Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

He Yushui confronted Sha Zhu early this morning, when few people in the compound had gotten up yet.

Yesterday was the Chinese New Year's Eve, but Sha Zhu took the deaf old lady from the backyard in, saying that all the men in the old lady's family had died in the battlefield, and now the old lady was left all alone, which was too pitiful, so he took her in for a meal.

He Yushui was so angry that she retorted, "Didn't Yi Zhonghai always say that he respected the old and loved the young, and that his family would take care of his old lady? Could it be that he went back on his words and just said nice things, but didn't care about the old lady at all?"

Sha Zhu was annoyed: "Of course the uncle treats the old lady well, but the old lady and her whole family sacrificed their lives for the country. Shouldn't we, the living ones, treat her better? And you were educated in school, how come you can't even do this little bit of patriotism, support the army, and respect the elderly?"

He Yushui argued that who knew how the male child of the deaf old lady died, so how could it be considered that they had sacrificed their lives for the country?

However, Sha Zhu had long been indoctrinated by Yi Zhonghai with the idea that all the male members of the deaf old lady's family died for the country, and he would not listen to any other doubtful words. Instead, he was even more annoyed that He Yushui had no love.

In the end, not only the deaf old lady was called, but also Yi Zhonghai's family. Then, Jia Dongxu came first and said he wanted to have a drink together. Later, Qin Huairu came holding Bang Geng and said that the child missed her father, so she also came. Finally, Jia Zhang also rushed in rudely, yelling why she was left out of the party.

Thus, a reunion of a pair of little siblings turned into a big dinner for the future retirement group led by Yi Zhonghai.

He's the kind of guy who works hard and spends money for nothing and doesn't get any thanks.

At that time, He Yushui decided that it was the two hundred yuan. Only her beauty could tie down the LSP heart of Sha Zhu. Only a girl from a very poor family would keep a tight eye on Sha Zhu's purse. Even if in the future, the two hundred yuan moved all her brother's assets back to her parents' home, it would be better than having them squandered by those people in the Intermediate Court.

After making the decision, He Yushui quickly grabbed a bowl of delicious food, took the steamed bun, left the table and ate by himself.

Sha Zhu was still angry and said that she was too petty and didn't give him any face at all. However, Yi Zhonghai stopped him, said a few nice words to him, and then everyone at the table drank and ate and had a great time.

He Yushui watched all this coldly, and secretly swore in his heart: These people are not good people, just wait for my future sister-in-law to deal with them.

If Yi Zhonghai knew that it was because of what they did on New Year's Eve that He Yushui made up his mind to choose such a difficult wife for Sha Zhu, which directly led to his dream of becoming a thug being shattered, and then he lacked prestige in the compound and could not control the courtyard like in the TV series, he would probably regret it to death.

So, early in the morning, He Yushui woke up Sha Zhu and told him about today's blind date.

Originally, Sha Zhu was still angry that He Yushui did not give him face yesterday. But when he heard that He Yushui had found him a super beautiful wife, all his anger disappeared. Not only did he blame He Yushui for acting on his own, he even ignored the high bride price and other things that He Yushui asked for.

"Are you telling the truth? Did Matchmaker Liu really find me a super beautiful wife, one that's much prettier than Sister Jia?"

Shazhu was drooling, and the only words left in his mind were "much prettier than Jia's wife". Jia's wife was so pretty, much prettier than her, she must be like a fairy.

Seeing him go from angry to looking like a pig, He Yushui felt like she was seeing her father, He Daqing.

She grabbed Sha Zhu's arm and warned him, "Keep your voice down. You haven't even got a wife yet. What if someone finds out and tries to sabotage you? You know how hard it is to find such a beautiful partner. You don't want anyone to sabotage you, do you? Let me make it clear first, Matchmaker Liu said she can't find another one who's equally pretty."

Sha Zhu wiped his mouth, smiled foolishly and said, "That can't be done. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I will beat him to death."

He Yushui didn't quite believe it: "Anyway, don't tell anyone in the yard. I'll contact Liu the matchmaker right away and ask her to bring people over at noon. As for you, go buy some vegetables. I bought meat dishes for the New Year and cooked them all for you last night. This is the first time your future sister-in-law comes to your house, you can't let her eat stewed cabbage." As he said this, he glared at Sha Zhu, still brooding over what happened yesterday.

Then Sha Zhu remembered that too many unexpected people came yesterday, and as a result, all the meat and vegetables stored at home were almost used up for one meal. He laughed foolishly and quickly rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find money and prepare to go shopping.

Before leaving, He Yushui reminded him again: "Don't tell anyone. You know your reputation. If others deliberately say something in front of your sister-in-law, you won't be able to succeed."

Sha Zhu waved his hand: "Alright, alright, I get it, I definitely won't tell anyone."

Just because she is much prettier than Mrs. Jia, Sha Zhu will also act mute for once today.

So, when he came back from shopping and was washing and preparing the food, no matter whether the aunt asked directly or Qin Huairu asked in a roundabout way, Sha Zhu used He Yushui to fool them: "Yushui was not happy with the meal yesterday, so I specially prepared it for her today."

Although Auntie and Qin Huairu were unhappy about the good food they provided to a little girl like Yu Shui, they were siblings and what could they do if she agreed? They could only go home and tell Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu so that they could get another table of delicious food.

When Liu the matchmaker brought people over, the girl looked up and greeted her. When Sha Zhu saw who it was, he couldn't walk anymore.

Where did this fairy girl come from? Is she really my blind date? Will she be my wife in the future? Hehehe~~

He Yushui felt embarrassed and quickly pulled Sha Zhu back, thus preventing Sha Zhu from making a fool of himself.

Not wanting to stay in the yard for too long, He Yushui quickly invited people into the house.

"Aunt Liu, come on, come in and sit down. It's cold outside."

Sha Zhu also came to his senses and quickly invited: "Look at me, it's so cold outside, come in and sit down."

The four of them entered the main room and sat down at the table.

Sha Zhu attentively served candied fruits, snacks and cakes, and poured sugar water, and greeted enthusiastically: "There is nothing good to treat you at home, just these snacks, they taste good, eat them all, eat them all, don't save them for me."

Matchmaker Liu didn't want to take the order at first, but He Yushui ran over and begged her. Of course, the matchmaking gift was also quite generous. She also happened to have a girl who met the requirements but was difficult to introduce to someone else, so she went with the flow and introduced her to him.

Now he looked around Sha Zhu's house and saw that the room was relatively clean and tidy (empty). Sha Zhu was also very enthusiastic, and the girl He who was brought over also nodded slightly, thinking that this thank-you gift for matchmaking was a sure thing.

However, just as she was happily eating snacks, drinking sugar water, and watching Sha Zhu stammeringly talking to He Yatou, the door of the He family was pushed open, and a handsome middle-aged man walked in and glanced at her.

Based on her fifty years of life experience, Matchmaker Liu judged that this man had murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at her for the first time!
