Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

"Zhu Zi made a special dish for me today, I really like it."

The old lady said, looking at Jia Zhang, "Go and call that girl down, and let's talk together."

Jia Zhang smiled softly, "Are you planning to take action yourself?"

The old lady looked at the sky and said, "It's such a nice sun, it makes me feel lazy. I don't want to ruin this comfortable day."

"The girl Zhuzi found was too calculating, and in the end they were the ones who suffered. We are an ordinary family, and we are not afraid of anything else but calculation and calculation."

"Otherwise, after a long time, couples and neighbors will have endless quarrels."

"I watched Zhuzi grow up. He looks silly, but he is stubborn. If his wife is not convinced, there will be chaos."

"I, an old woman, have finally managed to see you through. The yard is a little quieter now."

Jia Zhang listened and nodded, "What the old lady said makes sense. We finally have a good life, so don't let it make us upset."

Then he got up and went into the house. Seeing Daya wiping her eyes, he quickly stepped forward and said, "What's wrong with Daya? Are you feeling wronged? Let's go sit outside and talk for a while."

Then Jia Zhang brought the food to Master Lei and the others on the table. Seeing that Daya had not moved yet, she reached out and pulled Daya towards the door.

"Daya, stay here with the old lady for a while. I'm going to call Master Lei and the others to eat."

When the old lady saw Daya sitting down, she glanced at her.

"Girl, how old are you this year?"

When Daya saw the old lady asking questions, she looked at the old lady with a gloomy look and said, "Seventeen."

"Seventeen, that's good in the new era. In the old days, seventeen would have meant being an old maid." The old lady said with a sigh.

"As for me, I have been in this yard since I was beaten fifteen years ago. It has been almost 60 years, and my family has never seen me since."

"Grandma, where are your family?" Daya asked curiously.

The old lady listened to the fairy for a while, then slowly said, "Family? They are all gone. My husband passed away early, and my son finished school in 1919. He went west and died fighting the Japanese."

"Later, I felt it was too empty living alone and I had no money to live on, so I kept one room for myself and gradually sold the other houses."

"It's been decades in a flash."

"Where are your family members? Don't they care about you?" Daya asked curiously.

The old lady smiled and said with disdain, "My family? Don't think about your family after you get married. They are all ungrateful people who can never be fed."

"You are still young, look at who in this courtyard has contact with her mother's family? They have all been through your age and have suffered from their mother's family."

"Nowadays, everyone is living a hard life. If you live a good life, your family won't care about how you live. They will only think about how much they can take from you."

"Old lady, I've never heard you talk about these things." Jia Zhang arranged the masters and went to listen.

"You don't know what you were like before, why should I tell you?" The old lady rolled her eyes at Jia Zhang, "After Dongxu's father left, you became more and more out of shape. Fortunately, you are now almost the same as when you first moved into the courtyard, otherwise, do you think I would care about you?"

Jia Zhang smiled awkwardly, "Old lady, you are so old, but no one from your family came to visit you?"

"Look at me, do they dare? After my son left, I heard the news and they came to force me every day, asking for my house. I wanted to remarry." The old lady wiped her tears and rubbed her nose.

"They are all a bunch of ungrateful people. How much do I help them on a daily basis? I get money for building a house, getting married to my friends, and having children."

"When I had no more support, they all wanted to eat me alive."

Jia Zhang was stunned. Isn't this just the same as her mother's family?

After listening to what the old lady said, she wiped her eyes and said, "Old lady, you hit the nail on the head. You are from my mother's family. Both my mother's family and my husband's family are worthless."

"Before Dongxu's father passed away, my brother kept asking me for help. After Dongxu's father passed away, I went to him twice but he drove me away."

"Dongxu's uncle directly occupied the house and land and wouldn't let us keep them. After the factory's pension came down, I didn't dare to get involved with them anymore."

"Aunt San, are you talking about Uncle Qi?" Jia Daya asked.

"Bah, he's like that and you still call him Seventh Uncle. Aren't you afraid of bringing shame to the Jia family?" Jia Zhang said angrily.

"And you, why are you arguing with Zhuzi? Since you married him, you are one family with him, just take good care of the He family. What about your parents, do they dare to come to the courtyard and try?"

"When my mother and I were driven out of the village, your parents never said a word to help me!"

"You and Zhuzi were able to be together thanks to me not saying bad things about your parents. Do you still want them to come over?"

After saying this, Jia Zhang went into the house angrily.

Jia Dongxu just came out of the door and ran into the angry Jia Zhang. He asked in confusion, "Mom, why are you so angry? Who made you angry?"

"Your surname is Jia!" Jia Zhang said, leaving Jia Dongxu confused.

Seeing the old lady sitting with Jia Daya, Jia Dongxu and Guo Xu asked, "Old lady, how did our surname Jia offend my mother?"

"Oh, you're not accompanying your wife?" The old lady said with a smile, "Don't bother with your mother. Today, Daya said that she wanted his parents to come over to see the child. Your mother got angry when she heard that and said she didn't want to see the Jia family."

"Yes, this is true. My mother doesn't seem to like other people with the last name Jia except Uncle Jia." Jia Dongxu smiled and nodded, "It's all old news, so let's not talk about it."

"Well, if your mother is unhappy, my life will be miserable." The old lady changed her posture to bask in the sun.

Jia Dongxu took the stool beside him and said, "Old lady, are you really going to let my mother take care of you?"

"Let me start by saying that I don't want to click on your house or your trembling, so you can keep it to yourself."

"Bah, you can't even utter a nice word." The old lady glanced at Jia Dongxu and said as if reminiscing, "If my son could have a child, he would be the same age as you."

"Hey, old lady, I'm getting married today, so it's not appropriate to talk about the past." Jia Dongxu said quickly.

"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore." The old lady said, looking at Jia Dongxu, "He is really not a good guy, and he can't coax an old woman like me."

Jia Dongxu said quickly, "I dare not. There are so many people in this yard and I am afraid that others will say that I am after your property. If they do, they will kill me."

After saying that, Jia Dongxu glanced at Daya and said, "Daya, your parents are coming, what about your sister and the others?"
