The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

"But we can just watch the show from the side."

Liu Minghui no longer wanted to care about the affairs of Xu Damao and Sha Zhu. He had given Xu Damao advice before because he thought Xu Damao was a good person.

Now I didn’t expect that Xu Damao is so unreliable.

Liu Minghui pulled a chair to the coal stove and stretched his hands over to warm them by the fire. The weather was still a bit cold.

"Lily, come here and warm your hands together."

Liu Minghui saw that Yu Li had already washed the clothes and hung them out to dry.

"Goodbye, you haven't had breakfast yet, I'll make you some dumplings."

Yu Li went to the kitchen and took out a lot of dumplings that she had made earlier from the cupboard.

"Make more and we can eat together."

Liu Minghui walked over and looked at Yu Li and said.

"No, I came here after eating."

Yu Li refused Liu Minghui's invitation and started to work there.

Liu Minghui had no choice but to go back outside and wait.

After a while, Yu Li brought out a bowl of steaming dumplings and placed it in front of Liu Minghui.

Yu Li sat down next to her and watched Liu Minghui eat dumplings.

"Brother Minghui, why don't you tell me about the people in this courtyard?"

Yu Li thought that she would be getting married in a while, so she still wanted to learn more about it.

Seeing that Yu Li wanted to know, Liu Minghui decided to explain it to her in detail.

"The first one is the Jia family. Since the eldest uncle has no son, Jia Dongxu from the Jia family is the candidate for the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai's retirement."

"Jia Dongxu's mother is a lazy person who often throws tantrums in the yard and likes to blackmail people. You should not have any contact with their family."

Yu Li was a little confused. She really didn't know how someone could be like this. Isn't this just an old hag?

Seeing that Yu Li was a little confused, Liu Minghui told her another piece of bombshell news.

"And Qin Huairu from their family, Jia Dongxu's wife, is not a simple person either."

"Didn't you meet Sha Zhu from the Central Courtyard today? I tell you that Sha Zhu has always been interested in Qin Huairu."

"That's impossible."

Seeing that Yu Li didn't believe him, Liu Minghui told her another story.

"You don't know, some time ago Jia Dongxu wanted Sha Zhu to help his family, so he went to ask Sha Zhu to help bring some leftovers from the steel mill cafeteria. Sha Zhu refused to agree, but Qin Huairu agreed as soon as she left the house. Why do you say that this is no problem?"

"After that, Qin Huairu waited in the yard every day for Sha Zhu to get off work and get her lunch box. Many people saw this. There are still many rumors in the steel mill now."

Liu Minghui heard about this matter later from people in the hospital, otherwise he would not have known about it.

"It seems that Qin Huairu is not a good person either. I will definitely not have any contact with her in the future."

After hearing this, Yu Li immediately said that there is really no woman nowadays like Qin Huairu, who flirts with other men while her husband is still alive.

"The backyard is home to the second uncle Liu Haizhong. How can I describe Liu Haizhong? He is an official fanatic. He often acts like an official at home and favors his eldest son Liu Guangqi. The other two are just like picked-up children in his eyes, and he often beats or scolds them."

"But we don't have any conflicts with him. We just need to say a few nice words to coax him."

"There is also the deaf old lady in the backyard. She is usually taken care of by Yi Zhonghai's family. She doesn't come out when she has nothing to do. She often regards herself as the ancestor of the compound. She loves Sha Zhu the most and treats him as her own grandson. We should not bother with her. We should just be accommodating to her because of her age."

"The last one is the Yan family across from us. They are stingy and usually like to stay at the gate of the courtyard, watching who comes back and want to see if they can get some benefits."

After Liu Minghui finished speaking, Yu Li frowned and asked, "Why are there so many problems in this hospital?"

"Most of the people in our compound are nice. Just treat them as normal neighbors."

"You just need to remember these few families in particular."

Liu Minghui didn't know if he had scared Yu Li by making the matter sound too serious.

"Don't worry, if anyone dares to bully you after you marry me, just tell me and I'll help you vent your anger."

As he spoke, Liu Minghui still held Yu Li in his arms.

"Oh, let go."

Yu Li blushed a little when she was suddenly hugged, and she could only struggle hard to break free from Liu Minghui's arms.

"I'm not someone who dares not fight back when being bullied. If anyone dares to bully me, I'll tell you, okay."

Liu Minghui nodded when he saw that Yu Li had recovered. In the original novel, Yu Li was a relatively strong person and naturally would not be bullied without saying a word.

After Liu Minghui finished his breakfast, Yu Li began to clean up the dishes and took them to the kitchen to wash.

"How about we go out for a walk?"

Liu Minghui thought about taking Yu Li out to play. After all, there was nothing much to do in the hospital and it was a bit boring.

"No, it's so cold now, there's nothing fun to do."

"Besides, it's Chinese New Year tomorrow, and there are still many things to do at home."

Yu Li refused. In her opinion, Liu Minghui might want to take her shopping again and she didn't want to waste money.

"Uh, if you don't want to go, forget it. Let's just stay at home."

Liu Minghui saw that Yu Li really didn't want to go out so he didn't force her. It was fine for them to stay at home.

I do have to prepare some things for the New Year today.

Today is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Yu Li stayed at Liu Minghui's house until three o'clock in the afternoon and then went back, mainly to help her family.

Today, seeing that Liu Minghui was alone in the city, Yu's mother asked Yu Li to come over early to help.

After sending Yu Li away, Liu Minghui saw that many families in the courtyard were posting couplets outside, and Yi Zhonghai and others were busy at the gate.

"Uncle, where are the couplets?"

Liu Minghui came over to join in the fun as he had nothing to do.

Yi Zhonghai, who was holding the ladder, saw that it was Liu Minghui and said with a smile: "Yes, isn't it the New Year? This was written by your uncle. What do you think?"

"Hey, I think our Third Uncle is indeed this."

Liu Minghui gave a thumbs up.

"Haha, I just wrote a lot, I can't stand the praise."

Yan Bugui next to him was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, but he was still being humble.

"Liu Minghui, good things are about to happen to you."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Minghui and sighed.

Liu Minghui naturally knew what he was talking about.

"Well, we'll get married after the New Year. We're also old enough to get a marriage certificate."

These words made Shazhu, who was on the ladder, feel a little bitter.

"Alas, I am a few years older than Liu Minghui, but I can't even see the shadow of this daughter-in-law."

"It's all that damn Xu Damao's fault."

Sha Zhu said a little angrily that if Xu Damao hadn't run away after the meeting in the morning, he would have wanted to beat him up now.

The people around him also felt that Xu Damao was up to no good, which made Shazhu so angry that he was confused.
