Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

"Dongxu, why are you lying here alone? Are you tired? Or are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Qin Huairu saw her husband lying there after he came back, probably because he was in a bad mood, so she asked with concern.

"No, it happened this morning. I was criticized by others in the factory. Oh...!"

"Hey! What do you think it is? The mouth is on the other person's body, why do you care what he says? Come on, get up and eat."

Seeing that Jia Dongxu was a little depressed, Qin Huairu comforted him.

After listening to Qin Huairu's words and looking at his wife's beautiful face, Jia Dongxu's mood improved a little. He then stretched out his hands and said jokingly.

"Come on, give me a hand, and I'll go eat."

Seeing Jia Dongxu's serious look, Qin Huairu stretched out her hands and held Jia Dongxu's hands without saying a word. Jia Dongxu exerted a little force and the two of them hugged each other in an instant.

Jia Dongxu was secretly doing something bad, touching Qin Huairu all over her. Qin Huairu played hard to get and begged for mercy with a smile. The temperature in the room instantly rose. Jia Zhang, who was outside the room, heard the noise and called Qin Huairu shameless.

After the two of them played around for a while, Jia Dongxu whispered a few words into Qin Huairu's ear, and Qin Huairu blushed and nodded. Then the two of them went out to eat.

After dinner, when Qin Huairu had finished cleaning up, Jia Dongxu pulled her into the room to play games.

Because the house was too small, Jia Zhang was sent away for a walk with her grandson. Jia Zhang was so angry that he cursed behind his back, saying that the man had forgotten his mother after getting married.

……

The next morning, when it was just light, Sun Zhengguo, who had gotten up early to practice martial arts, found that Yi Zhonghai had secretly left the compound. Sun Zhengguo had no interest in Yi Zhonghai and continued to practice martial arts.

Why did Yi Zhonghai run out so early in the morning?

The main reason was that he was afraid of being embarrassed, and the second was that he wanted to quickly bring Auntie back home. Ever since the two had quarreled, Auntie went back to her parents' home. Only then did Yi Zhonghai realize that it really is not possible to have no woman at home.

Yi Zhonghai left the compound and took a walk outside since it was still dark.

I waited until dawn before I found a bun shop. After eating two buns and a bowl of soy milk, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some gifts and weighed some meat. Then I went to the station to catch the bus.

The aunt's parents' home was dozens of miles away from the capital. By the time the car finally arrived, it was almost noon.

After getting off the car, Yi Zhonghai stood there and rested for ten minutes before he calmed down and then rushed to the village.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Yi Zhonghai met an acquaintance, his wife's cousin Zhou Liucheng.

"Oh! My brother-in-law is here. You are such a busy man! Sister Xiulian was talking about you a few days ago. Come on, come to my house and have a seat."

Zhou Liucheng met Yi Zhonghai and greeted him politely.

"Yes, Brother Liu Cheng! I won't go today. I have to go to your sister Xiulian's house first. I will visit you another day."

When Zhou Liucheng heard what Yi Zhonghai said, his eyes narrowed with smiles. Life was really too poor these days. When a rich city dweller like Yi Zhonghai came to visit, he would definitely bring a lot of things with him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Liucheng quickly spoke politely.

"Then I'll wait for my brother-in-law to come over at home. Don't forget to bring Sister Xiulian with you."

"Okay, definitely."

After saying goodbye to Zhou Liucheng, Yi Zhonghai arrived at his daughter-in-law's parents' home.

The eldest aunt's maiden name was Zhou. Her parents died before the liberation. She has two brothers in the family, the eldest Zhou Liucai and the second Zhou Liuyou. Both of them have married and have children. This time, Yi Zhonghai came to the eldest family.

"Is anyone home?"

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he didn't hesitate and pushed the door open.

"Who is it? Here we come."

A woman's voice came from inside the door, and before she could open it, the door was pushed open.

"It's my brother-in-law. Come in and sit down. I'll go call my sister."

The person who came was the eldest brother's wife Yuzhi. After seeing Yi Zhonghai, she spoke politely.

"It's my sister-in-law! Liucai is not at home?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

"Liu Cai has gone to the field and will be back soon. Brother-in-law, you come in first."

After Yuzhi finished speaking, she shouted.

"Sister, my brother-in-law is here."

An old lady in the house was helping to make shoes. When she heard Yi Zhonghai coming, she hurried out.

After the two met, the aunt's anger subsided a lot when she saw Yi Zhonghai's tired appearance.

"Xiu Lian, are you okay here?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward, Yi Zhonghai spoke first.

The aunt nodded and said.

"Come in, didn't I tell you to wait until I've thought it over before you speak?"

"Xiu Lian, I can't live without you! You don't know, just yesterday, I locked myself in the room for a whole day. I didn't eat a single bite of food that day. I wanted to die."

Yi Zhonghai was not afraid of being embarrassed, because his wife would find out sooner or later anyway.

As for my brother's wife next to me, what can they do if they know about it? You know, this is a rural area, and people apply fertilizers on the fields every day. Everyone has feces on their bodies, and no one cares at all.

When the aunt heard what Yi Zhonghai said, she felt a pain in her heart. She knew Yi Zhonghai well. If nothing serious happened, Yi Zhonghai would not do this. She asked hurriedly.

"What's going on? Tell me quickly."

Yi Zhonghai looked at his wife and said embarrassedly.

"Xiu Lian, I told you not to laugh."

"Just tell me. Why am I laughing at you?"

An aunt said anxiously.

So Yi Zhonghai told the whole story in detail, without missing a word.

When the aunt heard this, she was very angry.

"The Jia family is too bullying. I will settle the score with them when I return."

The sister-in-law next to him didn't take it seriously, thinking, "What's the big deal? Is it that serious? You're still trying to kill yourself."

Actually, it’s not her fault that she thinks this way, it’s because she doesn’t understand Yi Zhonghai.

People like Yi Zhonghai are stubborn and self-righteous. The thing they value most in their lives is face. To put it bluntly, they would rather starve to death than lose face.

Next, his sister-in-law went to cook, while Yi Zhonghai chatted with the aunt.

At noon, Zhou Liucai came back from the fields to eat. When he saw his brother-in-law, the two of them exchanged greetings again until the meal started.

After finishing her meal, Auntie started to pack up. After hearing what happened to Yi Zhonghai, she didn't want to stay any longer and wanted to go back immediately to settle accounts with Jia Zhang.

Seeing his sister packing her clothes, Zhou Liucai did not try to keep her, but just persuaded her with a few words, asking her to go back and live a good life with her brother-in-law.

On the way back, Yi Zhonghai remembered that he had promised Zhou Liucheng to visit him, so he could only say sorry. However, Yi Zhonghai also knew how to behave himself, so he took the 30 yuan and shared it among several people, as if it were gifts.

After leaving the village, we got on the bus back to the city soon.

After getting in the car, Yi Zhonghai was still thinking about what to do after returning.

Should we continue to endure or confront directly?
