Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

A woman's tears can not only arouse the sympathy of a man, but also the women in the courtyard look at Jia Zhang with unkind eyes. As a complete shrew, Jia Zhang really didn't expect that her new daughter-in-law would dare to play dirty tricks behind her back. She subconsciously regretted it. She was not stupid and knew that her new daughter-in-law was very scheming.

She wanted her son to speak for her, but when she saw her son Jia Dongxu looking at Xu Erni lovingly, she couldn't stand the anger in her heart. She wanted to slap her son in the face and let him know what a mother's anger was. But reality told her that if she really dared to do this, her son would definitely not let her go.

She wanted to explain to the neighbors in the courtyard that she was not an unreasonable person. But seeing the shifting eyes of the people around her, Jia Zhang was panicked. At this time, He Yuzhu in the crowd thought for a while, coughed and said, "Jia Dongxu, didn't you see that your wife was scolded and cried by your mother? Hurry up and comfort your wife. We men can't let our wives cry again."

Jia Zhang glared at He Yuzhu fiercely and wanted to curse him at the top of her voice. But she looked at her son again and gritted her teeth and said, "Son, don't listen to the little bastard Shazhu. He wants to alienate the relationship between us. Don't fall into his trap, my son."

Jia Dongxu helped Xu Erni up, and his gentle appearance made those who knew Jia Dongxu in the courtyard look at him with a new eye. He glared at Jia Zhangshi, but didn't say anything. Helping Xu Erni, the couple walked into the house. Jia Zhangshi was panicked, she didn't expect her son to dare to treat her like this. She was so angry that she wanted to lose her temper on the spot, but then she thought about her son's eyes, and hurriedly walked back home with her short legs.

Qin Huairu shook his head helplessly. It was obvious that Xu Erni had done this on purpose. But what did this have to do with him? It was still the best thing to live a good life with her husband. She followed He Yuzhu back to her home and started cooking again with an apron on.

Yi Zhonghai was a little lost when he returned home, which frightened Bai Xiuying. Bai Xiuying patted the back of her husband's hand and said with a sad face, "Old Yi, you can't be in trouble. If you are in trouble, what will I do in the future?"

Yi Zhonghai's head was full of black lines. He glared at his wife fiercely and said with a smile, "No, you, what are you doing? I'm alive and well, why are you crying for me?" Bai Xiuying was a little embarrassed. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Zhonghai, you, you are okay, right?"

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said, "What can I do? I'm just wondering, can Jia Dongxu really provide for us in our old age?" He took a cigarette from the table beside him and lit it for himself. He took a puff of the cigarette, sighed and said, "This kid, I always feel a little worried."

Bai Xiuying thought for a while and said, "What should we do? Why don't we go to the orphanage and adopt two children?" Yi Zhonghai was a little skeptical about the adoption his wife often talked about. Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said, "I don't know what kind of children we bring in from outside are. If their parents come back and take them away, wouldn't our efforts be in vain?"

Bai Xiuying sighed. Actually, she thought that adopting a child was a very good thing. But she had to listen to her husband. She said with a rather unpleasant expression, "If what you said can't provide for our old age, then who can we rely on in this courtyard? Shazhu? I think that Shazhu has been disdainful of you since He Daqing left. I think we should let Shazhu provide for our old age, and you should stop dreaming."

Yi Zhonghai's face was a little dark, but what his wife said was not without reason. He nodded helplessly, and his scalp began to hurt even more. Not knowing what to do? He took a sip of tea and said, "I'll go find Old Lady Long, you stay home alone and cook."

Bai Xiuying frowned. She felt that Old Lady Long was of no use to her husband and wife except for eating and drinking. Her husband still needed her to take care of her three meals a day. Bai Xiuying was very angry. But she had no say in the family and could only turn a blind eye.

Yi Zhonghai walked to the door of Mrs. Long's house with his hands behind his back and knocked on the door. A slightly panicked voice came from inside the house, "Who is it?" Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Grandma, are you resting? It's me, Zhonghai. I have something to talk to you about."

Old Mrs. Long coughed and said, "Ah, I'm a little inconvenient. Please come back later. I'm old and need to have a good sleep." Yi Zhonghai didn't notice anything and could only say helplessly, "Okay, you should have a good rest first."

Yi Zhonghai was a little helpless. He had originally wanted to ask Old Lady Long for some advice. He had not expected Old Lady Long to go to bed so early. Perhaps it was because older people sleep more. Yi Zhonghai did not say anything.

Inside Mrs. Long's house, a middle-aged man with a square face and a beard held a knife against Mrs. Long's chin. Mrs. Long forced an awkward smile and said, "Well, can you put the knife aside? We have known each other for so many years. There is no need to keep it from me."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "Everyone in the old Sijiu City knows how powerful you, Yanzhihu, are. But I dare not do that. There must be dozens of people who have died at your hands. You must be surprised that I am still alive after all these years. Where is the treasure map? If you don't tell me today, then you..."

Old Lady Long curled her lips and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I don't want to waste so much time talking to you. It's come to this, and I don't need to hide anything. But don't think you can take the treasure map so easily. The treasure in it doesn't just belong to you, it belongs to all of us. You are really shameless, if you have the guts, take that broken knife of yours and cut my throat. Don't think I, Yanzhihu, was scared."
