Courtyard House: They all say I'm a good person

Chapter 10: No comparison, no harm

The four great joys of life!

Wedding night!

There were no wedding candles, only the bridal chamber.

Actually, they're all the same.

Shen Zhishou felt that life was really full of promise.

……

As the two were getting intimate in the back room, Yan Jiecheng happened to walk by outside. Looking at the large red "double happiness" character that hadn't been torn off the door, he felt an indescribable melancholy.

The house is gone, and so is my wife!

All of this was just to save a few dollars in rent.

Yan Jiecheng was furious.

However, in this family, he had no say in anything.

He doesn't even have a stable job, so his income is naturally very random.

Economic status determines family status!

Yan Jiecheng ate the candy, but the sweetness in his mouth couldn't mask the bitterness in his heart.

He looked at the big red "double happiness" character he had pasted himself, silently walked out of the courtyard, thinking about the neighborhood office. For him, life was just about the present hardships.

……

Shen Zhishou had no idea of ​​Yan Jiecheng's misery; he was currently riding high on his success.

His young wife was even more delicious than he had imagined, and more importantly, she had a great figure. Perhaps his mind was not open enough before, and he had put some restrictions on her, which gave Shen Zhishou an unexpected surprise.

Unfortunately, with his young wife newly blessed, Shen Zhishou couldn't just think about his own comfort; he had to consider his wife's experience as well.

After Yu Li fell into a deep sleep, Shen Zhishou quietly got up, left a note for Yu Li, and then left the house.

After locking the door, Shen Zhishou hurriedly headed towards the street office.

He wants to build a kitchen in the back room, and he needs to hire a professional bricklayer to come to his house. He needs to contact the construction team from the neighborhood committee.

When Shen Zhishou arrived at the subdistrict office, he asked the old man at the gatehouse and found the subdistrict office construction team's office. He briefly explained the situation, paid the deposit, and said they would come the next day.

The construction team covers all materials, labor, and costs, and it's incredibly cheap.

However, after setting up the kitchen, Shen Zhishou had spent almost all the money he had borrowed from the village.

In the days to come, he would have to be careful with his spending until he received his salary.

After Shen Zhishou hurriedly returned to the courtyard and opened the door of the back room, he found that Yu Li was still asleep. Then he went to the middle courtyard to wash up.

Coincidentally, Shen Zhishou ran into Qin Huairu again.

Well, the title of "Laundry Girl in the Courtyard" is truly well-deserved.

I started washing early in the morning, and I was still washing at noon. I just don't know if I'll have to wash again tonight.

However, once Shen Zhishou saw what kind of clothes Qin Huairu was washing, he felt relieved.

Qin Huairu washed children's clothes.

"Sister-in-law, are you busy?"

"what!"

Qin Huairu responded, and was taken aback when she saw Shen Zhishou washing clothes. "Comrade Shen, didn't you marry Yu Li? Why are you doing the laundry?"

"Oh, she's not feeling well!"

Shen Zhishou calmly replied, then added, "Besides, it's just two pieces of clothing, what difference does it make who washes them?"

To Shen Zhishou, this was just an ordinary matter, but it had a profound impact on Qin Huairu.

It doesn't matter who washes it or not.

From the time Qin Huairu married into the Jia family, she was always the one washing the clothes in the house.

Her mother-in-law doesn't help with any housework at all; she just spends all her time making shoes, and it takes her half a year to finish a single pair.

As for her man?

Qin Huairu's feelings suddenly became complicated when she thought of Jia Dongxu.

They say there's no harm in comparison, and that's so true!

Before Shen Zhishou came to the courtyard house, Qin Huairu thought that Jia Dongxu was very good to her, very considerate and gentle.

Compared to Shen Zhishou, Qin Huairu suddenly realized that Jia Dongxu's kindness towards her was all superficial. He would say that he would rest when he was tired and would occasionally ask Jia Zhangshi to lend a hand, but she did not slack off in doing what she was supposed to do. Her mother-in-law did not help, and Jia Dongxu pretended not to see it.

Shen Zhishou had no idea that his casual remark would have such a profound impact on Qin Huairu.

He simply did what he felt he should do.

After all, he's marrying a wife, not bringing home a maid.

Although Qin Huairu was not bad looking and had a voluptuous figure, Shen Zhishou did not pay much attention to her, after all, the necromancer from the Jia family was sitting right at the door!

Shen Zhishou quickly finished washing the clothes, picked up the basin, and left.

Not long after he left, Madam Jia Zhang arrived at the tap, snorted, and said, "Qin Huairu, you better behave yourself!"

"Mother-in-law, I didn't!"

Qin Huairu felt even more aggrieved.

"You'd better not have one!"

Madam Jia Zhang wasn't there to argue with Qin Huairu; she was there to warn her daughter-in-law.

It wasn't that Jia Zhangshi was petty, but rather that this daughter-in-law was simply too strikingly beautiful.

Normally, you idiot Zhu, you're always looking around, and Xu Damao isn't a good person either.

If we don't keep a close eye on things like this, Qin Huairu might do something drastic.

Qin Huairu felt wronged and wanted to cry, but she didn't dare to. If she cried, she didn't know what her mother-in-law would say next.

……

When Shen Zhishou returned home, Yu Li had just woken up. When she saw Shen Zhishou carrying a basin back, Yu Li was stunned for a moment.

"Where have you been?"

"I washed all the clothes we both took off!"

Shen Zhishou smiled.

Upon hearing this, Yu Li remained silent for a long time.

"What's wrong?"

"Still feeling unwell?"

Shen Zhishou went to the bedside, put his arm around Yu Li's slender waist, and kissed her on the cheek.

Yu Li glanced at Shen Zhishou and said, "The clothes are my responsibility to wash!"

"What are you saying?"

Shen Zhishou simply picked him up and said, "In our family, there's no such thing as who should or shouldn't do something. Whoever has time can do it."

"Besides, you're not feeling well!"

"Or have you already recovered?"

Shen Zhishou had just eaten meat and hadn't had enough. If Yu Li recovered, he would have to have a feast.

Upon seeing Shen Zhishou's appearance, Yu Li was startled and quickly pushed him away, saying, "No, I'm not ready yet. Let me rest!"

She was genuinely a little scared.

This man is really like a wild bull!

She felt weightless in his hands; he picked her up easily.

Thinking about those absurd poses and actions from before, Yu Li's face felt hot, as if she had a fever.

Seeing this, Shen Zhishou could only tell his brothers to be patient a little longer.

Haste makes waste, and good food is worth the wait!

After talking with Yu Li for a while, Shen Zhishou found a rope and went out to hang the clothes up.

As for the underwear, it can only be temporarily dried indoors near the window, thankfully there is still a breeze.

To be honest, the living experience in this reverse-facing house is really not good.

Tomorrow, when the construction team arrives, he'll have to ask if they can renovate this back room, ideally by creating a complete attic. Of course, the key is to open a window on the south wall, or at the very least, a skylight.
