The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Blue factory pants, black leather shoes, and crossed legs.

The camera slowly moves upwards, with one hand in his pocket and the other hand pouring himself a glass of wine. He picks up a peanut covered with salt particles with chopsticks and throws it into his mouth. Then, a cup of spicy white wine is sucked directly into his mouth.

“Hiss, ha~!”

The wine was dry and spicy. He Yuzhu shook his head and wiped his forehead to his chin with his big hands without any expression on his face. After chewing for a while, he picked up the chopsticks on the table, knocked them on the table, and continued to repeat the action.

The marriage didn't take place, and it does seem a bit bleak and lonely. If Liu Lan were here, she wouldn't have offered a couple of drinks, but at least she wouldn't have had a plate of peanuts to go with the wine.

The wedding characters pasted on the doors and windows have been torn off, but the red paper may have been stuck firmly, and the untorn red paper now reflects the sadness in Sha Zhu's heart.

Some things may be figured out, but no one knows whether you can accept the answer in your heart.

“Pah, pah, pah~!”

Faintly, Zhuzi seemed to hear something. He tilted his ear and squinted his eyes, listening for a while, but couldn't tell where it came from.

But this kind of sound still made He Yuzhu a little drunk. It might be because he drank a lot that night. When he got drunk, his neck instantly turned red to the back of his ears.

"This Ma Hua, he doesn't know how to be gentle, day after day~!"

He Yuzhu, who was no longer a pure boy, knew what to do with the familiar slapping sound. He muttered to himself, unable to hide the sour taste in his voice.

If the marriage had been concluded that day, he wouldn't have had to do this. Now he can only listen and pretend not to hear.

He Yuzhu stood up shakily and walked to the dormer window. He opened the lid of the wooden box on the table, revealing the vinyl record player inside.

The record was already placed on the turntable, but the needle was moved to the side. He shook the right handle and the turntable slowly rotated. Only then did He Yuzhu place the needle on the record.

The melodious music gradually came out of the wooden box, much clearer than what was heard on the radio.

He Yuzhu closed his eyes and slowly lowered his head. Finally, he paused and raised it up again with a smile on his face.

The annoying crackling sound was finally covered up by the music~!

"Destiny, this is destiny~!"

He Yuzhu staggered a few steps and retreated to the bed. He fell headfirst onto the bed, muttering to himself. He simply lay on the quilt, clasped his hands in his arms, and just listened.

Liquor and music seemed to be his only two magic weapons to relieve his loneliness, allowing him to temporarily forget the pain of reality and feel the excitement of fate.

"What is this idiot doing at this hour of night when he is not sleeping?"

"Don't worry about him, he might be drunk again~!"

The only downside to the record player is that it can be a bit disturbing at night.

It can be heard not only in the backyard, but also in the middle yard.

The noise coming from the Jia family suddenly became much quieter, and the curtains swayed slightly, but the door of the He family was closed, so no one could see what was happening inside.

"Did Shazhu even buy a radio?"

Qin Huairu didn't know what a record player was, and she thought Sha Zhu had bought a radio and was listening to it late at night~!

"Why do you care whether they buy it or not? Come on, give me my cigarettes~!"

"Go, take it yourself~!"

Amid the rustling sounds, Qin Huairu put on her clothes and went to the living room carrying the bottle of water. Cui Dake was lying at the head of the bed, and after he struck a match, he looked very lazy.

The sound of matches accompanied by the sound of pouring water, plus the sound of the symphony of fate, made Qin Huairu's face a little gloomy.

"You really don't want to give me a child?"

When Qin Huairu returned to the bedroom again, Cui Dake, who was lying on the kang, asked this rather sharp question casually.

In the darkness, Qin Huairu's expression was a little unclear. After hesitating for two seconds, she slowly leaned over and pushed Cui Dake.

"What are you talking about? Why are you in such a hurry? I'm not ready yet. I can't even feed three of them~!"

"Twenty plus ten, thirty, your own salary, even if you make twenty, fifty, is not enough to support yourself?"

Flicking the ash under the kang, Cui Dake stared into Qin Huairu's eyes, as if he wanted to see the most truthful answer.

But the widow turned around and put on her clothes quietly, without even meeting his gaze.

"It's only been given this month, and your job isn't stable enough. If you give birth, you'll have one more mouth to feed~!"

Not only did Qin Huairu deny it, but there was also a hint of grievance and complaint in her words, as if the problem was all with Cui Dake.

"Okay, so many times before, I just assumed you didn't want to have a baby. Now that I've given you enough money, does that mean you can have a baby?"

Cui Dake has also recognized the woman in front of him. She only cares about money and is greedy for money. But he must have a child, at least one.

As for helping to raise the three little ones of the Jia family, Cui Dake admitted that he was not such a noble person. Even if we take a step back, the three children did not change their surname to Cui.

Qin Huairu paused, her face was very tangled, why did she bring up this matter at this time. "Don't take me lightly. Although I am in the foundry workshop now, I can't say for sure what will happen in the future. If you don't want to, then I will have to find someone who is willing to help me give birth~!"

There was an indescribable certainty in Cui Dake's words, but this certain tone made Qin Huairu even more flustered.

"How dare you? This is just my business~!"

Qin Huairu suddenly turned around and glared at Cui Dake, her eyes revealing an indescribable dominance.

"That's it. Work is not your concern. I will definitely move by the end of the year at the latest. But you have to obey me, your belly. If there is no movement, I will have to find someone else to see if I can do it~!"

He used the calmest tone and said the cruelest words. It would be a lie to say that he had no doubts. The two of them had been together for such a long time, and this had happened many times, but until now there had been no movement. Cui Dake's suspicion was not only directed at outsiders.

"Okay, go back to your leadership position first, I'm going to look for Sha Zhu~!"

Having said that, Qin Huairu felt very guilty. It wasn't that Cui Dake was a bad person, she just didn't want to have a baby. The two of them knew each other very well now and knew each other's personality.

If the children really are born, will Cui Dake still treat her three children the same way as before?
This is Qin Huairu's biggest concern.

She is very selfish, and Cui Dake is not a selfless person either. Whether the ring should be removed or not is still debatable.

As he watched the widow put on her clothes and go out, Cui Dake's eyes gradually drooped. Something was wrong. The widow's reaction gave him the feeling that something was still wrong.

To put it bluntly, he lacks confidence and his toughness seems to be pretended.

"Don't try to play any tricks on me~!"

……

He Yuzhu, who was intoxicated by the twists and turns of his fate, heard a knock on his door and slowly opened his eyes.

After he heard who was outside, he slowly closed his eyes again.

However, the door was not locked. Seeing that He Yuzhu did not open the door, Qin Huairu simply tried to push the door, and it actually opened.

"Squeak~!"

More than a month later, the brother and sister met again in the new house, but Zhuzi's attitude represented everything.

Qin Huairu looked around the room. Sha Zhu turned over and turned his back to the door, as if he was really drunk and didn't want to see anyone.

"Pillar~!"

The more he ignored her, the more Qin Huairu came closer. She sat on the edge of the bed on the other side and pushed He Yuzhui, who had his back to her.

"I don't have any money. My dad took the money. Go find him!"

Although he was a little drunk, He Yuzhu's mind was still clear. Was the noise coming from the backyard or the middle yard? One was in front and the other was in the back. How could he not hear it clearly?
"Who asked you for money? I want to tell you something~!"

He Yuzhu's straightforwardness made Qin Huairu roll her eyes. She simply stood up from the edge of the bed, walked to the record player and started studying it.

"This thing is good, it can make a sound, where did you buy it?"

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't waste my time. You can't afford to pay for it if it breaks~!"

With drooping eyelids, He Yuzhu looked at Sister Qin's back and spoke bluntly. It seemed that Qin Huairu in front of him was no longer the Sister Qin she used to be.

"Yu Li's sister, what do you think of her? Her figure and looks, wow, she's a good match for you~!"

Seeing that Sha Zhu finally paid attention to her, Qin Huairu stopped fiddling with the record player and said to He Yuzhu with a wink.

"Are you still blaming me? If you really get married, will you still have a chance?"

Seeing that Sha Zhu turned around again and faced away from her, looking as if he didn't want to bother with her, Qin Huairu simply sat next to him and said something tentatively.

"Come on, are you done? If you're done, go back~!"

Yu Haitang was once a classmate of her younger sister Yu Shui. They were of similar age. How could she be thinking about him so much? She couldn't help but get angry.

"Don't like it? What about Teacher Ran? Teacher Ran is still single. She is now a great class teacher, but she is still a virgin~!"

"Come on, the man's father is from abroad, stop trying to match people up with each other!"

He Yuzhu stood up with an impatient look on his face and pointed at the door. He seemed not to appreciate Qin Huairu's kindness at all.

"Tsk, tell me which one you like, and I'll come to your house and help you. So what if she just came back from abroad? Teacher Ran didn't come back from abroad. OK? We've shown our sincerity. Her teacher can visit her home, but I, as a parent, can't visit her~!"

Qin Huairu nudged He Yuzhu's thigh with her elbow and winked at him. The fact that the marriage didn't take place meant that Shazhu was still thinking about the virgin girl again, but he was just saying one thing and thinking another.

"Yu Haitang, Teacher Ran, Teacher Ran, Yu Haitang?"

Qin Huairu kept mentioning these two names, staring at Sha Zhu's face, trying to figure out something from it.

"you you……!"

"Oh~, it's Teacher Ran again. Teacher Ren is very good, well-educated, and an intellectual. Don't try to trick me. We know what you're thinking~!" (End of this chapter)
