Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

After all, it was the first meal after officially entering the house. Bai Xiaoya didn't feel comfortable eating anymore, and asked in confusion:

"Does your mother not believe you, or does she not believe me?"

"Your choice of words is a bit rude. You should talk to our mom now. It's not that she doesn't believe us. She's probably just excited for the moment. She will react soon."

Before she finished her words, Wang Xiulan rushed in carrying a big bag of things, followed by her second sister who was walking slowly behind her.

After Wang Xiulan entered the house, she hurriedly put down her things and started to scold the second girl, saying that she was a little ungrateful and was carrying heavy objects with a big belly. If something unexpected happened, she would regret it.

After the lecture, she covered her head and listened to her second sister's stammering explanation. After listening patiently, she completely gave up the idea of ​​arguing with her daughter and pulled her second daughter back to the room.

Zhang Xingwang vaguely heard his second sister slowly reading out the marriage certificate and his mother's anxious stamping of feet. He shook his head in confusion and gave the puzzled Bai Xiaoya a look that said "everything is normal", which in turn earned his short-legged wife's response, "This is normal."

Although she was unsure of her mother-in-law's temper, Bai Xiaoya was a woman of good sense and good manners. As soon as the mother and daughter came out happily, she had already served her second sister's meal. She acted well-behaved and enthusiastic, urging her family to eat quickly. After watching the two of them sit down, she continued to eat with peace of mind.

Wang Xiulan was very pleased and thought that her daughter-in-law was a very tactful and informal girl. With such a good granddaughter-in-law around, her mother-in-law would not speak too harshly of her because of her little accident.

After dinner, watching my mother clearing the dishes, my second sister left slowly. While washing the dishes, Wang Xiulan gestured to the two of them to take a look at the things my second sister brought first, and she would make up for anything that was missed.

Although my second sister was a little slow in her work, she was very careful and brought everything needed for the wedding, from thermos to bed sheets and teacups, and even prepared candies and peanuts and melon seeds as gifts.

Bai Xiaoya exclaimed at the sight of the bag of things, "Wow!" and said with emotion that this was a real sister. She was incomparable to her, not to mention the way she did things, even the way she spoke was not on the same level.

He knew his sister was about to get married, but he just said all kinds of good things to her without showing any sincerity in his actions. He even ran away when her sister went to the capital, leaving her with ugly clothes. What's the point of that? It would be better to keep some meat tickets to satisfy his hunger.

Zhang Xingwang looked at his mother who was more excited than himself about getting married, and reluctantly asked her to take a break to calm her mind. He whispered that his daughter-in-law had misunderstood him as a late sleeper, and if he got a headache or fever again...

After hearing this, Wang Xiulan resisted the urge to turn around and went back to the house. Then she took out a piece of paper and gave it to Bai Xiaoya mysteriously. In return, Bai Xiaoya called her "Mom". She was stunned for a moment before returning to the house in a daze, feeling anxious and worried.

When he got off work in the afternoon, Zhang Xingwang got up and prepared to go distribute wedding candies with Bai Xiaoya. Bai Xiaoya was smiling with her eyes curved and she walked with a breeze.

Because she had exchanged her marriage certificate for fifty yuan from her new mother-in-law, she unconsciously touched her pocket as she walked, thinking happily that her brother's family was indeed a wealthy family, and her mother-in-law was worthy of being a Beijinger. She was so particular and insisted on giving it to her with her eyes wide open, and she couldn't refuse it. It seemed that she was more nervous than she was.

Only Zhang Xingwang was powerless to complain. His mother had not had any income since she gave her job to her eldest sister. This money should be a gift from her sisters after they received their paychecks and her own salary.

Zhang Xingwang’s salary was all handed over to my mother. I questioned him several times, and after learning that he had “all kinds of kickbacks”, although her face was not very calm, she still accepted it with her hands covering her head.

Giving Bai Xiaoya fifty is not the limit for me. I am a very frugal person. I only buy vegetables for my family, and the rest of the things, even needles and thread, are sent by my two sisters. Considering the status of Bai Xiaoya in my heart, giving her fifty means either that I am planning to play the long game to catch a bigger fish, or that I am trying to make her forget about sleeping in.

The fourth sister, who was holding the bag as a background, volunteered to tell her new sister-in-law in detail about the situation of each household in the courtyard, and emphasized to remind the Jia and Yi families how difficult her deaf old lady was to deal with.

Seeing Zhang Xingwang's comforting look, Bai Xiaoya replied nonchalantly:

"Don't worry, they are just a few old men and women. I am very good at bullying old men, and I can also easily bully the older brothers."

Zhang Xingwang's face darkened, and he quickly explained to her, asking her to give up the idea of ​​taking the initiative, saying that he used to fan the flames and act as a mastermind, and that he had to learn to hide himself from the public.

However, Bai Xiaoya's personality is not suitable for staying behind the scenes. She is the kind of reckless person who would charge into a battle without thinking. Being bullied is not her style. She is better at making others bully her.

The delivery of the wedding candies went smoothly at first. Yan Bugui performed stably. After taking two portions, he smiled sincerely. He put the things away swiftly and said a few festive words carefully. Zhang Xingwang took advantage of the fact that Yan Jiecheng and his wife were not out and left quickly after delivering the candies.

Although the deaf old lady looked unwilling, she sighed and retracted her hand after extending it halfway a few times. She didn't dare to provoke the gossipy guy anymore.

After she mentioned the plan of using someone else's power as a substitute last time, she went to Zhang Xingwang's house twice to buy meat but was rejected both times. Sha Zhu's marriage became the old lady's weakness. This kid was mean and scheming. What if this gossipy guy made up stories about her stupid grandson again?

Things obviously changed when they arrived at the Jia family. As soon as the smart boy Banggeng made an effort and said "I want them all", Jia Zhang instantly turned into a good grandmother who would respond to any request. She raised her head and said:

"Zhang family boy, it's fine if you don't set up two tables for such a big event as your wedding, but why are you so stingy with the candies? You don't need these candies, just give them all to my beloved grandson. You can just give some sunflower seeds to the rest of the families."

Qin Huairu, who was holding Xiaodang at the side, was held by the stick and swayed for a long time. She suddenly had a brain twitch and subconsciously said in a pitiful way:

"Xingwang, my sister-in-law's family is in a bad situation, and the child hasn't had candy for a long time. Just give them some to sweeten their mouths. Just think of it as my sister-in-law asking you to borrow it..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted. Bai Xiaoya looked at Qin Huairu carefully, smiled slightly, and interrupted with a chuckle and asked:

"Does my sister-in-law think that I look like a Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering?"

Qin Huairu was so shocked by this sentence that she even forgot the rest of the sentence. She was stunned for a moment before she realized that the other party seemed to be mocking her. Looking at the other party's smiling expression, she thought that it didn't seem to be the case. How should she respond? Should she praise the other party for being kind-hearted or say that the other party was stingy? Anyway, it would be inappropriate to continue to play the victim.

Before she could figure out how to respond, Jia Zhang got angry. Jia Zhang was a persistent person. Jia Dongxu was still alive, so in order to save some face for her son, she was somewhat restrained.

Besides, Bodhisattvas and the like were none of her business. That was Old Jia's problem. He said to Zhang Xingwang in a sarcastic tone:

"Zhang Xingwang, why don't you say anything? Don't be ungrateful. I've given you two pairs of shoes, but you can't even give me a little candy. You are such a heartless guy..."

Bai Xiaoya looked at the fat aunt in front of her, frowned and said:

"I don't know about the shoes, but when you put it like that, you have to be really stupid to give you the candy."

Zhang Xingwang originally wanted to let Bai Xiaoya experience the dangers of the compound, but in order not to lose his conscience for no reason, it seems he has to find another opportunity.

He immediately protected his eager daughter-in-law behind him, moved the corners of his mouth, and prepared to try to reason with the unreasonable Jia Zhang:

"Aunt Jia, what you said is not right. Let's put the shoes aside. We have already paid for them. I understand your desire to give candy to your grandson, but I guess you would be embarrassed to take it for nothing. Look, my wife hasn't worn your shoes yet. A few candies are easy to talk about. I have a win-win idea."

Jia Zhang looked at Zhang Xingwang, who was acting familiar, and subconsciously pushed Qin Huairu, who regretted asking for candy, behind her, frowning and saying:

"Don't even think about it. You want to exchange my shoes for a few candies? Are you still sleepy or are you really stupid?"

Zhang Xingwang's smile did not fade at all, and he continued slowly:

"You look anxious again, chatting... um... that is to say, communication must be done in a proper way and method. As long as communication is good, everything can definitely be discussed.

Aunt Jia, are you short of shoes? Your family is famous for being short of everything except shoes. How about you listen to my win-win idea?

We can starve adults but not children. Banggeng has been smart since he was young. What if he starves and doesn’t grow? After all, this is not his father’s specialty…”

Jia Zhang interrupted Zhang Xingwang impatiently and replied confidently:

"You mean you want to call for donations to my family? Not impossible, but it depends on how much you want to donate."

"Don't make a fuss, Auntie. Your family is not in need. Brother Dongxu has hands and feet, so why should he donate money? You can't afford to lose face..."

Jia Zhang interrupted Zhang Xingwang again and replied with a troubled look on her face:

"I don't have anything else to talk to you about except donations. I don't want any candy either. You two should leave now."

After saying this, without waiting for Zhang Xingwang to answer, he pulled the stubborn stick with one hand and the silent Qin Huairu back with the other hand, and continued with a dark face and annoyance:

"You're married now, so don't come to our house anymore. Anyway, I absolutely don't agree with Qin Huairu going to the street office to look for you."

Zhang Xingwang was also confused, thinking that Jia Zhang was thinking of using a backdoor to find him? But her reaction made him look like a wolf grandmother, and she even said something like the street office was looking for me.

But today is my big wedding day, and after thinking it over, I decided it was better to mind my own business. I'll talk to her about the new shoes when I have the chance.

Asking Bai Xiaoya to continue delivering wedding candies, Bai Xiaoya frowned as she looked at Jia Zhang, who was leaning against the window as if facing a great enemy. She turned her head in confusion and gave her sister-in-law a questioning look, then continued to deliver candies.

After learning about Jia Zhang's shoemaking skills from her sister-in-law, Bai Xiaoya no longer had any thoughts about the Jia family. She felt that Zhang Xingwang was making a fuss about nothing and that it was just a pair of shoes.

After hurriedly sending the remaining few families, she asked expectantly if she could be taken to the pigeon market in the evening. Zhang Xingwang also smiled, thinking that she was looking down on him, and replied with a wink:

"No problem going. Once we're done with our business, I'll be there for you any time you want."

"Brother, do you have some conspiracy in mind with this expression? Anyway, you agreed to this."

When I got home, the house had changed. My second sister was leisurely cutting wedding characters, and her brother-in-law was cooperating with her to stick them on the wall. My mother was directing my eldest sister and her husband to clean up the house. Except for my second sister, everyone in the family was busy.

Seeing Zhang Xingwang come in, the little girl came running over, covering her butt, and said with a sad face that she didn't want to sleep in the front yard, and hesitantly asked him not to chase her away.

Later Zhang Xingwang found out that his mother had already made arrangements, saying that she and her two daughters would live in the upstairs house in the front yard today. The little girl's butt hurt just because she was simply disobedient. The fourth sister had been sent by her mother to make the bed in the front yard.

After the meal, the family members left one after another. Even the little girl happily followed her mother with the grapes and sack.

Bai Xiaoya then felt something was wrong and started to wander around looking for work, as if she would be busy until dawn. Looking at his short-legged wife who looked increasingly uneasy, Zhang Xingwang yawned and said,

"Oh, it's almost ten o'clock. Shouldn't we go to bed?"

"Just sleep, what's so funny? Which room should I sleep in?"

Seeing the short-legged wife who had been looking for work but had obviously been secretly dressing up for a long time, her fair skin glowed attractively under the dim light, coupled with her proud look, Zhang Xingwang unconsciously bent over and replied casually:

"Just sleep in my room. Today is our wedding night. If you're nervous, why don't we have a drink?

After all, your parents' home is far away, so if you don't like anything or are unhappy about something, you must tell me. After all, you are mine now, and I will not let you suffer any injustice."

"Brother, your words warm my heart. Let's just drink. We still have to go to the Pigeon Market after that. If you want to drink, let's go there."

Bai Xiaoya was not the kind of person who would hesitate. After all, she had already obtained the marriage certificate. It was not her style to escape at the critical moment. Thinking of what her second sister-in-law said, the first time would only take the time to boil a pot of water. She gritted her teeth and resolutely went into the house, thinking about finishing it quickly so as not to delay her trip to the pigeon market.

Looking at his short-legged wife lying on the bed ready to die, Zhang Xingwang chuckled, turned off the lights, and said jokingly:

"If you look like this, forget about going to the Pigeon Market today. I'll teach you a song. If you learn it, we'll go right away..."

Zhang Xingwang opened his eyes refreshed, looked at the watch and found that it was almost nine o'clock. Bai Xiaoya also woke up suddenly with a start, pulled the quilt weakly, covered herself tightly, and said with tears in her eyes:

"My second sister-in-law deceived me so badly!"

"You've been complaining about this for half the night, could it be my problem?

Although you used the word "miserable" inappropriately, your singing is pretty good!"

Bai Xiaoya blushed, poked her head out from under the quilt, and replied with gritted teeth:

"You are just an animal, shameless..."

"Yesterday you promised to call me brother before you got up, why are you still going against your will? If you do this, can I go back on my word..."

Bai Xiaoya gave Zhang Xingwang a reproachful look, turned her head away and said "brother" in a half-hearted way, then continued to play ostrich with a blushing face.
