Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Su Zhongguo and Su Heping talked more and more with He Yuzhu. Su Heping and Su Zhongguo had never expected that He Yuzhu would be so knowledgeable. In addition, some of He Yuzhu's insights opened Su Zhongguo's eyes.

The whole table was divided into four distinct groups. Su Ying and sisters He Qing and He Lin were in one group, Lou Xiaoe and mother-in-law Wu Lina and Hu Qianyi were in one group, He Yuzhu and father and son Su Zhongguo and Su Heping were in one group, and the remaining group was brothers He Bing and He Yong. The other three groups were chatting animatedly, but the two brothers were the only ones staring at each other.

After dinner, He Yuzhu said, "He Bing, He Yong, you two drive Xiaoying and her family back home. Your mother, He Qing, He Lin and I will walk back by ourselves."

"Yes!" He Bing and He Yong responded in unison, stood up, and left the box. Su Zhongguo smiled and said, "My dear, you are too polite, aren't you?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "That's what I should do! Come to my house when you have time."

"Okay!" Su Zhongguo responded and took his family out of the box.

After sending the people to the car and watching the two cars drive away, Lou Xiaoe asked, "How is it? Are you satisfied with this in-law?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "I am quite satisfied! Everyone has a daughter. When a daughter gets married, the hardest thing is for the father. We just need to be considerate of each other."

Lou Xiao'e joked, "You seem like someone who has been through this before."

He Yuzhu looked at He Qing and He Lin standing beside them and said, "Our two girls are grown up now. I don't know which boy will get them."

He Qing hugged He Yuzhu's watch and said, "Dad! In order for you not to feel bad in the future, Linlin and I will not get married!"

He Yuzhu said firmly: "This won't do!"

He Lin said, "Why not?! At most, we can have a relationship but not get married. If we have a child, we can kill the father and keep the child. Anyway, we are implementing family planning now and we are not allowed to have more children."

He Yuzhu tilted his head to look at his two daughters and asked, "Who taught you this?!"

"Do I need to teach you this?!" After saying that, He Qing pulled He Lin away.

He Yuzhu looked at the backs of the two girls and said, "How could these two children be like this?!"

Lou Xiao'e asked back: "Why can't it be like this?! I think it's good for them to do this! Why didn't I think of killing the father and keeping the son?!"

He Yuzhu gave Lou Xiaoe a cold look and said, "It's too late for you to get rid of the father and save the son now!" After that, He Yuzhu held Lou Xiaoe's hand and left with Lou Xiaoe.

"Uncle, where are you going?!" When he was almost near his home, He Yuzhu saw Yan Bugui and greeted him with a smile.

Yan Bugui sighed and said, "Where else can I go?! To see Jie Di. This girl divorced her husband and didn't even tell her family. Now Jiefang knows about it. He asked me to go see her. If not, bring her back to stay for two days."

He Yuzhu said, "Third Uncle, why did I hear that Jie Di didn't get divorced? It seems like her man left her and ran off with someone else."

"What?!" Yan Bugui was shocked and said in a trembling voice: "Zhu Zi, you can't joke with your uncle about this matter!"

He Yuzhu replied, "You can joke about other things, but can you joke about this? Uncle, listen to my advice. No matter who was right or wrong back then, it's time for you to calm down. Besides, Li Di has had a hard time these past few years. Her mother-in-law is a piece of shit. She has been bullying her just because she doesn't have a family."

Yan Bugui asked: "Doesn't Yan Jiekuang care about her?!"

He Yuzhu asked back, "Uncle San, how long has it been since you last saw Yan Jiekuang?!"

Yan Bugui frowned and thought for a while, then replied, "It's been a while!"

He Yuzhu said, "Yan Jiekuang has not appeared since Yan Jiedi got married. Since Jiefang recognizes Jiedi as his sister, I think you should go back and ask Jiefang to go to Jiedi's in-laws' house together. Otherwise, with your physique, it may not be easy to bring Jiedi back."

Yan Bugui thought for a moment and said, "I'll go and ask Jiefang to go with me!"

Looking at Yan Bugui's back, Lou Xiao'e asked, "Zhu Zi, what's going on with their family?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "What else could it be?!" Then He Yuzhu told Lou Xiao'e about Yan Bugui's family. After listening to He Yuzhu's narration, Lou Xiao'e said, "This old man is really weird."

He Yuzhu said: "It turns out that there are many strange people living in No. 95 Nanluoguxiang!"

He Qing asked: "Dad, besides the two families of the second and third uncles, which other families are there?!"

"Let's go! Let's go back and I'll tell you slowly!" After saying that, He Yuzhu took his wife and two daughters and walked home.

After returning home, He Yuzhu made a cup of tea for himself and Lou Xiaoe, and a cup of Lekoufu for each of the two daughters. He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe sat on the Luohan bed, and He Qing and He Lin each moved an armchair and sat down opposite He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe. He Yuzhu took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and talked about the past of the Siheyuan with Lou Xiaoe and the two children.

At the same time, Yan Bugui returned home. The third aunt saw Yan Bugui suddenly come back and asked, "Old Yan, have you visited Jie Di? How is she?!"

Yan Jiefang, who was reading in the room, heard the noise and came out. Yan Bugui said, "Jiefang, put on your clothes and come with me to Jie Di's place."

Yan Jiefang was slightly stunned and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?!"

Yan Bugui said, "Jie Di didn't divorce her husband at all. Her husband left her and ran off with another woman." Then Yan Bugui told his wife and son what He Yuzhu had told him. Yan Jiefang took the clothes Qin Jingru handed over, put them on quickly, unlocked the motorcycle, and said, "Dad! Let's go!"

More than 20 minutes later, Yan Jiefang, under the guidance of Yan Bugui, arrived at the gate of a courtyard. Yan Jiefang had just parked the car when an old man saw Yan Bugui looking into the yard and asked, "Old comrade, who are you looking for?!"

Yan Bugui asked, "Does Yan Jiedi live in this courtyard?!"

"Yan Jie Di?!" the old man muttered. The old woman next to him said, "She is You Lao Qi's wife who ran away with someone else." Then the old woman looked at Yan Bugui and Yan Jiefang and asked, "Who are you?!"

Yan Bugui replied: "I am her father, and the man next to her is her brother."

The old man said, "She lives in the east wing of the middle courtyard."

"Thank you!" Yan Bugui thanked him and walked into the yard with Yan Jiefang. As soon as Yan Bugui and his son walked to the gate of the middle courtyard, they heard the sound of quarreling from inside. An old woman with a fat head and big ears, whose body shape was no worse than Jia Zhangshi, was cursing at the east wing. The curse was as ugly as it could be. And up to now, no sentence was repeated.

Yan Jiefang was furious when he heard this. He didn't hold back the fire immediately. He rushed behind the old woman and kicked her hard.

"Ouch!" The old woman was kicked and fell to the ground unexpectedly. The neighbors who were watching the scene were stunned. After a while, the old woman got up from the ground, looked at Yan Jiefang, and yelled: "Little bastard! Who are you?! What right do you have to hit someone?!"
