Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

In the central courtyard of the quadrangle, Xu Damao couldn't help but teasing when he saw He Yuzhu and He Yushui walking towards his home with complicated faces.

"Silly pillar..."

"Look at Dongzi..."

"My wife hasn't married yet, but I'm sending her a bicycle..."

"Look at your sister Yu Shui, she can't even get enough food, let alone a bicycle?"

"You are such an unqualified brother."

"If I were you, I would have hit my head and died."

"As Yu Shui's biological brother, you don't spend the money you earn on your sister, but buy things for a stranger every day. You are so ungrateful. I really don't know what's going on in your head."

"Xu Damao, I told you not to talk nonsense..." He Yuzhu was hit in the sore spot and got angry immediately. He rushed towards Xu Damao with clenched fists.

Although Xu Damao was no longer afraid of He Yuzhu's fist, he was the one who provoked the incident today after all. If things really got out of hand, he would be the one who suffered in the end.

He immediately went home and closed the door, and before leaving, he did not forget to say something cruel: "Shazhu, you are so stupid, don't you know that a gentleman should act with his hands instead of his words..."

"Today, your grandfather Xu is happy and won't bother with you..."

Seeing that Xu Damao stayed indoors and refused to come out, He Yuzhu could do nothing no matter how angry he was.

If I really broke down the door and dragged Xu Damao out and beat him up, I would become unreasonable even though I was right.

The old man in the courtyard now is no longer Yi Zhonghai.

Before Yi Zhonghai was still a big boss, he didn't take much advantage of Xu Damao.

Now the uncle has changed. If he makes a big deal out of it, he will definitely suffer a great loss since he is not in the right.

He could only put away his fist and return to He Yushui in anger.

Seeing that He Yushui had a heavy face, even with a hint of sadness, no matter how stupid He Yuzhu was, he knew that he had heard what Xu Damao had just said.

An embarrassed expression immediately appeared on his face.

Ever since he acknowledged Yi Zhonghai as his godfather, He Yushui has been asking a lady for living expenses.

No, she is already the second aunt now.

As an older brother, He Yuzhu hasn't given He Yushui a penny for several months.

Sometimes the two sides met without even saying a word.

Taking another look at He Yushui who was thin due to long-term lack of nutrition, He Yuzhu had to admit that he was an unqualified brother no matter how unwilling he was.

He felt his pocket, wanting to take out a few dollars to buy something for He Yushui as a New Year's red envelope for her.

But soon an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

I just asked Wang Dong to borrow ten dollars a few days ago, but Qin Huairu coaxed me into borrowing it all with just a few words, leaving me with not a penny left.

He Yushui happened to see this scene, and an expression of genuine disappointment immediately appeared on his face.

He Yuzhu was obviously stimulated, and he didn't know where he got the courage from. He looked at He Yushui and said firmly: "Yushui..."

"Wang Dong can buy a bicycle for his unmarried wife..."

"You are my sister, I can also buy you a bicycle..."

"Before next summer vacation, I will buy you a bicycle and never let you be looked down upon in the yard."

He Yushui was frightened by Sha Zhu's words.

He stared at He Yuzhu for a full half minute, and after confirming that he was not joking, he said, "Forget it..."

"Your current salary is taken by the second uncle. After deducting the living expenses every month, there is hardly any money left. Do you still want to take advantage of the widow Qin and your godson? It's good enough to ensure that you don't go hungry. Where do you get the money to buy a bicycle..."

"If I want a bicycle, I will buy one myself after I graduate and start working..."

"But as your sister, I still want to give you some advice."

"Don't get too close to Widow Qin..." "Be careful, or she'll take away everything in the He family, and you, as her brother, won't even be able to find a wife, and the He family will eventually be extinct..."

He Yushui's words sounded more like a mockery of He Yuzhu.

He could suffer in front of outsiders and be looked down upon by others, but he could never let his own sister look down upon him.

Especially the last four words "no more descendants", which are not only an insult to him, but also an insult to the entire He family.

A pair of eyes suddenly turned red, staring at He Yushui and asked: "Yushui..."

"Is that how you see your brother?"

He Yushui smiled bitterly and asked back: "Did I say anything wrong?"

He Yuzhu's face suddenly turned pale, and he wanted to refute but couldn't find any reason.

In the past six months, although he worked in the steel mill every day and earned more than 20 yuan a month, he not only could not even support himself, but also owed Wang Dong nearly 100 yuan.

From this point of view alone, I am really disappointed with the way I conduct myself.

Looking at his skinny sister in front of him again, the disappointment on his face became even more intense.

At the same time, his determination to show himself in front of He Yushui and prove his ability became stronger and stronger.

He clenched his fists and said with a serious face: "Rainwater..."

"A brother's word is his bond."

"Don't worry about where I get the money, I get bicycle tickets."

"I will definitely buy you a bicycle in the first half of next year."

He Yushui did not take He Yuzhu's promise to heart.

He felt that his brother had been blinded by Qin Guafu, and there were only Qin Guafu and Banggeng in his mind.

As for the promise he made to himself just now, perhaps he would forget it all after tomorrow.

Walk directly to your room.

…………

The east wing of the front yard.

Looking at the yard that was quickly becoming deserted, Chen Dehui couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

He didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were so shameless.

As soon as the daughter and son-in-law pushed the bicycle back, the two of them came over to plot against him, and as soon as they entered the house, they expressed their feelings to Wang Dong.

"Dongzi..."

"Fortunately, you were prepared, otherwise I would have been tricked by those two old foxes just now."

Wang Dong replied seriously: "Uncle..."

"I have fought with Yi Zhonghai more than once or twice."

“I know this person very well.”

"He looks righteous, but he is actually full of evil intentions."

"He just lost his position as the head of the courtyard and suffered a great loss at our hands. He will definitely try to get it back."

"Moral blackmail is what this old fox is best at. He will definitely not let go of this good opportunity to take advantage of our bicycles."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of his experience in the supply and marketing cooperative, and then stared at Chen Dehui with a serious face and asked: "Uncle..."

"I have a question for you..."

"I am a worker now. Will it be difficult to transfer to a cadre position in the steel mill?"

Chen Dehui raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Why are you asking this question all of a sudden... Could it be that you want to become a cadre and work in the steel mill?" (End of this chapter)
