Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

Turning back to a place with fewer people, Xiao Weiguo put the small white jade bowl away, took out his bicycle, got on his 28-inch bicycle and headed straight for the slum.

"Jingru, you look really good in this kind of clothes since you are fair-skinned."

"Really, Sister Xiao'e, I have never worn such brightly colored clothes, except on my wedding day!"

In Xu Damao's house, two women were trying on clothes in front of the wardrobe. Lou Xiao'e liked Qin Jingru's personality very much, and Qin Jingru also liked Lou Xiao'e's straightforwardness. The two chatted in the yard for a while and became good sisters.

"Jingru, why did you marry Xiao Weiguo? He looks so dishonest and sneaky."

While talking about clothes, Lou Xiao'e suddenly mentioned Xiao Weiguo, which made Qin Jingru a little puzzled.

"No, Weiguo is obviously a good person. The one who is sneaky and cunning should be...Xu Damao!"

The two smiled at each other, and each felt that their own men were pretty good.

In the front yard, the Yan family is preparing for Yan Jiecheng's wedding. Although Xiao Weiguo and Xu Damao have made a good start, it does not affect the Yan family's stinginess at all.

If you can't afford it, just don't do it.

"Hey, Old Yan, if we do this, will people from the hospital still come to give us gifts?"

The third aunt had a worried look on her face. She didn't want to spend money to get things done, but she also wanted to accept gifts.

Yan Fugui pushed his glasses and counted the last melon seed.

"Xiao Weiguo and Xu Damao spent so much money on the banquet but didn't receive many gifts. They were just some cloth and corn flour. It's a big loss just thinking about it."

The three aunts thought about it and realized that it was true. The effort was not proportional to the income, and their family could not do it.

So the family prepared a plate of peanuts and melon seeds, as well as some tea and candy.

When Xiao Weiguo returned to the courtyard, it was already late. Every family had prepared dinner and the courtyard was filled with the bustling life.

"Hey, Section Chief Xiao is back."

Yan Fugui, who was in the house, just saw a figure coming in at the door and rushed out. When he saw a piece of meat hanging on the car, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Uncle, you should call me Weiguo. As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Calling me Section Chief is a bit strange."

Yan Fugui laughed softly, his eyes fixed.

Xiao Weiguo naturally knew what the old guy was thinking, but it was impossible to get it for free.

"See you later, Third Master!"

The main attack caught Xiao Weiguo off guard. After saying this, Xiao Weiguo pushed the car forward. In a hurry, Yan Fugui actually pulled the back seat of the car to stop him.

"Weiguo, since distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, shouldn't you also congratulate Jie Cheng on her wedding tomorrow?"

Xiao Weiguo snorted and laughed, "Of course, I would like to wish Brother Jie Cheng a happy baby soon!"

Yan Fugui grinned, "You are the highest official in this court anyway. Words are meaningless. Why don't you do something practical?"

“Affordable?”

The two of them simultaneously set their eyes on the piece of meat on the car.

"Uncle, I'm waiting for the feast tomorrow. By the way, Jingru is pregnant. As an elder, shouldn't you show some respect?"

Yan Fugui was instantly furious when he heard this. What do you mean by "I'm showing some appreciation"? You're so rich, why do you need to come to me? Besides, we are not related to each other, so why should I show some appreciation for you for no reason?

"Well... you know my family's situation. We emptied our coffin money just to get married..."

"Hey, we are all the same. I have nothing to eat in order to feed my son. I have to eat this piece of meat for a month, otherwise I will lose a lot."

After saying that, Xiao Weiguo pushed the cart straight into the yard, and Yan Fugui no longer stopped him.

But he still kept mumbling, "Humph, a month is too little. First, roast the fat into oil, and then add more salt to the lean meat. It will last at least half a year!"

After watching Xiao Weiguo leave, Yan Fugui returned home disappointed.

Ever since Xiao Weiguo moved into this compound, he had been standing guard at the door every day, watching him take good things home every day, but he never succeeded once.

I can only watch but can't get it, and I feel itchy inside.

When we passed the Jia family's house in the middle courtyard, I heard grandma's voice saying, "I want to eat meat."

Then the door was kicked open with a bang, and the aura of Five Million walked out.

Jia Zhang took the lead, followed closely by Bang Geng, and the grandparents and grandchildren went out of the door in a threatening manner.

After seeing Xiao Weiguo, they all glanced at him at the same time.

"Jingru, let's have braised pork tonight. Use rock sugar to make the color, and roast the fat for a little longer. I want to eat the greasy residue!"

As he said this, he picked up the pork belly and put it to his mouth and smelled it.

Oh my god, this smell of blood.

Bang!

"Woo woo, my head hurts so much, grandma, save me, Xiao Weiguo is greedy for me!"

Banggeng was so busy looking at the piece of meat in Xiao Weiguo's hand that his forehead hit the tree with a bang. Now he was crying with his hands covering his forehead.

Xiao Weiguo smiled awkwardly and ignored them and went straight to the courtyard.

Jia Zhang was so distressed that she held Bang Geng's head and blew and rubbed it.

"Don't cry, my dear grandson. That little bastard Xiao Weiguo is nothing. Let's go to Grandpa's house and eat some white flour buns."

When he heard that there were white flour buns, Banggeng stopped crying, wiped away his tears, and jumped to Yi Zhonghai's house.

Hearing the noise at the door, Yi Zhonghai put down his bowl and chopsticks, his heart beating fast.

During this period, he could neither hide nor act arrogantly. Jia Zhang was like a dog-skin plaster, sticking to him in the factory and even when he returned to the compound.

The aunt put away one of the two remaining white steamed buns. She wanted to give it to the child, but Jia Zhang really didn't want to.

She was also aware of the rumors in the hospital, and even if she couldn't have children, she didn't want to be insulted like that.

"Oh my goodness, Banggeng insists on eating white steamed buns, but you know the situation in my family, we only eat steamed buns one day and the next, and the child is growing up, so I can't do anything about it. And Dongxu, he..."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hands quickly. Jia Dongxu alone was already driving him crazy, and you’re coming again?

"Sister-in-law, it's not easy for any family these days. Although there are only two of us in our family, we still have to save some money for retirement. Here is another white steamed bun, please take it. Don't come to my place again in the future."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai stood up and prepared to leave, but Jia Zhangshi could not stand this. It was clear that he was going to abandon her!

"Yi Zhonghai, what do you mean by this? When Dongxu was your apprentice, you served him like a father. Why are you giving up now that Dongxu is disabled?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the aunt put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up and walked out, fearing that she would accidentally faint from anger again, and the medical expenses of going to the hospital would not be worth it.

Seeing the lady leave, Jia Zhang took a step forward, but Yi Zhonghai instinctively took a step back.

It's not that I'm afraid of him, it's the evil nature of the Jia family. It's best not to get involved with them, because if you get involved, you can't escape.

"Old Yi, Dongxu was born in the cold winter, you still remember!"

What the hell?

Yi Zhonghai's face was filled with surprise. When was she born...and what does it have to do with me?

"What do you mean, sister-in-law?"

Jia Zhang stepped forward, picked up the white flour bun, and motioned for Banggeng to go out and eat. Then there were only two people left in the room.
