Siheyuan: Shazhu's Leisurely Life

Chapter 67 Silver Spear Wax Head
"You should do it as soon as possible. I'm always ready to cooperate with you." Qin Huairu reminded Xu Damao.

"There is a question. When we invite Sha Zhu to eat, where should we eat? We can't have him at his house. His wife Chen Miaoyun is not a fool either." Xu Damao said.

"I've already thought about it. It's impossible at Shazhu's house, and it's impossible at my house either. I'll just go to your house. There's no one there anyway, so it will be convenient for me to act then."

"My home?" Upon hearing this, Xu Damao was stunned: "No, what if something happens..."

Xu Damao still felt a little uneasy. Since he was a child, Sha Zhu had suppressed him with force, so he could yell a few words. If he really used such a method, Xu Damao was really afraid that Sha Zhu, the bastard, would punch him to death.

After all, the method Qin Huairu described was too cruel, even Xu Damao felt a little chilled after hearing it. And Sha Zhu had a reckless personality, if it happened in his house, wouldn't he be the first to suffer?

Seeing this, Qin Huairu sneered: "I think you are only a man in bed. You have done such a thing, are you still afraid that Sha Zhu will retaliate against you?"

"Qin Huairu, you make it sound so easy, but this is not your home anymore." Xu Damao felt a little embarrassed after hearing what was said.

"Xu Damao, should I say you are smart or stupid? If our plan really succeeds, do you think Sha Zhu dares to turn against us?"

"His wife is pregnant now, and he has a whole family to support. If the matter gets out of hand, he will lose his job or even be sent to the police station. Who do you think will suffer the most?"

When Qin Huairu said this, she was full of confidence. Obviously, she had already calculated these situations, and she would implement the plan only when there was no chance of failure. As for Xu Damao, when Qin Huairu said this, she denied the slightest fantasy she had just had. It was useless to marry such a stupid man. She could only use him now, and when she got the stupid Zhu, she had to stay away from him to avoid being infected by his IQ.

Xu Damao listened, his eyes lit up. In this case, he really had nothing to fear. But soon, Xu Damao thought of another question: "Qin Huairu, there is one more thing..."

"Is this the end? Why is it so hard for a grown man to do something?" Qin Huairu frowned. "Tell me, what are you afraid of?" However, considering the happiness of her family in the second half of their lives, Qin Huairu still managed to be patient.

Seeing this, Xu Damao's face looked a little unhappy: "You asked me to get Shazhu drunk, but I'm not sure about this. I can't drink much." After saying this, Xu Damao was a little embarrassed to look Qin Huairu in the eye.

After all, it takes some courage for a grown man to say no in front of a woman.

"You are really useless." Qin Huairu couldn't help but complain. Getting Sha Zhu drunk was the most important part of the plan. She had heard that Xu Damao was very good at dealing with people in the factory, and even some leaders were willing to take Xu Damao with them when they went out for drinks. Who would have thought that he was such a good person?

"Don't talk about this now. Think about what to do." Xu Damao spread his hands and simply looked at Qin Huairu.

Obviously, he is not a fool. If this problem cannot be solved, he will not go up and let Sha Zhu beat him.

Seeing Xu Damao like this, Qin Huairu's face couldn't help but look a little ugly. How could she not see that if she couldn't come up with an idea, she couldn't expect Xu Damao to help her with this matter.

This bastard.

When she thought of Xu Damao's performance just now, Qin Huairu was certain in her heart that this guy was taking advantage of this opportunity to eat her. It would be great if he could get rid of Sha Zhu at the same time, but if not, he would not be able to help much.

Qin Huairu took a deep breath, thought for a while, and then said coldly: "Since you are not sure, then call the three uncles in the yard. It just so happens that you have an excuse. In the future, you and Sha Zhu will make peace. The two of you will not make trouble in the yard anymore. Please ask the three uncles to come over and serve as witnesses."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao's eyes lit up again: "That's great. When the time comes, the three uncles will be here. Even if Sha Zhu is a big drinker, we won't be afraid that he won't be able to drink! When he's almost finished, let the three uncles go back first, and then the two of us will..."

"You still have some brains. You better prepare for this and don't mess it up."

After the two discussed the specific details, Qin Huairu hurried back.

Xu Damao kept watching Qin Huairu's back as she left, and then he withdrew his gaze, but a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

"You bitch, you really think you're a piece of cake. You're so vicious to come up with this trick to deal with Sha Zhu." As Sha Zhu's mortal enemy, Xu Damao felt that Qin Huairu's trick was a bit vicious.

After all, this was aimed at destroying the whole family. He and Sha Zhu had never gotten along, but Qin Huairu was determined to deal with Sha Zhu, even resorting to such means, so her purpose was naturally worth pondering.

Of course, Xu Damao's guess was almost right. He guessed that Qin Huairu was attracted by Sha Zhu's salary at the steel mill and his family conditions.

He didn't point these out. The reason why he was willing to join forces with Qin Huairu was, on the one hand, because of his personal grudge against Sha Zhu, and he would be happy to deal with Sha Zhu.

On the other hand, he has taken advantage of this opportunity to gain a lot of benefits during this period. Although she has given birth to three children, this little widow is very talented and really good. Xu Damao would be in vain if he doesn't play with her.

Of course, if they really succeed, then he can even...

……

……

The Jia family had been having a hard time lately. They didn't know when it started, but the uncle and his family, who had helped them every now and then, had not given them food for a long time.

Qin Huairu's meager monthly salary was always spent before the middle of the month.

"Mom, I'm so hungry."

"Mom, when can we have a meal of white flour steamed buns?"

In the evening, the two children of the Jia family, Banggeng and Xiaodang, kept muttering beside Qin Huairu.

"White flour buns? You are so bold. Sell your mother and see if you can get white flour buns in exchange?" Qin Huairu, who was listening, couldn't help but scolded: "Bang Geng, you too, as a brother, is this how you take care of your sister? Your sister is not sensible, are you not sensible too? You are going to elementary school soon. Do you know how difficult it is for your family to raise the tuition for you? No one is allowed to mention eating white flour buns in the future."

Banggeng is now eight years old and is old enough to go to primary school. This year, Qin Huairu contacted Hongxing Primary School and arranged for their boy Banggeng to go there. Although there are reductions in tuition and miscellaneous fees, the series of expenses at the beginning of the school year have made the already poor family even worse off.

After hearing this, Banggeng pouted his lips to the sky and his eyes were full of grievance.

"You're still feeling wronged. How can you be so inconsiderate of your mother? Was it easy for your mother to raise you? Now you just want to eat white flour. I don't know who spoiled you with this bad habit. We only have steamed corn bread at home. You can eat it if you like!"

Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng's appearance and for no reason she felt a little unbalanced and yelled at him.

"Mom, we don't eat white flour buns anymore. Let's eat wo wo buns. Xiaodang loves wo wo buns."

Xiaodang, who was a few years younger than her, saw Qin Huairu getting angry and spoke in a tearful voice.

"That's all you have got. If you have the guts, go and argue with that Yi Zhonghai!"

At the same time, Jia Zhang, who was lying in the house, heard the noise and hurried out. When she saw her beloved grandson Banggeng being scolded by Qin Huairu, she became furious.

"Mom, I'm educating my children, what are you saying?" Qin Huairu really needed to deal with these two children's bad habits. Life was already hard, and if they were still picky about food, how could they live in the future? Such bad habits must not be allowed to develop.

After hearing this, Jia Zhang sneered coldly: "Is this what you call educating a child? As I said before, if you have the ability, go and talk to Yi Zhonghai!"

When this was mentioned, Qin Huairu's face turned grim, but she could only grit her teeth and remain silent.

That's right, the Jia family has been having a harder and harder time recently, and the most important reason is Yi Zhonghai. Before, although life was difficult, they could get by with Yi Zhonghai occasionally helping them and sending them some rice, flour, grain and oil.

But for some reason, Yi Zhonghai suddenly stopped helping the Jia family. At first, Qin Huairu and the others didn't think much of it, but without the help from Yi Zhonghai's family, they would start to run out of food in the middle of the month.

Qin Huairu had gone to the eldest uncle and his family before, but when she asked for help, the eldest uncle said that there were too many people in need in the courtyard, and he couldn't be so obviously biased towards helping the Jia family.

Otherwise, if this family in trouble comes to him, and that family in trouble comes to him, can he help them all? If he fails to treat everyone equally, won't he be a nobody?

With Yi Zhonghai's legitimate reasons, Qin Huairu couldn't say anything more. However, seeing the family of Yiye and the family of Shazhu living together every day, eating together, etc., made them, who were also in the middle court, jealous every time. Qin Huairu didn't believe that all these things were paid by Shazhu's family? Yiye's family suddenly cut off their support, which might be related to this! In fact, Yi Zhonghai and his wife were not fools. Before, because of Jia Dongxu's death, they were still a little hesitant, but after contacting Zhuzi's family, they had already made up their minds. Cutting off the support from the Jia family was also in their plan.

After all, the reason Yi Zhonghai used to reject Qin Huairu was not made up. When they helped the Jia family before, they had to hide it in secret and not openly. Otherwise, it would be just like what he said, everyone is in trouble, you can help the Jia family, why can't you help other families?
Now, using this as an excuse, they directly cut off their support, which also put Yi Zhonghai and his wife at ease.

……

Days passed, and school was about to start. He Yuzhu picked a day and went to the canteen director Cai Youle to ask for a day off.

Upon learning that Zhuzi wanted to enroll his child in school, Cai Youle was very understanding and approved the leave application.

Early that morning, He Yuzhu brought Chen Miaozhi, who had just had breakfast, to the front yard.

"Uncle, are you done packing?"

He Yuzhu shouted twice at the door of the third uncle's house in the front yard, and soon Yan Bugui came out of the house. At this time, he changed into a gray outfit, put on a coat, and put on a pair of glasses, which really looked like a teacher.

"Zhu Zi, you got up early. Have you had breakfast?" Of course, it was just a casual greeting from Yan Bugui. Even if he hadn't had breakfast, he would never let Zhu Zi come to his house for dinner.

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded: "Well, Third Uncle, isn't school starting today? I'll take Miaozhi with me to report to you."

"Hey, wait a minute, I'll go tell the guys at home." Yan Bugui naturally remembered this matter. It was just a trivial matter, and considering Zhuzi's current reputation in the yard, he would naturally not deny his responsibility.

After going back to the house for a few minutes, Yan Bugui came out soon: "Okay, let's go, Zhuzi."

As he spoke, Yan Bugui looked at the bicycle pushed by He Yuzhu with shining eyes.

"Uncle, don't you ride a bike?" Yan Bugui had a bicycle at home, and seeing that he didn't move, He Yuzhu couldn't help but ask.

"Why ride a bike? What a waste. Just keep it at home and maintain it. It's not a big deal. It's just for going to school. I usually walk to school."

In this special period, Yan Bugui even took this into account.

After hearing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. It was really high. Only the third uncle could think of such a stingy angle.

He Yuzhu was thinking that those people in later generations who bought new cars but were reluctant to drive them and instead worshipped them like their ancestors were similar to the third uncle.

He Yuzhu has always been open-minded. In his opinion, if you feel reluctant to let your new car wear out on the road, it is better to carry the car away. In this way, you won’t have to repair the car for the rest of your life, right?

Of course, these were just He Yuzhu's own thoughts. He pushed the bicycle, Chen Miaozhi sat on the back seat, and they headed towards Hongxing Primary School.

At the same time, the Jia family of the Intermediate Court.

Qin Huairu got up in a hurry.

"Bang Geng, hurry up, today is the first day of school, don't be late on the first day!"

Qin Huairu's voice woke up Bang Geng, who was still lying in bed. Seeing that the boy was hesitating, Qin Huairu simply walked forward and pulled him out of bed.

"Mom, I want to sleep some more."

"It's already so late and you're still sleeping. What did I tell you yesterday? I told you not to run around outside. Hurry up and get up and wash your face. Mom will take you to school. I have to go to work soon."

Qin Huairu did not ask for this leave specifically, mainly because she was usually lazy in the workshop. If she asked for leave, she didn't know what the workshop leader would say to her, so she could only make this morning trip.

……

Red Star Elementary School.

When He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle and the third uncle arrived at the school gate, there were already people coming and going, and many parents and children came to register.

There was a security booth at the school gate, and the comrade inside knew Yan Bugui, so he just said hello and let him pass.

"Zhu Zi, I will take you to the principal's office in a while. You just need to give the principal the materials you brought and pay the tuition. I will not follow you then. The school has just started and there are still many things to do."

"Okay, Uncle San, when this is over, I'll treat you to a meal."

"Look at you, kid. You are so polite to the third uncle. The third uncle has been waiting for your meal." He had already received the benefit, and now he could get a free meal. You know, the food and drinks in Zhuzi's house are all good things. The third uncle was naturally envious, and the smile on his face became more intense.

Under the guidance of Yan Bugui, He Yuzhu met the principal of Red Star Primary School.

The principal's name is Wei Guoqing, a middle-aged man with a square face, who looks to be in his forties. He wears glasses and looks very righteous.

After meeting the principal, He Yuzhu also explained his purpose.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, Teacher Yan has told me about your situation. How about this, I take a look at the level of the children first?"

He Yuzhu was not surprised by this. Yan Bugui had also reminded him that if Chen Miaozhi wanted to start studying from the fourth grade, he must have tested her foundation. Compared with later generations, this was already quite lenient.

"Principal Wei, please ask whatever you want."

Wei Guoqing nodded and asked some questions about some knowledge points that need to be mastered in elementary school. Of course, it is not too difficult and is within the third grade textbook. Chen Miaozhi, who had already studied in advance, answered fluently.

After a test, Wei Guoqing nodded: "Well, not bad, this foundation can allow her to start from the fourth grade. Comrade He Yuzhu, take the information and go outside to handle the formalities."

As Wei Guoqing spoke, he wrote a note to He Yuzhu.

"Thank you, Principal Wei." He Yuzhu also nodded politely to Wei Guoqing, and then took Chen Miaozhi to handle the formalities.

The whole process took most of the morning. Finally, Chen Miaozhi successfully completed the admission ceremony at Hongxing Primary School and was assigned to Class 2, Grade 4, officially becoming a primary school student in Beijing.

After doing all this, He Yuzhu asked Chen Miaozhi to go to the class to get familiar with her classmates and teachers, and to see if the little girl could adapt to the first day of school.

The result was very good. Although Chen Miaozhi was a little hesitant to speak at the beginning, as her peers took the initiative to speak, she gradually integrated into the class.

Because it was the first day of school, there were no classes in the school. After distributing the textbooks for the semester, the students were allowed to go home.

He Yuzhu pushed the bicycle and placed the book on the front frame. During this time, several children came over and greeted Chen Miaozhi who was sitting on the back seat of the bicycle.

Obviously, these are the classmates Chen Miaozhi met in class today.

Although it is a primary school in the inner city, there are only a few bicycles available. Therefore, when many parents of classmates looked at us, there was some hesitation in their eyes.

In the evening, He Yuzhu brought Chen Miaozhi back to the yard. When they arrived at the door, they saw a figure lurking there.

He Yuzhu frowned slightly, and only after he walked in did he see the man clearly: "Xu Damao, what are you hanging around at the door for?"
