Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Time flies, and soon it is October.

There is no seven-day holiday for National Day at this time, only two days off on October 1st and October 2nd.

There are only three days off for the Spring Festival, one day off for Labor Day, and only half a day off for holidays like Women's Day, Children's Day, Army Day, etc.

Chen Xueru and her three daughters lived in Xu Huizhen's home for two months and finally moved back to their own home.

Last night, Chen Xueru didn’t know whether she was too happy or too hungry, so she dragged He Yuzhu along and made love until after four in the morning.

At ten o'clock in the morning, when He Yuzhu and Chen Xueru were sleeping soundly, Li Ma knocked on the door.

He Yuzhu asked irritably, "Who is it?"

Li Ma responded, "Master He, your sister is here and wants to see you!"

"Let her wait!"

He Yuzhu said this impatiently and continued to sleep with his head covered.

Chen Xueru pulled open He Yuzhu's quilt and said, "Zhuzi, don't sleep anymore. There are guests at home."

He Yuzhu said coldly: "She is an ungrateful person. Come if you want. Don't take her seriously."

Chen Xueru advised: "Zhu Zi, it's not good to leave her alone like this. No matter what he says, she is still your sister. Get up quickly!"

He Yuzhu had no choice but to get dressed and get up, feeling even more displeased with He Yushui.

He Yuzhu finished washing up and walked slowly into the living room.

He Yushui complained slightly: "Brother, why did you just get up?"

He Yuzhu said coldly: "When I get up, it's none of your business. Tell me, what do you want from me again?"

He Yushui hesitated, looking as if he found it difficult to speak.

He Yuzhu frowned and said, "If you have nothing to do, get out of here. I don't have time to sit here with you and stare at you."

When He Yushui heard this, tears flashed in her eyes, and she took out a stack of money from her bag and put it on the table.

"Brother, this is all the money I have. Please help me arrange my marriage."

He Yuzhu said indifferently: "Handle your own affairs yourself, I don't have time to help you."

When He Yushui heard this, tears immediately fell.

"Brother, how could you do this?"

He Yuzhu was about to scold her, but Chen Xueru came over leisurely and said with a smile:

"Is the rain coming?"

Seeing this, He Yushui immediately wiped away her tears and said politely, "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Chen Xueru showed concern and asked puzzledly: "Yushui, why are you still crying?"

He Yushui looked embarrassed, then gritted her teeth and repeated the conversation between her and He Yuzhu.

After listening to this, Chen Xueru frowned slightly and sighed:

"Zhu Zi, you've gone too far. No matter how much of a jerk Yu Shui was before, she is your sister after all. You can't just ignore her marriage."

He Yuzhu's face was as gloomy as water and he said, "If you want to take care of it, you can do it. I don't have time to do it."

Chen Xueru hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll take care of it!"

He Yushui said happily: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

"You're welcome! By the way, when is your wedding?"

"December 12th. By the way, brother and sister-in-law, my boyfriend wants to come visit you."

"Need not…"

Chen Xueru interrupted, "When are you coming? Let sister-in-law know in advance."

He Yushui said hurriedly: "Let's do it next Sunday!"

Chen Xueru nodded slightly: "Okay!"

"Brother, sister-in-law, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

After He Yushui finished speaking, she left quickly without waiting for He Yuzhui's response, as if she was afraid that He Yuzhui would go back on his word.

Chen Xueru saw He Yushui's fleeing figure and couldn't help laughing:

"Zhu Zi, look how scared your sister is!"

"Chen Xueru, you are a businessman. The money on the table is obviously not enough to buy your dowry. This is a losing business for you?" He Yuzhu teased.

Chen Xueru raised her eyebrows and said, "Husband, dowry also has different grades. Have you ever seen your wife do a business that loses money?"

“The money on the table is indeed not much, but doesn’t He Yushui’s in-laws give a betrothal gift?”

He Yuzhu grinned and said, "So you're planning on getting the bride price?"

"Let's not talk about how much the other party will give as a betrothal gift. Aren't you worried that He Yushui will come back to ask for the betrothal gift after she gets married?"

Chen Xueru was surprised and said, "You want the betrothal gift back? You can't do that? How can a married woman ask for a betrothal gift from her parents' family?"

He Yuzhu said firmly: "Others may not do this, but He Yushui, that ungrateful bastard, will definitely do such a thing."

Chen Xueru heard this and said seriously, "Then I have to do the accounts well. If Yu Shui really comes to me to ask for the betrothal gift, then I will reconcile the accounts with her. Anyway, I will never put any money into it."

He Yuzhu smiled faintly and said, "You are the one who took over the matter, so you can do whatever you want!"

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu and started counting the money on the table.

After lunch, He Yuzhu felt bored, so he decided to take a walk around Liulichang to see if he could find any treasures.

There are many stalls selling antiques near Liulichang. There is no Panjiayuan in Beijing now, so if you want to shop online, you can only go to Liulichang.

"Wife, let's go to Liulichang to shop online!"

Chen Xueru glanced at He Yuzhu and said, "Those things sold on the street stalls are all fake. They are worthless treasures."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Who said there are no treasures? To tell you the truth, I have found no less than ten treasures in that place."

Chen Xueru's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said with a little excitement:

"Xu Huizhen once said that you can appraise treasures, but I didn't take it seriously at the time. Could it be that you really can appraise treasures?"

"Of course!"

He Yuzhu's mouth corners curled up, and a strong confidence burst out of his eyes.

"Honey, I have some old things at home, too. Can you help me take a look at them?"

Chen Xueru pulled He Yuzhu towards the utility room without saying anything.

"Wife, how about we go to Liulichang first, and then we can help you appraise the treasure after we come back?"

"No, I'm in a hurry and can't wait even a minute."

"That's okay!"

Chen Xueru came to the utility room and opened two boxes, which were indeed full of old items. A rough estimate showed that there were no less than thirty items.

He Yuzhu's eyes lit up and he rushed forward to check.

"Oh my god, black pottery figurines from the Han Dynasty, white porcelain from the Xing kiln in the Tang Dynasty, and Ru kiln porcelain from the Song Dynasty, my wife, you are rich."

Chen Xueru was overjoyed when she heard this: "Really? Honey, how much are these things worth?"

He Yuzhu said in a trembling voice: "Antiques are worthless now, but in thirty years, they will definitely be able to sell for an astronomical amount of money."

"Great! Honey, are there any fakes in there?"

"Yes, but only two of them are fakes."

"That is not bad!"

"Wife, where did you get all these antiques?"

"It's passed down from our ancestors!"

"Then your ancestors must have been glorious."

"Of course. My father once said that his grandfather's grandfather was a prefect."

"Prefect? ​​A fourth-rank official. I never knew you were from a famous family."

"Of course. Your ancestors were very lucky to be able to marry me, so you have to be nice to me in the future."

"Am I not good enough for you?"

"so so!"
