Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

Director Yang was a little puzzled, wondering if this old lady was Jia Dongxu's biological mother. Why didn't she cry when her son died, but was busy bargaining for compensation from the factory?

He quickly glanced at the union chairman next to him, who said, "Auntie, this is the case. According to the compensation standards of the factory and the department, and combined with Comrade Jia Dongxu's type of work and length of service, the compensation for his situation should be 200 yuan..."

"Two hundred?!" Jia Zhang glared at him, "You want to buy my son Dongxu's life for two hundred yuan? No! You have to pay at least one thousand!"

One thousand? Everyone present was stunned. Isn't this old lady asking for too much? The compensation for the death of a factory worker was never even one thousand yuan.

The union chairman quickly said, "Auntie, I understand your feelings, but this request is too high. We simply cannot..."

Before she finished speaking, Jia Zhang sat down on the ground and clapped her hands on her thighs: "Dongxu, open your eyes and look! You even lost your life working for the factory, and these people don't even want to compensate you. They want to starve your mother to death, starve your two children to death, no, three children, and the one in your wife's belly!"

"Dongxu, if you know what's happening in the underworld, come out and take them all away!"

The factory leaders were all upset. Is this old lady summoning gods?

Finally, after Jia Zhang's unyielding struggle, the factory leaders finally became fed up and had no choice but to raise the compensation standard by a large margin.

The pension was significantly increased from 200 yuan to 500 yuan.

He also promised to leave Jia Dongxu's work quota to Qin Huairu. Since Qin Huairu was pregnant, she could wait until she gave birth to the child and weaned her before going back to work. During this period, he would also give her a basic living allowance of ten yuan per month.

The contest ended with Jia Zhang's great victory. Only then did she let out a long howl of satisfaction: "Dongxu, my son, you died so unjustly! Once you left, how could I and my good grandson Banggeng survive!"

"Dongxu, you have to keep an eye on your wife. If she dares to remarry and ignores your mother and your son, you should come out from downstairs and take her away with you..."

Everyone was stunned. His son's body was not even cold yet, but he started to put shackles on his daughter-in-law?

Chapter 79 Yi Zhonghai had a nightmare

Jia Dongxu's death caused an uproar in the steel rolling mill, but what people discussed more was not his untimely death, but the fact that the fitter workshop finally had one less burden.

I've been working in the factory for several years and I don't know how to do anything. I can even lose my life just by cutting an angle iron. It's funny to anyone who hears this.

People like this can only hold a stable job in a state-owned factory. If they were to work somewhere else, they would have been kicked out long ago.

This is great. Not only did he not make any contribution to the steel mill, but after his death he also extorted a lot of compensation from the factory.

Five hundred yuan! This is equivalent to the original pension of two workers.

Everyone else treated this as a joke, but Director Yang was just depressed. Jia Zhang had set such a precedent. If a similar accident occurred in the factory in the future, compensation would be troublesome.

Originally, Director Yang asked every cadre who knew about this to keep it to themselves and not tell anyone to prevent it from being leaked. But someone told the news, and now everyone in the steel mill and the street knows about it.

In addition, because of Jia Dongxu's death, the fitter workshop was deducted from its safety production bonus for that year. In particular, the workshop director Duan Dagang had his salary reduced by one level. This made Director Duan look gloomy at work for several days in a row. He would yell at everyone he saw: "Work harder and pay attention to safety. If anyone gets a box lunch like Jia Dongxu again, I'll curse his ancestors!"

And Yi Zhonghai, as Jia Dongxu's master, was also fined half a month's salary.

However, what Yi Zhonghai cares about most is certainly not the loss of half a month's salary. What he cares about is that the retirement candidate he has carefully cultivated for several years is gone. Who will he rely on for retirement in the future?

In the past few years, in order to please the Jia family, he has always been biased towards the Jia family and has offended many people in the courtyard.

It is not easy to find another person to take care of your elderly care.

If you count on your fingers, there are only a few young people in this courtyard who have no parents.

Xu Damao’s parents are still alive, they just don’t live in this courtyard, so don’t even think about it.

Sha Zhu's mother is gone, but his father He Daqing just ran away with a widow. He is not dead. Maybe he will come back one day.

Also, when He Daqing ran away, he asked me to take care of Sha Zhu and his sister, and sent them some money every month. But I concealed all the money, and took care of them? Qin Huairu was so obsessed with Sha Zhu that he spent all his savings on Qin Huairu, and even ignored his own sister.

This idiot can't be counted on.

The only one left seemed to be Yang Chong, a man without a father or a mother.

Can I let Yang Chong take care of me in my old age? It seems like a good idea. He has no parents, and he is smart and hardworking. Both he and his wife have jobs, so there will be no pressure if they take care of me in my old age. But Yi Zhonghai would never dream of this.

If Yang Chong is still working outside, I can give him some benefits and give him the quota of the steel rolling mill in my hand. Maybe it will work.

But now, the couple are both employees of the steel rolling mill, and will be treated as future cadres. My poor indicator has no appeal to them at all.

What's more, he has completely offended Yang Chong because of the Jia family these days, so how could he possibly provide for him in his old age?

Oh, right, Yang Chong...

Yi Zhonghai suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He thought about it and suddenly remembered that on the morning of Jia Dongxu's death, Yang Chong seemed to have gone to their locksmith workshop for the first time.

This kid never went to the workshop on normal days. He never went there early or late, but he went there that day.

And as soon as he left, something happened to Jia Dongxu.

Is it a coincidence?

A terrible thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but shudder.

He also remembered that just the day before, he gave Jia Dongxu twenty yuan and asked him to ask Feng Wu to teach Yang Chong a lesson.

As a result, Yang Chong returned safely, but Feng Wu disappeared.

Considering this incident again, Yi Zhonghai felt even more creepy, as if Jia Dongxu's ghost was lingering in his house.

As soon as he fell asleep at night, he dreamed that Jia Dongxu, covered in blood, said in front of him: "Master, I died so unjustly, it's all your fault. You gave me money to teach Yang Chong a lesson. Now Yang Chong is fine, but I am gone. Master, I will not let you go..."

As he spoke, two hands reached out and grabbed his neck.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to shout for help, but his mouth was wide open but no sound came out.

He was so scared that he struggled hard, but his hands and feet seemed to be tied up with ropes and he couldn't move.

Finally, he exerted all his strength and suddenly sat up from the bed.

At this moment, I suddenly woke up and found that I was dreaming.

The old lady next to him was startled and quickly turned on the light and asked, "Old man, why are you yelling in the middle of the night?"

Then she looked at him and said in surprise, "Why is there so much sweat on your head?"

Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth and gasped for breath, still in shock, and didn't speak for a long time.

An auntie wiped the sweat off his head with a towel and said, "Old man, what happened to you these past few days? You always have nightmares at night and you are absent-minded during the day. Dongxu is dead, so it's useless for you to be sad."

Yi Zhonghai shook his head: "It's okay, go to sleep."

The next day, Yi Zhonghai got up early, looked in the mirror, and found that his eye circles were as dark as a giant panda, and his eyes were full of bloodshot.

He didn't sleep well that night. As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw Jia Dongxu.

I kept thinking about the scene where Jia Dongxu was stabbed by the grinding wheel that day, and the more I thought about it, the more creepy it became.

The more I think about it, the creepier it gets.

After getting up, he washed his face hastily, without even having time to eat a bite of food, and rushed to the steel mill.

An anxious lady called out from behind: "Old man, it's only six o'clock now. Why are you going out so early? You didn't get a good night's sleep. Can't you have a meal before you go?"

Yi Zhonghai ignored him and hurried out of the yard.

The three aunts in the front yard were full of admiration: "Old Yan, look at Old Yi, how hard he works. It's only what time, and he has already gone to work without even having dinner. No wonder he can be an eighth-level worker. No one else can do this."

Yan Bugui shook his head: "Him? He won't get up early unless there's something to gain. When have you ever seen him so motivated before? Who knows what he's thinking about." Then he turned his head and looked into the room: "Where's Jie Cheng? Is he up? Old Yi, an eighth-level worker, has gone to work, but he, an apprentice, is still sleeping?"

The third aunt sighed, "No, I'm still sleeping. I went to see Yu Li again last night. She said the same thing, saying that your family is too stingy and living with you will be a torture." She complained, "It's all your fault. You said you bought all the things, why didn't you let Sha Zhu do it all? You had to keep so much. Now you save money, but your daughter-in-law ran away."

Yan Bugui curled his lips and said weakly, "Can you blame me for this? I just wanted to leave some for the second, third, and fourth brothers to try. Besides, how can two meat dishes be considered shabby? They are just too picky."

Chapter 80 You are trying to seduce a wild man again

Yi Zhonghai hurried to the factory, ignoring the surprised looks along the way, and went straight to the workshop.

Without changing his clothes, he went directly to the grinding machine where Jia Dongxu had the accident.

Ever since Jia Dongxu's accident, this grinding machine has become an unlucky thing in everyone's eyes. No one is willing to work there, and no one even replaces the broken grinding wheel.

When Yi Zhonghai came forward, the scene of Jia Dongxu being hit by the grinding wheel and falling down covered in blood that day seemed to reappear in front of him.

He felt dizzy and quickly held onto the machine next to him to steady himself.

He kept his eyes closed for a long time, then slowly opened them, squatted in front of the grinder and looked at it carefully for a long time. Finally, he found that the traces of the broken grinding wheel were a little abnormal.

But he couldn't tell what was abnormal, but a picture kept appearing in his mind.

There was a person squatting here like him, and he used his hands to pry open a barely noticeable crack on the grinding wheel.

This scene made Yi Zhonghai feel incredible, because the hardness and strength of the grinding wheel were very high, and even using pliers might not be able to create a crack, let alone human hands.

He tried hard to get rid of this absurd picture, but it would not go away and was entangled in his mind.

Could it be that this grinding wheel was really broken apart intentionally by someone's hands?

Yi Zhonghai felt dizzy again. He was not sad about Jia Dongxu's death.

Instead, he felt a panic because of Jia Dongxu's death.

He was afraid that he would be next.

If it was really as he guessed, then this was not a work accident, but a complete murder.

And the person who murdered Jia Dongxu could not be anyone else.

But if it was really him, then his next target of revenge would most likely be me.

Yi Zhonghai sat down on the ground, feeling a cold sweat breaking out, his clothes were soaked.

While Yi Zhonghai was panicking, Yang Chong was listening to Yan Bugui's complaints: "Chongzi, do you think my life is easy? I support a whole family with my salary alone, and I have to use the 500 yuan I saved from my frugal life to buy him a job. Now, just because I left some meat for the kids, they say I'm stingy and that I can't marry into other families. They said forget it, Jiecheng doesn't understand me, and he doesn't think about it. If I wasn't so stingy and didn't spend so frugally, would they be able to survive until now? Would Yan Jiecheng be able to work in a state-owned factory?"

Yang Chong smiled and said, "Third Uncle, don't be angry. Isn't Jie Cheng just anxious? The marriage was about to be finalized, but it suddenly changed. Anyone would be anxious. But no matter how anxious he is, he can't take it out on you. Let him coax his girlfriend. She has a job, and a good life is waiting for her in the future. Don't keep thinking about it."

Yan Bugui nodded: "I told the boss the same thing, but he said Yu Li didn't meet him at all in the past few days, and he couldn't coax her. Alas, she looks like a pretty girl, why is she so depressed?"

Yang Chong listened to Yan Bugui's chatter, but his eyes were looking at Qin Huairu in front of the pool.

Qin Huairu was washing clothes there, and Jia Dongxu's death had little impact on her.

She did not work on the day Jia Dongxu died. She sat there in a daze for a long time holding Xiaodang.

The next day, as soon as Jia Dongxu was buried, she continued to do her usual work of washing clothes, cooking, doing housework and taking care of the children.

But this kind of life probably won't last long. In a few days, she will become even busier.

Because Jia Dongxu died, the only income supporting the family was cut off. Although the factory gave them ten yuan a month for living expenses, that mere ten yuan was obviously not enough to support this family for a month, especially for Banggeng and Jia Zhangshi, who were greedier than anyone else.

What's more, I heard that she would give some of the ten dollars to Jia Zhang, saying that it was money saved for her retirement.

As for the 500 yuan pension that the factory gave to Jia Dongxu, it was all put into Jia Zhang's pocket, and Qin Huairu didn't even see her.

This woman is somewhat innocent, especially since she is pregnant with a little Sophora japonica, Yang Chong thought.

However, Jia Dongxu's death was inevitable. The timeline in the TV series was the same, Jia Dongxu died before Huaihua was born.

So, I can't blame myself for this. Even if I wasn't there, he would still have died at this time.

While Yang Chong was still thinking about it, Sha Zhu came out from the north room and was about to brush his teeth when he saw Qin Huairu washing clothes there.

"Oh, Sister Qin, it's so cold, why did you take a shower so early in the morning? What if you get frozen? You're pregnant." Sha Zhu felt distressed.

Before Qin Huairu could say anything, Jia Zhang came out of the room and said, "Qin Huairu, your husband has just died two days ago, his body is still warm, and you are seducing a wild man now?"

Sha Zhu's face twitched, and he turned around and went back to the house.

Qin Huairu's face turned pale and tears welled up in her eyes, but she said nothing. She lowered her head and just rubbed her clothes hard.

Jia Zhang was still chewing melon seeds as she snorted, "Hmph! Once you enter my Jia family, you can only be a member of my Jia family. Even if you become a ghost, you can never leave this door!"

Then he touched Bang Geng's head and said, "Be good, Bang Geng, let's go home and have dinner and meat."

Bang Geng clapped his hands happily: "Oh, it's time to eat meat, how great!"

Yang Chong shook his head, went back to the house to eat, and pushed his bicycle with Yu Xiu to go to work.

As soon as he left the house, Xu Damao followed behind him, pushing his bicycle: "Chongzi, wait for me, let's go together."

"By the way, Chongzi, I always see a military vehicle coming to pick you up these few nights. What are you doing there? Why does it look like you're a pretty girl? Aren't you afraid that Xiu'er will be jealous?" Xu Damao asked with a smile while riding a bicycle side by side with him.

Yu Xiu smiled and said, "Why should I be jealous? He is just a child. Why should I be jealous of him? Besides, my brother Chongzi is not that kind of person. He went there to treat a disease."

Xu Damao was stunned: "See a doctor? Chongzi, when did you learn to see a doctor? How come I don't know?"
