Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

The matchmaker that Jia Zhang found was related to the Jia family. In terms of seniority, the matchmaker was Jia Dongxu's second aunt. The matchmaker looked at Jia Dongxu and said with a smile, "Dongxu, you said you don't have time tomorrow, but that's not necessarily true! I heard from people in our courtyard that your mother was arrested by the police and taken to the police station. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to shut me up with these few dollars."

Jia Dongxu smiled awkwardly and said, "Second aunt, the old lady knew it, so I won't beat around the bush with you. I am your nephew, you have to help me, right?" The matchmaker said with a smile, "Dongxu, how much do you think relatives are worth?"

Jia Dongxu frowned and asked, "Second aunt, what do you mean?" The matchmaker smiled and said, "I have no intention, I just think the money is a little too little. If the girl knew that her future mother-in-law is in jail, do you think she will agree? I'm risking my reputation over the years, you have to let me make some money, right?"

Jia Dongxu frowned, he really didn't want to spend any more money. After thinking about it, for the sake of his future wife, he gritted his teeth and took out two more dollars from his pocket. Don't underestimate these two dollars, two dollars can do a lot of things. The matchmaker looked at it, smiled and put the two dollars in her pocket and said, "Okay, okay, I'll take care of this matter. You go back and wait for the news, and then we'll make another date."

Jia Dongxu nodded with a smile. He was naturally very satisfied and made another appointment. After finishing the serious business, Jia Dongxu did not stay and left the matchmaker's house. The matchmaker's husband looked at the matchmaker and said, "Don't you know what kind of personality your sister has? You pushed a good girl to that kind of family. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

The matchmaker counted the money and said, "Retribution? I never believe in retribution. What is money? Money is my father and my mother. You old man, since you think what I did was wrong, why didn't you say it just now? You are just a wise man after the event. I am raising such a big family by myself. Is it easy for me? I".

The matchmaker's husband curled his lips. He really had less and less say in this family. He snorted coldly and said, "You old thing, I am your husband, how can you say that?" The matchmaker snorted coldly and said, "Husband, what role can you play as a husband? Can you bring back food or make money?"

The matchmaker's husband smiled awkwardly and said to the matchmaker, "Oh, okay, okay, I was wrong, okay? I just think that your sister's behavior is just pushing the girl into the fire." The matchmaker curled her lips and said, "What do you know? Don't you know what the situation in the countryside is like now? Although my sister is lazy and has a bad temper, their family lives in the city after all, and their conditions are much better than in the countryside. I can marry them to the city, which is a good deed, do you understand?"

The matchmaker's husband curled his lips. He knew he couldn't win the argument with his wife, so he could only sigh. The matchmaker didn't pay attention to her husband. After thinking for a while, she said, "Okay, let's eat quickly and then go to bed early. I have to go to Qinjiazhuang tomorrow morning." The husband nodded and went to the kitchen to cook.

Jia Dongxu was strolling on the street. He wanted to go to his master to discuss how to rescue his mother. On the way, he met Li Erhei. Li Erhei looked at Jia Dongxu and said with a smile, "Hey, it's Dongxu. Qianjin and I are going to play in the Eight Great Hutongs tonight. Do you want to go?"

Jia Dongxu's face turned red, he shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to go." Li Erhei grabbed Jia Dongxu who wanted to leave and said, "Why are you shy, kid? We just got our salary today, don't you want to eat some meat? Qianjin and I treat you as a brother, so we asked you to go with us. If you don't go, it would be a disrespect to both of us."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Jia Dongxu reluctantly followed Li Erhei. Jia Dongxu had also been to the Eight Great Hutongs. Although the country has been suppressing these special groups, is there a countermeasure? There are still many people who secretly do this kind of business, and they are active under the street lights.

The place Jia Dongxu went to was called Xiaomao Hutong, where all kinds of people lived. The two found Zhao Qianjin, and the three of them went to Xiaomao Hutong together. The three of them were familiar with the place and came to a large courtyard with dozens of rooms. A middle-aged woman with rouge on her face came out with a smile and said, "Hey, you gentlemen are here, please come in, please come in."

Li Erhei said with a smile, "Madame, are there any good girls here recently to play with us?" The old maid smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm really sorry for you gentlemen. The inspections from above have been too strict recently, and we can only do this business secretly. The girls are still the same, so you guys just have to make do with them."

The three of them thought about it and decided to make do with it. Jia Dongxu and the other two found a girl each and went into the room. The girl's gentle embrace dispelled Jia Dongxu's annoyance and his determination to save his mother.

In the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "This Sha Zhu is really too much. He sent his old sister-in-law to the police station. This man is really unfilial. I think the old lady is a blind man. When she has such a good retirement partner like Dongxu, why did she look for Sha Zhu?"

Bai Xiuying persuaded, "The old lady has a good idea. Let's make Sha Zhu a pensioner to prevent problems before they happen." Yi Zhonghai snorted and said, "Women have long hair but little knowledge. I am young now, but Sha Zhu doesn't even give me face. If Sha Zhu waits until we are old, he will poop and pee on my head."

Bai Xiuying sighed and said, "Oh, Old Yi, let's adopt a child. When we are old, the adopted child will be grown up. Isn't this just right for providing for our retirement?" Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said, "You know how much it costs to raise a child. Besides, what if the child doesn't respect us after we raise him? What if the child's biological parents come to look for us?"

Yi Zhonghai lit a cigarette for himself, took a long puff and said, "Dongxu is a different kid. He is filial and sensible. I think there's nothing wrong with us letting Dongxu take care of us in our old age."
