Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1228 Out of Water

To be honest, that guy named Liu is really not a good person.

He ruined his only son. A grown man in his 30s, he couldn't even carry anything. He did nothing all day long and just hung out with a bunch of idiots.

I'm over 30 years old and still rely on my parents and my sister.

It's hard to describe how he raised his daughters, which makes people feel so disappointed in him.

"Tell me, does his younger son-in-law have some leverage over him? Otherwise, why wouldn't he dare let his younger daughter go and make trouble with his younger son-in-law? Look at what he has done to his eldest son-in-law's family."

The captain's wife couldn't help shaking her head as she spoke.

Those girls with the surname Liu are both hateful and pathetic.

Their father treated them like that, so logically, there would be some rift between the father and daughter.

But those girls of his were simply stupid.

Instead of enjoying a good life, she wants to take over her husband's family and use it to subsidize her own family.

Of course, she didn't mean that her daughter couldn't subsidize her parents' home.

Even though she doesn't have a very good relationship with her mother's family, if her brothers or others really encounter difficulties and are about to starve to death, she will lend a hand no matter how difficult it is, after all, they are family members.

But no matter what, she could never achieve the same level as the girls of the Liu family.

In her opinion, the girls of the Liu family have gone crazy.

Whenever her husband's family had something, she would secretly take it back to her parents' home.

Take the recent years for example, when every household was starving and lying on their beds, waiting to die, the daughters of the Liu family secretly sent the few life-saving food from their husband's family back to their own family because their younger brother said he was not full.

The families of several sons-in-law of the Liu family were almost wiped out.

During those two years, the sisters raised their younger brother to be plump and healthy, but their own children almost starved to death.

It was only because their mother-in-law discovered the situation early and lent a hand that the children were prevented from starving to death.

Over the years, the in-laws of several families have been troubled by them.

If it weren't for the fact that she had given birth to children for the family and the children were no longer young, this life would have been unsustainable long ago.

The Liu family's sons-in-law were once so angry that they sent them back to their parents' homes.

But it didn't work. Those stupid women only remembered to eat and not to be beaten. They had no memory at all.

After being well behaved for ten days or half a month, she will return to her old tricks and secretly move things from her husband's home to her parents' home.

Later, the men simply gave up. Several sons-in-law of the Liu family took the initiative to propose separation, as they did not want to implicate their brothers and the elderly in the family.

There are also cases where one’s own mother is asked to be the housekeeper and is watched over all day long, not giving her the opportunity to subsidize her parents’ family.

The sons-in-law of the Liu family have also made up their minds. If their mother is still alive, they will let her manage the household. If her mother is not around, they will manage the household themselves. When their children grow up and their sons get married, they will let their sons and daughters-in-law manage the household.

In short, never let your wife at home interfere with things at home.

However, even with such strict supervision, the daughters of the Liu family always found opportunities to dig out some things and bring them back to their parents' home from time to time.

Compared with the past, the in-laws of several people just ignored these little things.

It's not worth getting angry with someone who is not in the right mind.

"Alas, the girls of the Liu family have been taught stupidity! Instead of living a good life, they make a fuss all day long. They don't even look at how thin their daughters and sons have become." The captain's wife shook her head and couldn't help sighing when she thought of the poor children she saw a few days ago.

"Why bring this up? The reputation of the girls in our Xie family team has been ruined by his family." When Captain Xie mentioned this, his face couldn't help but darken.

Before this incident, the girls in Xiejia Village were sought after by hundreds of families. It is no exaggeration to say that the door was broken by people. But since this terrible thing happened, the reputation of the girls in Xiejia Village has not been as good as before.

Captain Xie also has a daughter, so naturally he was implicated as well.

But it was okay at the time, after all, his father was there to block it. Although others would gossip, they still gave his father some face. Although his daughter's marriage went through some trouble, the final result was still good, and the son-in-law was also a good person.

What worries the captain the most now are his granddaughters. The first few granddaughters are already quite old and are about to get married.

If the reputation of their Xie family brigade remains like this, what will happen to his granddaughters?
Thinking of this, Captain Xie couldn't help but want to curse.

"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this anymore!"

Although she said she would not mention it, the captain's wife could not help but say: "How big a handle must Liu have that his son-in-law had on him? He actually endured for so many years and did not ask his daughter for anything."

Zhang Yu treated these words as just a story. He never expected that one day he would actually come face to face with this famous "vampire".

But it is hard to say who is the one who suffers the loss.

Anyway, after all the trouble, a batch of treasures of unknown origin appeared in Zhang Yu's space.

He doesn't care who lost it. Now that it's in his hands, no one can get it back.

As for what the "owner" who lost everything overnight would think, Zhang Yu didn't care at all.

What a joke, this is not the same thing as the one that happened in Beijing.

He did not regret donating the treasure to the country. After all, he did it not for a certain person, but to see the prosperous motherland in the future sooner.

He's not greedy, but he's not selfless to that extent either.

Of course, he would collect what he should collect, and would never touch anything he shouldn’t collect.

This time it was time to receive it, so he naturally accepted it with a smile.

Otherwise, it would be a pity for some people's painstaking calculations.

If you want to plot against him, you must be mentally prepared to bear the consequences of failure.

Of course, this is a later matter.

At this time, most of the people's attention was still on the water pump.

Talking did not delay their work.

While the captain was talking to his wife, he did not forget to find something to clean the rust on the copper pipe.

I have to say, the quality of this tube is pretty good.

It has been left there for so many years that the exterior is already covered in rust, but it hasn't rusted through yet.

I took it to the water pump and tried it. It was slightly thicker than the water pump.

But it is not a difficult task. Just add two rubber pads made from car inner tubes, put on the clamps that Zhang Yu asked Master Wu from the machinery factory to make, tighten the screws on it, and it will be done.

"Xiaoyu, is this done?"

Looking at the things added to the front of the tractor, the captain asked nervously.

"As long as there is no leakage, it's fine." The only thing Zhang Yu is worried about now is leakage.

"Then let's go and try it." The captain's wife urged impatiently.

"Okay, there's a well right next to the brigade headquarters." Zhang Yu nodded, then removed the copper pipe and drove the tractor to the well.

The steel pipe is then inserted into the well and connected again.
