Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Knowing that Sha Zhu's blind date had failed, Qin Huairu went over to clean up his room and did his laundry out of guilt.

With Qin Huairu helping him with work, Sha Zhu's mood finally improved a lot.

He looked at Qin Huairu's back as she worked, and Sha Zhu couldn't help swallowing.

It would be great if Sister Qin was my wife.

In order to get married, Li Kuiyong spent most of the money he had earned in the past few months to buy a yard near his home.

The yard is not big, but it has its own entrance and house.

He kept two of the rooms for himself as his wedding house, and the rest was left for his younger brothers and sisters.

Knowing that he had bought a new house, Wang Jianjun specially bought a set of furniture for them as a wedding gift.

Shen Chuxia also gave Li Xiuzhi a new set of clothes for her wedding.

Li Xiuzhi was so moved by the couple's actions that she almost cried.

Even Li Kuiyong's eyes were red.

The banquet was held in the newly purchased yard.

Li Kuiyong only set up four tables for his wedding.

There was one table for each of the family, relatives and friends, and another table for Li Xiuzhi’s fellow townsmen and friends.

Li Xiuzhi's family was unable to attend her wedding.

But Li Kuiyong still sent fifty yuan and some food coupons to his father-in-law.

He listened to Li Xiuzhi talk about her family situation.

My father-in-law is not a cruel person.

If he really couldn't afford to live, he wouldn't have let his daughter flee from famine.

Many people fled famine with Li Xiuzhi.

A bit lost on the road.

Some died of illness on the way.

Only a few people came to the city of Sijiu with her support.

It is not easy to survive, and it is even more difficult to marry into a good family like Li Xiuzhi.

Most of them just marry themselves casually, or marry someone casually, just to survive.

On her wedding day, Li Xiuzhi wore the dress that Shen Chuxia picked for her.

During this period, Li Xiuzhi's health has improved a lot and she looks more beautiful.

As for Li Kuiyong, he couldn't stop smiling the whole day.

What’s interesting is that Wang Jianjun was at the same table with Zhong Yuemin in the evening.

Although this guy is a scumbag, he has the capital to be a scumbag.

He has a really handsome face.

Wang Jianjun also asked Li Kuiyong.

That day, Zhong Yuemin was already on his way to rescue her.

But he was stopped by Zhou Xiaobai on the way.

Zhou Xiaobai was also a ruthless guy. He smashed his bicycle chain with a brick.

Zhong Yuemin didn't have a car so he had to run there.

In the end it was a step too late.

When he arrived, the Public Security Bureau people were already cleaning up the mess.

Zhong Yuemin and Zhou Xiaobai had a big fight over this matter and they even broke up.

In other words, Zhou Xiaobai kept pestering him, but Zhong Yuemin was determined to leave this woman.

He hates being bound the most.

In addition, since Zhou Xiaobai is so strong, it is impossible for the two of them to be together.

Wang Jianjun was actually happy for Zhou Xiaobai.

This kid Zhong Yuemin is a playboy.

If the two of them really get together and end up getting married it will only be unfortunate.

However, Zhong Yuemin was a little surprised when he saw Wang Jianjun and Shen Chuxia.

He had met Shen Chuxia once, and he had the impression that Li Yuanchao had been pursuing her before.

I didn't expect that this girl actually got married.

Zhong Yuemin felt a little envious of Wang Jianjun.

After all, Shen Chuxia is much prettier than Zhou Xiaobai, and she seems to have a good temper.

Unlike Zhou Xiaobai, that strong woman, who not only has a bad temper but also has a strong desire for control.

Li Kuiyong also invested a lot of money in this marriage.

The banquet was very sumptuous.

Four of the six courses were meat dishes.

Such a display was considered a luxury in this age of famine.

The main reason is that Li Kuiyong gets goods at a low price from Wang Jianjun.

Otherwise, ordinary people cannot afford to host such a banquet.

Even though he came from a well-off family, Zhong Yuemin was a little shocked when he saw these dishes.

But he remembered that his elementary school classmate came from a poor family.

It was really rare to have such food during the famine years.

At the end of the banquet, the dishes are clean and don't need to be washed.

Wait for the banquet to end.

Only Li Kuiyong and Li Xiuzhi were left in the new house.

Li Xiuzhi looked at Li Kuiyong with some nervousness and anticipation.

Li Kuiyong rummaged through the cupboard and found an iron box which he handed to Li Xiuzhi.

"Xiuzhi, we are married now. From now on, the family's money will be in your hands."

Li Xiuzhi took the iron box and opened it. Seeing that there were about four or five hundred yuan in it, she couldn't help but said in surprise:

"Kui Yong! Why is there so much money?"

"Not much, I had a thousand dollars before. But I spent a lot to buy this yard."

"That's not a small amount. I only make six or seven yuan a month making matchboxes at the street office."

"Wife, this is the second thing I want to tell you. Although our family doesn't have a lot of money, we still have an income of about three or four hundred yuan a month."

When Li Xiuzhi heard this, she was so scared that she almost threw the iron box to the ground.

"Kui...Kui Yong, you won't do anything illegal, will you?"

Li Kuiyong hesitated for a few days before deciding to tell Li Xiuzhi what he had done.

After all, we have to make a living in the future. Although it is illegal to sell things in the Pigeon Market, the people above us will turn a blind eye to it.

After all, we have to leave people a way to survive.

Living with Li Xiuzhi in the future, there are some things that cannot be hidden.

And he wasn't going to hide it.

Li Kuiyong then told the story of how he and Wang Jianjun worked together to sell things.

Although Li Xiuzhi was still a little worried, she felt relieved when she knew she was just going to the Pigeon Market to sell things.

The Pigeon Market is a feature of Sijiu City, but there are similar things in Bashu as well.

It's just a private transaction anyway, so just be careful and everything will be fine.

“Kuiyong, let me go with you when you go to sell things in the future. Kuiwu and the others are still young, and I can’t let them work so hard as their sister-in-law.”

"It's okay. Kuiwu and the others are already grown up. They can work efficiently."

Li Kuiyong felt relieved when he saw that Li Xiuzhi didn't mind his business.

Li Xiuzhi thought for a while and then said:

"Kui Yong, we can't keep selling things in Pigeon Market. After all, this job is not allowed in public. I think you should find a formal job as a cover."

Li Kuiyong also knows this, you don’t have a job but you earn so much money.

If someone reports you at that time, you will be in trouble.

"I originally had a job, but because I offended Li Yuanchao before, his family used their connections to ruin my job."

When talking about his brother's work, Li Kuiyong felt a little helpless.

Only after he got married and started a family did he realize how stupid he had been.

I had to follow the little bastard to fight.

Not only did he almost lose his life, but now he has also lost his job.

"Have you ever thought about asking Brother Jianjun for help? He's so capable, maybe he has a solution?"

"But Brother Wang has already helped me so much, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to ask him for more."

Li Kuiyong is an honest man. He also thought that Wang Jianjun might have a way, but he didn't want to keep bothering his benefactor.
