Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Jia Zhang felt a little embarrassed.

She is a member of the Jia family after all.

Remarrying is already an injustice to Old Jia. If Banggeng were to change his surname now, wouldn't the Jia family be extinct?

But Jia Zhang was a little worried that if she rejected Yi Zhonghai's words, Yi Zhonghai might have a problem with Banggeng and would not have any true feelings towards him in the future.

"Zhong Hai, I have to go back and think about this. Changing your surname is a big deal after all."

"Okay, you and Bang Geng go home first, and tell me your decision tomorrow morning."

At night, Jia Zhang tossed and turned on the bed where she had fought the night before, unable to sleep.

She was struggling over whether to change Banggeng's last name.

After hesitating for a long time, Jia Zhang finally sat up and took out the picture of Lao Jia, put it on the table, took out two coins, clasped her hands together and said:

"Old Jia, I have done you a good deed by being a widow for so many years. You had a good relationship with Old Yi when you were alive, so you can rest assured that I will marry him. But if you still hold a grudge, come up and take Yi Zhonghai away. Don't look for me, as I still have to stay up there to take care of Bang Geng.

Besides, Lao Yi wants Bang Geng to take his last name now. Let me ask your opinion. If the coins are of the same suit, then it means you agree. If they are of different suits, then it means you disagree."

After Jia Zhang finished speaking, she muttered something to herself for a while and then tossed two coins to the ground.

Jia Zhang opened her eyes wide and saw that the two coins were of different colors.

This made her anxious and she said quickly:

"No, no, it doesn't count this time. Lao Jia is not included this time. Banggeng is Dongxu's child after all. Let's listen to Dongxu's opinion."

Jia Zhang took out Dongxu's portrait and placed it in a place where he could be buried. She continued:

"Dongxu, talk to your dad about it. Let's let Banggeng change his last name first. At worst, we can change it back after your master dies. Let's just flip a coin to decide."

After Jia Zhang finished speaking, she muttered a few words to herself and then tossed the coin again.

This time it's the same color.

Jia Zhang was overjoyed and clasped her hands together and said with a smile:

"Okay, Dongxu. Since you and your father agree, I'll agree to Lao Yi."

After saying this, Jia Zhang happily took the photo away and went to bed.

Early the next morning, Jia Zhang told Yi Zhonghai that she agreed to Banggeng's change of surname.

As for Banggeng, he agreed readily after Jia Zhang promised to buy meat for him.

Banggeng is so young and doesn't know what changing his surname means.

Yi Zhonghai was also overjoyed when he heard that Jia Zhang agreed.

So he took Jia Zhang and Bang Geng to the street office early in the morning to register their marriage and change their surnames.

The clerk in charge of marriage registration was also dumbfounded when he saw Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi coming to register their marriage.

He still remembers Yi Zhonghai.

After all, it is rare for someone to get divorced at such an old age.

I didn’t expect that this old man actually came to register for marriage today.

He glanced at Jia Zhang who was following beside him and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

What is this old man up to?

If you're going to get married, you shouldn't marry someone like this.

Yi Zhonghai finally gritted his teeth and signed his name in the registration book.

From then on, there was no longer any Jia Zhang family in the courtyard, only Yi Zhang family.

Classmate Jia Geng officially became classmate Yi Geng.

The Jia family has completely disappeared in the Siheyuan.

After getting together with Yi Zhonghai, Zhang Cuihua was in a very good mood.

She took Banggeng directly to buy some cooked food to satisfy his craving and then sent him to school. She then went to the clinic to buy a bottle of painkillers.

When Zhang Cuihua returned home, she couldn't help but think about what happened that night.

She is 55 years old this year and thought she had gotten used to being a widow for so many years.

But having this experience with Yi Zhonghai was like a dead tree coming back to life, the desire surged in my heart and I could no longer control it.

Recalling the experience of that night, Zhang Cuihua couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

I didn’t expect that Yi Zhonghai is still strong as he gets older. At this age, his fighting ability is not inferior to that of the young Lao Jia.

Zhang Cuihua inexplicably thought of the medicine she stole that day.

The doctor said it was a tonic.

Could it be that this tonic is so effective?

Thinking of this, Zhang Cuihua quickly went to the cupboard and searched for the bottle of aphrodisiac.

She plans to try out the effectiveness of this medicine tonight.

When Yi Zhonghai came home from get off work in the evening, Zhang Cuihua had already cooked cornmeal porridge and steamed corn bread.

"Old Yi, you're back. I've prepared dinner."

As Zhang Cuihua spoke, she brought a bowl of cornmeal porridge to Yi Zhonghai.

I heard familiar words, but I didn’t see familiar people.

Yi Zhonghai felt a little awkward.

Why is Zhang Cuihua's gentle attitude today so disgusting?

However, it made him feel a lot more relaxed when he got home from get off work and had a woman to help him with laundry and cooking.

There are some things that are better done by women.

It would be even more perfect if the old woman in front of me was not my wife.

"Where's Yi Geng?"

Yi Zhonghai picked up the bowl of cornmeal porridge and asked:

"He went back to do his homework after dinner."

Yi Geng got out of school early. Under Zhang Cuihua's coaxing, he ate early and went back to his room to play.

He was glad that he chose to follow his grandmother. Now the spacious house of the Jia family allowed him to live alone. It felt so good that he no longer had to squeeze together with the whole family.

Yi Zhonghai took a mouthful of cornmeal porridge and smelled a familiar fishy smell.

"Cuihua, what did you add to this porridge? Why does it taste a little weird?"

"Nothing, maybe it's because of some soybean paste."

Jia Zhang turned her head away guiltily and didn't look at Yi Zhonghai.

In order to achieve the best experimental effect, she specially put half a pill of aphrodisiac into the porridge to see the effect in the evening.

Yi Zhonghai didn't suspect anything. He was not that picky about food, otherwise he could have eaten well every day with his 99 yuan salary.

Yi Zhonghai was eating while Zhang Cuihua smiled apologetically:

"Zhong Hai, look, I've already married you. Let me be the head of our family from now on.

When Lao Jia and Dong Xu were here, I was the boss, and their salaries were all with me. "

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai sneered inwardly.

He is not that stupid and he must keep his salary firmly in his hands.

If I give it to Zhang Cuihua for safekeeping, and I can get back 10% of it later, it will be considered that Zhang Cuihua has a conscience.

"No need. Guilan wasn't in charge of the money when she was at home. Just tell me if you need money to buy something. I'll buy the rice, flour, oil and other grains."

Yi Zhonghai's words blocked Zhang Cuihua's way of asking for money.

Zhang Cuihua was unwilling to accept this, after all, it was only 99 yuan.

She then said:

"Then you have to give me some money for living expenses."

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and decided that it would be a shame for him to be too ruthless.

"Then I'll give you five dollars a month."

"What?! Five dollars is too little! It should be at least twenty!"

"Impossible! What do you need so much money for!"

"Bang Geng is still growing and needs nutrition. If he doesn't eat well, he will be shorter than other children! He is your grandson now!"

Zhang Cuihua simply used the stick stem as an excuse to try to get more living expenses.
