I won't give you this money. Give up on that idea!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>First Aunt refused to agree no matter what. She had thought Yi Yi Zhonghai had changed and knew how to make money, but she hadn't expected him to ask for 1,200 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She wouldn't give that money away even if her life depended on it; it was her pension for the rest of her life!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What do you know? You’re just a woman with long hair and short knowledge. This era isn't like before. Don't you see how many people outside are making money doing business!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What kind of business can you do with one or two hundred? You can't earn much from a street stall, and you’re exhausted every day. I’m so old, how can I take that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I’m telling you, if we take this 1,200 yuan out, it can triple! Then we can find someone to take care of us in our old age!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. What do you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai was like a gambler; he couldn't listen to anything!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was searching even more frantically now; his home, which had been fine, was already a mess!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai couldn't suppress his greed at the thought of becoming half a ten-thousand-yuan household soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Then tell me first, what are you going to do with this 1,200 yuan? Who is taking you to do what? Don't tell me you just heard someone say something outside and want to take the money out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Go to sleep now. You’re drunk, your brain is muddled and unclear!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>First Aunt was truly about to be driven to a brain hemorrhage. This wasn't the thought of a normal person!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If 1,200 yuan could triple so easily, it wouldn't be his turn to make money!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"First Aunt, I’m the one taking First Uncle to make money. Rest assured, how could I joke with you?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Look at my gold watch, gold necklace, and this leather bag. This outfit alone is worth this much!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I haven't been doing business for long. If it weren't for the lack of capital, I’d be several times richer than I am now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"First Uncle is partnering with me in business. I’m definitely investing more than First Uncle. Rest assured, how could I joke with my own money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Xu Damao, who had been listening outside, saw that things were going wrong and rushed in to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, when First Aunt saw that it was Xu Xu Damao taking Yi Yi Zhonghai to do business, she was even less reassured.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She had long known what kind of person Xu Xu Damao was!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not to mention that during the 10 years, Xu Xu Damao had been arrogant and disgusting!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Xu Xu Damao, shut up! I don't care why you came back to the courtyard, but my family won't give you any money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I can let him do some small business with one or two hundred, but I won't let him take so much money for you to gamble with!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How could First Aunt take out so many savings just because of Xu Xu Damao’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai had reached his limit. He had to get this money out today!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just now, Xu Xu Damao had taken him to see the sales of his home appliances. Seeing so much money, Yi Yi Zhonghai had been blinded!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hurry up and take the money out. I earned this money. What does it have to do with you? I’ll spend it however I want. Do I need you to tell me what to do!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I’m still speaking to you nicely. Don't be ungrateful later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Do you believe I’ll divorce you? You idiot, you don't know how to make money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai had been drinking, so his brain wasn't clear, and after seeing Xu Xu Damao make so much money, he was brainwashed by Xu Xu Damao and lost his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now Yi Yi Zhonghai was actually saying he wanted to divorce First Aunt—something that had never happened before!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What did you say? You bastard, I’ve worked hard in this house my whole life, and you’re saying you want to divorce me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Try it! If you really take this money out, I’ll definitely divorce you, and you can forget about living this life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>First Aunt had been angry these days. Now, in a fit of rage, she took a jar from under the bed—clearly, it contained money!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>First Aunt was still questioning Yi Yi Zhonghai, hoping he would turn back!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"First Aunt, there’s no need to go to such lengths. It’s just a temporary investment. Once that batch of goods arrives, the money will come back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Home appliances are in short supply in the capital now. As long as we can transport one, we can sell it and just sit on the bed and count the money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Good days are coming. Why are you talking about divorce here? There’s no need for that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Xu Damao wasn't really worried about First Aunt and Yi Yi Zhonghai divorcing; he was afraid Yi Yi Zhonghai would back out, so he quickly persuaded her!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Did you hear that? Stop acting crazy. Give me the money quickly. You’ll be happy when we’re counting the money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai couldn't care less; he stepped forward and took the box from the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just like that, Yi Yi Zhonghai took out a large stack of 1,200 yuan from the box. After taking it out, there was only a little over 100 yuan left in the box!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Sha Zhu and Xu Xu Damao had been enemies, they hadn't lived in the same courtyard for so many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sha Zhu had been doing odd jobs and didn't know any other friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It seemed that besides Xu Xu Damao, he really had no other way to make money.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the end, Sha Zhu bought some good gifts and walked toward the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When Sha Zhu peeked into the courtyard, everyone couldn't believe it!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It had been 10 years since Sha Zhu had been back. They thought Sha Zhu was already dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, they heard the mental hospital where Sha Zhu was locked up had been smashed during the special period and hadn't been operating since.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sha Zhu? Are you Sha Zhu? Is it really you? It’s been so many years, why did you suddenly come over?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Why have you aged so much? You’re only 40, right? Why do you look like you’re 60?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You, after you were locked in the mental hospital, your son Jia Jia Dongxu died! After your wife was released from prison, she stayed for quite a while before coming out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"They had a hard life. After Jia Jia Zhangshi picked up trash in the capital for a while, she could only go back to the countryside to rely on relatives. We don't know what her situation is now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Everyone thought Sha Zhu had come back to find Jia Jia Zhangshi, so they told him about Jia Jia Zhangshi and Jia Jia Dongxu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If Sha Zhu had really wanted to find Jia Jia Dongxu and Jia Jia Zhangshi after escaping from the mental hospital, he would have returned to the courtyard long ago!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The reason he came to the courtyard now was entirely to find Xu Xu Damao.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Fine, their deaths have nothing to do with me. I became like this because of them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That bastard Jia Jia Zhangshi stole so much money, and in a place like the rolling mill—why was she released so quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I wasn't sick at all, yet they locked me in a mental hospital for so long. This isn't fair!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When Sha Zhu heard the names of those two animals, he hated them to the bone and wanted to whip their corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sha Zhu, it’s been so many years, let’s not talk about that. Do you want to move back into the courtyard? Your sister He Yushui has made a fortune!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"There are so many restaurants in the capital that belong to He Yushui, and she’s bought so many houses!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Some houses aren't even locked and are used as warehouses. We don't know what’s inside, but no one in the courtyard dares to steal He Yushui’s things!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If you don't have money to rent a house, I think you should stay in one of the warehouses your sister rented for a few days!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No matter what, Sha Zhu had been their neighbor for so long, so the people in the courtyard were helping him find a way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When Sha Zhu heard that He Yushui had rented many houses in the courtyard, his heart warmed up. If he could get his house back, that would be great!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just as Sha Zhu was about to ask about his house, Xu Xu Damao and Yi Yi Zhonghai walked out, Xu Xu Damao holding a large stack of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yo, isn't this Sha Zhu? It’s been so many years. Why are you here today? Am I seeing a ghost? Aren't you in the mental hospital? How were you released?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Wow, what have you been through? Why have you aged so much? You look older than First Uncle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If I didn't know better, I’d think you were First Uncle’s older brother. Tired of being outside and want to come back to the courtyard to retire? You have no money and no wife—what can you do if you move back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Xu Damao looked for a long time before realizing this was his old enemy, Sha Zhu, and started mocking him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Xu Damao remembered Sha Zhu as his enemy, and being the vengeful person he was, he wouldn't forget it without some benefit!\u003C\u002Fp>",1635,"2026-06-16T18:44:27.665Z","2026-06-17T08:56:13.387Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","119270f43f493e0934603306b03cbc72cd4b8caa089251f2d01ff23588be107d","siheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-chapter-264","siheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-chapter-262",308,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-cover.jpg"]
