Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

In fact, the conflict between Tan Yali's parents and the Tan family of Sijiu City is very simple.

Tan Yali's parents had offended a big boss from Baldy's side in the south, so they thought of coming to Sijiu City to seek refuge with the Tan family, hoping that the Tan family in Sijiu City would find some big shots to help them smooth things over.

But at that time, the Tan family of Sijiu City was also in a precarious situation. They were strong on the outside but weak on the inside and had to rely on their old capital to make a living.

People in society give face to the Tan family and call them a scholarly family, but those who don't give face will not even look at the Tan family.

It is estimated that the Tan family of Sijiu City at that time felt that they could not protect Tan Yali's parents, nor could they help to smooth things over, so they politely declined Tan Yali's family.

Tan Yali's parents still had some savings at the time. If they changed their identities and moved to a different city, at least they would have no problem living a comfortable life.

But later her parents fell ill and were cheated by an acquaintance, which forced Tan Yali and her family of three to squander all their property, and Tan Yali had to marry Lou Bancheng as a concubine.

This is how the conflicts from the previous life were created.

It’s not like there’s any deep hatred between them.

But no matter how good the relationship is, it can’t get better.

After all, Tan Yali had been self-pitying and resentful of Miss Tan for the past few decades.

But in the twenty years after arriving in Hong Kong, both sides have lost touch.

In fact, it's just a competition between cousins.

The four people at the table each have their own unique way of eating.

Guo Shumiao would definitely not be full with just a bowl of porridge. Her stomach has been raised on steamed buns, noodles and rice since she was a child. If she doesn't eat some noodles or rice for a meal, she feels like she has not eaten anything.

Tan Yali was familiar with this little girl and even prepared a plate of steamed buns for her.

So Guo Shumiao held the spoon in one hand and the white flour bun in the other.

A typical example is to eat chicken and bird's nest porridge with steamed buns.

Guo Shumiao is small in stature, with a small face and mouth, but he eats in the most ferocious way.

She didn't pretend either. She ate a half-cooked steamed bun and a bowl of porridge. She was the first one to put down her bowl and chopsticks.

Lou Xiao'e also had a northern appetite, but she was not in the mood to eat at the moment, so she took a bite of the half steamed bun that Guo Shumiao gave her, and looked absent-minded.

On the contrary, the two elders were extremely elegant, as if they were counting the rice kernels in their bowls of porridge while eating.

Guo Shumiao looked at this and that, then stood up with a guilty conscience and said, "I'll go up to see Yuanyuan and Xinghua."

This is another case of competition. Lou Xiao'e named her little girl He Yuan, which has the same pronunciation as He Yuan but different characters.

According to Lou Xiao'e's explanation, the word "yuan" means a jade disk with large holes, which meant a priceless treasure in ancient times.

But Guo Shumiao always wondered, there are so many words with auspicious and beautiful meanings, why is it that He Yuan has the same pronunciation but different characters?
There is still a competitive spirit in it.

Most families with many children seem to have this problem. When they have nothing to do, they just compete with each other from generation to generation.

After Guo Shumiao left, Tan Yali put down the spoon. She stared coldly at the still elegant Miss Tan across from her, but said in a low voice in a bad mood: "Stop pretending. Who doesn't know who? Who went to the kitchen to steal the pork knuckle to eat back then?
Do you have any solution for Xiao'e's problem?"

"Hmph!" Miss Tan snorted coldly, but a blush could not help but appear on her elegant face.

Miss Tan refused to admit defeat and directly retorted, "Didn't you sneak into the kitchen in the middle of the night to steal some steamed buns? You even deliberately opened the lid of the pot to make it look like a mouse was climbing onto the stove."

Lou Xiao'e had no choice but to lower her head, wishing she could hide her face in the small bowl.

Guo Shumiao only saw the elegance of the two elders, and only Lou Xiaoe knew that when her mother and her aunt met, it would be a life-and-death situation.

I wish I could expose all the embarrassing things that happened to the other person when he was still wetting the bed.

It turned out that the two of them were bickering and knew to avoid Lou Xiao'e.

After being caught by Lou Xiao'e once or twice, they no longer cared about Lou Xiao'e. They would fight each other after all. If Lou Xiao'e dared to laugh or do something.

Then the object of their quarrel became Lou Xiao'e again.

For example, Miss Tan would laugh at Tan Yali for not educating her daughter well.

Tan Yali will retort that she has a daughter and a grandson...
Miss Tan would laugh at Lou Xiao'e's manners and appearance, saying that she was a northern girl, while Tan Yali would say that her daughter gave birth to a son...

Of course, there is a limit to all this bickering.

Even if Miss Tan had nothing to say, she would not mock Tan Yali and her daughter for being others' mistresses.

According to a description of a certain movie star by later generations, he laughed at everything in the movies except love.

Pretty much the same idea.

"··You have big feet··"

“···You have bad breath···”

The two elegant ladies kept trash talking to each other, but they both restrained themselves and kept their voices down.

"Sister-in-law, Yuanyuan is having diarrhea." Guo Shumiao's panicked voice sounded from upstairs.

She was a new wife and had never experienced this before.

This call really saved Lou Xiao'e's life, otherwise she would have laughed out loud.

However, the quarrel between the two elders dissipated the depressing atmosphere.

After Lou Xiao'e left, the two of them suddenly fell silent again.

Miss Tan continued his elegant eating, and Tan Yali hesitated for a while, but couldn't help asking: "What should we do about Xiao'e?"

Miss Tan sneered, "Your daughter doesn't have that brain, and you don't either?

After all, I have never experienced anything big, so my vision is a little off."

For the sake of her daughter, Tan Yali forced herself not to refute.

Miss Tan won a round and was in a good mood, so she said with a smile: "If you take on this trouble, it will all be yours.

The foreign trade outlets over there want it, so just give it to them.

Give them all and see if they are hot enough."

Tan Yali sighed, resting her chin on the table with both hands, and said helplessly: "This is to intensify the conflict, not to solve the problem.

Even if they give in now, they will still remember this against our family.

Maybe we’ll settle the accounts once things stabilize.”

Since Miss Tan said this, there will naturally be a follow-up.

She said calmly, "Who said you want to intensify the conflict?
Just let Xiao'e report all the difficulties she is facing and tell her that you can't solve them.

Just ask them for solutions.

If there is no other way, let them take back the trademark.

I think your cheap son-in-law must have a way, but now he can't take the initiative to contact you.

Otherwise, it would prove that he had divided his family into two and bet on both sides.

So, someone has to ask him for advice.

Isn’t there someone behind the little girl above?

You are anxious, but those people are even more anxious.

Besides, even if those people take revenge in the future, it will be the He family’s business.

Of course there are men outside to protect them from the wind and rain, what does it have to do with you old people, children, women and children?"

"Is it possible?" Tan Yali hesitated.

Miss Tan nodded slightly. (End of this chapter)
