Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Xu Lide chuckled. Although his son had no talent for studying, he was smart like his father. But his intelligence was often not used in the right way, which sometimes made Xu Lide feel very uncomfortable. Mao Shunhua brought two bowls of porridge and said with a smile, "Daddy, eat quickly."

The family of three took the steamed bread from the bamboo basket and ate it with cornmeal porridge. Xu Damao's breakfast was also very good, and it was one of the best in the courtyard. The father and son chatted while eating, and they got along very well.

Inside He Yuzhu's house, the couple closed the door and burst out laughing. He Yuzhu gave his wife a thumbs up and said, "Oh, my wife, you were really awesome just now. You must cry now, or someone who doesn't know will think I bullied you. Do you think Yi Zhonghai will believe it?"

Qin Huairu said with a red face, "We will go our separate ways later. I happened to be delivering rainwater this morning. Let the people in the courtyard know that we really had a quarrel just now. It's a good opportunity to let Aunt Yang, the big mouth, spread the word. We can come back together tonight and say that we reconciled in the steel mill. In this way, this vaccination will work."

He Yuzhu nodded and praised with a smile, "My wife is right. So, I will just skip breakfast this morning and ride my bike away. This makes it seem more real. What do you think, wife?"

Qin Huairu thought about it. Although her husband was right, how could he not eat? He Yuzhu felt that his idea was right. Qin Huairu took He Yuzhu's hand and said with concern, "You should eat something. What if you get hungry early in the morning?"

He Yuzhu smiled and waved his hand and said, "You, there is no need to worry about me. Besides, what do I do? I am a cook. How can I be hungry?" After talking to Qin Huairu for a few more words, He Yuzhu pushed the bicycle beside him and walked out of the house.

Bicycles were very precious these days, and every household treated them as treasures. At night, they would put the bicycles in the house to prevent those who were jealous from stealing or damaging them. He Yuzhu was not the only one who did this, as every household with a bicycle would do the same.

He Yuzhu walked out of the house with a gloomy face, and as soon as he went out, he was greeted by Jia Zhang's smiling face. He Yuzhu ignored Jia Zhang, but Jia Zhang came over shamelessly. She ignored He Yuzhu's expression and said with a grin, "Zhuzi, I heard that you quarreled with your wife early in the morning. I want to talk to you..."

Although she was lecturing non-stop, anyone could see that the old woman Jia Zhang was gloating over someone else's misfortune. Jia Dongxu woke Jia Zhang up early this morning. Jia Zhang was going to get angry. What did he want to do by waking her up so early in the morning? It wasn't until Jia Dongxu told her about the quarrel between He Yuzhu and his wife that Jia Zhang's eyes lit up and she regretted not getting up to watch the excitement.

She lost her desire to sleep, and put on her clothes to inquire about the situation in the middle courtyard. The more she inquired, the happier she became. If the people in the courtyard resented He Yuzhu for having a ranking list, then she, Jia Zhang, was the one who was fighting for the second place. As long as He Yuzhu and his wife were not doing well, she, Jia Zhang, was quite happy. Aren't they here to see the jokes of He Yuzhu and his wife?

Jia Zhang kept talking to He Yuzhu until she said, "I tell you, marrying a country girl is not a good idea. I think you two should get a divorce. Although you are not good-looking and your job is not that good..." He Yuzhu could not stand it anymore and cursed, "Mrs. Jia, what happened between us is none of your business. Do you need to meddle in other people's business? Go to where you want to be."

The people watching the fun burst out laughing. It was also a pleasure to see Jia Zhang being humiliated. Jia Zhang's face turned red after being scolded. She said with a sullen face, "I, I, I am your elder, how can you talk to me like this? I am being considerate of you..."

He Yuzhu smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's okay. You should take care of your own son, apprentice Master Jia." After saying this, He Yuzhu ignored Jia Zhangshi and went to work in a flash, pushing his bicycle. The young girls and wives in the courtyard were left to discuss in whispers, many of whom were gloating.

Ma Xiaoya said to Yang Niuniu who was standing beside her, "Qin Huairu is in trouble this time. She didn't expect that such a small matter would make He Yuzhu so angry?" Yang Niuniu said, "Although it's just a small matter, He Yuzhu and He Daqing didn't get along well. He Daqing is so shameless that he actually abandoned his children for a widow. If this happened to me, I wouldn't be able to accept it either."

Ma Xiaoya gossiped, "Do you think today's incident will make them divorce?" Yang Niuniu thought for a while and shook her head, "It's not that serious yet." Yang Niuniu felt something was wrong, and looked Ma Xiaoya up and down and said, "Xiaoya, what do you mean by this? Do you have feelings for He Yuzhu? That's impossible."

Ma Xiaoya smiled bitterly and said, "He is the canteen director. How could he look down on a wild girl like me from the country? I am just speaking the truth. He Daqing is a taboo for He Yuzhu. Mentioning He Daqing is like rubbing salt into the knife for He Yuzhu, isn't it?"

Yang Niuniu curled her lips and said, "I don't think it's possible to get a divorce for such a small matter. Just give up on this idea. Besides, as long as Qin Huairu takes the initiative at night, He Yuzhu will definitely not be willing to get a divorce."

Ma Xiaoya looked around and said, "You also heard the noises from the He family at night." Yang Niuniu laughed and cried and said, "Our house is so close to the He family, how could we not hear it? This Qin Huairu is really enjoying herself. Thinking about that dead ghost at home, she is so angry. If that dead ghost in our family has half the ability of Master He, I will wake up laughing in my dreams in the future."
