Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

In the middle courtyard, the atmosphere of the old He family was very warm. The family of three sat on the big kang, lying down and patting their bellies without any image. Qin Huairu touched her belly and said in distress, "Oh, Zhuzi. I've almost gained weight recently. The food you cook is really delicious."

He Yushui nodded and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law is right, brother's cooking is really delicious. But my stomach is really too small, and I can't eat much." He Yuzhu picked his teeth with a toothpick and said, "If you two want to eat in the future, I will cook for you often."

The aunt and the sister-in-law nodded with a smile. Qin Huairu thought that she hadn't washed today's clothes yet, so she was about to struggle to sit up and wash them. But He Yuzhu stopped her and said, "It's already so late today, so you can wash the clothes tomorrow. There's no need to be so tired, just lie down and have a good rest."

Qin Huairu felt warm in her heart, but she still smiled bitterly and said, "Why should I be tired? You are tired after working all day. Zhuzi, why don't you find me a job in the city?" He Yuzhu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Yushui is still young and needs someone to take care of her. Besides, if we have children in a few years, there will be no one to take care of them."

He Yuzhu was lying beside Qin Huairu, stroking her hair while saying, "You don't have parents-in-law, so there's no need to put yourself in a difficult position. My monthly salary from the factory plus the money I make from sitting tables is at least nearly a hundred yuan. You don't have to go to work. Now an apprentice's salary is only about ten yuan. I can earn it back by taking one or two more banquets outside."

After hearing what her man said, Qin Huairu no longer refused. But she still said with a bitter face, "I see that you are very tired every day, so I want to share the burden with you." He Yuzhu said with a smile, "I am a man, and it is my duty as a man to earn money to support the family. You just need to do the housework at home and take good care of your sister."

Qin Huairu nodded and hugged her man's arms. Seeing He Yushui sleeping, she kissed him hard. Her little face was flushed and looked very cute. Just when He Yuzhu wanted to take further action, there was a knock on the door. He Yuzhu was very dissatisfied. Who was this? Why did they come to disturb the couple's interest at the most critical moment?

He Yuzhu ignored him and wanted to take the next step. The knocking on the door became louder, and he remembered Yi Zhonghai's hoarse voice, "Silly Zhu, silly Zhu, open the door for me." He Yuzhu's face was dark. This Yi Zhonghai was simply looking for death.

Seeing a wooden stick in the corner, he wanted to rush over and beat Yi Zhonghai with it. He really thought that he, He Yuzhu, was easy to bully. He had to teach Yi Zhonghai a profound lesson. Fearing that something might happen, Qin Huairu quickly grabbed her man. She shook her head like a rattle and said, "No, no, no, Zhuzi, calm down."

He Yuzhu was really annoyed. He opened the door with a gloomy face and cursed, "Old man, do you want to die? Do you really think I'm easy to bully? I must make you know why flowers are so red."

The crowd in the yard who were watching the excitement quickly came over, and they all watched this scene with a smile. They just regarded this scene as a play, using it to adjust the boring life. Yi Zhonghai said shakily, "Tomorrow tomorrow, ask your wife to clean the toilet for me. Jia Jia Zhang is so old, you young people should help her."

Yi Zhonghai said this without any psychological burden, but He Yuzhu was furious. He slapped Yi Zhonghai in the face without hesitation and cursed him. He shouted, "You son of a bitch, why don't you let your wife pick up manure? I have to teach you a lesson today, and I will teach you a lesson for bullying my wife and I all day long."

Aunt Bai Xiuying rushed out and blocked He Yuzhu like a hen hatching chicks and said, "Zhuzi, what do you want to do? Old Yi in our family is your elder, you are too lawless." He Yuzhu pointed at Yi Zhonghai, then pointed at Bai Xiuying and said, "You two are indeed a family. People from the same family stick together."

He Yuzhu pointed at Yi Zhonghai and said, "If another man asked you to carry manure, would you be happy? My wife and I have only been married for a few days, and he is asked to carry manure. Besides, isn't this the job that everyone in the courtyard asked Jia Zhang to do? Why should my wife do it? Oh, I have figured it out now. Your Yi Zhonghai is partial to one thing, and I don't know where his buttocks are."

He Yuzhu looked at the people around him, grinning, and said to everyone, "Did you see that, neighbors? How much our uncle loves his apprentice? His apprentice's mother was punished, but he didn't want to do it, but let the neighbor's wife in the same yard do it. How long has my wife been married? Have you ever seen a new daughter-in-law being asked to clean the toilet?"

He Yuzhu was really angry. He originally thought that Yi Zhonghai was a bad person, but he didn't expect that the old saying was true. It's true that people from the same family are like one another. This Bai Xiuying was not a good person at all. He Yuzhu secretly swore in his heart that he must teach this couple a lesson.

Bai Xiuying knew that her husband was being unreasonable, so she had to forcefully say, "Our Lao Yi is already so old, you can't bully him like this. Can't you just talk it out? Lao Yi is drunk today, and you are quite capable to argue with a drunk."

Qin Huairu on the side was not happy. Her husband stood up for her, so as a wife, she couldn't be a coward. He put his hands on his waist and said, "Auntie, what my husband said is wrong. If I remember correctly, the job of cleaning the toilet was agreed upon by everyone and was assigned to Aunt Jia. Why should I do it? My husband is right. Master Yi's butt is really crooked and can't be any crooked."

Yi Zhonghai said drunkenly, "Shazhu, you little bastard, why don't you listen to me? I am the manager of this courtyard, and I am also your elder! Isn't it better for you to be obedient and take care of me, Yi Zhonghai, in my old age? When I die, my property will be yours!"
