Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

"This guy is so shameless!" Jia Dongxu said, "Just based on what he said today, I know he has no moral integrity."

"You want someone to take care of you in your old age, but you don't want to raise your children. In the future, have less contact with him. There will be plots against you if you say anything."

"He wants Yu Shui and I to take care of them in their old age." Sha Zhu said, looking at Yu Shui outside the yard.

Jia Zhang was already washing her hair, and Qin Huairu next to her was holding a kettle and mixing warm water in a basin.

"Dongxu, you said that you didn't think your wife was very pretty yesterday, but why does she look so good to me today?" Sha Zhu said.

"Bah, if you look at me again, I'll poke your eyes out." Jia Dongxu stood up angrily, gesturing with a piece of firewood, "That's your sister-in-law, don't let her imagine anything."

When Sha Zhu saw Jia Dongxu's expression, he couldn't help but step back. He had never seen Jia Dongxu so angry. It seemed that he was really angry and he shrank his neck.

"Uh, how could that be possible? I just took a look."

"That won't work either. You should go see your own wife. You can't even look at my wife." Jia Dongxu stared at Sha Zhu and said, "Tomorrow, I will ask someone to find a wife for you. Anyway, no matter whether you are old enough or not, I will arrange a marriage for you."

Damn, Shazhu’s current state makes me feel like there’s a green grassland above my head. I should quickly find a wife for this guy.

Glancing at Qin Huairu, this girl isn't as bad as she will be in the future. She hasn't turned evil yet. I have to live well and not give her the chance to turn evil.

"Zhu Zi, don't blame me for saying that. You are not a kid anymore and you are working outside to support your family. You should know the difference between good and bad. Don't do irrelevant things. Think more about it when you encounter something."

"I will pretend I didn't hear what you said today. If you don't improve and keep saying this, I'll make you sweep the streets."

Jia Dongxu said this, and sat down angrily to burn firewood.

His mind was in a daze for a moment. After his original body died in a workshop more than ten years ago, his whole family was saved thanks to Sha Zhu. Was I being too much when I spoke like this today?

But why do I always feel awkward when Shazhu is around?

"Zhu Zi, I'm in a bad mood. I'm going to go for a walk outside." Jia Dongxu dropped the firewood in his hand and walked outside.

"Huai Ru, where are the piglets?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"Uh, in the house." Qin Huairu said with a red face.

"Will it make the house stink?" Jia Dongxu said, and then Jia Zhang's face darkened. "You said that no one has moved into this house yet, and you let a pig in."

"Don't you know that pigs bring poverty? And you're not allowed to raise pigs in this yard."

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? A fat pig is so festive and brings wealth. Stop talking, this is my wedding gift to Huairu." Jia Dongxu said, "It's so difficult to get a piglet now. You can't get one even if you want to."

Holding Qin Huairu's hand, "Let's go and see the piglets."

Master Lei and others were making tables and chairs at the door. When they saw Jia Dongxu coming over, they said, "Chief Jia, look, we have already made a few beds."

Jia Dongxu went over and pretended to take a closer look. He didn't understand it anyway, so he casually praised, "This is really beautiful handwork."

"Haha, of course you have to. This is for your wedding and you'll use it for the rest of your life. By the way, Chief Jia, I put your piglet in a backpack because I was afraid it would make the house dirty. Remember to feed it."

"Okay, Master Lei, I'll feed them now." Jia Dongxu said, and took a basin from the house, scooped two bowls of cornmeal, mixed it with water, and said to Qin Huairu, "Let's go feed the pigs."

Take the piglet out of the basket and put it in front of the basin. The piglet starts to eat happily.

"You are willing to feed the pigs with food." Qin Huairu said from the side.

"Well, this is a betrothal gift to you, so of course you have to cherish it," said Jia Dongxu.

"It's a pity that we can only send it back on the weekend. Let big brother carry it back?" Qin Huairu looked at the piglet eating happily and touched the pig's head with her hand.

"Your father will be here tomorrow, let him take it back." Jia Dongxu squatted aside and looked at the piglet.

"It's coming tomorrow? How do you know?" Qin Huairu asked curiously.

"Of course I called them over, otherwise how would I know." Having said this, Jia Dongxu hurried out and said, "Mom, my second uncle and my father-in-law and three others will come over tomorrow."

"Oh, good to know. Your wife and I will prepare it tomorrow. You don't have to worry." Jia Zhang said, thinking about what to prepare for tomorrow.

"Huai Ru, how are you and mom getting along at home today?"

Jia Dongxu was worried that Qin Huairu would be wronged. His mother was too powerful and liked to make decisions on everything.

"Not bad, we made clothes today, and if we have nothing to do tomorrow, we can finish your clothes." Qin Huairu said, "Mom's needlework is really good, we competed for the whole afternoon."

"Who won?" he continued to ask. These two people were really competing with each other today.

"Haha, guess." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

"Haha, that means you win." Jia Dongxu glanced at Qin Huairu and said.

Then he went outside, picked up a lot of wood shavings and put them in the backpack, and then put the piglet in it.

"If this little guy pees in the house, it will really stink." Jia Dongxu took the basin and went out, rinsed the sprayer, took the basin into the house and placed it under the backpack to catch the pee.

"Aren't you wasting the pot?" Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu angrily.

"This is the only way. It can be used again after washing it clean." Jia Dongxu said with a smile.

"You can use it yourself." Qin Huairu said, touching her pocket, "I'm going to buy a new basin."

"Tomorrow, let's go buy some candy for Dad to take back." Jia Dongxu said while holding Qin Huairu's hand, "I'll also buy you a new towel, toothbrush, and water cup, okay?"

"Yeah." Qin Huai leaned on Jia Dongxu's shoulder and looked at the pig in the basket. "I'll tell Dad tomorrow that we've completed the registration."

"By the way, we haven't bought new quilts and mattresses yet. I'll go with you to buy them tomorrow."

Jia Dongxu said that since he had to write a proposal tomorrow, he might as well talk it out to find inspiration and buy some things at the same time.

"Is it enough?" Qin Huairu said, "How about not buying it?"

"How can I not buy it? We're only getting married this once," Jia Dongxu smiled and took out two yuan and handed it over.

"If you want to save money, let's sell cotton and cloth and make our own quilts. Then buy some cloth for 4 yuan, cotton for 6 yuan, a basin of towels, and some sugar. This money is just right."

"Ah? Then we are out of money again?" Qin Huairu covered her pocket, which contained the money that Jia Dongxu gave her today.

"Don't worry, we still have a banquet on Sunday. When the time comes, after deducting the money for buying vegetables, the rest will be given to you." Jia Dongxu said with a smile.

"If you leave it to me, will mom have any objections?" Qin Huairu said from the side.

"You have to hold back your opinions. Who is the head of the family? How dare you say the opposite?"

"Bah, you just know how to coax me. I'm not stupid. If I take that money, I will be scolded."
