Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

Qin Huairu didn't know why she felt so lost. She had long been hoping to avoid Sha Zhu's entanglement and didn't want to see Sha Zhu's annoying face.

Because of him, she suffered unprovoked misfortune and was often pointed at by people inside and outside the courtyard. She was also given the cold shoulder by her own man. Even though she did nothing wrong, her reputation was seriously damaged.

Qin Huairu could hear the neighbors in the yard talking loudly while she was in the house, about how grand Sha Zhu's wedding was, how beautiful the bride was, and how they were a perfect match.

These words constantly irritated Qin Huairu, and her heart felt like it was being pricked by needles, causing constant pain.

At this moment, Qin Huairu seemed to feel that she had lost something in her life and her fate had changed invisibly.

Jia Dongxu's shout at the door brought Qin Huairu back to her senses.

"Huai Ru, come out and meet the bride. The banquet will start soon."

"Okay, Dongxu, I'll be right out."

Qin Huairu got off the kang, stood up and walked to the mirror. Looking at herself in the mirror, she found that she was still as beautiful and charming as ever. She didn't know what she was thinking.

After hesitating for a while, Qin Huairu sat in front of the mirror and began to dress herself up. She curved her eyebrows, put on red lipstick, and re-styled her hair.

He changed into clean clothes, picked up Xiaodang and walked out of the Jia family's gate.

in the afternoon

With a burst of firecrackers, He Yuzhu's wedding officially began. Weddings in that era were very simple. Liu Wengong represented the groom's parents and sat at the top with Miao Yufeng's mother.

He said a few auspicious words and urged the two to live a down-to-earth life in the future.

The neighbors at the scene kept cheering and shouting, the sound of children chattering and running around in the middle yard could be heard from time to time, and small firecrackers could be heard.

Mixed with the screams of children.

Zhang Minghui brought Doudou with him a gift of three yuan, and took Doudou to the table. Most of the young people had three yuan or two yuan.

It’s different for older people, most of them are Sanyuan.

The one who gave the most gifts in the courtyard was the second uncle. So many people were watching! He couldn't afford to lose face. He gave a gift of ten yuan.

Yan Fugui muttered that his salary was not much, so he just gave the gift of two yuan. He not only brought his entire family, young and old, but also called back Yan Jiecheng, who was married outside.

It has been more than a year since Yan Jiecheng moved out of the courtyard and lived separately from Yan Fugui. At first, Yan Fugui refused to agree to the separation and he even wanted Yan Jiecheng to take care of him in his old age!

Yan Jiecheng asked a soul-searching question.

"Dad, can we not separate the family? Our courtyard has such a bad reputation. If I don't set up my own household and move out, I still won't be able to get a job if my employer comes to investigate."

After a long communication, the father and son finally agreed to let Yan Jiecheng live alone, but Yan Jiecheng signed and sealed a contract with his father, promising to take care of him and see him to the end of his life.

After the family split up, Yan Jiecheng moved out and worked as a temporary worker. Finally, he waited for an opportunity. Someone wanted to sell his workstation. An old man with no children retired.

He wants to sell his warehouse workstation and return to his hometown to retire. The price is 700 yuan.

When Yan Jiecheng learned the news at that time, he was so happy that he went crazy. He finally got the chance. Now in the city, jobs are assigned to specific positions and the management is very strict.

However, there are countermeasures for every policy. Some people who are approaching retirement and cannot find a successor want to sell their jobs and cash out.

He went home and signed a contract with his father, promising to use his ten years' salary after being converted to a regular employee to repay Yan Fugui every month until the money was paid off.

Even so, Yan Fugui didn't want to pay the money. He wanted to wait for the street office to arrange a free job for his son. Then he wouldn't have to spend any money, wouldn't that save him some money?

Yan Jiecheng saw through Yan Fugui's thoughts. He knew that if he didn't give his father some benefits, his father would definitely not pay the money, so he opened his mouth and spoke.

"Dad, when I pay you back, won't I have to take care of your parents in their old age? I'll give you money every month to supplement your household expenses. Now that I'm working, you can also reduce the burden, right?"

After several days of careful consideration, Yan Fugui finally gave in, thinking that since he was his eldest son, it would be a joke if he didn't have a formal job and couldn't get married.

After Yan Jiecheng bought a job, he worked as an apprentice. Although he earned barely enough to spend, it was a different story now that he had a job.

The matchmaker frequently came to Yan Jiecheng's house and introduced him to a girl from an ordinary family. There was a temporary job, and according to Yan Jiecheng's conditions, it would be permanent after three years.

It won't be a problem to find a formal job by then.

But Yan Jiecheng was a little tired. The life in and outside the hospital in recent years had put a lot of pressure on Yan Jiecheng. He wanted to start a family and find someone to help share the burden. He didn't want to live such a hard life anymore.

He was still a long way from being officially employed, and he really didn't want to wait any longer. Not to mention, Yan Jiecheng didn't hide anything and told the girl everything about himself.

The other party was quite reasonable. After some consideration, he and Yan Jiecheng got married in a hurry. They didn't have a wedding banquet, but simply got a marriage certificate and got married.

.....

Zhang Minghui looked at the table. Apart from the braised pork, there were no other meat dishes. They were all vegetarian. But just by smelling the food, he knew that the dish was well cooked.

It is very rare to have a meat dish at a wedding banquet these days. Didn’t you see that the relatives from Miao Village all had smiles on their faces and nodded from time to time.

This shows that they are very satisfied with the wedding held by Sha Zhu.

Apart from his "ugly" appearance, there was nothing else to complain about. As for his bad temper, the people in Miaojiazhuang said.

"That's nothing. I'll beat you a few more times to see if you still have a bad temper."

After the meal started, Zhang Minghui, Xu Damao and other young people sat at the same table. When Sha Zhu came to this table, he held the bride's hand and never let go.

The Wang Lizhu brothers, especially Xu Damao, saw their eyes wide open, gnashed their teeth, and muttered indignantly.

"Damn it, a flower stuck in cow dung, what kind of fate does this thief have!"

Seeing Xu Damao so angry, He Yuzhu suddenly became proud and spoke with a smile.

"Wife, this guy is Xu Damao, a projectionist at the Red Star Steel Mill. He has a bad reputation and loves to flirt with other women, so he has never been able to find a wife."

When Sha Zhu introduced Xu Damao as the projectionist, Xu Damao stood up proudly. He was one of the eight major members. Sha Zhu was quite tactful and knew how to introduce himself solemnly.

When he heard what Sha Zhu said next, his face turned green and he cursed in his heart.

"You bastard, you fooled me in front of your wife. I will never let you go."

Xu Damao was neither standing nor sitting, and he half-bent his waist in embarrassment. It was Wang Lizhu next to him who pulled him aside and stopped him from continuing to embarrass himself.
