestimated him. He was really shameless.

Shen Zhiyu was thinking about Yi Zhonghai's operation and did not delay cooking. After the water boiled, he cut half of the dried meat into the pot and cooked it for a while. He then added the noodles. The aroma of mutton came out after a while, but the meat was not fried, so the aroma did not spread to the yard.

The four brothers and sisters have been eating mutton for a long time. It tastes delicious no matter how you eat it. A pot of noodles is finished in a short time.

Sister Shen Zhifang was about to wash the dishes but was stopped by Shen Zhiyu.

"Zhifang, you and Zhihua go find the leaders of the street office and tell them that the uncle they appointed is forcibly demanding jobs for the children of martyrs. If they don't care, we will go to the army leaders to report it." Shen Zhiyu ordered.

"Brother, do you mean that the whole hospital meeting tonight is to ask for our jobs?" Shen Zhifang asked.

"Yeah." Shen Zhiyu nodded affirmatively.

"Fuck him, Yi Zhonghai, this old bastard, only knows how to bully people." Shen Zhihua cursed.

"Okay, cursing won't solve the problem. You can go to the street office and see how they handle it. If they really are the same old bastards, the four of us brothers and sisters will report it to the army. If all else fails, we can also go to the steel mill security department. The security department leader has a good relationship with Dad and should be able to help."

Shen Zhiyu was going to make a big scene today to solve the problem once and for all, otherwise everyone would be concerned about their own jobs, which would be very troublesome.

Shen Zhifang and Shen Zhihua took flashlights and went out to look for people.
