Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

"Aunt Zhang, is there anything else I can help you with?" Seeing that Aunt Zhang, who had just divorced, had been standing in front of him and had not left, the clerk was afraid that she would be upset and get into trouble, so he asked quickly.

"Comrade..." Aunt Zhang answered after a moment's hesitation.

"I do have something I want to trouble you with?"

"I remember there's an empty room in the backyard of the courtyard, about 20 square meters. I wonder if the street can rent it to me..."

"I am a resident of the old city. I am used to living in a courtyard house. All the people I know live in courtyard houses. If I can stay here, I will stay here..."

The clerk felt very sympathetic towards Aunt Zhang's plight, and after flipping through the documents on the table, he replied, "Aunt Zhang..."

"You do have an amp in the backyard of your house, and the property is on the street..."

“Although it’s habitable, it’s quite damp.”

“I had been wanting to rent out the street before, but because it was too small, it couldn’t accommodate a family.”

"Plus the environment is humid, so it has never been rented out..."

"If you want to rent it, the street can be rented to you..."

"Considering that you are alone in the city and have no income, the street can charge a little less rent!"

"How about fifty cents a month... six dollars a year."

"If I rent it to someone else, I can get at least one dollar a month."

Aunt Zhang's face immediately lit up with joy.

He didn't expect that the rental of the headphone amplifier in the backyard was so cheap. It was only fifty cents less a month, and even if he went to the pigeon market, he could exchange it for two kilograms of flour.

If it is two-pound flour, five or six pounds will be no problem.

If it is the cheapest corn flour, you can easily exchange ten kilograms, which is enough for you to eat for several days.

Immediately replied: "Thank you comrade..."

"I'll rent the headphone amp in the backyard now..."

"I'll pay ten years' rent first, a total of sixty dollars..."

Seeing this scene, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang both showed surprised expressions on their faces. They didn't expect that Aunt Zhang chose to live in the courtyard house even after divorcing Yi Zhonghai.

But this matter has nothing to do with them anymore. They can live wherever they want.

…………

In the central courtyard of the quadrangle, Aunt Zhang was seen moving things out of Yi Zhonghai's house. Yi Zhonghai stood by and did not stop her. Anyone with a little bit of common sense would know that Yi Zhonghai and Aunt Zhang were really divorced.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu standing together, everyone had a strange expression on their face.

I didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu really got married.

There is a twenty-year age difference between them, so they are of different generations. How dare they get together? Aren't they afraid that rumors will drown them both?

"What are you looking at?" Jia Zhang saw the mockery in the eyes of the neighbors around her. He was a shameless person who only cared about money, so she just yelled at the people around her.

"Have you never seen anyone else get married?"

"My Huairu and Yi Zhonghai got married today?"

"If anyone chews on my Huairu again, I will tear his mouth to pieces..."

"It's true that birds of a feather flock together..." He Yuzhu, who was standing next to Liang Lati, suddenly sighed.

"Zhu Zi, what did you say?" Liang Lati didn't hear it very clearly, so he turned his head and looked at He Yuzhu and asked.

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and replied: "This is what Director Wang said to me..."

"Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi, Yi Zhonghai and others are birds of a feather. They are not good people..."

"Today I finally saw it..." "In order to get the money from Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu lost all her dignity and used a trick to force Yi Zhonghai to divorce Aunt Zhang and marry him..."

"This old guy Yi Zhonghai is not a good person either..."

"Looking at Qin Huairu's youth, his wife, who had slept with him for decades, just said no and he didn't want to..."

"But considering Yi Zhonghai's shrewdness, even if Qin Huairu marries him as his wife, I don't think it will be easy for her to get a penny from him..."

"Not surprisingly……"

"Qin Huairu's plan was to ask Yi Zhonghai for a legitimate wife status, but she couldn't plan for anything else."

"But it's good that Aunt Zhang divorced that old guy Yi Zhonghai."

"Although she is not a good person, at least she has never actively harmed anyone."

"Before, when Yu Shui and I had nothing to eat, he felt sorry for us and often secretly brought us food without telling Yi Zhonghai."

"Based on this point, I, He Yuzhu, should still lend a hand."

After that, he asked Liang Lati, "Is it okay for you to go and help Aunt Zhang?"

He Yuzhu and Liang Lati are now in a relationship. They started eating together more than a month ago and all they have left is to get their marriage certificate.

In addition, Wangdong often reminded him that Liang Lati was a very rational and reasonable person, so he should ask Liang Lati for his opinion when encountering problems.

Over time, Liang Lati's opinions became the main basis for all matters big and small in the family.

He Yuzhu is also a person who doesn't like to think about things, and he just enjoys having free time.

Liang Lati rolled his eyes at He Yuzhu in anger: "Am I such a stingy person?"

"Call Ermao and Sanmao as well, and ask Aunt Zhang if she has a place to stay tonight..."

"If you really don't have any, you can come to my house tonight and stay overnight. Let Da Mao squeeze in with you at night..."

He Yuzhu smiled and continued: "I know my wife is the most open-minded and generous..."

Although Liang Lati had already established a relationship with He Yuzhu, she blushed with shame when He Yuzhu called her his wife in front of everyone, no matter how generous she usually was in the yard.

He quickly scolded, "Why are you yelling? We haven't even gotten married yet, don't teach the child bad habits!"

He Yuzhu smiled and continued, "It's going to happen sooner or later anyway, so just give a few shouts in advance."

After saying this, without waiting for Liang Lati to respond, he called Ermao and Sanmao and walked towards Aunt Zhang.

"Aunt Zhang... do you need help?"

"Pillar……"

Seeing He Yuzhu coming to help her first, Aunt Zhang would be lying if she said she wasn't touched. Seeing He Yuzhu choking up, it took her a long time to utter a word...

"It was Aunt Zhang who let you down before..."

He Yuzhu shook his head happily: "It's all over..."

"Let's not talk about those unhappy things. If you hadn't often brought food to me and Yu Shui when we were little, we might have starved to death..."

"Since we're divorced, just live a good life from now on. If you need any help, just tell me..."

"Thank you, Zhuzi!" Aunt Zhang didn't expect that He Yuzhu still remembered how kind she was to them when they were little, so she quickly replied.

"Then please help me move the things to the backyard..."

"I rented a backyard amp on the street and will live there from now on..."

"I'll find someone to separate the headphone amp into two rooms and then I'll go to the welfare home to adopt a child. I'll raise him well and he'll take care of me until the end of my life..." (End of this chapter)
