Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Jia Zhang knew her daughter-in-law too well.

Even if Qin Huairu didn't say anything, just by looking at her eyes, Jia Zhang knew what she was up to.

He shook his head like a drum and retorted without hesitation: "Qin Huairu..."

"Don't even think about my retirement money..."

"I paid two hundred dollars to buy Kuihua a job, and another two hundred dollars to keep Banggeng's job. You also took away the remaining pension of Dongxu."

"I don't even have a hundred dollars left for my retirement, and you still want me to pay for it. Do you have any conscience?"

Although Qin Huairu didn't know how much money Jia Zhang had hidden in her hands, it was definitely more than the few dozen dollars that Jia Zhang mentioned.

Not to mention anything else, the total amount of money that Kuihua gave to Jia Zhang during this period was about forty or fifty yuan, not to mention the pension money she had secretly saved before.

Before she divorced He Yuzhu, her family gave her at least five yuan in pension every month. Before she married He Yuzhu, she worked alone in a steel mill to support her family, and she still had to give him three yuan in pension every month.

Adding the money Jia Zhang earned from pasting matchboxes and making shoe soles in recent years, even without counting the pension from the steel mill, Jia Zhang has saved up about 600 to 700 yuan for her retirement.

In addition, Jia Zhangshi didn't spend much money on a daily basis, and basically all her food and clothing were taken care of at home. Qin Huairu could conclude that Jia Zhangshi still had at least 300 yuan in pension money in her hands.

So when faced with Jia Zhang's rejection, Qin Huairu was not in a hurry at all.

Instead, he answered calmly: "Mom..."

"Since you have no money...then we don't want this house of the Jia family."

"Compared to the house, the future of Bangteng is more important."

"If he doesn't leave the steel mill and look for a job outside, Banggeng will probably never find a wife in his lifetime, and the Jia family will be extinct by then."

After saying that, he turned his attention to Bang Geng and said seriously: "Son..."

"Since your grandmother is unwilling to pay, then we don't want this house in the middle courtyard."

"Tomorrow you will go to the steel mill and resign, and let the steel mill take back this house..."

Seeing Qin Huairu's determined face, Jia Zhang began to get anxious and asked quickly: "Huairu..."

"The steel mill has taken my house away. Where am I going to live?"

"It's easy for Xiaodang and Kuihua. They both found jobs outside and can rent a house. It's only a few dollars a month anyway. They can definitely afford it."

"As for Mom..."

"I remember that the mud house in our rural hometown has not collapsed yet, so we can still live there for the time being..."

"We are in a very difficult situation now. We can't afford to rent a house. We can only ask Mom to move back to the countryside temporarily..."

"Bang Geng will go to the steel mill tomorrow and resign and I will send you back to your hometown..."

"Don't worry, we won't ignore you..."

"When Bang Geng finds a job outside and our family's financial situation improves, we will bring you back home."

"I won't go back to the countryside... The mud house in my hometown is about to collapse. If I move in now, I don't know when I will be buried inside. I won't leave..." Jia Zhang shouted anxiously.

The houses in the city are spacious and don't leak when it rains.

The mud houses in the countryside are not only about to collapse, but they are also extremely humid inside, and even the window gaps are not sealed properly. When it rains, it rains heavily outside and lightly inside, making it impossible to live in them.

If Banggeng really sent her back to her hometown to live in a mud house, it would be tantamount to taking half of her life. Jia Zhang was unwilling to go back no matter what.

Qin Huairu didn't show any good face to Jia Zhangshi at all, frowned and said: "Mom..."

"This is the condition of my family. You have to go back even if you don't want to..." "I believe Banggeng is willing to send you back to your hometown in the countryside."

Bang Geng is no longer the newbie he was a few years ago. He can tell at a glance that Qin Huairu is threatening Jia Zhangshi to take out money to buy a house.

Banggeng has been a very selfish person since he was young.

If this house in the central courtyard is really taken away by the steel mill, if you want to buy it back in the future, it will not be something that can be solved with just six or seven hundred yuan.

You might not be able to buy it back even if you spend thousands of dollars.

If I could get grandma Jia Zhang to pay today, I could buy the east wing in the central courtyard.

In the future, after Jia Zhang's death, when his mother Qin Huairu also dies, this east wing will be his.

In order to inherit more property, Banggeng refused to see the steel rolling mill take away the east wing of the central courtyard.

Then Qin Huairu replied: "Grandma..."

"Sending you back to your rural hometown is only temporary."

"When your grandson becomes rich in the future, I will definitely take you back to Sijiu City to live a good life."

"I will go to the steel mill to resign early tomorrow morning and will be home in two hours at most."

"Mom, please help grandma pack her things. I'll borrow a bicycle from a friend and try to send grandma back to her hometown in the countryside this afternoon."

Seeing that Banggeng also wanted to send her back to the countryside and even set a time, Jia Zhang became even more anxious.

Banggeng is the only grandson of the Jia family and the apple of Jia Zhang's eye. Now even Banggeng agrees to send him back to his rural hometown, then Jia Zhang has completely lost hope of turning the situation around.

At this moment, she had to make a difficult choice.

Either he had to use money to buy the east wing of the central courtyard from the steel mill, or he would be sent back to his hometown by his daughter-in-law and grandson.

The second option was rejected as soon as it came into my mind.

Winter is coming soon and it may snow in the city at any time.

If I were sent back to my hometown in the countryside, and if the mud house there was crushed by heavy snow one day and I was buried inside, there would probably be no one to collect my body.

The more she thought about Jia Zhang, the more scared she became.

After thinking for a minute, his whole face was unconsciously covered with a painful expression. Then he took a deep breath, stared at Qin Huairu with hatred and said: "I can only take out 200 yuan to buy a house. If I spend more, I will have nothing..."

Qin Huairu's face lit up with joy. She didn't expect that she could extort two hundred yuan from Jia Zhang with just a little pressure.

In this way, he would have enough money to buy the east wing from the steel mill.

Then he turned his attention to Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi..."

"I'm going to give you 200 yuan to open up connections, and 600 yuan to buy a house. I don't know if it's enough..."

After a quick thought, Yi Zhonghai guessed that the money should be the private savings that Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi should be able to take out.

I'm in a very happy mood.

As long as he could squeeze out all their private money by buying houses this time, he would become the richest person in the Jia family.

If they want themselves to pay for improving their lives and enrich their private money, they must take good care of themselves, otherwise they can't take a penny more from them.

In the future, my status in the Jia family will definitely rise sharply because of this, and my life will be much better than it is now.

But under Qin Huairu's gaze, Yi Zhonghai did not show his inner joy, but instead pretended to be embarrassed. (End of this chapter)
