Siheyuan: After I moved in, the compound became a mess

Chapter 303: Sha Zhu Shows Attention to Qin Huairu Again

He is used to beating his children tonight. If he doesn't beat them for three days, Liu Haizhong will feel itchy and have nothing to do!

I secretly cursed the old woman for being too nosy, but I couldn't show it on my face.

Liu Haizhong frowned, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the front yard while thinking.

Last night Wang Dabao suggested that Yu Li bake sweet potatoes, and Liu Guangtian came to help, but no one knows how it went.

There was still some time before dinner, so he planned to stroll over and take a look.

Passing by the central courtyard, Liu Haizhong saw Qin Huairu making a fire on the simple stove she had just built.

This stove was prepared for making tea in the evening. It was temporarily built with bricks and mud yesterday. Qin Huairu lit a fire now to dry the mud and remove moisture from the stove.

"Huai Ru, why didn't Guang Tian come to help you?"

Liu Haizhong walked over with a bulging belly and pointed at the large iron pot beside him. "When you put the pot on the stove, don't try to do it yourself. Be careful not to hurt your waist. The whole family is counting on you. I saw Guangtian asking him to come over to help you."

Qin Huairu was so busy that she was sweating.

Life in the Jia family was tiring before, but not only was it tiring at that time, I also had to endure the scolding from Jia Zhang.

Things are different now. Once Jia Dongxu is paralyzed, Qin Huairu is the only one who takes care of the household. Jia Zhang also knows that Qin Huairu cannot be absent from the family.

Although remarriage is rare these days, there are examples of this happening nearby.

Jia Zhang was also afraid that if Qin Huairu had any such thoughts, it would be disastrous and the whole family would be in dire straits.

She is very self-aware. If she were asked to go out and find a job to earn money to support her son and grandchildren, it would be better for them to starve to death together.

Therefore, Qin Huairu gradually gained the right to speak in the family, and Jia Zhangshi no longer dared to scold her at every turn, and even had to ask Qin Huairu for her opinion on some matters.

"He's an old man. He just came from my place. He helped me a lot. He helped me pick up the pot from the pool."

Qin Huairu looked up and saw that it was Liu Haizhong. She quickly stood up and replied with a smile, "Uncle, I'll be done in a while. Just let my mother-in-law help me. There's no need to call Guangtian specifically. He has his own things to do."

Qin Huairu is not like Jia Zhangshi. She is grateful for the help from Liu Haizhong and others.

Jia Zhang would only think that since they were from the compound, they should have made contributions to the Jia family.

"Okay, you're a sensible kid. Just don't do it by yourself."

Liu Haizhong nodded with satisfaction, but he was thinking in his heart that if Qin Huairu sprained her waist again, he would have to organize donations, which would cause complaints in the compound.

"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll go check out the front yard."

After giving Qin Huairu some instructions, Liu Haizhong turned around and was about to leave when he saw Sha Zhu walking towards him with a bowl of steaming noodles.

"Hey, Er... it's an uncle, are you inspecting?!"

Sha Zhu walked up to Qin Huairu and said, "Sister Qin, I just made an extra bowl. We can't finish it even with the rain water. Give it to Banggeng and Xiaodang."

Qin Huairu waved her hands quickly, "Zhu Zi, how can this be so embarrassing?"

"Take it." Sha Zhu stuffed the bowl into Qin Huairu's hand. "Sister Qin, please don't be polite to me. It's only natural for us neighbors to take care of each other."

Qin Huairu took the noodles reluctantly and went into the house with the bowl.

Liu Haizhong stared at Sha Zhu, and when Qin Huairu disappeared, he heaved a sigh of relief and said with a straight face, "Sha Zhu, come with me."

He just told Sha Zhu last night not to have any bad thoughts towards Qin Huairu, and he agreed. But today Sha Zhu came to show his courtesy in front of Liu Haizhong. This is simply lip service.

The two came to the brick pile next to the moon gate. Liu Haizhong stretched out his hand, pointed at Sha Zhu's nose and started to scold him: "Sha Zhu, what's wrong with you? You said everything well yesterday, but why did you change your mind today? If you do this again, I will unite everyone in the compound to denounce you!"

"I'm not kidding you, this is serious!"

Seeing that Sha Zhu seemed not to have heard him, Liu Haizhong added one more sentence.

Sha Zhu shrugged, "Master, please don't think of me as such a filthy person. I did overdo it this afternoon. After Yu Shui found out about the Jia family's situation, she asked me to deliver it. So you have to blame Yu Shui for this. She eats at my place. Why don't you go and give her a lecture?!"

Liu Haizhong's lips trembled, and he didn't say anything. He shook his hands fiercely and said, "Then you should let the rain water deliver it. Why are you showing off? Don't let me see this happen again in the future."

"Silly Zhu, listen carefully. The Jia family is in a difficult situation right now. Don't get involved."

"Why would I interfere? You are too disrespectful to say that, uncle."

Sha Zhu immediately didn't want to hear that, and he stiffened his neck and started to refute, "We all live in the same courtyard, why can you help Sister Qin but I can't?"

"You just can't."

Liu Haizhong glared at her and got angry. "Don't think I don't know your little tricks. I'm telling you, give up on that idea as soon as possible. As long as I'm still the boss of this courtyard, I won't let you succeed."

"Mr. Liu, I'm talking to you about serious matters, don't talk about other things..."

Before Sha Zhu could finish his sentence, Liu Guangtian rushed over and grabbed him by the collar. "Sha Zhu, how the hell are you talking to my dad like that? Be careful or I'll beat you up."

It turned out that the quarrel between Liu Haizhong and Sha Zhu had spread to the front yard. Liu Guangtian walked a few steps over here and saw Sha Zhu quarreling with his father from a distance, so he ran over to teach Sha Zhu a lesson.

Even though Liu Guangtian had just been beaten up by Comrade Lao Liu last night, he was still his father, and it was natural for a father to beat his son in this day and age.

Seeing Sha Zhu yelling at Liu Haizhong, Liu Guangtian's anger was immediately ignited.

"Hey, Liu Guangtian, let me tell you, you are no match for me, let me go immediately." After being stunned for a while, Sha Zhu held Liu Guangtian's hand tightly and said.

However, Sha Zhu did not scare Liu Guangtian. After all, he was not called the God of War of the Compound for nothing.

Originally, Wang Dabao, Xu Damao, Yan Bugui, Master Qian, and Liu Guangtian had moved a bench and were sitting under the window sill of old Yan's house, basking in the sun and chatting, preparing to wait for Yan Jiecheng to come back and try out the stove.

As a result, when Liu Guangtian heard a noise coming from the Intermediate Courtyard, he went to check but never came back.

From the sound, he joined the battle.

Yan Bugui's head was spinning around, and he stood up with a cry and strode towards the central courtyard. The people behind him looked at each other and also walked towards this side.

When a few people came up, they saw Liu Guangtian grabbing Sha Zhu's collar, and the atmosphere was tense.

Liu Haizhong was also standing beside him, glaring with anger.

Yan Bugui's good nature came out again, and he hurried forward to persuade them: "Hey, we are all neighbors living in the same yard. What are you doing? Why make such a fuss?"

Liu Guangtian snorted, loosened his hand but still glared at Sha Zhu fiercely.

Sha Zhu straightened his cotton-padded jacket, looking unconvinced.

When Xu Damao saw Sha Zhu, he immediately became energetic. Sha Zhu had given him a hard time in the morning, and his nose was still twitching from the cold.
