Chapter 427 The Last Straw
Others' New Year was not sad, but it was definitely not happy.
However, the Jia family lived a lively and bustling life.
According to Qin Huairu, it was Jia Zhang who figured it out and sold her dowry so that the Jia family could live a good life for a few days.
Some people understand this, and some people don't.
Of course, when it came to the Yi couple, it was a different story.
In other words, after hearing about Xu Damao's family situation, Jia Zhang figured it out and used her private money to help Jia Dongxu recover.
In the end, the mother and son of the Jia family put everything on the line, betting that Qin Huairu would be pregnant with a child who would change the fate of the Jia family.
The ones who were nervous were Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu, while Qin Huairu knew nothing about it.
Yi Zhonghai may know something, but he doesn't care. To put it bluntly, he is just using the reputation of helping the Jia family to reject others.
He doesn't care about the troubles Jia Dongxu has outside.
For Yi Zhonghai, he now just hopes that this difficulty will pass soon.
It’s not that his life is not affected just because he has a high income.
In fact, like most people, all they think about is how to live.
People like Yi Zhonghai, who are slightly better off, are thinking about how to ensure their own living conditions without attracting envy.
This is the most important.
After the He brothers and sisters moved out of the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai tried various ways to restore his reputation and voice in the courtyard.
Of course, it was normal to be destroyed. After all, without He Yuzhu's force and recklessness, the neighbors in the yard were not much worse than Yi Zhonghai if they performed normally.
So, at this time, Yi Zhonghai really wanted to leave the yard.
He planned to wait until this difficulty was over, change to another factory, stay away from those people in the factory who knew his background, and start over.
Now Yi Zhonghai naturally didn't dare to leave. Although he couldn't be the boss in the courtyard, he had the support of the deaf old lady and Jia Zhang's unreasonable behavior. At least no one dared to bully the Yi family.
The deaf old lady is in a good mood these days.
She had already been informed by the outside world, and after the Chinese New Year, it would be time to close in on Jia Dongxu.
This can be considered as the obsession of the deaf old lady, so during this period of time, the deaf old lady is no longer sinister in the yard.
It was a rare moment when he smiled.
There was only one bad thing, she had tried to please Xu Damao's wife Jiuer many times.
But Miss Jiuer just ignored her.
Especially recently because Jiuer is pregnant, Xu Damao's mother came specially to take care of her. That is really meticulous care.
In this regard, Xu Damao's job is easy to do, and the old couple of the Xu family have a solid foundation of their own.
Therefore, the living conditions here are considered to be among the best in the Siheyuan.
For example, around the end of the year, because of Lou Bancheng's return, both Xu's father and son received rewards from the Lou family.
Xu Damao is much more arrogant than He Yuzhu in this regard.
He rode the mutton hanging on the handlebar of his bicycle into the yard.
To be honest, he also had some thoughts of competing with He Yuzhu.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so arrogant.
Even though this year was difficult for the city, by the end of the year, every household still received the benefits of living under the emperor's feet.
Every family can use their household registration booklet to purchase an additional amount of pork, flour, eggs, etc.
The streets also have representation for lonely elderly people like the deaf old lady.
So when we say that life in other places is hard, it is really hard.
But it is still debatable to say that life in the old city was hard. On New Year's Eve, every household was filled with the aroma of meat.
After the deaf old lady returned home from the Yi family's reunion dinner, she sat at the table and smelled the aroma of mutton from the Xu family. She spat secretly and muttered a few words, but none of them were good.
Looking further into the distance, she seemed to see the Jia family in the dark night.
Saw Jia Dongxu.
The deaf old lady raised her lips slightly, but murmured to herself: "Xiaowu, godmother can avenge you immediately. ..."
The miracle did not happen. Even if Jia Dongxu worked overtime every day, Qin Huairu's belly could not swell like a balloon.
Jia Dongxu could only follow Jia Zhang's arrangement and try to postpone this matter.
Every day when going to and from get off work, I feel like a thief. After leaving the courtyard gate and the factory gate, I look around, for fear of being blocked by Xin San.
Xin San didn't block him, but people came to him directly.
Through the incident in Little Forest last year, Xin San had turned Jia Dongxu's gambling debt into his own loan.
Xin San has every right to get this thing.
Xin San went straight to the workshop where Jia Dongxu was. When Jia Dongxu saw Xin San, he was so scared that he didn't even bother to turn off the machine. He ran to Xin San and pulled him into a corner.
Jia Dongxu clasped his fists repeatedly and begged Xin San: "Third brother, third brother, give me some face. If there is anything, let's talk after get off work!"
Xin San no longer looked that simple and honest. He pointed at Jia Dongxu's nose and sneered: "I want to talk to you after get off work too!
But you always avoid me, what can I do!
Master Yi! ..."
Xin San suddenly shouted to Yi Zhonghai who was not far away.
Yi Zhonghai did not come over, but nodded to Xin San, just like an acquaintance passing by.
Yi Zhonghai should know something, but he doesn't want to care.
But Xin San's shout frightened Jia Dongxu so much that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Jia Dongxu's face turned pale and he said: "Third brother, you are my real brother.
Give me two more days, I will collect enough money to pay you back."
Xin San sneered again: "Don't play tricks on me. The IOU you wrote to me clearly stated the reason for borrowing the money.
Your family is in financial difficulty, so as a co-worker, I would like to lend you money.
For this lawsuit, I am not afraid even if I go to the factory leaders, the street office, or the police station!
Either you pay me back or I'll go to your yard with you today to discuss this.
Brother, I'll wait for you at the factory gate after get off work!"
"Aren't you forcing me to die?" Jia Dongxu said gritting his teeth.
"Haha," Xin San smiled and even said hello to an acquaintance passing by. But when he lowered his head and spoke to Jia Dongxu again, his tone was already grim.
He also whispered: "If you have the guts to die, I really admire you for being a man!
Our account is written off.
Do you dare?
You are such a coward, you dare not do anything!
Then don't play tricks on me.
If you push me too far, I won't just ask for money. Maybe Mr. Fu and his men will come and take your whole family's lives!"
Xin San probably thought he had won for sure, so he spoke less cautiously, but he showed the fangs he should have.
After Xin San left, Jia Dongxu returned to the machine in a daze. He sat on the workpiece with a blank look in his eyes.
He didn't know how to break this deadlock.
Jia Dongxu looked at Yi Zhonghai who was busy nearby, like a drowning person seeing a life-saving straw.
He rushed over and begged Yi Zhonghai: "Master, save me, Master, please save me!..."
