Lying Low to Scavenge in the Courtyard

Zhang Weiguo transmigrates to that era of scarcity, a time of lacking clothes and food.

He is a decorated veteran who has been transferred to a position as the head of the purchasing departme...

Chapter 369: Cutting off the Fire

This is still very possible. In the past, the old man relied on the Jia family for his retirement and was always supportive of the Jia family.

But this time it was different. The uncle no longer had such concerns. The Jia family was of no value to him now.

If Jia Zhang still wants to show displeasure to the master as before, the master will not tolerate her.

An old lady who is of no use to him is not worth a lot of money.

If it was Qin Huairu, the old man might have given her some face.

Even a big uncle likes such a young widow.

The story of Jia Zhang stealing the chicken from the uncle had spread throughout the courtyard.

Everyone was discussing whether the eldest master would drive Jia Zhang away.

Everyone knows that the eldest master favors the Jia family.

In the past, whenever there was any problem, we would talk to the Jia family.

Now the eldest master wants to drive Jia Zhang out, but no one believes it.

They had long been fed up with the old man's behavior.

I don’t know what happened to the uncle this time.

Some people also understand that, uncle, you no longer need the Jia family.

In the past, the old man had no children and could only rely on his apprentice Jia Dongxu to support him in his old age.

Unfortunately, the old man never expected that Jia Dongxu was a short-lived man and would not live as long as he did.

Jia Dongxu’s death directly disrupted the old man’s retirement plan.

The target was set on Sha Zhu. After He Daqing left, Sha Zhu was easy to control.

In order to prevent any accidents, this time the old man considered training Banggeng as his own elderly care partner.

The Jia family is still his pensioner.

This time it was different. The old man never thought that he would have a son.

The appearance of his son made the old man give up his plan of relying on others to take care of him in his old age. Could anyone else be as good as his own son?

Now, the old man no longer needs to worry about retirement issues.

There is nothing in the Jia family worthy of the eldest master's attention.

Others saw through it, but unfortunately Jia Zhang couldn't.

I thought the uncle was still the same uncle as before.

If the old master had his chicken stolen, there might be nothing he could do and he would need the help of the Jia family.

But now it’s different. The master no longer needs the Jia family. If Jia Zhang continues to snatch his chicken, it will be a challenge to his authority.

Even the second uncle couldn't challenge his authority, and you, an old woman, are challenging the authority of the first uncle. You are just looking for trouble.

There is no need to worry about retirement matters, but the position of this uncle is still very important.

The uncle still needs this position to pave the way for his son.

We can't let anyone else take this position now.

The first uncle knew that the second uncle and the third uncle were always keeping an eye on his position.

With these two people alone, the uncle doesn't have to worry at all.

He was just afraid that if two people joined forces, they could really shake his position.

He didn't want to leave any handle for the two people now.

The two uncles are determined to replace him.

Everyone has a different opinion on this matter.

Widow Qin also heard the news, and she didn't want to care about Jia Zhang's affairs at all.

If Jia Zhang could be sent to the countryside, that would be what she would most like to see.

However, she couldn't be the one to propose such a thing, as she still had to maintain the image of a good daughter-in-law.

Now, this Jia Zhang directly offended the eldest master, and made him angry, so he planned to drive her out.

Widow Qin was still a little happy inside.

In this way, her reputation was preserved and she got rid of the trouble of Jia Zhang.

If Jia Zhang was sent back to the countryside, she could save the five dollars a month for Jia Zhang's pension.

It would be best if Jia Zhang could live in the countryside all her life, or even better if she could die in the countryside.

She knew very well what kind of person Jia Zhang was.

Widow Qin would never believe that Jia Zhang would compensate the old man with two chickens.

Once the money entered Jia Zhang's hands, she never asked for it to come out.

Even if it was to help Geng see a doctor, Jia Zhang would not pay for it.

Banggeng is Jia Zhang's favorite grandson.

She didn't even have to pay for it. Although the eldest grandson was good, compared with Jia Zhang herself, she was more important.

Qin Huairu now also wants to know, what will the uncle do?

The uncle has been neighbors with Jia Zhang for such a long time, he must know who Jia Zhang is.

There is no way to compensate for these two chickens.

The uncle had no intention of asking Jia Zhang to pay compensation.

The eldest uncle just wanted to get rid of Jia Zhang directly.

Giving such a condition is giving others an excuse.

He couldn't just drive Jia Zhang away because of such a small matter, otherwise people would talk about him.

However, with such a condition, if Jia Zhang does not comply.

No one would say anything about him no matter what he did to Jia Zhang.

You have been given the conditions, but you don't follow them. Who can you blame?

An old man will also leave a good reputation.

However, the uncle will show no mercy.

This time, the uncle was determined to move Jia Zhang to the countryside.

Ran Qiuye asked Zhang Weiguo: "Does the eldest master really want to send Jia Zhang to the countryside?"

Zhang Weiguo replied: "It should be. It seems that the uncle is serious. The uncle hasn't been this angry for a long time."

Ever since the uncle had a son, he has been happy all day long.

This incident made the old man very angry.

"What can I do, uncle?"

"The uncle still has some face in the street office. As long as the certificate is issued, Jia Zhangshi will have no choice but to leave."

If an old man does this, he is quite cruel.

With one move, he cut off the source of the problem and directly drove Jia Zhang out.

The eldest master has been dominating the courtyard for so many years, and he cannot let Jia Zhang ruin it.

It can also be regarded as a warning to others.

The old man wanted to control the entire courtyard in his own hands and didn't want anyone else to interfere.

He looks like a good person, but I didn't expect that he is so dark and cruel.

The old man has been living in the courtyard for so many years, and his image as a person is still very good.

There are not many people who can be seen as an uncle, and Xu Damao is one of them.

Zhang Weiguo estimated that there would be another meeting tomorrow night, and these people would be asked to force Jia Zhang to leave.

Everything that Jia Zhang did will be exposed directly.

Considering what Jia Zhang has done over the years, these people will definitely agree with what the eldest uncle does.

If everyone in a courtyard agrees, the neighborhood office won't say anything.

That basically decided the matter.

For the sake of an old rural lady, the street office may not even need to conduct an investigation.

Add to that the uncle's face, and the matter may be decided.

Zhang Weiguo was very curious, what would tomorrow night be like?

How will the old man convince the residents of these courtyard houses?
