Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

Seeing Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu felt a little uncomfortable for some reason. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sister Qin, is there something wrong? I need to go look for Chongzi."

"Looking for Chongzi? Why are you looking for Chongzi so late at night? The couple is being affectionate, why are you looking for them?" Qin Huairu was just watching Sha Zhu coming in and out of the house. Just now, he brought a pheasant from Yang Chong's house, thinking it was for her. But she didn't expect that after going around the whole courtyard, the pheasant was gone again.

Then he quickly stopped Sha Zhu and wanted to ask him what he was busy doing going in and out, and why he even had to take a pheasant with him.

"It's okay, go find Chongzi and buy a pheasant." said Sha Zhu.

"Buy a pheasant?" Qin Huairu was stunned. Didn't you just buy one? Why are you buying another one? What big event are you going to do that requires such a huge investment? Suddenly, she thought, "Zhu Zi, why are you buying a pheasant out of the blue? Are you planning to ask someone to match you up?"

Sha Zhu was afraid of seeing Qin Huairu. Although he was usually very cautious, he couldn't hide anything when he saw Qin Huairu. He said honestly, "To be honest, Sister Qin, I really need to ask the third uncle to help me find a matchmaker. When Yu Shui left, he told me to find a girl for a blind date and get married as soon as possible, so as not to be single for the rest of my life when I'm older."

Qin Huairu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She had only asked tentatively, but she didn't expect that she had guessed it right. Sha Zhu really wanted to go on a blind date.

This is not okay. If he succeeds in the blind date, how can I let him support my family in the future? Where can I find a meal ticket? What will the two children eat? And the baby in my belly will be born in a few months, which will cost money.

No, he must not be allowed to go on a blind date!

But what excuse could she give to dissuade him from this idea? Qin Huairu couldn't think of any reason for a moment.

And Sha Zhu didn't dare to say more to her. After that, he hurried into Yang Chong's house and said, "Chongzi, I'm bothering you again."

Behind the scenes, Qin Huairu cursed Yang Chong and Yan Bugui in her heart. She returned to the house with a gloomy face and racked her brains to think of how to stop Sha Zhu from going on a blind date.

But I couldn't come up with a suitable excuse after thinking about it for most of the night.

After all, men and women should get married when they are old enough. Sha Zhu is almost 30 years old and has reached the age for marriage. People of the same age as him in the hospital have already married. The reason why they have waited until now to go on a blind date and get married is all because of me.

But, isn't there anything I can do about it?

Who made that damn Jia Dongxu die so young, leaving me a widow at such a young age!

Besides, if you die, you will die, but you will leave behind two burdens.

Not to mention, he planted a child in my mother's belly before he died. Now I can't even earn money to support my family.

Could it be that he was just going to watch helplessly as Sha Zhu's meal ticket was snatched away by someone else?

Qin Huairu was unwilling to give up. She wished there was a way to keep Sha Zhu as her meal ticket.

But I have no reason to stop others from going on blind dates and then getting married. After they get married, of course the meal tickets will belong to someone else.

Even if I could just take care of myself quietly in the future it would be fine.

Alas, it’s a pity that I’m a widow with two... no, three burdens. Otherwise, I could marry Sha Zhu and enjoy this high-quality meal ticket all to myself.

Sha Zhu is a chef in a state-owned factory. He earns more than 30 yuan a month, which is higher than many people's salaries.

But don't even think about it. Sha Zhu is happy to do it, but everyone in the yard will scold him. Apart from anything else, Yu Shui, the sister-in-law, will definitely not agree. If she makes a fuss, it will be more trouble than it's worth.

However, although I cannot get married, I can introduce my relatives to him.

Since you can't stop him from going on a blind date, just make the blind date person your own.

At that time, on the one hand, I can make Sha Zhu accept my favor, and on the other hand, I can also do a favor on this side.

Now that Sha Zhu and his wife have become our relatives, can we ask them to help our family from time to time?

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up when she thought of this. This is a good idea!

If it works, even if I can't continue to monopolize Sha Zhu's meal ticket, at least I can benefit from him, right?

Yes, do that.

Over there, Yan Bugui received two pheasants from Sha Zhu in succession. He was so happy that he didn't even have time to sleep. He slaughtered both pheasants that night. Except for throwing away some inedible internal organs, nothing else was wasted.

All the chicken feathers are plucked and sold after being dried.

I'll stir-fry the chicken intestines, chicken livers, chicken hearts, etc. and eat them tomorrow.

As for the pile of pheasant meat, the family thought he wanted to improve everyone's life, but Yan Bugui coated them all with salt, hung them in the house, waited for them to dry, and then put them in jars to eat slowly.

"Dad, I want to eat pheasant meat. There is so much pheasant meat. Please let us have some." Yan Jiekuang said eagerly.

Yan Bugui glared and said, "Why didn't I let you eat it? Aren't those chicken intestines, chicken livers, and chicken hearts reserved for you? I'll ask your mother to fry them for you tomorrow morning."

Yan Jiefang curled his lips and said, "Dad, you are too stingy, aren't you? There are two big fat pheasants, and you let us eat some chicken offal. You are not willing to give us even a piece of chicken?"

Yan Bugui said, "Silly boy, there is a lot of chicken, but we have to eat it carefully, right? We have to live a good life, and we should live a steady life, don't you know? If you eat it all, won't you be left with nothing for the rest of your life?"

The children rolled their eyes, knowing that it would be a waste of time to say more, so they simply stopped talking.

The third aunt said worriedly, "Old Yan, didn't one of these two pheasants belong to the girl? Why did you kill them all? If Sha Zhu knew about this, he would be very angry with you."

Yan Bugui said, "You know nothing! Now that the things are in our hands, whether I give it to the girl or not, as long as you guys don't say anything, how can he know?"

Then he pointed at the kids and said, "Remember this clearly. If anyone asks you about it, just say that I took the pheasant to school. Don't say anything else. Got it?"

Several children said listlessly: "I know..."

Yan Bugui said to himself again, "Humph, this idiot Zhu, he just wanted me to exchange a pheasant for a beautiful wife who still has a job. He's dreaming too much. Just wait and see how I make him bleed. Humph, he gave all his money to Qin Huairu, and now it's his turn to find a wife, but he's stingy."

As he was talking, he saw Yan Jiecheng coming in and said, "If Yu Li wants to come to our house for dinner again, we don't have to go to Chongzi to buy meat anymore."
