Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 151 Jia Zhang's Cry
"Is it that serious?"

Wang Jianjun said in disbelief.

"Haha, that's because I haven't cracked down on you hard yet. You'll see after a while. If I can't kill them, I'll lose."

Li Weidong said.

Wang Jianjun and his wife fell silent for a long time before they said, "By the way, Weidong, what brings you here this time?"

Li Weidong said, "I'm going to Tianjin in a few days. I came here to take a look and I have a favor to ask Sister Liang."

"Oh, are you looking for Xiao Liang? He is at home. You go first, and we will have lunch together later." Jianjun's wife said.

"Okay, then I'll go, Brother Jianjun, sister-in-law." Li Weidong said.

"Go ahead!" Wang Jianjun waved his hand.

Li Weidong didn't continue chatting with them and walked directly to the backyard.

As soon as I entered the backyard, I saw Liang Ladi standing at the door, looking at me with a smile.

"Dongzi, you're here! Come in quickly."

Liang Ladi said.

"Hey, good!"

Li Weidong agreed and walked straight into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, Liang Ladi closed the door, then turned around and hugged Li Weidong.

"You have no conscience. You haven't come to see me for such a long time. I miss you so much!" Liang Ladi said resentfully.

"Here I am! I've been a bit busy with work lately, there's nothing I can do about it," said Li Weidong.

"Hmph! Is he busy with work or doing something else? Who knows?" Liang Ladi said sourly.

"I'm really busy with work. There's a very important project recently that requires me to follow up personally." Li Weidong said defensively.

"Being busy with work is not an excuse for you not to come! Can't you squeeze out a little time?" Liang Ladi said dissatisfiedly.

"Aren't I here already? Sister Yang, I'm going to Tianjin in a while and may have to stay there for a while." Li Weidong said to Liang Ladi.

"Why are you going to Tianjin? You are going to stay there for a while. Don't you want to leave your wife and children?" Liang Ladi said unhappily.

"There's a very important project that I need to lead. When I come back, I'll take you to meet Xiaolin and the others."

"Okay, I'll do as you say. Let's get down to business now!"

……

At noon, Li Weidong had lunch with Wang Jianjun and others at He Yuzhu's place, and then went to the courtyard house No. 95 to take a look at his old house.

They soon arrived at Courtyard 4 of No. 95. As soon as they entered the front yard, they saw Third Uncle Yan Fugui standing at his doorstep, tending to his flowers and plants. "Third Uncle, are you doing well lately?" Li Weidong said with a smile.

"Hey, Weidong is here. I'm doing fine lately. But...

Oh! No more. By the way, Weidong, could you help find a job for Jiecheng? Preferably one with housing.

You know what happened in our courtyard. Everyone who could move out has already done so, and the rest are stuck. I wanted to introduce Jian Jian to someone, but once they found out they were from our courtyard, they wouldn't even come.

Don't worry, after the matter is completed, the Third Master will not treat you unfairly."

The third uncle Yan Fugui said.

"Oh, Third Uncle, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm going to be transferred to Tianjin the day after tomorrow, so I really can't help you."

Li Weidong said. He thought to himself: You are indeed Yan Fugui. This is how you ask for help. You have to pick a job for me, and you have to bring in someone to share the housing. And you have to treat me well after the job is done. If I believe you, I am a fool.

"Uncle San, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to go back to the backyard to check on my house and pack some things." After saying that, Li Weidong walked towards the backyard.

When Li Weidong reached the middle courtyard, he saw Jia Zhang sitting at the door, sewing shoe soles, while Bang Geng was playing in the yard. Xiao Dang and Huai Hua were watching from a distance. They wanted to get closer to Bang Geng and play with him, but they were scolded by Bang Geng and Jia Zhang, who called them bastards.

Li Weidong's entry also attracted the attention of Jia Zhang and Bang Geng.

When Jia Zhang saw Li Weidong, a complex expression flashed across his eyes: resentment, jealousy, and even a hint of fear. Resentment was due to Li Weidong having sent Jia Dongxu and himself to prison. Jealousy was due to Li Weidong's improved life. Although he didn't know where Li Weidong worked or lived now, judging by his expression, he was definitely living better than before. Fear was simply due to Li Weidong's previous status as a high-ranking official at the steel mill, and his current status was even more extraordinary.

Then Jia Zhang saw Bang Geng, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She stood up and walked to Li Weidong.

Li Weidong didn't know what Jia Zhang was trying to do, so he just watched quietly.

Jia Zhang walked up to Li Weidong, knelt down and kowtowed without saying a word. Her head hit the hard ground with a bang, and soon a lot of blood flowed out of her head.

Li Weidong quickly helped Jia Zhang up and said in a bad tone:
"Jia Zhang, I haven't offended you, have I? What are you doing?"

People who don't know would think Li Weidong is bullying, making an old lady kneel down and kowtow.

"Li Weidong, I know it was our family's fault in the past. We did not do the right thing. I am sorry for your family.

Could you please show me a clear way out for the sake of our being from the same courtyard? I am old, and Banggeng can't count on me in the future. I still have some money from Yi Zhonghai's compensation, and I want to use it to buy a way for Banggeng to survive in the future, so that our Jia family won't be cut off. Then I can be considered worthy of Old Jia!
Weidong, please have some mercy on us mother and me! Woo woo!
That slut Qin Huairu is such a jerk! Our Jia family's reputation has been ruined! Our Bang Geng won't be able to find a wife in the future. If this continues, our Jia family will be wiped out.

Yi Zhonghai, this old, extinct family, is not a good person either. He cheated on his apprentice and stole his wife. He deserves to be extinct.

And I suspect that Dongxu's death was caused by these two useless bastards.

Weidong, I beg you to help my mother and me. I've been living in fear all day long in this yard, afraid that these two will kill me too, and then harm our family!

“Please, Weidong! I kowtow to you!” Jia Zhang cried with tears streaming down her face.

At this time, many people had gathered around, including Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu. Jia Zhang had also seen them both just now, but she still said it because she knew that this was her only chance. If Li Weidong didn't help, she would definitely not be able to defeat Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu in this courtyard, and in the end they would get what they wanted. It would be better to just give up. Success or failure would depend on this one chance.

Li Weidong couldn't help but sigh when he saw Jia Zhang like this. Back then, Jia Zhang was someone who would pay back even if she was wronged. Who would have thought that she would kneel down and kowtow to others like this now?
Li Weidong thought about it and felt...
