Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Blacksmith Sun stood aside with a shovel in his hand, glaring at them. The Yan brothers were no exception, and they took a few bricks from somewhere. Several young men who had not yet left the courtyard also looked at the Xu brothers with their weapons in their hands. Xu Sanhu said in a youthful and aggressive manner, "Hey, what do you guys want to do? Do you want to have a group fight with us three brothers? Do you think you can beat us three brothers with your thin arms and legs?"

Xu Lide snorted coldly and said, "Humph, you three young men. If you beat up the Jia family mother and son, the residents in our courtyard will not say anything. But Lao Liu is the head of our courtyard. If you beat up the head of our courtyard, wouldn't it be like slapping the faces of all our residents?"

Liu Haizhong's face had turned very dark, and he glared at Xu Sanhu coldly. Xu Sanhu didn't take these young people in the yard seriously at all. In his subconscious, he thought that people in the city were pampered and knew what fighting was. But these people were incredible, often fighting with people from the neighboring village over the order of watering in spring.

This situation is not uncommon, and it is no longer surprising. The three brothers of the Xu family are invincible in the countryside, and they are extremely contemptuous of these weaklings. The shrewd Xu Dahu believes that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, so he cupped his fists to the people in the yard and said with a smile, "My little brother has a violent personality. I apologize to this elder brother on his behalf. He was just angry and didn't control his temper."

Xu Dahu glared at Xu Sanhu and said, "You little bastard, why don't you apologize to this old brother?" Xu Sanhu wanted to refuse, but seeing his brother's sullen face, he could only nod reluctantly. He bowed to Liu Haizhong, then cupped his fist and said, "My dear old brother, I was wrong just now. Please forgive me."

Liu Haizhong felt his vanity satisfied and nodded with great satisfaction. Xu Dahu said to Yi Zhonghai, "This elder brother is the head of the courtyard. What do you think about what happened yesterday? It is impossible for my sister to be played with by your apprentice. We still have a lot of things to do at home. If he really dares not to marry my sister today, don't blame us brothers for being ruthless."

Xu Damao smiled and said gloatingly, "Hey, Jia Dongxu, I think you should marry Xu Erni. The crime of having an affair is a serious one. Do you want to go to the police station?" Yi Zhonghai sighed. He had just secretly gone to Liu Shu to put the money.

After observing for a long time, he did not find anyone taking money from the tree hole. Thinking that it was almost time to go to work, he hurried over to get ready to go to work with his clothes. As soon as he came back, he encountered such a bad thing. Yi Zhonghai said, "Dongxu, you are now in your 20s. You are also an adult, and adults must be responsible for what they have done. If this matter is reported to the police, you will definitely lose your job. That's all I have to say. You don't have to go to work today. Solve this matter quickly."

Yi Zhonghai said to Xu Dahu again, "As the saying goes, even a fair judge cannot judge family affairs. I still have to go to work at the steel mill. Your family should discuss it with Jia Dongxu's family. Okay, everyone, stop standing here to watch the fun. You all don't pay attention to the time. Hurry up, you're going to be late."

The people who were watching the excitement in the courtyard were stunned for a moment, and then they all raised their heads to look up at the sky. They found that they were really going to be late, and they started shouting and yelling. They scolded their wives for not reminding them of the time, and secretly cursed for such a thing happening so early in the morning. They hurriedly put on their clothes and hurried to work. If they didn't go to work, they would be really late.

In an instant, most people in the courtyard ran away, leaving only the older girls and young wives at home. Liu Gen sat aside to watch the fun. Anyway, he didn't have to go out to work, so it would be a waste not to watch the fun of the Jia family. After Yang Ruihua coaxed his little daughter to sleep, he also took a stool to the middle courtyard to watch the fun.

Aunt Liu saw Yang Ruihua coming and quickly came over with a smile and said, "Old Yang, why are you here? Isn't your little daughter at home waiting for you?" Yang Ruihua smiled and waved her hand and said, "My daughter has fallen asleep. I am here to have a good look at the fun. Old Jia is really in a dilemma now. It seems that he must marry this country widow."

Aunt Liu chuckled. She had always been at odds with Jia Zhang of the Jia family. Seeing their old family in trouble, Aunt Liu was very happy. Aunt Liu smiled, and a mocking look appeared on her old face. She said bluntly, "Who asked Jia Dongxu to be greedy? If the Xu family really reports this to the police, Jia Dongxu will definitely be in big trouble. He should be sentenced to prison, don't you think?"

Jia Dongxu sighed, knowing that this was the only way to deal with it. He nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, let's get married today. This should be fine." Xu Erni was crying beside him, looking quite weak. This scene not only stunned the men who stayed in the courtyard, but also some women felt very sympathetic towards Xu Erni.

This is an era where reputation is more important than anything else. If someone's reputation is ruined, then that person is doomed. No matter what you do, people around you will point fingers at you. Jia Dongxu was scolded for being a worthless person who forced such an honest woman into this state.

Xu Erni took out a handkerchief from her pocket at some point, and while wiping the tears from her eyes, she said, "Dongxu, after I marry you, I will definitely give birth to a big fat boy for you. I know you look down on me, I'm just a wild girl from the countryside. But I really like you, I've liked you since the first time I saw you."

Jia Dongxu listened to Xu Erni's almost straightforward confession, and the slight unhappiness in his heart had long disappeared without a trace. Especially when he heard that Xu Erni was going to give birth to a son for him, the curve of his mouth could not be concealed. Regardless of the expressions of the people around him, he grabbed Xu Erni's hand and said, "Don't worry, as long as you follow me in the future, you will definitely be able to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."
