Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

The truth will out eventually. A few days later, Xu Damao rushed into the He family's house excitedly, forgetting to even knock on the door.

"Zhu Zi, great news! Yi Zhonghai, that old man without a son, has developed a slight, frequent tremor in his right arm, making him unable to work as a fitter. The steel rolling mill has reassigned him to be a warehouse keeper."

His monthly salary is only 250,000 yuan, which is 150,000 yuan less than what he earns as a fitter. One is an old man without descendants, and the other is disabled. Let's see how arrogant he can be. Xu Damao harbored a lot of resentment towards Yi Zhonghai.

"Yi Zhonghai's right arm is trembling. What's the reason? He was fine before." He Yuzhu pretended not to know.

"It's possible he was angered by Jia Zhangshi. Taking away the property of a childless person is a real blow to Yi Zhonghai's heart. How could he not be angry? My father said that the trembling hands were related to his anger."

I don't understand the reason, nor do I want to understand the reason. I'm just very happy when Yi Zhonghai is unlucky, letting him keep acting like a big shot in the courtyard.

Xu Damao's joy was genuine, evident in his words; he truly did not want Yi Zhonghai to have an easy life.

"What is Yi Zhonghai's attitude towards this matter, given that it involves Jia Zhangshi?"

"Haha, my dad told me that at the steel rolling mill, Yi Zhonghai's face was terribly gloomy, and he ignored all the workers, including Jia Dongxu."

If it weren't for Jia Zhangshi's reasons, why would she ignore Jia Dongxu? He used to be Yi Zhonghai's biological father, which proves that his troubles are inseparable from Jia Zhangshi.

He's so petty. It's just that Jia Zhangshi suffered a loss of her family line. Why is he so agitated? He's made himself sick with anger. One should be more magnanimous. Xu Damao laughed loudly.

"Let me tell you, Yi Zhonghai is also pitiful in the steel rolling mill. No worker has a good word to say about him. They all think it's retribution. This guy is too hypocritical. He lied to his wife for twenty years."

Such retribution is too lenient; God should have struck him dead with lightning. Keeping him alive is just another scourge, a hypocrite.

"If Yi Zhonghai can't be a fitter, does that mean he'll be considered disabled and only be able to do jobs for disabled people? He took a few days off before going to work in the warehouse; he should have seen a doctor."

"My dad said that his right arm is very difficult to cure, and many elderly people in the past had the same problem."

"A salary of 250,000 is not a small amount; it's enough for Yi Zhonghai to live on alone. He's lucky he wasn't fired outright."

"Yi Zhonghai was lucky to avoid being fired. Before he went to work as a warehouse keeper, he cursed God in the workshop and I heard that he also glared at Jia Dongxu fiercely."

Yi Zhonghai should place the blame on Jia Zhangshi. Given his personality, he would never let Jia Zhangshi, or even her entire family, off the hook. What a pity for Qin Huairu.

Damn it, the beginning was all normal language, but the last sentence, "What's there to regret about Qin Huairu?", makes it sound like she's not a member of the Jia family.

"It's a good thing that Yi Zhonghai is in trouble. Everyone in the courtyard already knows and is ready to laugh at him and see him deal with Jia Zhangshi." Xu Damao is in a really good mood.

The Jia family!

"Mother, this time Yi Zhonghai's incident has caused a huge uproar. He's already working in the warehouse and his attitude towards me is very bad. It seems he's trying to pin the blame on you."

"It's because you ate his ill-gotten gains that he got angry, that's why his arm was trembling. Yi Zhonghai is not a good person; you must be careful of him in the future."

"I'm not afraid of him at all. He took 1.6 million yuan from me, and I'm going to settle this score with him. If Yi Zhonghai doesn't teach you the skills, who else will?" Mrs. Jia was quite concerned about her son.

"There should be some. The workshop might assign me. I'm still an apprentice. If my master is transferred, another experienced master will be assigned to teach me. I shouldn't have any major problems. You just need to pay close attention."

"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with Yi Zhonghai." Jia Zhangshi said confidently.

The deaf old lady's house!

"Xiao Yi, is there really no way to treat your arm? You've seen the doctor several times, but it's getting worse. Is it related to Jia Zhangshi taking things from your house?"

"Yes, I was furious when I found out that Jia Zhangshi had taken the things. I'm only forty years old, and they dare to take advantage of my family's infertility without any scruples."

At that moment, I started to feel a slight tremor in my right arm, which must have been related to Jia Zhangshi. Had I known I would end up like this, I would never have settled things with her privately.

"You want to deal with Jia Zhangshi?"

"I'm thinking about Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu too. I'll deal with the whole Jia family." Yi Zhonghai's face was contorted with rage.

"They should be punished. The Jia family went too far. Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents."

You have two ways to deal with them. One is to hire someone to do it, which will cost money, but you can't let anyone know who you are, and you also have to withstand the interrogation by the military control committee.

Secondly, waiting for an opportunity in the courtyard would take a very long time, as Jia Zhangshi had many enemies and had offended almost everyone in the courtyard.

"Right now, the best candidate is Liu Haizhong, he's all talk and no action, a complete bum. The others have some brains, and Zhuzi spends too little time at home to cause any conflict. The choice is yours."

Yi Zhonghai hesitated, mainly because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure at the Military Control Commission. If he confessed, his fate would be grim. He gritted his teeth.

"Grandma, I'll wait half a year before finding someone to deal with Jia Zhangshi. Let's start with Liu Haizhong; he's not very bright." Yi Zhonghai finally backed down.

"It's your decision."

"Grandma, there's also the one million yuan a year from Tan Guilan. My monthly salary is only..."

"Sigh, the price we paid back then was not small. Things were almost over, but you were harmed like this by Jia Zhangshi. I'll speak to her on her behalf."

"Fifty thousand, halved, five hundred thousand a year. It wouldn't be good not to give her a penny since the agreement is less than a year old, and the term for which she'll receive the money will be shorter." The deaf old lady was confident about this.

"Grandma, what do you think I should do from now on?"

"Sigh, Xiao Yi, the best thing for you now is to remarry Xiao Tan and get back together, but the chances are slim. Your reputation isn't good in the courtyard or in this area."

Since everyone knows you can't have children, it's almost impossible for you to marry a young woman again. If you're willing, you can marry a widow with a child.

Her child needs to be young, and the woman can't be too domineering. Let the child support you in your old age; give up on Jia Dongxu. Your relationship with Zhuzi is terrible, what a pity.

"I guess this is all I can do. It's all the Jia family's fault. I won't let them get away with this." Yi Zhonghai was furious.

That evening, the deaf old lady went to find Tan Guilan and spent half an hour persuading her before Tan Guilan reluctantly agreed to Yi Zhonghai's request.

They'll give you 500,000 yuan a year for ten years.

After Yi Zhonghai got into trouble, Tan Guilan had already thought about giving him money. She knew Yi Zhonghai's character well and knew she should back down a bit and not push him too hard.

She asked He Yuzhu what she thought, and the advice was for her to back down. Yi Zhonghai was like a mad dog now, biting people indiscriminately. She should let him fight with Jia Zhangshi while she quietly raised the two children.

Because bank interest rates are very high this year, she can get at least 12 million yuan. With the increase in the principal of her savings, she doesn't care as much about 500,000 yuan anymore; her two children are the most important.

He couldn't agree too readily, so he argued with the deaf old lady for half an hour, and in the end, both of them were satisfied.

Tan Guilan originally intended to give up all one million, but she didn't expect there would be another ten years, with each person receiving an income of 500,000. Why wouldn't she take something that was given away for free?

The deaf old lady was happy that she had stepped in and that the money and the term of service had been halved. Her biggest gain was that Tan Guilan did not reject her and that she would have the opportunity to take care of her in her old age in the future.

It doesn't matter how many dollars you contribute each month; you can donate your courtyard house to the country, and then the country will start supporting you. Having connections in the government makes things easier.
