Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 168 Meeting Contents: Jia Family Starts Trouble
It’s no wonder He Yuzhu thinks this way. In his impression, whether in the drama or now, many general meetings are inextricably linked to the Jia family!

Once was enough to make him imagine it, let alone many times!

He became extremely annoyed when he thought of this. There were so many things to deal with every day, but since Director Wang was here, he had to attend!
As the director of the subdistrict office, you really can't not give this face, not to mention Qiuyue's relationship is involved!
“Ahem, I’m calling you all to a meeting today for only one thing!

That is, the Public Health Bureau issued a notice that a number of public toilets will be built for the sake of the capital's appearance and everyone's health!

Of course, there are toilets in your compound, but they have been used for a long time!

So when Director Lou of the steel rolling mill learned of this notice, he contacted the street office and prepared to send a batch of supplies to the compound where the factory employees lived in response to the spirit of the notice from the Public Health Bureau!

The materials are at the steel rolling mill. Xu Fugui is responsible for gathering people to bring them back. Remember, they can only be used to build toilets and cannot be used for other purposes!
As for the construction labor, voluntary labor will be adopted. In principle, the toilets in your compound are required to be built by your own people!
I hope that your managers will take responsibility and implement this work and carry it out without fail!
Other residents also need people to contribute. If they go to work during the day, they can come back to work at night!
There is no room for bargaining for this work, and it is also to facilitate your life. I hope you can complete it to a high standard. Is there any problem?"

"No problem, don't worry, Director Wang, our compound will be built to a high standard, and we welcome the supervision of the Street Office!"

Xu Fugui agreed immediately. What's the problem? The materials have been given, and they don't have to pay for it. It's not difficult at all!
"Very good, that's it!"

Director Wang left after giving the notification. This work was carried out simultaneously in many places in Beijing, not just Nanluoguxiang, with the aim of improving the urban environment and standardizing the city’s appearance!
The Municipal Public Health Bureau has invested in the construction of more than 20 public toilets in key locations. They must also respond to the call and take action!
Especially during this period when the elderly are calling for a thorough cleanup, this work still has positive significance!
After seeing Director Wang off, the uncle in charge came back. He then sat down at the table, picked up the teapot and took a sip!
Only He Yuzhu didn't drink, he just sat there!

“I think everyone is clear that in principle we require every family to provide personnel!
Of course, the toilets are for everyone to use, so I hope you will actively participate! "

Xu Fugui looked at everyone, thought about it, and decided that it would be better to finish it earlier!

After all, it was arranged by Director Wang himself, so it must not only be standard but also timely!

"What the uncle said makes sense. The sooner it is completed, the sooner it can be inspected and accepted, the sooner it can be put into use!
I hope there won’t be any cheaters during the construction process!

Otherwise, we will have to give everyone an explanation. We cannot turn a blind eye to it!"

After Xu Fugui finished his speech, Liu Haizhong spoke right after, not missing any opportunity to speak!

He Yuzhu nodded. What Liu Da Nao said made sense. Everyone was most afraid of this kind of situation!
If one person is lazy, others will feel unbalanced, which is not good for the construction work!
"What the Second Uncle said makes sense, everyone should go home after work and stop wandering around!
I will record who didn't come, and we'll settle the accounts later!"

The three managers have expressed their opinions, and everyone looked at He Yuzhu!

It has almost become a normal thing to see what else this supervisor wants!

It can also be said that everyone has become accustomed to it!

"Ahem, I'm going to get off work a little later than the rest of you, so I'm going to let you guys know in advance so that no one will misunderstand me!"

"Silly Zhu, if it were you, you wouldn't have to work anymore, just prepare a dinner for the workers!
Otherwise it would be unfair to everyone, after all, you would have done less work!"

No one else said anything, but Jia Zhang spoke first. She had always wanted to settle accounts with He Yuzhu, but she never found the chance!

You can't use the tantrum anymore. You're afraid of saying something you shouldn't say and giving others a handle to hold against you. You're also afraid of getting beaten!
This time she was given a chance, it would be strange if she didn't make trouble. The first time she was sent to labor camp, it was all He Yuzhu's credit;
Yan Bugui had no choice. After so long, she was the only one who had not graduated!
Even Yi Li has obtained her certificate of completion, and now she is the only one who has not yet completed the literacy course!
Unfortunately, Director Wang came to inspect the literacy results and found that she had failed. He tested her and found that she could not write even two words. He had no choice but to order her to study harder!
She is studying at home these days, so she has no time to look for He Yuzhu!

She had witnessed the insidiousness of the scholars. They scolded her every day like they were scolding their grandson. In order to graduate as soon as possible, she had no choice but to endure it!

If she hadn't been through re-education through labor, she might not have been able to endure it!

Because Director Wang said that if she still couldn't finish the course in one month, she would have to go to the street office and attend a training class!
In fact, as long as Yan Bugui lets her go, she can get away!
Unfortunately, Yan Bugui, who has always been stingy, refused to budge this time. No matter what method we tried, nothing worked!
Just because she doesn't dare to provoke Yan Bugui doesn't mean she doesn't dare to provoke He Yuzhu!
The problem has been solved, and she wants to see how Sha Zhu will solve it!

Lessons learned time and again have transformed Jia Zhang from a stubborn and unreasonable person to a wise one. In other words, he has become even more difficult to deal with!

He Yuzhu didn't expect that Jia Zhang, this shrew, would dare to jump out and cause trouble!

I looked at Jia Dongxu and found that he was smiling sinisterly, and I couldn't help feeling disgusted!
Could it be that the sequelae of the broken egg appeared? He Yuzhu speculated maliciously!

"Ms. Jia Zhang, you've got the wrong person. This is not the way to take advantage!
I earn 120,000 yuan a month and I'm an orphan with a younger sister. It's a miracle that I didn't freeze to death!

How can I afford to prepare a meal for everyone? Do you want to drink my blood?
I thought you were just a bunch of nagging, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious. You're trying to kill us siblings!"

He Yuzhu looked up at the sky, as if he was very disappointed with human nature. He shook his head and sighed from time to time, and looked desperate from time to time. That expression made his neighbors feel extremely sad!

"You're being forced to death? You were the first one to buy a bicycle in the compound, right? You were also the first one to renovate the house, right?

A few meals can make you and your sister unable to survive, it's simply a huge joke!"

A flash of jealousy and viciousness flashed across Jia Zhang's face. Why could Sha Zhu accomplish something that her family couldn't accomplish?
Look at their house and then look at Shazhu's, how can you not be jealous?
"Jia Zhang, you were sent to a labor camp at that time, so you don't know that I don't blame you!

Uncle Yi saw that I was working hard, so he lent me money to buy the bicycle!

Later, seeing how hard it was for me to take care of my sister, he deliberately lost the bet with me and gave it up;

As for decorating the house, I lived frugally and just did a good enough job!
I have no money now. If you don’t agree, let’s wait for me to get off work and work together!
Alas, if the house wasn’t leaking drafts in the winter and rain in the summer, I really wouldn’t dare to move, because eating is the first priority! ”

After saying that, he did not forget to look at Yi Zhonghai with gratitude, as if to say, I remember your kindness!
Yi Zhonghai felt that He Yuzhu's eyes were very ironic. Everyone in the compound knew the truth!

Isn't this reopening the wound? Is He Yuzhu afraid that others will forget his shameful past?

I lost to you on purpose out of pity for my brother and sister, and gave in. Is that what a human being would say?

Looking at the weird looks from other people, he felt very uncomfortable!

When Jia Zhang heard He Yuzhu refer to re-education through labor as reform-through-labor, she was so angry that she almost went berserk. Damn it, that's re-education through labor, not reform-through-labor!

Fortunately, he was stopped by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Jia Dongxu. He was not trying to stop Jia Zhang, but was ready to go himself!
"Zhu Zi, my mother is much older than you, and you keep calling her Jia Zhang. Doesn't that seem impolite?

If everyone in the compound is like you, then where are the ethical standards in the compound?

You ask everyone to wait for you to get off work before they can get off work again. Does that mean everyone won't go to work the next day?

It's not a good idea to waste everyone's time because of your own affairs, right?
My master has always said that you are selfish, and I didn’t expect that he was right!

You can't judge a person by his appearance, and you can't measure the depth of the ocean. Zhuzi, you've changed a lot!"

Jia Dongxu, who stopped He Yuzhu, spoke slowly and methodically!

Although the speaking speed was not very fast, it effectively put He Yuzhu in a disadvantageous position!

Don’t underestimate these things. Reputation is extremely important in this era, and many people care about this good reputation!
"Well, you've asked a lot of questions, so I'll answer them one by one:

First, if I don't call her Jia Zhangshi, do I have to call a prisoner who has been sent to prison twice for forced labor "Auntie"? If she refuses to change after repeated admonitions, does she deserve to be called "Auntie"?

Second, ethics? I have never seen anyone as shameless as you!
Her second time in prison affected the honor of the compound and brought shame to it!

Do you still want us to call you aunt? I, He Yuzhu, don't want to associate with you!
Third, this is my working hours. According to you, I have to ask for leave?
Fourth, your master said that I am selfish? Talking about others behind their backs is not a gentleman, but a hypocrite!

Did you understand what I said?"

"Let's not talk about other things for now. In fact, you should take a leave. For everyone, Zhuzi, you should take a leave!!"

He Yuzhu looked at Jia Dongxu in surprise. This guy's reaction was not slow. With so many questions, he just ignored them and kept biting him!
"Okay, then I propose that everyone take a leave of absence. No one should go to work until the toilet is repaired!
Jia Dongxu's suggestion is very good. We cannot waste other people's time because of one person. Similarly, it is not right for me to take a leave to wait for you. Even if I beg for money next month, it will not waste everyone's time. If everyone takes a leave, there should be nothing to complain about, right?
Let's just finish the work assigned by the subdistrict office. I estimate it will be finished in two or three days. Uncle, what do you think?"

"Well, that's a good idea, I agree!"

"Second uncle, what do you say?"

"I agree. Repairing a toilet is a big deal. Since everyone wants fairness, the pillar method is undoubtedly the best!"

"As the supervisor, I also agree with this proposal, Uncle San, what do you think?"

"I agree!"

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes. You all agreed, how could he not agree?

The minority obeys the majority, and it will be useful even if he disagrees!
Yan Bugui looked at Jia Dongxu angrily. His salary would not be deducted for not going to work for a few days, but his bonus would definitely be lost, which was several thousand dollars!
Everyone came to watch the fun, but they didn't expect it to develop to this point. They all looked at the Jia mother and son with dissatisfaction!

Zhuzi is late, so what? We didn't tell you. What are you doing? Why are you making trouble?

Asking for leave? That sounds good, but how would they know when the project would be completed? If they don't get paid for several days' work, how would the whole family eat?

Jia Dongxu's face froze. He didn't expect He Yuzhu to make such a suggestion!

He was directly placed on the opposite side of the whole hospital, roasted on the fire, and he broke out in a cold sweat! !
He didn't know what was going on, but he just couldn't stand everyone these days!

Seeing He Yuzhu renovating the house, I felt envious, jealous and hateful, and many negative emotions surged in my heart!

The He family’s house is big and spacious, and there are only two siblings!
What about their home? They only have one room, and they have to draw a curtain over the kang. It feels so unfair!
He felt that even God was against him. His family was rich, but his mother didn't listen to him, which led to poverty!
I was full of confidence and felt I could turn the tide, but I didn't expect it to be difficult to learn the skills and I got injured!

Looking at the smug He Yuzhu, the twisted jealousy in his heart began to take over!
This is what made He Yuzhu embarrassed. Who would have thought that he would end up getting cheated instead of cheating others?

Yi Zhonghai gave Jia Dongxu a reproachful look. Everything was going well, but you insisted on making trouble, and in the end you didn't even have the ability to clean up the mess. What a waste!
"Ahem, my opinion is that Zhuzi should come later, after all, it's all for work!
We should just do what we are supposed to do. We can't ask everyone to take leave just to build a toilet, right?
We all have a hard time, and if we get paid less, we will have to eat less, which is not right!"

Yi Zhonghai quickly thought of a way to break the impasse, which was to retreat in order to advance!

As long as his proposal is passed, won't everyone be grateful to him?
He is prepared to win over the hearts of the people for a long time!

No matter if it's silent or blatant, as long as it can help win people's hearts, he will use it!
“It’s not that this suggestion is impossible, but your apprentice is unwilling to do so!

On the other hand, if several uncles have passed it, if you want to overturn it, you still need to ask the opinions of the three uncles! "

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect He Yuzhu to say this, and looked at Xu Fugui helplessly!
It would be fine if he just tried to sow discord between the master and the apprentice, but he also had to ask for the opinions of several people. He felt uncomfortable!
Originally he should have had a seat at the top, but now he can only stand at the bottom!
"Second Master agrees, I have no objection!"

"Uncle Sanye agrees, I have no objection!"

"Zhu Zi agrees, I have no objection!!"

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes and said, "Can you be more shameless?"

His proposal has just been passed. Is it really okay for you to kick the ball back?
The three old men smiled knowingly; they just wanted to watch the fun!

The Jia family and He Yuzhu were the cause, and they didn't want to interfere. Besides, Yi Zhonghai's sudden appearance made them feel unhappy!

But Yi Zhonghai's proposal stood on everyone's standpoint, and it was difficult for them to directly refute it!
They are unwilling to lose the support of the people in order to oppose Yi Zhonghai!
"If Brother Dongxu agrees, I have no objection, but I don't think Brother Dongxu will agree!

Let me provide dinner for everyone. I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to, but I really can't do anything!"

Jia Dongxu was in trouble. He didn't want to offend most people in the hospital, nor did he want to overturn his own words!
If self-destruction is the same as going back on one's word, will anyone still trust him in the future? Doesn't he care about his reputation?

Since the injury, he has become particularly sensitive and cares a lot about what others think!

As men, when they are together, they can’t help but tell some dirty jokes!

He even thought that others were deliberately being stubborn to him, and he couldn't turn against them and could only leave helplessly!

In this situation, Jia Dongxu still didn't give in, and Yi Zhonghai sighed slightly!
Since when did this disciple become different?
Not only did he smile less and less, but he also felt an indescribable weirdness, a bit cold and a bit unfathomable!
"Ahem, in that case, I'll take care of this dinner. We'll get back to get off work and Zhuzi will come back to cook!
Let everyone eat happily, maybe we can work faster! "

Seeing that Jia Dongxu was reluctant to agree, Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and said to He Yuzhu in a generous manner!
"Uncle Yi is such a good person. Although you have been in labor reform, your attitude towards reform is very positive and you always think about everyone. You are such a good person!

It's a pity that some of your disciples failed to achieve their goal and instead learned something half-baked!

I agree, let’s do it!”

He Yuzhu gave in after a few sarcastic remarks. We can't hold on to it now, otherwise everyone will be dissatisfied with him!

He looked at Jia Dongxu meaningfully, then sat down without saying anything. There was something wrong with Jia Dongxu!
I'm afraid this compound will not be peaceful in the future. With Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi, who knows what kind of trouble they will cause!

Fortunately, Qin Huairu did not participate much, otherwise he had no idea what kind of chemical reaction would occur when the three of them were together!

But Yi Zhonghai wants to be a good person, and if he doesn't teach Yi Zhonghai a lesson, it would be too unfair to the hypocrite!

"Wait, there's one thing we haven't discussed yet!"

"Ms. Jia Zhang, why are you so busy? We all have to go to work tomorrow, and we don't have time to fool around with you!"

"Second uncle, don't you think your uncle in charge will allow the people to speak?"

"I..."

"Old Liu, don't be impatient, listen to what Jia Zhang has to say!"

“The side room next to the silly pillar has been separated out, but no one has been seen there yet!
This person doesn't participate in labor, so will he be allowed to use this toilet in the future?"

When everyone heard what Jia Zhang said, they started talking about it. They knew that the house had been divided up!

But apart from the factory logistics staff painting the house white and delivering some furniture, the owner of the house was never seen!
"What Jia Zhang said makes sense. Once you enter the compound, you are considered a member of the family. It would be inappropriate not to participate!"

"Bullshit, they haven't even officially moved in yet, they don't know anything about this!
We don’t even know who they are, so we’re not allowed to use the toilet?”

. . . . . .

"Lao Xu, do you know who moved in? He hasn't shown up yet!"

"Hehe, they are all technical secondary school graduates, all in vital areas, get it?"

"What do you mean?"

"Anyway, I can't afford to offend you, Lao Liu. I can only tell you that no one who works in the steel mill can afford to offend you!"

Liu Haizhong nodded thoughtfully. As for He Yuzhu's composure, he wanted to know what everyone would say!
Jia Zhang is a bit like the village bully, and is becoming more and more weird!
