Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

Jia Dongxu smiled and looked at He Daqing, "Uncle He, you will find that this will be the wisest decision you have ever made in your life."

"cheers!"

Jia Dongxu raised his glass and toasted everyone. He Daqing and his fellow apprentices had been together for decades, so they naturally had a good relationship. They had not been optimistic about He Daqing and the White Widow in the first place, but when they heard about this arrangement, they were extremely satisfied and raised their glasses to drink together.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Jia Dongxu stood up, opened the door, and called Sha Zhu in. He Daqing asked Sha Zhu to toast his senior brothers one by one.

"Zhu Zi, Dad won't be living at home for the next year. You and Yu Shui should listen to Dong Xu's arrangements." He Da Qing said, "If you have any questions, you can go to your uncle and uncle."

"Dad, aren't you working at Fengze Garden anymore? You won't be coming home in the future?" Sha Zhu asked puzzledly.

He Daqing glanced at the door. Jia Zhang was washing clothes in the pool and teaching the rain next to her. Then he said with guilt, "Zhu Zi, Dad has offended someone. They threatened me with you. For your safety, I have to leave."

"Yi Zhonghai knows about Dad's affairs. If Dad doesn't make any move, he will try to get rid of him."

"Dad, will you come back to see us?" Sha Zhu looked at He Daqing worriedly.

"Dad will come back to see you and Yu Shui when he is free. You are grown up now and can earn money to support you and Yu Shui. I also entrust you and Yu Shui to Dong Xu and let their family take care of Yu Shui." He Daqing said and glanced at Sha Zhu.

"Besides, Dad is planning to start a family with someone else, so he won't be able to come back to see you often. I will send 10 yuan to Dongxu every month until Yushui grows up."

"Okay, I got it. You should take care of your health. I will work hard with my masters and uncles." Sha Zhu said, looking at Jia Dongxu.

"Dongxu, I'm stupid but I still have to go to work. I'll trouble you more in the future." After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't get involved with the old lady in the backyard and Yi Zhonghai's family, I will help you with your business." Jia Dongxu patted his chest.

"Did you say that? Don't deny it when the time comes!" Sha Zhu laughed, "From now on, Yu Shui will be in your hands. I've taken care of him for so many years, I don't want to take care of him anymore."

He Daqing looked at Sha Zhu with a dark face. His silly son, it's not shameful to say such things. How can he despise his own sister?

"Okay, what nonsense are you talking about?"

After washing the clothes, Jia Zhang took an old piece of clothes and took Yu Shui back to his side room. It seemed that she was going to make a schoolbag for Yu Shui.

Several people here were drinking. The third aunt brought her three sons to He Daqing's house. Seeing that there were guests, they stood guard at the door.

When He Daqing saw this, he came out and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Why aren't you home to cook for the children at this time?"

Then he asked Liu Guangqi, "Have you eaten?"

Liu Guangqi looked at the food and wine in the room, licked his lips, and thought of his mother's words at home, "Uncle He, we are going to have no food to eat. Please help us."

He Daqing glanced at the third aunt with displeasure. She could even let the child come to her to beg for mercy. Why would she be so arrogant if she had known this?

"Sister-in-law, take the children home for dinner first. After you settle them down, come to my house to find me."

He Daqing seemed to think that this was a misunderstanding. "I know about Lao Liu's matter. I'll call Dongxu as well."

The third aunt then felt relieved and took the children back. Liu Guangqi saw Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu were eating, and He Daqing refused to let him in, and a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes.

When He Daqing saw this, he couldn't help but feel disgusted. This little bastard is the same as his father and is not a good person.

After the brothers and sisters had discussed the matter and had eaten and drunk their fill, they said goodbye and left.

After returning to the house, Sha Zhu began to clean the table.

"Zhu Zi, Yu Shui will go to Hongxing Primary School tomorrow. I will take him there. When he comes back, let him come back with his classmates. You can pick him up when you are free." Jia Dongxu said from the side.

"Okay, then, from now on I'll get up early and make breakfast, and you and Aunt Jia can eat together." Sha Zhu thought about it and decided that his family couldn't take advantage of this.

"That's great. With your cooking skills, it can't be wrong. My mother will go buy food then."

Jia Dongxu spoke happily. Since he woke up, he had been eating the food prepared by the two chefs, Sha Zhu and He Daqing. He really couldn't eat the food prepared by Jia Zhang.

Seeing that the two had agreed, He Daqing took out a stack of money and handed it to Sha Zhu, "Zhu Zi, keep this money. This is for you and Yu Shui's future expenses."

"Uncle, you gave so much money to Zhuzi, aren't you afraid that I will take it away?" Jia Dongxu took a look and estimated that it was about four or five hundred yuan. This money was enough for Sha Zhu and Yu Shui to live well for the next ten years.

"Okay, kid, if you really need money, ask Zhuzi to lend it to you, and remember to pay it back." He Daqing said nonchalantly, "Uncle will get you some income later, don't always think about Zhuzi's wife's money."

"Uncle, you spent so much money on marrying Zhuzi a wife?" He continued, looking at Sha Zhu, "Zhuzi, what kind of wife are you going to marry?"

After hearing this, Sha Zhu laughed and didn't respond. He put the money into Zi Ji's pocket and went to clean the table.

"Don't pack up yet, Zhuzi. Go and inform the people in the courtyard that the meeting will be held at 8 o'clock." Seeing Zhuzi like that, the innkeeper said a little angrily.

"Let's take down the manager Liu Haizhong today. I suggest that you become the third uncle and manage these young people in the yard." He Daqing squatted at the door and lit a cigarette.

"Liu Haizhong's wife will be here soon. I guess he wants you to write a letter of apology and ask for 200 yuan." He Daqing said, glancing at Jia Dongxu, "Take this as a lesson for his family, otherwise he will definitely cause trouble in the yard in the future."

"Don't worry, Uncle He. When I become the third uncle, I will kick him out if he causes trouble." Seeing He Daqing squatting, Jia Dongxu moved two stools over.

"Uncle, look over there, the door has been closed for an entire afternoon." Jia Dongxu glanced at Yi Zhonghai's house.

"He won't be alive for a few days, don't worry." He Daqing smoked a cigarette, stood up and looked at the backyard. Seeing that the boys from Liu Haizhong's family were clamoring for food, he came over and waited for them. He also planned to go directly to Widow Liu to discuss things after the meeting today.

"Dongxu, uncle plans to leave tonight."

After a while, He Daqing seemed to have made up his mind and started talking to Jia Dongxu.

"Go ahead, uncle. It's time to prove that you are still in good health." Jia Dongxu listened and said, He Daqing has been a widower for 6 years. After so many years, it's okay now.

"You kid, everything tastes different in your mouth, good or bad." He Daqing scolded with a smile.
