Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

Yu Li opened her mouth but ended up saying nothing.

Arriving at He Yushui's house in the middle courtyard, Yu Haitang asked, "Yushui, I saw that you looked good all the time, and I thought your courtyard had no shortage of food, but when I saw my sister, I realized that your courtyard was not having a good time either." After saying this, he sighed.

He Yushui laughed when she heard this and said, "Haitang, what year is it now? Everyone lives like this. It's good enough to be full. How can your complexion be good?"

After saying that, he looked at Yu Haitang, who had lost weight, and said in a daze, "Haitang, you came to our courtyard to borrow food from the Yan family, didn't you?"

Yu Haitang's face turned red when He Yushui revealed her purpose. "I won't hide it from you. My family can't even afford to eat. My mother had no choice but to borrow food. But I saw that you looked good, so I wondered if your courtyard was short of food, so I volunteered to come to your courtyard to borrow food."

He Yushui looked at Yu Haitang with a strange expression and said, "Haitang, you may have come here for nothing this time. Uncle San is known as Yan Laokou in our school. He is famous for his calculations. How could he lend food to your family at this time? Not to mention that we don't have it, we won't lend it to you even if we have it. Food is life now. Haven't you seen what has happened to our school?"

Yu Haitang couldn't believe what she said, "My sister is his daughter-in-law, can he really watch her die without helping her?"

He Yushui laughed when she heard this, "Don't even mention my daughter-in-law. Even if it's my son, what's the problem? If you don't believe me, go watch Uncle San's family eat at night. Everyone has a small pot and eats their own quota. No one can eat more than they want. After they finish their quota, they'll be hungry."

Yu Haitang was stunned when she heard this, and after a while she said, "What kind of tiger's den did my sister marry into?"

As time passed, everyone in the courtyard went off work.

When Sha Zhu returned to the middle courtyard, he saw a pretty little girl standing at the door of his sister's house. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Yu Shui, who is this?"

He Yushui smiled and said, "Silly brother, this is my classmate Yu Haitang, the younger sister of the third uncle's daughter-in-law Yu Li."

Sha Zhu nodded and smiled at Yu Haitang. Although Yu Haitang was prettier, she was still young after all. Sha Zhu was not that kind of animal yet, so he smiled and said, "Let's eat at home later."

Yu Haitang was really hungry, but how could she have the nerve to eat at a classmate's house these days? She quickly waved her hand and said, "No, I'll go find my sister in a while."

Sha Zhu didn't care and looked at He Yushui and asked, "Are you eating at home today?"

He Yushui shook his head and said, "Since Haitang is not eating at home, I will go to Brother Pingzi's place for a free meal."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu shook his head and laughed, "You have become picky because of Pingzi. I can't afford to support you. You can eat wherever you want." After saying that, he turned and went into the house.

Qin Huairu, who was standing by, saw Sha Zhu and Yu Haitang talking, and she felt relieved after just one glance at Yu Haitang. After all, Yu Haitang was still a little girl and Sha Zhu would not have any thoughts about her.

Jia Zhang, who had been leaning against the window, saw Qin Huairu's eyes drifting towards Sha Zhu, and her face turned ugly. Although she knew that Qin Huairu wanted to tie Sha Zhu up to her family, she didn't know why she felt unhappy, so she said with a sullen face: "Qin Huairu, what are you doing outside? Why don't you come in and cook? Do you want to starve my eldest grandson to death?"

Qin Huairu quickly responded and turned to go into the house.

"Sister Rainwater!"

Lin Xuan, Lin Qing, Li Na, and Hu Tou ran over from the back room.

Yu Haitang's eyes lit up when she saw the four children. Not only were their clothes clean without any patches, but their complexions were also very healthy, with rosy complexions that were very cute.

Lin Xuan didn't know Yu Haitang, so she couldn't help but look at He Yushui.

He Yushui introduced: "Xuanxuan, this is my sister's classmate Yu Haitang, you can just call her Sister Haitang."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan called out obediently, "Hello, Sister Haitang."

Yu Haitang also responded with a smile: "Hello to you too, little sister."

He Yushui looked at Lin Xuan and smiled, "Xuanxuan, you guys came to play with me?"

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Sister Yushui, I heard that you were back so I came to ask you to have dinner with me. Today my brother brought back some spare ribs and my mom stewed some delicious potatoes."

Yu Haitang couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she heard this. She hadn't eaten meat for a while.

He Yushui swallowed her saliva when she heard this and said, "Auntie Wang is stewing pork ribs, so I must go to satisfy my craving."

Yu Haitang said tactfully: "Yushui, I'll go back to the front yard to find my sister first. See you at school tomorrow." After that, he waved his hand and ran to the front yard without waiting for He Yushui to speak.

He Yushui also understood that Yu Haitang was trying to avoid suspicion, so she took Lin Xuan's hand and said, "Let's go eat ribs."

Lin Xuan shook her head and said, "Sister Yushui, let's go get the apples from my brother first and eat them after dinner."

Lin Xuan's words were not meant to be evasive. When Bang Geng heard about eating ribs, he immediately said to Qin Huairu, "Mom, I want to eat ribs too."

Qin Huairu sighed in her heart when she heard this. She thought it was good enough to be full now, so she advised: "Bang Geng, let's not eat ribs. Mom will stew meat for you when the salary is paid next month."

Banggeng refused to obey and started to throw a tantrum on the ground. Jia Zhang looked at Lin Xuan and the others with hatred, thinking to herself, why should these money-losing people eat so well? It would be better for her eldest grandson to eat. So she said to Qin Huairu, "Go get Banggeng a bowl of meat."

Qin Huairu almost laughed out of anger: "Mom, don't you know what our relationship with the Lin family is? Anyway, I won't go, you go if you want to go."

How could Jia Zhang possibly go? She knew that the Lin family would not give her anything even if it was to feed the dog, so she pulled Banggeng up with a gloomy face and said, "Banggeng, don't cry. The ribs are all bones. They are for dogs. We won't eat them. Grandma will stew them for you when she comes back."

Without mentioning the farce of the Jia family, Yu Haitang came to the front yard and didn't see Yu Li, so she ran out of the yard directly. In the corner, she saw her sister Yu Li wiping tears, so she ran over and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

What else could Yu Li do? Of course she was angry that Yan Fugui refused to lend her grain. She knew how much grain the Yan family had. Considering how much food and drink the Yan family had, they could still save a few pounds of corn flour. But Yan Fugui refused to lend her a single grain of rice, which made Yu Li feel like an outsider.

Originally she was hoping that Yan Jiecheng would help her parents out by saying a few good words and lending them some food to help them through the difficult times, but Yan Jiecheng just kept his head down and said nothing. Yu Li felt that her life was bleak. Why did she marry such a loser?

At this time, looking at her younger sister Yu Haitang, she wiped her tears and said, "Haitang, I'm fine, but I can't help the family. When you go back, tell mom that I'm incapable of helping the family."

Yu Haitang was furious when she heard this and wanted to go in to argue, but Yu Li held her tightly and said, "Haitang, don't go. It's normal for people not to lend their money these days. There's no reason for us to make a fuss."

Yu Haitang said angrily: "Sister, don't live with him anymore, divorce him, what's the point of keeping a man like him."

Yu Li's heart was moved when she heard this, and then she thought of the current situation at home. If she had one more mouth to feed, she would really not be able to survive, so she shook her head and said, "Haitang, if I really get divorced, won't my family be in even more trouble?"

Although Yu Li said this, the seeds of divorce have been quietly planted, waiting for the opportunity to take root and sprout.

Yu Haitang was silent for a while after hearing her sister's words. After a while, she said with red eyes: "Sister, please bear with it for now. When I go to work, you can divorce him!"

Yu Li wiped her tears and smiled bitterly, "We'll talk about the future later. Let's solve our family's problems first."

Yu Haitang smiled bitterly and said, "Sister, if the Yan family won't lend us any money, where can we get food?"

Yu Li gritted her teeth and said, "The Lin family in our courtyard has the best life. I'll go to his house and try."

After saying that, Yu Li entered the yard again, and Yu Haitang followed closely behind her.

Auntie San saw Yu Li coming in and went straight to the middle courtyard and asked, "Li Li, what are you doing in the middle courtyard?"

Yu Li said calmly: "I will go to the Lin family to borrow food. I can't let me watch my parents starve to death."

Third Aunt opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. She sighed and went into the house. Yu Li's voice was also heard by the Yan family members in the room.

As soon as Auntie San entered the room, she sighed, "Lily must have separated from us."

Yan Jiecheng was anxious when he heard this and said, "How can that be? I just asked to borrow five pounds of corn flour, but you refused to lend it to me. If I get divorced, I'll see how you can find me a wife."

Yan Fugui said calmly, "Why are you in such a hurry? She is already your wife. Do you really think she dares to divorce you? If she really divorces you, it will be difficult for her to find another wife. Don't worry, she can't divorce you."

Yan Jiedi stammered, "But my sister-in-law is too pitiful."

Upon hearing this, Yan Fugui glared and said, "Isn't our family pitiful? How many times have you had a full meal? Don't you know that food is life now?"

Yan Jiedi shrank her neck in fear and hid behind Yan Fugui. Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang also said, "That's right, our father is right. If you pity your sister-in-law, you can skip meals and lend her your ration."

Yan Jiedi was already hungry, and now she was so frightened that her face turned pale. She said aggrievedly, "Then I will die."

Auntie San quickly hugged Yan Jie Di in her arms, looked at Yan Jiefang and Yan Jie Kuang and scolded, "Enough, why are you scaring your sister?"

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang also became obedient after being yelled at by Auntie San.

Then Yu Li and Yu Haitang came to the middle courtyard and happened to see Lin Xuan, He Yushui and others, each holding an apple, coming out of the west wing.

He Yushui looked at the Yu sisters and understood that the Yan family was unwilling to lend them food, so the sisters had no choice but to come to Brother Pingzi to borrow food. So he shouted to the courtyard: "Brother Pingzi, Sister-in-law Yu Li is looking for you."

Then he waved to Yu Haitang and ran to the back room with Lin Xuan and others.

Lin Ping heard the noise and came out to see that it was Yu Li. He asked, "Yu Li, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Yu Li knew that she and Lin Ping had no connection, so it was a bit inappropriate for her to suddenly come to borrow food. However, she was also desperate, and she stammered to Lin Ping: "Ping...Brother Pingzi, I...I want to borrow some food from you. My family is really struggling."

Lin Ping looked at the little girl behind Yu Li and knew that this girl was Yu Haitang, the future beauty of the steel rolling mill, but her life was not very good and she was also a bit powerful.

Seeing that Lin Ping was silent, Yu Li thought that Lin Ping was unwilling to lend the grain, and her expression darkened and she said, "I'm sorry, Brother Pingzi, I shouldn't have come."

Lin Ping came back to his senses after hearing this and said with a smile: "Yu Li, you want to borrow some food, right? But my family is not rich, so I can't lend you more. How much do you want to borrow?"

Yu Li was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Are you really going to lend it to me?"

Lin Ping smiled and said, "How can this be false? We are in trouble now, so I will help you if I can. How much food do you want to borrow?"
