Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Dad, since you said so, then don't say we are unfilial. We are much better than Liu Guangqi. Besides, it was you who taught us that if we eat well, we will be poor. If we don't plan well, we will be poor.

You said that you didn't keep account of the money we spent on schooling, buying things, and marrying a wife? You didn't ask us to pay it back, and we also paid for our living expenses. We also gave you the money for your retirement, which means you don't need us to take care of you. If you don't take care of us when we were young, how can we take care of you in your old age? Dad, don't you think this is the truth?"

The third uncle is also in the wrong. It is just as Yan Jiecheng said, he has been calculating all his life, and everything is calculated based on money. His three sons also receive pension money every month. Since he has taken the money, he really shouldn't let his sons provide for his retirement.

"I don't care about Lili's affairs, but if you want my property, you have to provide for my old age, otherwise you won't get a penny."

"Dad, now that we've come to this, I've been giving you pension money every month over the years. If you don't leave your property to us, can you still take it with you?"

"Jie Cheng, even if I can't take care of it, I won't leave it to you. I'll leave it to whoever is filial to me. If you are not filial, I still have two sons."

"Dad, if you say so, then I won't give you my monthly pension."

"No, you should provide pension money. Children have the obligation to support their parents. Even if I sue the government, I am still right."

The third uncle and aunt asked, "How is it going? How much did you negotiate?"

"What the hell, I don't even like you. And what about the son you gave birth to? I'm almost pissed off to death. Forget it, the more I talk, the angrier I get."

The next day, He Dong rushed out as soon as he got off work and drove to the alley that the scrap collection station staff mentioned yesterday.

After handing out a few cigarettes, everyone knew this girl and lamented that she had a difficult life.

An old woman said, "But if you come at this time, you probably won't be able to see Chunlan. She's probably out collecting waste. But her sister should be at home. Don't open the door to strangers. Do you really want to marry Chunlan and raise her brothers and sisters?"

"Well, auntie, of course what I said is true, otherwise I wouldn't have come here."

The aunt was still very cautious and asked, "Okay, since you drive a car, your conditions should be good. Does your family agree? Don't blame me for being harsh. Don't you want to marry a concubine? Then you can play with Chunlan for a few days and then dump her."

"Aunt, where did you go? I'm not that kind of person. I really want to marry Chunlan. I've told my family about it. Besides, there are laws, so I can't do anything reckless."

"Do you have a unit? Let me take a look. If you dare to do anything wrong, I will go to your unit to find your leader."

He Dong took out his work ID, and several middle-aged women found someone who could read to take a look at it. Only then did they confirm it and took him to Xia Chunlan's house.

He Dong took out the snacks and gifts he had prepared for lunch from the car. The aunt called for a while, and a girl of about twelve or thirteen opened the door.

"Chuncao, this young man wants to marry your sister and support you and your siblings. Go find your sister and ask her to come back and tell us that we will take care of the house for you."

"Chuncao, right? Hello, my name is He Dong, and I'll be your brother-in-law in the future. This is a gift for you. Could you please go find your sister?"

Chuncao didn't accept the gift He Dong brought, but said to the aunt, "Aunt Liu, I'm going to find my sister, can you help me watch the fire?"

Aunt Liu readily agreed, "No problem, go ahead."

He Dong asked, "Is it far? Can I drive you there?"

"Chuncao, don't worry and take the bus. We know the unit this guy works for, and he's not a liar."

The little girl got into the car carefully. He Dong drove and, under the guidance of the little girl, it took seven or eight minutes to find Xia Chunlan. There was a boy next to her, who was about thirteen or fourteen years old. They were two or three kilometers away from home.

When Chuncao saw her sister, she ran over, whispered something to Chunlan and the boy for a while, and then pointed at He Dong.

Then Chunlan came over with the two of them and said, "He Dong, right? You just saw me yesterday and you fell in love with me. Do you know my conditions?"

"Yes, I found out yesterday. Your name is Xia Chunlan, and the condition for marrying you is to support your brothers and sisters. I have no problem with that, and my parents agree too."

"Then you have to prove that you are capable of supporting my brother and sister."

"Then let me tell you, my name is He Dong."

"I know this. You told me yesterday."

He Dong continued, "I am 23 years old, graduated from Sijiucheng University of Technology, and now work in the Automobile Industry Department. This is my work certificate," He Dong handed his work certificate to Xia Chunlan.

"I just started working, and my salary is 89 yuan. But I am the only son in my family. My father is the head chef of Sihai Restaurant, and his monthly salary is yuan. He promised to give me several hundred yuan every month. We also have several properties, a car that I drive now, and a mobile phone for everyone in the family. It shouldn't be a problem to support your brothers and sisters, right?

If you don't believe me, I can take you to see it right now. I guarantee that everything I say is true. By the way, if you don't have a formal job, after we get married, my father will use his connections to arrange for you to join the Zhao Group. I really want to marry you. What do you think?"

"Comrade He Dong, I believe for the time being that what you said is true. You said you are the only one in your family, you have a house and a car, you have a cell phone, and you are a college student. You have such good conditions, why do you want to marry me?"

"First of all, let me correct you. I am not the only one in my family. I have a younger sister, but she is already engaged. You asked me what I wanted from you. Do you believe in love at first sight? I was sure of you when I saw you for the first time yesterday."

"Okay, since you said that, I'll tell you my conditions again. If you're still willing, I'll marry you."

"Okay, tell me, I believe I will marry you."

"First of all, I don't want a dowry, but my brother and sister want to follow me and live with me."

"That's no problem. I'll live alone in the upper floor, and they'll each have their own room."

"You have to be responsible for my brother and sister's daily expenses, and you have to send them to school."

"Okay, no problem. I'll give you all the money I earn, and you'll be in charge of the family's money. There'll be no problem with school."

"I have one more condition. If it's okay, let's sign a document and I can marry you at any time."

"Tell me, if there are any more, I will promise you as long as I can do it."

Xia Chunlan was a little embarrassed to say, "I want to give my brother a wife and my sister a dowry. Do you think you can accept this?"

"That's not a problem. Raising your brothers and sisters won't be complete until they have their own families and careers."
