Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

The next morning, the people who woke up early in the courtyard found Xu Erni and Chen Er lying in front of Jia Dongxu's mourning hall. The two of them were leaning against each other, just like a couple. But the people in the courtyard were shocked. Qin Huairu was washing up at home, but her husband pulled her out to watch the fun.

The two people were sleeping soundly, and the people in the courtyard stood by and watched the excitement. Some people laughed like pigs, while others looked sarcastic. The aunts who had always been at odds with Jia Zhang were so happy that they wanted to wake Jia Zhang up and let this old woman see this scene.

Xu Damao suppressed his laughter and said to Yan Jiecheng beside him, "Damn it, these two dare to do this, aren't they afraid that Jia Dongxu in the underworld will be furious? This Chen Er, it's really like he has never seen a woman." Yan Jiecheng also smiled and nodded, but then looked at Xu Erni's appearance and said, "Oh, this Xu Erni is not bad looking, no wonder Jia Dongxu died directly on her belly."

Xu Damao pouted and took a look. He also admitted that Xu Erni was good-looking. But her appearance was just quite ordinary, and there was still a big difference between her and the really beautiful girls in the yard. Especially Qin Huairu in the yard, she was even more incomparable.

Chen Er smacked his lips and felt a little itchy on his face. He opened his eyes and saw that the neighbors in the yard were looking at him with a smile! Chen Er was shocked and jumped up immediately. Xu Erni was also woken up by Chen Er. She looked at the scene and her fair face turned red. She realized that something was wrong and pushed Chen Er away immediately.

Chen Er said in panic, "Gentlemen, it's not what you think." Xu Damao pretended to be an experienced person and said with a smile, "Oh, Lao Chen, don't worry, we all understand. We are all men, and everyone knows the little tricks between men."

Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiecheng next to him also said with a smile, "Oh, yes, yes, isn't there an old saying? It goes 'a graceful lady', how come the next sentence is this?" Yan Jiecheng said proudly, "It's only natural." This made the neighbors in the yard laugh. Chen Er and Xu Erni quickly stood up and ran back home.

When Xu Erni ran back home, Jia Zhang's deafening snoring continued. Xu Erni had a dark face and cursed in a low voice, "I really want to stab this old woman like this." "Mom, mom, I'm hungry, I'm hungry." Bang Geng'er also woke up slowly, and his stomach was very hungry. Seeing the old mother coming in, he cried to his mother.

Xu Erni still loves her son very much, or it can be said that there are very few mothers in this world who do not love their sons. Looking at her mother-in-law who was still snoring on the kang, she was extremely annoyed. She sighed helplessly and planned to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything good to prepare some breakfast for her son.

I thought of Chen Er again. As for Chen Er, I still looked down on him. But in the current situation of their family, they must find a man to rely on. It can be imagined that among the men in the whole courtyard, except for Chen Er, no man would voluntarily help their family. Maybe there is one, He Yuzhu, why not hook up with him? If he can help them, their family's living conditions will definitely get better.

Thinking of He Yuzhu, he couldn't help but think of Qin Huairu, and he was so angry. Qin Huairu was just a country girl from Qinjia Village. How could she be the director's wife and find a job in the steel mill? He was so resentful that he made up his mind to hook up with He Yuzhu. If he tried, he could escape his fate.

She cooked a few bowls of porridge in the kitchen and brought them to the living room. Jia Zhang woke up slowly when she smelled the food. She smacked her lips and took all the porridge except the one with the stick in front of her without any hesitation. Xu Erni's face was so dark. She pointed at herself and said, "Mother, I still have the blood of your Jia family in my belly. Is it appropriate for you to do this?"

The thick-skinned Jia Zhang naturally ignored Xu Erni's complaints. Instead, she snorted and said, "I am an old woman with one foot almost in the coffin. What's wrong with eating and drinking something good? You are really unfilial as a daughter-in-law. Hey, Old Jia, Dongxu, come up and take a look. I am being bullied."

Xu Erni was speechless for a while. At this time, Yi Zhonghai knocked on the door and walked in from outside. He said with a dark face, "Sister-in-law, what are you making a fuss about? What old Jia Dongxu? Aren't you afraid that the people in the courtyard will report you and say that you are promoting feudal superstition?"

"If anyone dares to gossip about me behind my back, I will go to their house and get free food and drinks. I say, Yi Zhonghai, there are only two widows, big and small, in our Jia family now. What do you want to do by coming to our house so early in the morning?" Jia Zhang looked at Yi Zhonghai viciously. She always felt that this old guy was a night owl who would come into the house for no reason.

Yi Zhonghai's face looked a little ugly. If he hadn't had something in mind, he wouldn't have cared about so many trivial matters! He snorted coldly and said, "Okay, do you think I'm willing to come? I'm here to discuss the issue of your work position this time." "Work position? What's wrong with the job position of our Jia family? Didn't Xu Erni take over Dongxu's position after she gave birth to the child?" Jia Zhang looked at Yi Zhonghai with some doubts, not understanding what the old man meant.

Then he said to Xu Erni as if to warn her, "I'm telling you, old lady, you will take over Dongxu's position from now on, and you must give me your monthly salary, otherwise you'll get out of here." Xu Erni was so angry. Did he really think that Xu Erni didn't have a temper?

With a gloomy face, she said, "My dear mother-in-law, are you sincere in what you said? I work hard every month to give you the salary I earn, so what do I eat and drink? Okay, now that Jia Dongxu is dead, I will take my son and unborn child back to Qinjia Village. Anyway, everyone in my first husband's family has died, and my first husband's property is also mine. I can be self-sufficient in Qinjia Village."

Compared to Qin Huairu in the original novel, Xu Erni can see some things very clearly. She is also unwilling to return to the countryside, but she also knows that if she is really caught by the old woman Jia Zhang, she will definitely use this excuse to threaten him for the rest of his life. She must be tougher, otherwise she will be bullied to death by him.
