Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

"Let's take back our house and land!" Seeing Qin Huairu's words, Jia Dongxu couldn't back down, so he stepped forward and said, "Jia Jiye, you occupied my house and land, it's time to return them!"

"Hmph, your house? It's mine as long as I live in it." Jia Jiye said fiercely.

"Do you think this is still the old society, where just being ruthless will do? Do you want me to go to the county and report that you, Jia Jiye, robbed an orphan and a widow?"

Jia Dongxu stepped forward and said, Qin Huairu was holding a shovel towards Jia Jiye, and if he dared to move, she would hit him.

Seeing Jia Jiye's fierce eyes, Jia Dongxu continued, "Jia Jiye, if I go to sue you, you will probably get shot. You should know that people who did evil in the old society are being investigated now."

How could Qin Huairu be so aggressive? I just mentioned on the way that my second uncle had occupied my house and land, and this girl dared to come up and ask for it. If she wants it, she has to do it when there are many people around. Now there are only three of them. If Jia Jiye acts recklessly, I will suffer.

"Don't even think about taking advantage of me. My wife's father is Qin Dazhuang from Qinjia Village. If you dare to do anything excessive, you will be in big trouble." Jia Dongxu continued to threaten. With his thin arms and legs, it was not worth getting beaten, so he quickly brought out his future father-in-law to give himself courage.

"Uncle, there is none of your business here, you should go back first." Jia Dongxu said. Uncle Jia still has to live in the village, so he must not be targeted by Jia Jiye because of his family affairs.

"Dongxu, don't underestimate your uncle. Your uncle will take care of this matter for you today." Uncle Jia said.

"Let's go to the village to discuss this matter." Uncle Jia said, looking at the grave and shaking his head, "This grave can only be covered so much today."

Qin Huairu looked at the half-repaired grave and said to Uncle Jia, "Uncle, take Dongxu to discuss this. This is the business of the men of the Jia family. I will not interfere. I will just repair the grave for my father-in-law here."

Then he looked at Jia Jiye and said, "But if someone bullies our family, my father will not let him go."

Uncle Jia looked at Qin Huairu and said to the grave, "Xingye, your son is a lucky man. He found you a good daughter-in-law. You must bless them from below."

Jia Jiye looked at Jia Dongxu, then at Qin Huairu, and walked out with some concerns in his heart.

Uncle Jia saw this and said from behind, "Dongxu, let's go to the village and explain your family's affairs clearly. You are old enough now, and you can't be so unclear."

Jia Dongxu nodded and looked at Qin Huairu, "Huairu, I'll park the car and come pick you up later."

"Well, go ahead. Don't be afraid of him. If he dares to bully you, my father will come to find him in the evening." Qin Huairu encouraged Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu smiled from behind, this girl got into the role really quickly.

Jia Dongxu followed Uncle Jia and said, "Uncle, are there any young people in our village who have finished junior high school? Our factory is recruiting now. Anyone who has finished junior high school can join the factory now."

"Really? Let me count. There are two people in the village who have studied in junior high school. I'll have someone call them over later." Uncle Jia said, looking at Jia Dongxu, "Dongxu, where do you work now?"

"The Loushi Steel Rolling Mill in the city has 3 to 4 people, and they are looking to expand and recruit more people," Jia Dongxu said. "Why don't the villagers go to the city to find work after finishing junior high school?"

"We looked for them. It's hard to find work in the city now. We looked for them several times but couldn't find them, so they came back." Uncle Jia was embarrassed to say that one of them was his grandson.

When they arrived at the village entrance, Uncle Jia asked someone to call the villagers over.

The village chief Jia Zhenye came over and said, "Dad, why did you gather everyone here? We all have to work in the afternoon."

"The sky won't fall if we don't work for a while! Call all the men with the surname Jia over here, we have something to ask." Uncle Jia was not polite at all when speaking to his own son.

"Okay, I'll ask the second and third brothers to go and inform them." Jia Zhenye said without any curiosity, "Who is this young man?"

"Xingye's son brought his wife back today to repair his father's grave." Uncle Jia said.

"Oh, it's Dongxu. I haven't seen you for a few years. How are you and your mother now?" Jia Zhenye said from the side. He looked at Jia Dongxu and saw his clothes and appearance. He thought he was a city kid. He looked really good.

"It's okay, it's okay, uncle. I haven't been back for a few years and I can't recognize all the people at home. Come and have a cigarette." Jia Dongxu said embarrassedly and took out a cigarette to offer.

"Well, you can just call me Second Uncle. I heard about your family's affairs. I was away at the time and didn't know about it, so you and your mother suffered." Jia Zhenye took the cigarette and said, "You went to the city for four or five years and didn't come back. I thought you would never come back."

"No, that won't do. No matter what, my father has to meet his daughter-in-law." Jia Dongxu said with a smile.

"Where is your wife?" Jia Zhenye looked and asked.

"I'm repairing my father's grave." Jia Dongxu said, "I haven't been back for a few years, and the grave is in a mess. Luckily, the girl brought a shovel in advance."

Jia Zhenye smoked a cigarette and said, "Your wife is really nice. You are really a fool. Let your wife repair the grave alone. What if she scares that girl?"

He turned to Uncle Jia and said, "Dad, please let my wife go and accompany the girl for a while."

Uncle Jia nodded and pointed at Jia Jiye who was standing beside him, "I'll go call your wife, and you help Dongxu get the house and land back."

Seeing that everyone in the village had come over, Jia Zhenye greeted them, "Young and old men, Xingye's son is back. You all saw him. The young man next to me is him."

"When Xingye left, he left behind land and houses in the village. Everyone has the surname Jia, as you all know."

Uncle Jia then pointed at Jia Jiye and said, "Jiye, you have been living in your eldest brother's house and cultivating his land for so many years. Isn't it time to return it to your eldest brother's son?"

Jia Jiye was standing aside without saying anything at this time. Then a woman came up from behind and cursed, asking why the whole group of people didn't die out.

"Jieye, what does your wife mean by interrupting what the master is saying?" Jia Zhenye glared at Jia Jiye, a man looked down upon in the village.

"This is also our family's business, we should give women a chance to speak." Jia Jiye said, knowing that if it were just him, he would have to hand over the land and the house today. If he let his wife come in and get involved, maybe he could get away with it.

Jia Zhenye looked at the men of the Jia family in the village and said, "You are all men, tell me whether you can let Jia Jiye's wife come over to talk."

"No, what's that? The men are talking about something, why is a woman coming in to interfere? Jiye, if you don't take your wife away, we will take her away." said a man who was watching.
