Siheyuan: Rebirth of Shazhu, Many Children and Blessings

"Ugh."

When talking about this, Yu Li began to sigh.

"I originally thought that Yan Jiecheng's family was just thrifty, but I didn't expect that they were so stingy by nature."

"Brother Zhuzi should know best what it was like to hold a wedding banquet on the wedding day.

If it weren't for his skills, I don't know what would have happened that day."

Yu Li looked at Lou Xiao'e and complained, "That's fine. At least nothing serious happened that day, so I just put up with it.

But when I returned home today, Yan Jiecheng found that he had not prepared everything.

The cigarettes and alcohol were of the worst kind, and the sugar was leftover from a previous wedding banquet. There was no tea at home, so he planned to buy the worst loose tea on the way back.

In the end, I couldn’t stand it anymore and bought the good stuff with my own money. ”

"Ah?" Lou Xiao'e was quite surprised. She originally thought that as a teacher, the Third Uncle should be more careful about such things.

"Yeah, I was surprised myself." Yu Li laughed sarcastically, "At first I saw that Yan Jiecheng's father was a teacher, so he should be very particular about etiquette. I didn't expect that he would be reluctant to give up such things."

"I originally thought I married into a more respectable family, but who knows."

"But I heard from Brother Zhu that Yan Jiecheng's monthly salary is not bad, it seems to be thirty-five and a half yuan."

"That's a lot." Yu Li nodded, "Otherwise I would have thought he was quite good."

"His salary is not much lower than Brother Zhu's. Logically, he should be able to afford these things, right?" Lou Xiao'e was puzzled.

"Haha, he gave all his money to his father." Yu Li sneered, "So now whatever he buys depends on his father's mood."

"All handed in?"

"Of course not." Yu Li nodded. "If you go to his father's house for dinner, you have to pay for food. His father owns the house, so he has to pay for accommodation. So he has to pay all his monthly salary."

"So how do you cover your daily expenses?"

"Just use my money." Yu Li regretted it very much now. She wanted to live a good life after getting married, but now she had to pay with her own money.

Lou Xiao'e also had an indescribable look on her face. "I heard that you have all moved out. Have you ever thought about cooking for yourself?"

"We both have to go to work, and it's troublesome to cook for just two of us after get off work. Anyway, the money has been paid, so he thinks it's better to eat at home, and there will be more dishes for more people."

"But living with elders definitely doesn't allow you to do as you please." This is all Lou Xiao'e could do to comfort her.

"Brother Zhu and I seem to be living such a carefree life, it's because it's just the two of us."

"And at least you can save some money this way. We don't have any money left over from Zhu Ge's monthly salary now."

"But Brother Zhuzi can earn extra money." Yu Li said, "We can only live on that little salary."

"This extra income only comes a few times a month, and it only saves money on one or two meals."

At this time, He Yuzhu packed up the things he brought back, then cut out a plate of apples and took over the conversation.

Lou Xiao'e smiled, obviously understanding that He Yuzhu didn't intend to say more to Yu Li.

"Sister Yu Li, try this apple quickly, it's very sweet." Lou Xiao'e took the lead in picking up a piece, then pushed the plate in front of Yu Li.

"Thank you Sister Xiao'e." Yu Li picked up a piece of apple and found it was sweet and delicious. She knew it was not of the same grade as ordinary apples.

But after eating one piece, Yu Li felt embarrassed to eat more. "Sister Xiao'e, do you like reading books?"

"Well, I don't have much to do every day, so I can only read some books to kill some time."

"I do have some books here, and I think they're pretty good. If Sister Xiao'e is interested, I'll bring them to you next time I go back to my parents' home."

Yu Li still understood the principle of catering to the interests of the person when making friends. It just so happened that she liked to read some novels in her free time. She had secretly saved money to buy them before, so she still had a few at home.

She had seen the books in Lou Xiao'e's hands when she came here before. The variety seemed quite rich, so she thought she would like them.

"Then I would like to thank Sister Yu Li first." As expected, Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up when she heard the word "book".

There are not many people in this hospital who share the same interests and hobbies as her, and even if she wants to find someone to talk to about this, she can't find anyone.

I didn’t expect that Yu Li would also read some casual books. I think the two of us should be able to find some common topics later.

“You’re welcome.” Yu Li smiled and waved her hand. “I don’t have much time to read books right now. It’s just sitting there anyway.”

"You have to work every day, so you have less time to read."

......

The two chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Yu Li smiled at Lou Xiaoe.

"Sister Xiao'e, after talking to you, I feel much better. I don't know anyone in this hospital. Can I come and chat with you in the future?"

"Of course, I'm usually alone at home and there's no one to chat with me." Lou Xiao'e nodded with a smile.

"It's getting late. I won't bother you any longer. You should go to bed early too." Yu Li stood up.

"Okay, take care." Lou Xiao'e also stood up to see him off.

After Deng Li left, Lou Xiao'e looked at He Yuzhu and sighed, "Brother Zhu, this Third Uncle's family is too much."

"It's indeed a bit excessive, but this is someone else's business, so we can't say too much."

"That's true." Lou Xiao'e sighed and nodded. She couldn't help much.

Then she said to He Yuzhu: "This sister Yu Li and Yu Haitang are sisters, but their personalities are very different."

"That's normal." He Yuzhu said with a smile: "Yu Li is the eldest sister in the family and has a calmer personality, while Yu Haitang is the youngest in the family. She has been spoiled by her family since she was a child, so she must be more lively."

"That's true." Lou Xiao'e nodded.

"I envy you for growing up with brothers and sisters."

"Although I also have a half-brother, we have been separated since childhood and rarely see each other, so we are almost like strangers."

"You actually have a half-brother?" Although He Yuzhu already knew about this, he pretended to be surprised.

"I've never heard you mention this before."

"Because we haven't seen each other for many years, and we don't keep in touch. And my dad didn't even tell him about our marriage, so I didn't think about it."
