Siheyuan: The Rebirth of the Silly Pillar in the 50s

Yi Zhonghai withdrew from the Liu family's father-son battle and walked in the courtyard thinking.

The battle just now stimulated him greatly.

If this is the case for biological father and son, wouldn't it be even more risky for him, the one who supports his godson?

Liu Guangqi obviously hates Liu Haizhong.

He believed that Liu Guangqi's hatred did not entirely come from Liu Haizhong's long-term beatings in the past.

But Liu Haizhong slapped Tianzao instead of Tianzao, which made Liu Guangqi unable to feel the benefits from his father.

He wanted to draw lessons from this incident.

Although Jia Dongxu is stupid, he still listens to himself.

Why is that?

It wasn't because Yi Zhonghai found a job for Jia Dongxu.

A job is not enough to tie Jia Dongxu down.

Yi Zhonghai felt that if he wanted to tie Jia Dongxu's life to him, he must give him more benefits.

For example, find him a wife personally.

This wife can't be too good, because if he finds a wife who is too good for him.

The benefits given to Jia Dongxu by his daughter-in-law's natal family may exceed his own.

The conditions must be suitable in all aspects, but there are one or two shortcomings that are barely bearable.

In this way, Jia Dongxu's daughter-in-law will also be grateful to him and obey him.

If he had a conflict with Jia Dongxu, his wife's deaf ears could also play some role.

Yi Zhonghai was equivalent to getting a helper.

Thinking of this, he stopped waiting. When he got home, he took five kilograms of white flour and five kilograms of stick noodles and hurried to Jia's house.

When Jia Zhang saw the food delivered by Yi Zhonghai, her eyes lit up greedily.

"Lao Yi, why did you deliver it so early this time? Do you still have enough food for this month?"

Yi Zhonghai could tell what she meant.

Deliberately changing the topic: "Sister-in-law Zhang. I came here to discuss Jia Dongxu's matter with you."

"You can make the decision regarding Dongxu's affairs. Didn't we agree that I won't interfere in his education?"

"Yes. But he still needs to discuss with you, the mother, about starting a family."

"Are you going to introduce someone to Dongxu?"

Jia Zhang immediately pulled Yi Zhonghai to sit down and poured him a glass of water herself.

"To be honest, Lao Yi. I've wanted to tell you this for a long time. Dongxu has a job now and is almost 20 years old. It's time to start a family. If you can come to me, there must be someone Have you chosen it? Are you from the city? Are you a female worker in your steel rolling mill?"

Yi Zhonghai was a little surprised when he heard this.

Doesn’t Mr. Jia and Zhang know what their family’s conditions are like?

You actually want to find someone in the city for Jia Dongxu?

The girls in the city are the most picky, especially those whose parents are still alive. Can they like Jia Dongxu, a temporary worker?

"I haven't chosen one yet. I just want to ask you if you have any requirements for the woman. Then I can find a matchmaker to help find her."

"Our family is not very demanding either."

Jia Zhang said eloquently: "First, it must be from the city. Second, the parents must have jobs in the city. Third, our family does not give betrothal gifts, but their family must give dowry."

"what?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned.

He thought to himself: Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

Isn't this an obvious empty-handed wolf?

What kind of little girl's parents can agree to this?

"What's wrong? I don't think my requirements are too high. You see, our Dongxu is from the city, so he can't find someone from the countryside, right? Although I don't have a job, our old Jia was also a worker before he died. Then the other party's parents must have Only workers can be worthy of it, right? Workers have pensions when they are old and have no burdens. I don’t need to explain the bride price, right? With our family’s conditions, do you think we can afford a bride price?”

"If your family can't afford the bride price, let the other party give the dowry. The other party is not a fool. Who's parents would be happy!"

"Why are you not happy?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang said confidently: "Our Dongxu looks good and is a worker. It's a blessing for them to find us like Dongxu! It's pie in the sky! I worked hard to raise my son so big , we can’t let them take advantage of it in vain, right?”

"Then she still worked hard to raise her daughter. We can't let your family take advantage of it in vain, right?"

"What are you talking about, Lao Yi?"

Jia Zhang frowned and said, "Do you think our Dongxu is not worthy of such a person?"

"no……"

Yi Zhonghai sighed and decided to keep his temper and reason with Jia Zhang.

"Dongxu is a man after all. If you don't give a bride price, let others take the dowry. In the old society, isn't this just a son-in-law? Men who go out to be a son-in-law are looked down upon. You can't just think about money and not consider Jia Dongxu's situation. Think about it!”

"makes sense……"

Jia Zhang thought for a while and felt that it made sense.

"Right. So you have to give the bride price. As for people from rural areas or cities, I don't think you should take it too seriously. Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man is mainly about..."

"Our family can't afford this gift, but Lao Yi, your family can afford it!"

Jia Zhang looked at Yi Zhonghai excitedly.

Yi Zhonghai, who was interrupted, was immediately stunned.

"what do you mean?"

"Jia Dongxu is now your godson. When your godson gets married, don't you, the godfather, express your gratitude?"

Yi Zhonghai was confused.

He felt like he had jumped into a big pit, and it seemed as if he had dug it himself.

"I am a godfather but not a biological father, how could I..."

"You can't say that, Lao Yi."

Jia Zhang's face turned dark immediately and said: "No matter whether you are your biological father or your godfather, you are still a father. Isn't it natural for a father to give a gift to his son? Besides, if you have done well, Jia Dongxu can still I won’t miss you, okay? Which one is more cost-effective than this small gift or Jia Dongxu’s support for you in the future?”

Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath.

He was gradually convinced by Jia Zhang.

If he wants to get something in return, he must pay first.

But he knew that he couldn't agree so quickly, lest she open her mouth like a lion.

"We can put the bride price aside for now. After all, it depends on the woman's wishes. Let's talk about the other two conditions first."

"The bride price is enough. I can't find any kind of woman. I think the bride price is the serious thing."

"The horoscope has not yet been written. How can the bride price be a serious matter? We must first choose a range and find a suitable one from this range. Then we will see what the woman wants?"

"If you can give more gifts, Dongxu will have a wider range of choices! Nowadays, things are not all about money."

"Did I say I won't give you a betrothal gift? I mean, let's talk about what Dongxu wants to find first. The betrothal gift will depend on the situation."

"Then how much gift can you give me?"

Jia Zhang directly grasped the key point and got closer to question Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't bear it anymore and exploded!

He immediately threw the cup and lost his temper and said: "Bowwow's gift! Betrothal gift! Betrothal gift! You know the betrothal gift! I'm looking for a partner for your Dongxu family, and you just keep asking for the betrothal gift! I don't think you should look for it anymore, you Just let Dongxu get married! Go and knock on the door! Then you don’t even have to give a bride price!"

"Why are you so angry? I have agreed to negotiate with you, but you are still impatient. You are still not sincere in helping us. If you were sincere in helping us, you would have told us how much gift you would give."

"I'm looking for a partner for Dongxu, not marrying you. Why do you keep asking me how much the bride price is?"

"Stop!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang suddenly looked shy and said: "When Lao Jia died, I swore a poisonous oath to guard him like a jade."

Yi Zhonghai's eyes widened and his chest heaved.

He urgently needs a quick-acting heart-saving pill.

Or just leave this place of right and wrong.

Obviously, he chose the latter.

"We have nothing to talk about anymore, Mrs. Jia Zhang. It has nothing to do with me what kind of partner you want to find for Dongxu. Farewell!"

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai turned around and left.

"Old Yi!"

Jia Zhang was a little panicked when she saw him leaving, so she quickly called him and tried to save him.

Yi Zhonghai acted as if he hadn't heard anything and strode home.

He felt that it was a mistake to come to Jia Zhang to talk about these things today.

He rejected all the ideas he had just thought.

Jia Zhang is a greedy person! People who don’t take enough advantage! A man with a weak head!

Didn't she want to think about why he, Yi Zhonghai, was so enthusiastic about helping their family?

What good would it do to their family to offend Yi Zhonghai!

She has narrowed her path!

She simply wanted to make Yi Zhonghai angry to death.

myself too!

The veins on Yi Zhonghai's neck popped out in anger, and he cursed at the courtyard: "I have to find this unhappiness! I have to find it for myself! He still cares about other people's wives. Just do this to Jia Zhang, Jia Dongxu can Find a good wife!"

He thought angrily that Jia Dongxu would marry whoever he wanted, as long as he could give birth to two sons, one would be given to him.

How good it is that he picked it up ready-made.

Why does he need to take care of Jia Dongxu's life?

My own father couldn't do anything like him.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai got home, he lay down without taking off his shoes.

Seeing him like this, Gao Xiaocui asked with concern: "Lao Yi, what's wrong with you?"

"You don't have to worry about it! Stop interrupting!"

His roar frightened Gao Xiaocui so much that he didn't dare to speak.

Gao Xiaocui also murmured in her heart. Ever since Yi Zhonghai got involved with the Jia family, he hadn't seen a smiling face for a day.

I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse for him to find this person to support him in his old age.

……

"Mom, what happened to my master? I just saw him running home angrily, and he didn't even say hello when he saw me."

Jia Dongxu just went home at this time.

He saw Yi Zhonghai coming out of his home, so he asked.

"Don't worry about him! It's none of our business to make you angry."

Mrs. Jia Zhang adjusted her mood and asked Jia Dongxu with a smile: "Mom, I gave you a daughter-in-law, what do you think?"

"So what? That's great, Mom!"

Jia Dongxu gradually became excited and pestered Jia Zhang to ask: "Do you have anyone chosen? What does he look like? Is he from the city? I like Shiba."

"No one has been selected yet."

Jia Zhang touched Jia Dongxu's head and said, "But my son is so good. I'm sure he can find a good one. Just look for him in the way you like. You tell me, and I'll find a matchmaker to arrange it for you tomorrow."

Mrs. Jia Zhang thought: Isn’t it just to find a wife for her son? Without him, would Yi Zhonghai still be found?
