Siheyuan: abandoning moral qualities and enjoying an immoral life

"Uncle, don't you think this is the truth?!"

"The old lady passed away at such an old age, and she still had to compete with people who had died in their 30s, 40s, and 50s. Could she win?

So I say you should prepare a grave for the old lady as soon as possible, this is the best way to show respect to her!"

Yi Zhonghai: “This…”

"Uncle, please don't say anything. I guess you want to say that burning money is something that only other people do. How can you burn money on yourself?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded subconsciously.

"Hey, uncle, you are so confused!"

Yi Zhonghai: Why am I confused again? You've already scolded me three times in just a short while!

"It's fine if it's someone else, his sons and grandsons might burn paper for him in the future, but it's just a possibility, it's impossible.

Let me ask you honestly, how many times have you burned paper for your parents in all these years?"

Yi Zhonghai's face was gloomy and he was speechless. In the early years of war, he didn't even know where his father was buried. Where did you want him to be burned?

"Also, the key is, does the deaf old lady have any descendants? No, not a single one! Who can she count on to burn paper for her after she dies?"

"Uncle, can you imagine how the deaf old lady, who is over 80 years old, feels when she has no money or house and has to compete with young people for incense and food with her old bones?

Oh, it’s miserable just thinking about it! "

"So, uncle, let me say something from the bottom of my heart:

If we count the days of a man's life on earth, he has only thirty-six thousand days;

A family may have thousands of houses, but only three feet of space is needed for sleeping;

No matter how well the house is built, it is only a temporary residence. Only that little box is your permanent home!"

Chapter 22 Xu Damao's Decision

After tricking Yi Zhonghai into leaving, Wang Hongtao wiped the sweat from his forehead: Damn it, it’s a good thing I’ve seen Teacher Zhao’s skits, otherwise I would really have to fall out with this old Deng.

Although I am not afraid, but how can a falling out be as interesting as being the sixth brother? Only when the contrast is enough, there will be more perspective points, right?

Now Wang Hongtao is like fertilizing leeks, waiting for the right time to harvest a big harvest.

……

Yi Zhonghai was confused for a long time after leaving.

Why did we have to crack down on feudal superstition at that time?

It’s because ordinary people believe in that.

The older generation, including Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady, are among the best.

Besides, is it true that all Yi Zhonghai needs is someone to take care of the elderly?

Not really. Just think about it and you will understand. He has saved so much money over the years, and he is a worker in the eighth-level pliers factory who provides medical care and funeral services for his family. Many people are eager to support him in his old age.

What he actually lacks is someone who is willing to see him off to the end, and wear mourning clothes and burn paper money after he dies!

It was these two points that restricted the partner he looked for to being filial and obedient, because only such a person would not change his attitude after his death.

So with excitement in his heart, Yi Zhonghai went to see the deaf old lady again.

"Xiao Yi is here. How is the matter going? What did Xiao Wang say?"

"Madam, I haven't borrowed the house yet, but there is something I want to ask for your advice on."

As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai simply repeated what Wang Hongtao had said.

"Buy a grave early? Burn paper money for yourself?"

The deaf old lady was also frightened and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

The deaf old lady doesn't have as many thoughts as Yi Zhonghai.

Just like Yi Zhonghai said, she is already over 80 years old. Even if she can live again, how many years can she live? She has long passed the stage of fighting for power and profit.

Although Wang Hongtao's words were a bit harsh, his logic was correct.

You never know when you will leave, so who can you expect to burn paper money for you?

Yi Zhonghai?

She and Yi Zhonghai complemented and used each other. After her death, it was considered good enough that Yi Zhonghai could come to see her once.

Silly column?

That silly boy really thinks of himself as a grandmother, but how many years can Sha Zhu, who is so careless in his actions, remember?

Is it really like what that kid said, that at my age I'd still have to compete with others for incense?

The deaf old lady didn't dare to think about it.

She could naturally see that Wang Hongtao was just making excuses, and that Wang Hongtao was definitely not as honest as he appeared to be. This man was actually no less capable than herself.

What else could she do? Would she really break up with him? What good would that do to her?

It is said that people become more cunning as they grow older. The reason why the deaf old lady has survived to this day is definitely not because of her bravery or cleverness, but because she is timid and has good judgment. She will never provoke people whom she cannot understand or control.

Those who love to show off and refuse to admit defeat have all died long ago!

It is natural that the deaf old lady would not make such a superficial mistake in her old age.

"Xiao Yi, I think what Xiao Wang said makes sense. We are both in the same boat, both of us have no descendants. Why don't we just do as he says and choose a good Feng Shui for me?"

The deaf old lady smiled and spoke kindly.

"What about the house???"

"House? What house?"

"Xiao Wang fought for the house himself, so he should live in it. If you listen to your wife, you should stay out of his business."

"Madam, what do you mean..."

Yi Zhonghai was about to ask more, but the deaf old lady waved her hand and signaled him to leave:

"Okay, that's it, ma'am. I'm old and tired."

"You should also go back and rest early. Remember to find me a good place with good feng shui and a good coffin. Madam, I am afraid of being crowded and being burned by fire."

……

Yi Zhonghai walked away with a frown on his face, full of questions.

He had no idea what Wang Hongtao's attitude towards him was, but one thing was certain: this young man was definitely not as simple as he seemed.

What he said just now not only gave up her intention of borrowing the house, but also made her owe him a favor.

Although Wang Hongtao only said at that time that the deaf old lady was a childless person with no descendants, Yi Zhonghai knew that he was also saying this to himself.

He secretly reminded me that I was a family without a son, but I still have to thank him?

This is really unique!

Yi Zhonghai smiled self-deprecatingly: This time, someone who understands has come to Courtyard No. 95!

However, Yi Zhonghai is different from the deaf old lady in one respect. The deaf old lady has lost the desire to be competitive due to her old age, but Yi Zhonghai is different. If Wang Hongtao affects his authority in the compound, he will not give up.

He didn't believe that with his status as an uncle and a level 8 worker, he couldn't control such a young man!

……

At this time, Xu Damao was still waiting stubbornly at the gate of the courtyard. He had been waiting there for half an hour. Although the weather was comfortable in September, mosquitoes were still rampant, which made Xu Damao very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. Xu Damao finally saw Qin Jingru walking out of Jia's house and heading towards the door.

Xu Damao also pretended to have just returned from outside and stopped Qin Jingru:

"Hey girl, where are you from? Why do you look so unfamiliar?"

Qin Jingru had just come from the countryside and was very honest: "Oh, my name is Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu's cousin. I came to the city to find her."

"Cousin Qin Huairu?" Xu Damao said as he looked at Qin Jingru. He saw that she had a slender figure and delicate face. Although she was still a little immature, it could be seen that she was indeed a beauty. It seemed that the string of dried mushrooms was not wasted.

"They do look alike. Why did you look for your cousin?"

"I...I was on a blind date with He Yuzhu from your courtyard." Qin Jingru was a little shy, but she didn't lie after all.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

"He Yuzhu? Who is He Yuzhu? Is there such a person in our hospital?" Xu Damao pretended to think carefully:

"Oh, by the way, so you were talking about Sha Zhu! I'm so used to calling him Sha Zhu that I suddenly forgot his real name."

"Why do you have to choose Sha Zhu when there are so many people you can choose from? Oh, I don't know what to say!"

"What's wrong, brother? Is there anything wrong with Shazhu?" Qin Jingru asked anxiously.

"What's wrong with that? There are so many things! Come closer with me and listen to me slowly."

Xu Damao took Qin Jingru to a secluded place and said, "First of all, he looks old. Since this is a blind date, you must have met him before, right? Does he look old?"

Qin Jingru nodded honestly.

"That's right. You said you were a little girl marrying a fool. Those who know you know you are his wife, but those who don't think he is your father!"

"Shazhu is 25 this year, but he looks the same age as the third uncle in the front yard, but the third uncle is already over 40 this year!"

"It's okay that he just looks old, but this idiot Zhu is also unhygienic. He only washes his clothes a few times a year. I don't even want to stand next to him." As he said this, Xu Damao fanned his nose in disgust.

Qin Jingru lowered her head embarrassedly.

Seeing this, Xu Damao struck while the iron was hot: "Besides, this guy's character is questionable. Did you know that he has a father named He Daqing?"

"Yes, he said he was working in another place and hasn't been back for more than ten years."

"Bah! He's working in another place? He's obviously running away with a widow. Don't bother with Shazhu and his brother! Shazhu is a man who always covets other people's wives!"

"Let's not talk about things far away, let's just talk about our courtyard. Your cousin, the daughter-in-law of the third uncle in the front courtyard, Yu Li, and my wife Lou Xiao'e, that bastard Sha Zhu has set his sights on all of them. What a shameless man!"

Qin Jingru was really scared when she said this. Recalling the look Sha Zhu had given her cousin before, Qin Jingru was sure that Sha Zhu was that kind of person.

"Thank you for reminding me, brother. If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known about this."

"By the way, what's your name, brother?"

"My name is Yan... My name is Xu Damao, but you can't tell anyone what I told you tonight, especially your sister and Sha Zhu, otherwise they will not let me off!" At first Xu Damao wanted to say that he was Yan Jiecheng, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. They were from the same courtyard, so who wouldn't know who?

"I just thought you were pretty, and I couldn't bear to see you fall into the fire."

Xu Damao achieved his goal and started to talk nonsense again: "By the way, sister Jingru, you just came to the city and haven't had a good time yet, right? How about Brother Xu take you around the city tomorrow? Take you to a good meal and buy you some new clothes?"

Qin Jingru felt strangely familiar after hearing what Xu Damao said. That's right, Wang Hongtao did the same thing! He said his son Ah Huang could do a backflip, and asked if she wanted to see it. The result was...

So Qin Jingru became wary of Xu Damao:

"Let's talk later, Brother Xu. I need to go to the bathroom now. We can talk later..."

With that, Qin Jingru walked past Xu Damao and ran out.

Chapter 23 Qin Jingru is not interested in Shazhu

Qin Jingru slept at the Jia family that night. She, her cousin and Xiaodang slept on the small bed, while Jia Dongxu, Banggeng and Jia Zhang slept on the big bed.

Considering the food Qin Jingru brought, the Jia family did not cause any trouble.

After coaxing Xiaodang to sleep, Qin Huairu asked Qin Jingru in a low voice:

"Jingru, what do you think of Shazhu? Tell me the truth. Let me tell you whether he is a good person or a bad person."

"Sister, you are cheating me, aren't you? How could you introduce me to Sha Zhu? He looks old and sloppy. What do you think happened to him after you left yesterday?"

"He actually turned around and spit and wiped his hair! I'm so sick! I don't want to marry such a disgusting person!"

Qin Jingru didn't have a good impression of He Yuzhu in the first place, and after hearing what Xu Damao said, she disliked He Yuzhu even more.

But she was smart and didn't tell anyone that Sha Zhu was coveting someone else's wife.

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and rubbed Qin Jingru's head: "You are a country girl but you have high standards. You don't even like Sha Zhu. Who do you want to find? I tell you, in our courtyard, Sha Zhu's conditions are the best."
