Siheyuan: I have a mental illness

After Xu Damao left, Yi Zhonghai looked at Matchmaker Wang with a smile and said, "Matchmaker Wang, let the two young people talk more! How about we go to my room for a cup of tea?"

Matchmaker Wang chuckled when she heard this and said, "Okay, let the two young people chat for a while."

How could Matchmaker Wang not understand what Yi Zhonghai meant? He wanted Sha Zhu and Tian Ximei to talk alone.

After listening to what Yi Zhonghai and Wang the Matchmaker said, Sha Zhu scratched his head in embarrassment and grinned foolishly.

He was still loyal to Qin Huairu until death a few days ago, but who is Qin Huairu now?

Matchmaker Wang looked at Tian Ximei and said with a smile: "Girl, why don't you talk to him alone?"

In fact, Tian Ximei is very conflicted now. She really cannot accept Sha Zhu.

However, when the difficulties her family was facing came to her mind, she nodded slightly, indicating that she was willing to talk to Sha Zhu alone and give it a try.

Seeing this, Matchmaker Wang showed a satisfied smile on her face. She turned to Sha Zhu and said, "Comrade He Yuzhu, why are you still standing there laughing like an idiot? Hurry up and bring Miss Ximei into the house!"

After being reminded by Matchmaker Wang, Sha Zhu, who was originally immersed in joy, suddenly came to his senses, uttered an "ah", and then led Tian Ximei into his room.

After watching Sha Zhu bring Tian Ximei into the house, Yi Zhonghai turned to look at Matchmaker Wang and said, "Okay, let's go to my house for a cup of tea and I'll give you the remaining money."

When Wang the Matchmaker heard that Yi Zhonghai was actually going to give the remaining money to her, the smile on her face was so bright that even AK could hardly suppress it, and the corners of her mouth almost stretched to her ears.

After Tian Ximei followed Sha Zhu into the room, she scanned the layout and furnishings in the room, and her brows slightly furrowed. After all, Matchmaker Wang had told her before that Sha Zhu was a chef at the steel mill and could get a salary of more than 30 yuan a month.

However, Sha Zhu's house was cleaned very clean and tidy.

But it's really a bit too shabby.

You can see through Shazhu's house at a glance, there is nothing there.

He doesn't look like a working class person who earns more than 30 yuan a month.

Actually, it’s not Shazhu’s fault. After all, he hasn’t been to work for several months.

In the past, any money he had was deceived by Yi Zhonghai into subsidizing the Jia family. Later, when he finally saved a little, he gave it back to Jia Huzi.

So, Sha Zhu had no money from beginning to end.

Don’t ask, asking is true love.

Sha Zhu had a silly smile on his face and said to Tian Ximei enthusiastically, "Don't stand, sit down!" As he spoke, he picked up a piece of cloth, carefully wiped the stool next to him, and then gently placed it next to Tian Ximei.

Tian Ximei looked at Sha Zhu gratefully, thanked him softly, and slowly sat down on the stool.

However, when she sat down, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Sha Zhu was not good at speaking, and at this moment he didn't know how to continue the conversation with Tian Ximei. He was so nervous that his palms were sweating, so he had to bite the bullet and ask, "I don't even know your name?"

Tian Ximei smiled at Sha Zhu and replied softly, "Hello, Comrade He Yuzhu. My name is Tian Ximei and I live in a large compound on Qianmen Street."

When Sha Zhu heard Tian Ximei's self-introduction, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He quickly responded: "Comrade Tian, ​​you don't have to be so polite. Everyone likes to call me Sha Zhu, you can also call me that."

Tian Ximei frowned slightly when she heard this, and asked curiously, "Comrade He Yuzhu, why do people in the courtyard like to call you Shazhu?"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he seemed to open up and told her everything about his childhood experience of selling buns.

Sha Zhu talked incessantly and fluently about the stories of the past. Tian Ximei listened while her frown slowly relaxed.

She thought to herself: It turns out that He Yuzhu is not as stupid as Xu Damao said.

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly, showing a simple smile, and then continued: "That's roughly the situation. Later, my father He Daqing eloped with the White Widow, and the people in the yard called me 'Sha Zhu' even more unscrupulously. Over time, I gradually got used to this name."

Tian Ximei nodded gently and finally understood why everyone called He Yuzhu "Silly Zhu".

However, out of politeness and concern, she still comforted him: "Regarding your father's affairs, it is true that he did something inappropriate, but you don't have to feel sad about it."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he let out a long sigh, indicating that he didn't care too much about it.

Tian Ximei stared at Sha Zhu and continued to ask, "Comrade He Yuzhu, have you not been going to work recently? I heard from Matchmaker Wang that your leg was injured and you have been recuperating at home recently."

Sha Zhu nodded and said, "Well, I have been resting at home for more than two months. However, the uncle said that the factory wants me to go back to work after the New Year."

When Tian Ximei heard Sha Zhu say that he could still go to work at the steel mill after the New Year, she nodded and felt relieved. After all, the prerequisite for her blind date with Sha Zhu was that he was a cook at the steel mill. If Sha Zhu lost his job, then this blind date would be meaningless.

Tian Ximei asked again: "Comrade He Yuzhu, my family is not well off, I have two younger brothers and a younger sister. If you marry me, will you help my family?"

This issue is very important to Tian Ximei. If Sha Zhu is unwilling to help her family after marrying her, she will not marry Sha Zhu no matter what.

A big part of the reason why Tian Ximei has not married yet is because of this. After all, anyone facing a family like Tian Ximei has to think deeply and think deeply again. You know, if you marry Tian Ximei, it is equivalent to supporting an extra family.

After hearing what Tian Ximei said, Sha Zhu was silent for a moment and said, "Well, I want to ask the uncle about this."

Hearing Sha Zhu's answer, Tian Ximei frowned and asked in confusion, "Why do you have to ask the uncle in your courtyard about your affairs? I heard from Matchmaker Wang that you have a sister, right? Shouldn't you discuss it with your sister?"

Sha Zhu scratched his head and explained, "Actually, we will also provide for Uncle Yi in his old age. After all, he has no children, and he has always treated me as his own son. So I think we should ask Uncle Yi for his opinion on this matter first."

Tian Ximei couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this. She thought to herself that Sha Zhu was really a fool. He didn't even mention his sister, but only wanted to ask that uncle. She couldn't help but ask again: "If your uncle doesn't let you help my family, will you not help?"

Sha Zhu was speechless for a moment. After a long while, he stammered and replied, "Well... well, I don't know what to do, but I will try my best to convince the old man to agree."

Tian Ximei felt more and more dissatisfied after hearing this. She couldn't understand why Sha Zhu was so obedient to an outsider, but didn't care about his own sister at all. Could it be that in his heart, the so-called uncle was more important than his own sister? Thinking of this, Tian Ximei's face became gloomy, and she began to re-examine the man in front of her.
