Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Jia Dongxu eventually died.

Out of his responsibility as a master and feeling guilty, Yi Zhonghai took the initiative to take charge of Jia Dongxu's funeral.

He borrowed a cart from the hospital, covered Jia Dongxu's body with a piece of cloth, and pulled it back to the courtyard overnight.

Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu followed behind, supporting each other.

I cried all the way I walked.

It was the middle of the night and it was pitch dark and I was pushing a dead body.

Even though the other party was his apprentice, Yi Zhonghai still felt scared.

Especially when the cart hit a rock halfway through the journey, it shook a bit and one of Jia Dongxu's hands emerged from the cloth.

This scene frightened Yi Zhonghai so much that he almost cried out.

In the end, he pretended to be calm and sent Jia Dongxu home.

Originally, Yi Zhonghai suggested sending Jia Dongxu directly to the crematorium the next day.

What matters in this era is keeping everything simple, both at weddings and funerals.

But Jia Zhang disagreed.

She was a superstitious person and decided that if she didn't send Jia Dongxu back, his soul would never be able to find its way home.

As she has been summoning spirits for many years, she also knows some feudal superstitions.

After Yi Zhonghai carried Jia Dongxu's body back, he didn't even have time to rest and was busy setting up the mourning hall.

Early the next morning, when the people in the Central Courtyard saw the simple mourning hall of the Jia family, they knew that Jia Dongxu had passed away.

Everyone was also quite surprised. After all, everyone had said that Jia Dongxu was lucky and could survive such a serious injury.

But now he is dead.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the Jia family's decision to set up the mourning hall in the courtyard.

But none of the neighbors in the courtyard would bring bad luck to Jia Zhang at this time.

After all, her son just died. If he were to confront her now, he would be scolded by her.

Therefore, the people in the courtyard basically kept their doors tightly closed these two days, so as to out of sight and out of mind.

Although other people didn't dare to get close, Sha Zhu was an exception.

When he learned the news of Jia Dongxu's death, he felt a little happy in his heart.

Now that Jia Dongxu is dead, Sister Qin will be single.

Then it's not impossible that something beyond friendship would happen between her and me.

Shazhu doesn't know what his mentality is now.

But he still chose to follow his heart and go to the Jia family to help.

Especially when he saw Qin Huairu in mourning, his heart began to beat fast.

As the saying goes, if you want to look pretty, you have to be filial.

Qin Huairu, a newly widow, is very attractive to Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu even had the urge to confess his feelings directly to Qin Huairu.

But when he saw Bang Geng standing next to him, he calmed down instantly.

Xiaodang is okay, but Banggeng is Jia Dongxu's son after all.

Even if He Yuzhu was greedy for Qin Huairu, he would not help someone else raise a son.

Forget it, I'd better marry a virgin girl.

Not only Sha Zhu has feelings for Qin Huairu, but Yi Zhonghai does too.

In addition to paying attention to Jia Dongxu's injury, Yi Zhonghai's biggest concern during this period was finding someone to have a child.

But this has to be done secretly.

Yi Zhonghai didn't dare let anyone know.

And during these two days when he was helping to take care of Jia Dongxu's funeral, he also noticed Qin Huairu.

Looking at Qin Huairu's seductive little appearance, Yi Zhonghai felt a burning sensation in his heart.

In fact, the best choice is Qin Huairu.

She has given birth to two children and is now pregnant with another.

This shows that she is fertile.

And the most important thing is that Qin Huairu is beautiful.

If Zhao Guilan is gone in the future, Jia Zhangshi will also be gone.

He might as well just marry Qin Huairu. Just thinking about it makes him feel that his life is full of hope.

Xiaodang is still young and a girl, so the child in her and Qin Huairu's belly can be raised as her own child.

It's just that this kid Banggeng makes him feel a little disgusted.

It’s really hard to get close to a naughty kid.

Well, if I really get together with Qin Huairu, I have to find a way to get rid of Bang Geng.

How can a level 8 worker like me raise someone else's son?

Jia Dongxu didn't know that someone was already thinking about his wife right after he died.

And Banggeng didn't know that he had become the most disliked wild child.

He is now a teenager.

Suddenly knowing that his father was dead, he fell silent.

He also knows how miserable it is for a child without a father.

There was a kid in his class who had no father and was often bullied by others.

After Jia Dongxu died, Jia Zhang originally wanted to keep the body for three days.

But it's summer now, and Jia Dongxu's body cannot be kept for long.

So the next day he asked Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu to help send the body to the crematorium for cremation.

In the evening, Jia Zhang returned home with Jia Dongxu's urn.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but shudder when she saw Jia Dongxu's urn and asked:

"Mom, aren't Dongxu's ashes placed over there in the cemetery? Why did you bring it back?"

The Jia family does not have an ancestral hall to place Jia Dongxu's ashes. Qin Huairu does not want to keep these unlucky things at home, even if they are the ashes of her deceased husband.

"Huai Ru, I have something to tell you."

Jia Zhang was serious for once, which made Qin Huairu a little uncomfortable.

"Mom, just say whatever you want to say."

Jia Zhang held the urn and said calmly:

“Dongxu is dead, and now you are a widow like me.

Before Dongxu died, he told you not to get married, but mom is an experienced person and knows how hard life is for a widow. Without a man to rely on, and surrounded by a group of jackals and tigers, we widows can only live in fear all day long.

So if you want to get married, I won’t stop you.”

Qin Huairu thought she had misheard, and wondered if her mother-in-law was crazy to actually consider her.

She had naturally thought about this question.

Jia Dongxu died and she became a widow.

But she is not yet thirty this year.

She doesn't want to be a widow for the rest of her life.

But it is unrealistic to ask her to prepare to remarry now, after all, she is still pregnant.

Just as Qin Huairu was about to speak, Jia Zhang continued:

"I'll give you two choices. If you want to remarry, then after you give birth to the child, find someone to marry you. As for the child, I won't let you take it away. They are from my Jia family and must stay in the Jia family."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu said anxiously, "Mom! I can't abandon Banggeng and Xiaodang."

Jia Zhang sneered in her heart. She naturally knew that Qin Huairu was reluctant to leave her child. She said this to ask Qin Huairu not to remarry and stay in the Jia family to work like a slave for her.

"Okay, in that case you have another choice. You stay in the Jia family, and you inherit Dongxu's job at the factory, while I will be in charge of the household affairs. But I have one condition that you must agree to."

"What conditions?"

"After this baby is born, I'll go to the hospital with you to get the IUD removed."
