The life of Lao Liu since 1944

Chapter 264: Taking Qin Huairu back to the 4th courtyard

Then they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, gave the driver 5 cents more, and asked the three aunts to find someone to help, and carried several large sacks to the backyard at one time.

The third aunt asked with a look of curiosity and a bit of jealousy: "Hey! Chunsheng, did you go shopping with your wife? How come you brought back so many things, big bags and small bags?" There was a hint of ridicule and envy in her words, and she was obviously quite surprised and curious about the scene of Hou Jie and his wife returning with so many things.

Hou Jie patiently explained, "Third Aunt, what are you talking about? We are not going to buy goods. In fact, we held our wedding in the countryside, and these are the gifts and blessings from my father-in-law." He raised his hand and pointed at the large and small bags behind him, his face filled with pride, "Look, these things are all from my father-in-law, I can't refuse them."

Hou Jie also patted the bicycle next to him and further showed off: "And this bicycle is also a gift my father-in-law specially prepared for me." His proud tone revealed his satisfaction and gratitude for this kindness.

After hearing what Hou Jie said, the three aunts who were helping and the neighbors who were watching couldn't help but show bitterness on their faces, and their hearts were full of envy and resentment. They secretly thought: Why can't we have such a good thing? Have rural people become so rich now?

The fact that Qin Huairu's family was unexpectedly wealthy made everyone sympathize with Jia Dongxu's situation.

It's really pitiful that such a beautiful blind date with a good family was snatched away by Hou Jie. It seems like he got a great advantage, but in fact he suffered a loss. Qin Huairu is so beautiful, but it is too rare. No man can resist such a beauty.

This time, Jia Dongxu lost both his wife and his army, which makes people sigh for him.

Hou Jie's situation was completely different. It seemed that his good luck had never been so concentrated as it was at this moment. Not only did he successfully marry Qin Huairu, a beautiful and virtuous wife, but people also thought that he had picked up such a generous and magnanimous father-in-law for nothing.

Everyone was talking about it and jokingly said that Hou Jie must have done some great things in his previous life, which was why he had such good luck and all the good things happened to him.

As the most calculating daughter-in-law in the courtyard, the third aunt naturally paid special attention to Hou Jie's marriage and wanted to take advantage of it.

Like other neighbors, she eagerly looked forward to Hou Jie holding a grand wedding so that everyone could share the wedding candy and wine and share in the joyous atmosphere.

However, the reality is that Hou Jie did not plan to hold a wedding banquet at all, and only distributed some candies to celebrate. This decision undoubtedly made the three aunts and other expectant neighbors feel a little disappointed and regretful.

Despite this, the third aunt quickly adjusted her mindset. She told everyone that although there was no sumptuous meal to eat, a few candies per person was also a token of thought and blessing, which was at least better than having nothing and was also free.

Everyone nodded in understanding when they heard this. Although they couldn't eat and drink to their heart's content, such an outcome could be considered a comfort and blessing.

Nowadays, many poor families are like this, they just give out some wedding candies and get married, and she can't say anything.

The third aunt said with some regret, "Is that so? I was thinking of having another meal at your table! But, Chunsheng, you are so lucky, you got both money and a man this time!"

After hearing this, Hou Jie started to show off, boasting for a long time about how much he was loved by his father-in-law's family.

This is what several people can't stand the most. It makes them very angry. They have never seen anything so infuriating.

You have become a garbage collector, how dare you show off?

"Haha! Third Auntie, you are so right. I think so too. Although I am down and out now and only make 16.7 yuan a month, I am blessed!"

"Every wife I found was rich, not only good-looking, but also very kind. Seeing that I was having a hard time, they gave me 10 or 8 yuan every month to help me out, which made me feel embarrassed."

"You said, from now on, each daughter-in-law will give me 10 yuan a month, and I will find a job for Huairu. Then I won't have to work, and I will still live a happy life. It's wonderful just to think about it."

The more Auntie listened, the more uncomfortable she became. She felt so upset that she almost cursed Hou Jie to death.

"Look at what you said, are you talking like a human being? You are so young and yet you have to rely on your wife for support. You even want Huairu to find a job to support you. You should behave like a human being!"

"How come there is such a person in our courtyard? Chunsheng, you are even worse than Jia Zhangshi. You are such a pretty boy with no good intentions."

"I knew you were a nobody, but I didn't expect you to be such a nobody."

Of course, the three aunts didn't dare to say these words out loud.

The other people almost vomited after hearing this. Not only did he eat beef, but he also kept showing off.

I've seen people who are not motivated, but I've never seen anyone as unmotivated as this.

No wonder Yi Zhonghai doesn't like you. Who would dare to have anything to do with you? You'll be a burden to death.

Qin Huairu also looked at Hou Jie's mischief with a strange look on her face, and forced herself not to laugh.

"My husband is so mean. He is so rich, but he still keeps attacking them."

The third aunt said, "Chunsheng, look at what you said, stop joking. It's so shameful for a grown man to not work and rely on his wife for support!"

Hou Jie didn't take it seriously and said:

"Alas! My reputation is so bad, who cares about this!"

"I'm not kidding! Third Auntie, look! The people in the yard owe me more than 3000 yuan, right?"

"Let me do the math! Even if I don't work for ten years, I can still earn more than 300 yuan a year. I don't even need to work, okay?"

After Hou Jie said this, everyone at the scene fell silent. Thinking about the huge debts they had, they suddenly didn't want to pay any attention to this bastard.

Just at this time, everyone came to the backyard, and the first thing that caught their eyes was a big door at the moon gate.

Hou Jie was delighted. He was unexpectedly happy! There was actually a door. This way he had his own independent space. As long as he closed the door, he would no longer have to worry about being harassed by these beasts.

After Hou Jie took out the key and opened the door, his eyes lit up. The yard had returned to its former beautiful appearance.

Qin Huairu and the rest of the people also looked at the yard with shining eyes. Although this place was not as good as the house in Yongchang Dormitory Building, it was much better than the adobe house in their hometown.

"Honey, this house is so beautiful."

Hou Jie looked at the three aunts and the others meaningfully, and sighed, "Yes! I spent all my money to rebuild the house."

When the three aunts and others heard this, their eyes twisted.

"What? This little loser actually spent all 2000 yuan?"

"I knew that once the money fell into his hands, he would spend it all in a few days. As expected, a prodigal son is a prodigal son. Even if he had a mountain of gold, he would not be able to withstand his waste. Wouldn't it be better to just have a house to live in? Why! He wasted so much money in vain."

"He is so extravagant and doesn't know how to live at all."

A few people hurriedly put the sacks in the kitchen and left. They didn't want to stay here for a second. They were all paupers, so why were they still staying here? They were looking for trouble!

This house was bought with all her family’s money. It makes me sad just thinking about it.

Qin Huairu went to see the person off in a dignified manner. Hou Jie took this opportunity to put all the necessary things in their proper places in the space. Only then was everything settled.

Unaware of God and ghosts, perfect.

Hou Jie clapped his hands, feeling satisfied.

"Everything is done. Now no one can mess it up again!"

"If you come again, I will blackmail you to death."

Qin Huairu returned to the house and ran back and forth. No matter how many houses there were, it would not be enough!
