Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 162 Lao Jia, please open your eyes and take a look!

Thinking of this, Yu Li walked towards the door and said, "Sister-in-law Jia's family doesn't want to lend it to you. I don't have enough to cook here, so I want to go to your place to make up for it."

With that said, Yu Li opened the door and saw Qin Huairu, who looked embarrassed, standing in front of her door holding a soy sauce bottle.

Seeing Yu Li, Qin Huairu smiled awkwardly, and then said aggrievedly: "Daughter-in-law Zhuzhu, it's really difficult at home, otherwise, I wouldn't open this mouth to you again without paying back what I did last time. "

"Hey, Sister-in-law Jia, you can't say that. It's not easy for anyone these days. No, last time I borrowed half a bottle of soy sauce, my family has no where to go now. I am also anxious to think of something to do."

As soon as Qin Huairu finished speaking, Yu Li sighed and continued.

Qin Huairu's eyes welled up with tears as soon as she heard that Yu Li wanted to take back half the bottle of soy sauce.

"Daughter-in-law, Zhuzi, you also know that my family of five, with four rural registered permanent residences, lives on Dongxu's small salary and rations. It's hard to live with one meal at a time and worry at the next.

I'll lend you your soy sauce and give it to my sister-in-law for a while. When I buy it, I'll return it to you right away. "

Looking at Qin Huairu complaining to her in front of her, Yu Li felt disgusted.

Although she had just moved into this courtyard a few days ago, she still knew a thing or two about the family tradition of the Jia family.

This is the owner of a family who loves to eat and is lazy.

For a family with a large population and small food rations, who wouldn't trade fine grains for coarse grains to make a fool of themselves?

But the Jia family is good. Every time they receive the food, they eat the fine food first. It's just enough for one person to withstand a few meals.

Besides, if one of Jia's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is diligent, their life will not be so tight.

The old saying is true, there must be something hateful about this poor man.

Thinking of this, Yu Li planned to ask Qin Huairu when she could return the soy sauce. After all, no matter how valuable the thing was, it was not brought by the strong wind!
"Daughter-in-law, the second uncle is here. Is your meal ready?"

It just so happened that before Li could say anything, Shazhu, who had entered the courtyard with He Yuanchao, ran up to his wife and asked.

After listening to Silly Zhu's words, Yu Li ignored him and greeted He Yuanchao with a smile: "Second uncle is here."

"Sister-in-law from the Jia family is here too. What, do you have something to do with my wife?"

Seeing Yu Li talking to her second uncle, Shazhu glanced at Qin Huairu standing aside and asked casually.

"It's okay. We met and chatted for a few words."

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she glanced at Silly Zhu and his wife, then at He Yuanchao who was pushing his bicycle this way, then turned around and hurried home.

Pushing the car in front of the window of Silly Zhu's house, He Yuanchao parked the bicycle and said cheerfully to Yu Li who greeted him: "Well, come and see you and Zhu Zhu, how are you? I'm used to living here. Bar?"

"Thank you for your concern, uncle. Everything is fine with me here."

Yu Li, who married Sha Zhu and became the wife of the He family, was no longer as shy as before when she saw He Yuanchao again.

After hearing He Yuanchao's words of concern for her, Yu Li did not hesitate and said openly.

"Okay, second uncle and wife, let's go inside and talk in this cold weather."

Seeing that his second uncle still wanted to stand in the yard and continue chatting, Silly Zhu beside him hurriedly spoke up.

"Yes, second uncle, let's go inside and sit down, chat while eating, and you can also try my cooking."

As soon as Shazhu finished speaking, Yu Li was busy beside him and echoed. "It's really a bit like a husband singing and a wife following." After hearing what the couple said, He Yuanchao muttered something in his heart, and then walked toward the house with Sha Zhu and his wife with a smile.

As soon as he entered the house and looked at the neat and clean furnishings, He Yuanchao couldn't help but nodded. This was much better than when Silly Zhu was alone before. It seemed that he really needed a woman to live his life.

"Daughter-in-law, why did Qin Huairu come to our house just now?"

Taking advantage of the silence while He Yuanchao was looking at the house, Shazhu hurriedly looked at Yu Li beside him and said.

After giving Si Zhu a blank look, Yu Li said angrily: "What else can I do? Let's fight against the autumn wind."

After saying that, he ignored Silly Zhu and rushed to take the military coat that He Yuanchao had just taken off with a smile. He hung the coat and hat on the hook at the door and said cheerfully: "Second uncle, you Sit down and drink with Zhuzi first, and I’ll fry the last two dishes.”

With that said, Yu Li opened the door and walked out after hanging her coat.

As soon as Li left the house, He Yuanchao put on a straight face and asked in a low voice to Silly Zhu: "What, you have a good relationship with Jia's wife?"

After hearing what his second uncle said, Silly Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then said in a hurry: "It's just an ordinary neighbor relationship. Second uncle, please don't spread rumors."

"It's best this way. Otherwise, if you let me hear any rumors, I'll break your legs."

"Don't worry, Second Uncle, your nephew and I are an honest man. I will never do such unreasonable things as digging up graves and knocking on widows' doors."

Looking at his second uncle whose expression softened, Shazhu also joked and assured.

"Damn it, you are so mean-mouthed. You said it's okay. Why are you asking about Qin Huairu's affairs?"

After Sha Zhu complained to himself in his heart, he hurriedly took the thermos bottle on the table and poured water into the enamel basin, and greeted with a smile: "Second uncle, come and wash your face to relieve your fatigue."

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, He Yuanchao looked at him playfully and stopped talking about it.

After the uncle and nephew washed their faces with a basin of water, they sat at the table and drank some wine while talking and laughing.

Siheyuan, Jia family.

"Tell me, why can't you do such a small thing well?"

Qin Huairu's mother-in-law, Mrs. Jia Zhang, swallowed her saliva when she looked at Yu Li who was hurriedly going in and out with dishes opposite her, and couldn't help complaining about her daughter-in-law who was clearing the table.

After glancing at her mother-in-law, who had a gloomy expression, Qin Huairu didn't dare to say anything. Her eyes were red and she quickly collected the dishes and chopsticks in her hands.

"Mom, I haven't eaten enough yet. Why are you cleaning up so quickly?"

"Yes, Mom, I haven't eaten enough either."

Seeing his brother Banggeng yelling away with his chopsticks, Xiaodang who was sitting next to him also started cheering.

When Jia Zhang saw this, her triangular eyes widened, and she opened her mouth and said, "Hey, I just said a few words to you, you are still aggrieved."

After saying that, he glanced sideways at Qin Huairu, then turned to his son and said, "Dongxu, your wife treats your mother like this, and you don't care about her?"

Jia Dongxu, who was sitting at the table and drinking water, listened to his mother's words, glanced at the people in the room, put his face down without saying a word, put the water glass on the table, got up and walked to the bed.

Seeing her son with his head stuck on the bed and not venting his anger, Jia and Zhang stopped immediately. While slapping her thighs, she screamed at Lao Jia to come down and take this evil thing away, so as to save herself the trouble of being exposed here. Feeling angry.
