Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Why can't you understand me?"

"You dare to say that? I'll beat you to death. Just pretend that I never gave birth to you. How did you grow up without a salary?" Sha Zhu got so angry that he couldn't be stopped.

"He Hua, stop provoking your father," Ma Dongmei grabbed Sha Zhu's arm tightly.

"Father-in-law, calm down. He Hua is already my wife and she's pregnant. You can't hit her." An Huan bent over and hugged Sha Zhu's waist tightly. The two of them couldn't hold Sha Zhu back and were dragged forward.

Just then the door opened and He Dong came back. Ma Dongmei quickly shouted, "Son, come and hold your father back. Your father wants to beat your sister and we can't hold him back any longer."

Seeing this, He Dong quickly dropped his bag and came over to hold Sha Zhu, "Dad, calm down, calm down."

"Calm down, what the hell? Listen to what she's saying. I think it's better to kill her and let An Huan find someone new. My daughter is not good enough for him."

"Father-in-law, she is a good match for me. I have chosen He Hua." An Huan said hurriedly.

"Can you please have some backbone? You always listen to your wife. Do you have any future?"

"Father-in-law, calm down first. We can talk slowly if there is anything."

"What are you talking about? I'm so angry. He Hua, I just want to ask you, do you want to keep the child?"

"No, I won't keep it no matter what you say. What's wrong with me being selfish for once? It's not like I can't have children in the future."

Ma Dongmei advised, "My daughter, the child must stay."

Sha Zhu pulled his arm out of Ma Dongmei's hand and pointed at the door, "Get out of here, get out of here right now, I don't want to see you."

The huge commotion at Sha Zhu's house attracted Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang and Zhou Yuanyuan and her daughter-in-law from across the street.

Banggeng usually comes home late from get off work, and Xu Damao is usually out for social events, so he hasn't come back yet.

The four women were outside, and Qin Huairu shouted, "Silly Zhu, don't be stupid. You can't hit people, okay?"

Who knew that as soon as the door opened, He Hua ran out, followed by An Huan.

The four people outside the door were dumbfounded. What was going on? Could it be that Sha Zhu had a quarrel with his daughter and son-in-law?

The four entered the house and saw He Dong and Ma Dongmei still holding Sha Zhu. Jia Zhang advised, "Sha Zhu, you can't do anything stupid. Your whole family works in the company. If you beat your daughter and son-in-law, what will happen to your whole family? Your daughter-in-law is still pregnant."

"Let go," Ma Dongmei and He Dong finally reacted and let go of Sha Zhu.

"What does it have to do with you? If you have nothing to do with it, go home and stay out of our family's business. How does it have anything to do with you if I beat my daughter?"

"Silly Zhu, please don't be so naughty. We are doing this for your own good."

Ma Dongmei quickly explained, "Aunt Jia, Sister Jia, and Yuanyuan, it's not what you think. It can't be explained in a few words. Zhuzi is angry right now, so his words may sound a bit harsh. Please don't take it to heart. Thank you for your kindness."

"Shazhu, even though we don't know what happened, no matter what, we should not hit anyone. Hitting people won't solve the problem. Let's talk it out nicely. Then we'll go back," said Jia Zhang.

After Jia Zhang left, Ma Dongmei closed the door and said, "Why can't you just talk it out calmly? You had to resort to violence. Now my daughter has run away. What else can I say?"

"Do you think she speaks human language? She counters me with ten sentences for every one I say. How can I speak properly?"

"Who can you blame? Your daughter has the same stubborn temper as you. You tried to talk her out of it, but now she's gone. What do you think we should do now?"

Sha Zhu was stunned on the spot, and after a long while he managed to utter a sentence, "Whatever you want to do, I'm going to go and supplement my grandson's nutrition."

In the following days, relatives and friends received invitations one after another.

On October 1st, Zhao Shanhe asked An Tong, "Is the phone still not working?"

An Tong said, "The phone is connected, but no one answered."

The same thing happened to Sha Zhu. Ma Dongmei and He Dong made dozens of phone calls, but An Huan and He Hua didn't answer the calls.

In a bungalow, An Huan was making porridge for He Hua.

"An Huan, I'm sorry"

"What's there to be sorry about? I told you that I will support you no matter what decision you make. The worst that can happen is that you won't have to rely on your family anymore."

It turned out that after leaving Sha Zhu's house, He Hua beat her child in anger the next day. After being discharged from the hospital, An Huan rented a bungalow to take care of He Hua.

The child beat up the two of them but didn’t dare tell his family or answer the phone.

On the afternoon of October 1st, Sha Zhu, He Dong and Ma Dongmei came to Zhao Shanhe's house.

"Shanhe, I'm so sorry, we can't contact An Huan or He Hua."

"Alas," Zhao Shanhe also sighed, "I asked my family members to do the same, but I couldn't get in touch with them either."

"Could something have happened to those two?" Ma Dongmei became more and more anxious the more she thought about it.

Sha Zhu said, "What could have happened? I think he just ignored the call on purpose."

Zhao Shanhe was also worried that something might happen to the two of them, so he said, "Why don't we go to the school and ask?"

Several people drove to the school, asked many people, and found An Huan in the dormitory.

"Grandpa, why are you here?" Zhao Gang asked

"Zhao Gang, did An Huan come to class a few days ago?"

"He was here a few days ago. An Huan asked me to ask for leave for him these two days."

"When was the last time you saw An Huan?"

"On the morning of the 29th, he asked me to take two days off, saying he had something to do and would be back after the National Day holiday."

"Where's He Hua? Did she go to class?"

"He was here two days ago, but he hasn't come these past two days. Grandpa, is there something wrong?"

"It's okay, Zhao Gang, you guys take a rest, we'll leave first."

The group left the dormitory and said, "They asked for leave, which means that the two of them are fine. They just deliberately didn't answer the phone."

"Shanhe, are we going to hold the banquet?" Ma Dongmei asked

Sha Zhu said directly, "What the hell is going on?"

"Let's go, let's talk about it after we leave the school," the group walked out of the school.

Zhao Shanhe started smoking, and Shazhu also lit one. Zhao Shanhe said, "Shazhu, sister-in-law, notify the relatives. It's not going to happen. They don't answer the phone. It looks like the two of them won't come tomorrow."

"Shanhe, this guy is going to lose a lot of money. I can't afford to lose this guy."

Zhao Shanhe retorted, "Do you think I can afford to lose this?"

"Okay, let's go home and talk to our relatives."

"Uncle Zhao, I'll go back then." He Dong said to Zhao Shanhe, then drove away with Sha Zhu and Ma Dongmei.

Zhao Shanhe also got in the car with An Tong. "Take me back later and go to the hotel to see if everything is ready. If it is, make up for the loss and I will notify each family."

"Dad, how about I give the second brother another try? If it doesn't work, we brothers will go look for him. If we notify him, it will be a huge embarrassment."

"What are you still looking for? Just be ashamed of yourself. Just pretend you never gave birth to this son and go home."
