Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 271 Reason
Chongwenmen courtyard, why Yuan Chaojia.

After the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, He Yuanchao, who was lying on the bed, glanced at Zhang Min, who was a little distracted. He took a cigarette from his pants on the bedside and asked about Zhang Lide and Ma Xiufang.

Seeing that his father-in-law wanted to eat his father-in-law's melon, Zhang Min glared at him angrily, without answering, turned to his side and closed his eyes.

When He Yuanchao saw this, he smiled without saying a word, put a cigarette in his mouth, then reached into the bed and touched Zhang Min's waist.

Feeling his man's movements, Zhang Min quickly used his remaining strength to grab the troublesome hand on his waist and said, "Stop making trouble, I'm sleepy, go to bed quickly."

He Yuanchao, who was in high spirits, had no way to inquire about Liu Lihua's family affairs, so forget it. The daughter of the Zhang family was lying next to him, so he had to hear about it anyway.

As soon as the strength in his hand increased a little, Zhang Min, who was afraid that He Yuanchao would cause trouble again, quickly begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I said it's not okay?"

"Aren't you going to say it?"

He Yuanchao glanced proudly at his wife beside him, pretending to be a little disappointed and said: "I still like your stubborn look just now."

After saying that, He Yuanchao with a smirk on his face reluctantly took back his hand.

"If you don't agree to Xiao Zhao's affairs and ask him to deal with Lu Wenli, isn't this forcing your son to have a hard time?"

After listening to Zhang Lide's words, Ma Xiufang's heart suddenly became angry.

As soon as Zhang Lide came home last night, Ma Xiufang told him that Zhang Zhao called and asked for 500 kilograms of national food stamps and 500 yuan in cash.

He Yuanchao also felt a little funny that he had eaten melon on his own head, but he didn't say anything. He smoked a cigarette and listened quietly to Zhang Min's continued talk.

Although the relationship between Zhang Min's parents cannot be said to be affectionate, it can at least be regarded as a common complaint.

Although the old couple usually quarrels over trivial matters, if the matter is not serious, they will soon reconcile.

Since Zhang Zhao fell in love and got married in another place, he rarely went home.

I will never be so angry that I have a headache like today, and I will hide out and not go home with an excuse.

As the saying goes, water has a source, trees have roots, and there must be a reason why leather pants are worn over cotton pants.

Everyone has something difficult to say, and every family has something difficult to sing.

Zhang Lide didn't even have to think about it. He must have been instigated by his good daughter-in-law, so he refused without hesitation and warned Ma Xiufang to stay away from that arrogant family member in the future.

This matter should be put in the past. Zhang Lide, who was determined to cultivate his son, just pinched his nose and admitted it for Zhang Zhao's sake.

"If you don't live well, just leave. This big man has to live like a coward all day long. I really wish they could get divorced!"

This time is no exception.

The child is the flesh that fell from the mother's body. Zhang Lide can ignore Zhang Zhao's difficulties for various reasons, but Ma Xiufang cannot be so cruel.

The reason why there was such a fierce quarrel this time was because of Zhang Min's brother Zhang Zhao.

Stab~~
Standing up and half leaning on the bed, He Yuanchao took out a match, lit a cigarette and took a puff, waiting with relish to listen to his wife's story.

Zhang Min turned around, glanced at his man with a flushed face, did not break his promise, wrapped himself in a quilt, and talked about what happened between his parents.

But now that he has a son-in-law with better prospects for development, Zhang Lide wants to punish Zhang Zhaoer's stinking weakness, and incidentally also reveals the cowardice he has suffered from his son-in-law's family in the past few years.

Normally, except for taking care of family matters and asking for property, I basically don't contact them. I don't even call my parents to greet them on their birthdays, let alone write letters.

Anyway, his son is not close to his family except for listening to his wife's orders. Even if he hates himself, Zhang Lide doesn't care now.

"Leave, leave, leave, it's easy to say. What will they do if they leave their grandson? With such a small person, you can cruelly leave him without a mother?"

……

The old couple kept saying things to each other, and the more they talked, the more they became more and more angry. When they were so angry, they refused to give in to the other, and their words became more and more unpleasant. In the end, if the quarrel between the two hadn't attracted the staff at home, who knows what might have happened!

After Zhang Min finished speaking, there was a look of fear on his face.

Seeing this, He Yuanchao threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, touched Zhang Min's face and comforted: "The matter is over, don't worry anymore.
Besides, my father-in-law is also a senior cadre of the organization, so no matter how loud the quarrel is, he will not fight against my mother. "

"I'm not afraid of doing anything. I'm just afraid that my mother will be angry. What if she gets angry again..."

"Don't say depressing words during the first lunar month."

Seeing Zhang Min tending to shed tears as she spoke, He Yuanchao hurriedly interrupted her and said: "We are all people who have gone through ups and downs. Mom is far stronger than you think."

……

After talking for a long time about comforting words, He Yuanchao saw that Zhang Min was speechless for a long time. He Yuanchao took a closer look and found that she had fallen asleep at some point.

"With this kind of mental endurance, I still have the nerve to worry about my mother-in-law, who has worked in transportation behind enemy lines!"

Seeing the tears at the corners of Zhang Min's eyes and tucking her into bed, He Yuanchao couldn't help but murmured softly.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, He Yuanchao woke up early.

Maybe it was because he was a little too busy last night. Zhang Min, who usually got up early to cook at this time, showed no sign of waking up at this time.

After looking at his daughter-in-law who was sleeping soundly, He Yuanchao didn't have the nerve to call her. He quietly got up and put on his clothes, then opened the door and left the main room with a spittoon.

After returning from the public restroom outside the courtyard, He Yuanchao didn't dare to be idle. He put down the spittoon, washed the handles, and then turned around and entered the kitchen.

By the time Zhang Min hurriedly came out of the room, He Yuanchao had finished practicing his boxing and kicking, and walked out of the kitchen with a small basin of cooked porridge.

Looking at the breakfast in He Yuanchao's hand, Zhang Min's face showed emotion and a hint of shame.

"Yuan Korea, ask me to get up and cook in the morning..."

"It doesn't matter who does it."

Before Zhang Min could finish what he said, He Yuanchao interrupted with a smile: "There are braised pork and pickles that we got from my godmother last night in the kitchen, go and get them.

I'm burning my hands here. Let's go inside first. "

After saying that, He Yuanchao pretended to speed up and walked towards the house.

Zhang Min didn't waste any more words after hearing this, and walked into the kitchen.

After breakfast, He Yuanchao, who was worried about Ma Xiufang, said to Zhang Min while smoking a cigarette: "If nothing happens tonight, let's go to your house after get off work?"

Hearing this, Zhang Min, who knew what He Yuanchao meant, did not object.

"Let's see. If nothing unexpected happens at work, we will go back. We happened to have dinner at mom's house. I'll call mom to tell her as soon as I get to work."

"Ah."

When He Yuanchao heard that he was going to his mother-in-law's house for dinner, He Yuanchao didn't hesitate. He nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Okay, that's it for now. If anything happens, I'll call you."

While talking, Zhang Min had almost tidied up the room.

He Yuanchao put out his cigarette butts and sealed the stove, then the two of them put on their coats, locked the door and left the house.

After riding a bicycle to the steel rolling mill, as soon as He Yuanchao's butt touched the chair behind the desk, Li Jiefang appeared at the door of the office with his head peeping out.
