Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

Xu Damao took the stainless steel enamel bowl from his mother and drank the water in big gulps. He then detailed his plan to seek help from the Women's Federation, pointing out its importance in ensuring a stronger and more stable marriage relationship in the future.

"It is necessary to go through some formalities. This will allow the relationship between the two parties to be supervised and recognized by the organization, ensuring the foundation of the marriage is stable. And it seems that Liu Lan seems to care about these formalities very much."

Xu Jili had interacted with Liu Lan many times in the steel plant where he worked before, and had a good impression of her image. Now he was even more moved and agreed with her when he mentioned her. At the same time, he reminded her worriedly, "But Maoer, you have to act quickly!"

In response to this worry, Xu Damao confidently said, "Mom, don't worry. I will go to Liu Lan again tomorrow."

"As for your medication, you still need to continue taking it." Xu's mother couldn't help but sigh softly. "I hope that after we get married, we can find a place for our own children to stay and be with them."

Xu Dahai deeply understands that an adopted son will always belong to someone else.

He immediately agreed to the task.

The air in the old house was once again filled with the scent of Chinese medicine.

When Jia Donghai returned home after work and smelled the familiar scent of Chinese medicine, he wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks.

But thinking of the incident involving the iron pot that had caused a stir in the city, he could only clear his throat, retreat back to the room, and keep silent about it.

Seeing Qian Huahua feeding the little tree, Jia Donghai sat down on the stool and muttered, "I could bear it when Li Lao bullied me before, but today Xu Dahai dared to take advantage of me. I can't live like this."

After a flash of inspiration came to his mind, he suggested to Qin Huahua: "Maybe we should take our mother home. Last time, my father-in-law sent a telex saying that our mother was not living a happy life in her hometown."

If the woman from the Zhang family still stayed at home, Xu Dahai would definitely not be so arrogant and violent.

She has been oppressed so much by the Zhang family that she still has to work hard even if she returns home. If she gets something for nothing, she will have nothing to eat. How can the Zhang family live a good life then?

Qin Huahua pursed her lips and smiled: "Donghai, the community has the final say on this matter. If mom comes back without changing her ways, the community will definitely not agree to take her back. We have to wait patiently."

Feeling helpless about this answer, Jia Donghai could only nod in agreement.

After hearing what the other party said, Qin Huahua breathed a sigh of relief and gently stroked the little tree bud's head.

Without the woman from the Zhang family, her world seemed to be missing a huge mountain.

If given the chance, I hope the woman from the Zhang family will never set foot in this house again.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Ever since Liu Lan lost her husband, many matchmakers have come to her to propose marriage to her, despite her young age and pretty face.

However, the people involved are either those with damaged eyes and weak legs, or those with poor backgrounds and no proper jobs.

Liu Lan looked at all the people recommended by these people one by one.

Occasionally, I meet some people who have excellent conditions but are already married, so I give up.

She knew very well that she was a beautiful flower by the roadside, exuding fragrance and with a pure and sympathetic appearance.

When I like it, I will take it in my hands and rub it to make myself happy.

If you don’t like something, just throw it into the ditch. Never treat it as if there is any real affection between you and it.

Xu Dahai's situation is different.

He urgently needed the two children of the woman from the Zhang family to support his image and take care of him in his old age.

Liu Lan and Xu Dahai need each other, so naturally they pay more attention and expectations to each other.

After returning home, she took her two children, Zhou Hailong and Zhou Haishui, to the Zhang family's hometown to visit her mother.

Liu Lan's mother lives in Liumawan, a suburb of Beijing. As soon as you enter the village, you can see a typical rural house from afar.

A simple adobe house with a thatched roof, mottled colors formed on the yellow mud and slogans written in white lime on the walls.

The family Liu Lan was born into only had her mother, who was nearly 60 years old, and her three brothers, all of whom were married and had their own families. Some of them had already built new houses in the village. The eldest and second brothers moved out and built new houses; while the third brother was married and still lived in the old house with his mother.

According to the customs and practices in the capital, the youngest son would not inherit the family business; but since Liu Lan's parents doted on their youngest son, this decision seemed reasonable.

When they learned that Liu Lan had important news to tell her family, all family members were forced to gather and return home. In this narrow thatched house, the dim light swayed in the breeze, as if it could be completely extinguished in an instant.

"Oh, third brother, you are so reluctant to even buy some kerosene." The eldest daughter-in-law had a strong personality. She stood up and grabbed a sewing needle, trying to make the wick of the kerosene lamp brighter.

The third sister-in-law said disdainfully: “Don’t always think that you don’t have to worry about our family affairs, you are so generous.

Now the old woman's asthma has recurred, and the medical expenses alone cost her a nickel.

All the money earned from raising chickens has been spent on this, so how can I get money to buy oil?

If you really care about me, just bring your oil cans over here, and I can light two oil lamps for Grandma at night."

This series of questions hit the nail on the head, causing the atmosphere in the room to suddenly become tense.

"You didn't tell us about the Third Brother's family's grandmother's illness?" The eldest daughter-in-law's face was livid. "The old lady lives in your house to work for you. Who in Liumagou doesn't know that she is a master in the fields? The five acres of land in your family are taken care of by the old lady alone. Besides, there is a big girl in the family who can make money. She gets a salary every month, which is more decent than those of us who work in the fields. If you need to borrow money, just ask your precious daughter."

Hearing this, Liu Lan gritted her teeth and thought about her response. In the dim light, her face was gloomy. Not long ago, in order to take care of the old man's illness, the third sister-in-law got five yuan back from Liu Lan; this was a vital amount of money to the Liu family. She would never tell this experience, otherwise it might anger the eldest sister-in-law who was known for her impatient personality.

Snapped!

The eldest brother pulled up his boots and hit the chair next to him hard.

"Why are you arguing? My sister came to discuss important matters with us this morning. Who are you yelling at home for?"

As the most influential eldest son in the Liu family, his position was similar to that of the number one person in the family. Faced with his reproachful voice, the third sister-in-law had nothing to say.

The eldest sister-in-law lowered her head and whispered: "Is it okay for a man to only lose his temper in front of his wife?"

"Snapped!"

As soon as the voice ended, a pair of large straw sandals covered in mud flew towards her head.

It fell to the ground with a plop, and the dirt spread out on the ground.

The sister-in-law no longer dared to speak.

He lowered his head, picked up the shoes on the ground, and brought them to his older brother.

This pair of shoes cost fifteen eggs to make. If it is lost, my sister-in-law will not be able to sleep all night.

just now.

The mother, who had been bending over to mend clothes, put down the needle and thread in her hand, raised her head and looked at her eldest brother with a cloudy vision:

"Son, when will you change the bad temper you learned from your dead father? How did you yell at your wife?

Isn't it right for a man to scold his wife like this?

Before getting married, my daughter also had family education. If someone scolded Xiaolan (my eldest brother's child) like you did,

Will you feel satisfied?

"Mom, I'm just a little anxious," the eldest brother scratched his head and grinned foolishly.

The eldest sister-in-law sat up and moved to the warm bed, pouting and saying, "Mother, you don't know, your stinky eldest son is really annoying."

"Oh, what about Dafang? If my eldest son does anything inappropriate again, you can come to me and I will make the decision."

The eldest sister-in-law made an expression like a little wife to the eldest brother, and then the brother responded with a silly smile sitting on the chair. This scene stunned everyone present. They found that although the old lady was old, she was indeed like the guardian of the family.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became comfortable.

Mother gently stroked her sister-in-law's arm, then turned to look at Dafang with a serious expression: "My daughter, everyone here knows you are here. If you have any questions, just say it. Let us family members think about it and discuss it together."

No matter that Liu Lanniang lived in the home of her youngest son, she was still deeply concerned about her poor eldest daughter.

Unfortunately, her husband Zhou Chaoxian died young, leaving behind only two children.

What makes her even more distressed is that her little daughter is as beautiful as a flower and has a unique personality.

This section is not over yet. Please click on the next page to learn more about the exciting story that follows.

Poverty and beauty often constitute a kind of pain.

It comes from the older generation before liberation, who know too many tragedies.

Liu Lan left her child Haitao and took them to the door to play with her cousin's second child. Then she stood up and told her mother: Mom, my projectionist in the steel factory is called Xu Maoda. If he wants to get married, come and find me...

However, Liu Lan concealed the fact that Xu Mao was infertile.

Liu Lanniang narrowed her eyes slightly and did not answer immediately. On the contrary, the third sister-in-law became interested, "Little sister, what do you think the projectionist does? Those people are usually very arrogant. Every time there is a movie in the village, the village chief will serve them with good cigarettes and good wine."

The eldest brother nodded and agreed: "This is indeed a good thing! Especially when it comes to Xu Damao, he is still a fiancé. If you two get married, it will be a great advantage. Once you marry him, Xiao Hailong and Xiao Haitao will have a father."

After hearing what their eldest brother said, "Hailong" and "Haitao" threw down the pebbles in their hands and turned and ran over when they heard the word "father".

"Hai Long Ma" said: "You know, you said before that our father is a person who sleeps underground, right?" "Yes, you did say that, and when we grow up, our father will wake up."

At this time, Liu Lan realized that she had not told her two children about her marriage to Xu Damao. So she squatted down, stroked the children's faces, and said with a smile: "Little ones, you will have a new father, how do you feel?"

To her surprise, both children shook their heads. "Hai Long said, "The fat uncle who often visits the village even offered to be my father, but I refused."
