Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

Originally, Qin Huairu could still pretend to be a good daughter-in-law and listen to He Daqing's scolding, but when she heard He Daqing say that he would not go to find Bang Geng, Qin Huairu's eyes turned red with tears.

She begged with a slightly tearful voice, "Dad, you have to find a good guy. There are so many kidnappers out there, and he's just a kid—"

As she spoke, Qin Huairu raised her hand and wiped away her tears.

As a result, He Daqing interrupted again, "What kidnapper? What child?"

"Doesn't he look down on Sha Zhu? Sha Zhu is twelve years old, the same age as him. I dared to let him go out alone to sell buns even when there was a war going on outside."

"Is there a war going on outside now? He's smarter than Sha Zhu, where can he be thrown?"

Seeing that He Daqing didn't want to negotiate, Qin Huairu stopped arguing and rushed out the door.

"Dad, stop talking. You and Mom can rest at home. I'll go find her!"

"Then go find it!"

He Daqing stood up and shouted at Qin Huairu, "If you find him, let him come back and continue to make trouble. He won't go to school every day. I don't know what he will become if he is spoiled by you!"

"Qing!"

Jia Zhang was so angry that she jumped up on the spot, clapped her hands and shouted:

"Stop talking. Our two families have just gotten married, and you can't stand Bang Geng. You hope that he gets into trouble outside and Huairu gives birth to your He family's child, right?"

"If something really happens to him, I wonder how you're going to explain it to Lao Jia and Dong Xu!"

"Humph!"

He Daqing snorted coldly and sat down. There were no outsiders present now, so he said directly: "Explain. I am teaching them the stick jokes. I do the same to my own son Sha Zhu. What do you want to explain?"

"Besides, even if the stick is not lost, our two families haven't obtained the marriage certificate. I don't think you have the face to go down and meet Lao Jia, right?"

"How dare you say that! Heh~~"

He Daqing smiled contemptuously, peeled a candy in his hand and put it into his mouth.

Jia Zhang was stunned with anger, her eyes rolling as she recalled the past. When she married into the compound, it was during a time of war, and the chaos continued until Dongxu came of age.

During this period, human life was worthless and it was even more difficult for people in the city to have enough food. However, He Daqing not only could not have enough food, but he could also often get some delicacies that she had never heard of to tempt her.

After a while, they had been together for a long time when Lao Jia was still alive...

That's why she was so vigilant against Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu later on. Firstly, it was because she had experience in this matter, and secondly, she couldn't let the Jia family suffer the same fate twice.

Otherwise, how would she explain to Lao Jia and Dong Xu later?

Thinking back on everything, she knew that He Daqing was using this matter to threaten her. If Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu knew about this, how would Qin Huairu look at her as a good mother-in-law? Jia Zhang didn't even dare to think about it.

He had no choice but to walk closer, pat He Daqing's shoulder and said softly, "Daqing, this is all a trivial matter from more than ten years ago. What else is there to mention?"

"Now that we have obtained our marriage certificate, Huairu and Zhuzi have also obtained their marriage certificate. No matter what, it is your He family that has wronged the Jia family. In the future, please stop targeting Banggeng and Xiaodang Huaihua. Let's live a good life together, okay?"

He Daqing was already angry if he hadn't mentioned this. As soon as Jia Zhang finished speaking, he stood up and glared at her, asking, "Am I targeting Bang Geng?"

"You are the ones who taught him to look down on Zhuzi. Don't think I don't know what you think. If I hadn't come back, who knows how long Zhuzi would have been hanging by the tree and supporting the widow for years!"

"Ho~"

"Don't say you guys laugh at him, even the gang laughs at him, can you blame the neighbors for gossiping about him?"

"Zhu Zi was also raised by you. A husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days. We must have been bound by love for at least several decades. It's a relief that you could do this!"

After He Daqing finished speaking angrily, he just flicked his sleeves and went back to the main house.

"Daqing you——"

"Ugh!"

After sighing, Jia Zhang sat down dejectedly on the stool and did not chase after him. If she did, they would just have another big quarrel. Since she could not win the argument with He Daqing, Jia Zhang naturally would not go looking for trouble.

"Alas! It's my fault after all. If I had known earlier, I should have brought Shazhu and Huairu together, and Banggeng should have said less bad things about Shazhu..."

It was rare that Jia Zhang actually regretted her previous mistakes while sitting on the chair.

Now that things have come full circle, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu have become husband and wife, and she has been involved, but Bang Geng still looks down on Sha Zhu from the bottom of his heart.

They quarreled like this on the first day of their marriage. He Daqing even told her about her previous evil plan. He was so malicious towards Bang Geng. How could they live in the future?

Jia Zhang didn't go out to look for Banggeng either. He was waiting for Shazhu to come back.

after an hour

Sha Zhu rushed into the main room carrying the net bag. Before he could say anything, He Daqing said, "Go to Jia's house and cook. From now on, we are a family and will live together."

"okay!"

Hearing this unexpected surprise, Sha Zhu was naturally overjoyed. After agreeing, he rushed to Jia's house, wanting to see his new daughter-in-law, new son and new daughter.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the Jia family's gate, Jia Zhang rushed up and grabbed Sha Zhu's arm and begged, "Zhu Zi, I beg you to go out and look for him quickly!"

"When Banggeng heard that we were married and that we had to call you dad and Grandpa Daqing from now on, he ran away. Huairu is looking for him everywhere!"

After hearing this, Sha Zhu was confused. He put the net bag on the table and asked, "Why don't you go find it? Call all the neighbors!"

“There’s strength in numbers!”

"Yes——" Jia Zhang just uttered one word.

He Daqing, who followed behind him, said sternly, "It was me who told you not to look for him. Just focus on cooking your meal and don't mind your own business."

"dad--"

Sha Zhu was also frightened by He Daqing's fierce eyes just after he said a word, but he still said with a stiff upper lip: "There is no rush to change your words. Bang Geng is still so young..."

"I told you to cook!"

He Daqing stared at Sha Zhu with his dead fish eyes and said with gritted teeth, not allowing Sha Zhu to refute.

Jia Zhang was still holding Sha Zhu's arm, crying and wailing, "Zhu Zi, you can't ignore Bang Geng. He has always been the one who loves you the most in the courtyard. Now Huai Ru is alone in Mansijiu City——"

"He looks down on you the most, calling you Stupid Zhu and Stupid Ye all the time. I called him Stupid Little Zhu and he almost got mad to death!" He Daqing added from the side.

"Daqing, you have such a cruel heart. Huairu and Shazhu had just got their marriage certificate and you--" Jia Zhang turned her head back, tears streaming down her face.

He Daqing knew that she wanted to instigate Sha Zhu and make his own son Sha Zhu confront him. From then on, the He family would be 3 against 1 and no one would listen to him.

"Cuihua, do you really want to force me to turn hostile and tell Shazhu everything I just said and didn't say?"

He Daqing threatened with a cold face. Jia Zhang was visibly panicked. Then she wiped her tears with both hands and walked to the kang in the inner room with sobs.

"Dad, why don't we go look for him together? Today is our wedding day, but Bang Geng ran away and Sister Qin is not at home. What do you think is going on?"

Sha Zhu asked weakly, but He Daqing still said coldly, "This is not something you should worry about. Go and cook. Today is the day your mother and I get married."

"We'll deal with you and Huairu later!"

"It's really rare. How can a father and son hold a wedding banquet together? They must be staggered..."

As he spoke, He Daqing took out a White Rabbit from his pocket and started teasing Jia Danghuaihua who was playing nearby. An ugly smile broke out on his old face like a dead tree.

Both Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were defeated, let alone their own son Sha Zhu.

There was no other way, so Sha Zhu had to listen to He Daqing and go to the stove under the corridor to work. From time to time, the smell of vegetables filled the air from the backyard.

While cooking, Sha Zhu glanced towards the courtyard gate, his mind having already drifted away from the courtyard.

When the meal was served, Jia Zhang sat at the table wiping her tears and ignored her wedding banquet.

The groom He Daqing ate leisurely and even picked up some food for the two cute little girls from time to time.

Sha Zhu couldn't sit still at this moment, and stood at the door just like he did last night, looking out towards the Moon Gate.

From time to time, he turned back to look at He Daqing, with an anxious and dissatisfied look on his face, wanting to say something but not daring to.
