Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Liu Chunhua was slapped several times on the face, and she felt bad. She quickly got up and started to fight with Jia Zhang. Jia Dongxu, who was standing by, opened his eyes wide and said with a dark face, "Chunhua, what do you want to do? Let my mother go quickly, she is your mother-in-law."

Liu Chunhua knew that if she continued to be cowardly, this old man would definitely become more aggressive. It would be better for her to establish her authority first, since he never cared about his reputation. She pulled Jia Zhang's hair and said angrily, "Who do you think you are? My father couldn't bear to beat me when I was at home. Do you really think that I will be sold to your family just because I marry into your old Jia family?"

Liu Chunhua worked in the steel mill all year round, and he was very strong. He was much stronger than Jia Zhangshi. After a while, Jia Zhangshi was pressed to the ground and burst into tears. Jia Dongxu tried to persuade Liu Chunhua, but Liu Chunhua didn't care at all. She pouted and said, "Go back to where you came from. Why didn't you say anything when your mother beat me just now?"

After hearing that Liu Chunhua had beaten his mother-in-law, Yi Zhonghai hurried out of his house. Seeing the people at the door of the Jia family, especially seeing Jia Zhang's miserable appearance. Although Yi Zhonghai hated Jia Zhang very much, and even often cursed Jia Zhang to die early behind her back, it was impossible for him to let Liu Chunhua beat Jia Zhang. A younger generation beating an elder was something Yi Zhonghai could never allow.

Yi Zhonghai yelled, "Stop it now, Dongxu, pull your wife away from me." It was obvious that Jia Dongxu alone could not pull the two men apart. Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu who was stronger and said, "Zhu, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you go over and help? Why are you just standing here watching the fun?"

He Yuzhu snorted coldly, feeling very disdainful in his heart. He would not care about the matter between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family? What if the human brain really beats the dog brain? Seeing He Yuzhu motionless, Yi Zhonghai knew that he could not order He Yuzhu. He looked at Yan Jiecheng on the side, thought for a while, and said to Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui, "Old Liu and Old Yan, quickly ask your sons to help. If this matter really gets out, you and I will be in trouble."

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui thought about it and agreed, and quickly asked their sons to pull the two apart. Liu Haizhong came over with a big belly, looked at the Jia family's mother-in-law and asked, "What's going on? Why are you fighting again?" Yi Zhonghai's face was very gloomy, so gloomy that water was about to drip out. He said with a dark face, "No matter what the reason is, the younger generation can never hit the elders. Let's hold a general meeting tonight to discuss today's matter. We must nip this habit of disrespecting the elderly in the bud."

Liu Haizhong nodded. After all, it was not too late. If they delayed any longer, they would definitely be late. He Yuzhu rode away on his bicycle first. It was really convenient to have a bicycle. This made the other people in the yard envious. They all wondered whether they should buy a bicycle too.

Jia Zhang was slapped on the face by her daughter-in-law, and she felt aggrieved. Jia Zhang burst into tears, and no one knew what she was crying about. Maybe she was crying for the bitterness of her fate, or for the unfilial behavior of her daughter-in-law. Or maybe it was both. Jia Zhang, who was always strong-willed, burst into tears, which made the ladies in the yard look at each other in bewilderment.

Bai Xiuying came over and tried to comfort Jia Zhang. But Jia Zhang was a person who didn't know how to appreciate kindness. She thought Bai Xiuying wanted to see her in a good mood. Plus, she was very angry this morning, so she took it out on Bai Xiuying. She looked at Bai Xiuying with a fake smile and said, "You old hen that doesn't lay eggs, you want to see me make a fool of myself? I tell you, that's impossible."

Listening to Jia Zhang's words, Bai Xiuying felt as if her heart was pierced by several knives. Tears flowed from her eyes, and she ran away, covering her face. The people around her shook their heads helplessly. Could it be that Jia Zhang really didn't know how to appreciate kindness? In the future, she had to stay away from Jia Zhang to avoid being entangled by him.

Qin Huairu saw this scene in the crowd, and she felt speechless now. She had really broadened her horizons after marrying into the city. She always felt that the people in Qinjiazhuang were a hundred or a thousand times kinder than those in the courtyard. She shook her head helplessly, took the dirty sheets at home, and came to the middle courtyard to wash them.

Today's weather is still good, and the housewives at home will take out the dirty clothes at home to wash. In those days, there were no washing machines, and they all washed by hand. The more advanced ones used glutinous rice water to wash clothes. Glutinous rice water has a very strong ability to remove dirt. After the washed clothes are dried, there will be a light fragrance of glutinous rice.

Aunt Yan squatted beside Qin Huairu and washed clothes, and from time to time she secretly took the laundry detergent added by Qin Huairu and rubbed it on her own clothes. Although Qin Huairu was a little unhappy, she thought about it and felt that it was really unwise to offend Aunt Yan for such a trivial matter. She shook her head helplessly. This Aunt Yan really liked to take advantage of others.

Qin Huairu washed clothes in the middle courtyard for an hour, then hung them on the clothes rack and prepared to go home. She had to go to the vegetable market this afternoon to buy some Chinese cabbage to pickle this year's sauerkraut. Just as she was about to go out, she was stopped by Jia Zhang. Although she had her husband's support behind her, she was still afraid of this old man.

There was some fear in Qin Huairu's tone. She looked at the old woman and said, "Aunt Zhang, what can I do for you?" Jia Zhang rolled her eyes, which seemed very arrogant. In fact, she really looked down on Qin Huairu, who came from the countryside. Her daughter-in-law had a city hukou and a job in a steel mill. She could see that her son was still interested in Qin Huairu, so she smiled and said, "Qin Huairu, I advise you to stay away from my son in the future. There is no way I will let you marry into our family."
