Chapter 1466 Cat-faced Old Lady

Sha Zhu is now a very powerful protagonist in the 95 Siheyuan. He still used the salary he earned from helping others prepare wedding banquets to buy a 17-inch TV, which directly surpassed the third uncle Yan Bugui and Xu Damao.

Qin Huairu from next door felt very angry and upset when she heard that Sha Zhu bought a big TV. Logically, these things should belong to her family, so she was particularly annoyed by Xiaodang and Huaihua's questions.

Xiaodang and Huaihua, who were scolded by Qin Huairu, were both dejected. They didn't understand why Qin Huairu was so angry this time, but they didn't dare to say anything in rebuttal to Qin Huairu.

The neighbors in the courtyard are all living a prosperous life, which naturally makes Banggeng envious and jealous, but he can only be jealous helplessly now.

Banggeng, who does nothing every day, has become a genuine street urchin. He has perfectly inherited the greed and selfishness of Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi. He may not even have a place for Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi in his heart.

Suddenly seeing Yi Zhonghai's stick in the backyard was a bit unnatural. It was mainly because of that weird rumor. "Uncle, have you eaten it?"

However, Yi Zhonghai unconsciously started to act like a teacher again and said, "Well, Banggeng, it's been a while since you returned to the city. Why don't you find a job?"

"I... I can't find a job." Banggeng lowered his head in shame.

"Then do you want to be a chef? I can talk to your Uncle He for you."

"No! I don't want to be a scumbag cook."

"Humph! Despicable? I think you're a street urchin now, aren't you? Your Uncle He is the canteen director of the Third Steel Rolling Mill, and his monthly salary alone is over a hundred yuan. Why can't you be more motivated?"

"I……"

"Alright! Banggeng, you're not a kid anymore. You should be sensible now. You can't be so decadent anymore. Your dad got married when he was your age."

"..."

Then the old man Yi Zhonghai left the backyard disappointedly, and Banggeng felt very uncomfortable because he was scolded by Yi Zhonghai for the first time. In addition, Yi Zhonghai's words also reminded Banggeng of his father.

Unfortunately, Banggeng found that he could no longer remember what his father looked like, and he couldn't help feeling ashamed. Then that night he had a horrible nightmare.

In his dream, he saw his father who died young, who kept questioning him why he was so useless. He also said that Banggeng was not his biological son, Jia Dongxu, but the illegitimate child born from the affair between Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai.

You have to know that this incident has always been a pain in Banggeng's heart. Since he was a child, he has been called a "bastard" by others. Of course, this is also the fundamental reason why Banggeng doesn't like to talk.

Then a very scary old lady with a cat face appeared. The terrifying atmosphere almost suffocated Bang Geng. But when the old lady with the cat face came closer, Bang Geng found that the old lady with the cat face was actually a deaf old lady.

"Bang Geng, who let you live in my house?"

"Who let you live in my house?"

"How dare you live in my house?"

"what……"

Banggeng was so frightened by the deaf old lady that he started howling, which woke up all the neighbors in Courtyard No. 95. However, Banggeng was completely frightened at this time. He ignored Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang's questions and kept saying something about "cat-faced old lady".

Many neighbors who have experience in this area believe that Banggeng has been possessed by evil spirits, and that the deaf old lady must not like Banggeng living here.

Jia Zhang, who was standing by, immediately retorted without thinking, "You are talking nonsense! You are spreading superstition again."

However, these neighbors would not tolerate Jia Zhang's bad habits and directly exposed Jia Zhang's long-standing superstitious crimes. "Tsk! Jia Zhang, it seems that you are the most superstitious in our courtyard, right? Don't you always call yourself "Old Jia, Old Jia"? "

"You...you guys..." As expected, Jia Zhang was left speechless.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I think you've been saying 'Old Jia' too much, and this is taking its toll on your family's Bang Geng."

"You're talking nonsense! This is where our family bought us. Why can't we live here? I think you're just jealous of us and talking nonsense."

However, the troops reminded Jia Zhang angrily, "Jia Zhang, look at how scared your grandson is."

"..." As expected, seeing Bang Geng who had been frightened silly again, Jia Zhang couldn't help but be dumbfounded again.

Jia Zhang, who had been holding Bang Geng, looked at him and asked, "Bang Geng, what's wrong with you?"

After a long while, Banggeng's eyes regained focus. He looked at Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi and said, "Mom, Grandma, I saw the deaf old lady. She doesn't want me to live here. I don't want to live here."

"This……"

At this time, the courtyard was in an uproar, the news of the haunted backyard spread everywhere, and the deaf old lady's house became a haunted house.

Originally, Qin Huairu wanted to let Jia Zhang move in, but Jia Zhang was more afraid of the deaf old lady than anyone else, so he naturally didn't have the courage to move in.

As for Xiaodang and Huaihua, it was even more impossible. In the end, Qin Huairu had no choice but to force Xiaodang and Huaihua to move in. However, after just one night, Xiaodang and Huaihua refused to move in even if they were beaten to death. In the end, Qin Huairu had to live alone in the deaf old lady's room in the backyard.

However, Xu Damao, who had long lost interest in Qin Huairu, suddenly missed the past and often ran into Qin Huairu's room to play all kinds of new tricks. Not to mention that Qin Huairu, who looked like a middle-aged woman, was still quite capable, so of course he had to give Qin Huairu some benefits. Then Qin Huairu settled down in the backyard with peace of mind.

……

Director Li was soon transferred from the Third Steel Rolling Mill, but his treatment was much better than in the original drama. After all, he had made contributions to the Red Star Film Studio. Sha Zhu was also promoted to deputy director in charge of logistics. At this time, everyone regarded Sha Zhu as the new star of the steel rolling mill.

The sudden change in the situation made Yu Haitang at a loss. She began to regret seeing Sha Zhu, who was at the peak of his career. Unfortunately, Sha Zhu had already found a new love.

Yu Haitang looked at Sha Zhu and said, "Zhu Zi, I want to go see the child."

However, Sha Zhu rejected Yu Haitang with disdain, "Don't go! They don't know you are their mother. They all think Ran Qiuye is their biological mother."

"This……"

"Yu Haitang, you and the child have no feelings for each other anyway, so why bother causing trouble and making the child feel uncomfortable?"

"But they are all my children."

"Have you ever taken care of them? Yu Li has been taking care of them since they were born, right?"

"Humph!"

In the end, Yu Haitang didn't go to see the child. She originally wanted to come over and flirt with him, but when she saw that Sha Zhu didn't buy it, she gave up.

The main reason is that she doesn't dare to provoke Sha Zhu easily now. After all, it is easy for Sha Zhu to deal with her, so naturally she has lost her previous arrogance and domineering attitude.

Xiaodang decisively found a teaching job in the factory school and moved directly into the factory dormitory. At least there was no scary "cat-faced old lady" in the factory dormitory.

Qin Huairu was naturally delighted, and her pressure was greatly reduced. However, her smile vanished upon seeing Bang Geng. In the end, the neighborhood office still assigned Bang Geng to clean the streets. Embarrassed for wearing a mask all day, Bang Geng was scolded by the team leader and threw the broom at him.

But after the captain left, Banggeng had to pick up the broom again. Even this job was requested by Qin Huairu.

This time, Sha Zhu will not assign him a job, and Xu Damao is unwilling to pay attention to him. Even if Qin Huairu tries hard to please Xu Damao, it will be useless.

……

One night, an earthquake suddenly struck the city of Sijiu, and the entire compound was in chaos.

The old man knew that the weather would definitely change after the earthquake, so he asked everyone in the courtyard to build an earthquake shelter.

Sure enough, after the earthquake, it rained heavily. Thanks to the foresight of an old man, the people in the compound were not wet.

The uncle asked Sha Zhu to collect the food from each family so that they could have a meal together. Before the disaster, Sha Zhu was too lazy to talk nonsense with Yi Zhonghai.

At this time, temporary earthquake shelters were being built everywhere. The second son of the Yan family, Yan Jiefang, the third son, Yan Jiekuang, and the youngest sister, Yan Jiedi, came to the compound to dismantle the earthquake shelters. The family affection of the Yan family was gone, and the family was in chaos. Yan Bugui had no choice but to take his family to live in the middle courtyard.

However, the house of Suning and Chen Xiaojun was extremely sturdy, and the couple did not run out in a panic with their children, which naturally made all the neighbors extremely envious.

Of course, no neighbor dared to come over and bring bad luck, mainly because they did not dare to stand under the dangerous wall, and they all admired the courage of Su Ning and Chen Xiaojun.

On the other side, Sha Zhu spent all his money to prepare a hot meal for everyone. Seeing the miserable look of the Third Uncle, he laughed at him for scheming so much and finally scheming against him. However, the shy Yan Bugui did not dare to provoke Sha Zhu.

At this moment, Uncle Yi Zhonghai's compassion overflowed once again, or perhaps Sha Zhu's "obedience" this time made Yi Zhonghai mistakenly believe that he was fine again. "I think everyone should promote the spirit of helpfulness. Our neighbors in the middle courtyard should squeeze in and make room for Uncle Three and the others."

As expected, as soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Sha Zhu looked at him and cursed, "Yi Zhonghai, if you don't want to stay here, then get out of here. Why should we squeeze in anymore?"

"Zhu Zi, you..." Yi Zhonghai was immediately stunned by Zhu Zi's scolding. Didn't he still give him face just now?

"Fuck you! If it weren't for the disaster, I would have slapped you to death."

"..."

At this time, Qin Huairu quickly changed the subject and looked at Yan Bugui and said, "Third Uncle, Xu Damao in the backyard has a large shed all to himself. Can you guys come with me to the backyard?"

"Okay! Thank you, Huairu."

"You're welcome! Aren't we all neighbors in the same courtyard?"

Today, Shazhu was really disgusted. "Bah! How shameless! Another one taking advantage of others' well-being."

"..." Qin Huairu was also dumbfounded by Sha Zhu's scolding.

However, Bang Geng, who was standing by, ran over looking for death, "Shazhu, why are you talking to my mom like that?"

"Pa pa pa..." With a few slaps, Sha Zhu slapped Bang Geng hard, and several of Bang Geng's teeth were knocked out.

At this moment, Sha Zhu had everyone completely stunned. "Bang Geng, fuck you! I won't argue with you! Do you really think you're a big shot?"

Qin Huairu quickly protected the stick behind him and said, "He Yuzhu, how could you hit someone?"

"Qin Huairu, if you don't know how to educate your child, I will help you educate him well. If it happens again, I will kill your whole family."

"..."

At this time, an old man named Yi Zhonghai hurried over to smooth things over. He didn't want Qin Huairu's family to have a conflict with Sha Zhuduo, so he asked Qin Huairu to complete the matter. Besides, only Qin Huairu could talk to Xu Damao.

However, Qin Huairu came to the backyard with a sullen face. No matter how much Qin Huairu said, Xu Damao refused to agree.

In a rage, Yan Jiefang wanted to burn down Xu Damao's earthquake-resistant shed, but was slapped hard by Xu Damao.

However, Yan Jiefang, who looked strong on the outside but was actually weak, was glaring with anger and did not dare to fight back. In the end, he left the backyard with a very embarrassed face.

After all, Xu Damao is now a big shot, and Yan Jiefang's behavior just now was irrational. Now, after being slapped a few times, he is sobered up out of fear.

Yan Bugui reflected on where he had gone wrong, but no one answered his question.

After reflection, Yan Bugui started to plan again, intending to take the initiative and take people to occupy a good piece of land to build an earthquake-proof shed. Maybe then the land would be his. The third uncle was worried about what others would say about him, so he asked the second uncle Liu Haizhong to help.

However, Suning was dissatisfied with the behavior of Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong, and ordered them to stop all work and demolish the buildings, otherwise the street office would intervene.

"Director Su, why is it allowed in other courtyards but not in ours?"

"Then you can move to another courtyard."

"..."

"Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong, if you want to lose your jobs, go ahead and build it. I'm determined to make all of you get out of this courtyard."

"..."

In the end, the third uncle and the second uncle dismantled the earthquake shelter obediently, even though they were unwilling to do so.

Soon after, Liu Guangtian, the second son of the Liu family, was removed from his leadership position and his housing was taken back. With nowhere to go, he wanted to encourage Liu Haizhong to build an earthquake-proof shed.

"Dad, Mom, other courtyards are building permanent earthquake shelters, why are you not making any moves?"

"Humph! The guy named Su in the front yard won't allow it."

"What? Isn't he too domineering?"

"Liu Guangtian, since you're so awesome, go talk to that guy surnamed Su!"

"I……"

Originally, the third brother Liu Guangfu also wanted to return home to live, after all, this would allow him to occupy the house in advance, but when he saw this situation, he left in shame.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui naturally felt very regretful, but they did not dare to provoke Suning easily, so they could only hide this helplessness and frustration in their hearts.
