Siheyuan: If I marry Qin Huairu, I will become stronger by showing off.

Seeing Yan Bugui speechless after being scolded by Ding Xiu,

Liu Haizhong, Wang Juan, Xu Wude, and Liu Cuifang all felt relieved. This Yan Laoxi was just a bad-mouthed person who deserved to be criticized! !

At this time Sun Yuhong was not happy. Yan Bugui was her husband. It was like a slap in her face that her husband was kept silent by his wife.

Sun Yuhong said angrily, "Ding Xiu, you know how to talk, but you curse my family to go to jail on New Year's Day? How can you be so vicious! I'm not talking about you, but you've only had a few days of good life. You should also do some good deeds for your son!"

Ding Xiu was not someone who could be easily dealt with, so he would retort. Anyway, they were free anyway, so they might as well quarrel...

At this time, Liu Mancang waved his hand and said, "Stop arguing. We are all neighbors. What can't we talk about peacefully? Stop arguing. It's New Year's Day..."

He said this,

Ding Xiu really shut up, and so did Sun Yuhong. In fact, Wang Juan and Liu Cuifang, who were about to speak, also shut up.

The yard suddenly became quiet.

Everyone has become accustomed to this situation. Ever since Liu Mancang's family moved into this yard, the old man in the yard is no longer Yan Bugui.

But it’s Liu Mancang!

Because Liu Mancang is Xue Chunmei's father and Wu Youde's uncle.

Of course, this was at the beginning. Later, as Wu Youde brought a group of wives back to the capital, that is, the period of time when they came back from Kowloon and lived in the former Prince Gong Mansion, now Mantingfang Garden...

At that time, Wu Youde brought his family back to Nanluoguxiang to take a look.

Yan Bugui and others then realized that Wu Youde was no longer the same person he used to be. He was doing very well in Kowloon and had married more than a dozen concubines in one go!

Their thoughts are relatively simple, or they like to focus on the key points. To see how well a person is doing, just look at how many wives he has married...

The more you marry, the more powerful you are!

Look at the emperor, he has three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines. He is the emperor and he owns the entire country. Isn’t that awesome?

Therefore, when they saw Wu Youde bringing home more than a dozen wives, and doing it openly, Yan Bugui and others were instantly stunned, their heads were buzzing.

Among them, they naturally saw Xue Chunmei.

My former cousin is now my second wife...

Apart from being shocked, what remained was envy. Envy that Liu Mancang had such a blessed daughter. No wonder his family came to the city to help look after a house.

In the minds of Yan Bugui and others, Liu Mancang is basically the master of this courtyard. Therefore, Yan Bugui and others respect him very much, listen to his words, and rarely argue with him.

What if Liu Mancang gets upset and he makes a phone call to Kowloon, and Wu Youde sends someone back to drive them away? ?

They live in this house now, but they don’t have to pay rent. Where else can you find such a good thing?

"Brother Liu, will Youde come back for the New Year this year?" Yan Bugui asked in a low voice.

Hearing this,

Liu Mancang was startled and shook his head. "He didn't say anything. He probably won't come back."

"Too."

Liu Haizhong took over the conversation and said, "Today is New Year's Eve, it's time to come back."

"It's been about ten years since I last saw Youde, right?"

Yan Bugui sighed and said with some regret: "Time flies by so fast, and the years are like a knife that does not spare anyone..."

"Is Youde never going to return to the capital?" Xu Wude said.

Liu Haizhong said: "It's possible. I heard that the economy in foreign countries is very developed. Every household no longer rides bicycles, but drives cars. Every household also uses electric lights, telephones, and computers. It's very good!"

"Why wouldn't he come back? Youde has only been back for a few months." Liu Mancang said.

What?

Everyone was shocked and confused.

"just came back?"

"When did Youde come back? When did it happen? How come I didn't know about it?"

"Brother Liu, is Youde back?"

Liu Mancang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Last year, he came back twice!"

twice???

Everyone was shocked again.

“I came back twice last year???”

"Oh! Why doesn't Youde come back to check on us? Has he forgotten about us?"

"It's normal to forget. What's the point of remembering an old stick like you?"

"Last year...I came back twice...eh???"

Yan Bugui pondered and felt something was not right. He looked serious and said in a deep voice, "Brother Liu, last year was a time of great upheaval! Youde came back twice last year. Could it be that..."

Liu Mancang nodded and said, "The situation was special. Youde came back in a hurry. He left directly after attending the memorial service."

Liu Haizhong, Xu Wude and others listened to the two people's questions and answers, and they understood what was going on after a little thought.

last year……

Wouldn’t that be the year when the sky fell and the earth collapsed?

For a moment, the atmosphere in the yard suddenly became heavy and depressing!

After a while,

Yan Bugui sighed, "Youde has really achieved great success. He is even qualified to attend the memorial service... Tsk tsk tsk!"

"Yeah, I never expected that..."

"Brother Liu, I really envy you. If this happened in the past, with this ability, you would have been able to be called a ruler!"

"Brother Liu, how many concubines does Youde have now?"

Liu Mancang shook his head. "How would I know? We are so far apart and it is not convenient to contact each other. Why are you asking this, Old Yan?"

"hey-hey……"

Yan Bugui laughed and adjusted his glasses. "My daughter Zhaodi has grown up now. Youde liked her very much when she was little and often held her in his arms to play..."

Eh?

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Liu Haizhong, Xu Wude and others cursed Yan Bugui in their hearts for being shameless, saying that this man really has no bottom line!

In order to gain wealth and fame, one really doesn't care about his dignity anymore.

He actually wanted to offer his own daughter to be someone else's concubine...

"Shameless!!"

Xu Wood couldn't help but curse out loud.

Yan Bugui's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and he frowned and said, "Old Xu, what do you mean, did you drink horse urine this morning?"

Liu Haizhong said, "Old Yan, how can you say that? Youde must be over 40 this year, right? How old is Zhaodi this year? I can understand your thoughts.

Isn't it just wanting to climb up the social ladder and seek wealth and honor?

This is human nature, and I understand it, but have you considered your daughter Zhaodi's feelings when you do this?"

"That's right, Old Yan. I'm not saying anything bad about you, but what is Youde's current status? He has high standards now. He has money and power. What kind of girl can't he find?"

Liu Cuifang curled her lips and said with some disdain: "With a girl like your Zhaodi, I'm afraid that even if you send her away, she won't be appreciated by her even if she is virtuous. At best, she can only be a little maid..."

"Hey! Cuifang, isn't what you said a bit too fake?"

Sun Yuhong said coldly: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Old Liu, your family is full of males. Even if you want to give a daughter away, you can't! You can only worry! !

It's the same with your family, Lao Xu. Your daughter got married a long time ago and has become an old woman now. There is nothing to send her off, so you can only worry! !

You guys are just envious of me having Zhaodi, you are jealous of us, and you don’t want my family to live better than yours!”

The little eyes in the bangs blinked, feeling angry and annoyed.

That’s right, that’s what he thought in his heart, and Sun Yuhong was right about everything.

But can this be acknowledged?

Definitely not!

Xu Wude was the same. He felt even more jealous. His family was the only deserted one in the whole compound. Other families were bustling during the New Year, but his family was just the two of them, cold and lonely.

"Come on, Sun Yuhong, what is there in your family that I should be jealous of???"

"Are you jealous of your family eating steamed bread and dried radish every day?"

"To be honest, in this whole courtyard, the family I'm least jealous of is yours!!"

Sun Yuhong said coldly: "Old Xu, you are just being stubborn. Look at how many people are there in my family now? I have sons, daughters and grandchildren!

Where is your home?

What? ?

My son ran away, my daughter got married, and on this New Year's Day, I can't even get a card table together at home. Sigh...

I can't bear to say anything to you, Lao Xu. If it's not possible, you two should just remarry and adopt a child. After you two are buried, at least there will be someone to burn paper for you, right?"

"Fuck your mother!!!"

Xu Wude was immediately furious and cursed, "Sun Yuhong, you bastard, no one will burn paper for you in the future. Your family eats steamed bread every day, how can they live long? Go out and ask around, who in this alley eats steamed bread every day?"

Liu Cuifang followed up with a curse: "What nonsense! Who said my son ran away? My son went out to make a lot of money. You are just jealous!"

"Oh! Made a lot of money?"

Sun Yuhong sneered, "It's been more than ten years, and you still haven't made a lot of money? When will you be able to make a lot of money?"

Next life? ? Hahahaha~~~"

Liu Cuifang was speechless and her face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Stop arguing!!"

Liu Mancang spoke up again to stop them, "It's New Year's Day and we should be harmonious. Harmony brings wealth. Stop quarreling, or our neighbors will hear us and laugh at us!"

"Hey? Why is the horn outside gone?" Ding Xiu suddenly said.

Everyone was stunned and listened carefully, and found that it was true.

"Car! Nice little car!!"

"Come out and see... there are so many cars... so many cars..."

"Dad! Mom! Come and see!"

At this time, a crisp shout came from the door, followed by a little boy and a little girl running into the yard with cheerful steps.

This little boy and girl are both from Yan Bugui's family, and are the children of his eldest son Yan Jiecheng.

Hearing their shouts, everyone in the yard was a little surprised.

"What car? Where is it?"

"There's a car outside? Does anyone know whose it is?"

"It's right at our door. I don't know whose house it is, but I heard it at the gate of our yard. It seems like it's coming to our house."

"There are so many cars, five of them! They are all black, and they are so beautiful. There are so many people outside, grandpa and grandma, you should go and have a look too..."

……

After hearing what the two little guys said.

Hula la la...

Suddenly everyone in the yard could no longer sit still and stood up at once.

"Come on, go on, go out and take a look!"

"Could it be that Youde has returned? Haha, this is really like speaking of the devil!"

"I guess it must be Youde. Didn't you hear the two kids say that there were five cars? Only Youde could have put up such a big show. Who else is so rich?"

"Brother Liu, your son-in-law is back, hurry back and prepare the banquet, why are you still eating臊子面 for lunch!"

"Guangtian, Guangfu, come out quickly, your brother Wu is back, come out to greet him, hurry up!!!"

The yard was instantly in chaos, with people shouting and walking out.

A large group of people rushed towards the door.

……

Regarding what happened back then,

Xu Damao did not forget. Not only that, he still remembered it clearly.

Back then, everyone mocked him and looked down upon him, including his parents, so even though he hadn't been back for more than ten years, he was now at his doorstep.

He also didn't want to go in.

He has to wait for someone to come out to greet him!

He was essentially driven out back then, and now he wants everyone to welcome him back!

The gate was very busy at this moment, with five black cars lined up in a row.

Five sturdy men in black suits, five pretty girls in satin jackets, who looked like maids.

There were also three wealthy ladies who were dressed in gold, silver and mink, and were gorgeously dressed, as well as three half-grown children who were well-dressed.

Further out, there were people from the alley who had come to watch the fun. They surrounded the alley in three layers, inside and outside, craning their necks and standing on tiptoe to look inside.

So noisy!

Everyone was discussing, who on earth was coming?

Who are you here for?

"Why doesn't the person in that car get out? Is the person sitting in that car the Wenquxing? What's his name?"

"Wu Youde!"

"Is it really him? Oh, I finally met the real person today. I have often heard his name since I was a child, and my ears are almost calloused..."

"He's really made it big. Look at these cars. They look so luxurious and impressive. Even the emperors in the past weren't this rich!"

"Who are those beautiful ladies? Are they all the wives of Wenquxing?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down. Are you smart or what?"

"Now the law prohibits taking concubines, so how can he still marry so many women? Isn't this illegal?"

"I just said you were smart and now you're acting stupid. Open your eyes and look at the license plate on the car. Do you see it? There are foreign words on it. What does that mean?"

"do not know……"

"You are so stupid! This means that Wu Youde has gone abroad. Overseas, people don't care about these things. As long as you have money, you can marry as many wives as you want. It's up to you!"

"Oh... So that's how it is! So, does that mean Wu Youde is a foreigner now?"

"This...this..."

"Nonsense! What foreigner? Wenquxing is from China. Wu Youde is also Chinese. He just lives abroad now!"

"Oh...then why doesn't he get out of the car? He's just dawdling here. I'm waiting to see what he looks like!"

"Who knows? Why don't you go over and ask?"

While everyone was discussing,

Yan Bugui, Sun Yuhong, Liu Haizhong, Xu Wude, Wang Juan, Liu Cuifang, Liu Mancang, Ding Xiu, Zhou Dali and others rushed out from the yard.
