Siheyuan: Starting from 1952

Jia Dongxu has a special kind of pride in his bones.

He admitted that he lost the bet!

Go ask Lu Juemin for money?

He can't afford to lose this person!

So he wiped off Jia Zhang's hand and said, "Mom, stop messing around. I wasn't cheated of money. I really lost the bet."

"Why are you so honest, kid?"

Jia Zhang said speechlessly: "No matter whether you really lost or not, getting your money back is the most important thing!"

"Do you want your mother to starve for the next two months?"

"How can we starve to death..." Jia Dongxu retorted: "Isn't there still half of the monthly salary... If you save a little... it should be enough, right?"

"Bullshit!" Jia Zhang cursed, "Jia Dongxu, you really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, don't you? Do you know how much a pound of rice costs now?"

"I……"

Jia Dongxu wanted to say something else, but at this time Yi Zhonghai walked to the opposite side of Jia Zhang and said, "Sister Zhang, please don't make things difficult for Dongxu. He has tried very hard. There is nothing he can do about losing money!"

"How about this? I'll give you five dollars a month. That should be enough for you to live on, right?"

"Really?"

Hearing Yi Zhonghai say this, Jia Zhang's expression immediately turned from gloomy to bright, "Old Yi, once you say something, it's already been said, you can't go back on your word, right?"

"Why should I regret this?" Yi Zhonghai smiled, "Dongxu is my apprentice, so it's only natural for me to help him."

this moment.

There seemed to be a certain kind of human radiance appearing on Yi Zhonghai's body.

The people present exclaimed in admiration:

"Uncle Yi is such a good man!"

"Uncle Yi has always been very kind. Who among us living in this courtyard has not received Uncle Yi's kindness?"

"That's true..."

Listening to the praises from the people in the yard, Yi Zhonghai felt as if he were bathed in spring breeze.

These ten dollars are really worth it!

At this moment, Jia Dongxu had tears in his eyes and was extremely grateful.

Yi Zhonghai at this moment was just like his father whose memory was very vague.

Great and noble.

Even Yi Zhonghai is now letting himself die.

He is willing to do both.

He walked up to Yi Zhonghai and said sincerely: "Thank you, Master. Thank you so much!"

"Little things!"

Yi Zhonghai raised his hand and patted Jia Dongxu on the shoulder, "Dongxu, remember this lesson, and don't let your mother worry so much again!"

"..."

……

Half a month has passed since I last bought cloth to make clothes.

The clothes should be ready.

So after Lu Juemin came back from hunting that day, he went to Zhengyang Gate and came to Chen Xueru's silk shop.

When I saw Chen Xueru again, she was still wearing her bright red cheongsam.

But she doesn't seem to be in good condition.

He looked listless and even had tear marks at the corners of his eyes.

After Chen Xueru saw Lu Juemin enter the store, she wiped her eyes and said, "Wait a moment, little brother. I'll go get you some clothes."

"Ok."

Lu Juemin nodded.

He was very curious now.

I wonder what happened to Chen Xueru that could make such a carefree woman become like this.

Just as he was waiting for Chen Xueru to come out with the clothes, a young man wearing a long gown, a slicked-back hair, and glasses walked into the store and shouted, "Chen Xueru, come out!"

"What are you yelling about?"

Chen Xueru walked out of the store, stared at the young man and said angrily: "I said Hou Deqiang, are you so anxious?"

Are you waiting for a long time?

Lu Juemin was shocked when he heard the name.

When Chen Xueru appeared in the TV series, there was a child named Hou Kui, but the child's father was nowhere to be found.

Could it be that... the young man in front of me named Hou Deqiang is Hou Kui's father?

In other words, his Chen Xueru’s first husband?

He listened attentively to the conversation between the two.

"It's not me who's anxious, it's your father who's anxious." Hou Deqiang said innocently, "Xue Ru, you don't want your father to be sad, do you?"

"Alright, alright!" Chen Xueru said impatiently, "Go back first. I'll get married when I've made up my mind!"

"How long do you want to think about it?"

"It's my business how long I think about it. If you're in such a hurry, you can just marry someone else. With your status as the eldest son of the Hou family, there should be a lot of people who want to marry you, right?"

"You... okay..." Hou Deqiang compromised: "Xue Ru, I'll give you a few more days to think about it!"

After saying this, Hou Deqiang turned around and left the store.

After waiting for Deqiang to leave, Chen Xueru walked up to Lu Juemin, handed him the clothes and said with a wry smile: "Sorry, little brother, I made you laugh."

"It's okay."

Lu Juemin shrugged, took the clothes, spread them out and looked at them carefully.

not bad.

There are no problems with stitching, sewing, cutting, etc.

"If it doesn't fit, just bring the clothes back and alter them." Chen Xueru said.

"Okay, thank you, Boss Chen."

Lu Juemin folded the clothes again, carefully put them into the cloth bag he was carrying, and then prepared to leave.

But his nosy heart finally made him stop.

He turned around and said, "Boss Chen, don't blame me for being nosy."

"If possible, you'd better not marry that man just now."

"Huh?" Chen Xueru asked in surprise, "Why?"

"Because... that guy is not a good person!"

Lu Juemin could only say this vaguely.

In the TV series, Chen Xueru was raped by her first husband, Hou Deqiang, who stole all her money.

Finally he ran to the United States to live a carefree life.

For Chen Xueru to marry such a man would be like jumping into a fire pit.

After hearing Lu Juemin's reason, Chen Xueru burst out laughing: "Hey, little brother, you can tell that he is not a good person just by staying in my shop for three minutes?"

"If he's not the good man, then are you?"

"Me?" Lu Juemin narrowed his eyes, "I'm probably not a good person either."

Lu Juemin is still self-aware of this.

He really didn't think he was a good person.

And there's no point in being a good person.

Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years.

of course.

He also has his own bottom line, and he will never do anything that is against the law.

When he saw Qiang doing such a shameless thing, he was even more disdainful of doing it.

Lu Juemin continued, "But I'm not going to marry you, so it doesn't matter whether I'm your good man or not, right?"

"That's right."

Chen Xueru put a finger on her chin, and after a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Brother, tell me, why do you feel that Hou Deqiang is not a good person after just spending three minutes with him?"

"Feel it."

Lu Juemin made up a story: "You women have the so-called sixth sense, and we men have it too!"

“I feel…”

Chen Xueru half smiled and thought for a long time.

Finally, her eyes turned and locked onto Lu Juemin, and she said in a shy tone: "Well, then I will trust your feelings for once and not marry Hou Deqiang for the time being."
