Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Seeing Jia Zhang and especially Qin Huairu crying so sadly, Sha Zhu felt guilty for no reason.

I just promised Brother Dongxu, I can’t go back on my word, right?

So Sha Zhu blurted out: "Aunt Zhang and Sister Qin, stop crying. Even if Brother Dongxu is gone, don't you still have me?"

"As long as I am here in the Jia family, the sky will not fall!"

Jia Zhang's crying stopped with a "ga".

"What do you mean, Shazhu? Do you want to marry into our Jia family?"

The Jia family suddenly lost their man. If Sha Zhu is willing to marry into the family, Jia Zhang will definitely not have any objection!

Not to mention that she is a mother-in-law, she would not object even if her own daughter could find someone like Sha Zhu.

But if Jia Zhang is happy, Sha Zhu will definitely not be happy!

It was barely acceptable for him to marry Qin Huairu, but it was out of the question for him to marry into the family!

These days, we only hear of women from the countryside marrying into city families because they can't make a living there. How could a city guy marry into a widow's family?

If I marry into the Jia family, what will the neighbors think of me?

How do your fellow chefs see you?

What do his arch-enemies Xu Damao and Wang Hongtao think of him?

Will it hurt the widows who are having a good time with me?

Forget it. I’m not as happy as the widow. I’ll withdraw this post.

But even so, it won’t work, absolutely not!

"Aunt Zhang, you misunderstood me. Brother Dongxu just told me to take good care of you and Sister Qin, but he didn't ask me to marry into your Jia family."

"I am the only male in our He family, and they are counting on me to carry on the family line!"

Jia Zhang spat and said, "Let me tell you, silly Zhu, our Huairu is a good girl. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again!"

"I know Sister Qin is a good girl, but I really don't have this idea. I just want to help and take care of your Jia family as Brother Dongxu asked me to do."

"Okay, you, Shazhu, admitted that you have no feelings for Qin Huairu. The three gentlemen are all listening here!"

"I….."

Sha Zhu found himself being tricked by Jia Zhang.

He only said that he would not marry into the wife's family, but he didn't say anything about the idea!

"Okay, everyone, shut up. Dongxu is still lying in there and you are just arguing outside. What's the matter?"

"Old Yan, go contact the funeral home."

"Old Liu, go inform the factory."

"You are responsible for preparing the feast for Zhuzi Jia's family. It doesn't have to be too good, but it can't be too bad either."

"My sister-in-law, Qin Huairu and I will help with the aftermath."

……

It was a period of major construction and conditions were difficult, so Jia Dongxu's case was completed in two days.

Uncle Yi Zhonghai chose cremation in response to the country's call.

The body was taken back from the hospital, then sent to the funeral home for cremation, and finally sent to the mountain for burial.

After a complete set of "receiving, transforming and developing", the once lively Jia Dongxu was left with only a black and white photo hanging on the wall of the Jia family.

Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu were the most active in Jia Dongxu's funeral, while other people in the courtyard tried to avoid it whenever possible.

After all, Jia Dongxu had met with an accident at a young age, and it was a sudden death, so everyone was afraid of being contaminated by bad luck.

Especially since the older generation knew that Jia Dongxu also died a violent death, no one was willing to get involved in Jia Dongxu's funeral.

Although feudal superstition should be combated, it is indeed strange that two consecutive generations of the Jia family died in their early thirties, and the neighbors all keep it a secret.

Sometimes this kind of strange metaphysics really makes sense, and people have to believe it even if they don't want to.

Yi Zhonghai was probably so active out of helplessness. As Jia Dongxu's master and the boss of the hospital, he had to step forward and take the lead after Jia Dongxu's death.

As for Sha Zhu, it’s hard to explain.

This guy is an indestructible cockroach. In just a few days, he was first beaten up by Liu Haizhong's family, and then was thrown by Liu Yuhua and his face was bruised and swollen.

But this guy's recovery ability is ridiculous, and he recovered in just a few days.

He followed Yi Zhonghai around, busying himself with preparing for the banquet in the courtyard. His shadow could be seen everywhere, and even the soil was dug by him on the day of the burial. He was simply unparalleled!

Maybe it's because people are in high spirits when good things happen, the happiest person after Jia Dongxu passed away was Sha Zhu, so he had a lot of energy but nowhere to vent it.

Wang Hongtao did not attend the Jia family's banquet, but he did give two cents as a gift, just as a token of his spending.

During these two days, besides the unreasonably active Sha Zhu, the person who impressed Wang Hongtao the most was Qin Huairu.

I clearly remember the day when Jia Dongxu died. When Wang Hongtao returned to the courtyard, he saw Qin Huairu wearing mourning clothes, sitting at Jia's house and crying secretly.

Her plump figure couldn't even be hidden by the loose mourning clothes.

My pitiful expression coupled with my pure white clothes really gives me a special feeling.

After all, you want to look elegant in filial piety.

Xiaodang, who was only three or four years old, still didn't understand anything and sat obediently in Qin Huairu's arms.

Banggeng, on the other hand, was dressed in white, holding a feather duster and chasing after other children of his age:

"Well... I am Bai Wuchang, I am here to catch you. Are you afraid..."

After Qin Jingru failed to control him several times, she became too lazy to care about him anymore.

Xu Damao couldn't help but praise him when he saw it: "Banggeng has been smart since he was young. Most people would never think of this trick!"

Wang Hongtao also agreed: "Yes, although Banggeng is a little naughty, he is indeed a filial child."

After praising the joke, Wang Hongtao noticed that Qin Jingru had been winking at him, so he walked over.

"Brother Tao, you haven't looked for me for several days! I...I miss you!"

"Miss me? Why don't I believe it?" Wang Hongtao curled his lips.

Qin Jingru is not as selfless as Lou Xiao'e, so Wang Hongtao has not taken the initiative to look for her these days, wanting to leave her alone for now.

Sure enough, after just a few days, Qin Jingru couldn't help it anymore.

Qin Jingru said awkwardly:

“Really?”

"Because now that my brother-in-law's funeral is over, my sister wants to drive me back to Qinjiatun."

"I…I don't want to go back. I want to stay in the city."

Qin Jingru looked at Wang Hongtao and said carefully.

"Oh, you came to find me because you had no other choice?"

"No...it's not like that. My sister forced me to marry Sha Zhu, otherwise she would send me back!"

"I don't want to marry Shazhu or anyone else, I just want to serve you!"

After saying that, Qin Jingru raised her head and looked at Wang Hongtao steadily.

Wang Hongtao felt distressed when he saw Qin Jingru, whose eyes were full of grievance: Only I can bully my woman, when is it your turn, Qin Huairu, to give orders?

I cursed in my heart: You are just trying to make things difficult for me, right? Isn't this going to teach you a lesson?

So Wang Hongtao comforted Qin Jingru with a few words, and then strode into the Jia family.
