Siheyuan: Starting from the driver

Chapter 650, Part 4: Jia Dongxu's death was a stroke of genius!
The next day.

Early in the morning, Qin Huairu took the supplementary agreement, household registration book, and grain ration book and went directly to the subdistrict office.

Jia Dongxu died and his household registration was cancelled.

The most important thing is to inherit the urban household registration.

They had a work certificate from the steel rolling mill and a death certificate for Jia Dongxu.

Qin Huairu was finally able to change her household registration smoothly, from a rural household registration to an urban household registration, and thus receive a grain ration.

From now on, we will finally be able to eat commercial grain. Banggeng, Xiaodang, and even the baby in her belly can move their household registration with her and will also be able to eat commercial grain from now on.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu was extremely excited, her hands trembling as she gripped the bag tightly.

We finally arrived at the street office.

"Hoo~" Qin Huairu took a deep breath and went inside.

I approached someone who appeared to be a staff member of the neighborhood committee and asked, "Hello, where is the place to register my household registration?"

"Register your household registration?" The staff member looked at Qin Huairu, who was heavily pregnant and had a slightly rough face.

This kind of person doesn't seem like someone who can change their household registration at all.

"You want to change your household registration? Not many people can change their household registration now, unlike before when you could change it whenever you wanted. Do you have a job? You can't change it if you don't have a job."

"Yes, yes, I have it." Qin Huairu quickly took out the agreement from her pocket.

Seeing Qin Huairu about to take something, the staff member raised an eyebrow. "There really is something?"

Soon, Qin Huairu took out the agreement, and the staff saw that, as expected, there was indeed a job at a steel rolling mill.

He immediately became curious: "How did you get this job? Why is the steel mill making you cover for them during the holidays?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu burst into tears: "My husband is dead. He died in the factory."

"Dead? Yes. I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have asked. Please accept my condolences."

The staff member was instantly ashamed and wanted to slap him for asking such a stupid question.

"Don't cry, crying is bad for the child. Come here, I'll help you with the household registration. Sit here, I'll get it done for you right away."

The staff member spoke softly and gently, pulled Qin Huairu to sit down, and immediately began processing her household registration.

"Hey, bring out all the documents, including your household registration book, grain ration book, etc., and I'll process it for you right away."

Qin Huairu took out all the documents at once, and the staff dared not say anything more and accepted all the certificates.

The inspection began, including the agreement, Jia Dongxu's death certificate, household registration book, grain ration book, and so on.

Once everything was confirmed to be correct, the process began immediately.

"Here, sign your name first."

Qin Huairu did as instructed.

After all the necessary documents were prepared, the staff member stood up and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go find the director to sign it, it will be done soon."

Changing household registration is now strictly investigated, especially now that there is a food shortage. It's a case of being lenient in leaving but strict in entering; you can't do it without the director's signature.

The staff member took it to Director Wang for signature, and she asked curiously, "Why is there suddenly someone changing their household registration? What's going on?"

"Director, her husband died, and she's here to fill in for him."

"Oh? Whose is it? Which yard?"

"No. 95 Courtyard, Jia Dongxu."

"In courtyard number 95, Jia, the son of that old hag, Yi Zhonghai's apprentice, he's actually dead? How did he die?"

"I don't know. It wasn't mentioned in the materials, and I didn't ask too many questions, since it's a small matter."

"Okay, I understand." Director Wang didn't intend to make things difficult for the person after hearing that they had died. He quickly signed his name and stamped the document.

Qin Huairu finally became a resident of the city, receiving a food ration and her children also had food to eat.

No more spending extra money on food on the black market; it saves about a hundred yuan every month.

Unexpectedly, with Jia Dongxu's death, the Jia family's biggest food problem was solved.

He died a worthy death, a good death!
If Jia Dongxu knew this in the afterlife, he might be so happy to die again.

Qin Huairu took her new household registration book home with great excitement.

"mua~" She couldn't help but kiss him twice along the way.

When she got home, Qin Huairu didn't care that Jia Zhangshi was still fast asleep.

Without Jia Dongxu to control her, Jia Zhangshi was finally able to act with impunity, and Qin Huairu alone could not control her.

"Money, money, money!" In a great mood, Qin Huairu took out all the money she had saved at home.

The 103 yuan donated by everyone the day before yesterday, the 600 yuan compensation from the steel mill yesterday, and the 60 or 70 yuan of Jia Dongxu's private savings.

Apart from Jia Zhangshi's money and the money she had hidden away, all the money was here.

"One hundred, two hundred, three hundred, seven hundred, eight hundred and forty-five yuan!"

"Haha, so much money! So much money!"

Qin Huairu looked at the stack of money in front of her. The amount of money made her feel excited and she couldn't help but burst into laughter, her emotions spiraling into madness.

"Money, so much money!"

Excitedly, she threw money into the air. Watching the rain of money fall from the sky, Qin Huairu had truly seen something amazing today.

I wouldn't earn this much in my entire life. If I lived in the countryside, I wouldn't have this much money even if I worked myself to death.

"Dongxu, it's good that you died. If you hadn't died, I wouldn't have had so much money!" Qin Huairu couldn't help but say what was on her mind.

"Money, money, money~" she lingered, her big eyes fixed on the money.

After a while, Qin Huairu finally calmed down from her excitement and took deep breaths to compose herself.

"Huh~"

With Jia Dongxu's death, he directly contributed more than 670 yuan to his family. His death was truly worthwhile!

"No wonder the old man said the Jia family used to be rich; it turns out that a dead person is worth so much."

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu's eyes involuntarily turned to the fast-sleeping Jia Zhangshi.

She immediately dismissed the thought: "If she dies, there will be no one to take care of my child. The job is mine now, so her death won't make a difference."

"Mom~" Xiao Dang suddenly woke up, rubbing her eyes.

Her daughter's voice instantly brought Qin Huairu back to normal, and she shook her head to come to her senses.

"What's wrong, Xiao Dang?"

"Mom, I need to pee."

"Okay, Mom is coming right away," Qin Huairu said softly. She first put all the money away in the cabinet before taking Xiaodang to the toilet.

at the same time.

Steel rolling mill.

"Good morning, Yi Gong!"

Good morning, Mr. Yi!

"Good morning, everyone!" Yi Zhonghai greeted everyone with a smile.

For some reason, when he arrived at the workshop early in the morning, most of the junior workers greeted him warmly.

It wasn't like this before. He wasn't well-liked, and people wouldn't even bother to greet him if they saw him. What's wrong with him today?
Guo Da Piezi was also completely baffled: "Yi Zhonghai really got lucky. With Jia Dongxu dead, everyone is treating him so well. It's really strange."

Just as the two were puzzled, someone naturally explained it to them.

One of the apprentices said enviously, "Jia Dongxu is really lucky to have met such a good master. He's been busy taking care of his funeral arrangements and has been on leave for several days now, which has delayed his own affairs so much."

"Yes, if I had such a master, I would repay him by working like a cow or a horse. I would definitely not be like Jia Dongxu, who has no ambition at all."

“Yes, we’re all human. How come he’s so lucky to have met such a good master? Look at my master.”

"Huh? What did you say about me?!" Suddenly, his master's voice came from behind.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, Master is the best," he quickly explained.

"Slap!" A slap landed across his face.

“You envy Jia Dongxu, why don’t you go and become Yi Gong’s apprentice? I’m not good enough for you.”

After saying that, he left.

"Oh, Master, Master, no, I didn't mean that, you're overthinking it, Master."

"Look, this is the difference. Look at Yi Gong's tolerance and magnanimity. If my master could have even a third of his level, that would be good enough."

"Oh? So you're saying I'm not good enough for you? Then you should go and become Yi Gong's apprentice." "Master, Master!"

Listening to the envious words of the junior workers and apprentices, Yi Zhonghai finally understood what was going on and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Unexpectedly, his handling of Jia Dongxu's funeral arrangements was seen by the junior workers as a display of utmost dedication and hard work.

What a responsible master must be to do this, working so hard and exhaustingly.

Unexpectedly, this unintentional act led to such a good thing, and it didn't affect his ability to impress the Jia family and make them grateful to him. It was a win-win situation.

"Good, good, good~" Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. His only flaw was gone, and no one would ever mention Jia Dongxu again.

With this in mind, Yi Zhonghai greeted his apprentices warmly and tried to maintain good relationships with them.

"Look, even after such a thing happened, Engineer Yi is still so approachable. How could Jia Dongxu be so irrational?"

"It's better if he can't think straight. If he dies, we'll have a chance, won't we? He's an eighth-grade worker."

For a time, the lower-level workers welcomed Yi Zhonghai even more enthusiastically.

Yi Zhonghai, whose reputation was already bad, underwent a major change after Jia Dongxu's death.

"It's good that Jia Dongxu is dead. Now that he's gone, we don't have to assign him any work."

"Yes, from now on, you'll share the dirty and tiring work with me. I won't have to carry this burden anymore. You're lazy and don't get things done."

"It's good that this scourge is dead."

Hearing the junior worker's deep resentment towards Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai thought it was good that he was dead; his death was a fitting end.

Their deaths were worthwhile! Even in death, they still contribute their remaining energy.

"That's it."

Guo Da Piezi listened to the simplistic worker's words and finally understood what was going on.

He didn't care about enhancing Yi Zhonghai's reputation, as long as it didn't affect the smooth operation of the workshop.

"Alright, everyone's at work now, stop chatting."

Guo Da Piezi shouted loudly, pulling everyone's thoughts back to their work.

"Everyone has been working for a few days now and has gotten used to it. Starting today, let's get down to business. I'll now assign tasks."

After saying that, Guo Da Piezi took out the tasks that had been assigned beforehand and distributed them.

"This month is a bit busy, so everyone should pay more attention to doing their jobs well."

"Hey Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu, Jia, you guys go to the warehouse and get some parts. Be careful, don't get into any trouble."

"Understood," the group replied, and then went together to fetch the materials.

Seeing that things were going so smoothly, Guo Da Piezi felt a little empty inside. Shouldn't something have happened in the past?
The group successfully retrieved the materials, but Guo Da Piezi felt an even greater sense of emptiness in his heart.

"That's strange, why does it feel like something's missing?"

All day long, Guo Da Piezi was searching for that empty feeling, until he counted the workpieces and scrap before leaving get off work, and then it suddenly dawned on him.

"I was wondering why everything went so smoothly today. It turns out that Jia Dongxu wasn't here and no one was arguing with me. That's why I felt uncomfortable all day."

"It's good that Jia Dongxu died. He used to always argue with me. Now that he's suddenly not arguing with me, I'm actually a little annoyed."

Guo Da Piezi felt itchy all over, looking at the amount of work that had been completed smoothly and steadily today, something he had never felt before.

"I never thought that Jia Dongxu's absence would have such benefits. It's good that Jia Dongxu died. The workshop is actually better off without him, that scourge."

For Guo Dapizi, what's more important is that his orders and instructions are carried out successfully.

"Hey, Jia Dongxu is dead, good days are just around the corner."

Guo Da Piezi happily went home from get off work, unaware that three months later, someone would appear to take over from Jia Dongxu.

He'll have a lot of headaches to deal with then, and the key is that he's even more unapproachable than Jia Dongxu.

courtyard.

"Grandma, Mom!"

Banggeng ran home crying.

"Banggeng, what's wrong? Who dares to bully my precious grandson!" Jia Zhangshi shouted, quickly pulling Banggeng into her arms.

"Grandma!" With someone to rely on, Banggeng cried even louder.

"Hey, you bastard, come out here! You dare steal my stuff? You've got a problem, you need to be taught a lesson!"

Suddenly, the voice of the shrew Wang Meihua came from outside the door.

"Hey, damn it, how dare they bully my precious grandson!" Jia Zhangshi instantly flew into a rage and stormed out to confront Wang Meihua.

"Why did you hit my precious grandson! I only took some of your things, apologize to my precious grandson!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Meihua became even angrier: "Hey, Jia Zhangshi, I think you've gone mad! You can't tell right from wrong anymore! What do you mean by 'take'? That's stealing!"

"What stealing? My precious grandson is such a good man, he wouldn't do such a thing. He took it, that's all. He did it to give your family face. Apologize to my precious grandson right now!"

When it comes to matters of principle, Jia Zhangshi has no concept of right or wrong.

"You've got some nerve!" Without saying another word, Wang Meihua slapped him across the face.

"Snap!!!" The sound was crisp.

"If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. What a mess!"

"You dare to hit me!"

"I'm going to beat you up!"

After saying that, he slapped her again.

Two handprints were visible on Jia Zhangshi's face.

"I'll fight you to the death!" Jia Zhangshi shouted as she rushed out.

clap clap clap! ! !
Wang Meihua delivered a series of slaps, leaving Jia Zhangshi completely disoriented and collapsing onto her backside.

"Ah!" Jia Zhangshi burst into tears instantly.

"Dongxu, your mother is being bullied!"

Seeing Jia Zhangshi crying and wailing, Wang Meihua showed her no mercy: "Your precious son Jia Dongxu is dead!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi stopped crying and looked at Wang Meihua in disbelief, only then remembering that Jia Dongxu was dead.

"what!!!"

"Dongxu, my son! My son!"

Jia Zhangshi cried out even louder and more desperately.

"My son, why did you leave! Your mother has been bullied!"

"Dongxu!!!"

Jia Zhangshi wailed and howled, sobbing so hard that she couldn't breathe, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

"Thump!" He fell straight to the ground.

"Oh my god, is she dead?" Seeing that Jia Zhangshi was not moving, Wang Meihua was afraid of getting into trouble and fled immediately without asking for an explanation.

"mom!"

"Jia Zhangshi!"

An older woman and Qin Huairu rushed over to check on the situation. Fortunately, she was still breathing, but had fainted. Sha Zhu helped carry Jia Zhangshi to bed.

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhangshi, then at Banggeng, and felt an overwhelming sense of desolation.

Jia Dongxu had only been there a few days when Wang Meihua dared to bully him.

In the past, Wang Meihua would never have dared to do this.

Does the Jia family, now without men, have no choice but to be bullied by everyone?
Looking at the Jia family, everyone couldn't help but feel a little sorry for them; someone had just died and yet someone dared to bully them.

There were those who felt sympathy, and naturally, there were those who were happy.

"Without Jia Dongxu, let's see what the Jia family will do in the future."

"Bang Geng deserves to be taught a lesson. He's done so many bad things. Before, when Jia Dongxu was alive, no one dared to do anything to him. Now that Jia Dongxu is dead, let's see how your Jia family will protect Bang Geng."

"From now on, if the Jia family does anything that doesn't go our way, we should speak up and not tolerate it."

With Jia Dongxu gone, the Jia family no longer had to swallow their anger and keep avoiding each other.

Jia Dongxu is dead, but I didn't expect him to be so kind to the courtyard.
