Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

Hearing this, Jia Zhang stiffened her neck and said, "Auntie Yi, I don't like it if you say that. Bang Geng is still a child. What bad intentions can he have? He is just following the adults' instructions. Do you have to make such a big deal out of it?"

Seeing Jia Zhang's unreasonable behavior, Auntie Yi also became angry and said, "Jia Zhang, it's true that Bang Geng is a child, but you should also teach him well. How can he be so disrespectful?"

Jia Zhang wanted to say something, but Sha Zhu said impatiently, "Okay, let's all go. I still have to go find Yu Shui."

Seeing that there was no one in Yu Shui's room, he knew that Yu Shui was at Lin's house. Lin Ping's family went to work, so Sha Zhu went straight to the back room.

As expected, when he arrived at the back room, he saw He Yushui playing with some children. When he saw Sha Zhu coming over, He Yushui stood up and said, "Sha, why are you here? Aren't you going to work?"

Before he finished speaking, his eyes were glued to the lady's bicycle pushed by Sha Zhu. Thinking of the good things Lin Ping said yesterday, he looked expectant and asked, "Sha Ge, is this the bicycle you bought for me?"

Sha Zhu pushed the bicycle to He Yushui and said, "I did something wrong yesterday, so I bought you a bicycle because you have a long way to go to school. This way, it will be convenient for you to come home more often."

He Yushui stroked the bicycle in surprise and said, "Thank you, silly brother."

Wang Xiuzhi, who heard the noise and came out, also smiled and said, "This is more like a brother."

Sha Zhu scratched his head and said, "Auntie Wang, please stop laughing at me."

He Yushui got the bicycle and immediately took Lin Xuan, Lin Qing, Li Na and Hutou out of the yard to learn how to ride. Sha Zhu chased after them and said, "Go slowly, I'll hold you."

Wang Xiuzhi looked at Sha Zhu's departing back, shook her head secretly and sighed: "I hope you can be more sober and don't be fooled by Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family." After that, she turned and went into the house.

Arriving at the gate of the courtyard, He Yushui said, "Silly brother, I don't need your help. I've practiced at school and I can ride once I'm familiar with it."

Sha Zhu nodded and said, "Okay, you practice slowly, I'll go back to the factory first."

In the afternoon, Yan Fugui came back from fishing and saw He Yushui and a few other girls practicing riding bicycles at the door. He couldn't help but walk up to them and asked, "Yushui, whose bicycle is this?"

He Yushui smiled and said, "Uncle San, this was bought for me by my silly brother."

Yan Fugui was stunned when he heard this, thinking to himself, has this idiot Zhu finally come to his senses and knows how to feel sorry for his sister?

But none of this concerned him. He looked at the new bicycle with envy, then looked at his own old second-hand car, shook his head and went into the yard.

When the rolling mill was off work, Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu Qin Huairu returned to the door and saw He Yushui and the others still practicing riding bicycles. They thought the bicycles belonged to the Lin family. Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "Zhuzi, Yushui is using someone else's bicycle to practice. If it breaks, you will have to pay for it."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu laughed and said, "Uncle Yi, you don't know this. The bicycle is not from the Lin family. I bought it for Yu Shui today. But I asked Pingzi for the bicycle ticket."

Qin Huairu felt a pain in her heart when she heard that the bicycle was bought by Sha Zhu for He Yushui. In her opinion, Sha Zhu's money should be hers. However, Sha Zhu was not under her control yet, so she couldn't say this and could only sigh.

Yi Zhonghai also frowned. In his opinion, why did He Yushui buy a bicycle? A girl would get married sooner or later, so it would be better to keep the money to support the Jia family. This way he would be more relaxed. However, he was a little anxious because Sha Zhu was not so concerned about Qin Huairu. After all, Li Tong in the front yard was still a threat.

If Li Tong heard this, she would definitely spit in Yi Zhonghai's face and think who cares about such a stupid pillar.

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and said, "Zhu Zi, I shouldn't say anything if you buy a car for Yu Shui, but Yu Shui is a girl after all, and you are going to get married. It's not okay to spend money like this. Don't forget that you still have to prepare a dowry for Yu Shui when she gets married."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I can just use the bicycle as my dowry in the future. The sooner I buy it, the sooner I can enjoy it. Don't you think this makes sense?"

Before Yi Zhonghai could speak, Qin Huairu said, "Then you have to think about yourself. You still have to get married, so you don't need money."

Sha Zhu scratched his head and said, "I still have money."

Qin Huairu thought that it seemed that Sha Zhu had saved up a lot of wealth. Just as she was about to say something else, Liu Haizhong, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Li also came behind the crowd.

Liu Haizhong heard Sha Zhu's words from a distance, and was jealous like crazy. He, an old man, didn't even have a bicycle, so how could Sha Zhu have one? So he said in a deep voice: "Sha Zhu, what era is it now? Everyone is hungry, and you still have spare money to buy a bicycle. You should be criticized for your hedonistic style."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu raised his eyebrows and said, "Uncle Er, don't make a big deal out of everything. If you don't agree, you can report it."

Liu Haizhong was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "Silly Zhu, how can you talk like that? Do you still have me as your uncle in your eyes?"

Liu Li just watched the fun without saying a word. Yan Jiecheng was jealous of Sha Zhu buying a car and wanted Liu Haizhong to report it, but he also knew that reporting was useless, so he just watched the fun from the side.

It was just after get off work and people were coming and going. Soon, more and more people were watching. Yi Zhonghai felt embarrassed and said in a deep voice: "If you have anything to say, let's go inside and talk. It's embarrassing to be outside." After that, he turned around and led the way into the yard.

People looked around and left one after another.

New Year's Eve soon arrived, and Yi Zhonghai still dragged the deaf old lady Sha Zhu to the Jia family to celebrate the New Year. He Yushui went to the Lin family angrily, thinking that her silly brother was hopeless.

The third day of the Lunar New Year, Siheyuan.

Two dusty country folks came to the door. Yan Fugui looked at them and asked, "Who are you and what brings you to our yard?"

One of the men came forward and said with a smile: "Uncle San, I am Qin Dashan, Qin Huairu's father. Don't you recognize me?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Fugui looked at Qin Dashan carefully. He had seen Qin Dashan before, but he could not recognize Qin Dashan at this moment. He only saw that Qin Dashan was now in tattered clothes, with a pale face and thin body, and he had almost lost his true shape. However, there was still a shadow of the original Qin Dashan.

Yan Fugui smiled and said, "So it's the Jia family's in-laws. Wait a moment, I'll have someone call Qin Huairu."

After saying that, he turned around and shouted to the courtyard, "Jie Di, go to the middle courtyard and call Qin Huairu and tell her that her father is here."

Then he looked at another person and asked, "Sister, who are you looking for?"

Lin Xueyan said somewhat embarrassedly: "Comrade, I'm looking for Lin Shanhai. I'm his elder sister Lin Xueyan. Please call me."

Upon hearing this, Yan Fugui immediately smiled and said, "It turns out to be Sister Shanhai. Come in quickly. I will take you to find him."

The way she treated Qin Dashan was completely different. Qin Dashan didn't expect that the woman who came with him was actually Lin Shanhai's sister. Thinking of the agreement they had made, Qin Dashan couldn't help but sigh. He had to come to find his daughter this time because his family was on the verge of collapse.

Qin Dashan was waiting for Qin Huairu at the door. Yan Fugui led Lin Xueyan to the back room to find Lin Shanhai. On the way, they met Qin Huairu. Yan Fugui smiled and said, "Huairu, your father is at the door. Go and greet him."

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "I understand, Third Master."

After saying that, she walked out of the yard, feeling sad. Her father came to the old city to find her simply because his family was short of money. But her family was not rich either. Thinking of this, Qin Huairu sighed.

When she saw Qin Dashan, who was so thin that he was almost unrecognizable, at the door, Qin Huairu's eyes immediately turned red. After all, he was her biological father who gave birth to her and raised her. She choked up and said, "Dad, why are you so thin?"

Qin Dashan saw his daughter in tears and said, "Huai Ru, Dad knows it's not easy for you, but if Dad had any way, he would not come to you. The family is really struggling to make ends meet. Without food, people will starve to death. You can't just ignore your family."

Qin Huairu wiped her tears and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Come into the house with me and I'll make you something to eat. Look how thin you are."

Qin Dashan followed Qin Huairu to the yard and said as he walked: "Dad is fine. How long can he live at his age? It's just that your mother and the family have suffered."

Arriving at the Jia family's house in the middle courtyard, Jia Zhangshi saw Qin Dashan but didn't recognize him. However, Yan Jiedi said that he was Qin Huairu's father, so she looked at Qin Huairu with disdain and said, "Where did you get this beggar from?"

Qin Dashan was almost angry to death when he heard this and wanted to leave, but when he thought about his starving family at home, he decided to hold back his anger, because poverty leads to low aspirations.

Seeing Qin Dashan's expression change several times, Qin Huairu quickly explained: "Mom, this is not Huazi, it's my dad who came to see me."

She turned around and asked Qin Dashan to sit down, then went to the kitchen to cook for him.

Jia Zhang occasionally made some gossips, but Qin Dashan did not say anything and just sat there in silence. After a while, Qin Huairu came out with two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge and said, "Dad, eat first, and we'll talk after dinner."

Qin Dashan was really hungry, so he nodded without hesitation and started to eat voraciously.

Let’s talk about the back room.

Yan Fugui led Lin Xueyan to the back room and shouted, "Shanhai, your eldest sister is here."

With a bang, the door was violently pushed open. Lin Shanhai rushed out and stood blankly at the door. He looked at the woman in front of him and shivered, "You are the eldest sister, you are my eldest sister Lin Xueyan, wuwu..., you made me look so hard, wuwu..."

The elders cried so heartbrokenly. When Lin Xueyan saw her brother whom she hadn't seen for many years, her eyes turned red and she cried too, "San'er, have you been doing well these years?"

Lin Shanhai didn't say a word, just sobbed, and Lin Xuan and Lin Qing started crying too. Wang Xiuzhi's eyes were also red.

After a while, Lin Shanhai's crying gradually subsided, and Wang Xiuzhi stepped forward and said, "Shanhai, isn't elder sister here? It's a happy occasion, why are you crying? Let's let elder sister come in and talk first."

Lin Shanhai held onto Lin Xueyan's hand tightly and said, "Yes, yes, let's go inside and talk."

When Lin Yun came into the house and saw that Lin Xueyan looked unhealthy and thin, she knew that this aunt was not doing well, so she quickly said, "Mom and Dad, the aunt hasn't eaten yet. I'll go make her something to eat. You guys chat first."

Lin Xueyan waved her hand quickly and said, "No need to rush, I'm not hungry."

Just as she finished speaking, her stomach growled, causing Lin Xueyan's face to turn red with embarrassment.

Wang Xiuzhi also reacted and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Xuanxuan, go to your second brother's house to get some cooked food, and ask his family to come over and talk."

Lin Xuan nodded and trotted to the west wing to call for help.
