Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

"Have you heard about the Jia family?"

"I saw him at the entrance of the alley! What's going on?"

"Really? Come over here and tell me."

He Yuzhu rode his bike into the alley and was immediately curious when he heard the word Jia family.

He stopped the car, leaned it against a tree, locked it, and walked towards the aunts and uncles.

"Aunties, what's going on? Let me hear something new." He Yuzhu said as he handed a candy to an auntie.

The aunt quickly took the candy, stuffed it into her pocket, and said with a smile: "Oh, Zhuzi, you are so generous! Wait a few years, and I will find you a beautiful wife."

He Yuzhu couldn't help scratching his head when he heard this: "Auntie, let's talk about the future later. First, tell me what happened to the Jia family."

After talking to several middle-aged ladies, He Yuzhu finally figured out what was going on.

Ever since Jia Zhang's reputation was ruined by herself, the matchmakers nearby spread the news about her and no one suggested a marriage for the Jia family anymore.

A beautiful woman came into the alley this morning, and my aunts and uncles were still discussing which girl was so pretty.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhang came over in the afternoon to brag about it. They then realized that it was Jia Zhang who paid extra money and asked the matchmaker to find a girl from a country family.

"Well, it's destined to happen!" After finding out the gossip, He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle back to the yard.

"Huh?" He Yuzhu entered the yard and didn't see Yushui playing with them. He felt a little confused and walked towards the main room.

He entered the room and saw a dark shadow in front of the table. He said, "Yushui, why don't you light a lamp? It's pitch black in the room."

When Yu Shui heard the voice, he put down the steamed bun in his hand, turned around and said, "Brother, you're back!"

When He Yuzhu turned on the light, he saw the lunch box on the table and frowned slightly.

"Yushui, is this what Dad brought back? Where are the others?"

Yu Shui nodded wildly, thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. Dad heated up the lunch box for me and then left."

He Yuzhu reached out and touched the lunch box. It was indeed warm, and the steamed buns in the bowl were not steaming.

He turned to look at Yu Shui: "Are you full? Do you want me to make you another portion?"

Yu Shui touched her stomach and shook her head: "Brother, I'm full."

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and asked Yu Shui, "Is it just like this today? Or has it been like this for several days?"

Yu Shui didn't want to cause an argument between her father and brother, so she rolled her eyes and said, "Brother, that's it for today. I'm going out to play first."

After she said that, she ran and hurried into the yard.

He Yuzhu smiled as he watched the rain run away.

"This little girl! Looks like we have to confront He Daqing today. She's getting deeper and deeper into trouble. She's doomed to run away!"

Under the cover of night, the courtyard was silent. He Daqing pushed his bicycle and walked towards his door in the dark.

He Daqing entered the room, turned around, closed the door, and was about to bolt it when he heard voices behind him.

"Dad, you're back!" He Yuzhu said softly while sitting at the table.

He Daqing was so frightened that his legs went limp, and his voice trembled: "Zhu Zi, what are you doing? Scaring people can kill people, don't you know that?"

He Yuzhu lit the oil lamp on the table and looked at He Daqing: "Yushui has fallen asleep, so don't be so loud."

He Daqing put down the bolt in his hand, calmed himself down, walked to the table and sat down: "Zhu Zi, just tell me what you want to say!"

He Yuzhu poured him a cup of hot tea and put down the teapot: "Dad, what are your plans?"

He Daqing picked up the teacup and took a sip, frowning: "Zhu Zi, what are your plans?"

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "White Widow! Now you should know what I mean!"

"Ahem~" He Daqing choked and said hoarsely, "I'm your father, do I still have to explain to you?"

He Yuzhu looked at He Daqing who was holding on and sighed: "I don't dare to ask you to explain. If I hadn't come back today and saw Yu Shui eating steamed buns, I wouldn't bother to say it."

He Daqing thought that something was indeed wrong recently, but who could blame the White Widow for being so charming?

"Ahem~ I didn't tell you because I was afraid you two wouldn't agree with this. Now that you know, there's no need for me to hide it."

He Daqing thought of the plump White Widow, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

He Yuzhu looked at the mysterious smile on his face and rubbed his brows: "Is she willing to marry you?"

Hearing this, He Daqing's face changed, and he said hesitantly: "She has two sons, and she wants me to go to Baocheng with her. I have this plan, but I want to leave next year."

He waved his hand to stop He Yuzhu from asking questions, and continued: "Don't worry, I just want to move to a new place, so that ordinary people won't know about my past, and our family will be safer."

He Yuzhu looked at He Daqing in front of him and understood what he was worried about. He also gave up the idea of ​​persuading him.

"How did you two know each other? That's weird."

He Daqing said with satisfaction and pride, "She is a distant relative of a factory worker. Her husband died and she came here to live with us. The factory worker asked Yi Zhonghai to ask me to help her and arranged for her to work in the kitchen."

He Yuzhu couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Huh?! Yi Zhonghai? Why is he involved in this?"

He Daqing didn't understand and looked at He Yuzhu in confusion: "What's wrong with this? That worker is from Yi Zhonghai's workshop."

He Yuzhu had only seen this kind of conspiracy mentioned in novels, and he didn't have any real evidence.

He thought for a while before asking, "Dad, where did her ex-husband's family come from? What's her own background? Don't say you're doing this for the good of the family and then dig up a huge minefield and bring it back."

After hearing this, He Daqing fell silent and thought in his heart.

He said unconfidently, "That shouldn't be the case! How can she have a great background if she has to seek refuge with distant relatives? This worker is just an ordinary worker, and he was a poor family in the banner before."

He Yuzhu pointed towards the backyard and raised his eyebrows: "The old lady in the backyard too?"

"Why are you bringing this up?" He Daqing frowned and chuckled.

"Well, just pretend I didn't ask. If you want to go to Baocheng, I have no objection. But what about Yushui? You can talk to her yourself."

He Daqing tilted his head to look at Yu Shui's room, with a guilty look on his face: "I will comfort Yu Shui. After I settle down in Baocheng, I will send you living expenses."

He Yuzhu nodded and reminded: "Send it to me directly, don't ask someone to forward it to you!"

He Daqing looked at him in surprise: "Why should I send it to others?"

He Yuzhu also reacted. Now that he had stood up, He Daqing no longer thought of him as a child who could not take on responsibilities.

"Oh oh, just ignore what I said."

He finished his tea in one gulp, stood up and walked out the door: "Dad, I suggest you go get the evidence first. Don't let anyone report you for being a hooligan, or I won't send you to jail."

He Daqing sat on the chair, squinting his eyes in thought. Putting aside the beautiful widow, he used his IQ to take the upper hand and felt that he should be on guard.
