Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

When Yi Zhonghai came to the kitchen, Sha Zhu was resting.

When he saw Yi Zhonghai coming in, Sha Zhu didn't give him a good look.

"Zhu Zi, your brother Dong Xu was sucked into the machine. He has been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Can you go back to the courtyard and talk to your aunt Jia about this?"

"What?! Something happened to Jia Dongxu?"

Sha Zhu was also very surprised when he heard Yi Zhonghai's words.

He saw Jia Dongxu was fine in the morning, so how could something happen to him after just a few hours of absence?

"Zhu Zi, I know you don't like me. But I have to rush to the hospital to see Dong Xu. I don't know if Dong Xu can make it this time. Please go for Huai Ru's sake."

Sha Zhu hesitated for a while before nodding his head. He then said to a fat man behind him:

"Fatty! I'm going to be out for a while. I'll let you cook the big pot of food later."

"Okay, Master."

As Sha Zhu said this, he took off his chef's hat and rushed to the courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai did not lie to Sha Zhu. He was just about to go to the hospital to see how Jia Dongxu was doing.

Sha Zhu didn't know what his mood was at the moment.

He knew that Jia Dongxu's life was in danger, but he didn't care at all.

Or perhaps he had a vague sense of anticipation in his heart.

But he suppressed this idea tightly.

Sha Zhu ran back to the courtyard and knocked on the Jia family's door.

It was Qin Huairu who opened the door.

When he saw Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu didn't know how to start talking for a moment.

"Zhu Zi, why did you come back?"

Sha Zhu hesitated for a few seconds and said to Qin Huairu:

"Sister Qin, Dongxu was caught in a machine in the factory and has been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Yi Zhonghai asked me to notify you to go to the hospital."

When Qin Huairu heard this, she was so frightened that she collapsed.

When Sha Zhu saw what was happening, he quickly stepped forward to support him.

The result is a soft touch.

And this scene happened to fall into the eyes of Jia Zhang.

When Jia Zhang saw Sha Zhu touching her daughter-in-law, she was so angry that she picked up a broom and was about to hit Sha Zhu.

"Shazhu, you are worse than an animal. How dare you flirt with my second wife in broad daylight? Come on, everyone! Shazhu is being a hooligan!"

Sha Zhu could have easily dodged it, but he thought that if he dodged it would be Qin Huairu who would be hit.

So he could only protect Qin Huairu under him and endure a few blows from Jia Zhang.

The broom is made of thin bamboo branches.

It hurts so much when you get hit on the body.

Sha Zhu was grimacing in pain after being hit by Jia Zhang.

"Aunt Jia, calm down first. I didn't do anything to Sister Qin. I'm here to inform you that Dongxu is being rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. You should go to the hospital right away!"

"Fuck you, you stupid idiot! How dare you curse my son! I'm going to beat you two adulterers to death!"

Sha Zhu was hit a few more times and he also got angry.

I came here with good intentions to deliver the message, but you, Jia Zhang, actually dared to hit me.

Sha Zhu got mad and after taking a hit from Jia Zhang, he kicked Jia Zhang in the stomach.

He had never had a good impression of Jia Zhang.

This kick sent her flying several meters away.

Jia Zhang rolled over several times on the ground and got up in a panic. Seeing that many people were coming around, she simply sat on the ground and cried and yelled at Sha Zhu, cursing:

"Shazhu, you are such a lowly bastard. You have never met a woman in your life, yet you dare to set your sights on my daughter-in-law. Lao Jia, come up here quickly! Take Shazhu away!"

Shazhu was so angry that his nose was almost crooked.

But at this moment, he was holding the unconscious Qin Huairu and he couldn't explain himself clearly.

Fortunately, he saw Zhao Guilan was also there, so he quickly called out:

"Aunt Yi, Huairu is now in your care. Yi Zhonghai asked me to come back and inform the Jia family that Dongxu was in trouble. I told Sister Qin about this and she fainted out of fright."

Zhao Guilan almost had a heart attack when she heard Sha Zhu say that.

She knew how important Jia Dongxu was to Yi Zhonghai.

If Jia Dongxu were gone, all of Yi Zhonghai’s plans over the years would be in vain.

But she didn't have time to worry about Yi Zhonghai at this moment. She quickly stepped forward to help Qin Huairu up and said to Jia Zhang:

"Sister Jia, please go to the hospital."

"You're talking nonsense! Nothing will happen to my Dongxu! He won't die even if you die! Bah! Bah! My son is blessed with a long life, he will become a high-ranking official, what are you thinking of cursing my son like this, idiot Zhu!"

Sha Zhu was also annoyed by Jia Zhang's unreasonable attitude. He stood up and walked out of the yard.

"Yi Zhonghai told me this. I have already told you. Believe it or not."

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Jia Zhang became a little panicked again.

She was angry just now so she didn't believe what Sha Zhu said.

But now he calmed down and realized that something might have really happened to his son.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with grief. She sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

"Dongxu! Dongxu my son! Please don't get hurt! What will your mother do if anything happens to you!!!"

Seeing this, Zhao Guilan quickly advised:

"Sister Jia, now is not the time to cry, go to the hospital and see what's going on!"

After hearing what Zhao Guilan said, Jia Zhang also reacted. She hurried back to the house, got the money and rushed to the hospital.

After Jia Zhang left, Zhao Guilan looked at Qin Huairu who had fainted with a bitter face.

If Jia Dongxu died, not only would his and Yi Zhonghai's hopes be shattered.

The sky also fell on Qin Huairu's family.

At the other hospital, by the time Yi Zhonghai rushed over, Jia Dongxu had already been sent to the operating room.

Director Yang arrived at the hospital half an hour earlier than him by car.

"Master Yi, please stay in the hospital and take care of him first. I and a few other leaders will go back to discuss how to deal with Jia Dongxu's case."

After Director Yang finished speaking, he left.

The steel mill already had a lot of trouble, and now the Jia Dongxu incident happened.

He probably won't get any sleep these days.

After Director Yang and others left, Yi Zhonghai stood alone at the door of the operating room with lifeless eyes.

He leaned against the wall and slowly sat down.

He is almost fifty years old, but now he looks as if he has aged ten years.

Thinking about the current situation of his only remaining elderly supporter, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but shed tears.

He hated why God did this to him.

He and his wife have no children, and this is what happened to their apprentice, the only one who can take care of them in their old age.

Yi Zhonghai clenched his fists tightly and hammered them on the ground again and again.

He didn't even notice that his fist was bleeding.

After a while, Jia Zhang also rushed to the hospital from the courtyard.

She asked her way to the corridor of the operating room and saw Yi Zhonghai sitting on the ground.

Jia Zhang rushed over and grabbed Yi Zhonghai and yelled:

"Yi Zhonghai! Where's Dongxu! Where is my son Dongxu! How is he doing now!!"

Yi Zhonghai was in a daze at the moment, and he didn't react at all when being caught by Jia Zhang.

In desperation, Jia Zhang slapped him in the face.

This slap woke Yi Zhonghai up immediately. When Yi Zhonghai came to his senses, he realized that it was Jia Zhangshi who woke him up.

"Yi Zhonghai! What happened to my son Dongxu? Tell me now!"

"Dongxu is still inside and is being rescued. I don't know how he is now."
