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

Yang Dalin replied to Shazhu: "Let them find their own partners. You two should each live your own lives and make sure you can manage on your own."

Stop worrying about other people's business.

By the way, Brother Zhu, did no one invite you to cook this weekend?

I think you should take on any jobs you're willing to do; you'll be supporting four people in the future.

If you have a baby in the future, once Little He Dan is born, your family will have quite a few people.

You should put saving money and making more money on the back burner and make it your top priority.

These days, ordinary people can't get enough to eat, but there are always rich people.

There are far too many wealthy people in Beijing.

You could take this opportunity to earn some food and money.

Sha Zhu scratched his head: "Yes, there are some, but some people are keeping a low profile now. There are also people who want to host a dinner party but don't have all the ingredients, so they want me to cook a whole table of dishes."

I'm afraid that if I don't have all the ingredients, I won't be able to cook well and will ruin my reputation.

When Yang Dalin heard him say that, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Are you stupid, Brother Zhu?"

Why don't you take a look at some simple dishes that ordinary people can't make well?

For example, the cornbread that ordinary people make is made by grinding corn cobs together with corn kernels. The steamed cornbread is very coarse and rough on the throat.

You can fry the cornbread!

Even the most unpalatable food becomes delicious when dipped in oil.

There are also various wild vegetables in spring, such as elm seeds and locust flowers. You can also research how to cook these to make them delicious.

Locust flowers can also be used as filling for steamed buns.

You can make some wild vegetables into delicious dishes, which not only enhances your reputation and earns you more money, but also gives the host family face.

why not?

Of course, if wealthy people invite you, you should rip them off.

In an ordinary family, if you can make delicious meals with the simplest ingredients, that's what makes you look awesome.

Is this the correct logic?

Sha Zhu's eyes lit up as he listened. That's right! This would not only boost his reputation, but if he researched more ways to cook wild vegetables, he might even make it into the newspapers.

The newspapers mentioned some ways to eat aquatic plants a while ago.

There's also a double-steaming method for rice.

If you do something right, you'll reap both fame and fortune.

Sha Zhu was very excited after hearing this, and repeatedly bowed to Yang Dalin, saying, "Brother, good brother, thank you so much."

I'm going home to study this now, and I'll show you my true skills.

Believe it or not, I can even figure out several ways to eat Guanyin clay.

I'll bring it over for you to try in a bit.

Yang Dalin shoved him: "Get lost! Keep the clay for yourself, I don't want it. And don't experiment on your sister-in-law, rice grains, and rainwater. Besides, where did you get that stuff?"

Sha Zhu quickly explained, "I was just bragging, and you actually believed me. I don't even have that kind of thing at home. You're really stupid."

"You stay here, I'll go home and study some recipes."

Yang Dalin was startled, thinking that Sha Zhu's family really had Guanyin clay.

He foolishly let the rice grains taste it again.

Mili is still young. If he dares to mess with the little girl, Yang Dalin would definitely beat Shazhu until his head is covered in bumps.

Unfortunately, Miya didn't give Yang Dalin the first chance to fight Sha Zhu.

The Qi family was preparing dinner in the evening.

Yang Dalin didn't let Mili go, so he let the little girl eat at the Qi family's house.

But before long, the screams of Sha Zhu could be heard coming from afar throughout the courtyard.

Yang Dalin opened the door and went out to take a look.

Miya grabbed a rolling pin and chased after Shazhu, hitting him.

Sha Zhu didn't dare to fight back, and Yang Dalin discovered that Mi Ya seemed to have some skills.

They specifically target areas with high pain receptors, and after the attack, it seems like nothing serious happens.

Sha Zhu ran while shouting, "Wife, I was wrong, I was wrong, please stop hitting me."

Miya shouted as she hit him, "I'll teach you to waste food! I'll teach you to waste oil!"

Sha Zhu howled and jumped up every now and then.

Aunt Qi and Yang Dalin, who had come out to watch the commotion, looked at each other in bewilderment. Yang Dalin, holding the happy Mili, asked, "Mili, has your sister practiced martial arts?"

Mili crossed her arms and said, "Yes, Brother Dalin, my sister can beat up four or five bad guys."

My older sister is amazing!

Yang Dalin glanced at Aunt Qi, who seemed a little embarrassed.

I never expected that the seemingly weak woman I introduced would be so agile, able to chase after Sha Zhu and fight him.

Aunt Qi quickly called out to Mi Ya, who was about to chase after them to the hanging flower gate, "Xiao Mi, stop! What's wrong?"

When Miya heard Aunt Qi call to stop, she immediately stopped in her tracks.

Feeling embarrassed, he walked towards Qi Jia.

The screams of Sha Zhu just now attracted a lot of people in the courtyard.

It's the weekend, so everyone's out to watch the excitement.

Miya seemed to realize her embarrassment only now.

He walked up to Aunt Qi with his head down.

Qi Yulan originally wanted to invite Mi Ya to her house to ask what was going on.

Seeing that a crowd had already gathered, Yang Dalin quickly stopped his aunt and whispered in her ear, "Auntie, let's talk things out in the yard. Don't go inside, or people won't know what to say about your sister-in-law."

It's better to explain things clearly in public.

Aunt Qi thought it made sense. They had only been married for a few days. If word got out that Miya was a violent maniac who beat her husband for no reason, that wouldn't do.

It's better to make things clear in front of everyone.

Nowadays, people say that everyone is equal and women hold up half the sky, but in people's minds, men still hold the sky.

If a woman dares to hit a man with a stick, and this gets out, people who don't know the situation will spread all sorts of rumors.

Qi Yulan called out to Sha Zhu, who was peeking out from behind the hanging flower gate, "Zhu Zi, come here. Mi Ya won't be making a move for now."

Come over and explain yourself.

Then Aunt Qi snatched the wooden stick from Mi Ya's hand.

Miya didn't exert any force; her hand loosened, and the stick ended up in Aunt Qi's hand. Qi Yulan then handed the stick to Yang Dalin.

Sha Zhu carefully observed each step as he walked over.

Then, seeing more and more people gathering, she took the initiative to call out, "Auntie, this is a misunderstanding, it's nothing serious."

Yang Dalin interjected, "Brother Zhu, you should explain the whole story in front of everyone. It's not good for them to fight just a few days after getting married."

Sha Zhu quickly explained, "What fight? Da Linzi, don't talk nonsense. I was just the one who got beaten up. I didn't fight back."

"If you don't believe me, ask your sister-in-law."

When the onlookers heard that Sha Zhu, the most reckless guy in the yard, had been beaten by his wife but hadn't dared to fight back, they all laughed after a few words of encouragement.

Especially Sha Zhu's pitiful appearance, it's really laughable.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong then walked to the front of the crowd.

The two of them asked what had happened.

Just as Miya was about to explain, Shazhu pulled her back and said, "Let me explain, wife, let me explain."

Um, it's the weekend today, and I'm thinking of trying out some new recipes tonight.

Then I added a bit too much oil and whole grains.

My wife felt sorry for me and mistakenly thought I was wasting money.

Before I could explain, my wife picked up a stick.

As soon as I saw it, I ran outside without having time to explain.

My wife didn't even hit me. I screamed on purpose. Anyone who's been beaten as a child knows that the louder you scream, the less likely you are to be beaten later.

Anyone with experience knows this.
