Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

"Okay, I'm not stupid, I get it." Sha Zhu said with a smile, "Those idiots want to snatch my wife from me, dream on."

"But you'll have to wait a few years. I'm only 18, so it'll take two years to get married. You're only 2, so it'll take another four years."

Jia Dongxu thought that it would be better to fool Sha Zhu himself, lest this guy be fooled away by Yi Zhonghai. When He Daqing is not around, Sha Zhu will dominate the courtyard and beat people up.

Besides, this silly boy is full of flesh now, and with my skinny arms and legs, I’m afraid I can’t beat him.

"Okay, Brother Dongxu, you see I have to wait for four years, how can this be possible?" Sha Zhu shouted from the side.

"Why, do you still want to make a mistake and go to jail? You are just 16 now, you can go out and earn money. With four years of earning, you can save enough money to buy a wife. Then you can clean up the house and marry a beautiful wife, right?"

Jia Dongxu is painting a pie in the sky for Sha Zhu, and he just doesn't believe that you, Sha Zhu, won't take it.

Sha Zhu was laughing foolishly at the side. No one told him these things, so how would he know these things?

"Let's get a hair cut and take a bath today. Tomorrow after cooking, go to Fengze Garden to find your master and ask him to arrange a job for you. You can earn more than ten or twelve yuan a month, right?" Jia Dongxu said.

"What about Yu Shui? No one will look after her when I go to work."

Sha Zhu said that he was really annoyed with the rain. When He Daqing went to work, the rain was left to him. He had been seeing this for more than six years. When would it end?

"Let my mother take a look. You see my mother is idle all day long. Let her look after Yu Shui and then get Yu Shui to go to school. It won't take much effort. Just give him a few cents and he'll be very happy." Jia Dongxu said that he had to remind Jia Zhangshi to take good care of Yu Shui.

"Okay, I'll talk to my dad about this, and then we'll have a drink." said Sha Zhu.

When Jia Dongxu saw that they had almost finished eating, Jia Zhang also moved out the things in the house, leaving only some furniture and other things.

"Zhu Zi, are you full? Help me move the bed and cabinets out."

Seeing that there was nothing left to eat, Sha Zhu put down his chopsticks and moved the cabinet with Jia Dongxu.

At this time, a donkey-faced young man came out from the backyard and saw Sha Zhu moving things. "Sha Zhu, why are you working so hard at the Jia family today?"

"Sha Mao, the man is happy, what's it to you?" Sha Zhu shouted with a dark face and a hoarse voice.

Jia Dongxu then realized that the donkey-faced young man was Xu Damao, and hurriedly shouted, "Damo, don't go, help me move my things!"

"Don't worry, I'm going to the movies, you guys can move it by yourselves." Xu Damao took out the movie ticket that Xu Fugui got for him and showed it off.

"Tsk, what's so great about that? I don't even want to see it."

Sha Zhu said something that was not what he meant, saying that watching a movie was a rare thing these days.

"Xu Damao, if you're not helping with the work, then don't block the road. You might get bumped into."

Jia Dongxu felt unhappy when he saw Xu Damao teasing Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu was also a bad person. He moved the cabinet towards Xu Damao, which scared Xu Damao.

"Silly Zhu, don't you have eyes?"

"A good dog doesn't block the road, get out of the way!" Sha Zhu finally got the chance to take advantage of the argument and shouted happily at Xu Damao.

"I won't pay attention to you. I'm going to the movies." Xu Damao said speechlessly.

"Dongxu, how do you move things in your family? You're blocking everyone from going back and forth!" At this time, the third uncle Liu Haizhong shouted at the moon gate.

"Who are you? Are you blind? Didn't you see I put it next to the patio?" Jia Dongxu said angrily. It's such a big place, who would be so blind as to run into such a corner.

"How can you talk like that, kid? We have to have a good talk today." Liu Haizhong couldn't help but get angry. It would be disgraceful if the third uncle in his courtyard was bullied.

I can’t do anything to Yi Zhonghai, so how can I do nothing to you, Yi Zhonghai’s apprentice?

"Uncle, please be quiet. Guangqi might get lost again." Sha Zhu shouted from the side. Liu Guangqi got lost once when he was a child and was made fun of by Sha Zhu now.

"You silly Zhu, are you going to side with that kid Jia Dongxu today, right?" Liu Haizhong shouted at Sha Zhu.

"Mom, Liu Haizhong doesn't allow us to move things outside." Jia Dongxu thought about it and decided to release Jia Zhang. Liu Haizhong was using his official power to his advantage.

Jia Zhang came out, was startled, looked at her son, then looked at Liu Haizhong, blinked, and then howled.

"Old Jia, I am so miserable. After you left, Liu Haizhong bullied us, an orphan and a widow."

"Old Jia, you helped him so much when you were alive, but Liu Haizhong is so heartless that he bullies you, an orphan and a widow, now that you're dead."

"Liu Haizhong, you are such a heartless person, bullying our orphans and widows, I will fight you to death!"

He then rushed forward to scratch Liu Haizhong. Liu Haizhong saw this and hurried over to push Jia Zhangshi, knocking her to the ground.

"Someone come quickly, Liu Haizhong is bullying orphans and widows!"

"Liu Haizhong is shameless!"

"Liu Haizhong is bullying women!"

"Liu Haizhong, you hit my mom? I'm not done with you!"

Jia Dongxu shouted, picked up the rolling pin, and hit Liu Haizhong on the head.

"Bang" Liu Haizhong was hit and felt dizzy. He covered his head and didn't know what to say.

"I let you beat my mother, I let you beat my mother!" Jia Dongxu hit Liu Haizhong hard with a rolling pin.

All the residents in the yard came out at once, and dozens of people, young and old, men, women, and children gathered around to watch.

Seeing that more people were gathering, Jia Dongxu stepped back and shouted to the people in the yard, "Young and old men, look at Liu Haizhong beating my mother."

Then he looked at Jia Zhangshi, "Mom, does it hurt when Liu Haizhong hit you on the head?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately cried out, "Ouch, ouch, it hurts so much! Liu Haizhong, you ungrateful bastard, it's a pity that our old Jia took such good care of you in the past, and now you dare to hit us, an orphan and a widow."

"Liu Haizhong, how do you manage to be the third uncle? Why are you beating up orphans and widows in the yard?" Yan Bugui stepped forward and said.

"Jie Cheng, go to the subdistrict office and invite Director Wang. This is a very bad thing. It affects the harmony of the Siheyuan and destroys the Siheyuan culture."

After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng knew that his father had been planning to pull down his bangs so that he could be the third uncle, so he ran out in a hurry.

Liu Haizhong was so angry that he just touched Jia Zhangshi once, and he was beaten so many times by Jia Dongxu, and he was also labeled as bullying orphans and widows.

Pointing at Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi, he said angrily, "When did I hit your mother?"

"You didn't hit my mother, so why did she fall to the ground? Was she crying for a headache? Don't try to deny it. Zhuzi saw it from the side. It was you who pushed my mother down." Jia Dongxu shouted loudly.

When Jia Dongxu saw Yan Bugui asking Yan Jiecheng to call Director Wang, and saw his excited look, he understood what was going on.

"Uncle Yan, you are a cultured person, and there is no one in this courtyard who is more educated than you. Please give me your opinion. Is it illegal to bully an orphan and a widow?"
