Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

"Dongxu, let's change it at home!" Liu Haizhong's wife said.

"Just give the empty space to my family."

His family is rich, so if he renovates the house like Jia Dongxu did and build up the empty space behind it, he and his sons will all have a place to live.

"Can you please keep an eye on the entry and exit of people in the yard and their safety?" Jia Dongxu said to Liu Haizhong's wife. Judging from the size of the house, Liu Haizhong's house is just right.

"I don't agree." Yan Bugui shouted.

"Okay, it's okay if you don't agree. But don't blame me if you lose your job tomorrow." Jia Dongxu said to Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui had no choice but to say, "I have been watching over the door for everyone for so long, I can't give them the empty space behind it."

"The right to use the vacant land belongs to the gatekeeper. Since you are not the gatekeeper, why do you want the land?" Jia Dongxu said, "I remember that the house in the yard is not yours, but the street's, right? In this case, the street has the final say on who owns it. I will arrange it this way tomorrow."

"Aunt Liu, since you said you can guard the gate, I'll leave it to you. If anything goes wrong, you can move out."

Jia Dongxu said bluntly, "There are other families in the yard who also want to use this empty lot. If you can't take care of it, just give it up as soon as possible and give it to someone else."

"No problem, don't worry. Our family can open and close the door and guard against strangers." Liu Haizhong's wife said happily.

"Okay, starting from tomorrow morning, this job at the door will be handed over to you. Don't go sweep the street from tomorrow on. I will talk to the street hall." Jia Dongxu said, looking at Yan Bugui and his wife.

"Also, can you two switch houses tomorrow?"

"no problem!"

Liu Zhonghai’s wife said with a smile.

Jia Dongxu stared at Yan Bugui, "Yan Bugui, what about you?"

"I can do that, too." Yan Bugui said dejectedly. He had planned everything, but he never expected that he would fail again over such a trivial matter as getting food at the door.

Yan Bugui slapped his hands in regret, wondering what he would do after moving in.

Suddenly he seemed to think of something and nodded secretly. Maybe this arrangement would give his family a chance.

Yan Bugui grabbed his distressed wife and went home with a gloomy face.

Seeing Yan Bugui leave, Jia Dongxu asked everyone to go and rest.

"Dongxu, what should we do with the vegetables that were taken away?" someone asked.

Jia Dongxu said angrily, "Serves him right! Didn't I tell him not to take it during the last meeting? Who can you blame if you let him go?"

"Why, you want to let Yan Bugui take the food on purpose, then complain to me and ask Yan Bugui for compensation?" Jia Dongxu pointed at the crowd angrily, "If that's the case, I'll send you to the police station. How dare you deliberately induce people to make mistakes."

Someone took advantage of someone last time and wanted to do the same trick again this time, but when he saw Jia Dongxu exposed him, he quickly left.

"Really? He is not strong himself, but he deliberately frames others." Jia Dongxu said, looked at the people who dispersed, and moved the table into the house.

"Dongxu, thanks to you, otherwise Zhuzi and I would have been bullied by Yan Bugui." Jia Zhang walked into the house, closed the door and said.

"Well, what a jerk." Jia Dongxu thought about it and sat aside.

"Zhu Zi, where are the wine and food? Don't we want to have a drink?"

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't come down and put it away."

Bring out the wine and food.

"I made you some beef bone soup, which is good for your body. There shouldn't be much left. Do you want to drink it?" Sha Zhu laughed.

"Hah!" Jia Dongxu rubbed his weak waist. It turned out that what he said about sex being a knife to scrape bones was right.

"Hey, wait." Sha Zhu laughed.

Jia Zhang came over with a bowl and chopsticks, "Dongxu, you are still young, be careful, you look thin."

"Here, the beef bone soup is here, drink it while it's hot." Sha Zhu handed it over, "I want to drink it, but Aunt Jia won't let me."

After hearing this, Jia Zhang couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Even if you're married, I won't let you drink. You can drink every day."

After hearing this, Jia Dongxu's face turned dark and he picked up the soup and drank it slowly.

After a while, I felt warm all over and very comfortable.

"Zhu Zi, have another bowl. It makes you feel warm all over. It's so comfortable." Jia Dongxu said with a smile and handed over the wine poured by Sha Zhu.

"Zhu Zi, I won't drink today. You can drink by yourself. I'll eat with you for a while."

Sha Zhu handed over the soup, picked up the wine glass and drank it, then couldn't help asking, "Dongxu, you said there's something happy going on for me, tell me about it."

Jia Dongxu drank the soup and said, "Well, in a few days, Huairu's sister-in-law will bring a girl over for a blind date with you."

"Really? That's great." Sha Zhu said with a smile, "Come on, let's have a drink. You drink the soup and I drink the wine."

"Dongxu, whose child is this?" Jia Zhang asked from the side.

"The eldest girl from my fourth uncle's family." Jia Dongxu said.

Jia Zhang nodded and said, "Oh, it's that girl. I've seen Zhou Zheng since she was a child. She should be pretty good now."

"Zhu Zi, I didn't expect you to have this blessing. You must treat others well in the future."

Jia Dongxu thought about it, and then said, "But they have three daughters in their family. I am a little worried."

"What are you worried about? Are you worried that their entire family will move to Zhuzi's house?" said Jia Zhang.

"Well, after all, we don't have a son, so it's hard to say what will happen in the future," said Jia Dongxu.

Jia Zhang thought for a while and said, "Well, this is a problem. Life in the village is too hard, and everyone wants to move to the city. Zhuzi will make money, and if that girl is a little biased, it will only make Zhuzi suffer in the end."

"Zhu Zi, what do you think about this?" asked Jia Zhang.

"It's just five people. I can afford it." Sha Zhu said while drinking.

After hearing this, Jia Dongxu dropped the bowl and pointed at Sha Zhu, "You're talking nonsense. If you say that, I don't agree with this marriage! You won't have children after marriage? You will only have one child?"

"Mom, you should go back to the village tomorrow and explain this matter to Fourth Uncle's family. I don't want my brother to end up raising a bunch of blood-sucking worms."

"Zhu Zi can give them 5 yuan every month for their retirement. The children are not allowed to take care of them and are not allowed to come to Zhu Zi's house." Jia Dongxu said angrily.

"Oh, it's really hard to deal with such a big family." Jia Zhang sighed.

"Mom, I was worried when my second uncle told me about this. We get along well with Zhuzi, and we don't want him to live a miserable life in the future."

"Yes, that's the truth, Zhuzi. You have to know that no matter how much money you make in the future, it belongs to the He family. You can't use it to subsidize your mother's family."

"Okay, Aunt Jia, I'll remember it." Sha Zhu was unhappy after hearing that.

Jia Dongxu said at the side, "Zhu Zi, don't be unhappy. You have to remember that kindness breeds hatred. The more you give, the more others will want."

"Okay, you won't understand even if I say so much. You just need to know that I can help you before you get married, but after you get married, I can't interfere in your family affairs."
