Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Wife, I heard that Banggeng bought a house?" Shazhu said as soon as he came home in the evening.

"How do you know it?"

"How can I know? It was Uncle San who blocked me at the door. Uncle San has been here for many years and still can't change his habit of being a door god."

"I've heated up the water for you. Go wash your stinky feet first.

Also, Third Uncle is really calculating. He knows how much money our family has."

"This is not normal. Uncle San is so calculating that he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't settle his accounts.

I'm asking you a question. Did the Banggeng family really buy a house?"

"Didn't the Third Master tell you? They really bought it. The Jia family went out early in the morning and came back after lunch in the afternoon. Jia Zhang was showing off that she spent 30,000 yuan."

"I have watched Banggeng since he was young. He has been filial since he was young. Don't you know that he knows to share some food with his sister? Now he also knows to be filial to the elderly."

"It's filial piety, but the money used to buy the building is unclear. People in the hospital say all kinds of things, and some say that the money came from Qin Huairu's sales over the years."

"Impossible, Sister Qin is not that kind of person." Sha Zhu stood up from the basin excitedly.

"Okay, you, Silly Zhu, tell me what you and Qin Huairu are hiding from me. I even gave birth to your children and raised your son to be a college student."

"Since I married you, our family has stopped associating with the Jia family. I go to work every day, so what can I have to do with Qin Huairu?"

"Then why are you so excited? And you keep calling me Sister Qin."

"I've gotten used to it. Next time I'll be more careful. You know what happened between her and me. I gave a lot of money to her family after Jia Dongxu died. How is it possible that I didn't even touch her hand?"

"Just because you didn't succeed doesn't mean others didn't succeed. It just means you're stupid. I heard from those old ladies that Qin Huairu often sneaked into the woods and warehouses with others.

Besides, when Jia Dongxu died, Qin Huairu was only a young girl, at the age of a flower. She could endure loneliness, and she even didn't let someone like you go, which shows how lonely she was."

"Hey, hey, hey, stop making personal attacks. What kind of person am I? I, He Yuzhu, am also a good-looking person. Not bad, okay?"

"Not bad, when I saw you you were thirty years old but you looked fifty years old, I was the only one who didn't dislike you.

If I hadn't married you, you would have either been single for the rest of your life or died on Qin Huairu."

"That's enough. Stop talking so much. I'm like my father. I'm mature at a young age. Look at me now. Have I not changed at all? I tell you, I'll still be the same in ten years. You'll make a fortune."

"Marrying you is a big win. If you want to talk about making a lot of money, then Qin Jingru and her sisters-in-law are the ones who make a lot of money. The brothers of the Zhao family have everything they want, and they have money. What do you have?"

"Ma Dongmei, I'm giving you face, right? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up."

"Alright, you're still making a fuss. Have you forgotten my nickname? You still want to hit me? Come on, hit me.

But you are not bad either, and our life is one of the best. We have become rich these years, and our son has been admitted to university, so I am content."

"That's more like it, it's more like human language. Do you think we should buy a house? Do we have enough money?"

"It's enough, but our family is different from the Jia family. They have a large family and only one room, which is very crowded. Our family has not only the main room, but also the ear room and the old lady's room in the backyard.

When Master Yi is gone, the house will be ours. Why buy a building? My son is grown up, and we need to save money to marry him off."

"Dad is old, so let him move back to the building. He is a good and filial son. How can I, a fool, be outdone by a younger generation?"

Ma Dongmei knew that Sha Zhu was just trying to save face again. “This building is so expensive. Don’t you know that the Jia family spent nearly 30,000 yuan to buy an 80-square-meter house? It’s not as comfortable as ours.

Also, the Zhao family is so rich, but they haven’t bought a house yet.”

"There must be a reason why it's expensive. For example, if you look at our cooks, the salary of a good cook is much higher than that of someone who only drinks half a bottle of water.

Besides, why are you always comparing yourself with the Zhao family? How do you know they didn’t buy it? Even if they did buy it, would they tell you?”

"Zhu Zi, now that you mention it, I remember that they really did buy it. Aunt Chen said they bought a courtyard house and are currently renovating it. They will move in soon."

"I'll tell you, if they buy it, they can tell you, but why buy a courtyard house when you can just buy a building? I've lived in it for half my life and I still don't think I've had enough."

"I don't know about that. You said Zhao Shanhe is so smart, why didn't he buy a house but a courtyard house? Do you think this courtyard house will be very valuable in the future?"

"That's impossible. He can predict the future."

"Don't tell me I think he can really predict the future. During the years of the movement, he asked his father-in-law to train a chef in advance, as if he knew that the policy would change in the future.

As for the garment factories, you see they have prepared everything in advance.

His relatives have also been arranged in advance, and now that the time has come, they can all help. Do you think this courtyard house will be really valuable in the future?"

"When he was young, he was a leader. Every day he was either reading books or newspapers in the office. It's normal for him to understand the policies. If someone can predict the future, he must be a god or a monster.

Zhao Shanhe and Yu Shui grew up under my eyes, how could I not know this?"

"Okay, let's not talk about Zhao Shanhe for now, let's just talk about whether we should buy this building or not?"

"If I don't buy it, what's the point of living in a building? I'll save the money for my son to get married."

"Ma Dongmei, I earned this money, so I'm going to buy it. Besides, how much can I spend on my son's wife? My son is a college student, so he can pick any girl he wants."

"It's fine to buy it, but wait until Shanhe comes and ask him. If he thinks it's worth it, then we can buy it. You won't suffer any loss if you follow him. If it weren't for him, you would still be earning 37.5 in the factory."

“No, I want to buy it.”

"Then go ahead and buy it. I have the money. It depends on what you want to buy it with."

"Humph,"

"What are you doing? Aren't you going to sleep?"

"What can I do? I'll just go and get some water to wash my feet."

After Sha Zhu finished pouring the water and got on the bed, Ma Dongmei said earnestly, "Zhu Zi, I'm telling you, this person has no self-awareness. Neither you nor I have much brains. Don't be so anxious to deny it.

So, we should just follow the smart people. Look at those of you who follow the Zhao family, your life is no better than others.

Buying a house is not a trivial matter. We can’t just follow others and listen to their opinions before we make plans.”

"Then ask, what if Zhao Shanhe doesn't come back here one day and keeps dragging it on?"

"If he doesn't come, we can go visit him. You have to curry favor with him since he gives you a job."
