Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

"Boss Xueru, this door panel is too heavy. It's not something a woman should do. You'd better find a helper." Yang Chong said.

Chen Xueru looked at him: "Then can I come to you?"

Yang Chong did not answer and changed the subject: "Okay, Boss Xueru, I have to leave quickly. My wife is waiting at home. By the way, when do you think I can come to pick up the clothes?"

"The day after tomorrow." Chen Xueru said.

"Okay, see you the day after tomorrow." Yang Chong waved his hand and left without looking back.

Behind her, Chen Xueru pouted and sighed in her heart: "Alas, why do I always miss out on good men?"

When he returned to the courtyard, he saw all the children in the yard gathered at his door, looking at the bicycle he had ridden back earlier.

There were bicycles in the yard. The third uncle in the front yard had one, and Xu Damao in the back yard also had one.

But their cars were all old, especially the third uncle's, which was a second-hand car bought from a repair shop, and all the parts were assembled. It was nothing like Yang Chong's car, which was brand new and could reflect a person's reflection. Everyone who saw it would stop and say a few words of envy.

At this moment, Yu Xiu was standing in front of it, holding a rag, happily wiping the already brand new and bright bicycle until there was no dust at all. After she came back from get off work, she heard Xiaojuan say that this was the bicycle that the factory had provided for Yang Chong, so she was very happy.

People in the courtyard also heard about Yang Chong and his wife going to work in the steel mill. On Yang Chong's first day at work, the factory gave him a bicycle. Everyone was envious and said that the Yang family had a good fortune. In the past, they could not even get enough food and suffered from hunger all day long. Now, not only did he find a wife, but he and his wife also worked in the steel mill as formal employees.

They even gave him a bicycle. How could one not be envious?

The Jia family's reaction was different. Jia Zhang looked at the brand new bicycle with her eyes almost emitting fire. She stared at it for a long time before spitting on the ground in hatred and saying, "Humph! It's just a bicycle. What's so special about it?"

He went back to his room angrily, and sat down on the edge of the kang as soon as he got back. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got: "Humph! Why? My old Jia died in the steel mill, and Dongxu has worked in the factory for several years but he doesn't have a bicycle. How can he, an orphan and uneducated guy, have a bicycle as soon as he enters the factory? And why did he get into the steel mill? And he brought that little beggar in with him?"

He stared at Qin Huairu and said, "Qin Huairu, look at him. A beggar has entered a state-owned factory to earn a salary, but you are just eating for free all day long. My Dongxu has been dragged down by you!"

Qin Huairu:......

Chapter 40 Go to the next door to borrow some meat

Qin Huairu felt so wronged, thinking how could it be my fault again? A beggar could work in a state-owned factory because Yang Chong was capable. I have been married to your Jia Dongxu for several years and I am still a freeloader. Who can I blame?

I can only blame your family for being useless!

But she didn't dare say this out loud, for she would definitely be beaten if she did.

So I could only pretend I didn't hear it, swallow my anger and keep my head down to continue working.

After a while, Jia Dongxu came back with a dark face as soon as he entered the door. He also saw the bicycle when he entered the door.

When I was at the factory, I heard that Yang Chong and his wife had really been assigned to the steel mill, and I started to feel unbalanced. But at first I was still thinking that I would find a way to punish them when they were assigned to the workshop.

After all, I have been a veteran worker in the factory for several years.

In addition, Master Yi Zhonghai is one of the few eighth-level fitters in the factory, so it is easy for him to deal with a worker who has just entered the factory.

But unexpectedly, these two people did not enter the workshop. Yang rushed into the purchasing department, and Yu Xiu, a beggar, went directly to the statistics department.

From now on, you will be treated as a cadre!

The master and the disciple were in a bad mood all of a sudden, especially when they were eating in the cafeteria at noon. When they heard people talking about the pork and vermicelli stew, which was the "letter of surrender" sent by the newcomer Yang Chong, they suddenly felt that the meat didn't taste good anymore.

Now back in the yard, seeing the bicycle that the factory had provided for Yang Chong, the master and apprentice felt even more upset.

Qin Huairu didn't dare to say anything when she saw his expression. She quickly brought the prepared food to him, Jia Zhangshi and the stick. Then she and her daughter Xiaodang moved a small stool and sat in the corner to eat.

"Hmph, what kind of noble man did this kid next door hook up with to the point that he got a job in a steel rolling mill? God is really blind. Is such a person worthy of working in a state-owned factory? He should be carrying heavy bags at the bus station or dock!" Jia Zhang was still cursing angrily while eating.

Jia Dongxu sighed and said, "Mom, you don't know, this Yang Chong has learned to hunt for some reason. He actually killed two big wild boars and sold them to the factory. Didn't the factory cafeteria always have trouble getting pork? Director Yang treats him like a treasure, otherwise how could he let him work in the factory?"

Jia Zhang said: "What kind of world is this? The leaders are such bad people. Why do they let anyone into the factory? They give a bicycle to a man who can catch a rabbit. My son is so capable, but they don't even give him a bicycle. These leaders are blind!"

At this time, Banggeng threw the chopsticks in his hand and said, "I don't want to eat steamed bread or radish. I want to eat meat!"

Jia Zhang said, "My dear grandson, if you want to eat meat, wait until your father gets his salary to buy it. Where can you eat meat now?"

Bang Geng said, "There is meat next door. I saw it just now. When the man named Yang from next door came back, he had a bag on his shoulder. The things inside were still moving. It must be rabbits or pheasants. They must have meat for dinner."

He wrinkled his nose and said, "Smell the meat. They must be stewing meat next door!"

Then he sat down on the ground and said, "I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat!"

Jia Zhang also sniffed hard and said, "It's true. This Yang wants to eat meat again!" She slammed the chopsticks in her hand on the table and said, "This person is too filthy. He stewed meat during dinner and it smelled so good. How can others eat?"

Jia Dongxu looked at Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu seemed to realize something. She lowered her head and ate radishes and steamed buns without even looking at them.

Jia Zhang coughed and said, "Qin Huairu, are you deaf? Didn't you hear your son say he wanted to eat meat? Why don't you think of a solution as a mother?"

Qin Huairu thought it was happening again, and lowered her head and said, "What can I do if I want to eat meat? Dongxu's salary is in your hands, and I don't have any money, so how can I buy meat?"

Jia Zhang said, "Money, money, money. You only know how to ask for money all day long. If Dongxu had money, he would have gone to buy meat by himself. What else do you need to do? Why don't you go to the next door to ask for some meat? Didn't you see what happened to Banggeng? Let me tell you, Banggeng is in the growth stage now, so he needs to eat more meat. If you delay the growth of my good grandson, I will not forgive you!"

Qin Huairu felt a headache and said, "Mom, your relationship with him has become so bad, and you have even had a fight with him. How can I go and ask him for the money?"

Jia Zhang said: "We are the ones who fought with him, and you are you. You didn't fight with them, so why can't you go and ask for it?"

Qin Huairu was speechless. Aren't you and I from the same family? You had a fight with someone, and they still looked at me in a good manner? How could I be so shameless as to ask them for meat to eat?

Besides, instead of saying you want to borrow my flesh, it would be better to just say you want my flesh. When have you ever seen me return it to you?

Seeing Qin Huairu not saying anything, Jia Zhang became anxious: "Qin Huairu, did you hear me? Banggeng wants to eat meat, go to the next door and borrow some! Do you want to get beaten by delaying?"

As he said this, he winked at Jia Dongxu. Jia Dongxu looked expressionless, but rolled up his sleeves.

This action was undoubtedly telling Qin Huairu that if she didn't go, don't blame me for taking action.

Qin Huairu's face twitched. She had no choice but to stand up, get a bowl from the kitchen, and walk out of the house.

Behind the back, Jia Zhang said to Banggeng, "Banggeng, be good and get up quickly. Your mother is going to get some meat for you. You will have meat to eat soon."

Banggeng immediately got up from the ground.

The people next door did indeed stir-fry meat. Yang Chong went into the kitchen himself and made a big pot of stir-fried rabbit meat with chili peppers. It was fragrant and spicy. The three of them ate so much that their noses were sweating, but they still refused to put down their chopsticks.

"Brother, the factory is so good to you. Not only did they let me work in the factory, but they also provided you with such a good bicycle. You don't know how much everyone in the factory is envious of them." Yu Xiu said excitedly while eating.

Yang Chong smiled and said, "I won't be using the bike anymore, so it will be yours from now on. You can ride it to work."

When Yu Xiu heard this, her eyes lit up: "Really?" Then she said embarrassedly: "But I don't know how to ride."

Bicycles are rare items these days. Yu Xiu had never seen a bicycle before, so how could she have the chance to learn how to ride one?

Yang Chong said, "You can learn if you don't know how to ride a bicycle. Why would you be afraid of not being able to learn if you have a bicycle?" Then he looked at Yang Xiaojuan and said, "Not only you, but also Xiaojuan. You also have to learn to ride a bicycle. When you get a job in the future, you should ride a bicycle to work."

"Really?" When Yang Xiaojuan and Yu Xiu heard this, their eyes lit up with joy and they couldn't hide their excitement.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Yang Xiaojuan put down her chopsticks and went to open the door.

As soon as she opened the door, her smile disappeared: "What are you doing?"

Chapter 41 I won't lend it to you even if I feed it to the dog

Although Yang Xiaojuan had only been in this family for a few days, she had already heard Yu Xiu talk about what had happened in the past. She knew that Qin Huairu was the wife of Jia Dongxu next door, and she also knew the relationship between the Jia family and her own family.

So when she opened the door and saw Qin Huairu, the smile on her face immediately disappeared and her tone became cold and unfriendly.

Yang Chong and Yu Xiu also put down their chopsticks and turned to look at Qin Huairu at the door.

Qin Huairu was so embarrassed that her face felt hot.

But there is no way, I'm already here, how can I go back without asking?

If I go back like this, I will definitely be beaten.

"Sister, Yang Chong, I, I..." Qin Huairu blushed and forced an awkward smile. She looked at the large bowl of tempting rabbit meat on the table and spoke with difficulty: "Yang Chong, Banggeng is asking for meat, can you...can you lend me some? Wait, wait...I'll pay you back after Dongxu gets his salary..."

The voice became smaller and smaller, and it was probably only she who could hear what she said afterwards.

No wonder, Jia Dongxu paid it back as soon as he got the salary, even she herself didn't believe it.

When has the Jia family ever returned something they borrowed? Jia Zhangshi said it well, I borrowed it based on my ability, why should I return it?

Yu Xiu naturally didn't believe that the Jia family would return the meat after borrowing it. Besides, even if they did, she wouldn't agree to it. So she immediately snorted, "No, I won't lend it to you even if I pour it out to feed the dogs!" She winked at Yang Xiaojuan.

Yang Xiaojuan was very cooperative and immediately said, "Did you hear that? My sister-in-law said she won't lend it to me! Humph! I've never seen such a shameless person who wants to bully us all day and still has the nerve to come to our house to borrow meat!"

Having said that, he slammed the door shut without caring that Qin Huairu was still standing there.

Fortunately, Qin Huairu stood outside the door and didn't dare to take a step inside.

Even so, the door panel was still close to the tip of his nose, almost hitting it.

Qin Huairu was so scared that she staggered and almost fell to the ground. Her face was burning with pain and she felt so ashamed.

Although she was not hit, those words hurt more than a slap in the face.

When Bang Geng got home, he saw that she came back empty-handed and immediately rolled on the ground: "Mom is useless, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat..."

Jia Dongxu also looked disappointed. He glared at her with disdain but didn't say anything.

Jia Zhang started to curse: "Qin Huairu, why don't you just die? You've been eating for free all day. I asked you to go out and borrow some meat, but you couldn't even get it back! You have the heart to watch my good grandson Banggeng not be able to eat meat!"

Qin Huairu lowered her head and said, "What can I do? When they saw that it was me, they refused to lend me the money and even slammed the door. I almost fell down."

Jia Zhang was furious: "How can this brat be so heartless? Our family is so poor that we don't even have money to buy meat for the children. Can't he give us some of his meat? Humph, why didn't he starve to death those days!"

Then he looked at Jia Dongxu and said, "Dongxu, it seems impossible to expect to get meat from this brat. How about you go find your master Yi Zhonghai?"

Jia Dongxu looked embarrassed: "Mom, didn't I just ask my master for five dollars two days ago? Is it inappropriate to ask for it again so soon?"

Jia Zhang said nonchalantly, "What's inappropriate about that? He's your master, and he has no children. He's counting on you to take care of him in his old age. Sooner or later, all his money will be yours. What's wrong with taking some out now to buy meat for Bang Geng?"

Jia Dongxu thought about it and put down his chopsticks: "Okay, then I'll go look for Master again."

Yi Zhonghai over there was also very depressed during this meal. Seeing that Yang Chong, whom he hated the most, was now living a prosperous life and getting better and better every day, he felt itchy in his heart as if he had eaten a fly.

It can be said that he now wishes to drive Yang Chong out of the yard, the farther the better. He doesn't want to see this guy who doesn't take him seriously for even a day.

But there was no way, Yang Chong’s house was private property and no one could drive him away.

This made Yi Zhonghai feel very upset.

The auntie was still trying to persuade him: "Old man, I'm telling you to stop being angry with Yang Chong. His child is actually quite good. He can endure hardships, is motivated, and is polite. There aren't many like him in the hospital..."

Yi Zhonghai glared at her and said, "Be polite? Have you forgotten how he embarrassed me in front of everyone?"

The aunt said, "Can you blame them for this? It's because you are unfair and insist on protecting the Jia family. Do they have to talk back to you? Well, you also know who Jia Dongxu's mother is. Why do you have to stand up for them?"

Yi Zhonghai said: "Why do you think I should do this? Aren't we counting on Dongxu to take care of us in our old age? Otherwise, I won't bother with this!"

An old lady said, "You are counting on Jia Dongxu to take care of you in your old age, but you never see him taking care of you. It is us who take care of them every day. Tell me, how much money and gifts have you given to this disciple? Is he the one who takes care of you or you take care of him?"

Yi Zhonghai had nothing to say. This Jia Dongxu was really not doing well in the factory. He had been working in the factory for several years and he couldn't even get a second-level fitter.

Even this first-level fitter was allowed to pass by the examiner out of respect for his own sake.

He is simply a useless person.

He is even more shameless at home. Not only is he as lazy and gluttonous as his mother, but he also beats his wife all day long and puts all the blame on her.

He only cares about eating delicious food all day long. With a monthly salary of 33 yuan, if it were someone else's family, the family would not have to worry about food and drink for a month, and there would be a surplus at the end of the month. But he is different. Not to mention a surplus, he always comes to borrow money from me before the end of the month.

And every time I borrow, I never return.

Because of this, I don’t know how many times my wife has been angry with me.

Yi Zhonghai felt depressed, so he simply put down his chopsticks, took out a cigarette and lit it.

Seeing this, an old lady muttered, "Smoke, smoke, smoke. When I talk about your good disciple, all you think about is smoking! Can smoking shut me up?"

Just as he was mumbling, Jia Dongxu's voice came from outside: "Master, Master's wife, have you eaten?"

When Yi Zhonghai heard this voice, he was overwhelmed.

The lady immediately said, "Speak of the devil, here comes the devil, he must be here to borrow money again, it's only been two days since I gave it to him and he's here again. I'm warning you, no matter what, you can't give it to me this time, if you give it to me again I'll be angry with you!"

Yi Zhonghai waved his hands irritably: "Alright, I get it, shut up and don't let anyone hear it."

Then he responded loudly: "It's Dongxu, come in, we are eating."

Jia Dongxu opened the curtain and walked in, looking at the food on the table: "Master and Master's wife are eating?"

The lady ignored him with a gloomy face. Yi Zhonghai hesitated for a moment, then said politely: "Yes, I am eating now. Dongxu, have you eaten yet? How about sitting down and eating together?"
