Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

The second aunt looked at the second uncle who was slumped on the ground. The shock and disappointment in her heart were like surging waves, difficult to calm down.

I once thought that although the couple were not rich, they supported each other and lived a law-abiding life.

But now, the second uncle's stealing behavior was like a bolt from the blue, shattering all the beautiful fantasies in her heart.

She stood up trembling, tears welling up in her eyes but stubbornly refusing to fall.

He looked at the second uncle deeply, and there was anger, disappointment, and more of an unspeakable sadness in his eyes.

Then she turned and left, her back looking so lonely and resolute in the sunlight.

The second uncle looked at the second aunt's departing back, and an indescribable pain surged in his heart.

This time he was really wrong, and very wrong.

He originally just wanted to take advantage of a little, but he didn't expect to lose his wife's trust and respect.

I felt unprecedented shame and regret, as if the whole world had collapsed.

Chen Fei watched all this coldly, but he didn't have any sympathy in his heart.

Sympathy cannot change anything. Only when the second uncle truly realizes his mistakes can he change.

He stood up, dusted himself off, then turned and left, leaving the second uncle alone in the sun with regret.

"Ding! Uncle Er is completely defeated! The host succeeded in confronting others, please draw a prize!"

As the system notification sounded, Fade Chen's mood did not change at all.

He has long been accustomed to this kind of sudden reward, and he also knows that this is just a small milestone on his road to confronting people.

"Get the prize." He said to himself.

In an instant, twenty rice tickets, thirty cloth tickets, ten pork tickets, and fifteen salt tickets appeared out of thin air in his hands.

A few days later, Qin Huairu finally recovered and was discharged from the hospital.

Although her face was still a little pale, her mental state had improved a lot.

To celebrate Qin Huairu's recovery, Sha Zhu specially hosted a banquet at home to entertain Chen Fei.

Qin Huairu was able to recover successfully this time, thanks to Chen Fei's timely rescue.

Chen Fei arrived as promised, and his arrival made Sha Zhu very happy.

The two sat at the table, drinking and talking about interesting things in the courtyard.

Qin Huairu was busy on the side, preparing sumptuous dishes for the two of them.

Just when the dinner was about to begin, Qin Huairu proposed to bring her children along for the meal.

Chen Fei's expression changed slightly and he shook his head coldly.

"Sister Qin, this dinner is between me and my brother Sha Zhu. It might not be appropriate for you to bring the children here." There was an unquestionable firmness in Chen Fei's voice.

Qin Huairu's face changed slightly when she heard this, but she still forced a smile and said, "What are you talking about? The children haven't tasted meat for a long time. I just want them to get some of it too."

"Sister Qin, I understand your intention. But not this time." Chen Fei's attitude showed no sign of softening.

Sha Zhu watched the two people in a stalemate and felt helpless.

But Qin Huairu's request made it difficult for him to refuse.

At this moment, Fade Chen stood up, walked to Qin Huairu, and whispered, "Sister Qin, you should know, but this situation is special, I hope you can understand."

Qin Huairu looked at Chen Fei's determined eyes and couldn't help but waver in her heart.

There was no point in persisting, so he could only sigh helplessly and nodded.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Chen Fei, try this dish. I prepared it especially for you."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of delicious meat and put it into Chen Fei's bowl.

The atmosphere at the dinner became somewhat subtle due to the brief argument between Fade Chen and Qin Huairu.

Although Sha Zhu tried his best to adjust himself, he could not hide the slight embarrassment.

Qin Huairu sat aside. Although she had agreed not to bring the children, she still felt a little unwilling.

Looking at the table full of delicious food, she couldn't help feeling sad.

These dishes were originally intended for the children to taste, but now only she, Sha Zhu and Chen Fei can enjoy them.

She quietly got up, walked to the kitchen, picked out some dishes, put them in bowls, and prepared to give them to the children later.

Although the movement was light, it was still noticed by the sharp-eyed Chen Fei.

Frowning, Fade Chen suddenly felt dissatisfied.

He stood up, walked to the kitchen door, and said coldly: "Sister Qin, what do you mean?"

Qin Huairu was startled by Chen Fei's sudden question and almost dropped the bowl in her hand.

"Nothing, I just wanted to save some for the kids." She turned around and forced a smile.

"What did you leave? These dishes were prepared specially for you by my brother Sha Zhu and I. How can you be so inconsiderate of my feelings?" There was a hint of anger in Fade Chen's voice.

Qin Huairu's face turned pale and blue after hearing what Chen Fei said. Although she was dissatisfied, she could only swallow her anger.

He lowered his head and silently put the bowl in his hand back to its place.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu felt helpless.

He knew Qin Huairu's difficulties and understood Chen Fei's position.

But he knew better that this dinner was originally intended to celebrate Qin Huairu's recovery, but now it had turned out to be so awkward, which was not what he wanted.

The dinner should have been filled with laughter, but it seemed a little dull because of Qin Huairu's interlude.

After three rounds of drinking, Sha Zhu's face was already slightly drunk. He put down his glass and sighed, with a hint of bitterness in his voice: "Fade Chen, do you know? I have something that I have been hiding in my heart, and I don't know what to do."

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He knew that Sha Zhu must be hiding something. He put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "Brother Sha Zhu, you and I have known each other for a long time. If you have any difficulties, you may as well speak frankly."

While Qin Huairu was in the bathroom, Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment and finally spoke: "Sister Qin and I are in love and wanted to get married. But she has a young child at home and her mother-in-law strongly opposes it, so the matter has been at a stalemate."

After hearing this, Fade Chen understood.

"You know that things in this world are never as we wish. But since you have made up your mind, you should move forward bravely." He smiled faintly and clinked his glass with Sha Zhu's.

"I do want to do this, but the situation at that girl's home is complicated. If I force her, I'm afraid it will backfire."

"Wrong. Sometimes, being tough is the best way to solve a problem. If you want to spend the rest of your life with her, you should cut off all her escape routes, leaving her with nowhere to escape and only relying on you."

Sha Zhu was stunned. He never thought that Chen Fei would give such a decisive suggestion.

"This...is this really possible?" He stared at Chen Fei in a daze, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"Just give it a try and you will know. Remember, sometimes being gentle does not solve the problem, but makes things more complicated."

Sha Zhu was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.

But my heart is as confused as a tangled mess.

Sitting alone at the table, he stared at the swaying wine in the glass with a dazed look, as if looking for some answer.

Chen Fei's words echoed in his ears, hitting his heart like a heavy hammer.

Although the suggestion is harsh, it does make sense.

"If I really do this, will she leave me?" Sha Zhu murmured to himself, with a trace of pain and struggle in his eyes.

Chen Fei stood aside, looking at Sha Zhu's appearance, and couldn't help but feel moved.

Sha Zhu is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty, but in this matter, perhaps a more direct approach is needed to solve the problem.
