Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

Ma Dongmei was surprised. "What? She wants to beat the child. What is this girl thinking? No wonder Shanhe and his wife are angry. I am angry too when I hear this."

"Shanhe won't call you over and scold you, right? Did he tell you? How do we solve this problem?"

He Dong said, "Uncle Zhao called Dad over to discuss hosting a wedding banquet for two people. He didn't want to take care of the rest. The date was set for October 2nd."

"It's the 2nd of next month. Today is the 27th. There are still a few days left. Time is tight. Where's the girl? Shanhe and his wife are angry. Why didn't you bring the girl back? Let's talk it over."

"What the hell are you talking about? I didn't even see anyone, but I was scolded by Qin Jingru. My son-in-law and his wife were scolded by Shanhe and ran away. Who knows where they went?"

"No, I have to call the girl and call her back to have a good talk. It's really outrageous that she didn't discuss such a big thing with anyone," said Ma Dongmei as she called He Hua.

As a result, the other party didn't answer for a long time, and Ma Dongmei asked worriedly, "Is there anything wrong with this child?"

"Mom, what could possibly happen to An Huan? I think the girl just doesn't want to answer the phone because she's afraid you'll scold her."

"He Dong, try calling your sister, maybe she will answer you."

"Mom, how can you think he would answer mine if he didn't even answer your own call? I think you should call An Huan. Maybe he will answer."

Ma Dongmei called An Huan again, and the call was picked up. "An Huan, where are you and He Hua?"

"What? You've already returned to school. Well, An Huan, when do you think you can bring He Hua back?"

"Your father-in-law has been called by your father to set a date for you."

"You know, your elder brother called you,"

"Go and admit your mistake to your father. Your father-in-law and I also want the child to stay."

"Okay, let's hang up then."

After hanging up the phone, Ma Dongmei said to the others, "An Huan and He Hua are back at school. An Huan's elder brother has already told him about the banquet. An Huan said he would bring He Hua back when he's free in the next two days."

"Come back quickly. If I don't take care of this girl, she will rebel. I will teach her a lesson when I come back," said Sha Zhu.

"Come on, I'm pregnant, how are you going to teach me a lesson when I come back? You two haven't eaten yet, I'll go make you some noodles."

"I don't want to eat. I can't eat. I feel so suffocated. My grandson is almost gone. What's the point of eating?"

He Dong wanted to eat. He had been working all day and hadn't had any dinner yet. However, his father didn't want to eat, so he was too embarrassed to ask.

Zhao Shanhe smoked a few cigarettes in the study and then returned to his room. Qin Jingru was making the bed. Zhao Shanhe said, "What's wrong with you? What's the point of scolding Shazhu?"

"He can't control his own daughter, and he can't let anyone say anything. Do you think our son is capable of doing such a thing based on his personality? I know my own son very well."

"Our son listens to his wife. What can you do? You can still control your son for the rest of his life. Besides, Sha Zhu has already married his daughter to you. How can you let him control her? She doesn't even know about the pregnancy. Can you solve the problem by scolding her?"

"I still say the same thing. If it doesn't work out, then divorce. I don't believe that with our family conditions, my son can still marry a good person in his second marriage."

"Divorce, divorce, divorce. Just divorce. Do you want to and does your son want to? That bastard is just a love-brained guy who wants to get married at the age of 18. Do you think he can get a divorce?"

"Hurry up and have the banquet. Let him do whatever he wants. I don't want to care about it anymore. It makes me so angry. He already has two grandchildren, and there are An Feng and An Rong next to him. I'll buy him a house later, so let him live his life however he wants."

"That's right. I don't want to see He Hua either. That face is as annoying as Sha Zhu's. Let's buy a house quickly and let them move out. Out of sight, out of mind."

"Okay, stop nagging and go get some water for washing your feet. If you're angry, you won't even get some water for washing your feet."

Qin Jingru pointed at the bed and said, "I have prepared some clean underwear for you. I knew you would go to smoke. You should go take a shower, or Dingwei won't let you hug him."

Zhao Shanhe took his clothes to the bathroom, and when he came back he lay directly on Qin Jingru. He was feeling very suffocated and wanted to vent.

After venting his anger, Zhao Shanhe said, "Please notify your mother's family, and I'll tell my family here. Just call fewer people this time, and don't bother people like Lao Li."

"Okay, I get it. I'll go back to my parents' house tomorrow. I've been busy taking care of my grandson and haven't been back to see him for a long time. I don't know how my parents are doing."

"I haven't visited my father-in-law for a long time. How about this? Wait for me to come back tomorrow and I'll go with you to see him."

The next afternoon, Zhao Shanhe and his wife, An Tong and his wife took their grandson to Qin's house.

An Huan took He Hua back to her parents' home. As soon as He Hua entered the house, Sha Zhu started to scold her, "How dare you come back? You have made your father lose all his face."

"You think I want to come back? You asked me to come back, right? If you don't welcome me, then I'll just leave."

"I'm going to beat you to death. You've even learned to talk back," Sha Zhu said as he was about to hit He Hua, but Ma Dongmei and An Huan quickly stopped him.

"Father-in-law, let's talk nicely."

"An Huan, don't worry about it. Now he's grown stronger. Not only does he beat the child, he's also learned to talk back."

An Huan quickly said, "It was my idea that my father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't want children."

"Come on, An Huan, stop covering up for her. We know it very well in our hearts. It must have been her idea."

He Hua cried and said, "It was my idea. I finally got into college and was about to graduate. He came at this critical moment. Do you think I can keep him? Besides, An Huan and I are still young. It's not like we won't be able to have children in the future."

"What's the matter? My grandson hasn't graduated yet and your parents-in-law can't afford to raise a child. Do they need you to graduate and earn money to support the family?"

He Hua was not to be outdone and said, "Grandson, grandson, you only have your grandson in your eyes. Just to compete with Xu Damao to see who has more grandchildren, have you ever thought about me? I have worked hard for so many years, why should I sacrifice my future for my children?"

"You know nothing. Your future is for your children. If you don't even want children, what will happen after you graduate and get a job?"

"Did I say no? I said An Huan and I are still young, can't we have another baby later?"

"How dare you talk back? I'll beat you to death. You've been spoiled since you were little. Yesterday, your father was scolded like a grandson by your mother-in-law. You really made your father proud."

"My mother-in-law scolded you. Go take it out on her. Why are you taking it out on me? Do you think I don't know that you are all trying to curry favor with my father-in-law's family? You are afraid that you will lose your job and won't be able to raise your grandson."
