Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Seeing his apprentice being beaten, Yi Zhonghai hurried forward to help pull Xu Damao and Jia Dongxu apart.

However, Xu Damao was so furious that he seemed to have gone mad.

After being pulled away, he kicked Jia Dongxu, then violently pushed Yi Zhonghai away, pointed at his nose and cursed:

"You old man, you still think you are the boss of the courtyard! Let me tell you, I am targeting the Jia family."

Xu Damao said as he looked at his neighbors and said loudly:

"Since you are so curious, I will tell you straight away. That's right, I, Xu Damao, divorced that bitch Chen Li. The son she gave birth to is not my son.

I am not afraid of people wearing shoes even if I am barefoot. If anyone wants to be as mean as Jia Zhang, don’t blame me for being rude!”

It was a rare moment for Xu Damao to show his toughness, but it looked a little funny with his bruised face and nose.

But no one dared to offend him at this moment, even He Yuzhu couldn't help but look at him again.

This was the first time he had seen Xu Damao like this.

After saying this, Xu Damao ignored everyone and limped back to the backyard.

When Jia Zhang saw Xu Damao leave, she stood up, grabbed Yi Zhonghai's arm and cried:

"Uncle, you have to make the decision for my family! Look, Dongxu and I were beaten! Xu Damao must pay for my medical expenses!"

"Sister Jia, I am no longer the head of the courtyard. You still have to ask Liu Haizhong to come forward on this matter."

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was actually glad that he was no longer a big boss.

He didn't want to be the one to uphold justice in this kind of bullshit.

He only cares about how seriously Jia Dongxu is injured. As for Jia Zhang, it's fine as long as she is not dead.

After making a fuss for a while, Jia Zhang saw that no one paid any attention to her, so she had no choice but to go back to her room and lie down.

By the way, I took out a painkiller to satisfy my craving.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel a little scared when he heard Xu Damao's words.

He was sad for a long time when Chen Li married Xu Damao. He didn't expect that this time it was Xu Damao who would shield him.

Considering that Xu Damao helped me this time.

I should just beat him less in the future. After all, Xu Damao was really pitiful this time.

After Xu Damao returned home, he took the medicine and applied it on himself.

He calmed down now, but his eyes became a little cold.

He is a vindictive person.

How could he let Chen Li go after suffering such a great insult?

The next day, Xu Damao took a special leave, changed his disguise and went to Chen Li's parents' home.

He squatted near Chen Li's parents' home for several hours before he saw Chen Li leaving the house.

When Xu Damao saw her come out, he followed Chen Li from a distance.

He followed Chen Li to the military compound and watched her get into a car.

Looking at the car going away, Xu Damao's eyes seemed to have fire burning.

Finally found you.

Xu Damao did not continue to follow.

Two legs definitely can't outrun four wheels.

Anyway, I know where the other person lives, so I can always find out who the adulterer is later.

On the other side, Chen Li followed Li Yuanchao to the street office to get a marriage certificate.

Looking at the marriage certificate that she had been looking forward to so much, Chen Li couldn't feel happy at all.

After the two of them returned, Li Yuanchao locked himself in the room.

He and Chen Li live in separate rooms.

Chen Li hugged Xu Zihan, of course he was no longer called Xu Zihan now.

Li Danian liked his grandson's name very much, so he simply changed his surname to Li Zihan.

The conditions of the Li family are naturally not comparable to those of the Xu family.

A small detached building with a bathroom.

But after Chen Li moved in, she felt like she was in prison.

After his divorce, Xu Damao also became silent in the hospital.

His story was spread by the aunties in the courtyard and became known to everyone in the whole street.

Xu Damao also gave up.

Every day after coming home, he would lock himself in the room and drink.

Xu Damao’s incident did not affect the enthusiasm of the people in the hospital for celebrating the New Year.

As a result, the people in the hospital received bad news before the New Year.

Three days before the Chinese New Year.

Someone from the subdistrict office suddenly came down and asked the old man to organize a meeting of the whole hospital and convey a document sent down by the superiors.

The document only mentioned one thing, that starting from the new year, the supply of food grain for urban residents will be reduced by 10%.

People with non-urban household registration are encouraged to return to the countryside and join people's communes to reduce the burden on their families.

When Jia Zhang heard the news, she was so scared that she hid back in her house.

She was already traumatized by the previous experience.

As for returning to the countryside, that is impossible.

She would rather starve to death in the city than go back to the countryside.

The news from the street office clerk caused everyone in the courtyard to panic.

Everyone couldn't help but talk in low voices.

Although the people in the subdistrict office said that the reason was that food could not be allocated in time.

But any resident who has ever been hungry is skeptical of this statement.

You have to know that everyone’s current food quota is already very tight.

Most people can only barely get enough to eat by either skipping one meal or replacing fine grains with coarse grains like Uncle San.

Now the food supply has been reduced by 10%. If the distribution is shared equally, people will be even less able to eat.

It's not a pleasant feeling to be hungry.

So after the whole hospital meeting, everyone in the hospital suffered from sleeplessness.

Everyone was thinking about one thing: where to get food.

Early the next morning, as soon as it was light, everyone in the courtyard took their grain books and grain bags and went out to buy food.

I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to buy food if I was a step late.

But when they arrived at the grain station, they found that the line was already very long.

These people had the foresight to get the news and rushed to line up to buy food in the second half of the night.

When the grain station opened, we were told that each person could only buy a maximum of ten kilograms of grain.

This undoubtedly exacerbated the panic among residents.

And panic is contagious.

So in the next few days, you can see long queues at various grain stations.

Because of the food issue, everyone in the courtyard has been worried these days.

I just don't feel like celebrating the New Year.

The only two people in the entire courtyard who are not affected are probably Wang Jianjun and He Yuzhu.

Shazhu is a cook.

As the saying goes, even in years of disaster the cook will never starve, so Sha Zhu is really not worried about the problem of food.

I can’t say the food is delicious, but at least I won’t go hungry.

Now he has kept a low profile in the kitchen of the steel mill.

Occasionally, the small kitchen can bring back some leftovers.

So life is pretty good.

As for Wang Jianjun, there is no need to mention him.

No one in the courtyard would be hungry, and he would not be hungry.

No matter how bad the situation is, Chinese people still attach great importance to the Chinese New Year.

By New Year's Eve, every household will try every possible means to get some good things to reward themselves.

In the past few days, Wang Jianjun also sold a lot of things to Chen Biao, Li Kuiyong and others.

When there is not enough food at the grain station, the pigeon market becomes the second choice.

Although the price will be much higher, it is better than having nothing to eat and going hungry.

Wang Jianjun had no control over Chen Biao and the others, but he still specifically told Li Kuiyong not to raise the price.

Those who come to Pigeon City are ordinary people.

Their lives are already difficult enough, and they don't need this little money, so there's no need for them to profit from the country's disaster.

Li Kuiyong now obeys Wang Jianjun's every word.

He sold it however Wang Jianjun told him to.

As for Wu Jing, Wang Jianjun was too lazy to care about her.

Anyway, the money earned is from the old people.

Wang Jianjun would not sympathize with those people's pockets.
