The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

"No, Minghui brought all the food home. He never let me go shopping for groceries."

Yu Li said helplessly that in the past two months, all the vegetables for the family were brought home by Liu Minghui after get off work, so there was no need for Yu Li to go to the vegetable market.

"That's fine, but you have to keep an eye on it."

Yu's mother still felt that the two of them lived too luxuriously.

"I can't do anything about it, but Minghui does give me his monthly salary."

Yu Li shook her head. It was none of her business. Her husband might go to the black market at night. She would not tell her mother about this.

Yu Li and her friend were preparing dinner while chatting.

Liu Minghui sat outside alone. When it was almost evening, Yu's father and Yu Haitang also came back.

As soon as they entered the house, they saw Liu Minghui sitting at home drinking tea.

"Minghui, how come you have time to come here today?"

"Brother-in-law, did you bring me anything delicious?"

Yu's father and Yu Haitang said this together.

Liu Minghui first answered Yu's father's question.

"Dad, I came here early after get off work today."

After saying that, he looked at Yu Haitang who was standing in front of him and said, "You'll know when you eat later."

"Oh."

Yu Haitang thought that her brother-in-law would bring her some delicious candy, but he didn't. This made Yu Haitang, who loved candy, a little unhappy.

"Haitang, stop bothering your brother-in-law and go back to your room to do your homework."

Yu's father sent Yu Haitang to do his homework, and then the two of them started chatting together.

Of course, it was mainly Yu's father who was asking about how the couple were doing after marriage, and Liu Minghui naturally had to answer them one by one.

After a while, Yu's mother walked out of the kitchen, looked at the two people who were chatting happily and said, "What are you talking about? It's time to eat."

"Nothing, just some work stuff."

Then a few people helped bring out the food.

"Haitang can eat now."

Yu's mother shouted towards the inner room, and then saw Yu Haitang running out.

"Mom, what's delicious? My brother-in-law said there will be something delicious."

"You'll find out when you come here."

Yu Haitang came to the table and saw a table full of food that was even more sumptuous than the one she had at home during the Chinese New Year. She said happily, "There are so many delicious foods. Thank you, brother-in-law. You are so kind."

"What are you thanking me for? Eat more. You're still growing."

When Liu Minghui saw Yu Haitang was about to pounce on him, he could only support her.

"Let's eat first. It's a good opportunity for Minghui and I to have a drink."

After they sat down, Yu's father picked up the bottle and poured them two glasses.

"Dad, you're so polite."

When Liu Minghui saw Yu's father pouring wine for him, he could only thank him repeatedly.

"Minghui, you are being too formal. Let's have a drink first."

Father Yu picked up the wine glass and drank with Liu Minghui.

"I say, you two, eat something first."

Yu's mother couldn't stand it anymore and could only speak up about the two of them.

Then they started eating. At the dinner table, Liu Minghui did not mention the fact that Yu Li was going to work. It would be better to wait until everything was settled before telling Yu's mother about it.

Liu Minghui was mainly discussing with Yu's father about going to the street office to help in a while.

"Minghui, speaking of this, if you hadn't asked Lily to bring something other than iron, maybe one of the pots at home would have to be dismantled."

Yu's mother said this, feeling very angry. Her family almost planned to dismantle an iron pot after receiving the notice from the street office. Fortunately, Yu Li came home with the things the next day.

"Mom, I work in a steel mill, so I don't need this stuff."

"So is the Word."

The more time passed, the more Yu's mother felt that she had made the right decision to marry Yu Li to Liu Minghui. Her family was now living a much better life than before.

After dinner, Liu Minghui took Yu Li away from Yu's house. Liu Minghui rode his bike with Yu Li and the two returned to the courtyard.

It doesn’t get dark so quickly now, and there was still a little light in the sky when I got home.

After entering the courtyard, I saw many neighbors chatting in the front yard. When they saw Liu Minghui and the other person coming in, someone asked, "Chief Liu, do you know about Jia Dongxu's situation?"

The person questioning was a neighbor who lived in the backyard, but Liu Minghui didn't know his name, only that his nickname was Li Cunzi.

"Jia Dongxu? What happened to him? I left the steel mill early in the afternoon, so I don't know."

Liu Minghui asked back calmly.

When neighbors heard Liu Minghui say this, they came over and several of them told the whole story at once.

It turned out that Yi Zhonghai had just returned with Jia Dongxu. Seeing the two men with gloomy faces, they did not dare to ask. They thought Liu Minghui knew it.

"So that's how it is. I didn't even know there was a broadcast this afternoon. I went to my wife's house today and I just came back now."

"Chief Liu, you are a cadre of the steel mill. What kind of punishment do you think Jia Dongxu will receive?"

Li Quezi looked at Liu Minghui and asked.

"I don't know about that, but if they can all be brought back, it means it's not a big deal. At most they will be fined and punished."

After Liu Minghui finished speaking, he took Yu Li home.

After the two men left, the neighbors were still discussing the matter, and everyone was guessing how much money Jia Dongxu would be fined.

After they returned home, Yu Li closed the door and looked at Liu Minghui and said, "Brother Minghui, did you know this a long time ago? That's why you stayed at my mom's house until now."

Yu Li had a look on her face as if she had seen through the truth.

"Haha, my wife is actually smart for once."

Liu Minghui did not deny it and even teased Yu Li.

"Am I that stupid? I can definitely see it if it's so obvious."

Yu Li rolled her eyes and said.

In the central courtyard, in the Jia family's room, several members of the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai were sitting together, but except for Jia Zhang who was cursing, the others were silent.

After a moment of silence, Yi Zhonghai asked Jia Dongxu.

"Dongxu, tell me in detail how you were caught today."

Yi Zhonghai felt that this matter was unusual and that there was a dark hand controlling it from behind.

After all, Yi Zhonghai also knew that Jia Dongxu usually liked to play small cards with others, so how come he was caught this time?

"We were going to that warehouse before, but we were suddenly caught by the security department today."

"I heard them say that someone threw a note to the security department to report it."

Jia Dongxu told Yi Zhonghai what he knew.

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment before asking, "Did they say who reported it?"

Jia Dongxu shook his head.

"That's a difficult problem. Dongxu, did you offend someone in the steel mill?"

Yi Zhonghai changed his mind and asked Jia Dongxu.

"Master, I have conflicts with a few people, but they are all working in the workshop and have no time to report them."

Jia Dongxu thought that he had indeed offended a few people because he relied on Yi Zhonghai's support, but they had no chance to report him.
