Soul of the Siheyuan: Zhuzi, I can still give birth

On the way back, Yu's mother asked Yu Li.

"How is it, are you satisfied with the solution for this child?"

Yu Li nodded.

"I'm satisfied. Tomorrow is Sunday. Let's go with the whole family and settle the marriage. Invite the matchmaker as well. Both the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words must be followed."

Yu's mother also felt that Yu Li was right, so she nodded.

"When your sister came back last week, she said she would go to her classmate's house this week. It just so happens that her classmate also lives in this courtyard."

Yu Li nodded.

"It's just right. We can go directly to the courtyard tomorrow. It will be convenient. Let's go to the matchmaker's house and ask her to go with us tomorrow."

The mother and daughter then walked towards the matchmaker's house.

When the Yan family returned to the yard in the evening, they heard that the He family also had a blind date today.

The Yan family members were still in a good mood, especially Yan Bugui, who said.

"It seems that good things are happening all the time in our courtyard. Even blind dates come one after another."

He Yushui rode the bike, carrying Yu Haitang and I back to the courtyard.

When I came back, I heard that my brother had a blind date. I thought Sister Li Qin had officially come to discuss marriage, and I was extremely happy.

Yu Haitang, on the other hand, was a little unhappy.

"Yushui, are you so happy that your brother is going on a blind date? Wouldn't it be good for me to be your sister-in-law? We are still best friends."

Yu Haitang has always wanted to marry He Yuzhu, who is handsome and rich, and is the perfect choice for a husband.

Now that I heard that He Yuzhu was going to date me, the matter of me marrying him became a thing of the past.

"What are you thinking about? My brother is ten years older than you, and you still want to be my sister-in-law."

He Yushui teased and took Yu Haitang back home.

"Brother, Haitang is staying at our house tonight. What are we having for dinner?"

As soon as He Yushui entered the room, he shouted at He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said.

"My brother has been promoted to director. Although he is a deputy, he is still an official. To celebrate, let's go to Donglaishun tonight and eat until we are full."

When they heard that they were going to eat at Donglaishun, He Yushui and Yu Haitang jumped for joy.

There was only one car at home, and it was definitely impossible for three people to ride it, so we decided to take the tram when we went.

If it's too late when you come back, just walk back.

The three of them put on their coats, wrapped their scarves around their necks, and went out.

As soon as I went out, I saw Bang Geng, who was in a plaster cast, looking at the three people who came out with a look of resentment.

He Yuzhu ignored him and hid a few dollars and some meat at home before going out, waiting for this little brat to steal them.

A little ungrateful guy, now he is becoming more and more daring.

In the past, if I left a few dollars at home, he would only dare to steal a few cents.

And now, he steals as much as I put in.

It seems that if I continue to raise it, it will become very difficult in the future.

When Qin Huairu saw Yu Haitang coming to He Yuzhu's house again, her face suddenly turned dark.

When he heard that the three of them were going out to eat mutton hotpot at Donglaishun, he looked at the corn flour in the noodle jar and saw that it was almost empty.

I also have to go to the hospital tomorrow to change the dressing and plaster for Banggeng.

Next, there is the issue of nutrition of the bonsai, each of which costs money.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but shed tears.

She didn't know why her life had become like this.

When I was in the countryside, I was also a famous beauty in the area.

Later, she married and moved to the city, becoming a city dweller that everyone in the village envied.

Unexpectedly, she became a widow after enjoying her blessing for only a few days.

There is an evil mother-in-law above and three children below, all of whom are opening their mouths waiting for me to feed them.

Qin Huairu got a headache when she thought about having to spend money everywhere.

So she left the house and went to the uncle's house.

The uncle is cooking dinner.

Today, an old man came back from overtime, tired. An old woman went out to buy a chicken and was stewing it at home.

Whenever an old man makes delicious food, he always stays at home and eats it behind closed doors.

Although he would occasionally send some food to the deaf old lady in the backyard, it was only noodles, white flour buns and the like.

No meat was ever delivered to the backyard.

The old man is afraid that others will say that he lives a life of luxury and like a capitalist.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

There was a knock on the door.

An old lady and an old man were eating stewed chicken. When they heard a knock on the door, they were frightened.

"Old Yi, who is this person, knocking on the door in such a cold weather?"

An old lady asked an old man.

An old man shook his head and said.

"Take the chicken into the kitchen and hide it. Bring out the pickled vegetables and steamed bread. I'll go open the door."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to open the door.

The aunt brought the pot of chicken soup into the kitchen and took out the steamed buns and pickles.

'crunch'

The door is opened.

Qin Huairu, whose little face was red from the cold, was blowing air through her mouth, trying to warm her hands.

Seeing that it was Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai looked around and found no one in the yard.

Then he said this to Qin Huairu.

"It's Xiao Qin, come in quickly, it's very cold outside."

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at Yi Zhonghai, then straightened her clothes and went into the house.

"Xiao Qin, what can I do for you?"

An old lady was eating steamed bread. When she saw Qin Huairu coming, her face looked unhappy.

"Auntie, I'm here to ask an uncle for help."

Qin Huairu said with a bitter face.

"Uncle, my family can't make ends meet anymore. We've run out of food and coal briquettes. Banggeng has to go to the hospital to get his medicine changed tomorrow, which will cost at least another dozen yuan."

When she said this, Qin Huairu burst into tears.

"Uncle, I really have no other choice, so I came to you for help. I have three children, two of whom are still growing, and one is only three months old. I really have no other choice."

When the aunt saw Qin Huairu's tearful face, she softened her heart and asked Qin Huairu to sit down.

"Huai Ru, come and sit down, let's talk!"

An old man also frowned and said.

"Xiao Qin, you need to study your craft more. You have been working in the steel mill for three months. According to normal standards, you should have been a regular employee."

The uncle was very curious.

After working in the factory for three months, you can be converted to a regular employee.

But what about this Qin Huairu? She is still an apprentice.

I am also receiving an apprentice salary of twenty-two dollars and fifty cents a month.

Qin Huairu looked at the old man guiltily.

How could she dare say that she was slacking off at work and that other workers were doing the work for her?

The condition is to go to the small warehouse with others and learn production techniques.

Yi Zhonghai is also very busy at work every day, wandering around different workshops and solving various problems.

So there was no extra time to look at Qin Huairu.

"Hey... After dinner, I'll call everyone to hold a meeting and donate money to your family."

"Su Qiong, go get some cornmeal for Xiao Qin."

An uncle asked an aunt to bring some food to Qin Huairu.

"Xiao Qin, go back first. After the meeting, I'll get you some bacon. It's too conspicuous to take it back now. Go back first."

The uncle ordered Qin Huairu to leave, so she had no choice but to take a few pounds of corn flour and go back home.

She knew that tonight... Qin Huairu would have a miserable look on her face.

After dinner, Yi Zhonghai notified the second and third uncles and called everyone out for a meeting.

Who would want to go out and freeze in the middle of winter? Even Liu Haizhong, who loved attending meetings the most, started complaining.

"Old Yi, why are you holding another meeting? Nothing has happened in the hospital recently. What is the purpose of holding a meeting?"

Yi Zhonghai laughed and said.

"Isn't this the Jia family's business? You also know this..."

"Stop talking. Are you asking us to donate money again? I'm not saying anything bad about you, Old Yi, but why is there so much trouble in the Jia family? First of all, I won't donate a penny."

The third uncle at the side also said with his neck stiff.

"I'll be frank with you, I won't donate a penny, whoever wants to donate can do so."

Seeing that the two uncles were not cooperating with him, the eldest uncle became a little annoyed.

"Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, you are the elders in the courtyard. If you don't take the lead in donating, will your neighbors in the courtyard also donate?"

"If you do this, how can we three uncles still have face?"

Yi Zhonghai blamed the two of them.

But the two still refused to give in and refused to donate a single cent.

"Old Yi, this is not a question of having face or not. If you want to have face by donating money, I don't want that kind of face."

Yan Bugui was absolutely unwilling to donate money. That was not money, that was life.

"Tell me, how can you take the lead and get this done?"

Yi Zhonghai knew that these two guys would not take the lead in donating money today unless they got some benefits.

"We said that donations are fine, but we won't give a penny!"

Liu Haizhong exchanged glances with Yan Bugui and began to speak.

Yi Zhonghai didn't understand what Liu Haizhong meant.

What do you mean by donating money, but they don’t spend a penny.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai who looked confused, Yan Bugui spoke.

"We are not against donations, but we won't contribute a penny. In other words, you have to pay for it and we will donate it, understand!"

Yi Zhonghai suddenly realized.

"These two old guys are really calculating! Damn it."

In Yi Zhonghai's heart, he had already severely scolded the two uncles.

Finally, he had no choice but to take out two five-dollar bills and asked the second and third uncles to take the lead in donating the money when the meeting starts later.

Donglaishun mutton hotpot.

He Yuzhu and the other two had eaten so much that their bellies were so full that they could hardly walk.

"Hurry up and catch the train, or you'll have to walk back home."

He Yuzhu urged the two to hurry up and take the bus together.

The Xu family in the backyard.

Xu Damao was drinking and eating pig's head, while Qin Jingru was busy in the kitchen.

Although Qin Jingru is a bit greedy for money, she is actually quite cheerful and efficient.

"Jingru, be careful, don't disturb the fetus. If you lose my son, I won't forgive you!"

Qin Jingru was in the kitchen and was terrified when she heard what she heard.

I've been alive for two months, and there's no movement in my stomach.

The original plan was to make a fake pregnancy certificate to reassure Xu Damao.

Then she and Xu Damao tried harder to get pregnant again.

But two months have passed and my stomach has not responded.

This made Qin Jingru very anxious.

I originally wanted to discuss it with my cousin.

But ever since I married Xu Damao, I have cut off contact with my cousins. Now I am afraid that if I go to them for help, they will ignore me.

"Even eating can't stop your mouth, how can it fall out so easily? Eat quickly. Liu Guangfu just came to inform us that a meeting of the whole hospital will be held at 8 o'clock!"

Qin Jingru picked up a steamed bun, took a big bite and said.

Xu Damao said disdainfully.

"Another meeting? Believe it or not, it must be another donation to your sister's family. Is this Yi Zhonghai having an affair with your sister? Why is he protecting the Jia family so much?"

Qin Jingru rolled her eyes at him and spoke softly.

"What are you talking about? My sister would like that old man Yi Zhonghai. I heard people in the yard say that my sister is having an affair with Zhuzi. I don't know if it's true."

Xu Damao shook his head.

"If it was the old Sha Zhu, I would believe it. But if it was the current Sha Zhu, I think it definitely wouldn't happen. I always feel that the current Sha Zhu... is not Sha Zhu!"

Qin Jingru was confused, so she asked curiously.

"What do you mean by Sha Zhu now? He is not Sha Zhu. If he is not Sha Zhu, then who else could he be? Could he be a ghost who has returned to life?"

After hearing Qin Jingru's words, Xu Damao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In the past few months, Shazhu has really become a different person.

I provoked him many times, but he never hit me.

This made Xu Damao very uncomfortable. He felt that the current Sha Zhu was not really Sha Zhu.

Just like what Qin Jingru said, this Sha Zhu might be someone else's resurrection.

Soon, someone outside shouted that it was time for a school-wide meeting.

There was a light snowfall, but luckily there was no cold wind, otherwise no one in the hospital would go to the meeting.

In the middle of the courtyard stood a broken round table with a box on it.

When the people in the yard saw this, their faces turned black.

There is no doubt that it was Yi Zhonghai again, asking everyone to donate to the Jia family.

Everyone was unhappy that they had to endure the cold in the winter and still donate money to the Jia family.

It was strange today, neither the second uncle nor the third uncle spoke.

According to convention, the third uncle gives the opening remarks, the second uncle explains the reason and purpose of the meeting, and the first uncle makes the final vote.

To this day, it is an old man who makes the direct opening remarks.

"My dear neighbors, I am really sorry for letting you suffer in such a cold weather. I will not waste any more words and will directly tell you the reason for the incident."

"Everyone knows about this Jia family member's joke. Some time ago, a pillar broke his wrist."

"I have to go to the hospital to change the dressing tomorrow, and my family is struggling to make ends meet, so Qin Huairu found the three of us tonight..."

"Hey, hey, hey... Lao Yi, don't say anything nonsense. Qin Huairu didn't look for us. She looked for you. Don't drag us into this."

Liu Haizhong became anxious first and spoke before Yi Zhonghai could finish his words.

The donation tonight is definitely going to offend people, and he doesn't want his crotch to be covered in mud, otherwise it will all be shit.

When the neighbors blame him, he will be implicated.

Yi Zhonghai glared at him and could only speak again.

"Yes, Qin Huairu came to see me. I went to see the second and third uncles. This... the Jia family is in trouble, and everyone knows it."

"As neighbors, we should all lend a helping hand, so we need everyone to donate some money to help the Jia family tonight."

After saying that, the old man took out ten yuan and put it in the box.

Then he looked at the other two uncles.

The two old men then reluctantly took out five dollars each and put them in the box.

When the other neighbors saw that the three uncles had donated money, they also reluctantly contributed money.

At this time, three figures walked into the middle courtyard.

Seeing a large group of people in the central courtyard and boxes on the table, He Yuzhu and his sister knew that they were asking for donations again.

But Yu Haitang has never seen it.

So he asked curiously.

"Brother Zhuzi, what's going on? It's snowing in the cold weather, what are they doing?"

He Yushui whispered to Yu Haitang what was going on.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai said to He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, you're back just in time. Come on, show some love. It was you who broke Bang Geng's hand."

"Originally, you should have paid for the medical expenses. Now I just ask you to donate some money. Let's forget about it."

What Yi Zhonghai said was a matter of course, but He Yuzhu had no intention of paying.

Qin Huairu walked to He Yuzhu at this time and said crying.

"Zhu Zi, just help Sister Qin. Don't worry, Sister Qin won't take your money for nothing. Sister Qin will help you wash clothes and clean the house. How about that?"

Looking at Qin Huairu with tears streaming down her face, He Yuzhu ignored her and spoke to all the neighbors.

"I believe everyone still remembers that last time these guys teamed up to attack my family's rainwater, Yi Zhonghai compensated my family with a thousand yuan."

"The Jia family is a little poorer, so we asked them to pay 500 yuan, but they said they had no money, so I broke the hand of that ungrateful little bastard, and the 500 yuan will be used as medical expenses."

"Now the Jia family has Yi Zhonghai to play this trick on me. Okay, Qin Huairu, you want to play it this way, right?"

He Yuzhu spread his hands and said to Qin Huairu.

"Then give me 500 yuan and I'll pay for your little ungrateful bastard's medical expenses, how about that?"

At this time, Jia Zhang pulled Qin Huairu away, put her hands on her hips and said to He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, what are you thinking? Even if my son Bang Geng's hands and feet were broken ten times, it wouldn't cost him 500 yuan. We don't want your donation, you have no conscience."

Jia Zhang's words made everyone laugh.

Although this old hag is not well educated, it is hard to fool her.

Seeing that he couldn't get money from He Yuzhu, Yi Zhonghai had to ask the neighbors in the courtyard to continue donating.

Just as everyone was taking out their money, He Yuzhu spoke again.
