Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Jia Zhang was a flexible fat woman. When the water splashed out, she dodged to the side. The water brushed Jia Zhang's arm and fell to the ground. Just as Jia Zhang was about to start scolding, she saw Liu Guangtian rushing out with a broom.

Jia Zhang, who was a hero, did not want to suffer a loss in front of her, so she ran to the front yard while shouting, "Murder!" When Liu Guangtian ran to the corridor, the second aunt shouted, "Guangtian, come back!"

"Hey!" Liu Guangtian responded and went home with a broom.

When Jia Zhang ran to the door of her house, she happened to meet Qin Huairu who had just returned from outside. Jia Zhang, who had found an outlet to vent her anger, vented her anger at Qin Huairu, saying the most unpleasant words possible. If it were any other daughter-in-law who had some courage, she would have fought with Jia Zhang a long time ago.

Qin Huairu let Jia Zhang scold her, but she just lowered her head and shed tears silently. Yi Zhonghai heard Jia Zhang scolding and walked to the window. Seeing Qin Huairu's pitiful look, Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "With this Jia Zhang in the Jia family, it will fall apart sooner or later!"

Liu Guiying said: "I really don't understand why Qin Huairu likes Jia Dongxu?! If someone is interested, as long as they ask around, they will definitely not marry into this family."

Yi Zhonghai returned to the table, sat down and said, "I was not Jia Dongxu's master at that time. I guess she married Jia Dongxu because of me as her master. Besides, ten yuan was not a small gift at that time, and it also included a sewing machine."

Liu Guiying sighed and said, "Both men in the Jia family have broken their legs, and Jia Zhang is lazy and greedy. The hard times for this family are still to come."

Yi Zhonghai said: "Whether they are suffering or not has nothing to do with us now. We just need to live our own lives well."

Jia Zhang scolded for a while, probably because she was tired of scolding, or maybe because she was hungry, she shouted at Qin Huairu: "What are you still standing there for?! Why don't you go and cook?! Do you want to starve our family to death?!"

Qin Huairu wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, sucked back the remaining tears, and walked into the house with her head lowered.

"Mom! What did Liu Haizhong say?!" As soon as Jia Zhang entered the room, Jia Dongxu couldn't wait to ask.

Jia Zhang said, "Don't mention it! Liu Haizhong doesn't want to. He also said that the fundraising needs the approval of the street office, so we should go to the street office to apply."

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Jia Dongxu's face changed and he said, "This Liu Haizhong wants to drive our family away!"

Jia Zhang asked: "Dongxu, what do you mean by this?!"

Jia Dongxu said, "Our family does not meet the criteria for a poor family yet. If we go to the street office to apply for donations, they will not be able to find out about my father's pension. In addition, my leg is broken and I cannot go to work. You and Huairu are both registered in the countryside. They have enough reason to send our family back to our hometown."

"Ah?!" Jia Zhang was startled, and then she muttered, "This black-hearted, black-lung, black-bellied Liu Haizhong not only wants to help us, but also wants to harm us! His conscience is too bad!" Then she asked, "Dongxu, what should we do next?!"

Jia Dongxu sighed and said, "Now we can only take it one step at a time."

At this moment, Jia Zhang suddenly saw Xiao Dang sitting next to her, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "Dong Xu, how about we send Xiao Dang out?!"

Jia Dongxu thought about it, shook his head and said, "Now this matter is under strict investigation, let's just forget it!"

Qin Huairu moved quickly, and soon, she brought the food to the table. Jia Zhang looked at the bland dishes on the table and suddenly lost her appetite. She said, "Qin Huairu, can you change it up?! You don't get tired of eating this every day, but I do."

Qin Huairu said, "Mom, it's good to have this dish now. How about this, I will only do the laundry and cooking at home. The shopping for groceries will be left to you. I will cook whatever you buy, and we will eat it at home. What do you think?!"

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Jia Zhang was somewhat tempted. However, Jia Zhang quickly reacted and said, "I'm afraid I have to take care of Bang Geng. How can I have the time to buy vegetables?!"

Qin Huairu understood what Jia Zhang was thinking. Since Jia Zhang didn't respond, Qin Huairu didn't say much and reminded her, "Mom, don't forget to take Banggeng to the hospital tomorrow to see how his legs are doing. Also, don't forget to bring back the bill. I'll ask Dongxu to get reimbursed from the factory later."

"I know!" Jia Zhang replied impatiently, picked up a steamed bread, and asked, "Huai Ru, the front yard was so lively just now, what happened?!"

Qin Huairu replied, "Aren't the three sons of the Third Uncle grown up?! The house at home is not big enough, so they applied to the Street Office and rented two back houses in the front yard. The Street Office has no money to repair the house now, so the Third Uncle's family has to pay for the repair themselves."

Jia Zhang complained, "Yan Bugui has money to repair the house. Why doesn't he help our family?! I think he is just like Liu Haizhong, neither of them is a good person." Then Jia Zhang looked at Jia Dongxu and said, "Dongxu, our family only has this one room. What will we do when Banggeng grows up?! Otherwise, our family should apply to the street office to rent a back house in the front yard?!"

Qin Huairu said, "Mom! We can rent a house, but who will pay for the renovation? The street office won't pay for it. I just heard someone say that it would cost nearly three hundred to renovate two rooms. This is not a small amount of money."

When Jia Zhang heard that it would cost three hundred yuan, she immediately became depressed. Jia Zhang glared at Qin Huairu and looked at Jia Dongxu. Jia Dongxu said, "Let's talk about it later! Banggeng is still young, so there's no need to rush."

With Jia Dongxu as a stepping stone, Jia Zhang stopped making a fuss and ate the steamed bread in her hand obediently.

After dinner, Qin Huairu cleaned up the table. She put the dishes in the basin and carried the basin out of the house. About ten minutes later, Qin Huairu finished washing the dishes and walked home with the basin. When she reached the door, Qin Huairu stood up two bricks on the ground and walked in.

After dinner, Yi Zhonghai went out for a walk. When he saw the bricks on the ground, his brows frowned inadvertently, and he began to think about how to deal with Qin Huairu.

"Ouch?! Uncle, what are you doing?!" Xu Damao pushed his bicycle into the gate of the courtyard and asked casually when he saw Yan Bugui coming out of the back house next to him.

Yan Bugui replied: "Nothing?! Look, I rented two back houses from the street office. Someone will come to repair the house tomorrow. Shouldn't I be prepared?!"

Xu Damao said, "Uncle San, this house has been closed for so many years, it's no longer habitable. Why did you rent it? Isn't this a waste of money?!"

Yan Bugui smiled and replied, "Xie Cheng and his wife are all grown up. They will be getting married in a few years. We can't let the three brothers live together after they get married, can we?! Besides, Li Di can't always live with us old couple, can we?!"

Xu Damao thought about it and nodded, "What you said really makes sense."

Yan Bugui asked: "Da Mao, I heard that your father is going to work somewhere else in order to get you a permanent job?!"

Xu Damao said with a smile: "Uncle, you are really well-informed! But this matter has not been finalized yet! You can't tell anyone!"

"Okay! I know what's going on. You can go back soon!" After Yan Bugui sent Xu Damao away, he sighed and muttered, "Parents are all pitiful! It's good that the children appreciate it. If they don't, they will become enemies."
