The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Yi Zhonghai was still in a daze.

Upon hearing the deaf old lady ask him, he quickly replied, "Ah, yes, the factory investigated."

The incident involving Dongxu was indeed an accident.

The factory leaders will also come tomorrow to pay their respects and visit the family.

They will also receive a pension.

They will also arrange for Qin Huairu to take over her job.

Yang Dalin knew that Yi Zhonghai hadn't told the whole story.

The factory not only provides compensation and arranges for Qin Huairu to take over the job, but it should also provide subsidies for the three children left behind by Jia Dongxu.

This money will continue to support the three children until they reach adulthood.

Yang Dalin is disgusting. Qin Huairu will try to gain sympathy later.

He said directly, "There's more than that, isn't there? Is there anything else you haven't mentioned, Uncle Yi?"

Does the factory not provide any subsidies for Dongxu's three children?

"Won't Dongxu's wife take over as an apprentice?"

Yi Zhonghai seemed to have just remembered and said, "Ah, right, Huai Ru has taken over. She'll be counted as a first-level worker and inherit her seniority."

"I'll receive a monthly salary of 27.5 yuan. Banggeng, Xiaodang, and the unborn child will all receive subsidies until they reach adulthood."

This is a lot of money; everyone knows that the minimum compensation for survivors is several hundred.

Even if each child receives a monthly subsidy of five yuan, combined with Qin Huairu's salary of 27.5 yuan, the total would be 42.5 yuan.

Without Jia Dongxu, the adult male who consumes the most food.

The Jia family is definitely not living a bad life.

The deaf old lady nodded after hearing this: "Good, the new government is better. This money should be enough for the Jia family."

If your family encounters any difficulties in the future, we'll all help out as needed.

There's no way we can say we can't go on.

It's not the old society anymore.

You probably wouldn't have survived in the old society.

These conditions can't possibly be unbearable, can they?

Even though the Zhao family has lost two strong laborers, they still manage to raise two children.

Nobody said they were crying and screaming that they couldn't make ends meet like your family.

Alright, that's settled.

Please help send this to Dongxu tomorrow.

Everyone who has time should come tomorrow.

"Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu, do you two have anything else to say?"

Jia Zhangshi was clearly intimidated by the deaf old lady.

She quickly waved her hand and said, "Grandma, I'm fine."

Qin Huairu tried to struggle, but Jia Zhangshi pulled her back.

Qin Huairu lowered her head and said, "Grandma, I'm fine now."

"It's alright, everyone stop crowding around, so people from other courtyards won't laugh at us."

It's getting late. Those who should go home should go home, and those who should stay should help out.

"Zhonghai, help me up and take me home."

Seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, everyone went home.

Yi Zhonghai and Wang Xiumei helped the deaf old lady home.

Yang Dalin and Ma San also turned around and went back with Aunt Qi.

I can come and help out tomorrow.

I'm not going to care tonight.

Yang Dalin noticed that Qin Huairu still looked at him with resentment.

That woman is no good person at all.

They're trying to pin the blame on me.

It seems she'll have to be dealt with again if she gets the chance to cause trouble.

Some people won't behave unless you discipline them.

Yi Zhonghai and Wang Xiumei helped the deaf old lady back to the backyard.

Upon entering the deaf old lady's house.

The deaf old lady asked Yi Zhonghai and his wife to sit down.

She said, "Zhonghai, were you almost persuaded by Qin Huairu tonight to find a sucker for her family to help them with their scheme?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded silently.

"You're confused, Zhonghai."

I told you before that although Jia Dongxu is a good kid, he is too honest and has a heavy burden.

The wife I married is too cunning.

Even if nothing happens to him, it's doubtful he'll be able to support you in your old age.

Because by the time you get old, his children will have grown up.

If he lives, he might not even have a few more children.

He's not very capable and won't earn much money. He won't even be able to take care of himself, let alone you. You might even have to use your savings to help him out from time to time.

His wife is too cunning; I still value Zhuzi more because he's honest and kind.

I've also learned a lot about cooking.

I've met his wife too; she's kind-hearted and much better than Qin Huairu.

Even if he has several children in the future, his family will never lack housing or food.

Thirdly, he also possessed great strength, and no one dared to bully him.

Look at Dalin, that kid is so smart. When they came, he immediately won over Zhuzi and Xu Damao.

He has maintained good relationships with most of the younger generation.

Actually, besides Zhu Zi, I think Da Lin Zi is the best candidate to take care of you in your old age.

But you can't control this kid.

I'm speaking up today for your sake, so you won't make a mistake and anger him.

That kid is something else.

If you really push him too far, he probably won't even know how he died!

Wang Xiumei whispered in fear, "Oh, old lady, are you saying that Da Linzi would dare to kill people so easily?"

The deaf old woman tapped her cane: "Don't talk nonsense, let me finish."

After Director Wang from the neighborhood office came to our compound to give him the award, I asked around among my acquaintances.

It is said that this child has made many contributions.

They have arrested many spies and bad guys.

I saw the look in his eyes today, and I'm not mistaken, there was a murderous glint in that kid's eyes.

Since he's alright and still managed to bring back quite a few things, he must have killed a lot of bad guys and made some meritorious contributions.

These kinds of people are used to killing, and sometimes they don't care about human lives.

That's why I stepped in and helped you, Zhonghai.

Don't try to take advantage of him in the future; it's best to befriend him.

Even if you don't want to befriend him, don't mess with him.

Otherwise, with your little scheme today, trying to find him to be a sucker for your apprentice's wife.

You'll be waiting for his revenge later.

Yi Zhonghai was clearly startled, but out of consideration for his reputation, he didn't say anything.

Wang Xiumei nodded repeatedly and said, "Grandma, we'll listen to you. We've never offended him, and we've even borrowed money from him."

My relationship with him is alright.

The deaf old lady looked at Yi Zhonghai again, and Yi Zhonghai, feeling her gaze, bowed his head and said, "I will listen to you, old lady."

"Listen to me, you won't go wrong. When I asked you to tell me about the factory's arrangements, do you remember him interrupting and asking if the factory was providing subsidies for the children?"

That means he knows the factory's rules and regulations. He asked you to explain the specific arrangements in the factory. Even though the Jia family has lost one person, their income is still quite good and more than enough to live on.

It's good that you said it this way, so you won't have to keep subsidizing her family.

The people in the courtyard don't need to pity their family too much.

If you take good care of the pillars and the others, you can make them take care of you in your old age.

Stay away from your apprentice's house from now on.

He did you a favor, saving you a lot of trouble later.

Yi Zhonghai pondered for a moment and then said, "Yes, I understand, ma'am."

"Okay, that's good. Treat people sincerely from now on, and be genuinely kind to Zhu Zi."

Don't try anything fancy, or you might end up with nothing.

"Why, old lady?"

What do you mean by that?

"You forgot, Zhu Zi is getting along well with him now. Zhu Zi might not be able to see through your intentions. Da Lin Zi is no simple kid. He probably already knows you inside and out."

Besides, most people in the courtyard can see through your idea.

Do you think everyone's a fool?
