The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Sometimes I really regret it.

What I regret is not raising funds to buy a house, but why I didn’t choose more at that time and why I chose such a neighbor.

They are right next door, or even just a few doors away. The children are naughty and climb over the wall into the yard. The adults are also unreasonable and have conflicts every few days. The older grandmother is also a gossiper.

The good impression I had of Qin Huairu when we first met has almost been completely wiped out by these trivial matters in the Jia family.

Jiang Defu, wearing a military uniform and ready to go to work, kept complaining in his heart. Listening to the noise from next door, he knew it was not right to open the door, nor was it right to stay open.

That wicked mother-in-law is still cursing the man her daughter-in-law is looking for outside. I guess the residents upstairs are frowning now.

"Cui Dake, didn't you say you wouldn't come here~!"

Maybe Jia Zhang was tired of quarreling, after all, she had just quarreled with him before. It was not until the noise stopped that Jiang Defu heard Qin Huairu opening the door and questioning her.

The sound was not loud, but the doors of the two houses were next to each other, and Jiang Defu, who was standing by the door and preparing to go out for work, could not help but hear it.

"Sister Qin, isn't this also something important? You can tell your mother-in-law to rest first, and I won't go in~!"

"If you have anything to say, tell me now. I have to go to work~!"

The two couples don't look like a couple, but more like strangers. At least, that's what Jiang Defu thinks. He also recognizes this about the man and woman who are remarrying and starting a family.

"Well, in the courtyard, your old neighbor He Yuzhu is getting married. He asked me yesterday. It's up to you whether you go or not, but I'll let him know anyway~!"

Cui Dake, who was standing at the door, was unable to enter the Jia family's house after all. He could only look at the furnishings in the new house through the open doorway. His tone was lukewarm and he really looked like he was here to inform someone.

This made Qin Huairu, who was blocking the door, a little puzzled. She looked at Cui Dake carefully. Did he come here just to inform you of the news so early in the morning?
At least, in her opinion, it shouldn't be that simple, but looking at Cui Dake who was about to turn around and leave, it seemed that it was that simple.

"Get married, you stupid idiot, what are you doing? Go and give him money, he won't come, but he asked you to come, and you actually came~!"

Speaking of He Yuzhu, Jia Zhangshi didn't know where the anger came from, and she was finding fault with Cui Dake. If it wasn't for this lover's mischief, she wouldn't have had to go back to the countryside and live a life like a ghost for half a year.

It seems more like she is taking her anger out on others, as any man outside would have bad intentions towards her daughter-in-law.

"Mom, please stop talking. Dake, did you come here on your own, or did he ask you to come here? Are you going to marry Liu Lan?"

Seeing that Cui Dake really had no intention of buying the house, Qin Huairu hurriedly stopped him, as there was a lot of trickery going on here.

If he was getting married to Liu Lan and invited me over specially, what did that mean? Was Liu Lan trying to show off, or did He Yuzhu really treat her as his neighbor for many years and wanted to invite me to his home for the last banquet?

Logically speaking, since they have already moved in, it doesn't matter whether Qin Huairu goes or not. The two of them don't work or live together now, so they still have to pay for the banquet.

If I don't go, the most I'll do is add a few more scratches to my already ruined reputation.

Qin Huairu was not afraid of having a bad reputation, she was just wondering if Liu Lan was issuing a challenge to her, a war between women.

"Yes, Liu Lan, someone sent us an invitation with our names on it. Since I live in that yard now, I have to go. Whether you go or not is not my business~!"

Cui Dake sounded a little aggrieved when he said this. The invitation was written as a family invitation, but he still had to run over to ask Qin Huairu for permission. If this were in the past when he was still the section chief, the identities and roles of the two people would have been completely reversed.

"No, next time don't come over for these trivial matters~!"

Listening to her daughter-in-law's tone, she was a little tempted, so Jia Zhang made the decision. She did not forget to refuse directly and even spit.

People in the courtyard invited the daughter-in-law and her family to come over, but that would just be a joke for the mother-in-law, so they just refused directly, saying, "When will you two become a family?" The evil old woman was very wary of this.

The man is still able to work and has a formal job. The two of them got married behind her back. Fortunately, no one was killed, otherwise, her eldest grandson might have been left without a mother.

"What date next month?"

Seeing that Jia Zhang was planning to cut off all ties with that side, Qin Huairu felt quite uncomfortable.

If they don't go this time, the reputation of the Jia family in the Siheyuan will be really infamous, unless they don't plan to go back to that courtyard in the future. Outsiders may not know that He Yuzhu helped the Jia family, but the people in the Siheyuan and the surrounding neighbors all know about it.

The main thing is that Liu Lan was so happy. It wasn't that Qin Huairu looked down on Sha Zhu. How could she, a widow with a child, get together with Sha Zhu and live together?

"Number Two, I gave you a washbasin. You don't have to prepare anything. Just give it as a token of your appreciation~!"

In the end, he stopped and explained the time to Qin Huairu.

Look at other people who are getting married for the second time and at least have a wedding. Then looking at his own current situation, Cui Dake feels bad too.

Once a person falls from power, they will immediately have different dreams. It would be fine if they could sleep in the same bed, but the key is that now he can't even enter the door of the new house. At this moment, Cui Dake's desire for power is more urgent than ever.

"I won't let you go~!"

Seeing that the two of them were getting together again and going to the banquet as a family, Jia Zhang couldn't bear it anymore and immediately looked at Qin Huairu with a covetous look.

The struggle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been passed down in literature for thousands of years, not to mention that the daughter-in-law is not honest.

In fact, many middle-aged and elderly people are like this. They have been bossing around at home all their lives, and even after they lose the confidence of income, they are still reluctant to give up power and want to take care of everything.

But with the changes of the times, our knowledge gradually cannot keep up with the development of the outside world. No matter how much salt we have tasted, it will be useless and the situation will only get worse.

"It's ok for me not to go. If you don't care about Dongxu's reputation, then I don't care either. My father-in-law has been gone for so many years anyway~!"

This mixture of explicit praise and implicit criticism made Jia Zhang's lips tremble. She was obviously unwilling to let her daughter-in-law go, but she also felt embarrassed for the two pillars of the family who left early.

Dongxu's father was buried by Yi Zhonghai and the Zhao family, and his son Dongxu was buried by He Yuzhu and his people. Now it's their turn to get married - the Jia family has really become ungrateful people.

"I will go with you, and the kids will go with you too~!"

Unable to win the fight, Jia Zhang had no choice but to give in. As two living people, they could allow others to point fingers at them.

But the dead people still owe favors to the people in the courtyard. The daughter-in-law can bear the blame, but the people of the Jia family cannot. She has experienced how mean Sha Zhu’s mouth is.

Seeing that the people next door had finally come to an end, Jiang Defu straightened his green military uniform, put his hat on his head, opened the door, and walked out.

Jiang Defu even pretended not to see the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at the door and was too lazy to pay attention to them.

As for Cui Dake, when he saw a soldier suddenly appearing from the open door of the next room, he looked at him carefully and recognized him as the tall man who had controlled Jia Zhang during the move that day.

"No, why is there a soldier living next door~?"

Looking at Jiang Defu, who didn't even want to say hello and just walked away, Cui Dake asked with a puzzled look on his face. Of course, he was asking Qin Huairu, and he even looked at his cheap wife with some suspicion.

"What do you care? Get lost!"

Jia Zhang, who didn't like the answer at all, was too lazy to answer.

"I'm a security guard at the factory's research institute. All right, go back and tell Zhuzi that our whole family will be there. When the time comes, you should prepare the red envelopes~!"

As if she saw some suspicion in Cui Dake's eyes, Qin Huairu, who was a little embarrassed and annoyed, immediately glared at him. If Cui Dake had not paid back the money obediently every month, she would not even bother to explain.

"Research Institute, security guard?"

At this moment, Cui Dake, who left alone, didn't care about the red envelope or not, but seemed to remember something.

The file bag that slipped off the table also contained a list of personnel from the steel mill research institute.

What exactly does that research institute do? (End of this chapter)
