Chapter 65 Jia Zhangshi is dead
The deaf old lady has only recently gained some influence in the courtyard thanks to the influence of Deputy District Chief Zeng, but she is not as powerful as she is in the story.
Yi Zhonghai had only just begun to show some authority, and He Yuzhu's exposure of the deaf old lady's true colors when she brought down Yi Zhonghai had ruined their reputations.
On the surface, Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady seem very powerful, and everyone in the courtyard respects them. But in reality, everyone is wary of them.
The birds in the courtyard may not remember kindness, but they will certainly remember grudges.
Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady can only intimidate them now by using the name of former Deputy District Chief Zeng.
Some people harbored illusions, hoping that by befriending Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady, they could ask Deputy District Chief Zeng for help with some matters.
Liu Haizhong wanted to become an official, while Yan Bugui was calculating that his children were almost grown up and it was time to find them jobs.
Yan Jiecheng, Xu Damao, and Liu Guangqi are the same age.
Yan Jiecheng, who is seventeen years old this year, now does odd jobs on the street.
With the help of Xu Fugui, Xu Damao is now working as a projectionist at the steel rolling mill.
Liu Guangqi attended a vocational high school, where he could become a cadre upon graduation.
The only problem was with Yan Jiecheng, and Yan Bugui was unwilling to spend eight million or ten million to buy him a job.
Yan Bugui curried favor with Yi Zhonghai because the latter promised to let the deaf old lady ask Deputy District Chief Zeng to arrange a job for their family.
However, Yan Bugui only remembered the first sentence and forgot the second.
Yi Zhonghai instigated Yan Bugui for two reasons: first, to get Yan Bugui, his third uncle, to support him; and second, to have Yan Bugui take care of the deaf old lady.
If Yan Bugui truly cares for the deaf old lady, he believes that if she were to ask Deputy District Chief Zeng for help, the latter would certainly not mind arranging a worker position for her.
Yi Zhonghai himself doesn't need to worry about arranging jobs for his children; his daughter can take over his job when she grows up.
In order to get rid of the deaf old lady, he actually gave Yan Bugui a suggestion. If the other party could take good care of the deaf old lady, he could really get a job.
Yi Zhonghai didn't exactly cheat him; the problem was that Yan Bugui was shrewd. Even his own family had to share salted vegetables and cornbread, so how could he bear to serve the deaf old lady a feast every day?
The key point is that this hasn't been going on for just a day or two. The deaf old lady won't give any favors unless she gets her money's worth.
The deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai are both actually quite stingy. They're both the kind of people who would expect a mountain of gold in return for a single cornbread.
Yan Bugui felt that since he supported Yi Zhonghai in becoming a powerful figure and followed him around in everything, he should arrange a job for his family.
Yan Bugui felt that Yi Zhonghai couldn't do without his support, and he also saw through Yi Zhonghai's plan to retire.
Yan Bugui was confident that Yi Zhonghai couldn't do without his support, which is why he was so sure that Yi Zhonghai would help him solve Yan Jiecheng's job problem.
Yi Zhonghai is the type of person who won't act until he sees a clear benefit, so how could he possibly waste his opportunity for such a small gain?
Yan Bugui was destined to regret it, and it wasn't until Yan Jiecheng couldn't find a partner that he had to spend money to buy him a job.
At the same time, he only thought that Yi Zhonghai couldn't do without him, but forgot that even without Yi Zhonghai, he was actually the one everyone in the courtyard hated.
However, Yan Bugui certainly won't see it right now.
Yan Jiecheng is still young, and Yan Bugui can wait.
The story begins in 1965, when Yan Jiecheng had been married for three years and was 27 years old.
It is evident that Yan Jiecheng was around 24 or 25 years old when he got married, and now he is only 54 years old, just over 17 years old.
Given the context of that era, it was considered abnormal for a man to be unmarried at the age of twenty.
Yan Jiecheng only married Yu Li when he was twenty-four or twenty-five, which clearly shows that he had been held back by not having a job or a house before.
The house where Yan Bugui's family lived in the front yard was the west wing, and the house was definitely not comparable to He Yuzhu's main house.
The room was less than forty square meters. The Yan family used wooden boards and curtains to divide it into three rooms.
Yan Bugui, Yang Ruihua, and their daughter Yan Jiedi shared a room.
One is a combined living room and dining room, and the other is the house of the three brothers Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, and Yan Jiekuang.
It's fair to say that the Yan family was living in very cramped conditions. Under such circumstances, even if Yu Li were foolish, she wouldn't marry Yan Jiecheng.
It's likely that Yan Jiecheng got a job and was allocated a house before marrying Yu Li.
There are many things involved that we certainly can't see now.
Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai are still scheming against each other, each believing they have the upper hand.
He Yuzhu was familiar with the plot, and he even had the TV series "Full House of Love" downloaded on his computer. He could also continuously analyze some of the characters and events.
He Yuzhu can treat it as watching real people appear on screen, and you can even interact with them, which is actually quite interesting.
He Yuzhu is now unsure whether his arrival will change the plot. Given the current situation, the courtyard house plot has a strong ability to be repaired.
The deaf old lady had already passed away, but she was still brought back.
Yi Zhonghai was clearly not an old man, but now, three years later, the other party has become an old man.
These events taught He Yuzhu that sometimes, no matter how much you scheme, you can't change fate.
Jia Dongxu was released on the third day, and the steel mill also learned about the Jia family's situation.
Jia Dongxu was penalized with a three-month salary deduction, and he was also required to write a self-criticism every day for a month.
This was only because Jia Zhangshi took the blame herself and cleared Jia Dongxu of the blame. Otherwise, at best, Jia Dongxu would be dismissed, and at worst, he would be shot along with her.
At first, Jia Zhangshi thought it was a minor matter, until a police officer told her directly that the evidence was now conclusive and it didn't matter whether she spoke or not.
Furthermore, if she doesn't speak up, she and Jia Dongxu would be considered to be acting as a gang, and their crimes would be equally serious.
When Jia Zhangshi asked how long she would be sentenced to, the police looked at her with pity, and in that instant, Jia Zhangshi had an epiphany.
Suddenly, Jia Zhangshi had a flash of inspiration and her mind became incredibly clear.
She readily admitted to stealing vegetables, exonerating Jia Dongxu and even refraining from implicating Jia Zhangshi in Qin Huairu's case.
Jia Zhangshi knew she was finished. She knew that stealing could lead to imprisonment, and in serious cases, even execution.
She just kept hoping for the best, and she thought she could handle it, so she just threw a tantrum.
At most, it's just a matter of losing money, as long as no one sues. This is only because they found her; if she denies it, there's nothing anyone can do about it.
In addition, Yi Zhonghai's deliberate indulgence and favoritism towards the Jia family fueled Jia Zhangshi's arrogance and lawlessness.
Jia Zhangshi held this mindset because she was used to taking advantage of others. It was simply a matter of how much of an advantage she could gain, and she had no idea that this would cause such a big fuss.
It can be said that the moment the police arrived, things had already exceeded the expectations of Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi.
No matter how capable they are, they cannot stop things from continuing to slide into the abyss.
It's difficult to determine whether Zhonghai had such a scheme, or whether he deliberately indulged Jia Zhangshi in order to bring about this day.
Everyone has their own ideas. Perhaps Yi Zhonghai only chose to befriend Jia Zhangshi for retirement.
However, given Yi Zhonghai's mindless indulgence of Jia Zhangshi, including Bang Geng, it's hard not to suspect his motives.
This includes deaf elderly women; they are the kind who only care about their own retirement and don't consider whether the other person will be filial to them in the future.
Not wanting to burden her son was the last good thing Jia Zhangshi did for Jia Dongxu as a mother. Not wanting to burden Qin Huairu was mainly because she genuinely didn't know.
Even if she tried to frame the other party, it would be useless. Besides, even if she died, she would have to consider how to face the Jia family ancestors. She couldn't die with her daughter-in-law who was pregnant with her grandson.
贾张氏爱招魂也无比确定人死了是有阴间地府的，她可不想在那里BJ老贾揍她。
Perhaps for this reason, Jia Zhangshi chose Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu at the last minute.
Since Jia Zhangshi confessed voluntarily, there was no need to continue the investigation. As for how much of the vegetables were missing, a more accurate figure was finally obtained.
Jia Zhangshi was soon executed, and Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu went to collect her body.
Instead of taking it to the courtyard house, they found a vehicle on-site to transport it directly to the Jia family's ancestral grave and buried it there.
It was only then that Jia Dongxu realized the deep malice of others. No one in Jiajiazhuang helped him, and Jia Zhangshi had offended many people in the village before.
Later, after moving to the city, she looked down on everyone. When people from Jiajiazhuang came to the city to look for Old Jia, Jia Zhangshi always gave them a cold shoulder, and people understood.
Now that the Jia family is in trouble, no one else will bother to come over and fawn over them.
Besides, nobody wants to mess with a thief.
Jia Dongxu had no choice but to spend money to hire someone to arrange a meager funeral for his mother.
Qin Huairu followed the whole way, neither weeping nor showing joy.
As a daughter-in-law, she had to be present no matter what. Even if she was heavily pregnant, she had to see her mother-in-law off on her final journey, otherwise people would say she was unfilial.
No matter how bad Jia Zhangshi is, she's still her mother-in-law. At this point, it's easy to be treated with double standards.
So Qin Huairu came and cooperated fully, fulfilling her duty.
Jia Dongxu fell ill after returning home, and then obediently went to work at the steel rolling mill.
Qin Huairu arrived at the courtyard and collapsed into He Yuzhu's arms, completely exhausted.
"Do you see the consequences of stealing? If you don't educate your children properly, this is what will happen to them in the future."
"What are you saying? My child could never be a thief."
He Yuzhu curled his lips. The most difficult-to-kill Thief Saint's Staff in all the heavens and myriad realms was actually not a thief.
"When Jia Zhangshi was alive, you couldn't discipline the children. Now that Jia Zhangshi is gone, I hope you will educate them properly. They may not be capable, but they must be upright people. Otherwise, I will take my children away from you. I will not allow my children to become criminals in the future."
"I know, don't worry, I won't raise the child badly."
"I hope so. Also, you need to be careful about how you love your children; you can't spoil them. Look at Yushui, I make sure she eats well and dresses well, but she does a good job with housework and studies. I hope you will ask the same of your children. As long as they are obedient and sensible, I will help them find jobs in the future."
"Yes, I've remembered them all."
