Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Father-in-law, no way, why don't I believe it? From my childhood, my father has always been kind and easy to talk to. On the contrary, it is my mother who beats people. We are afraid of her and tell her everything to her."

"Yes, Dad, I remember Uncle Zhao was also very nice. Every time he saw me, he would praise me and give me food."

"An Huan, He Dong, what Zhuzi said is true. It has been more than ten years. It was all many years ago. Back then, Lao Liu, Zhuzi, He Dong's grandfather, and An Huan, your aunt's family were all dealt with by Shanhe."

"Grandpa Yi, can you tell us about it? Grandpa Yi, the deceased Grandpa Liu, Grandpa He, and my aunt's family. Wasn't the whole courtyard wiped out by my father? Why?"

Sha Zhu said, "Come on, let's drink. It's all in the past. Why are you talking about that? Aren't Shanhe and I relatives now?"

"Dad, just tell Grandpa Yi about it to me. It's just a drink and chat, and it's a thing of the past." He Dong obviously wanted to watch the show.

Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai were too embarrassed to speak, so He Dong asked Ma Dongmei, "Mom, do you know what happened?"

Ma Dongmei smiled and said, "I know something about your father. I'm sure your father feels ashamed and is too embarrassed to talk about it. So let me tell you about it."

"I remember your aunt said that the earliest conflict was because Zhuzi invited Shanhe to dinner. At that time, Shanhe had just started working and had not yet married. The two of them had a good relationship because of Yu Shui."

"Zhuzi invited Shanhe to dinner, and Shanhe came with wine. But after Zhuzi prepared the meal, Shanhe and your Aunt Yushui hadn't even started eating yet, and Qin Huairu took the meal away with the basin. In the end, even Yushui had to go to Shanhe's house to eat."

Sha Zhu said, "Is that true? Why don't I remember it?"

"I don't know if what Yu Shui told me at that time was true or not,"

"The second time was when Qin Huairu's family, Yi Ye and Zhu Zi wanted to help the Jia family seize the Shanhe family's house. Yi Ye was involved in this incident, and Zhu Zi was beaten up by Xu Damao of Shanhe Shanhu. Yu Shui also told me this, but I don't know if it's true."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "It's true. At that time, I was still the eldest uncle in the courtyard because Jia Dongxu was my apprentice. Although Dongxu was gone, I still favored the Jia family. At that time, the Jia family was short of houses, and Shanhe happened to divide the houses, so the Jia family found me, and I found Lao Liu and Lao Yan."

"In the end, not only did he save Shanhe's house, but my uncle was dismissed, and Zhuzi was beaten up for helping Qin Huairu."

"This is not the end. Shanhe took note of it and took revenge on me. He increased the workload for me, Lao Liu and Qin Huairu in the factory and had people watching us every day.

"After a while, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I sent Shanhe a few bottles of good wine overnight, and only then did Shanhe let me go."

He Dong asked, "Where is my father? Is my father also because of this incident?"

Ma Dongmei said, "That's not the case, because I was already married to your father at that time, and I immediately forced your father to sever ties with your grandfather Yi and the Jia family."

"Your father's incident was because of your grandfather. Your grandfather came back at that time, and after a period of peace, he set his sights on Grandma An Huan. He wanted to take advantage of Aunt Chen while Shanhe and the others were away. Now Shanhe completely exploded."

"First, someone made your grandfather lose his job. Then, no one in the whole city dared to hire him. Your grandfather had no choice but to become a waiter. Then, because your father had dirty hands, he was also arrested by the security department."

"No way, Grandpa also had his eyes on Grandma Chen. I remember that Grandma Chen was only two years older than my dad."

"So Shanhe got angry. He didn't want to have another father. Later, your grandfather and your father went to apologize to Shanhe, and Shanhe let them go. You don't know how difficult it was at that time. Your grandfather lost his job and your father had his salary reduced."

"I didn't expect my dad to be so scary when he gets angry. I always thought he was kind and amiable. No wonder my mom doesn't like my aunt's family. It turns out there are these reasons."

"In fact, many things were caused by the Jia family. Your father almost married Qin Huairu, and he couldn't forget her even later."

"What nonsense are you talking about in front of the child? I still miss Qin Huairu."

"Actually, most of the things about the Siheyuan were related to me. It was me who asked Zhuzi to help the Jia family. I was sorry for Yu Shui. Later, I found out that everything I did was wrong." Yi Zhonghai said painfully.

"Master, everything is in the past, don't mention it. Come and have a drink. Now that I think about it, it's really ridiculous that I actually wanted to raise a child for the Jia family. It was Xu Damao who was smart and followed Shanhe from the beginning."

"Dad, after hearing what you said, I think it's okay for Uncle Zhao to punish you, for robbing the house and doing that."

"You bastard, whose son are you? How can you say that about your father and that old bastard?"

"Dad, I'm just speaking the truth. Besides, grandpa is an old bastard, so who are you? Who am I?"

"By the way, Zhuzi, are you really not going to care about Lao He anymore?"

"I don't care. He said he treated him as dead, so I treated him as dead. The first time he abandoned us and ran away, Yu Shui and I forgave him. Now he ran away again. Should I not care about him? He didn't want to do it himself, so why should I care about him?"

"Let's not talk about him anymore. Let's have a drink. There are so many happy events today. Why bring up these sad things?"

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Sha Zhu kept drinking, which showed that he was not as relaxed as he said. Yi Zhonghai recalled the past today and drank a lot.

After Ma Dongmei finished washing the dishes, An Huan and He Hua supported Yi Zhonghai, while Ma Dongmei and He Dong supported Sha Zhu, and they walked to another building.

"An Huan, you've been drinking. Don't go back tonight. You and He Hua have already obtained your marriage certificate, so just sleep in the same room as He Hua."

"Mom, I'll sleep on the sofa. I won't sleep with him. He stinks after drinking. Besides, a couple can't sleep together when they go back to their parents' home, right?" He Hua said

"When did you become so particular? Just go to sleep when I tell you to. An Huan has drunk some wine, so take care of him."

An Huan kept grinning foolishly, thinking that maybe his dream would come true tonight.

After He Hua helped An Huan to the room, she said, "It's okay to sleep with you, but you are not allowed to bully me."

"Okay, I won't bully you." An Huan's face was full of smirk.

"Why should I be so unconvinced? But go take a shower first. You stink of alcohol after drinking."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Five minutes later, An Huan came back and asked, "Are you done washing now?"

"Yeah, I take a shower often and it doesn't get dirty. Besides, boys take showers faster."

"Okay, then you go to bed first, and I'll go take a shower."

An Huan lay on the bed thinking happily, ten minutes passed, then twenty minutes passed.

After taking a shower, He Hua sat on the sofa, struggling for a long time, and finally decided to give it to him.
