Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 144 Jia Family Night Talk, Yan Bugui Prepares for a Rainy Day
Qin Huairu felt puzzled when she saw Jia Zhang's face changing constantly. She didn't know what this old woman was up to!

Although she has been married into the Jia family for quite some time, she has not had much contact with Jia Zhang!

This old woman was sent to a labor camp twice in one year? Even opera singers wouldn't dare to sing like this, right?

But this fact was starkly revealed in front of her. If the incident with the Street Office the last time she went home was included, this would be the third time!
Most people don’t do it once in their entire lives, but this weird mother-in-law does it two or three times a year. No one would believe it if others told her!

When she first entered the Jia family and served tea to her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang was still as fat as a pig!

At that time, she felt that the Jia family's living conditions were really good. It was not uncommon for people to gain so much weight these days, but they were quite rare!
At least before entering the Jia family, she didn't know that people could eat so much and become so fat!
Time flies, almost a year has passed, and now Jia Zhang has returned to her normal state. How unpredictable!

"Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu, come out and listen to the class!"

At this moment, Liu Haizhong's voice reached the Jia family, sounding a little exasperated!
"You're such a bureaucrat, you're trying to make things difficult for me, right? I won't go, let's see what you can do!"

Jia Zhang was just thinking of a strategy to regain control of the Jia family's "financial power"!

When she heard Liu Haizhong's voice, she cursed without thinking!
"Jia Zhang, are you serious?"

Jia Dongxu's face changed. He clearly heard Liu Haizhong's suppressed laughter, which seemed to be very uncomfortable!
How could Jia Dongxu, who grew up in a courtyard, not know what kind of person Liu Haizhong is? This man is extremely narrow-minded. Even though he tries to win people's hearts from time to time, if anyone offends him, he will definitely retaliate immediately!
His mother had just rejected Liu Haizhong's request, and the literacy campaign was personally arranged by Director Wang. If he refused to participate at this time, who knew how Liu Haizhong would take advantage of the situation!

The one who will suffer at that time will be his mother. He is really afraid that Jia Zhang will go in again!
He had no worries about getting married, but what about the children in the future?
The Jia family’s reputation is now very bad. The fact that Jia Zhang was sent to labor camps twice has become a hot topic in Nanluoguxiang and even at the steel mill!
If they go in again, the Jia family will become a complete laughing stock and will never be able to raise their heads again!

"Second Master, go over right away. Don't worry, our Jia family will definitely support Second Master's work!"

"Well, luckily Dongxu is a bit sensible, unlike some people who don't have enough labor education!"

Liu Haizhong was very upset about the refutation of his face, so he naturally seized every opportunity to ridicule Jia Zhang. It would be best if she didn't come to class!

"I..."

Jia Zhang was about to explode. She was sent to a labor camp, but what did Liu Haizhong mean by slapping her in the face? Was she easy to bully?
"Mom, please stop talking. This is something that Director Wang from the Street Office personally arranged. We can't go against it. Do you still want to go in?"

"I..."

Jia Zhang wanted to refute, but when she saw Jia Dongxu's unquestionable look, she immediately swallowed her words!
At this moment, Jia Dongxu looked too much like the angry old Jia. It was a look that still made her tremble with fear whenever she thought about it!
When Lao Jia was alive, if he showed her this look, she would have to be prepared to defend herself, because a beating was inevitable!
She has such a hot temper, why did she respect her mother-in-law when she was young? Wasn't it because she was educated by Lao Jia?
You are aggressive towards outsiders, but as long as you don't refute Lao Jia in front of outsiders, then there will be no problem. But try not giving Lao Jia face in front of outsiders?
Try it if you don't respect your parents-in-law at home? Lao Jia will definitely beat them up with fists and kicks. He really beats them up!
There is no other way but to beat him. Otherwise, you will have nowhere to go if you keep asking for a divorce!
Now she saw that kind of look again, and reflexively she didn't dare to refute!

It’s not that I’m afraid of Jia Dongxu, but it’s as if old Jia has reappeared!
Qin Huairu looked at this scene in surprise. Is this man in name so powerful?

One look made the fierce mother-in-law dare not speak. Is there something about Jia Dongxu that she doesn't know?

Thinking of this, I was suddenly shocked. It seems that I still need to wait and see. I can't think that I have figured out Jia Dongxu!
If Jia Dongxu knew what the two were thinking, he would probably be at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It was just a glare at his mother. Was it necessary to make such a big deal out of it?

"Huai Ru, put on more clothes. Mom, you too, hurry up. You must cooperate in this matter. There is no room for negotiation!"

"Got it, Dongxu!"

Jia Dongxu had to remind them clearly, he knew Jia Zhang's temper very well, and the Jia family could not afford any more trouble!

He was under too much pressure. Ever since he found out that his family’s money had become waste paper, his stress increased dramatically!
Qin Huairu hasn't given birth yet. If she does, he will be under even greater pressure. The whole family depends on his wages, and even if he hires a master, the master won't really teach him the skills. It's too difficult!
Jia Zhangshi cannot read and Qin Huairu has not graduated from primary school, but they all have to participate in literacy campaign. This is the policy and it cannot be questioned or changed!

When Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu arrived, Yan Bugui had already started. Looking at Jia Zhang, Yan Bugui shook his head and sighed!
"Jia Zhang, Jia Zhang, it's all right if it's anything else, but you're really hopeless and you're standing to listen to the class!

Huairu is heavy, Ruihua, ask Jia Dongxu to get Huairu a stool. This kid is not considerate at all!"

"Hey, I'll be there right away!"

Yan Bugui not only dealt with Jia Zhang, but also brought disaster to Jia Dongxu!
After Yan Bugui finished speaking, the others whispered and nodded in agreement!

Jia Zhang was not convinced. Why did she stand while others sat? Yan Bugui, the old man, was deliberately looking for trouble. How could she tolerate it?

"Yan Bugui, what do you mean? Everyone else is sitting, why do I have to stand?"

"You are late for class. This is the classroom rule. If you don't believe me, you can ask your Dongxu. Jia Dongxu has the most say in this matter!"

Jia Dongxu was delivering a stool to Qin Huairu when he heard Yan Bugui's words, his face suddenly darkened. Wasn't this a hint to him?

Yan Bugui was his teacher. When he was in school, he was often late!

It can be said that as long as the first class in the morning is Yan Bugui’s, he will definitely stand until the end of the get out of class!
"Uncle, you are scolding me. This is the rule of class. If you are late, you have to stand to listen to the class. Mom, you better cooperate!"

Jia Dongxu could only support it. After all, whether the literacy campaign could be completed depended entirely on Yan Bugui. If Yan Bugui was unwilling, Jia Zhang would be in trouble!

Jia Zhang looked at her son in disbelief. "Shouldn't you speak for me at this time? Why are you standing on Yan Bugui's side?"
Jia Dongxu shook his head helplessly, Mother, please cooperate with me, otherwise this teacher Yan will be difficult to deal with, the classroom is his home court!
Having been a teacher for such a long time, what means does Yan Bugui have? He is a professional in disciplining "students", no one in this compound can compare to him!

Watching Jia Dongxu leave quickly, Jia Zhangshi seemed to have not reacted yet and seemed not to understand!

“Today we are learning these two words!”

Yan Bugui wrote two words on the prepared blackboard: shrew!
After finishing writing, I picked up the lantern. The faint light flickered, but everyone could still see clearly!

"Read these two words: shrew!"

At that time, there was no Pinyin to assist in learning Chinese characters, so everyone could only rely on memory. Everyone tried hard to remember these two words, but they did not forget that the Street Office would conduct an assessment to test the learning effect!

Jia Zhang's face darkened. Could this be about her? She couldn't remember how many people had scolded her like this!

"'Shrew', I'm sure everyone has heard of these two words, and knows that they are insults to women, but do you know the true meaning of these two words?"

"do not know!"

"Okay, I'll explain it to you! A shrew is a combination of being unreasonable, fierce, and rude. There's another story here. Do you want to hear it?"

"I want to hear it! Uncle, tell us about it!"

How boring is learning Chinese characters? But we can hear stories, which immediately arouses our interest!

The most important thing is that they seem to know Yan Bugui’s purpose, which is to target Jia Zhang. After all, these explanations are too consistent with Jia Zhang’s temperament!

"It is said that during the Song Dynasty, there was a man named Chen Jichang. He was a friend of Su Dongpo. You should all know Su Dongpo's name, right?"

"Know!"

How could people living at the foot of the imperial city not know the name of Su Dongpo? The inkstones and other objects used by Dongpo are all priced sky-high!
"Okay, let me continue. Chen Jichang is famous for being henpecked. He has a special hobby, which is to keep singing girls!
. . . . . .

Su Dongpo realized Liu's power and thought she was a shrew. When she quarreled and cursed, her voice sounded like a lion's roar. He even wrote a letter to tell his good friend Wu Deren about it, "I suddenly heard the lion's roar from the east of the river, and my walking stick fell from my hand, and I was at a loss!"

"Haha, Uncle Three, another one!"

"No, that won't work. If you behave well every day, I can tell you stories. If you don't behave well, you still want to hear stories? Storytellers need to get some money for telling stories. Now let's get back to the point. After the evolution of our ancestors, the word shrew has more meanings!
Then I ask everyone, are there such people in our compound?
I think there are some, and they are among us. I hope that after learning these two words, they will never appear in our compound again!"

After Yan Bugui finished speaking, everyone looked at Jia Zhangshi at the same time. They secretly remembered in their hearts that if they forgot what happened tonight, they would remember it after looking at Jia Zhangshi!
"What are you looking at me for?"

Well, everyone turned their heads at the same time. Qin Huairu felt very embarrassed and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles!
“Let’s continue. These two words, splashing means splashing water…;
There is a sharpened bamboo stick in front of each person's stool. Now everyone is practicing on the ground. Turn on the lanterns that everyone brought!"

Following Yan Bugui's order, the women and some men in the compound squatted on the ground and began to write these two words!
"Well, today's class is over. Go back and practice well. I will test you tomorrow. The good and bad performances will be recorded and reported to the Street Office. get out of class dismissed!"

A lively class ended, and everyone was still a little undecided!
Even though Yan Bugui was extremely stingy, he was still good at teaching and they were all looking forward to the next class!

Liu Haizhong listened carefully and thought seriously about what Yan Bugui said. He knew how to write these two words, so he didn't have to write them down on the ground!

But the stories Yan Bugui told are very interesting. What if they are useful after you learn them?

If one pays attention to everything, he may be able to learn something. He may be able to show off in front of the factory leaders. Wouldn't that make him appear to be knowledgeable?

He is in primary school, and although he always says that he is in senior primary school, only he knows the real situation and knows that his educational level will become a stumbling block for him!
This is what the workshop director told him. Want to be a team leader? First of all, you have to have a good education!

The factory can't let a person with only a primary school education be the team leader, right? Can you count the items? Can you clearly count the work of each person?

At that time, he regretted that he did not have enough academic qualifications, otherwise he would have become an official. Even if he was an official in a steel mill, he was still an official and he had people under him!

As he moved from supervisor to second uncle and supervisor, he thought that his luck had turned. Promotion was not impossible, but there was just no opportunity. So he began to focus on learning cultural knowledge!
Otherwise, what would he do when he has nothing to do? Wouldn't it be better for him to sleep soundly at home?
The exemplary role model is for the street office to see, and learning more knowledge is for his own benefit!

When the Japanese surrendered, he watched the bald officials enter the city from the roadside, with the police station leading the way in front and soldiers standing guard on both sides. They were sitting in cars, looking so majestic!
At that time, he felt that if he could be so powerful, he would be willing to die on the spot. From then on, the seed of becoming an official began to sprout!
He finally found the meaning of life, which is to be an official, and he will strive for this goal all his life!
Yan Bugui felt so refreshed when he returned home. It was so enjoyable!

Aren't you, Jia Zhang, being unreasonable and trying to blackmail him?

He let Jia Zhang have a taste of his power. There was still a lot of time, so he could just have fun slowly!
Whether or not the literacy certificate can be obtained depends on him. If he is unwilling, Jia Zhang will never be able to graduate!
Jia family
"Dongxu, why are you speaking for Yan Laokou tonight?

I am your mother, and you are just going to watch me being bullied by Yan Bugui?"

"Mom, have you figured out the reality? Yan Bugui is the leader of the literacy group in the compound. In other words, opposing Yan Bugui is opposing Director Wang!
Also, wasn't there a lot of people who were late for school back then? You also approached Yan Bugui, but was it any use? Didn't it just make Yan Bugui even worse?"

"Then I got up late. As soon as you were late, he made you stand to listen to the class. Yan Laokou is such a bad guy. He lives in the same compound as you and still treats you like this. You bastard, I won't let him off!"

"Many teachers in the school handle this in the same way. If you are late, you have to stand during class. You are late tonight, so what's wrong with Uncle asking you to stand?
Is being late still justified? If you continue to make trouble, Uncle San will have plenty of ways to deal with you, and you have to obey, because you must get the literacy certificate to avoid being trapped in endless study! "

"Certificate of Literacy Completion? What is this?"

"Uncle San said that you must get the literacy certificate, otherwise you will have to go to class every day!"

Jia Zhang's face turned green, she had just returned and didn't know about this situation!

If I had known, I would have at least waited until the literacy campaign was over before causing trouble for Yan Bugui!
Is she going to have to endure Yan Bugui's troubles all the time? At this stage, Yan Bugui is the person she can't afford to offend, but she just happened to offend him, and she is completely at a loss!

The biggest lesson she learned during her time in labor camp was that you should not mess with people you cannot afford to mess with, unless you are sure you can deal with their retaliation if you mess with them!
This was taught to her by the farm manager and the big sister using naked means!

That was a desperate situation where she cried out to heaven and earth but got no response. In the end, she gave in, didn't she? The elbow can't twist the thigh, right?
Yan Family
"Ruihua, the kids will dig up the public area of ​​the vegetable garden after school tomorrow, and I'll come back and move the bricks in!"

"Move in? Where?"

"Move under the eaves. Jia Zhang is right. You can't take advantage of the public, or you might get into trouble!"

"Wouldn't that mean we would harvest a lot less vegetables?"

"How much is that dish worth? If I get blackmailed twice, how much will I have to pay?"

"It's all because of that bitch Jia Zhang. There are so many people in the compound but no one said anything..."

"Okay, I have plenty of ways to deal with Jia Zhang, just wait!"

Yan Bugui secretly made up his mind to apologize to everyone tomorrow night. Since he had already apologized, no one would hold it against him, right?
The phrase "taking advantage of the public" is not said casually. He has read a lot of newspapers recently!
We have already started investigating this aspect!
If someone does something bad, it’s unknown whether you can still be a teacher. It’s better to be careful!
The next day when everyone got off work, they saw that almost all the Yan family members, except the pregnant Yang Ruihua, had gone out to demolish the vegetable garden!
"Uncle San, what are you doing? Spring is about to come and you've started to reduce the size of your vegetable plots. I didn't expect you to be so conscious."

"Zhu Zi, please stop making fun of me. What happened last night reminded me that I really can't occupy this public area?"

"Haha...it has to be Jia Zhang. She actually let the Third Master give way. How rare!"

"What are you talking about? I realized my mistake and took the initiative to correct it!

"If you can correct your mistakes, you are a good comrade. You shouldn't doubt this, right?"

He Yuzhu was stunned. How could you die as a human being? Such a big hat came to me out of nowhere. How could I accept it?

"Uncle, when did I doubt this?

I, Jia Zhang, am the only one who can make you realize your mistake and make you, who always takes advantage of others, admit your mistake voluntarily!

You can't just slander me, right? Brother Sun, you should have heard it, right?

This guy is a teacher, why are you making such a accusation? You should be careful when talking to him next time, this old man is a bad guy!"

"Zhu Zi, don't worry, I heard everything you said, and the Third Master cannot slander you!"

"Thank you, Brother Sun! If you need anything in the future, I will definitely help you if I can!"

"Zhu Zi, you are too polite. We are all neighbors. I am not helping you. This is my principle!"

"Got it!"

Yan Bugui was also surprised to see that He Yuzhu took it so seriously. It shouldn’t be that serious, right?

He Yuzhu teased him, and he couldn't speak? Is it so serious to accuse him?

He Yuzhu didn't care what Yan Bugui thought and decided that it would be better to talk less with this sinister guy in the future. Who knows if anyone will still remember what happened today in more than ten years?
If it is confirmed, he will be skinned alive if he doesn't die. He is not just afraid of everything, he is really afraid!
Yan Bugui looked at He Yuzhu who left in a hurry and shook his head speechlessly!
What on earth did his words provoke Shazhu? Why did he feel a little flustered? I don't know why!

If he knew about the special period more than ten years later, he would not think so. This is more than exciting, it is simply terrifying!

Before the evening literacy class, Jia Zhang sat down early. She was almost the first one to arrive. She would not give Yan Bugui the opportunity to make things difficult for her!

As for compensation for the fall, she didn't even dare to mention it, for she was really afraid that Old Man Yan would hate her completely!
The first reason: Today, everyone in the compound said that they saw Qin Huairu having a stomachache. She was walking very fast and couldn't stand still. If something went wrong, they would accuse her of blackmail. She didn't want to go to the palace for the third time.
The second reason: Yan Bugui determines whether she can successfully graduate and get the certificate that Dongxu mentioned. A little impatience can ruin a big plan!
