Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Chapter 60: Envy from Haitang

After eating and drinking, He Yushui and Yu Haitang went to He Yushui's room. Yu Haitang lay on He Yushui's bed without any image and said, "Wow, Yushui, your room is really nice. What is this on the bed? It feels so soft!"

He Yushui put it on the stool, took a look at it and said, "That's what my brother brought over. It seems to be called a Simmons mattress! It feels great to sleep on it every day. Haitang, feel it, it's much smoother than silk." Yu Haitang nodded. She lay on He Yushui's bed as if she was lying on the clouds.

She couldn't help but think of her own family. Her father, Yu Deshan, was just an ordinary worker. Her family also had only two rooms. She and her sister were squeezed into one room. Looking at the blanket on He Yushui's bed and the furnishings in He Yushui's room, Yu Haitang felt jealous. He Yushui took out some milk slices from the cabinet and said, "This is the milk slice my brother bought for me. Haitang, try it."

Yu Haitang carefully picked up a milk slice with two fingers and put it in her mouth to smell the milk fragrance. Yu Haitang squinted her eyes happily, feeling the delicious taste. A trace of saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth, and she wiped it with her sleeves awkwardly. He Yushui was very generous to her little sister.

Yu Haitang waited until it was almost dark before she reluctantly followed her sister. Most of the guests at the banquet had already left, and Mo Xiangtian said to Qin Huairu, "Xiao Qin, your master's wife and I will leave first." Qin Huairu struggled to see off his master and a group of senior brothers, and then walked back to the middle courtyard.

Yan Fugui handed the share money sent by each household to Qin Huairu and said, "Xiao Qin, this is the share money collected today. Zhuzi got drunk today, so I will give the share money to you." Qin Huairu nodded, took out 5 cents from her pocket, handed it to Yan Fugui and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you today, Uncle. Please tell each household that if everyone doesn't mind the leftovers, they can take them home and eat them."

Qin Huairu was also generous for once, which was what He Yuzhu had reminded her before she got drunk. Yan Fugui's old face suddenly smiled like a chrysanthemum and said, "Don't despise me, don't despise me, this is the dish made by Master Mo himself. Old woman, and you three naughty monkeys, hurry up and help pack it up."

Someone in the yard had already taken the lead, and immediately each household began to fight for the food. Sister Hua shouted, "Who shamelessly took the food on our plate? Don't grab it, don't grab it. That plate is ours, and the food on it is ours." Aunt Er curled her lips and said, "Who would listen to your gossip now? Whoever grabs it now gets it. The quicker the hand, the better.

Yan Fugui also started to fight for food with a bunch of old ladies. Aunt Liu saw that she couldn't win over Yan Fugui and said, "Old Yan, you are still a teacher. Do you know what ladies first means? You are so shameless to fight for food with us old ladies?" Yan Fugui didn't care about that. He had to put these things in his pocket.

There was a lot of scrambling in the yard. The people in the courtyard didn't get much food, but a lot of food was wasted because of being pushed to the ground. There were also many bowls and plates thrown to the ground, which attracted many women's curses.

In He Yuzhu's home, He Yuzhu was already drunk and unconscious. Qin Huairu struggled to bring a basin of water and wiped her husband's face. He Yushui walked in carefully, looked at her brother lying on the kang, and asked her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, what happened to your brother?" He Yushui looked at her sister-in-law and said, "Your brother drank too much today. Yushui, have you eaten enough today?"

He Yushui nodded, patted her belly happily and said, "I'm full, sister-in-law, how about you?" Qin Huairu smiled and nodded, looked at He Yushui with drunken eyes and said, "Your brother and sister-in-law are already drunk today, can you sleep alone tonight?"

He Yushui nodded. Although she was young, she had already been able to be independent in many aspects. Seeing that her sister-in-law was in pain, He Yushui poured a cup of water. Qin Huairu took a sip, patted He Yushui's head and said, "Sister-in-law is already sleepy, you can go back to your room and sleep when it gets dark!" Qin Huairu felt that her double eyelids were very heavy, and she also fell asleep next to He Yuzhu.

He Yushui sighed. She was such a small person that she certainly couldn't move her brother and sister-in-law. She left her brother and sister-in-law's house, closed the door, and went to play in the yard. Sun Juan in the front yard pulled her husband to a corner and asked, "Brother Su, we are getting married now, when are we going to hold the wedding banquet?"

Su Manzi was stunned at first, then scratched his head and asked, "Ah, do we need to hold a wedding banquet?" Sun Juan looked at her husband blankly and asked, "Look at what you said. Have you ever seen a family marrying a daughter-in-law without a wedding banquet? Don't forget, when we went back to my mother's house yesterday, you reported it to my father. My father and my two brothers will come at that time."

Su Manzi thought for a while and said, "I need to discuss this with my mother." Sun Juan glared at her husband and said, "It's the two of us living together, not you and your mother. Can you be a little more manly? Look at Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu's wedding today. I don't expect to have an identical wedding, but you have to give me some face!"

Sun Juan was very angry now. If she had known this man was like this, she would not have coveted the salary of a fourth-level fitter. She thought this man made a lot of money and she could enjoy a good life after marrying to the city. She didn't expect him to be a silver-like wax spear head. Every day, my mother said, my mother said. Such a man without manliness, he is really rare?

Su Manzi thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, okay, let's go home and discuss it with my mother. We can try to have a wedding, there's no need to be so stingy." Sun Juan nodded in satisfaction, looked at her husband and asked, "Boss, since we're getting married, should we buy a bicycle too?"

Su Manzi scratched his head. He actually wanted a bicycle. In this era, bicycles were equivalent to Rolls-Royce in the future. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, let's talk to my mother now?" Sun Juan pulled Su Manzi and said, "Let's go out for a walk first. I haven't had a good time in Beijing yet." She really didn't want to face Su's mother's ugly face again.
