Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Maybe she was blinded by the money that Guo Piezi gave her during this period, or maybe Xiaodang felt that the days she had lived were the most comfortable since she returned to the city.

There is no one nagging or making sarcastic remarks about me, I don't have to worry about finding a job, and I can eat pork and chicken every day.

This kind of life seems like a fairy tale to Xiaodang.

If I had listened to Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu's advice and gone to the street to divorce Guo Piezi, not only would this fairy-like life be gone forever, but I would also have to return the hundred yuan betrothal money in my pocket to Guo Piezi. I would have to go back to the hard life I had a few days ago, living under someone else's roof, worrying about finding a job every day, and enduring the sarcasm and ridicule of Banggeng and Jia Zhang.

When Xiaodang thought about the hard days he had just experienced, he shook his head like a rattle and refused without hesitation.

"Dad Yi..."

"You may be talking about Lao Guo a few years ago. Lao Guo has changed for the better now. He goes home on time every day after get off work and gives me dozens of yuan every month as living expenses and pocket money."

"I think this kind of life is what I want. Even if Lao Guo does have some minor moral flaws, as long as he treats me well and brings money home on time every month, I am willing to continue living with him."

"Don't try to persuade me."

"If you accept Lao Guo as your son-in-law, Lao Guo and I will have lunch at home at noon, and I will come home often to take care of you in the future."

"If you don't recognize Lao Guo as your son-in-law, then you can just treat me as your daughter and never come back with Lao Guo again."

Kao Xiaodang was unmoved and was determined to target Guo Piezi. Qin Huairu's face turned red with anger. Yi Zhonghai was also very angry and stared at Guo Piezi with a pair of red eyes.

If eyes could kill, Guo Piezi would have died countless times by now.

Guo Piezi's reaction was completely opposite to theirs, his face was full of pride and smiles.

Especially after hearing Xiaodang's words that she was willing to sever ties with the Jia family for him, he looked at Yi Zhonghai with a provocative expression, as if to say: Look how well I have trained Xiaodang, he would rather follow me, with whom he has only lived for a few days, than sever ties with his biological mother, with whom he has lived for more than ten years.

Bang Geng, who had been silent the whole time, finally couldn't stand it anymore and started to curse: "Xiao Dang..."

"You must go to the street with that scum Guo Piezi and get a divorce today..."

Xiaodang has endured a lot of ridicule and sarcasm from Banggeng during this period, and he only has hatred but no love for his younger brother Banggeng.

When she heard him say her husband was a scum right away, she immediately retorted with an angry expression: "Lao Guo is my man, isn't he a scum?"

"He is a scum." Bang Geng became more and more angry as he spoke, gritting his teeth and cursing: "If he was not a scum, why did he commit adultery with my mother in the steel mill back then?"

"Banggeng... don't say it..." Seeing that Banggeng was about to tell the ugly story between Qin Huairu and Guo Piezi in the past, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu shouted at the same time as if they had discussed it beforehand.

But in the end it was too late.

Banggeng spilled out all the stories that happened back then, just like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

"Back then, Guo Piezi committed adultery with my mother at the steel mill and was caught red-handed. Both of them were punished."

"My mother was almost fired from the steel mill, and Guo Piezi was demoted from a cadre to an ordinary worker."

"You are my daughter, and now you are marrying someone who bullied me in the past. Do you still have any sense of shame?"

"If this matter gets out, people will definitely say that the mother and daughter of the Jia family serve one man, and then the Jia family will lose all face."

"You will never be able to hold your head up because of this."

After hearing this, Xiaodang, who had always stood on Guo Piezi's side, finally wavered.

After being shocked, he looked at Guo Piezi with an incredible face and asked back: "Old Guo... is what Bang Geng just said true?" "Did you really bully my mother at the steel mill back then?"

Guo Piezi didn't expect that Banggeng would tell the story of that year in front of Xiaodang. Facing Xiaodang's question, he scratched his head embarrassedly.

But he didn't want to let go of this young and beautiful daughter-in-law, so he immediately pretended to be regretful and answered.

"it is true……"

“But that was more than ten years ago.”

"I was young at the time and liked to hang out outside, so I made mistakes, but I have been punished and have turned over a new leaf."

"Bang Geng, you can't stop me and Xiao Dang from being together because of this matter."

After hearing Guo Piezi's regretful explanation, Xiaodang's hesitant expression was once again replaced by determination, and he looked at Banggeng and answered seriously.

"so what?"

"Lao Guo has changed, so this matter is over. I believe Lao Guo will definitely treat me well in the future."

Banggeng stared at Xiaodang with wide eyes. He didn't expect that this sister would lose her dignity for money.

But you can understand it if you think about it.

Their biological mother, Qin Huairu, was such a person. She married her husband's master for money.

It is said that once a teacher, always a father. Although Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai are not related by blood, they are in a relationship of elder and junior to a certain extent.

As a result, Qin Huairu insisted on marrying Yi Zhonghai for money.

What goes up means what goes down. Qin Huairu, as a mother, did not set a good example and set a bad precedent. Xiao Dang followed suit and will definitely be a person who will do anything for money.

As for face, to use a phrase Qin Huairu often said: face means nothing when it comes to food and money.

"Get out of here..." Seeing that Xiaodang completely refused to accept everyone's advice and did not care about the Jia family's reputation at all, Banggeng was undoubtedly the most angry.

It was already difficult for him to find a wife. If any bad news spread about the Jia family because of this incident and they became the laughing stock of the entire street, it would be even more difficult for Bang Geng to find a wife in the future.

Therefore, Xiaodang's decision will definitely increase the difficulty of finding a wife for him.

He had long been resentful and very dissatisfied with Xiaodang for eating and using the family's food every day and not being able to find a job.

Now that Xiaodang has abandoned his own interests for money, Banggeng's resentment towards him has deepened.

He looked at Xiao Dang as if he were an enemy and cursed him without mercy: "Get out of the Jia family..."

"As long as you don't divorce Guo Piezi, you are no longer a member of my Jia family, and I, Bang Geng, will not recognize you as my sister."

"It is even more impossible for Guo Piezi to become the son-in-law of my Jia family, so just give up on this idea..."

It was not until then that Jia Zhang finally understood why Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu were so angry when they saw Guo Piezi. The relationship between them was really too complicated and messy. Even Jia Zhang, who prided herself on being thick-skinned, felt a little ashamed of herself and cried out in dismay, "What a sin... What sin did my Jia family commit to make us encounter so many scandals..."
