Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

For Xiao Shan, he didn't care whether the things Liu Guangtian offered were expensive or not; what he cared about was Liu Guangtian's sincerity.

At least I haven't helped a single ungrateful person all these years!

After Liu Guangtian helped Xiao Shan prepare the meal, the two sat down to eat and drink.

After a few rounds of drinks and several dishes, Liu Guangtian asked with some curiosity, "Xiaoshan, I heard you've started processing level eight workpieces now?"

"Okay, let's practice first to prepare for next year's assessment!" Xiao Shan nodded.

Hearing Xiao Shan say that, Liu Guangtian was incredibly envious: "Xiao Shan, I really envy you. I only get a fixed salary!"

"You can't say that. Getting a fixed salary is much better than doing odd jobs before!" Xiao Shan said slowly, putting a piece of braised food into his mouth.

Liu Guangtian nodded: "That's not wrong! Speaking of which, I owe it all to you back then, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get my dad to spend money to buy me a permanent position!"

"If I didn't have this permanent position, I would be at a huge loss, and I wouldn't be able to find a partner."

Xiao Shan looked at Liu Guangtian with some surprise: "Guangtian, you've found a girlfriend?"

Liu Guangtian grinned smugly. "Hmm, you think everyone's as well-off as you, not in a hurry at all? Even if you're thirty, there are plenty of eighteen-year-old girls wanting to marry you."

“I’m different. Once I’m past this age, the only men I can find for my first marriage are from the countryside.”

What Liu Guangtian said was true.

He's just a thermos factory worker with a fixed salary of twenty-four yuan. When he turns thirty, what normal city girl would want to date him?

Xiao Shan picked up his wine glass and took a sip: "Let me know when you get married, and I'll prepare some wild game for you so you can have a more impressive wedding!"

"I don't even know if we'll have a banquet yet!" Liu Guangtian said helplessly. "You know, my older brother basically emptied our savings when he got married in Shicheng! Although my dad's attitude towards me has changed over the years, he still loves my older brother the most."

"Now that our family's savings have been emptied, my dad might not be willing to give me money for the wedding banquet!"

Liu Guangtian picked up his wine glass and downed it in one gulp: "By the way, Xiaoshan, I want to move out after I get married, there's simply not enough room at home. I'm thinking of buying a house elsewhere, you'll have to lend me some money then!"

"Don't worry, I will pay you back every month, I will never default on the debt."

Xiao Shan waved his hand: "That's easy to do. Just let me know when you're buying a house!"

Liu Guangtian poured himself another glass of wine, raised it to Xiao Shan, and said, "Everything is in this wine, this is a toast to you, buddy! I was originally planning to rent a place, but after thinking about it, I feel more at ease buying a house!"

Nowadays, people rent apartments not from private individuals, but from local street offices.

The same applies to buying a house.

As long as the conditions are met, you can rent or buy a house from the neighborhood office.

Liu Guangtian's marriage is equivalent to establishing a separate household, which meets the conditions for buying or renting a house.

Just as Xiao Shan and Liu Guangtian were drinking and chatting, a pig-like scream suddenly came from the courtyard.

"Oh no, I'm going to die! Qin Huairu, you heartless wicked woman, are you trying to kill me with pain? Old Jia, Dongxu, please come back and check on me!"

Liu Guangtian put down his wine glass, frowned, and said, "Why is Aunt Jia causing trouble again? Even with a broken leg, she can't stay still!"

Xiao Shan said with a smile, "Director Wang said that she would only take painkillers for a month, and then she would have to stop taking them completely!"

"It must be that Qin Huairu cut off her painkillers, that's why she's making such a fuss!"

"Shall we go take a look?" Liu Guangtian asked Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan nodded and downed the wine in his glass in one gulp: "Let's go take a look!"

When the two arrived at the Intermediate People's Court, they found that the entrance to the Jia family's house was already crowded with people, including three elderly men.

As Xiao Shan and Liu Guangtian walked over, they heard some onlookers offer their suggestions: "If you ask me, we should just gag Jia Zhangshi and put her in the cellar!"

Upon hearing this suggestion, the three old men's expressions changed.

Last time, the plan was to put Jia Zhangshi in the cellar, but he broke his leg halfway there.

If they let her go again this time, and Jia Zhangshi continues to cause trouble and breaks her other leg, then the three of them might as well give up their positions and step down.

Qin Huairu's face was swollen on one side, clearly because she had been slapped by Jia Zhangshi.

None of the three children came out; they all hid inside the house.

At this moment, Xu Damao spoke up: "I don't think putting it in the cellar is a good idea! What if he breaks his leg again halfway through? Will the three of you still be willing to do it?"

"In my opinion, if anyone has a small house, they should just tie Aunt Jia up, gag her, and throw her in there for the night."

"If not, then we'll have to send Aunt Jia to the neighborhood committee!"

Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, the onlookers fell silent.

No one wanted to leave Jia Zhangshi in their own little house.

"This matter still depends on the three of you gentlemen!"

"That's right, we still have things stored in our little house!"

"Our little house needs to be occupied every day, we really can't give it up!"

……

Hearing the onlookers trying to distance themselves from the situation, Yan Bugui couldn't hold back any longer.

After all, you can let Yan Bugui take advantage of others.

But if someone takes advantage of him, it's just as painful as if he were killed!

Yan Bugui said impatiently, "We do have a small house, but unfortunately Jie Cheng is married now, and he lives there. There's really nothing we can do."

Liu Haizhong followed up: "Everyone knows our family situation. We have three children. Although the eldest doesn't live at home now, the second and third are still here. There's no spare space for my sister-in-law to make do!"

Now everyone's attention turned to Yi Zhonghai.

He had no children, so the small storage hut was perfect for Jia Zhangshi to live in.

Although Yi Zhonghai was extremely unwilling, he still reluctantly said, "Then stay in my little house! Sister-in-law, we're doing this for your own good. You have to set a good example for the children."

Several young men immediately grabbed ropes and rushed towards Jia Zhangshi.

Last time, Madam Jia cursed everyone in the courtyard, so naturally no one spoke up for her now.

When Jia Zhangshi was tied up, she had only cursed twice when Yi Zhonghai gagged her with a rag.

After locking Jia Zhangshi in Yi Zhonghai's small house, things quieted down in the courtyard.

That night, Yi Zhonghai and his wife were sleeping in their room when they suddenly heard whimpering sounds and the sound of Jia Zhangshi banging her head against the wall from next door.

An older woman said to Yi Zhonghai with some concern, "Old Yi, why don't you go to the hut and check on Jia Zhangshi, making sure nothing has happened to her."

"Yes, we should take a look."

As soon as Yi Zhonghai stepped into the small house, a stench almost made him turn away.

Yi Zhonghai immediately understood: Jia Zhangshi had soiled her pants.

Smelling the stench emanating from Jia Zhangshi, Yi Zhonghai felt both disgusted and saddened.

It's as if I can see what I'll look like when I'm old and can't move!

With a sigh, Yi Zhonghai said to Jia Zhangshi, "Sister-in-law, wait here, I'll go and call someone to clean it up for you right away!"

After leaving the small house, Yi Zhonghai quickly woke up an older woman and then called Qin Huairu from the Jia family.

It took the two of them a lot of effort to clean up Jia Zhangshi.

The next morning, everyone lined up to wash up by the pool in the central courtyard.

Seeing Qin Huairu with dark circles under her eyes and the elderly couple, someone asked curiously, "Uncle, Aunt, Qin Huairu, what happened to you? Didn't you sleep well?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed and looked at everyone, saying, "Last night, my sister-in-law had an upset stomach, and your aunt, Huairu, and I were busy taking care of her for half the night."

Now everyone fell silent, fearing that they would have to move Jia Zhangshi to their small house.

They had no time to care whether Jia Zhangshi had an upset stomach in the middle of the night.

For the next two days, the courtyard was quiet, but Mr. and Mrs. Yi Zhonghai suffered.

Every night, Jia Zhangshi would cause trouble.

They either poop or pee, and if all else fails, they bang their heads against the wall—they do whatever it takes.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai, who was yawning incessantly, an older woman said worriedly, "Old Yi, this can't go on! Jia Zhangshi can sleep during the day, but you still have to go to work! If something happens, it will be terrible!"

"Why don't we just send Jia Zhangshi to the neighborhood office? It's not good for the two of us to keep going like this!"

Hearing what the older woman said, Yi Zhonghai was somewhat tempted, but he still firmly shook his head: "No, if I send her away now, what will I become? I have to hold out for at least a few days, and I also need to discuss it with Huairu."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's insistence, the old lady had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree.

Regardless, Yi Zhonghai is still the one who calls the shots in this family, and he's the one who earns the money.

Jia family.

Having not seen Jia Zhangshi for the past two days, Banggeng looked at Qin Huairu with some curiosity while eating breakfast and asked, "Mom, where's my grandma? I haven't seen her for the past two days."

"Why are you looking for your grandma?" Qin Huairu frowned.

Banggeng replied without hesitation, "I haven't seen her for days, I miss her!"

Qin Huairu sighed and said, "Your grandma went out of town on some business, she'll be back in a few days!"

"really?"

Qin Huairu nodded and smiled at Banggeng, saying, "Of course it's true! Just focus on your studies and wait for your grandma to come back!"

Banggeng didn't think too much about it: "Okay, I understand, Mom!"

After finishing breakfast, Banggeng went to school.

After school in the afternoon, Banggeng went home, put down his schoolbag, and headed towards Yi Zhonghai's house.

While showing his filial piety to Yi Zhonghai, he also took the opportunity to have a meal at Yi Zhonghai's house.

As we passed by Yi Zhonghai's cottage, we heard a loud thumping sound coming from inside, as if he were banging on the wall.

Banggeng was both scared and curious.

Walking to the window of the hut, Banggeng cautiously peered inside through the crack.

Then he discovered that his grandmother was inside.

"Grandma, what are you doing in there?" Banggeng asked, standing by the window.

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi was leaning against the wall, banging her arm against it!

Upon suddenly hearing the sound of the stick, Jia Zhangshi was overjoyed!

However, her mouth was gagged, so she could only make muffled sounds.

Although Banggeng didn't know what was wrong with Jia Zhangshi, he could tell from the tears streaming down her face that his grandmother was in great pain.

So Banggeng quickly said to the inside, "Grandma, wait here, I'll go get my mom right now!"

Hearing that Banggeng had gone to call his mother over, Jia Zhangshi shook her head frantically.

"Grandma, you won't let me go call my mom?" Banggeng asked, somewhat puzzled, as he watched Jia Zhangshi's actions.

Jia Zhangshi nodded vigorously.

Banggeng asked hesitantly, "So what should I do now? Should I open the door for you?"

Jia Zhangshi nodded again.

Seeing this, Banggeng quickly went to the door of the hut and opened the door that had been locked from the outside.

After entering the small house, Banggeng quickly removed the cloth from Jia Zhangshi's mouth.

Just as Jia Zhangshi was about to start cursing, she stopped herself in time.

Because she knew that continuing to curse wouldn't change anything; in fact, it would only attract other people, and then they would have to shut her up again.

Looking at Banggeng, Jia Zhangshi asked, "Banggeng, how did you know Grandma was here?"

"I don't know!" Banggeng shook his head. "I just finished class and was about to go to my godfather's house for dinner when I suddenly heard a noise inside and found it was you, Grandma!"

After a moment of silence, Jia Zhangshi looked at Banggeng and a thought came to her mind: "Banggeng, Grandma's leg is broken now, could you help Grandma buy some painkillers? The money is in the cotton-padded coat hanging in the inner room!"
