Siheyuan: I’m Jia Zhangshi’s Nephew

What? You’re Jia Zhangshi’s nephew? Your name is Zhang Aiguo?

That’s right, First Uncle, Second Uncle, Third Uncle. I’m Zhang Aiguo, the son of Zhang Youcai, the elder brother of Jia Zhangshi, whose maiden name is Zhang Xiaohua. That makes Zhang Xiaohua, or Jia Zhangshi, my own dear aunt.

My dad told me that back then, Zhang Xiaohua stole money from the family and ran off with that Jia Kailin. Later, we heard they’d come to the capital. It made my grandparents so sick they never got out of bed, and they passed away not long afterward.

Ever since my aunt Zhang Xiaohua ran off with the money, she hadn’t returned to Zhang Family Village in Xishan for more than twenty years.

Later, a villager told us they’d seen Zhang Xiaohua in the capital, living in a courtyard house at No. 95, South Gong and Drum Lane. Now she’s a city dweller.
