A Siheyuan Home Brings Good Fortune

Chapter 58 Before Marriage

Back in the courtyard, after a period of hustle and bustle, it slowly fell silent.

Only Yi Zhonghai was sighing that the He family’s popularity was growing.

Now there were two more people in the family. Although Jia Zhang was incompetent and barking at home, she still gave a forced smile when she saw them outside;
Qin Huairu felt jealous when she saw Cai Wenqing being so well cared for.

He Yukai was supporting her, He Yuzhu was holding things, Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen were following behind, each holding one, being the apple of everyone's eye.

He Yushui was carrying things and was surrounded by people, and was jealous and crazy.

Seeing He Yushui carrying milk powder, which was a nutritional supplement that her family could not even dream of;
Yan Bugui was thinking about the full moon banquet.

When Liu Haizhong saw He Yukai’s child, he thought of his own eldest child.

The eldest brother who was loved but left his hometown without any regrets, etc.
More than half a month passed. Qin Huairu smelled the fragrance coming from the He family and saw the pig's trotters, fish, etc. that He Yukai bought every day. She was so jealous that her face was unrecognizable.

Due to lack of nutrition and insufficient milk, my son’s meat is not enough to eat.

Our family’s financial situation is limited, so we can only stew pig’s trotters occasionally. It is impossible to eat it often.

During this time, I watched from the window how Cai Wenqing was being cared for by the He family, and lamented the injustice of fate to me.

"Master, Huairu is malnourished. Can you get some milk powder from the He family and give it to Banggeng? Banggeng is growing very slowly, and it's obvious that he's malnourished.

It doesn’t matter if our lives are a little hard, as long as we don’t make our children suffer.

You can’t buy milk powder just by having money, you need milk powder coupons. If you are short of money, we can live frugally, but if you don’t have milk powder coupons, there is nowhere to buy it even if you want to.”

Jia Dongxu had a bitter face and went to Yi Zhonghai for help.

"Dongxu, I'll give it a try, but it may not work.

You know the He family boss. He has no sympathy at all.

They don't even take us, the managers, seriously. What's wrong with the world now?

You better be prepared to be rejected."

Jia Dongxu originally didn't want to come to find Yi Zhonghai, but was instigated by the jealous Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu’s idea was very simple. It was good to come over, as the sticks could supplement nutrition.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't come. I'll feel good if I can let Cai Wenqing feel upset.

Why are we both women? Your life is so good while mine is so difficult. Jealousy makes people lose their minds.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu and really didn't want to agree, but this was his only pensioner and he couldn't leave any grudge in his heart.

In the past, I had Sha Zhu as my backup, but now Sha Zhu has become less and less friendly to me and no longer listens to me.

He pushed the responsibility to He Yukai as soon as he was told, showing no respect for the elderly. Yi Zhonghai felt helpless.

In the end, the obsession with retirement overcame his reason, and Yi Zhonghai prepared to talk to He Yukai.

Yi Zhonghai has seen the He family's recent meals, which are far worse than those of the Jia family.

If I don't agree, I will have to pay the money. Now he has come to me, so he is my apprentice after all.

I don't want to pay this money. I think that we are already fathers, and as long as He Yukai has a little sympathy, he should agree. I don't believe that there can be such a selfish person.

"Xiao Kai, I have something to discuss with you."

He Yukai looked at Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu who was following behind him, and he knew that Yi Zhonghai was up to no good again.

The matter has not been said and he cannot refuse directly, which is not in line with He Yukai's personality.

If possible, He Yukai really didn't want to talk to this old guy.

He is almost fifty years old, but he doesn't worry about the things he should worry about. He wants others to support him in his old age and he also wants to get things for free. It's really speechless.

"Oh, uncle, what do you say?"

"Xiao Kai, you see Qin Huairu is malnourished, and now Banggeng is getting thinner and thinner. Your family has good nutritional supplements, can you give Banggeng a can of your milk powder?

We are neighbors across the street. If I hadn’t been really helpless, I wouldn’t have found you. We have always been a united family. We all have children, and you are the father of two children. I know the difficulties.”

"Uncle, if we didn't have children, it wouldn't be a problem. But now we have two children. My wife's milk is not enough. What will happen to my child if I give it to the Jia family?"

"Your family is better off, so there is a way. You and Dongxu grew up together, and a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative."

"When I'm not angry, you guys should get out of here right away. You need milk powder coupons to buy milk powder, and you can't get them just because you have a good income.

Besides, our family has a high income because of our own efforts. Jia Zhang is so young, but she knows that her family is swearing every day and does nothing. Qin Huairu has no job, so can she do the job of pasting matchboxes?
You only know how to do laundry and play the victim, helping in emergencies but not the poor. Are you still Jia Dongxu's master?

I can't afford pig's trotters and fish, is that okay? Pig's trotters don't need tickets. Uncle San often goes fishing. I don't believe you can't do anything about it. My two children won't eat them, so they give them to bacon. Are you a fucking idiot?"

"You are too heartless, get out." After leaving, Yi Zhonghai couldn't bring himself to do that, so he gave Jia Dongxu five yuan to buy pig's trotters and some Chinese medicine to increase lactation.

Then he went back angrily, saying that what He Yukai said was too harsh.

Yi Zhonghai, don’t you think about it? People don’t eat their own children but give them to other people’s children. He Yukai is not stupid.

"How about Dongxu? Did the He family agree?"

Seeing Jia Dongxu coming back, Qin Huairu couldn't wait to ask.

Qin Huairu had a plan, and as long as she agreed this time, she would shamelessly go to eat with Cai Wenqing next time he had a meal.

The two cadres in their family would never let me watch them, right?
"No, the master and I were kicked out, and the master gave me five dollars. I'm going to buy some pig's trotters to nourish you."

Jia Zhang began to curse. Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu shook their heads helplessly. If it weren't for their mother, perhaps their relationship with the He family wouldn't be so bad. Maybe they could even take advantage of it.

Now, we live next door to each other and we hardly talk, like strangers.

Two months have passed in a flash. There is no full moon banquet and no plans for a hundred-day banquet. It will be enough to just have a meal at home.

Others did not think this decision was wrong. Supplies were in short supply right now, and it was basically impossible to plan a hundred-day banquet.

After getting married, the whole family will probably go hungry. The wedding day of He Yuzhu and Xu Damao is approaching.

Something happened in these two months. A hundred days after the explosion, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu went to Qinjia Village.

This was the second time Qin Huairu returned to her parents' home after getting married, and she went back just in time to bring some food.

When they got there, they were dumbfounded. It turned out that when they started the pilot production team, all the land in Qinjia Village was cultivated in a unified way and grain was distributed according to work.

The two went back happily, but when they came back in a gloomy mood, Jia Zhang started to make a scene in the yard, and people in the yard began to laugh at her.

Last year, when the Jia family brought back grain, Jia Zhang was arrogant and domineering.

I feel so comfortable now.

Jia Zhang knew something was wrong, so she went back to the countryside to verify it.

As a result, they also implemented the same thing, which meant that if they didn't go back to work, there would be no food.

This made the Jia family dumbfounded. Now, relying on Jia Dongxu's share of commercial grain alone, they could not feed the entire family.

Jia Dongxu could only go to the pigeon market to buy expensive food, which was barely enough with one month's salary. Yi Zhonghai also supported him with some corn flour and other things, and he could barely get by.

Seeing this situation, Jia Zhang ran to the street office to change her household registration to an urban one, but the street office refused.

When the household registration reform was being carried out, Jia Zhang refused to do anything despite all the work done.

Now that the policy has changed, changing your household registration is against the regulations.

Jia Zhang made a fuss for several days, and the staff had no choice but to say that the deputy director was away and had asked for a long vacation.

I'll ask after the deputy director comes back. The people at the household registration office of the street office didn't tell Jia Zhang who the deputy director is, so they don't dare to say!
Given Jia Zhang's character, if she had told someone about it she would have gone to the director's house to make a scene. The director was at home taking care of the children and would be back at work in about a month. There was no need for her to be the bad guy.

Jia Zhang had no choice but to come back, but she didn't dare to go too far. At that time, the power of the street office was terrifyingly great. If she made a big fuss, she might be sent back to the countryside, where she would starve to death.

Yi Zhonghai knew that Cai Wenqing was the deputy director of the subdistrict office, in charge of household registration work, but seeing Jia Zhang's character, he didn't say anything. He decided to wait until everyone knew about it!

If I tell Jia Zhang this news, I might end up being implicated and it would be bad if I was targeted by Cai Wenqing.

I cannot lose my status as a manager. It’s not that I am so keen on this position, but I don’t have the status of a manager.

You can't meddle in other people's family affairs, and you can't improve your own prestige. It's not right.

He Yuzhu and Xu Damao followed He Yukai's advice and got married in winter so that they could have their baby in summer.

In order to let their children and their wife suffer less, the two began planning their wedding in the past few days. After seeking each other's opinions, they decided to set up two tables.

It will be enough for the three uncles in the yard to come, and the deaf old lady will deliver the food over. If they don't, it will be bad for their reputation. They can't eat much anyway. He Yuzhu is fine alone, so Xu Damao and Xu Fugui still want to send a bowl.

The deaf old lady is the oldest person in the yard, and it would be inappropriate not to send her off.

Other families just need to send some wedding candies, and no gift money is required. Only the other party’s direct relatives will come, and distant relatives will not come.

The other table invited the leaders of the steel rolling mill. Both of them work in the steel rolling mill. It is enough that they are in different departments. Lou Zhenhua is very supportive and it is better to keep a low profile for now.

Lou Zhenhua is slowly dealing with his family's business, so he wants to keep a low profile.

The banquet was prepared by He Yuzhu's senior brother, and the master accompanied the leaders of the steel rolling mill.

After the happy decision was made, the whole courtyard was informed. The Jia family was stirring up trouble behind the scenes. Jia Zhang had not intended to give a gift money but wanted to take this opportunity to have a good meal, but it didn't go as planned. She could only bark in her own home and had no other choice.
