Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

"Yeah, it's settled." Sha Zhu looked up at her, then continued cleaning the chicken.

"Your wife's name is Li Ying. She's older than you. Call her Sister Yingzi when you see her, okay?"

"You'll see Jianguo's wife when he comes over later..."

Sha Zhu was still talking when the door slammed shut behind him.

Looking back, there was the door that Yi Zhonghai had kicked but hadn't broken.

Creak~

It tilted outwards at the top, creaking and swaying back and forth.

"Hey, what a spendthrift."

Sha Zhu laughed and cursed, then put down the kitchen knife in his hand.

I used to get angry just looking at the door, thinking, "That Yi Zhonghai is really a piece of trash."

First, hook the door shut with a rope, then Sha Zhu continued preparing dinner.

A short while later, Yang Jianguo arrived with Yingzi.

He was carrying a jar, which contained the same grain liquor as last time.

Don't underestimate this wine; everyone who's tried it says it's great.

"Jianguo, Yingzi, please sit down. My chicken stew will be ready soon."

Sha Zhu was holding the basin, kneading the dough!

"Zhu Zi, what can I do for you?"

Li Ying felt embarrassed to just sit and wait, so she rolled up her sleeves to offer her help.

Sha Zhu grinned: "You can help me eat later, haha..."

After hearing his explanation, Li Ying stopped insisting.

Smiling, he let Jianguo pull him to sit down and asked curiously, "Didn't we just see your sister Yushui come back? Where is she?"

“She’s in her room, child. I’ll call her over.”

With all the guests arrived, she started acting all high and mighty inside the house.

"Rain, Rain, Jianguo and his wife are here, come quickly."

“…Oh!” He Yushui reluctantly agreed.

Inside the house, she was lying on her kang (a heated brick bed) tearing off pieces of paper.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh... why did it have to end like this?"

Chapter 116 Wife, are you pregnant?

He Yushui eventually came over.

I changed into a new outfit and dressed myself up smartly.

These days, ordinary families don't have cosmetics or the like.

A clam oil or a face cream would be the best you could do.

So, make sure you're clean and dressed smartly.

That counts as dressing up.

"Brother Jianguo."

Sitting at the round table, He Yushui's gaze towards him was rather strange.

We've all been through this, how could we not understand!

Li Ying had vaguely realized it when she greeted her earlier.

When her identity was mentioned, He Yushui became absent-minded, and there was hostility hidden in her eyes.

Yingzi is keeping a close eye on everything!

Moreover, alarm bells were ringing loudly in her mind.

It's like a voice in my head is shouting, "This is a love rival, this is a love rival..."

A woman's sixth sense is mysterious and completely illogical.

Yet it truly exists.

Absolutely amazing!

So, just look at He Yushui's expression now.

Li Ying reached out and took her husband's arm, as if to assert her dominance.

No matter how unassertive a woman may be, she will not back down on this matter.

If a normal woman gave in, she must have something seriously wrong with her brain.

Unless, there's some special reason behind it.

Otherwise, what woman would willingly give up her man?

In the past, there was so much intrigue and backstabbing in those deep mansions.

They caused a huge scene, and were ruthless and vicious.

In the end, he turned himself into something neither human nor ghost.

Isn't that what it's all about?

Given the prevailing circumstances at the time, very few families could live in peace and tranquility.

Not to mention, in this day and age, new ideas are being promoted everywhere.

Sensing Yingzi's nervousness, Yang Jianguo placed his hand on the back of her hand and patted it gently.

He stood up, looked at Yingzi, and smiled, "I'll go see how Zhuzi's preparations are going. You two chat."

As soon as Yang Jianguo left his seat, He Yushui's gaze followed him away.

Yingzi understood and said, "Yushui, your clothes are really nice, where did you buy them?"

Her shout startled He Yushui, who was preoccupied with her own thoughts, and she turned around in a panic.

With an awkward smile, he pulled up the corner of his shirt to show her: "This isn't worth much. My brother took me to buy it at the Dong'an Market."

Before the opening of Wangfujing Department Store, Dong'an Market was the most bustling market.

On Sundays, it's packed with people, one foot after another.

You can't even squeeze through a crack like a fly; the counter is so crowded it could break every now and then.

It looks just like the Wangfujing Department Store today, with rows of iron poles in front of the shoe and hat counters.

This is to prevent the counters from being overcrowded during holidays and weekends.

Although Wangfujing stole some of the customers, the Dong'an Market is still developing quite smoothly.

After all, no one can go to the department store every day.

No matter how much money you have, you can't collect that many tickets.

Therefore, business at Dong'an Market is doing quite well these days.

Wangfujing has taken away the high-end goods and the customers who consume them.

"That's great! When are you free? Let's go to Dong'an for a stroll!"

Yingzi's enthusiasm left He Yushui speechless.

Ultimately, she's just a young girl in school.

She really couldn't outmaneuver Yingzi...

With just a few words, she was charmed and started calling him "Sister Yingzi" over and over again.

She treated him even better than her own brother.

"Hey~ We didn't even know each other a moment ago, and now you're all snuggled up to me." Sha Zhu brought the dishes to the table.

He Yushui, sitting up straight next to Yingzi, complained, "You don't understand a girl's thoughts."

"Yes, I don't understand, only you do." Sha Zhu laughed and scolded, "Hurry up and get the chopsticks."

He Yushui wasn't annoyed at all, and happily ran to the stove to get chopsticks.

He ran right into Yang Jianguo, and his smile immediately faded, replaced by a slight awkwardness.

She now understood that the man was already married and belonged to someone else.

No matter how unwilling I am, it's impossible for me in this lifetime.

Ultimately, He Yushui didn't have Qin Jingru's kind of thoughts.

If it were her, she would be able to get involved with someone like Yang Jianguo.

She might actually develop the idea of ​​breaking up his marriage so that she could get married herself.

That girl was just like Qin Huairu before.

They're no pushovers either!

"Brother Jianguo, congratulations on your marriage."

Suppressing her unrealistic thoughts, He Yushui congratulated him.

Although, there was still a bit of reluctance involved.

But he finally figured it out and has a clear idea in his mind, which is a good sign.

Yang Jianguo nodded and smiled, "Thank you, I'll get you some wedding candy later."

We still have those milk candies and melon seeds from before!

Give her a handful, consider it a supplement.

After all, he congratulated himself, didn't he?

"Ah."

As they passed each other, He Yushui couldn't help but sigh.

I can only blame myself for being born too late!

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been an outsider's turn.

However, Rainwater is also quite ambitious!

If you miss it, you miss it.

Once I graduate, I'm sure I'll be able to find a good one.

He's not much worse than Yang Jianguo.

"However, he seems to be doing quite well these days," He Yushui wondered.

Why do Yang Jianguo and my silly brother look so different since I came back?

Is there anything I don't know?

Once everyone was seated, Yang Jianguo opened the jar.

"Wow, what is this? It smells so good!" He Yushui's nose is quite sensitive; she immediately smelled the aroma.

"The rice wine is homemade by the villagers."

Upon hearing that it was rice wine, He Yushui insisted on drinking it too.

Yang Jianguo turned to look at Sha Zhu.

This is his sister's business; he's the one who calls the shots.

Sha Zhu nodded and said, "Jianguo, give her a cup."

"Just one cup!" Sha Zhu specifically instructed that he shouldn't drink more.

Although this rice wine has a low alcohol content, it has a strong aftereffect.
