Courtyard House: Is Xu Damao a childless man? Let me help.

If I want to go back to the steel rolling mill, I'll most likely have to beg Director Li again, since he's now the director instead of the deputy director.

If their appetite grows even bigger, and they helped Xu Damao get a shorter sentence before by asking for two gold bars and several hundred dollars, and now they're arranging for the tainted Xu Damao to come back to work, won't that double their profit?

So, with the idea of ​​saving money in mind, Mr. and Mrs. Xu hoped that Ye Jianchuan could help them arrange a job in a food factory.

Ye Jianchuan certainly couldn't agree to such conditions, although later, thanks to the production drawings he provided, the food factory established two new production lines.

Ye Jianchuan actually got workstations on both of these new production lines, but even if he gave them to someone in the factory, he would never give them to Xu Damao!

After all, there are some things Ye Jianchuan does at the food factory that aren't really suitable to discuss in the courtyard, such as... Qin Huairu's younger sister, Qin Jingru.

Previously, Qin Huairu had been plotting to get Qin Jingru to follow Ye Jianchuan with her. Over the past few years, has Ye Jianchuan been able to resist this temptation?

... ... ......

The answer is, of course, that they can't stand it anymore. So now, not only Qin Huairu, but Qin Jingru has also become like Ye Jianchuan.

Since I have a relationship with these two sisters, I naturally visit that courtyard more often.

The distance between that courtyard and the traditional courtyard house is actually quite far, and it's not even on the way, so it would be very difficult for the people in the traditional courtyard house to see Ye Jianchuan and the others from there.

However, the courtyard is not far from the food factory. If Xu Damao is arranged to work here, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he will discover the existence of this courtyard.

Having discovered that he and the Qin sisters, Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu, would frequently visit the courtyard for a period of time, how could Xu Damao not harbor any wicked thoughts?

Besides, Xu Damao is a ticking time bomb. Keeping him around makes it much more difficult for Ye Jianchuan to do anything at the food factory.

所以叶建川果断的『内，部/群』:9.8"0'2？0"5。8'5,6绝了许父许母希望叶建川能够帮许大茂找个工作的请求，而是转而又给许父许母加了一百块钱，希望用钱能够解决这个问题。

However, Mr. and Mrs. Xu were also calculating. Getting a job from Director Li was definitely not something that could be solved with just one or two hundred.

So they insisted that Ye Jianchuan help Xu Damao find a job, even if it meant foregoing the 200 yuan subsidy.

Chapter 254 Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye

Now Ye Jianchuan was in a bit of a dilemma. Arranging a job wasn't too difficult, but the problem was that once a job was arranged for him, he might not be able to keep his 'secrets'!

However, Ye Jianchuan quickly came up with a solution. What if he didn't arrange a job for him at the food factory? Would it work if he put him in a machine repair shop instead?

Of course, there's no problem. As for the machine repair shop, although I'm not particularly familiar with it, as long as there's enough exchange of benefits, getting a job shouldn't be a problem.

After clarifying his thoughts, Ye Jianchuan took action again, finding Mr. and Mrs. Xu and explaining his conditions. This time, Mr. and Mrs. Xu hesitated.

The work at the machine repair shop is basically the same as that at the steel rolling mill, since the machine repair shop is also a "257" branch of the steel rolling mill.

However, since it is a branch factory, there is naturally no position like projectionist. So, if my son goes to the machine repair shop, he will probably have to start as a fitter or forger.

This still left Mr. and Mrs. Xu somewhat dissatisfied, but after Ye Jianchuan's repeated insistence, they finally agreed.

In this way, Ye Jianchuan successfully acquired Xu Damao's house. As for the empty house in the front yard, it also had its origins.

The front yard was originally full of people, but after this gust of wind blew up, one of the workers in the front yard was arrested and criticized because of his bad family background, and was sent to the farm to live in a cowshed.

Not only were they sent to farms to live in cowsheds, but these houses, which were originally allocated to individuals by the state, have also been taken back, and the ownership is now in the hands of the local government.

Ye Jianchuan went directly to the subdistrict office and told Director Wang his thoughts. Initially, Director Wang wanted to reject Ye Jianchuan because Ye Jianchuan already owned a house.

But Ye Jianchuan knew how to handle things. After thinking for a moment, he successfully persuaded Director Wang to agree by offering him a job at a food factory.

In this way, Xu Damao's house and his own house were combined by simply knocking down a door between the two houses, thus creating a large house.

This house is big enough to be a wedding home, and it can even accommodate three or four children later.

As for the room where He Yushui used to live? Ye Jianchuan was too lazy to keep it. The room was small, less than ten square meters, and it was in the middle courtyard, so it wouldn't be very convenient for him to keep it.

So I decided to do him a favor and just gave it to Sha Zhu, so that Sha Zhu and his wife could use it as a nursery or something.

With the house settled, the next thing to do is the bride price. Although Sha Zhu and He Yushui both said they didn't want a bride price, it's such a big deal as marriage, so they still have to give a little something.

Even if Shazhu and the others don't want it, we can just bring it back as part of their dowry later.

So the legendary "three turns and one sound" is definitely something we can't escape. As for the "three turns and one sound," the bicycle had already been bought before, and Ye Jianchuan had also bought a radio, but everyone thought that Lou Xiao'e had taken Ye Jianchuan's radio to pay off a debt.

Ye Jianchuan can just take these things out of his storage space later, so he doesn't need to worry about these two items.

However, the sewing machine and the watch are another troublesome matter, and Ye Jianchuan feels that he should also get a watch to wear.

So Ye Jianchuan spent money and asked around, and after a lot of effort, he finally managed to get two tickets for watches and one ticket for a sewing machine.

With the three turns and one sound complete, it's time to prepare the legendary 'seventy-two legs' next.

These seventy-two legs actually refer to the legs of the furniture; a rhyme about them even originated from that story.

"A double bed, a large wardrobe, and a matching coffee table and sofa; a five-drawer chest and a writing desk, looking grand and luxurious; tall and short cabinets, bedside tables, the more furniture, the richer the family."

Ye Jianchuan could buy some of these pieces of furniture directly, but some of them needed to be custom-made.

So Ye Jianchuan spent another month preparing these furniture items.

Of course, while making these preparations, Ye Jianchuan and He Yushui had already retrieved their marriage certificate.

These preparations are really more for the sake of creating a sense of 'ritual'.

And so, Ye Jianchuan's own "life's most important matter" finally came to an end.

.. .......。 。 。 。 。

Seven years later, after Ye Jianchuan got married, he began to live a peaceful and stable life.

Of course, while others live their own lives behind closed doors, Ye Jianchuan, on the other hand, not only lives his own life behind closed doors, but also occasionally climbs out the window to look for Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru.

Over the course of those seven years, a number of things happened in the courtyard house. First, naturally, shortly after Ye Jianchuan and He Yushui got married, Xu Damao was released.

Xu Damao, who spent a full three years inside, was quite lucky. He wasn't singled out as a case of exemplars or anything, and he was released quietly after serving his three years.

Of course, he was bullied quite a bit while he was inside, because Xu Damao was a talkative guy.

However, none of this affected Ye Jianchuan. After Xu Damao came out, Ye Jianchuan immediately put him to work at the machine repair shop.

After returning, Xu Damao knew that the current climate was not favorable for someone with a tainted past like him, so he became very obedient and started to behave himself. In the past few years, he hasn't caused any trouble.

Besides, even if Xu Damao still had some ideas, his first target wouldn't be Ye Jianchuan anymore, but rather Director Yang, Yang Weimin, and Yu Haitang, who got him arrested.

Unfortunately, Director Yang has already stepped down after 2.5 days, and Yang Weimin has also disappeared. As for Yu Haitang? She's now Director Li's right-hand woman, so how could I dare to provoke her!

So Xu Damao could only temporarily remember this debt and see if there would be another chance to turn the tables.

Xu Damao wasn't singled out for targeted treatment, but Jia Zhangshi wasn't so lucky. She was already sentenced to seven years in prison, and seven years of labor reform was already taking a toll on her.

In the fifth year, Jia Zhangshi's case was brought up again. "Look at the amount of money involved! No way! Seven years isn't enough! Add another year and a half!" So, on top of the seven years, Jia Zhangshi's sentence was extended by another year and a half.

(After much consideration, I've decided not to go into detail for now; I'll just gloss over it to avoid any problems.)

Chapter 255 The Tragic Story of Jia Zhangshi

This year and a half was enough to kill Jia Zhangshi. The previous seven years were already enough to make Jia Zhangshi breathless. She had to do all kinds of labor every day, but the key problem was that she could no longer take her painkillers.

This made Jia Zhangshi suffer terribly during the first year or so of her imprisonment, but looking at it from another perspective, it was actually a good thing for her.

Because it had been more than a year since she stopped taking medication, Jia Zhangshi was forced to do manual labor every day, and the amount of physical activity she did was very high.

So after being in there for more than a year, not only did he successfully lose weight, but he also overcame his addiction to painkillers.

However, there are advantages as well as disadvantages. At Jia Zhangshi's age, she was overweight and had poor physical condition in the first year or two after entering the prison, so she suffered from back pain every day.

After a year or two, Jia Zhangshi successfully adapted to life inside during the two years in between, which were also the two most relaxed years she spent there.

However, after two years, as she got older, her physical functions began to decline, and Jia Zhangshi could no longer hold on.

　27 In the fifth year, the news of the extended sentence came, which became the last straw for Jia Zhangshi. After receiving the news, Jia Zhangshi persevered for less than a week before being injured while working.

Then... Jia Zhangshi fell into a vicious cycle of recuperating, working, getting injured again, and recuperating again.

By the time she was released at the end of 74, Jia Zhangshi could only be described as 'covered in wounds'.

What's even more tragic is that after returning to the courtyard house, Jia Zhangshi was still very unpopular. All the money she had gotten from Uncle Yi was returned to him in exchange for a 'letter of forgiveness'.

As for Zhang Xiangyang's situation, it was actually resolved. In the end, not only was Zhang Xiangyang arrested, but the several hundred yuan that Jia Zhangshi had lost was also recovered from his "assets".

However, Jia Zhangshi never saw a single penny of those several hundred yuan. After all, the money eventually ended up in Bang Geng's hands. It would be strange if there was any left after so many years.

What made Jia Zhangshi even more desperate was that she had finally managed to hold out until she was released, only to find that there was nothing left in her house.

Not only did she have no food or water, but she also had no job, no source of income, and... not even a single person to take care of her.

So, where did Banggeng go? Well, Jia Zhangshi was lucky enough to catch up with it; Banggeng was "cut in line" in early 74.

Well, it's basically just a different way of saying "educated youth going to the countryside." Of course, Uncle Yi was quite capable; he didn't send Banggeng to a remote place to suffer. The place he was assigned to was on the outskirts of Beijing, not too far away.

However, Bang Geng definitely won't be able to come back in the short term. Besides, even if Bang Geng did come back, whether he would still take care of Jia Zhangshi is another question.

With Banggeng not at home, and the family having no income, no savings, and no food, what should Jia Zhangshi do to survive?

Go ask Uncle Yi for help? Sorry, Uncle Yi doesn't give Jia Zhangshi any face at all. When he heard that Jia Zhangshi came to ask for some food, he simply closed the door.

After all, in Uncle Yi's opinion, it was already a great pity that Jia Zhangshi didn't die inside. Now she wants me to give her food? No way!

Left with no other choice, Jia Zhangshi went to find another Uncle Er, only to find out that Uncle Er was no longer the person in charge of the courtyard.

After all, Uncle Er has been cleaning this toilet for seven years. If he were to become the No. 1 Uncle in the courtyard, the other residents wouldn't be happy about it!

Then... Sha Zhu successfully took the stage and became the 'decision-maker' in the courtyard, followed closely by Yan Jiecheng and Ye Jianchuan.

The three older men have become a thing of the past in this upheaval.

Logically speaking, it would have been right for Third Uncle to continue as the head of the household, but unfortunately, he has been burdened with the label of "stinking intellectual" and has yet to be removed from it.

So although most people in the courtyard didn't have any objections, as long as someone secretly had an opinion, the matter wouldn't be settled. Well, that "someone" refers to Uncle Er. Even if he himself is in trouble, you shouldn't expect anything good either!

After learning the news, Jia Zhangshi had no choice but to turn to Sha Zhu again. With Sha Zhu's 'help,' they went to the street office together and finally managed to apply for some subsidies.

Of course, these subsidies were not free. After being released from the labor camp, Jia Zhangshi had hoped to get a little rest, but in the end, she still had to go back to doing manual labor.

Moreover, this time Director Wang didn't hold back and directly assigned her the task of shoveling manure.

Jia Zhangshi felt extremely awkward! But no matter how unwilling she was, in the end, for the sake of making a living, Jia Zhangshi had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

And so, after going around in circles, Jia Zhangshi finally embarked on the path of shoveling manure, a path she should have agreed to in the first place.
