Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

"You are such a heartless person. You treat your mother like this. Aren't you afraid that she will freeze to death? You are so rude when it comes to hiring people. Now it's okay. Let your mother sleep on the floor. I tell you, if anything goes wrong, I will call your father up to accompany you."

After hearing what her son said, Jia Zhang couldn't help but start muttering that her son was about to start working and had grown powerful, yet he dared to order her around like this. If he continued like this in the future, how would she live?

"Stop making a fuss. What month is it now? You won't be cold. Go and pack up quickly. You have to take a bath soon."

Jia Dongxu said as he looked at Sha Zhu, "Zhu Zi, my mother is like this. I apologize to you. I was not a decent person in the past. From now on, our two families will get along well, and then you will know what kind of person I am."

Yi Zhonghai returned to his home and hurriedly pulled his wife, "His second aunt, something happened, we need to discuss it."

Now He Daqing is the eldest uncle in the yard, the second uncle is Yi Zhonghai, and the third uncle is Liu Haizhong. Yi Zhonghai’s wife is still called the second aunt.

"Master, what's wrong?" Second Aunt said, looking outside and saw Jia Zhang across the street moving things out.

"Dongxu wants to rebuild the house. What should we do?" Yi Zhonghai said, "If it is completed, this kid will be out of our control in the future."

"I'm afraid we should discuss this with the old lady. Since you didn't come back for lunch, we can send the remaining food to the old lady."

"Okay, let's go together. I'll go find Sha Zhu and get some more dishes. Sha Zhu's cooking skills are almost as good as his father's." Yi Zhonghai said as he picked up the lunch box.

When he arrived at He Daqing's house, he saw Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu drinking. He looked at the Fenjiu on the table and his eyes narrowed. It seemed that He Daqing was instigating Sha Zhu to win over Jia Dongxu.

"Shazhu, bring some food. I'll take it to the old lady in the backyard!" Yi Zhonghai said as he was about to pick up the food with chopsticks, without caring whether they were full or not.

Jia Dongxu quickly stopped Yi Zhonghai and said, "Uncle Yi, this meal was prepared by my family. You don't even need to go through my house to get the food."

"Kid, how do you talk to your master like that?" The second aunt said to Jia Dongxu with dissatisfaction.

Jia Dongxu was dissatisfied after hearing this and snatched the chopsticks from Yi Zhonghai, "What master? Haven't you worshipped him yet? Second Aunt, please take the lunch box and give it to the old lady. She will be hungry later."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu angrily. He couldn't believe that this was the Jia Dongxu who always obeyed him. He said quickly, "Dongxu, if you don't explain this matter to me, I will never let you go."

At this time, He Daqing came out and looked at Yi Zhonghai. He asked, "Old Yi, what are you doing? You are a grown-up, why are you competing with a child?"

"Sister-in-law, hurry up and take Lao Yi to bring food to the old lady, or she will be hungry."

The second aunt looked at the food on the table and swallowed her saliva. Old Yi was really something. He only had cornmeal buns and vegetables and radishes at home, but he wanted to give meat and fish to the old lady.

Seeing He Daqing showing off his power, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly pulled the second aunt to the backyard in shame.

"Dongxu, why do you treat Lao Yi like this? He is your master." He Daqing sat at the table, glanced at Fenjiu, his eyes twitched, and he cursed in his heart that his son Sha Zhu was so stupid.

Let the rain get you the chopsticks, then pour yourself a glass of wine and sip it slowly.

"Uncle He, with Uncle Yi's character, he still wants to be my master. He is not worthy." Jia Dongxu took the wine glass, clinked it with He Daqing, and then drank it in one gulp.

"What do you mean? Isn't Old Yi a good person? How can he have a bad character?" He Daqing said with a smile.

Jia Dongxu picked up the bottle and filled He Daqing's glass. Seeing that Sha Zhu's glass was still full, he looked at Sha Zhu with dissatisfaction. Sha Zhu had no choice but to take it and drink it.

Jia Dongxu filled Sha Zhu's glass again, "Zhu Zi, I know you have a good relationship with Uncle Yi and you can't stand people saying bad things about him. But, I'll tell you one thing, he is conspiring with the old lady behind to drive your father away."

"You're talking nonsense. What's the relationship between my father and Uncle Yi? You, my grandson, are not worthy of drinking my wine." Sha Zhu said as he snatched the bottle from Jia Dongxu.

"How has Uncle Yi taken care of your family over the years? You turned around and turned hostile. You are a complete grandson."

After hearing this, He Daqing and the girl Yu Shui also looked at Jia Dongxu in confusion.

"Let's not talk about the things happening in my family for now. I'm sure that Uncle Yi is now discussing with the old lady how to drive your father away." Jia Dongxu said, slamming the table.

"Zhu Zi, I'm telling you this because I treat you as my brother. When your father is taken away by him, you and your sister will have no place to cry."

"Don't scare us. My father is not that kind of person. How could he abandon us two siblings?" Sha Zhu said with his eyes wide open.

"What's impossible? Fengze Garden has been taken back by the government, and they are investigating his background. Your father used to cook for a wealthy family. When Yi Zhonghai reports him, will he run away?" Jia Dongxu said as he took a bite of food.

"You're talking nonsense, Uncle Yi is not that kind of person?" said the fool with his neck stiff.

"Okay, Zhuzi, sit down and talk." He Daqing understood from the side that Fengzeyuan was indeed checking the composition, and he also secretly mentioned it to Yi Zhonghai. How did Jia Dongxu know about it? However, if Yi Zhonghai went to sue him, he might really lose his job.

If it is investigated thoroughly, the secrets of some wealthy families may not be kept secret, and then those wealthy families may try to silence me.

"Dongxu, Fengzeyuan is really checking the ingredients now. How did you know this?" He Daqing asked with an unhappy look on his face.

"Uncle, don't worry about how I know it. Just tell me what will happen if someone reports you?" Jia Dongxu said, looking at He Daqing.

He Daqing's expression kept changing, and after a long while he said, "I still have to leave Shazhu and Yushui behind and leave the courtyard, otherwise our family will be in trouble."

"Dad, are you really going to abandon Yu Shui and leave her alone?" Yu Shui ran over and said crying.

"Dad has to go, but I will make arrangements for you when I leave." He Daqing said, looking at Jia Dongxu, "Dongxu, how did you know?"

"Uncle He, I know everything anyway, and you don't care how I know it. I just want to ask you, do you still believe him?"

Jia Dongxu didn't know what to say. It was hard to find anything wrong with Yi Zhonghai's usual good-natured appearance, so he decided to trick He Daqing.

"Yes, I understand." He Daqing picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. "I was originally planning to entrust Zhu Zi and Yu Shui to him for care, but it seems that this approach is not feasible."
