Siheyuan: A Beautiful Life

"Master He! Your house is changed from a one-story building to two floors, plus divided rooms, etc., the cost will be two floors higher than the east wing of the patriotic comrade. If we are responsible for paying for the materials, it will probably cost

Between five hundred and six hundred." Master Liu heard Sha Zhu's inquiry, and after confidently calculating with paper and pen, he told Sha Zhu the cost of decorating the house.

Sha Zhu originally thought that after repairing his house, it would only cost four to five hundred yuan at most. Now that he learned the price quoted by Master Liu, Sha Zhu was frightened and asked Master Liu in confusion:

"Master Liu! The area of ​​Patriot's house is about the same as mine. Why does his house only cost more than 500 yuan, but mine is so much more expensive?"

When Master Liu heard Sha Zhu's inquiry, he did not feel dissatisfied because of Sha Zhu's doubts. Instead, he introduced with a serious face: "Master He! Your house is indeed about the same size as the house of a patriotic comrade!"

"But in addition to dividing your house, you also need to build an extra floor. In this way, the area of ​​​​your house will be increased by fifty or sixty square meters, and the materials and engineering volume of your house will also be greater than that of Patriot.

There are many gay houses, so it is more than a hundred dollars more expensive than the house in Patriot."

After hearing Master Liu's explanation, Shazhu understood the reason.

Silly Zhu has saved more than 300 yuan in the past few years of working. More than 300 yuan may seem like a lot, but it is more than half the cost of repairing the house.

Realizing that he didn't have enough money, an embarrassed expression appeared on Shazhu's face, and he said to Master Liu with some embarrassment: "Master Liu! I don't have enough money now. I need to find someone to borrow it. When I get enough money,

, I’ll contact you again!”

Master Liu heard what Sha Zhu said and saw the embarrassed expression on Sha Zhu's face. He smiled and replied: "Master He! OK! Then come to me after you have raised enough money."

Together with Sha Zhu, Wu Aiguo sent Master Liu to the door of the courtyard, and then asked Sha Zhu with a smile: "Brother Zhu Zhu! I have renovated the house and I still have three or four hundred yuan left. How much money do you have left?"

I can lend you some first."

It is said that there is no harm without comparison. Wu Aiguo's words immediately reminded Silly Zhu of the scene where he asked Yi Zhonghai to borrow money two days ago.

At this moment, Silly Zhu finally understood a truth. The so-called people who are good to him are not the kind of people who only talk and talk, but the people who can really stand up and help him at critical moments.

Facing Wu Aiguo's help, Shazhu replied gratefully: "Aiguo! After I get back the money sent by He Daqing, I will see how much is missing, and then I will ask you to borrow it."

When Wu Aiguo heard what Sha Zhu said, he nodded subconsciously and replied: "Brother Zhu Zhu! If you don't have enough money, you can come to me at any time."

When Si Zhu returned home, he remembered Yi Zhonghai's affair with money, and finally decided to go to the deaf old lady's place.

"Old lady! Have you eaten?" When Silly Zhu came to the deaf old lady's house, the deaf old lady had just finished dinner. Silly Zhu saw the old lady sitting at the table and asked the old lady with a smile.

When the deaf old lady saw Silly Zhu's arrival, she looked at Silly Zhu kindly and replied: "Zhuzi! Your aunt sent me two white-faced steamed buns tonight. I ate one and there was one left.

Would you like some too?"

When Si Zhu heard the deaf old lady's answer, he shook his head subconsciously and replied: "Old lady! I'm not hungry, you can eat by yourself!"

The deaf old lady heard Sha Zhu's answer and saw that Sha Zhu was worried, so she curiously asked Sha Zhu: "Si Zhu! Did something happen?"

When Shazhu heard the deaf old lady's inquiry, he thought of his purpose of coming to find the deaf old lady, and asked the deaf old lady: "Old lady! Do you know why He Daqing left me and Yuyu behind?"

When the deaf old lady heard Si Zhu suddenly mentioning He Daqing's affairs, a strange look flashed in her eyes, and she curiously asked Si Zhu: "Zhu Zhu! Didn't He Daqing run away to Baoding with Widow White? Why did you suddenly ask about it today?

What’s going on with He Daqing?”

When Si Zhu heard the answer from the deaf old lady, he had a vague feeling that the deaf old lady obviously knew the reason for He Daqing's sudden departure.

Thinking that Yi Zhonghai had misunderstood the money sent by He Daqing, Shazhu said angrily: "Old lady! Although He Daqing ran away with the White Widow, I heard that He Daqing has been sending money to Yuyu and me in the past few years.

Money, but the money was swallowed up by Yi Zhonghai."

"What! Silly Zhu! What did you say? He Daqing has been sending money to you brothers and sisters these years. Who did you hear about this?" The deaf old lady was filled with wrinkles when she heard the news that Silly Zhu told her.

A shocked expression appeared on his face, and he asked Silly Zhu.

When Silly Zhu heard the deaf old lady's inquiry and saw her reaction, he immediately realized that the deaf old lady obviously didn't know about He Daqing sending money to their brother and sister.

Facing the inquiry of the deaf old lady, Silly Zhu replied very definitely: "Old lady! I have confirmed this from the post office. The second month after He Daqing left Kyoto, he started to send money to Yuyu and me.

The mailing has not stopped until now, and the person who collects it is Yi Zhonghai."

Despite her age, the old lady is a very shrewd person. When she heard the situation introduced by Sha Zhu, she immediately remembered the incident where Sha Zhu borrowed money from Yi Zhonghai.

At that time, the old lady was still wondering why Sha Zhu asked Yi Zhonghai to borrow money when he had nothing to do. Now after hearing the situation introduced by Sha Zhu, the old lady immediately realized that Sha Zhu's borrowing money was a lie and that Yi Zhonghai was testing the truth.

When the deaf old lady thought about what Yi Zhonghai had been planning all these years, an ominous thought immediately arose in her heart, and she quickly explained to Yi Zhonghai: "Silly Zhu! Your monthly salary is more than eighty yuan.

Money, I shouldn’t be interested in your money. Is there any misunderstanding here?”

Although Silly Zhu was called Silly Zhu, he was not stupid at all. When he heard the explanation of the deaf old lady, he did not believe the deaf old lady at all, and replied: "Old lady! If it is a misunderstanding, that day

When I asked Yi Zhonghai to borrow money, Yi Zhonghai would not be coy and say that he had no money to lend me."

"Old lady! I asked someone specifically. If I took the post office receipt and went to the police station to report the crime, based on what Yi Zhonghai did, it would be enough for him to stay there for several years."

"Considering how much Auntie has taken care of us brothers and sisters over the years, I kept silent. When Auntie brings you breakfast tomorrow, please tell Auntie for me and ask Yi Zhonghai to use the money he has spent all these years.

Give me back every penny, otherwise don't blame me for not remembering the neighborly friendship that I have had for so many years."

When the deaf old lady heard the cruel words uttered by Sha Zhu, she thought of Sha Zhu's character and secretly thought in her heart: "It's bad! It's bad! It's really going to be bad this time! This Yi Zhonghai is also real, how can he even do this?"

Do you dare to swallow the money?"
