Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

Chen Xueru said with a look of disappointment.

"I don't know what Shazhu eats, but I heard from Yan Jiecheng that when He Yushui is really hungry, she goes to the pool to drink water until she vomits. It's really a sin."

After listening to what Chen Xueru said, Zhao Shanhe felt even more disgusted with Sha Zhu. He didn't even care about his own family members, but cared about a married woman. The He family's genes were so terrible. Are they still human?

However, this did not affect him going back to the house to have dinner with Chen Xueru and Hou Kui. In the evening, because Chen Xueru was at home, it was not convenient for him to go to the small world to cook, so he took out a Tianfuhao pork elbow from his bag and said he bought it during the day. The family ate steamed bread made of pure corn flour with the pork elbow and Liubiju pickles, and they ate it with relish.

Shortly after we finished eating and before the table was cleared, we heard the angry roar of Shazhu from the middle courtyard.

"You've grown wings, haven't you? You eat and drink my food all day, so I'll just let you go hungry for one meal, right? Sister Qin's family is not doing well, how come you don't have any love at all?"

Afterwards, he saw a short and thin figure running out of the hanging flower gate through his window. Zhao Shanhe looked closely and saw that it was Yu Shui.

It was obvious that it was Sha Zhu who gave the lunch box to Qin Huairu. When He Yushui came home and saw that there was no food, he argued with him. This guy, who was very proud, felt embarrassed and scolded his own sister.

"Shanhe, are Shazhu and He Yushui really siblings? Not giving his own sister food is already too much, but he even kicked her out. Won't everyone in the yard laugh at him to death now?"

After all, Chen Xueru is a divorced woman, and she hates men like Sha Zhu the most.

"Xue Ru, you think things are too simple. I guess the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu are looking forward to this happening. Then Sha Zhu can focus on bringing lunch boxes to the Jia family and help the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai in their old age.

But it's not safe for a girl to go out at night. I'll go check it out. You wait for me at home."

Although Zhao Shanhe wanted to ignore the troubles in Sha Zhu's family, the quality education in the 21st century still prevented him from becoming completely cold-blooded. In addition, due to food shortage, many hooligans on the street began to take risks. If something really happened to He Yushui outside, he would definitely not be at ease.

It’s not that Zhao Shanhe has a heart of a saint, it’s just a little kindness he has for He Yushui. If it was Yi Zhonghai or the deaf old lady who ran away, not only would he not care, he might even hit them with a brick from behind.

Zhao Shanhe put on his cotton jacket and left the courtyard. Fortunately, He Yushui was not stupid and knew that the streets were in chaos recently. She was crying not far outside the courtyard.

"He Yushui, did your brother not prepare food for you?"

Zhao Shanhe walked to He Yushui, not knowing what to say. After thinking for a long time, he finally uttered this question which he knew the answer to.

He Yushui raised her head and looked at Zhao Shanhe with her red eyes, then lowered her head again. As a girl, no one wanted to show her embarrassing side to others.

The two stood outside the courtyard gate for a few minutes. Seeing that the other party did not respond, Zhao Shanhe felt that Yu Shui's mood had calmed down a little, so he spoke.

"Let's go. I still have some steamed bread at home. If you don't mind, come back with me and have a bite. The world is big, but eating is the most important thing. Only when you are full will you have the energy to quarrel with your brother."

When He Yushui heard Zhao Shanhe's heretical little words, she chuckled, but still didn't say anything. However, her legs were very obedient and she followed Zhao Shanhe step by step back to the yard.

Zhao Shanhe brought He Yushui back to the house and saw that the dishes on the dining table had been cleared away, but a new plate of steamed bread, as well as some freshly cut pork elbow and a small bowl of pickles had been placed on the table. He immediately felt that Chen Xueru understood him and knew what he was thinking.

He turned around and said to He Yushui.

"The food on the table was just served to you by your sister-in-law. It's not our leftovers. Go and eat it. Don't let your sister-in-law down."

He Yushui was a little dumbfounded when he saw the things on the table: yellow cornmeal steamed bread, shiny pork elbow slices, and cucumber strips from Liubiju. Even if he had a chef at home, he hadn't had such a good meal in a while.

"Brother Shanhe, Sister Xueru, this food is too..."

Chen Xueru knew that the little girl was very sensitive about her reputation, so she walked over, took He Yushui's hand, pressed her down on the stool beside the dining table and said.

"Girl, don't mind that the steamed bread is cold. Eat it. I'll take you home when you're full."

He Yushui was really hungry. She was a girl in the second grade of junior high school. She couldn't eat anything good in the morning with Sha Zhu. At noon, she had to take a steamed bread as lunch. When she got home in the evening, it was okay because Sha Zhu had a lunch box. Even if there was no oil, she could at least eat until she was 60% to 70% full. But after Sha Zhu gave the lunch box to Qin Huairu, she could only drink cold water to fill her stomach.

She ate three cornmeal steamed buns, half a bowl of cucumber strips, and didn't touch the pork elbow slices with her chopsticks. He Yushui also knew that meat was too precious during the New Year, so she really didn't dare to eat it.

Chen Xueru touched He Yushui's dry and yellow hair, then touched her thin arms, and thought that this girl was too thin. She stood up, took a pair of new chopsticks, picked up a few slices of elbow meat and put them into her bowl and said.

"Yushui, don't be embarrassed to come to my sister-in-law. You should have heard that I run a silk shop, so I don't need to worry about food and drink. If your brother doesn't give you food in the future, you can come to me."

Zhao Shanhe did not comment on this. One of the reasons why he married Chen Xueru was because she had a kind heart just like him. However, because Chen Xueru had been hurt in love, she had a strong sense of self-protection and would not show it.

After He Yushui finished eating the meat with tears in her eyes, Chen Xueru took her aside and talked for a while about things that girls should pay attention to. At this time, He Yushui had already regarded Chen Xueru as her new support. This was not surprising. The girl lost her mother shortly after she was born, and lost her father when she was 6 or 7 years old. Although Sha Zhu had always been nice to her, she was just a boy after all. It was good enough for him to feed He Yushui, and he never took care of anything else.

Chen Xueru is at the most perfect age for women, and she is willing to spend money on dressing up. Both her clothes and appearance are enough to make He Yushui yearn for her.

After Zhao Shanhe and Chen Xueru sent He Yushui back to her ear room, Zhao Shanhe asked after they got home.

"Xue Ru, what if Yu Shui comes to our house for no reason in the future? I think she seems to like sticking to you very much.

Aren't you afraid that Sha Zhu will cause you trouble?"

Chen Xueru smoothed the hair behind her ears with her hand and gave Zhao Shanhe a seductive look in reply.

"What? You have a problem? If Silly Zhu is looking for trouble with me, aren't you the one who can help me?"

What could Zhao Shanhe have an opinion on? He remembered that in the short video, He Yushui never returned to the courtyard after she got married, which showed that she was also very disappointed with Sha Zhu.

He spread his hands and replied.

"I will fully support any action you take and will not have any objections. If Shazhu really comes to cause trouble for such a trivial matter, then he will be in real trouble."
