Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

He Daqing's words also made Yu Linhai a little at a loss.

If this matter really gets reported to the street office, his family's reputation will be completely ruined.

So he quickly said, "Master He, it's not that bad, it's not that bad."

He Daqing said calmly: "Old Yan, you are still a teacher. Can you teach students?"

"What era is it now? The top leader is advocating equality between men and women and freedom of marriage. You are still thinking about arranged marriages. Aren't you taking history backwards?"

"If the neighborhood office knew about your thoughts, they would immediately take you to a rehabilitation center. Even if your school knew about it, expelling you would be the lightest punishment."

"Think about it carefully. If you continue to pester me here today, I will let Zhuzi report you to the street office. Then I will go to your school to expose you tomorrow. I want to see how stubborn you are!"

He Daqing was indeed a vicious person. These few words frightened Yan Bugui so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

He just said a few words casually, but was caught by the old fox He Daqing.

After thinking about it, he decided that his life was more important. He could find another daughter-in-law, but if he was finished, then their family would be finished completely.

So Yan Bugui quickly put on a smile and said to He Daqing: "Daqing, you see, we are old neighbors. We often drink together. There is no need to make things so awkward over such a small matter."

"We misunderstood what happened today. I apologize to you! My family was wrong in this matter, and today's matter will be over. Do you think this is okay?"

Yan Jiecheng, who was kicked and didn't even dare to fight back, listened to his father's words and said anxiously: "Dad, how could you do this? We agreed that I want to marry Yu Li!"

Yan Bugui glared at his son. He hated him so much! He was really incapable of achieving anything but always causing trouble!

In this situation, how could he dare to talk about proposing marriage? He was lucky to be able to save his life.

"Get out of here! Is there any place for you to talk here?"

After saying that, Yan Bugui pushed Yan Jiecheng out of Yu Li's house.

Yu Linhai also echoed, "Yes, Master He. Teacher Yan just made a slip of the tongue. Let's forget about it."

Yan Bugui also looked at He Daqing with expectant eyes.

He Daqing was silent for a moment and then said, "Okay, today is supposed to be a happy occasion. I won't care about it so much."

"But Old Yan, remember, if I ever hear anyone say bad things about my family because of this incident, you'll have to wait for reform!"

After hearing this, Yan Bugui nodded immediately and said, "Don't worry, Daqing, this is just a misunderstanding between us. No one said anything bad about your family."

"Well, we won't send you off, Old Yan. Next, our two families need to discuss business. It's not convenient for you to stay here."

What He Daqing said was really like shrimp and pork heart.

Yan Bugui was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

However, he didn't dare to show his anger in front of He Daqing. He could only say hello to Yu Linhai and left in shame with Yan Jiecheng.

Yu Li watched He Daqing solve the problem very quickly and efficiently, and she admired him from the bottom of her heart.

She felt that she should learn well from He Daqing.

Chen Xueru, Sha Zhu, and Yu Shui also looked at He Daqing with admiration. This man is really domineering!

Yu Linhai gave He Daqing a thumbs up and said, "Master He, you are really awesome. You scared off Teacher Yan with just a few words. Otherwise, this incident today would have been really bad."

He Daqing said with a smile: "It's okay, today is a good day for our two families, I won't let these people disturb us."

Then He Daqing asked Sha Zhu to bring up all the things he had brought.

When Yu Li's family saw so many gifts, they were so scared that they didn't dare to accept them.

"Master He, this is too expensive. How can I accept it?"

He Daqing waved his hand and said, "Old Yu, my Zhuzi really likes your daughter. It's not easy for you to raise your daughter to this age. Especially, you educated her to be so sensible. So I can't let your family suffer any loss."

"I originally wanted to follow the old rules of our city, but as you know, there are many things that cannot be bought with money, so I took these things."

"I'm here to discuss this with you today. This is Matchmaker Wang, she's been doing this for many years. Let her pick a good day for us."

"As for the betrothal money, let's follow the rules. You can tell me how much it should be. I, He Daqing, will definitely try my best to meet your requirements."

Yu Linhai was also very pleased with what He Daqing said.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, since you said so, I will accept it shamelessly."

Yu Li and Yu Haitang, whose faces were red as blood, were sent to take the things into the kitchen.

Everybody sat in the living room.

Matchmaker Wang asked for Yu Li and Sha Zhu's birth dates, counting on her fingers and flipping through the old almanac she brought with her. She looked very professional.

Finally, they decided to get married on January 8th of the Gregorian calendar.

It's already mid-December, and there are only more than 20 days left until the wedding.

But He Daqing's house had just been renovated, so there was no need to clean up. At most, he would just need to add a few pieces of furniture. There was still enough time.

As for the betrothal gift, Yu Linhai said, "My dear relatives, since both children are willing, forget about the betrothal gift. As long as they live a good life in the future, that's all."

He Daqing couldn't agree to this, after all, it was a matter of face. Besides, Yu Li's family situation was not very good. Yu Li's mother was still sick and lying in the bedroom.

"Old Yu, don't say you don't want a gift. Let's just follow the rules."

"Nowadays, most families give 10 to 20 yuan, but my whole family likes your daughter Yu Li, so I won't give more. Let's say the betrothal gift is 30 yuan."

After saying that, he took out thirty yuan and put it on the table.

Yu Linhai quickly declined, "I really don't need this. My dear, why are you giving me so much all at once?"

He Daqing pushed the money to Yu Linhai and said, "Old Yu, just take it. When Yu Li comes to our house in the future, I will never let her suffer any grievances."

Yu Linhai refused for a long time, but had no choice but to accept the thirty yuan.

Now that all the serious business had been discussed, everyone was happily drinking tea and chatting.

Yu Li also helped her mother out. Because she was often bedridden, Yu's mother looked pale and very weak.

Seeing her son-in-law Sha Zhu, Yu's mother was so happy that she kept praising Sha Zhu.

Seeing Shazhu being shy and timid, He Daqing really wanted to slap him. You are a grown man, and you don’t even know why you are shy?

"Zhu Zi, why are you still standing here? Go to the kitchen and help Yu Li cook!"

Out of sight out of mind.

It’s better not to let him embarrass himself in front of me.

After hearing what his father said, Sha Zhu quickly ran into the kitchen.

Finally free. Yu Li's parents praised her so much that she felt embarrassed!

When Sha Zhu arrived in the kitchen, he saw Yu Li preparing to cook. He hurried over and said, "Yu Li, just watch from the side, I'll cook."

Yu Li didn't refute what he said, she just gave up her seat and let Sha Zhu cook. She just washed the vegetables and helped out.

While cooking, Sha Zhu secretly glanced at his future wife. He was so happy. He was finally getting married.

Seeing Sha Zhu's expression, Yu Li said openly, "Brother Zhu, if you want to watch, just watch. Why are you being so secretive? We are engaged now, and we will see each other every day. What are you afraid of?"

Yu Li's harsh words made Sha Zhu even more embarrassed.

He stammered, "I...I wasn't sneaking around. I just think you're pretty and I can't get enough of you."

Yu Li never thought that this silly man could say such disgusting words.

She also blushed and said, "Hurry up and cook first. There will be plenty of time to watch it later."

After hearing this, Sha Zhu quickly lowered his head and started cooking.

The two of them cooked together while whispering.

After a while, a sumptuous meal was ready.

There are chicken, fish, rabbit and wild boar.

Seeing such a sumptuous meal, Yu Haitang and Yu Xiaohu kept swallowing their saliva.

They couldn't remember how long it had been since they had such delicious food at home.

Yu Linhai also saw the look on his child's face, so he poured a glass of wine and said, "Come on, in-laws. Welcome to your presence today. We will be a family from now on."

"From now on, when my daughter Yu Li goes to your house, you will have to take care of her. She has a bad temper, so if she does something wrong, you should be more tolerant."

After saying that, Yu Linhai finished the glass of wine.

He Daqing also said: "Old Yu, don't worry, if my Zhuzi dares to bully Yu Li in the future, I will definitely break his legs. Yu Li was my own daughter in the past."

After listening to his father's words, Shazhu felt his legs getting cold for some reason.

After finishing the business, everyone started to eat.

Matchmaker Wang sighed in her heart, it was better to follow Master He. She could eat delicious food and get paid. Moreover, the job was very simple, she was just here to go through the motions.

It seems that she will have to pay more attention to Master He's affairs in the future.

He glanced secretly at He Yushui and thought about this girl now. He could introduce her to her directly when she grows up.

He Yushui, who was having a happy meal with Yu Haitang, had no idea that she had been targeted by matchmaker Wang.

Everyone finished the meal happily.

He Daqing asked Sha Zhu to take Yu Li shopping, and bought him his bicycle and radio, and also bought some clothes for Yu Li.

He Yushui wanted to play with Yu Haitang, so she didn't go back. She waited for Sha Zhu to come back and went back with him.

Finally, He Daqing and Chen Xueru left with Matchmaker Wang, to the farewell of Yu Linhai's family.

Overall, today's events went very smoothly.

Except for the little episode caused by Yan Bugui and the others.

He Daqing didn't take it to heart. He knew that Yan Bugui, a shrewd old man, knew the importance of things and would not do anything wrong.

But he didn't know that there is a saying that a weak donkey can kick someone to death!

Later, Yan Jiecheng also caused a lot of trouble to his family.
