Siheyuan: The farm in my mind is in your hands.

According to the Lou family, no dowry is necessary.

Their family was not short of money.

However, Chen Jianghe still sent over twenty yuan and fifty kilograms of food coupons, which could only be considered medium-sized.

Of course, this money and food coupons are rewards from the space.

Ever since he upgraded the system space explosively, there has been no upgrade option in the mall. It is estimated that it was blown up all of a sudden.

Now the only things refreshed on the mall panel were the money and food coupons that were synchronized with this era, but this just happened to solve Chen Jianghe's urgent need.

Just be careful when using it. There's nothing wrong with the thing, it's just that its origin is hard to explain.

The entire courtyard had no idea that Chen Jianghe had become arrogant again. The principle of not showing off one's wealth applies everywhere.

Time flies and it’s time to start work.

As the winner of the Advanced Individual Award, Chen Jianghe had no intention of neglecting today's work.

He went to find his master after finishing his work early. The work in the workshop was not so strict now.

If you need to go out for a while, your salary will not be deducted, but you cannot be absent for the whole day.

When Master Niu heard that his adopted apprentice wanted to get a marriage certificate, he said, "This is a good thing. Go quickly! I'll be watching over you here."

So they picked up Lou Xiao'e and went straight to the street office.

In these days, marriage certificates are handwritten at the street office, and then stamped, and that's it.

Before the two of them left, they were stopped by Director Wang.

"Chen Jianghe, you have got your marriage certificate. Congratulations."

"There's something else I need to tell you."

In order to make up for his previous negligence in work, Director Wang specially helped Chen Jianghe's family check the archival materials.

She actually discovered where Chen's mother went!

Today I happened to see Chen Jianghe coming to the street office to get his certificate, so I thought of telling him the good news so that I don’t have to make another trip.

As for whether Chen Jianghe should go and bring his mother back, that was not something she had to consider.

"I specifically checked your mother's whereabouts that day. Fortunately, our street office has kept the files from that time."

"In 53, you had a sister who married in Huating County."

"In the summer of 56, your mother received a letter from Huating County and came to our street to get a letter of introduction before leaving for a long journey."

Two years passed in the blink of an eye. I don’t know if Chen’s mother was delayed by something and she never came back.

Director Wang had a feeling that the situation might not be good, but since there was no letter from the other side, she couldn't make any random guesses.

It would be better to tell Chen Jianghe the address and let him decide for himself.

"Are you sure it's Huating County, Director Wang?"

When Chen Jianghe suddenly heard the news about the original owner's mother, his heart paused.

After all, the other person is one's blood relative in this world, so it would be best if one could find him or her back.

"That's right! I checked it several times. It's in Zhaojiazhuang, Huating County, a family called Zhao Qing."

"If you go there, you will definitely find clues based on this address."

Director Wang is very serious about her work. She has personally confirmed the address, and the name of the village has not changed.

"Okay, can you give me a letter of introduction so I can go and bring my mother back?"

Lou Xiao'e was also happy for Chen Jianghe. After all, she was her husband's biological mother, and she would have an elder in the family in the future.

She just hoped that her mother-in-law would be easier to get along with, and not be the evil one described in the storybooks.

Unfortunately, the letter of introduction can only have the latest date, so he has to wait until he is about to leave to get it.

Leave the street office.

A wedding is supposed to be a happy day, and Chen Jianghe was a little excited because he learned the whereabouts of Chen's mother.

On the way back, Chen Jianghe thought about it and decided to confess to Lou Xiaoe:

"Xiao'e, you've also been to the courtyard where I live. To be honest, the situation is a bit complicated. Let me briefly explain it to you first."

"The courtyard is divided into three small courtyards, front, middle and back. Each courtyard has a senior in charge. There are more than 20 families living in it, with a population of about 100 people."

"We live in the front yard. The manager is Yan Bugui, and his house is next to ours."

"This old Yan is an elementary school teacher. He is very stingy. He always loses money if he doesn't take advantage of others. You should be careful and don't get into his way."

"The manager of the Intermediate Court is Yi Zhonghai, who is also a level 6 fitter in the steel rolling mill. He has a bit of a moralistic air."

"The old Yi couple has no children, so Jia Dongxu from the old Jia family across from his house is a core member of the first echelon of Yi Zhonghai's elderly care team."

"Also, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu are both white lotuses. They are hardworking and can endure hardships, but they are definitely not as capable as you."

"The He family lives next door to the Jia family. The father, He Daqing, ran off with the widow a while ago. Now there are only two siblings left, He Yuzhu and He Yushui. Zhuzi is a chef at the steel mill, and his sister hasn't even started junior high school yet."

"Then there's the backyard. The situation there is a little complicated. There's a deaf old lady who is the oldest ancestor in the whole courtyard. She lives alone and is a low-income household. The street gives her five yuan a month for her retirement."

"The man who manages the backyard is called Liu Haizhong. He is an official fanatic and works in a steel mill."

"Also, you should be extra careful with the Xu family you almost had a blind date with. This Xu family is not simple. Old Xu is a projectionist at the steel mill. Not only does he fleece the factory, he also has no moral principles."

"As for Xu Damao, he is also a sinister villain, but he is a bad guy in a very honest way..."

Lou Xiao'e was stunned when she heard this. The last time she came to the Siheyuan, she just thought everyone was so gossipy and didn't really pay attention to the details.

Now that I hear what my man says, it feels even more complicated than palace fighting!

Chen Jianghe continued:

"I was just an ordinary resident in the yard before. The reason why my house was not occupied by others was because my image as a street kid was deeply rooted in people's hearts and others did not dare to bully my family."

"A few years ago, before the public-private partnership, I saved some money by running a small business. Later, I announced that I was bankrupt, but no one suspected me because I was collecting money from people everywhere."

"I have about 2,000 yuan on me, and some food coupons. I don't want anyone to know about my family's wealth, so that people in the courtyard won't be jealous."

"So we won't hold a banquet for the public, but we can hold a big one at your house, and then we can invite your family to a restaurant for another one, and we won't invite anyone from the courtyard."

"Then I went back to the courtyard and told the public that I gave you a gift of ten yuan and took you, uh, married you, do you understand?"

"Yeah, I understand brother. As the saying goes: Don't show off your wealth."

Lou Xiao'e didn't want to make it public because of the sensitive nature of her family background.

Besides, when we live our lives in the future, we will have a limited amount of money, so we need to spend it frugally, and it would be best if we don’t spend it on others.

"That's the truth. Let's go. We didn't have time to eat out last time, so I'll make it up to you this time."

"What do you want to eat, Quanjude or shabu-shabu?"

After Chen Jianghe gave his instructions to his wife, he felt relieved.

From now on, he will just tell the outside world that he has no money. A man living off a woman will at most be envied, but this is not a reason to report him.

As for the source of his money, of course it's because he has a capable wife, uh, and a father-in-law who is a private citizen...

"hiss……"

Judging from the time, my father-in-law probably doesn't have many years of good life left.

Never mind, just take one step at a time, and things will work out when we get there.

At worst, I can just be a trendsetters myself.
