The Beginning of a Courtyard House: Sixty Years of Internal Strength

Sha Zhu, however, spoke with self-righteousness.

"I'm just giving you my ration book, what's it to you?"

"But you have to eat my ration every day."

How can my child's ration be enough for both of us?

"He Yushui! Your brother works hard every day to support you. Are you going to hold this against me?"

"How come you're the one supporting me?"

My dad left so much child support money back then, wasn't it all for raising me?

If you don't get your grain ration book back...

I'll go to the prison to see Dad in the next couple of days and talk to him about this."

Upon hearing He Daqing's name, He Yuzhu immediately softened.

"If I use this rainwater, I'll go to the black market and buy some expensive grain."

You definitely won't go hungry, okay?

"Fine, He Yuzhu, you'd better keep your word."

He Yushui stormed back into the house.

Because the two people arguing in the east wing were making too much noise.

The entire intermediate court heard it clearly.

"Mom, I'm going to Zhuzi's house to comfort him."

"It wouldn't be good if we had to ask for the ration book back because of this."

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi, her face full of fierceness, uttered a curse.

"Why should this childless family give us the grain ration book? Sha Zhu promised to give it to us."

He wants to go back? No way!

Jia Zhangshi tried to cause trouble again.

Jia Dongxu quickly agreed.

"Huai Ru, go ahead, make sure the ration isn't short."

After the two agreed, Qin Huairu entered the He family home.

Upon entering, she saw He Yuzhu sitting angrily at the table.

Quickly comfort them.

"Zhu Zi, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect to cause you so much trouble."

"Sister Qin, it's nothing, it's just that the rainwater is being so unreasonable."

She doesn't understand our relationship, that's why she's so angry.

"Zhu Zi, Sister Qin has no choice."

Dongxu and my mother-in-law kept pressuring me to come over.

I don't want to make things difficult for you.

Actually, I've always liked you, Pillar.

Hearing Qin Huairu's words, He Yuzhu was moved to tears.

He hugged Qin Huairu tightly.

Qin Huairu also wrapped her arms around He Yuzhu's waist.

"Zhu Zi, Sister Qin will never be able to stay with you forever in this life."

If there is a next life, I will definitely marry you.

"Sister Qin, don't worry, even if it's for this lifetime."

I will protect you well.

After hearing Qin Huairu's confession, He Yuzhu hugged her even tighter.

Qin Huairu gently patted him twice.

"Zhu Zi, be gentle, I'm pregnant."

Don't hug me so tightly.

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu quickly released his grip.

"Sister Qin, I'm so sorry."

"Silly Zhuzi, what's there to be embarrassed about?"

Alright, Pillar, you should get some rest.

I've been here a bit too long; I need to go home.

Wait for me in the cellar tonight. Let's meet there.

"Sister Qin, are you pregnant?"

"Silly Zhuzi, I could feel the change in you the moment you hugged me."

There are other methods besides that.

As she spoke, Qin Huairu leaned in and kissed He Yuzhu.

Then she went home to cook for Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi.

As usual, I took some sleeping pills.

"Sigh, Brother Jianguo, it seems that Shazhu has really been fooled."

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe Qin Huairu really does have a bit of a crush on Sha Zhu."

Look at how those two are behaving.

This means Qin Huairu has been largely persuaded by Sha Zhu.

"What do you mean, 'sleeping with someone'? Brother Jianguo, you're really rude."

"Haha, ignore them."

Let's go, let's do something we love to do.

That night, after Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu fell asleep.

Qin Huairu went straight to the cellar.

Sha Zhu was already waiting inside.

Today, Qin Huairu opened the door to a new world for him.

In the following months, He Yuzhu indeed kept his promise.

He often ran to the black market at night to buy food.

He used his salary to buy some food.

He Yushui has been able to eat her fill and hasn't gone hungry recently.

However, Yan Jiecheng's plan backfired.

Because he had too little money, his brothers didn't listen to him at all.

He wouldn't take the empty promises, and his two brothers were thoroughly annoyed by him.

Yan Jiekuang even sold him outright.

He reported Yan Jiecheng's bribery to Yan Bugui.

As a result, Yan Jiecheng was placed under even tighter surveillance.

Now they won't even let him into his own home.

Every day at mealtime.

He took them all.

Go back to your own room to eat.

Li Jianguo and Yao Yao frequently visit the space.

They live their carefree lives, practicing their skills and cooking delicious food in their spare time.

Drinking wine and brewing tea, life is truly wonderful.

It seems that eliminating this scourge of retirement groups was truly a brilliant and heroic move.

Yao Yao's dual cultivation method is becoming increasingly sophisticated.

Li Jianguo was very satisfied, and the cooperation between the two became better and better.

Li Jianguo didn't even need to say a word; he only needed to give a look.

Yao Yao knew exactly what kind of knowledge to switch to.

Chen Xueru, on the other hand, was much less capable, since she had never practiced cultivation.

He couldn't keep up with Li Jianguo's pace at all and often fainted halfway through.

It left him in an awkward position.

Li Jianguo was also a little disappointed, wondering when he could arrange a sister for her.

Xu Huizhen is out of the question; she's not to his liking.

The carefree days passed quickly and lasted until the New Year.

It was time for the couple to face another test, after all, they hadn't had a child after so many years of marriage.

On their way to their parents' house.

"Yaoyao, let's just say it today."

I told them I had some health issues and was taking traditional Chinese medicine to treat them.

Yao Yao looked at Li Jianguo with concern.

"Brother Jianguo, is this really okay? Or is it my fault?"

"Don't worry, I'll explain it to them."

home.

His mother treated him with utter contempt.

"Jianguo, look at your brother's child? He's almost three years old."

Li Jianguo explained directly.

"We both went for a check-up, and I have a minor health issue."

People said the activity was weak, so I got some traditional Chinese medicine, and I'm taking it to regulate my body.

"What do you mean, 'establish a nation'? Do you have a problem with that?"

When did you go see it?

"There's no need to make such a fuss."

I saw it a couple of years ago, and I'm currently taking traditional Chinese medicine to regulate my body.

Don't worry.

"Jianguo, how could you keep such a big matter from us?"

"Sigh, I thought I could just take a casual look."

I didn't expect it to take so long to get better.

However, the doctor said there is still a chance of getting pregnant.

Although the chances are slim.

"Okay, as long as there's a chance, that's fine."

If you really don't even have a child.

That would really give me, your mom, a real headache.

"Don't worry, Mom, I will keep taking my medicine."

Li Jianguo scratched his head sheepishly.

"Alright, don't leave today, just stay and eat here."

There are still a few days until the Chinese New Year, and you haven't had a meal together at home in a long time.

We won't talk about the children anymore.

My dad suddenly spoke up.

"Alright, Dad."

The family then had a nice meal at the Li family's house.

After finishing their meal, Li Jianguo and Yao Yao left together.
