The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

The other party has no parents or family members, and no elderly people to support, so the pressure is less.

The two had similar experiences, both raising a younger sister, which gave them even more in common.

Yang Dalin also heard that the other party was quite tall, with long legs, which was a good deal for Sha Zhu, who would be single for many years to come.

I'm just doing this to help others, which is great.

Yang Dalin thought so.

Aunt Qi thought it was a good idea. She remembered that she had taken Yang Dalin in after only three days of looking after him, and she thought he was a good kid.

Qi Yulan has been watching Miya for about twenty days now, and she thinks she's a good child. She still has a lot of faith in her judgment of people.

It wasn't until Sha Zhu got married and Mi Ya chased him all over the yard that Qi Yulan slapped her forehead and said, "How come I didn't realize Mi Ya knew martial arts? Look how badly she beat Sha Zhu, poor thing."

That's a story for later, so let's leave it at that for now.

Another day passed, and Sha Zhu heard Yang Dalin's message that he should meet a girl wearing a white scarf near the street entrance at 1 p.m. the next day.

Sha Zhu was delighted to hear this and said he would arrive on time tomorrow.

The next day, Sha Zhu took leave early again, dressed himself up smartly, and waited in the gatehouse at the entrance of the street.

The old gatekeeper, puffing on the cigarette that Sha Zhu had given him, said, "Zhu Zi, going on another blind date?"

Sha Zhu replied, "Yes, sir, I hope it will work out this time. If it does, I'll treat you to my wedding banquet."

The doorman said with satisfaction, "Okay, that's fine. I'll give you a gift later."

Sha Zhu also said politely, "It's enough that you came, sir. It's a great honor for me to be here."

While the two were complimenting each other, Sha Zhu spotted a beautiful woman.

A beautiful girl wearing a white scarf gracefully approached from afar, accompanied by a little girl.

The little girl was wrapped up tightly, with only her eyes showing.

Sha Zhu looked at the two figures, one big and one small, and thought their clothes looked somewhat familiar.

But the white scarf was fine, and as for the little girl, Shazhu didn't think much of it.

It's quite normal for people to bring their younger siblings to blind dates.

Sha Zhu greeted the gatekeeper, and as soon as he stepped outside and saw the slender girl, he felt his heart was instantly captivated.

It's prettier than the previous ones I've seen.

Her face is a bit thin.

Sha Zhu paused for a moment before walking up to the person and asking, "Are you Comrade Mi Ya?"

The other person nodded: "You must be Comrade He, right?"

"Yes, I am He Yuzhu. Um, I didn't know you brought people with you. I have two pieces of candy here, you can sweeten your mouths."

Sha Zhu is actually quite clever; he even knew to bring some candy.

The girl didn't immediately accept the candy but declined, saying, "No need to be so polite, Comrade He. This is my sister; I need to take her with me. You don't mind, do you?"

Upon hearing that the girl had a pleasant voice, Sha Zhu quickly stuffed the candy into the little girl's pocket and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I understand, I understand. The little girl is very cute, here's some candy for you. Little sister, come and call me uncle."

When Sha Zhu got nervous, he got the generational order wrong, and the girl chuckled.

Sha Zhu is a bit dumbfounded; this girl's smile is so beautiful.

Sha Zhu secretly vowed that he must marry this girl, no matter how high her requirements were, he would win her over.

It was the girl who interrupted his daydream when she saw Sha Zhu staring blankly at him.

The two of them went to a nearby riverbank and found a place to sit down.

Before anyone could ask, Sha Zhu quickly introduced himself.

I listed a whole bunch of advantages, but also quite a few disadvantages.

Sha Zhu felt like he couldn't control his mouth anymore, and he kept saying all sorts of things.

Unexpectedly, this made the other person laugh again.

However, after laughing for a while, the girl said directly, "Comrade He, I understand your situation. You may not know my situation, so let me tell you. I only have one request."

If you agree, I can get our marriage certificate this afternoon.

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu was very excited and nodded repeatedly: "Please tell me, Comrade Mi, I will agree to even ten requests."

Miya didn't look at Shazhu, afraid he would refuse her. She said to the riverbank, "I'm a refugee here. My sister and I depend on each other for survival. We have no household registration, no job, and no family except my sister. If you promise to help me raise my sister to adulthood, I will marry you."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu thought, "That's it? As someone who's obsessed with good looks, this is a minor issue, nothing serious."

When I wasn't working, I took care of my younger sister and raised her with great difficulty.

Not to mention that I have a job now and someone helps take care of me.

No worries, no worries, it's just one more pair of chopsticks.

It's okay if you don't have a household registration or a job.

As long as it looks good, I, Silly Zhu, am willing to do anything.

So Shazhu asked blankly, "That's it? That's all?"

Miya still didn't dare to look at Shazhu; she was afraid that Shazhu wouldn't agree.

"Yes, on this condition."

Sha Zhu nodded quickly and said, "No problem, no problem. My experience is very similar to yours. I raised my younger sister by myself when I was sixteen, and I've raised her to sixteen now. Nine years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Miya turned to look at him as if she hadn't heard him clearly: "What did you say?"

Sha Zhu said, "I said no problem, I agree."

Miya hadn't expected things to be so simple, and she asked in disbelief, "Won't you reconsider? Neither of us has a household registration, and we won't have any quotas in the future!"

Sha Zhu said, "What's there to consider? I not only have a job, but I can also occasionally go out and cook for others to earn some extra money."

I can usually eat two meals at the factory, which saves my ration. I can't say how well you sisters can eat, but at least you won't go hungry.

"That should be enough to support both of you."

Miya was so excited that her eyes instantly turned red. When Mili saw that her sister was about to cry, she took her little hands out of her mittens to wipe her sister's tears: "Sister, don't cry, I'll wipe them for you."

Sha Zhu, who was standing to the side, wanted to help but hurriedly took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her: "What's wrong? Dry yourself first."

After persisting for so long, hearing Sha Zhu's simple and honest words made Mi Ya feel so happy and she wanted to cry.

But she managed to hold back, sniffed, took the handkerchief from Sha Zhu, and wiped away her tears.

She hugged her younger sister, Mili, and said, "It's okay, I'm happy."

Then he turned to Sha Zhu and said, "It's alright, Brother Zhu, I agree. Go get the materials and the letter of introduction. I'll wait for you at the street entrance."

We'll get our marriage certificate this afternoon, and I'll go home with you today.

Sha Zhu was overjoyed; he hadn't expected things to be so simple.

He quickly replied, "Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

After saying that, he ran forward. After running for a while, he looked back and saw that the two sisters were still freezing by the river.

She turned back and ran over, saying, "Hey, I know that old man at the street gate. I'll take you over there. You two sisters can warm up over there and wait for me."

Miya immediately got up, picked up Mili, and followed Shazhu toward the street.

The little girl, Mili, looked at her sister, then at Shazhu. As Shazhu was leaving, she asked him a question: "Uncle, will you be my brother-in-law from now on?"

The gatekeeper chuckled, flicked the little girl's nose, and said, "You can't call this man 'uncle,' you have to call him 'brother.' Tomorrow you can call him 'brother-in-law.'"

Sha Zhu also said, "Yes, the old man is right."

"Miya, wait for me! I'll be right back."

After saying that, he rode off on the borrowed bike.

After riding a few steps, Sha Zhu glanced back at Mi Ya standing outside the gatehouse. Sha Zhu felt a surge of happiness and almost fell over because he wasn't paying attention to the road.
