Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Chapter 289 Yu Haitang's Envy

After Sha Zhu and Yu Li sent Yu Linhai home, Yu Li ignored Sha Zhu for several days and even refused to let him get on the kang. This made Sha Zhu anxious, and he went after Yu Li every day to say nice things to her, and finally he got his wife's forgiveness.

The next day, Yu Linhai started bringing people to clean up the house where He Yushui lived.

It hasn't been long since this house was last cleaned, so there's no need to do much with the roof or anything like that. Just make the inside look prettier.

At the same time, Nan Yi brought Ma Hua's betrothal gift and gave it to He Daqing.

The current bride price in urban areas is generally around ten yuan, and five or six yuan in rural areas.

Ma Hua felt that he had taken advantage of his master, so he borrowed some money from someone and gathered together twenty yuan as a betrothal gift.

He Daqing took the money and handed it to Yu Linhai, asking him to find a craftsman to make new furniture.

This is not enough. He Daqing has to add some money from himself to create a complete set of furniture.

But for He Daqing, this money is just a drop in the bucket.

While He Daqing was busy cleaning up He Yushui's house, Yu Li took He Yushui to find Yu Haitang at her workplace.

After graduating from high school, Yu Haitang was assigned to work in a textile factory. Because she graduated from high school, was pretty and had a nice voice, she was assigned to be an announcer, which was a relatively respectable job compared to production workers.

Faced with the pressure from her family to get married in the past two years, Yu Haitang did not dare to go home to listen to her parents' nagging, and usually lived in the factory dormitory.

In fact, she also wanted to find a good partner, but most of the workers in the textile factory were female. Even if there were a few men, they were either ugly or had been taken away by others early, and their children were already old enough to help with cooking.

So over the years, Yu Haitang has never found the right one.

When Yu Li and He Yushui came here, Yu Haitang was particularly happy to see them.

She hasn't seen her best friend He Yushui for a long time, and she hasn't seen her sister Yu Li for a while either.

"Sister, Yu Shui, why are you here? Long time no see, I missed you so much!"

Yu Li said unhappily, "Come on, if I hadn't come to see you, would you still remember me as your sister? I'm afraid you would have forgotten me completely!"

He Yushui smiled and said, "Haitang, we haven't seen each other for several years, and you didn't even mention coming to visit me. This time I came here specifically to see you."

Yu Haitang smiled and said, "Sister, look at what you said, how could I forget you? Aren't I busy these days? I will definitely come to see you when I have time. And Yu Shui too, I've been thinking about you."

Yu Li glared at her sister and said, "Let's go. Tomorrow is the weekend and you don't have to work. Come to my place and spend two days. I came here specially to pick you up this time."

Yu Haitang thought about it, then went to the dormitory to pack her things, planning to go over there to play with her sister.

Anywhere is fine as long as she doesn't have to go home and listen to her parents' nagging.

On the way, Yu Li rode a bike with Yu Haitang, and He Yushui followed behind on his own bike, chatting with Yu Haitang from time to time.

Looking at He Yushui riding that beautiful ladies' bicycle, Yu Haitang was very envious.

At the beginning, when the two were in elementary school, He Yushui was always like an ugly duckling. No one paid any attention to her. In addition, she had no parents and her brother was not very good either. Even if she was bullied at school, He Yushui could only endure it.

At that time, Yu Haitang was loved by her family and was more beautiful than He Yushui, so she was very proud of He Yushui.

But since He Yushui's father He Daqing came back, she has completely changed, and the gears of fate have begun to change.

He Yushui became more cheerful and lively than before, became more and more beautiful, and made great progress in her studies. She was admitted to a technical secondary school directly after graduation.

After Yu Haitang graduated, he still had to go to the street office and run around to get connections before he was assigned to work in this small factory.

After He Yushui graduated, his father got him a job directly in a large factory like a steel rolling mill, where he worked in an office position in the accounting department. Yu Haitang was particularly envious when she heard about this.

Now, seeing He Yushui riding a bicycle, she was even more envious. She had long wanted to own a bicycle of her own, but she had no money or ticket to buy one.

The three of them were talking, and soon they arrived at the courtyard.

When they returned home, Sha Zhu and Nan Yi had already prepared dinner and the whole family was waiting for them.

As soon as Yu Haitang entered the door, she saw her father Yu Linhai sitting at the dinner table. She was stunned.

Yu Li pushed her from behind and said, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and sit down to eat. Why do you need someone to invite you to sit down if you haven't been here for a few days?"

Yu Haitang finally reacted, and she stepped forward and called out, "Hello, Uncle He, Hello, Aunt Chen, Dad, why are you here too?"

Yu Linhai said angrily: "Why? You can come but I can't? How long have you not been home? Your mother misses you every day at home, and you didn't even say you came back to see her!"

Yu Haitang stuck out her tongue and said, "Dad, I'm busy. I'll definitely come home to see you when I'm done."

Chen Xueru smiled and said, "Haitang, don't stand, sit down and talk. Knowing that you are coming, your brother-in-law specially prepared a few dishes you like, so eat more."

He Yushui also came over at this time, and she pulled Yu Haitang to sit down together.

Seeing that everyone was present, He Daqing said, "Let's eat, or the food will get cold soon. Yushui, take good care of Haitang and let her eat more. I've noticed that Haitang seems to have lost weight after not seeing her for so long. Is the food in the factory not good?"

While adding more food to Yu Haitang, He Yushui said, "Haitang, come to my house if you want to eat anything in the future and let my brother cook it for you."

Sha Zhu curled his lips after hearing this and asked, "Why should you ask me to do the work just because you have received a favor from me?"

But he could only keep this in his heart and dared not say it out loud. You know, he has no status in this family at all. Every time there is one more person in the family, his position will move back one place. He always stays at the last place all year round, which is very stable and has never changed.

Yu Haitang looked at the table full of delicious food, including her favorite sweet and sour pork, and felt especially grateful to He Daqing and his family.

Thinking that He Yushui could eat so well at home every day, she felt a little envious.

He Daqing watched everyone eating, so he and Yu Linhai slowly started drinking.

Sha Zhu watched from the side and really wanted to join in, but facing Li's vicious look, he finally resisted the urge to continue drinking with his father-in-law.

It has only been a few days since we learned the lesson from the previous incident. We cannot continue to make mistakes now.

Yu Haitang ate for a while before continuing to ask, "Dad, you haven't told me why you came here? You didn't come here to catch me, did you?"

Yu Linhai snorted coldly and said, "I don't have the time to care about your business. Yu Shui is getting married, and I'm here to clean up the house for her."

"What? Yu Shui is getting married? To whom?"
