Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Bai Xiuying coughed, thought for a moment and said, "Huai Ru, I am a little unhappy when you talk like this. The old lady is the oldest in our courtyard. The so-called respecting the old and loving the young is the most beautiful virtue in our country. We should respect her and listen to what she says. You have just married into our courtyard and it has not been long. You should listen more to us old people. Don't blame his mother for saying that to you. Isn't this how we women get through it?"

When Jia Zhang heard that Bai Xiuying, who never cared about the affairs of the courtyard, also spoke for her, she rolled her eyes and immediately pretended to be an elder and preached, "That's right, don't you understand the principle that a daughter-in-law will eventually become a mother-in-law after many years? Will we old people hurt you? We old people are old, so you young people must treat us well? You should quickly compensate the money and apologize to me. I am magnanimous and will definitely forgive you."

Jia Zhang's mouth looked quite proud, but what she didn't see was that the eyes of the young people in the courtyard were full of anger. It was right to respect the elders in one's family, and it was right to respect the old and love the young in one's family. If this happened in the whole courtyard, and an old person could talk about himself, they would go crazy.

Sun Juan and Qin Huairu have always been at odds, but she also knew that if Qin Huairu was at a disadvantage in today's incident, she, who had just married in, would also be implicated. He Yuzhu's family had no parents, and she had a mother-in-law. Sun Juan thought for a moment and said, "Respect the old and love the young? That should refer to your own family, right? We young people should respect our own elders, why should we lump all the older people in the yard together?"

Su's mother glared. She felt that her daughter-in-law's words were aimed at her. She wanted to teach her daughter-in-law a lesson. When she was young, she was also bullied by her mother-in-law. Now that she is a mother-in-law, she must pay back the suffering she suffered in the past. Sun Juan is not afraid of her mother-in-law. Now it is a new society. The old concepts in the past are not practical at all.

Don't even think about treating me like a beast of burden to serve my husband's family. This is what my father, who was the village party secretary, told me before I married to the city. It seems that there is an organization called Women's Federation in the city. If I really get angry, I will go to the Women's Federation to ask about the situation.

Ma Xiaoya also nodded. She also had no parents-in-law above her. The couple loved each other very much and didn't want to have two more elders above them when they woke up one morning. She echoed Qin Huairu and said, "Yes, we should be filial to our own parents. It's enough to just greet the elderly in the yard. Young people should be filial to their own elderly. Why do they care about so many trivial matters? They will naturally be filial to their own elderly."

The words of these two people made some older people feel that they made sense. They were old now and did not want to burden their children. They were all experienced and could see the little tricks that old lady Yi Zhonghai had been doing in private over the years. If this matter had not been in their hands, they would not have such a big opinion. After all, everyone knows that one should take care of the snow in front of his own door and not worry about the frost on other people's roofs.

The words of the aunt caused resistance from most of the young people in the courtyard. They were not stupid. It was difficult to support several elderly people in the family. If they really recognized a few elders who were not related by blood, the pressure would definitely crush them to death. The faces of the aunt and the old lady were full of panic. They didn't expect that the aunt said a few words to Qin Huairu, and Qin Huairu didn't do anything. All the young people in the courtyard rebelled at once.

Qin Huairu said with a smile, "It seems that the young people in our courtyard have the same opinion as me. I, Qin Huairu, am not saying that respecting the elderly and loving the young is wrong, but these four words must be applied to one's own family. The survival pressure of each of our households is already very great. Young people go out to work, and they don't want to see a few inexplicable elders when they come back from get off work. My man often says that young people must be energetic, but too many negative emotions also affect the progress of young people."

The young girls and wives thought about it and nodded. Now their husbands have gone out to earn money to support the family. The monthly income is barely enough to support their wives and children. If there are any more elders who point fingers at them, they will go crazy. Ma Xiaoya smiled and nodded and said, "Huai Ru is right. We should support our own elders. As for others, our family is not that generous anyway."

Yang Cuiniu also nodded. As a woman who married into the city from the countryside, she had few opportunities to visit her parents in the countryside. It was difficult for her to even support her own parents, let alone other people with whom she had no family ties. This old lady Long did not have the same prestige in the courtyard as she did later. Now she was just an ordinary old lady.

Old Lady Long was so angry that she almost fainted. How could Qin Huairu be so sharp-tongued? But now, looking at the angry young people, what did she want to say? But she couldn't. The words in her mouth turned into a cold snort, and she said to Bai Xiuying beside her, "Xiuying, help me walk. People who are unfilial to the elderly will definitely be punished in the future."

Qin Huairu squinted her eyes and looked at the back of Mrs. Long. She felt that there was something behind what the old lady said! Qin Huairu thought that the words should be changed to those who are not filial to her old lady will be punished. This old lady is quite smart. Isn't she just trying to build some prestige for herself? Qin Huairu is naturally not a fool. Her man has talked to him so much during this period. If she can't figure out these ideas, wouldn't it be like living in vain?

Qin Huairu was very grateful to Ma Xiaoya for speaking for her, and the two women wanted to go in and chat. Jia Zhang said unwillingly, "Qin Huairu, you must pay compensation, otherwise I will call the police." Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Go ahead, I just kicked you in the stomach. Your leg hurts, I just want to remind you, if you dare to call the police falsely, you will be punished."
