Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

Jia Zhang recounted to Jia Dongxu what had happened in the courtyard over the past year. Jia Dongxu felt mixed emotions. When he heard that Sha Zhu's big house was taken away by He Yushui, he actually felt a sense of loss.

Jia Dongxu gets angry when talking about Sha Zhu. He is really a loser among losers. If he had gone to jail for him, his house would not have been lost. But now, that was the best house in the courtyard, and it was lost to a money-loser.

"Mom, why did Sha Zhu agree to this?"

Jia Dongxu didn't understand. This was seriously inconsistent with Sha Zhu's character.

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and said, "I was frightened by someone."

"Who?"

"Who else could it be? My Jia family's enemy, that beast Liu Guozheng."

"Liu Guozheng again?"

"Who else could it be but him? The little bastard was so bold in saying that. I was so scared that I almost peed myself."

Talking about the situation at that time, Jia Zhang's face was full of disdain.

"Didn't my master say anything?"

"The old man himself was almost sent to prison, what dares he say?"

"Mom, look at you, don't scold my master all the time in the future, it's not good. After all, my master is very good to our family."

"Why, you've grown so capable, you still want to control your mother? I can scold anyone I want in my own home."

When Jia Zhang heard her son say this, her temper exploded on the spot.

Jia Dongxu stopped talking. He knew his mother's temper very well. The more he talked to her, the more excited she would be. At this time, he just had to ignore her and wait for her to get bored and stop talking.

"Silly Zhu, thank you, sister."

Qin Huairu's voice came from outside the house.

"Humph."

Jia Zhang's face turned cold and she felt unhappy, especially when she heard Qin Huairu talking to Sha Zhu. She felt even more unhappy.

But she held back today. It was the first day her son came back, so she'd better not curse anyone, especially when the person she cursed was her daughter-in-law.

"Bang Geng, Bang Geng, come quickly, see what delicious food mom has brought back for you."

As soon as she entered the door, Qin Huairu shouted that there were fish fillets in the cafeteria today, and Sha Zhu had reserved the best parts with the least bones.

“Bang…”

Before Banggeng could take action, Qin Huairu "sold" the lunch box.

"Dongxu, you're back."

Qin Huairu couldn't believe that the man of her family had returned, the man she had been thinking about day and night had returned. She was so excited that the lunch box in her hand fell to the ground.

"Qin Huairu, you are going to die. You can't even hold a lunch box. What's the point of it?"

The lunch box fell and the fish pieces were scattered all over the floor, covered with dirt, which made Jia Zhang very sad.

"Wow.."

Bang Geng burst into tears on the spot.

"My dear grandson, don't cry, don't cry, grandma will wash it for you and make it again."

Jia Zhang was picking up the fish pieces on the ground while coaxing Bang Geng.

When Jia Dongxu heard Banggeng's cry, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.

Another slap hit Banggeng's face.

"Cry, cry for me again?"

Jia Dongxu got angry, and Banggeng was so scared that he didn't dare to cry. He knew that this new father really beat him, unlike his mother and grandmother who only said it but were reluctant to touch him.

"Dongxu."

"Huairu."

The two looked at each other in silence, and Qin Huairu's tears flowed down on the spot. This was not acting, but a true expression of her heart. After all, Jia Dongxu treated her well.

"Mom, take Banggeng to Shazhu's place and ask him to remake the fish."

After hearing what Jia Dongxu said, Jia Zhang didn't say anything. She packed up the fish pieces, asked Banggeng to hold them, picked up Xiaodang, and went out to find Shazhu.

"Huai Ru, come and let me see you. I miss you so much."

"Dongxu, don't, let's talk about it in the evening."

"What are you waiting for? Come over here at night."

"Ah."

"..."

...................

"Shazhu, Shazhu, open the door."

Banggeng was holding the lunch box and kicking Shazhu's door.

"Silly Zhu, what are you dawdling about for? Why don't you open the door?"

Jia Zhang was standing outside the door holding Xiaodang, her face full of unhappiness.

"Bang Geng, you are really good. You even remember to send fish nuggets to your silly uncle."

Seeing Banggeng carrying a lunch box, Shazhu was very happy. He thought Banggeng was a good boy and it was not in vain that he was nice to him. Although the fish piece was taken from him, it also showed that Banggeng cared about him, his silly uncle.

"Silly Zhu, you are ugly, but you have beautiful ideas. Now the fish has fallen to the ground, you should make it again for the stick."

Seeing Shazhu's forty-year-old face, Jia Zhang was very impatient. What a waste! It would have been great if he had taken the blame for Dongxu. If Shazhu hadn't brought lunch boxes back from time to time, Jia Zhang wouldn't even want to pay attention to him.

"Where's Sister Qin?"

Sha Zhu took the lunch box and looked outside. There was no one behind Jia Zhang, including his sister Qin.

"Silly Zhu, what are you thinking about? Hurry up, don't let my good grandson starve."

As she spoke, Jia Zhang entered Sha Zhu's house.

"Hey, Aunt Jia, what are you doing in my room?"

Shazhu didn't expect this either. If you want to come in, just come in. What are you, an old woman, doing here?

"Silly Zhu, I came to your house to give you face, don't be ungrateful."

Jia Zhang rolled her triangular eyes and sat down on the chair at the door without any courtesy.

"Aunt Jia, the fish is already cooked. It's easy. Just heat it up and add some seasoning. Go and call Sister Qin. I'm frying some cabbage. We can eat here today."

Sha Zhu was busy with his hands, but he was still thinking about Qin Huairu.

"Silly Zhu, what other dishes do you have at home?"

"Cabbage and potatoes, that's all."

"You're useless. You're a great chef, but you don't have any meat at home."

"I..."

Shazhu was so angry that he said, "You old hag, how can you talk so easily? Didn't all the meat I brought back go to your Jia family?"

"Silly Zhu, what are you doing? Fry some more cabbage and potatoes. I'll go home and eat later."

Jia Zhang gave the order with confidence.

"Aunt Jia, can you finish your meal?"

"Silly Zhu, just fry it if I ask you to. If I can't finish it, my son will eat it."

"Aunt Jia, you haven't woken up yet, your son is still in labor reform."

"Silly Zhu, you grandson, do you know how to speak? Your son is in labor camp, and your whole family is in labor camp."

Jia Zhang's spit was flying everywhere, and Sha Zhu was scolded so much that he stepped back and almost spilled the pot.

"you..."

"What are you talking about? My son is back."

Jia Zhang said proudly.

"What? Brother Jia is back?"

"Correct."

"Why did Brother Jia come back? Sigh."

"Silly Zhu, what do you mean?"

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

"That's more like it, let's do it quickly."

"Don't worry about cooking yet, I'll go see Brother Jia first."

"What are you looking at? Cook your meal."

Jia Zhang leaned over and blocked the door.

"Aunt Jia, what are you doing?"

Sha Zhu was startled, but luckily he retracted his foot in time, otherwise he would have knocked Jia Zhang out.

"What a fool."

Jia Zhang didn't care and blocked the door to prevent Sha Zhu from going out.

There was no way. Sha Zhu didn't dare to push Jia Zhang away. Not to mention that she was holding a child in her arms. With Jia Zhang's personality, she would definitely cause a big fuss in the yard.

"Brother Jia."

Sha Zhu suddenly opened the window and shouted.
