Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Chen Xueru was about to argue with Lou Xiaoe again, but He Yuzhu said:

"Wife, give me the peeled garlic!"

As time passed, a rich aroma wafted from the He family's kitchen.

The fragrance drifted in the wind and soon spread throughout the yard.

The Jia family was closest to He Yuzhu's house and were the first to smell the rich aroma of meat.

Jia Zhang swallowed her saliva and cursed:

"You damn fool, you're making delicious food again, aren't you afraid of dying of overeating?"

"Damn you, you idiot, you didn't even bring me a bowl of rice. You're such an ungrateful person."

"Grandma, I want to eat chicken and fish!" Huaihua looked drooling.

Jia Zhang said unhappily, "Your mother is in charge of all the money in the house. If you want to eat chicken and fish, go find your mother."

Huaihua heard this, turned to look at Qin Huairu, and said with hope on her face:

"Mom, I want to eat chicken and fish."

Qin Huairu responded while frying shredded potatoes:

"Huaihua, didn't I just tell you? Our family is in financial difficulty right now, so we can't spend money recklessly."

Huaihua said stubbornly, "No, I want to eat chicken and fish."

Qin Huairu shouted angrily: "Get out!"

Qin Huairu suddenly discovered that her two daughters were showing signs of developing into bad boys, and she became very alert. The bad boy was already bad, and she didn't want to make her two daughters bad again.

Huaihua was so frightened that she burst into tears.

Qin Huairu said coldly: "If you want to cry, go outside and don't bother me here."

Upon hearing this, Huaihua ran out of the kitchen crying.

Jia Zhang smiled awkwardly and said, "Huai Ru, why don't we go buy some fish tomorrow? I don't mind what I eat, but Xiao Dang and Huaihua are both growing up."

Qin Huairu said with a gloomy face: "Jia Zhang, put away your hypocritical behavior. I know exactly what you are thinking."

"We can barely afford to eat at home, and you still want to eat fish? What the hell do you want to eat?"

"Also, Jia Zhang, I warn you not to sow discord between Xiao Dang and Huaihua. If you dare to pretend to obey but secretly disobey, I will beat you to death."

"How did Bang Geng become spoiled? He was spoiled by you, an old man. You gave him whatever he wanted and indulged him in whatever he wanted to do. That's why he gradually became lawless."

"How can you blame me for the current situation of Banggeng?"

"Shut up and light the fire. Do you want to have lunch?"

Liu Haizhongjia.

Liu Haizhong complained: "This Zhuzi is really something, why does he make the dishes so delicious?"

Wang Shufen pouted and said, "I think this pillar is deliberately tempting us."

Liu Haizhong scolded, "Shut up! Zhuzi is a top chef, and his dishes are always so delicious, why would he tempt you?"

Wang Shufen's eyes rolled around and she said excitedly:

"Lao Liu, aren't you close to Zhuzi? Why don't we spend the New Year together with him?"

Liu Haizhong was silent for a moment, then said: "It's definitely not going to work this year, maybe next year!"

Liu Guangtian sneered: "He is a great cook, why should he celebrate the New Year with you? Just because you are so fat?"

Liu Haizhong said angrily, "Liu Guangtian, you unfilial son, how can you talk to me like that?"

Liu Haizhong doesn't dare to hit his two sons now. After all, if he dares to hit him, his two sons will chop him to pieces with knives.

Liu Guangtian sneered, "Yes, I am an unfilial son, and your good eldest son is a filial son. But your filial son has been away for almost two years, how come he hasn't even sent you a letter?"

When Liu Haizhong heard this, his face turned gloomy and he said stubbornly:

"How do you know? Your elder brother didn't send me a letter?"

Liu Guangfu sneered, "Dad, don't be so stubborn. I know exactly who Liu Guangqi is. You treat him like a treasure, but he thinks you are a disgrace and would rather be a live-in son-in-law than stay with you."

Liu Haizhong was so angry that his face turned red, and he roared loudly:

"Shut up, you evil creature! Do you want to piss me off to death?"

Liu Guangtian said with disdain: "Liu Haizhong, what's the point of yelling at me? If you have the guts, go yell in front of your precious eldest son!"

"Liu Haizhong, let me tell you, if the boss doesn't provide for your retirement in the future, I will definitely not provide for your retirement either."

Liu Guangfu echoed, "Second brother is right. Liu Guangqi is the eldest in the family. You treat him the best and he gets the most. If he is not willing to support you in your old age, then my second brother and I will definitely not support you in your old age either."

Liu Haizhong's eyes widened with anger, his chest rose and fell violently, and he cursed:

"What sin did I commit in my previous life to give birth to three unfilial sons like you? I don't need you to take care of me in the future. When I get old, I will just jump into the river and drown. That will be the end of it all."

Liu Guangfu said excitedly: "Dad, you said this yourself, don't regret it in the future!"

"You... you..."

Liu Haizhong pointed at the two Liu Guangfu brothers with one hand, covered his chest with the other hand, and fell straight down.

"Old Liu, are you okay?"

Wang Shufen looked anxious and hurried to support Liu Haizhong.

"What are you two rebellious sons still doing standing there? Hurry up and take your father to the hospital."

Liu Guangtian pouted and said, "Just give him some water. Why do you need to send him to the hospital? Do you have too much money to spend?"

Liu Guangfu said coldly: "Mom, don't bother the doctor this New Year. My dad is so strong that he won't die anytime soon."

Liu Haizhong said angrily, "Beast! Beast! Both of you are beasts."

"I am a beast, what are you? An old beast?"

"Guangtian, Guangfu, can't you two say a few less words? Look how angry your father is."

The He family's living room.

The family sat around the guest table, which was filled with all kinds of delicious food: pig's trotters stewed with soybeans, big rooster stewed with mushrooms, pickled fish, shredded pork with green peppers, stir-fried lotus root, hot and sour shredded potatoes, stir-fried green vegetables...

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "It's New Year's Day today, shall we all have a drink?"

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "I'm fine!"

Chen Xueru then said, "I have no problem at all!"

"Happy New Year! I'll have a drink too!"

The deaf old lady smiled, revealing only her two remaining front teeth.

He Yuzhu nodded slightly, filled the glasses for the three people, and then poured himself a glass.

"This New Year, let's raise a glass together."

Upon hearing this, the three of them raised their glasses, clinked them with each other, and began drinking.

When Lou Xiao'e saw Chen Xueru drink the whole bottle in one gulp, he also drank it all. Seeing this, He Yuzhu shook his head with a wry smile.

She really didn't understand why Lou Xiao'e was so confrontational with Chen Xueru. Chen Xueru was his wife, and Lou Xiao'e was just his neighbor. Just because Lou Xiao'e and Chen Xueru were always confronting each other, he had to be interrogated by Chen Xueru every night.

He also discussed this with Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e agreed to it in person, but then she confronted Chen Xueru in the blink of an eye, which made him laugh and cry.
