Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

"Jianjun, your Aunt Jia is indeed wrong in this matter. Don't worry, Uncle Yi will give you an explanation. Please give me some time, I will persuade your Aunt Jia."

Yi Zhonghai just felt as uncomfortable and depressed as if he had eaten a fly.

But he could only accept his fate now.

After saying that, he took the Jia family to the side to discuss.

Wang Jianjun was not in a hurry. He brushed off the dust on the steps at the door and sat down to wait.

Speaking of which, Yi Zhonghai has been here for a while, but why haven’t I seen that guy Liu Haizhong?

Isn't this second uncle usually the one who likes to speak in official language?

Xu Damao and Sha Zhu were also missing.

I think Xu Damao should be showing movies in the countryside, and Sha Zhu didn't show up, probably because the steel rolling mill was hosting him.

Otherwise, the old man Yi Zhonghai wouldn't give in so easily.

You have to know that Sha Zhu is a double-flowered red stick under his uncle.

Yi Zhonghai was able to act so arrogantly in this courtyard because of his position in the steel rolling mill, the deaf old lady in the courtyard, and finally the force of Sha Zhu.

The title of Siheyuan God of War is really not an exaggeration.

As I recall, when He Daqing was a rich man, he knew many people from all walks of life in the city.

Among them was someone who fell down under the overpass.

In the 1930s, there was a kind of wrestling performance on the old Sijiu City overpass that was very popular and became a folk custom.

When He Yuzhu was in school, he often skipped classes to watch people wrestling.

He Daqing thought that it was always better to have many skills, so he found someone with real kung fu to teach Sha Zhu wrestling for a while.

Sha Zhu made a name for himself in Siheyuan with these crude kung fu skills and the dirty tricks he learned from all kinds of people.

A man named Xu was made infertile by Sha Zhu's dirty tricks.

Wang Jianjun was just thinking about fighting with this courtyard god of war to see how strong he was.

It seems like it will have to be next time.

On the other side, Jia Zhang was pulled aside by Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu. Her expression was very arrogant at first.

After Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu explained to her the seriousness of the matter, her expression was confused at first, then disbelief, and finally she looked like she had lost her parents.

Obviously, with her limited intelligence, she can still understand the seriousness of it.

As for Qin Huairu, she could only wipe away her tears silently.

I don’t know whether I am sad about the loss of my family or sad about having to live under the same roof with my mother-in-law again in the future.

After they discussed for more than ten minutes, Yi Zhonghai came over with a few people from the Jia family, looking dejected.

Before Yi Zhonghai could speak, Wang Jianjun interrupted him.

"Uncle, I don't want to hear you talk about bargaining with me. And don't tell me that the money is not enough and you have to pay back part of it first. Just tell me whether the Jia family agrees with my plan or not."

Yi Zhonghai choked before he could finish his words.

How did this guy guess what I was going to say?

Jia Dongxu also had an unpleasant look on his face.

He had just discussed with Yi Zhonghai that they would use the tactic of procrastination when the time comes.

Delay it as long as possible. If you can delay it and turn it into a bad debt, you don’t have to pay back the money.

Obviously Wang Jianjun predicted their thoughts.

Yi Zhonghai felt as powerless as if his fist was hitting cotton.

He found that he could no longer see Wang Jianjun.

This kid wasn't so smart before, why did he change after joining the army?

"Jianjun, the Jia family will raise the compensation you want when the time comes, but..."

"I want the money tonight, and the house needs to be cleaned up today. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

Being interrupted again, Yi Zhonghai felt like he was going to vomit blood out of anger.

He took a deep breath, stared at Wang Jianjun's face for a long time, and finally said, "Dongxu and I will bring the money to you in the evening." Then he left angrily with the Jia family.

Seeing that the Jia family had left, Wang Jianjun stood up, dusted off his butt, and left the courtyard.

He hasn't had dinner yet and is still hungry.

When we came out, there were already quite a few people in the yard.

Some people subconsciously turned their faces away when they saw Wang Jianjun.

Just now, when Jia Zhang was throwing a tantrum in the backyard, she made quite a noise, which was heard by quite a few people who were paying attention.

This courtyard is just like a slum. With so many people here, it's impossible to keep secrets.

It only took half a day for the whole hospital to know that he came back to ask for the house.

Those who turned their heads away probably treated their houses as storage rooms, and they were afraid of getting into trouble with themselves, so they didn't dare to look at themselves.

Wang Jianjun didn't bother with those people. He would have to live in the hospital in the future, so there was no need to make everyone in the hospital his enemies.

After leaving the courtyard, Wang Jianjun first went to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative to do some shopping.

There was basically nothing in his two rooms. Most of the belongings from his original family were given to his uncle in the countryside before he went to join the army.

When the original body's father passed away, it was his uncle who was busy helping with the arrangements.

Life was difficult in the countryside, and his uncle's family was in difficulty.

The original owner considered that he didn't know when he would be able to return from the army, so he simply gave the remaining belongings at home to his uncle.

Now everything in the house, from furniture and bed sheets to toothbrushes and towels, needs to be purchased again.

As I recall, there was a supply and marketing cooperative just around the corner in the alley next to the courtyard.

When Wang Jianjun arrived, the supply and marketing cooperative was still open.

When she saw Wang Jianjun come in, the saleswoman sitting inside just sat at the counter, eating melon seeds and reading a comic book without even raising her head.

Wang Jianjun didn't care. That's how the service industry is in this era. There are people who dare to hit customers.

Moreover, jobs like salesperson cannot be obtained without some family connections.

After all, he is one of the eight major members. Although the salary is not high, there is less work to do, the work is easy, and the social status is high.

Wang Jianjun glanced at the goods on the shelves. The variety of goods was pitifully small.

After some selection, I finally bought daily necessities such as washbasin, towel, cup, toothbrush, thermos and broom.

The only thing that surprised him was that this supply and marketing cooperative sold Beibingyang soda.

Drinking a bottle of Arctic Ocean on a hot day is a rare enjoyment in this era.

There are still many other things that are missing, but this supply and marketing cooperative doesn’t have them. I can only go to a few more supply and marketing cooperatives to check later.

Seeing Wang Jianjun buying so many things, the sales lady sitting at the counter rarely looked up.

It's not uncommon to buy a bunch of things at once these days, but you may not come across one once a year.

Everyone’s wealth is accumulated through hard work.

Especially for soda, customers usually buy two bottles at most.

This guy just moved a whole box.

Seeing Wang Jianjun staring at the remaining box of soda, the salesperson quickly stopped him and said:

"Young man, I can't sell you this box anymore. Our supply and marketing cooperative will only receive new stock next week. You should at least leave some for others."

Since the salesperson had spoken, Wang Jianjun decided to quit while he was ahead.

A box of soda is enough for him to drink for a while.

He carried a bunch of goods out of the supply and marketing cooperative, found a deserted place, put all the things into the space, and then walked towards the next supply and marketing cooperative.
