Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Looking at the surprised expressions of Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng, Sha Zhu smiled complacently.

"I didn't buy it. The deaf old lady gave it to me because I had given her so many delicious foods. What do you think? This is what they call good things happening to good people!"

Sha Zhu also knew that it was easy to be caught by others if he talked about the sale of houses, so He Daqing told him that it was a gift to anyone who asked, since it was also written as a gift on the transfer document anyway.

Yan Jiecheng shouted with an expression of disbelief: "Impossible! The day before yesterday, an aunt came to our house and said she wanted to sell it to me. How could she give it to you?"

Yan Jiecheng didn't understand the twists and turns, but how could someone as smart as Yan Bugui not figure it out?

Even if it is said to be a gift, you will definitely have to pay for it in private.

So he said, "Zhu Zi, your family doesn't lack houses, so why do you need so many houses? How about I talk to your father and ask him to sell this house to us?"

Sha Zhu shook his head and said, "Impossible, my father asked me to split up the family property, and now this house is mine, how could I sell it to someone else!"

"What? You and your father separated? Why did you separate for no reason?"

Sha Zhu's words surprised Yan Bugui again.

"What's the big deal? My father has brothers and sisters, and I am not the only son. Besides, although the family is separated, we are all in the same courtyard and eat together. I still respect my parents. What's the difference?"

Yan Bugui thought about it and understood what Sha Zhu said.

They are following the example of Xu Damao's family. In name they are dividing the family, but in reality they are just doing it for the house of the deaf old lady.

Seeing that there was no way out, Yan Bugui could only pull Yan Jiecheng back home.

At present, it seems that now that the house is in the hands of Sha Zhu's family, it will be impossible to sell it. He Daqing's family is not short of money.

After Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng left, Sha Zhu opened the door and helped Yu Li into the house.

The two of them looked at the layout inside.

The deaf old ladies left in a hurry and couldn't take some large items with them, so they left them all to Sha Zhu.

In addition to the two beds on the left and right sides of the bedroom, there are also tables and chairs in the living room in the middle.

It’s just that the things have been used for a long time and look very old.

Yu Li looked around and said, "Zhu Zi, a lot of the furniture here is broken. Let's make new ones when the time comes. I'll let my dad and the others do it then."

Since his wife has spoken, how could Sha Zhu dare not agree?

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. We'll replace the doors and windows and refurbish the roof tiles when the time comes. We're not in a hurry to move in anyway, so let your dad clean up slowly."

The two of them walked around the house and then left. Sha Zhu locked the door and went home to cook.

After Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng returned home, Yan Jiecheng was so angry that he lay on the bed and refused to get up, ignoring Yan Bugui.

When Auntie No. 3 saw this, she asked, "Dad, what's going on? Isn't the house for sale?"

Yan Bugui shook his head, sighed and said, "The house was taken by He Daqing. Do you think it is possible to sell it again after it is in his hands?"

"What does He Daqing want a house for? His family has so many houses, and he still wants to buy one. Isn't he afraid that others will report his family and ask him to hand in the extra ones?"

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes at the third aunt's words and said unhappily, "You are so smart! How could He Daqing not think of what you can think of? He Daqing divided Sha Zhu's house and transferred it to Sha Zhu's name. It's useless for anyone to report it."

The third aunt said angrily, "He Daqing, you have so many houses at home, why are you fighting with us? You too, I asked you to agree earlier, but you insisted on being clever. Now, let's see what our Jie Cheng's wife will say? Where will we get married then?"

After scolding Yan Bugui, the third aunt turned away in anger and went to the kitchen, ignoring Yan Bugui, who was scheming.

Yan Bugui sat at the dinner table, muttering to himself, "Man disposes, God disposes. I miscalculated this time. Who could have thought that He Daqing, a troublemaker, would show up halfway? Otherwise, according to my calculations, our family would definitely be able to take over the house."

However, no one paid attention to what he said. Both the third aunt and Yan Jiecheng had opinions about him.

Two days later, which happened to be a Sunday, Yu Linhai came to Sha Zhu's house.

He Daqing held the child and happily invited Yu Linhai to sit in the living room.

Yu Linhai looked at the chubby white child in He Daqing's arms, his eyes full of envy.

He is not much older than He Daqing. Look at her, she has two such lovely children, while he can only watch.

After chatting for a few words, He Daqing asked Sha Zhu and Yu Li to take Yu Linhai to the back to see the house.

He paid for the purchase of the house, and as for the cleaning and decoration, that was the business of Sha Zhu and his wife. They could decide on how they wanted the house to be decorated.

Yu Linhai looked at the house, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Zhu Zi, the materials used in this house are all very good. It will be fine to use it for dozens or even hundreds of years. I will bring people to fix the tiles on the roof, renovate the doors and windows, and build two kangs in the bedroom. What do you think?"

Sha Zhu nodded, "Dad, you can do whatever you want. We are not in a hurry to move in. You don't have to worry. Just take your time."

Yu Li said, "Dad, Zhuzi and I want to replace all the furniture inside with new ones. You can make a new set for me when the time comes."

"Okay, I'll find some good wood during this time and make you a new set of furniture."

Yu Linhai agreed to this small matter without hesitation.

After the few people discussed it, at noon, He Daqing asked Sha Zhu to prepare some dishes and had a few drinks with Yu Linhai.

Yu Linhai was also very envious of the life in his in-laws' home.

Other families have difficulty even getting enough to eat, but this in-law’s family basically has meat for every meal and rarely eats coarse grains, only fine grains.

Ever since his daughter married into Sha Zhu's family, she has become like a completely different person, no longer looking as skinny as before.

Looking at the complexion of that family, there is no feeling of famine at all.

After lunch, Yu Linhai was so drunk that he was groggy, and it was Sha Zhu who rode his bike to take him home.

In the following days, the excitement about the departure of the aunt and the deaf old lady gradually faded. The matter of Sha Zhu decorating the deaf old lady's house was also discussed by everyone for a while.

However, after knowing that Sha Zhu and He Daqing separated, the house was given to Sha Zhu, so others were just envious.

During this period, Yu Linhai would bring people to the courtyard to work every day.

Although Sha Zhu said he was not in a hurry to move in, this is his daughter and son-in-law's house, how could he not pay attention to it?

His relative-in-law would never forget him when he had any good things, so in return, he had to do the job well.

Not only that, because Chen Xueru had two children to take care of and was too busy to prepare lunch for several workers at noon, Yu Linhai called his wife over to help cook, saving He Daqing's family a lot of trouble.
