Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

When Ding Qiunan and He Yuzhu returned home after visiting Xiangshan Park, Ding's father and mother had already prepared lunch.

Ding Mingyuan smiled kindly and said, "Zhu Zi, the food we cook is definitely not as delicious as yours, so you have to make do with it."

He Yuzhu said with a hint of reproach, "Dad, what are you talking about? Qiunan and I just ate ready-made food when we got home. How can we have the right to complain about whether the food is delicious or not?"

Ding Mingyuan said with a smile: "We are family and should keep our distance. Let's have a good drink at noon."

Shi Guiqin scolded him lightly, "What are you drinking? Can't you live without drinking? Zhuzi and the others have to go shopping for wedding supplies this afternoon."

He Yuzhu came to the rescue and said, "Mom, it's okay to drink less."

When Shi Guiqin heard He Yuzhu say this, she immediately put on a kind face and said in a pleasant tone:

"Then drink less, no more than three cups!"

Ding Mingyuan looked jealous and secretly complained that his wife was fickle and had forgotten her husband after getting a son-in-law.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, we've decided to hold the wedding banquet at Hongbinlou at noon tomorrow. How many people are there with you? I'll be able to decide how many tables to book."

Shi Guiqin said with a sullen face: "Zhu Zi, there are only your father and I here, no relatives at all."

"How could that be?" He Yuzhu asked in surprise.

Shi Guiqin said with a face full of anger: "Zhu Zi, you don't know, ever since your father and I were persuaded to leave, those relatives have been treating us like plague gods, wanting to hide away from us for a hundred thousand miles, fearing that we would become dependent on them."

"We haven't been in touch with them for several years, and we don't need to be in touch in the future. You don't need to invite them to your wedding."

Ding Qiunan wanted to say something but stopped himself, but finally sighed and said nothing.

He Yuzhu didn't have much to say about this. Since his father-in-law and mother-in-law had decided not to invite the previous relatives, he had no reason to object.

After lunch, He Yuzhu and Ding Qiunan went to the department store to do some shopping.

When they had almost finished purchasing, He Yuzhu suddenly noticed the bicycle exhibition area and said loudly:

"Wife, come on, I'll buy you a bicycle."

Ding Qiunan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"Brother Zhuzi, I don't want a bicycle..."

He Yuzhu said generously: "Wife, you don't have to worry about the money. A bicycle is just over a hundred yuan, which is nothing to me."

Ding Qiunan chuckled and said, "I'm not worried about the money, I just think it's unnecessary. After all, we work in the same factory, and I can take your car to and from get off work."

"Besides, I don't know how to ride a bike. Even if you buy me one, I won't be able to use it."

He Yuzhu was slightly surprised and said, "You still can't ride a bike? I'll teach you when I have time."

Ding Qiunan said excitedly, "Great! Actually, I've wanted to learn how to ride a bicycle for a long time, but no one was willing to teach me."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I'll teach my daughter-in-law! By the way, can your father ride a bicycle?"

"Yes! Why are you asking this?" Ding Qiunan asked doubtfully.

He Yuzhu said casually: "Since you don't want a bicycle, I will buy one for your dad."

"No need!" Ding Qiunan refused subconsciously.

He Yuzhu said firmly, "Why not? He married his precious daughter to me, so shouldn't I buy him a bicycle?"

"Besides, your dad will be going to work soon, so consider this as a work gift from me, his son-in-law, so that it will be more convenient for him to go to and from get off work."

Ding Qiunan was moved when he heard this and said, "Brother Zhuzi, thank you. You are so kind to me."

He Yuzhu smiled calmly: "You are my wife. If I don't treat you well, who should I treat well?"

"But we're both busy right now, so it's inconvenient to buy anything. We'll come back tomorrow morning to buy some, and then give the bike back to your father."

Ding Qiunan said affectionately, "Well, it's up to you to decide. I'll listen to you in everything."

He Yuzhu looked at Ding Qiunan's happy face and laughed heartily:

"Good wife, let's go home now."

He Yuzhu and Ding Qiunan entered the courtyard and met Yang Ruihua head-on.

Yang Ruihua said in a slightly flattering tone, "Zhu Zi, are you back?"

"Hey, why did you buy so many things? And who is this beautiful girl next to you?"

It was already past six o'clock, and most of the old ladies in the courtyard had returned and started preparing dinner. Yang Ruihua's voice immediately attracted the other old ladies.

He Yuzhu smiled brightly and said solemnly:

"Dear neighbors, let me solemnly introduce this beautiful lady to you all. She is our newlywed wife, Ms. Ding Qiunan, a doctor in the steel mill's infirmary."

As soon as He Yuzhu said this, there was a commotion at the scene.

He Yuzhu ignored everyone's shock and said with a smile:

"Come, Qiu Nan, say hello to all the neighbors."

Upon hearing this, Ding Qiunan smiled sweetly and greeted politely:

"Hello, uncles and aunts, hello, brothers and sisters, hello, brothers and sisters. I am Ding Qiunan, the wife of Brother Zhuzi. I hope that we can all live in peace in the future."

Upon hearing this, everyone responded enthusiastically and praised Ding Qiunan highly.

"Zhu Zi, your wife is so beautiful, she looks like a flower."

"Yes! I have never seen such a beautiful girl."

"She is not only beautiful, but also very elegant. You can tell at a glance that she is a girl with a higher education."

"Qiu Nan, you and Zhuzi, the handsome man and the beautiful woman, are simply a perfect match."

"You're right, you two are a match made in heaven. I wish you a happy marriage and a son soon."

"Congratulations on your marriage and may you live happily ever after!"

"I wish you a happy wedding and a long and happy marriage!"

"I wish you eternal love and happiness!"

Qin Jingru looked at Ding Qiunan in the middle of the crowd and felt ashamed. She knew that the other party was no match for her in terms of appearance, temperament, conversation, dress, etc.

He Yuzhu has such an outstanding partner, no wonder he would look down on her?

Qin Jingru didn't have much ambition. She was already satisfied to marry Xu Damao, so she didn't resent He Yuzhu.

Although Qin Jingru has no ambition, she has a common problem among women - jealousy. Looking at Ding Qiunan being surrounded and praised by everyone, she unknowingly hated Ding Qiunan.

Hate why she is so beautiful? Hate why she was born in the city instead of the countryside? Hate why she was able to marry a man as outstanding as He Yuzhu?

Yan Bugui suddenly said, "Zhu Zi, have you and Comrade Ding Qiunan obtained a marriage certificate?"

He Yuzhu frowned and said, "Yan Bugui, are your ears stuffed with donkey hair? I just introduced Qiunan as my new wife."

"Since she's a newlywed wife, she must have obtained a marriage certificate."

Yan Bugui smiled apologetically and said, "Zhu Zi, don't misunderstand me. I just want to confirm who will get married first, you or Xu Damao?"

He Yuzhu said in a cold tone: "Isn't that nonsense? Xu Damao must have gotten married first. Qiunan and I just got our marriage certificate this morning, and Xu Damao already had his wedding."
