Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

When Liu Guangqi returned home, his new wife was sitting on the bed in a daze.

He went over and sat next to his wife, and whispered: "Yuanyuan, what's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Liu Guangqi's wife turned around, looked at him, and said angrily: "Guangqi, how can you live in this house? Your two younger brothers are next door, and there is only a wooden board between them. Any slight movement can be heard clearly over there."

"Besides, this house is so small that it's hard for two people to even turn around after entering. I don't want to live in such a small, shabby house."

After saying that, she turned around angrily and ignored Liu Guangqi.

Liu Guangqi leaned towards his wife and said, "Yuanyuan, don't be angry. Aren't conditions limited now? When we start working, we can apply for housing, and then we can be allocated a big house."

"You sound nice, but even if we start working, we are just interns. How can we get a good house?"

After saying that, Liu Guangqi's wife turned around, took his hand and continued, "Guangqi, didn't my father tell you a long time ago? As long as you go with him, he will immediately let you start from the deputy section level."

"Then we'll be able to get a big house, and we'll be able to accommodate our children even if we have them. What do you think?"

Liu Guangqi, who was still hesitant, finally made up his mind after today's incident and the persuasion of his father-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Okay, then I'll talk to my dad and the others tomorrow, and we'll go there with your dad to develop."

When his wife heard this, she immediately said, "Guangqi, I don't think Dad will agree if you tell him about this. I think he drank a lot today, and Mom drank a little too."

"They both went to bed early. Why don't we leave here tonight and leave them a letter explaining the situation. We'll come back to see them after we've settled down."

Liu Guangqi said with some embarrassment: "This is not good. My dad will be angry if he finds out."

However, under his wife's constant persuasion, Liu Guangqi still listened to her advice, and the two immediately packed up and prepared to leave at night.

Today is the happiest day for Liu Hai. His son graduated from a technical secondary school and married the daughter of a leader, who also graduated from a technical secondary school.

After a while, his family will have two college graduates as leading cadres. If I become a leader, then there will be three leaders in their family. Who in the courtyard will dare not listen to me in the future?

Because I was happy, I drank a few more glasses today, and in the end I was carried home by several people.

Second Aunt also drank a few glasses under everyone's compliments.

This resulted in everyone in the house going to bed early at night except Liu Guangqi and his wife.

As for the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, their father had finally spared them a punishment today, so they had a delicious meal at the banquet and fell asleep in bed due to their fullness.

By midnight, Liu Guangtian planned to leave with his things.

His wife pulled him aside and said, "Guangqi, I see that we have received a lot of gifts today. We just got there, so we can't rely on my dad for everything, right? Let's bring more money. We will definitely need a lot of things when we get there, and all of these cost money."

Liu Guangqi thought about it and felt that what his wife said made sense.

So he put the written letter on the table in the living room, then sneaked into their room, lifted the bricks under the bed, and took out a tin box inside.

This is all the Liu family’s assets, and it is also the savings that Liu Haizhong has accumulated through hard work over the years.

As the most favored son of the Liu family, Liu Guangqi was never hidden from the old couple, so he knew everything about the family.

Liu Guangqi took out the box and the couple opened it in the house. There were more than 500 yuan in it.

Seeing so much money, Liu Guangqi and his wife's eyes lit up.

According to Liu Guangqi's idea, they took half and left half for their family.

But his wife put all the money into her pocket and said, "Guangqi, your father will get his salary soon, and they don't have any other expenses. But we don't know what the situation will be like over there when we get there. As the saying goes, a poor family makes a rich journey. It's always a good idea to bring some extra money."

After hearing what his wife said, Liu Guangqi did not insist. The two put the empty box back to its original place, and quietly went out with the packed clothes and bedding.

Pushing the new bicycle that came as a dowry at the door, the couple walked out of the courtyard gate and disappeared into the dark night.

He Daqing was probably the only person in the entire courtyard who knew all of this clearly.

He Daqing knew that Liu Guangqi might run away tonight, so although he seemed to be asleep, he was actually using his spiritual sense to observe the situation of the Liu family.

Seeing them taking away all the money in the house, He Daqing felt really sad for Liu Haizhong.

The son whom he loved the most stabbed him in the back. I wonder how Liu Haizhong will react when he finds out tomorrow?

He Daqing could sleep peacefully only after Liu Guangqi and his wife left.

The next morning, the second aunt instinctively woke up early and planned to get up to prepare breakfast for the old and young in the family.

But suddenly it occurred to him that today was the first day of the new daughter-in-law's wedding. Logically, the daughter-in-law should have gotten up, prepared breakfast, and then invited the two of them to dinner and tea.

Thinking of this, the second aunt closed her eyes again and continued to lie down, waiting for her daughter-in-law to call her for dinner.

Over there, the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu got up to prepare for breakfast as usual, but found that there was no one in the kitchen and no one was making breakfast.

So the two of them ran over and knocked on his parents' door, asking his second aunt to get up and cook.

Liu Haizhong was woken up at this time and was about to get up and curse. The second aunt beside him quickly said, "Don't worry about his father yet. Maybe the daughter-in-law has prepared breakfast and asked us to eat. She came to our house to cook the first day. Don't scare her."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he realized that there was a new member in his family, and that she was his beloved son's wife. His anger immediately subsided.

"Then hurry up and don't let Guangqi and the others wait too long. Our Guangqi will still have to rely on his father-in-law's support in the future, and we can't make things difficult for his daughter."

After saying that, Liu Haizhong urged his wife to get up and pack up to meet his daughter-in-law.

However, as soon as they opened the door, they saw Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu standing at the door, but did not see Liu Guangqi and his wife.

Liu Haizhong angrily scolded, "What are you two bastards doing knocking on the door so early in the morning? If you disturb your brother and sister-in-law, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

Liu Guangtian was so frightened that he quickly took a step back and said, "Dad, my brothers haven't gotten up yet. I came to ask my mom to make breakfast."

When the second aunt heard this, she immediately said, "Why haven't you gotten up yet? It's already this late. If you don't cook, you'll be late for work, Lao Liu."

After saying that, he went to knock on the door of Liu Guangqi and his wife.

After knocking for a long time, there was no movement inside. Auntie was a little worried. She pushed the door open. There was nothing inside.

The second aunt hurriedly called out, "Old Liu, come here quickly, Guangqi and the others are gone!"
