Neither of them spoke; instead, they both sighed.
After a long while, Ma Hua turned and walked towards his home. Since so many changes had occurred at the courtyard house…
The once bustling courtyard house gradually became deserted.
Yan Bugui also stood still, leisurely watching the departing figure of Ma Hua.
Time flies, and before we knew it, spring had turned to autumn, and more than a decade had passed.
In the past decade, not only in the courtyard houses, but also in the outside world, many major events have gradually occurred.
Unlike others, Ma Hua did not stir up trouble over the past ten years or so, but lived a peaceful and stable life with Qin Jingru.
After all, I have my own system-controlled courtyard; the resources inside are more than enough to earn me a small fortune.
It could easily support the entire city of Beijing.
After Qin Jingru came of age, Ma Hua immediately applied for a marriage certificate.
After Ma Hua and Qin Jingru got married, they bought a courtyard house with one entrance through Liu Ge's connections.
They moved directly out of the courtyard house.
Ma Hua sighed as he held Qin Jingru in his arms, finally calming down.
Qin Jingru seemed to sense that her husband was in a bad mood, and immediately nestled her head against Ma Hua's chest.
Unfortunately, this beautiful moment was immediately interrupted by two voices: "I want a hug too."
"I want one too, I want one too."
"Okay, okay, okay." Hearing the voice, Ma Hua immediately looked into the house and saw only two little kids.
He ran out of the house.
These are the children Ma Hua and Qin Jingru had in the past few years: Ma Zining and Ma Zixuan.
Qin Jingru also lowered her head, stuck out her little tongue, and blushed with embarrassment.
Then she turned to look at her two children.
"You're so big now, why are you hugging me? Have you finished your homework?" Qin Jingru asked the two children with a stern face.
"Hmph, Mom's so mean. I finished my homework a long time ago," Ma Zixuan made a face at Qin Jingru.
"Okay, okay, go play for a while after you finish your homework. Remember to balance work and rest."
Ma Hua hurriedly stopped Qin Jingru, who was about to talk about the child.
Jingru is good in every way, and obedient, but she's far too strict when it comes to her child's education.
For MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association), if the children like to learn, great; if they don't, so be it.
There are experts in every profession, let alone children who are still young. They need to grow up happily.
But Qin Jingru didn't see it that way. Deep down, Jingru had always felt inferior because she lacked education.
After marrying Ma Hua, she worked tirelessly to improve herself. And after having children...
They are even stricter when it comes to disciplining their children's studies.
Qin Jingru glanced at Ma Hua with a hint of helplessness before saying to the two children, "Alright, go play for a while."
The two children cheered and ran outside.
After the two children left, Qin Jingru turned to Ma Hua and said, "Ma Hua, do you still remember Lou Xiao'e?"
“Lou Xiao’e. I remember her.” Ma Hua heard Qin Jingru mention Lou Xiao’e.
Memories long buried in her mind began to surface. How could Lou Xiao'e not recognize him?
"Lou Xiao'e, what's wrong?" Ma Hua thought Qin Jingru had found out about his affair with Lou Xiao'e.
He looked at Qin Jingru with some doubt.
"No, I just passed by the courtyard house today and saw her at the entrance," Qin Jingru shook her head.
I didn't say much.
"A courtyard house, huh?" Ma Hua glanced in the direction of a courtyard house from afar when Qin Jingru mentioned it.
In fact, Ma Hua had already secretly met with Lou Xiao'e long ago.
After learning that Lou Xiao'e was not pregnant with his child.
Ma Hua was still somewhat disappointed, but deep down he had also let it go, and that this was actually quite good.
Although Ma Hua has moved out over the past ten years or so, he has not lived in the courtyard house.
However, Ma Hua was still aware of what happened at the courtyard house.
Not long after the deaf old lady passed away, Yang Cuihua also died suddenly due to a relapse of her heart disease.
Liu Haizhong and his son were arrested before they could even escape Beijing. After their arrest, they were immediately given peanuts (a form of punishment).
Sha Zhu was also destined to be sent to the same farm as Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai's family.
Qin Huairu couldn't bear the hardships of farm life, and she started having affairs again there.
Yi Zhonghai could no longer tolerate the pointing fingers and whispers from others.
They bought rat poison, and the whole family was wiped out.
Poor Sha Zhu. Yi Zhonghai had Sha Zhu cook for him, and Sha Zhu ended up dying because of it.
He Yushui is a bit pitiful, especially since Sha Zhu paid for the peanuts.
After this incident, He Yushui immediately sold her house in Beijing.
She married a local police officer from a poor family.
They were living a pretty good life.
The old courtyard house has been occupied by a new batch of residents.
But Yan Bugui, the third uncle of the courtyard house, still works as the gatekeeper of the courtyard house.
This courtyard house, built during the Qing Dynasty, seems to have changed, yet it also seems unchanged.
The End.
