Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 76: Deaf old lady? Old deaf man!
Don't mention that Ximen Lang has done his best to arrange everything for the brothers.
Just not.

They would not choose to refuse as they have a mission to accomplish.

So, seeing Ximen Lang actually offered them such generous conditions,
"The salary is set at 60, and I'll raise it later depending on the situation. Also, food, housing, three transfers, and a ring are all included. In short, I can't give you anything except a wife. All material needs are covered by me!" (If the salary is unreasonable, it can be changed at any time. Whatever everyone agrees on is what we get.)
"I'll even pay for all the targets you need to meet at work. After that, the factory wages and benefits will all be yours."

"I demand that when I need you, no matter what you are doing, you must drop everything and rush to my side. Even if it costs you your life, you must prioritize my safety!"

The brothers didn't say anything, and it was the eldest brother Zhang Long who answered on behalf of the four brothers.

"Don't say anything, Brother Lang, from now on, our lives will belong to you!"

The speed was so fast that in just a few words, these guys all became Ximen Lang's men.

With the green light from all parties already arranged, we didn't encounter any obstacles. We just found a small empty room next to Ximen Lang's office and put the guys in it.

After becoming Ximen Lang's people, they soon became employees of the steel rolling mill.

Coincidentally, at this time, a family in the 95 compound had a job transfer.

Then, by coincidence, Bai Ling directly gave the house to them.

"Two people share a small room. Let's make do with it for now. I'll arrange something for you when I find a house."

We even go home together after get off work.

This time, I really made it to my grandma's house.

Just as Ximen Lang and others were rushing to the courtyard, two rooms the size of ear rooms were vacated because a household suddenly moved out.

The courtyard suddenly became lively.

Even though many families have children who have not been born yet or have not grown up yet, the housing supply is not too tight.

However, everyone, who had long been accustomed to preparing for a rainy day, couldn't help but turn their attention to the two newly vacated rooms.

Especially since there was a big loser like Ximen Lang in the courtyard who really gave away benefits.
No, it was after such a great kind-hearted man like him appeared.

No one wants their descendants to leave this courtyard and leave Ximen Lang, who is loyal and righteous and is always there to help when times are tough.

So, as soon as they saw a house was vacant, everyone immediately turned their attention here and started discussing it heatedly.

"What's going on with Old Li's and Old Liu's families? Why did they just move out without saying anything? Are there really such fools these days?"

"I think you're the biggest fool. You didn't even know he was promoted?"

"What? He only graduated from elementary school? And he's being promoted? When did this happen?"

"I know, I know. It happened just these past two days. Their leader just mentioned that there were promotion spots available and told everyone to apply. As for Old Liu, he didn't take it seriously. He just followed the crowd and applied."

"But I never thought that the application was submitted in the morning and the receipt was approved in the afternoon. Today they will go to the Western Suburbs Machine Repair Factory to serve as his deputy workshop director!"

"He became deputy director right after being promoted? He's already an official!"

"Of course not. It's just a little far away. But it's still within the territory of the Forbidden City, not outside the capital."

After listening to all these stories, the aunt who asked the question finally got the full story from the other aunts. Then, she began to sigh.

"No wonder he left so easily. Even being a neighbor to Brother Lang couldn't keep him. It turns out he's become an official. Old Liu's wife will also become an official's wife in the future. Oh, if only my wife could have such a good thing too."

Then, the old lady who had been listening on the side but never said a word carefully wrote down the name of this aunt.

Including those who also showed envy, without exception, all of them were recorded in the little notebook in the old lady's heart.

As for the house that has attracted much attention
In Jia Zhang's words, every single one of them in the courtyard is just daydreaming and has no hope.

Not to mention that these houses have already been reserved, even if they were not available, the residents in the courtyard, who only have two rooms per person, would not meet the application requirements.

They can't even meet the application requirements, let alone have any idea of ​​owning the house.

Therefore, those who knew what was going on in their family gathered around to watch the fun.

When it’s time for dinner when the old men are about to come home, I quickly do whatever I want and go home to cook.

Of course, this matter must be kept in mind.

Besides being annoyed by the deaf old lady who was always following him around like a tail, there was an old lady who had no intention of caring about him.
No, with Yi Zhonghai stepping down, she is no longer an old lady.

That's fine.

"Old lady, I've told you many times. From now on, the bridge will be the bridge, the road will be the road, each family will be their own family, and each family will only take care of their own family. Besides, our two families have no relationship to begin with."

"When Zhonghai was the chief, he wanted to contribute more to the hospital and set an example, so he asked me to take good care of you. But now, the chief has been removed because of you. Do you understand what I mean?"

"But I, an old woman, can't live without you. I can't eat or sleep well these past few days when you haven't been around. Look at what kind of life I'm living, Chunhua. I really can't live without you."

Because habit becomes second nature and she has been living like this for so many years, Aunt Tan actually felt a little uncomfortable when she suddenly stopped taking care of the deaf old lady.

But she is not a cheap person.

If you can have more free time and peace, who would like to find a mother-in-law who has no blood relationship with you to take charge of you and respect you in every way?

Therefore, even though she felt a little bit reluctant in her heart, after Yi Zhonghai issued a strict order that she was not allowed to have any involvement with the old deaf man in the backyard in the future, Aunt Tan immediately obeyed Yi Zhonghai's order.

Just like back then, in order to establish his prestige in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai asked her to go to the backyard more often to take care of her.

But the deaf old lady couldn't bear the difficulty of going from luxury to frugality.

She can't live without Aunt Tan's service for a moment!
After she was sure that she couldn't do it alone, didn't want to do it, and couldn't do it, the deaf old lady directly pestered Aunt Tan.

"I know I've hurt Zhong Hai's feelings this time, but I can't do anything about it. After Director Wang yelled, I didn't know anything. I don't want to be an old woman anymore."

As he was speaking, Yi Zhonghai came back.

"Old deaf man, who let you into my house?!"
