Chapter 11 One has a sharp tongue, the other has a tough hand
Yu Li was not feeling well, so she naturally couldn't go out for dinner.
Shen Zhishou had no choice but to buy food outside.
"Just buy some vegetables, don't waste money!"
Before Shen Zhishou left, Yu Li gave him a special instruction.
Shen Zhishou smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
However, I'm still quite relieved that at least my wife isn't a glutton.
However, Shen Zhishou is a foodie.
Unfortunately, he was short of money and needed to make ends meet with the remaining funds. Even if Shen Zhishou was greedy, he had to restrain himself, otherwise, the northwest wind would not be able to fill his stomach.
In the end, Shen Zhishou only bought a bag of steamed buns, a few cucumbers, and some braised dishes, and then made a cucumber salad himself.
With a touch of braised flavor added to the cucumber salad, this dish could be considered a meat dish.
Just as the two were enjoying their dinner together, the men who worked in the courtyard returned home.
The fact that Shen Zhishou and Yu Li got married naturally became a rare topic of conversation in every household.
Yan Jiecheng returned empty-handed after failing to find work, and he also heard the news.
Upon hearing the news, Yan Jiecheng was completely devastated.
His wife has remarried!
Moreover, she married Shen Zhishou, whom she had just met!
Why is this happening?
Yan Jiecheng didn't need to think too much to attribute the cause to the house.
"It's all your fault!"
Yan Jiecheng kicked over a stool, shouting, "If you weren't so stingy with the rent, Yu Li wouldn't have divorced me!"
"You owe me my wife!"
Yan Jiecheng screamed hysterically.
Yan Bugui remained silent.
Yang Ruihua remained silent as well.
They knew that it was indeed their fault.
However, things have already come to this point, what can they do?
The commotion at the Yan family's place was quite loud, and all the residents in the courtyard heard it, but no one came to watch the excitement, simply because the matter was rather complicated and not something to be proud of.
Shen Zhishou and Yu Li were staying in the back room, so they naturally heard Yan Jiecheng's roar.
"Every pitiful person has something hateful about them!"
Shen Zhishou didn't think Yan Jiecheng was innocent.
He's already married, but he has absolutely no say in the Yan family.
He failed to establish himself properly, and as a result, he lost his wife. Whose fault is that?
If he had even a shred of ambition, he should understand that his family's behavior was unacceptable.
Unfortunately, it wasn't just Shi Yanbugui who wanted to take advantage of others; Yan Jiecheng had the same mentality.
"You're still laughing!"
Yu Li glared at Shen Zhishou when she saw his grinning face.
Shen Zhishou wasn't annoyed and continued to laugh, saying, "Of course I have to laugh! If they hadn't been so ungrateful, where would I have gotten such a good wife like you?"
She has an outstanding figure, striking looks, and is also cultured.
If it weren't for a stroke of luck, Shen Zhishou would never have been able to marry such a wonderful wife as Yu Li.
This is not self-deprecation, but the truth.
A good girl is always sought after by many families.
After dinner, Yu Li cleaned up the dishes and lunchboxes and took them to the tap in the middle courtyard to wash them. Shen Zhishou stayed by her side to prevent certain people from making sarcastic remarks.
However, the two of them ate their meal a little too early; while Yu Li was washing the dishes, most of the other families were just starting to eat.
No one came out of the house until they returned to the main house.
In those days, not only was there a lack of food and clothing, but there were also very few entertainment options.
After dinner, in homes with radios, you can listen to the radio.
As for most families, they either get together to chat for a while or go to bed early.
Therefore, the birth rate was very high in this era.
After all, the night is long, and what else can a couple with nothing to do besides doing what they love to do?
Having nothing to do, Shen Zhishou turned off the lights early and lay down on the bed with Yu Li.
Just like the song says, when two people feel cold and lean on each other, it's warm, very warm!
……
Unfortunately, this warmth did not last long.
Suddenly, a disturbance broke out at the Intermediate Court.
Then, it was another college-wide meeting!
"Let's go see what's going on!"
Shen Zhishou simply pulled Yu Li out with him, since the night was long and he had no desire to sleep.
Soon, the couple arrived at the Central Court and found a seat in the corridor.
Shen Zhishou brought two stools over.
He had considered this situation when he bought the furniture. After all, the whole courtyard meeting was a regular event in this courtyard house, and they couldn't stand every time!
As the couple sat down, they saw Sha Zhu and Xu Damao sitting on long benches on either side of the square table. Just like in the drama, the two were a bickering couple.
I just don't know why these two started fighting.
Before long, everyone had arrived, and the three stewards took their places.
Second Uncle Liu Haizhong habitually spoke first, briefly explaining why the hospital-wide meeting was being held.
Sha Zhu, you've hit Xu Damao again!
"Now, you two tell me, why did you fight this time?"
Surprisingly, Liu Haizhong did not hand over the presiding power of the college-wide meeting to Yi Zhonghai, but instead directly began to ask the two about the reason for their fight.
"He deserves a beating!"
Sha Zhu was perfectly justified.
Xu Damao was unconvinced and argued, "Uncle, Uncle, Uncle, you be the judge. I did a good deed but got no reward. When I got home from get off work today, I heard from my wife that Comrade Shen, who just moved in, got married. After I finished eating, I ran into Shazhu while washing the dishes and asked him when he was going to find a partner."
"As a result, after only a few words, he started hitting me!"
"You have to stand up for me in this matter!"
Xu Damao looked aggrieved.
Sha Zhu retorted, not to be outdone, "Xu Damao, stop pretending! Is that what you call kindness? You're clearly mocking me!"
"Do you think I can't tell?"
"You idiot Zhu, you're biting the hand that feeds you!"
Xu Damao's only redeeming quality is his stubbornness.
Sha Zhu may not be as eloquent as Xu Damao, but he's a tough guy.
At that moment, Sha Zhu lunged at Xu Damao again, yelling, "Who are you calling a dog?"
Seeing the two fighting again, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong rushed over and pulled them apart.
"Behave yourselves!"
"You two grew up together, why can't you get along?"
Yi Zhonghai spoke earnestly and patiently.
"Xu Damao, what about you? Why did you provoke Zhu Zi?"
"Haven't you had enough of being beaten?"
Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Damao and said, "Tell me, how many department-wide meetings have we held recently because of you two?"
"Grandpa, I don't agree with that. I never started it. It was always Sha Zhu who attacked first. How did it become my fault?"
Xu Damao expressed his dissatisfaction.
"If you don't provoke Zhu Zi, will he hit you?"
Yi Zhonghai immediately slammed his fist on the table. "We've lived in the same courtyard for so many years. Tell me, when did Zhu Zi ever attack you for no reason?"
