Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Wait for Shazhu to return to the courtyard with the vegetables.

Qin Huairu and others had already been waiting at home.

When Qin Huairu saw Sha Zhu coming back with so much meat and vegetables, she could hardly take her eyes away.

"Bring one for Bang Geng. That guy is kind-hearted. He bought me a pack of cigarettes when he got his salary last month. Go to the backyard and ask dad to come over to eat with us. It's hard to resist this kind of food in such a hot day."

"Dad just came back and has already eaten and gone to sleep."

Qin Huairu took a lunch box and packed some of each item and gave it to Banggeng.

Xiaodang Huaihua and He Xiao went back to the house and moved the table out to prepare to eat in the yard.

The weather is still very hot now, and many people choose to eat outside.

When Qin Huairu came back, the children had already started eating impatiently.

"Zhu Zi, did Yan Jiecheng really ask you to bring the food back?"

Qin Huairu was a little surprised, and then she understood Yan Jiecheng's meticulousness, which was even better than his teacher's.

It's hard to imagine letting Shazhu get the upper hand.

"Hey, it's all settled. Yan Jiecheng doesn't dare to go back on his word, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hire a chef like me."

Qin Huairu was very happy. Her life had been getting better and better since she started following Sha Zhu.

Where have I ever had the chance to eat such delicious food before?

The family was having dinner when Liu Haizhong and Li Xianglan happened to come back from outside.

Seeing Liu Haizhong, Sha Zhu deliberately greeted him and said:

"Uncle, you're back so late. Have you eaten?"

Liu Haizhong turned his head away and didn't look at Sha Zhu's expression.

He and Sha Zhu have always been at odds with each other. Now that he is in poverty and Sha Zhu is living a good life, he feels upset.

Li Xianglan didn't want to pay any attention to Sha Zhu, and just supported Liu Haizhong and walked to the backyard.

"So many years have passed, why do you still have to argue with an old man? We live in the same yard."

Qin Huairu advised from the side that she just wanted to live a stable life now and didn't want Sha Zhu to offend too many people.

"Hey, that old guy is not a good person. Anyway, I don't like him."

Sha Zhu has always been resentful of what Liu Haizhong did to him.

It's good enough that he just made a few sarcastic remarks and didn't add insult to injury.

As Sha Zhu was speaking, Yan Fugui happened to be walking towards the backyard.

When he saw Sha Zhu's table full of delicious dishes, he was stunned.

"Silly Zhu! You live too extravagantly. All five dishes are meat dishes."

"Second uncle, would you like to have a drink?"

Seeing Yan Fugui standing aside with his mouth about to drool, Qin Huairu simply invited him to sit down.

Although Sha Zhu was not happy about it, he would not chase anyone out.

"Huai Ru is still very generous. I won't be polite then."

Yan Fugui took advantage of the situation and sat down directly.

Qin Huairu poured a glass of wine for Yan Fugui, and Yan Fugui took it and prepared to take a sip before eating some food.

But he was stopped by Shazhu.

"Second uncle, let me say something first. Believe it or not, you won't be able to drink this wine after I finish speaking."

Yan Fugui also became interested.

He really didn't believe that Sha Zhu's words could stop him from drinking the wine. You know, he was very thick-skinned.

"Then you say it and I listen."

Sha Zhu pointed at the delicious dishes on the table and said with a smile:

"Guess where I got this dish?"

"Where did it come from?"

"It's where I work at night. I brought it back from the restaurant where your daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law work."

Yan Fugui was stunned for a moment.

He thought that this dish was made by Shazhu himself, but it turned out that his son brought it back from the restaurant.

Sha Zhu continued to stab Yan Fugui in the heart:

"Uncle, please tell me yourself. Since your son opened this restaurant, have you ever eaten his food?"

Sha Zhu's words were like cutting several knives in Yan Fugui's heart and rubbing several pounds of salt on it.

Yan Fugui is also a person who cares about face.

My son runs a restaurant but he never brings me leftovers.

But he was surprised that an outsider like him could bring food home.

And he had to take a whole table of food back.

Judging from the situation, he probably brings back a lot of good stuff.

His biological father is even worse than Sha Zhu, an outsider.

Yan Fu put the wine down directly, his expression was as miserable and ugly as it could be.

"I really can't drink this wine. You said my son runs a restaurant, I didn't eat a single bite but your He family got help, what's the matter?"

Yan Fugui was too embarrassed to stay there, so he stood up and walked towards the front yard.

He walked and cursed.

Looking at Yan Fugui like that, Sha Zhu couldn't help but smile triumphantly.

Qin Huairu pushed him in dissatisfaction:

"Why do you have to say these things to provoke the Second Master?"

"I just want to say that this old guy offended me before."

Sha Zhu also dislikes Yan Fugui, so it would be best if he could disgust him a little.

Yan Fugui got angrier and angrier when he got home.

In the end, I almost threw the cup.

Seeing his look, Second Auntie curiously asked him what was going on.

Yan Fugui briefly recounted the incident. Finally, he stood up in anger and said to his wife:

“Ruihua! Go call Jiecheng over! I have to ask him what this means! I raised him up, and this is how he treats his father?!”

Yang Ruihua was just as angry about his son refusing to give him a raise today, so he went to call Yan Jiecheng over.

When the couple arrived, they saw Yan Fugui and Yang Ruihua sitting there with their legs spread wide, looking at them with unfriendly faces.

Yan Jiecheng thought that this person came with bad intentions.

"Mom and Dad, what do you want to talk to me and Lily about?"

Yan Fugui directly asked:

"You recognize Shazhu as your brother?!"

Yan Jiecheng was somewhat puzzled by the question. How did he become brothers with Sha Zhucheng?

Yu Li said somewhat unhappily:

"Dad, just tell me what you want to say."

"No, no, don't call me dad. Just treat me as an old man in the courtyard. You said that Sha Zhu's family can have delicious food and drink together every day.

And I can only sniff my nose and smack my lips here, where is justice!"

Yang Ruihua on the side also said:

"That's right! Sha Zhu brings back those dishes from your restaurant every day and enjoys them in the courtyard every day. Sha Zhu gets so much salary every month, and he can still bring back so many dishes. Your mom also works in a restaurant, and I don't want four dishes either. If you bring back one dish for your dad to taste, it will be considered as a bit of filial piety on your part."

Yan Jiecheng was unhappy when he heard this.

"Mom, we didn't invite you to go. It was Dad who used the interest to force me to let you work for me. We had no choice but to fire someone and give you his salary.

But you, on the other hand, have been slacking off since you started working for me. You don't even work half as well as others. I'm too lazy to say anything to you! Didn't I say that we all need to do cost accounting? "
