Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 176: The women besieged Jia Zhangshi, Qiuyue wanted to move in

He Yuzhu had a good sleep and slept until he woke up naturally. He had no worries and felt very relaxed. It felt so good not to have to go to work!
After breakfast, He Yuzhu felt a little bored and didn’t know what to do!

It was a bit strange to relax suddenly. He Yuzhu gave a bitter smile. What a mean person!

After thinking about it, I decided to clean the house, pick up my sister, and then go to Qiuyue to discuss the issue of the wedding date!
He Yushui has been staying at Master's house for such a long time, it's time to bring him back. It's not good to keep causing trouble to Master's wife!
Since you are preparing to get married, there is naturally no problem. Moreover, you still need to exercise your awareness of confidentiality. There are many things in the future that you cannot let others know. Rain may be the only flaw!
Children all like to show off, let alone let the cat out of the bag. Jia Zhang's report made He Yuzhu more alert than ever!
After cleaning the house thoroughly, He Yuzhu nodded with satisfaction!
Master Kuai’s craftsmanship is really good. The inside of the house looks brand new, but the outside remains the same!
"Zhu Zi, I heard your house has been renovated?"

"Yes, auntie, are you in a hurry to wash clothes too? It's still early and the water is cold!"

"Well, I'm going to go back to my hometown in a couple of days. During this time, I often think of my deceased parents, so I'm going to visit their graves!
I am getting older and older, and I don’t know how many opportunities I will have in the future. I should make more trips while I am still young! ”

"Aunt is right, we should go back and take a look!"

He Yuzhu was puzzled. Why did Yi Li say she was going back to the countryside? He didn't ask, but he felt it was intentional!
In the past, Yi Li seldom talked about family matters. He was kind and not good at speaking!
This was the first time in his memory that someone took the initiative to chat about family matters. He then shook his head and thought, "Forget it!" Maybe he was overthinking it!

He remained wary of these people in the compound, and even had malicious speculations!

He Yuzhu and Yi Li were chatting casually. There was only one sink, so they had to wash clothes here. There was no other way!
Although he didn't want to have too much contact with these people, he always had to stay in this place for a while whenever he had to wash clothes or something, as it was convenient for him to get water!

The house is ready. Just wash some bedding and move in. Wouldn't it be nice?

I haven't thought about replacing it with a new one. Not to mention that I don't have much money now, I wouldn't dare to do it even if I had money!

This is an era where being poor is glorious. Everyone knows that he is in debt now, so he should feel balanced!
It is not a good habit to replace it with a new one at this time, otherwise rumors will definitely spread!

"Zhu Zi, you didn't go to work today? Is Master's wife also doing laundry?"

At this time, Qin Huairu also came over with a basin of clothes and greeted the two of them with a smile!

"Well, Huairu, how is the baby?"

"It's fine. I can eat and sleep!"

"I heard from your master that you are not going to hold a one-month celebration for the baby?"

"My family is not well off, so I'm not going to do it!"

Qin Huairu lowered her head in grievance when she said this. Because of the full moon wine party, the mother and son had argued for a long time last night!
He Yuzhu guessed, maybe the Jia mother and son decided not to have the baby after giving birth to a daughter?
"Brother Dongxu is the same. He didn't even hold a full-month banquet for his first child. Is he worried that we can't afford the gift money?"

He Yuzhu wanted to know the whole story but couldn't ask directly, so he resorted to casual chatting, hoping to get the information he wanted!

"Silly Zhu, stop being sarcastic. Dongxu is getting married, and you bad guys only gave a thousand yuan as a gift from each family. This amount is not even enough to buy wine!

You still have the nerve to talk about the full moon banquet? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? "

He Yuzhu was so upset. When did this bitch come out? She was busy washing clothes and didn't pay attention. What bad luck!

Jia Zhang's roar successfully attracted all the people who were not at work!
A group of women pointed and talked, and the old people looked from afar and did not dare to come forward, for fear of being implicated!
It's good to go over and watch the fun, but if you get bumped by the careless Jia Zhang, you'll be in big trouble!

"Jia Zhang, what do you mean by that?"

He Yuzhu looked at Jia Zhang in confusion, as if this matter had nothing to do with him!
"Humph, you bastards are all bad guys!
When Dongxu got married, each of your families gave a gift of one thousand yuan. You still have the nerve to ask!

Have you lost your conscience? If something happens to your family, we should give you at least 10,000 yuan as a gift, right? "

At this point, Jia Zhang became more and more angry, and the last question was almost shouted!
Last night, Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu discussed the baby's full-month banquet and wanted to take the opportunity to make some money. She had already thought about it. After everyone paid their gifts, she would let Sha Zhu prepare a big pot of food. It would be a sure win!

As a result, he was flatly rejected by Jia Dongxu. Seeing that Jia Zhang was puzzled, Jia Dongxu thought about it and decided to tell Jia Zhang about the wedding money!

He originally didn't want to tell anyone, because he knew Jia Zhang's temper best. If he told anyone, Jia Zhang would be so angry that the roof would fly off!

After learning about this from Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhang almost went berserk. If Jia Dongxu hadn't stopped her, no one would have had a peaceful day last night!

She didn't expect that there would be such a scene in Jia Dongxu's marriage, and then she launched an offensive against Jia Dongxu. The core point was that he shouldn't have hidden it from her!
From the time she moved into the courtyard until now, there has never been such a low gift money in this compound!

The Jia family has lost all face, and most importantly, she only found out about this embarrassing thing last night!

It seemed that her son was deliberately hiding the truth from her, which was the most unacceptable thing to her!
"Ms. Jia Zhang, you can't be unreasonable. Everyone got a thousand that day. What do you want me to do?"

He Yuzhu looked at Jia Zhang innocently. Yi Li and Qin Huairu lowered their heads and said nothing, not daring to look at Jia Zhang at all!

"Yi Zhonghai is 50,000? Don't think I don't know. You are all black-hearted bastards!"

"Ahem, my Uncle Yi is not short of money, how can I be the same?

When He Daqing just left, even food was a problem. They were already lucky to have one thousand. You are so picky. Don’t you know that the gift is small but the sentiment is great?
Brother Dongxu and I have a friendship as pure as water, and I guess you don’t understand this principle!

Of course, if I had to choose between Uncle Yi and all the neighbors, I would definitely choose the majority!

Isn’t there a saying that goes, the truth is in the hands of a few people!
Since everyone gave a gift of one thousand yuan without any prior agreement, there must be a reason for it!
I can't just pretend to be rich and not be with the people, right?

I always believe that the eyes of the masses are sharp, and only by following the crowd can we avoid being deceived! "

"Bullshit logic, you are bullying us orphans and widows!

Damn bastards, there are no good people in this compound, they are all a bunch of black-hearted bastards!"

Well, Jia Zhang said without thinking and successfully involved everyone. How could those who were watching the fun tolerate this?
That was definitely intolerable. Maybe they had given her some leniency in the past, but after Jia Zhang had been sent to the palace for the second time, she had become a scum in their eyes!
If Jia Zhang continues to speak without thinking, perhaps we can send this annoying shrew to jail so that the courtyard can have some peace and quiet!
"Ms. Jia Zhang, this orphan and widow has been calling you that for so many years. Now Jia Dongxu is already in his twenties, and you are still calling her that? Aren't you ashamed?

Zhuzi is now an orphan, when did he ever shout?

My ears are all calloused, can you try something different? "

They are all women, who doesn't quarrel? Seeing Jia Zhang showing off, someone soon became unhappy!

"Get lost, Zhou family, what's bothering you?

Don't mess with me, your family is also involved, I won't let you have an easy time, every family will be involved!"

This sentence has really stirred up a hornet's nest. It seems that except for Yi Zhonghai's family, none of them will be spared?
In that case, don’t be polite, let’s get things done today!
Seeing that the women were eager to try, He Yuzhu retreated without leaving a trace, ready to start watching the show!
"Ms. Jia Zhang, if you hadn't intentionally kept the meat for yourself, would the soup have been so bland?

I have been living in the courtyard for so long, but this is the first time I see the host eating meat, while the neighbor who came to help only had a few rotten vegetable leaves. They deserve it!

Ignoring everyone who's busy helping your family, you're just fat and big-eared, eating the meat without restraint, and you still have the nerve to bring this up, bah! "

“Get lost, when did I keep the meat for myself?

Zhou family, if you don't explain yourself clearly today, I will tear your mouth apart!"

"Humph! You are indeed a shrew. You have forgotten even this? What else can you do besides making trouble?"

. . . . . .

He Yuzhu watched this scene with great interest. The quarrel between Zhou's sister-in-law and Jia Zhang was quite lively and both were evenly matched!

It was originally a quarrel between Jia Zhang and Zhou's sister-in-law. The two were evenly matched and it seemed that it was about to turn into a protracted war!
As a result, the style of the painting suddenly changed and it turned into a "siege" by the women in the courtyard. The women who were watching the show also joined in, and their words became more and more sarcastic!

What amazed He Yuzhu the most was that Jia Zhang did not lose the upper hand at all. Facing the siege of everyone, she still fought back strongly!
The women also spoke eloquently and sweetly, which amazed He Yuzhu!
Just when He Yuzhu was feeling a little tired, the scene of the quarrel suddenly changed!

The women just looked at each other, and then formed three groups to fight in shifts. One group would scold until the other group was tired. They took turns to rest, while Jia Zhang continued to fight!
These old women actually used these tactics. I believe Jia Zhang won’t be able to hold on for much longer!

The result is predictable. The verbal fight ended with Jia Zhang's voice becoming hoarse!

He Yuzhu was watching with great joy, if it wasn't for the women's battlefield, he would have been tempted to say a few words, this was much more interesting than the play 'Three Heroes Fighting against Lu Bu'!
He Yuzhu finally realized that women should not be provoked, especially a group of women, because their fighting power made him retreat!
When women fight, they specifically target the lower three people. When they curse at each other, they specifically target the woman’s eight generations or more. They don’t care about the bottom line, they only care about winning. He really can’t handle it!

It was already afternoon when He Yuzhu finished washing the clothes. He tidied up the room and went out. His sister He Yushui was still at the master's house. It was time to bring her back!
In a few days, this little guy will probably go crazy and complain more and more!

The last time I went to Master's house to see Yu Shui, he was already talking about going home! At that time, the matter with Qiu Yue was not settled yet, and I was afraid that the little guy would tell others, so I used a few candies to make Yu Shui compromise!
There are too many people in Siheyuan who don't want him to be well, and there is also Qin Huairu. Who knows what this woman is thinking? If she stages a "washing underwear" show for him, then he's doomed!
Qin Huairu's outrageous behavior in the drama made He Yuzhu shudder, but he still looked at Qin Huairu based on his impression of her in the drama!

In short, before getting married, all hidden dangers must be prevented, and there will naturally be Qiuyue after marriage!

He could see that his future daughter-in-law was no ordinary person and was capable of handling the women in this compound!

Now that the relationship between the two has been basically settled, it is natural for me to bring my sister back!
He only has this one sister. Since she has taken over the body of the original owner and allowed him to live a new life, he owes the original owner a debt of gratitude. Perhaps raising He Yushui into an adult can be considered as his repayment!
What's more, Xiao Yushui is a good girl, and he really likes this sister!

He Yuzhu is an advocate of the theory of cause and effect. He believes that there must be a cause for every effect. There is no hatred without reason, and there will be no love without reason!
It will give the dead a new "habitat" so that they won't become wandering ghosts!

He is grateful to his original body for allowing him to experience this fiery era firsthand and feel a different society!
Director Wang's home
"Qiuyue, have you thought it through?"

"Yes, we'll move there tomorrow!

Aunt Wang, you have introduced the situation of this compound in such detail, I believe I have enough ability to deal with it!
Now I have a preliminary understanding of the people inside, but they know nothing about me. Even if people from the compound target me, I can respond accordingly!
Since we will be neighbors in the future, it is natural for me to see the people and things in this compound from the perspective of a newcomer!
Don't worry, I'm not a pushover. If someone really provokes me, I will make her regret it!"

He Yuzhu and Director Wang have introduced the complex situation of the Nanluoguxiang courtyard in detail!
The two had surprisingly consistent opinions: they would go there after they got married, and even if Qiuyue was bullied, He Yuzhu would stand up and protect her!
But Qiuyue didn't think so. If He Yuzhu wasn't in the compound, would she not be bullied? In her opinion, not entirely!
Only by understanding the people and things in this compound can you live a better life, otherwise you will still suffer the losses!
In this case, why not be brave and try to integrate as an individual?
Moreover, she suggested not to announce her relationship with He Yuzhu for the time being, and she also had her own purpose!

She wants to understand these people and things from a stranger's perspective!

What Qiuyue didn't know was that He Yuzhu originally wanted her to hide this relationship temporarily, but she brought it up first!
Although she trusted He Yuzhu and Director Wang very much, Qiuyue didn't believe them in her heart!

She didn't believe that such a large compound would gather so many people with distorted values. The probability of this happening was too small!

She believes that human nature is good, so she reserves her opinion on what He Yuzhu and Director Wang said!

She has experienced a lot of hardships, especially in school. As an orphan, she has been looked down upon a lot. She thinks she knows human nature very well and has basically seen through it!

But it still feels incredible to hear such a thing!

He Yuzhu is also an orphan. The moment she knew about it, she felt a sense of sympathy. In addition, He Yuzhu is optimistic and talented, which made her more expectant and she thought they could find common topics!

The biggest surprise was that He Yuzhu himself was familiar with Jane Eyre!

Few people have read this book, let alone can recite the classic quotes fluently, which gives her a sense of having found a soulmate!

Since He Yuzhu behaved like this and grew up in that kind of environment, she wanted to know more!

If it is true as Director Wang said, then how did He Yuzhu manage to remain untainted by the mud and remain pure in the clear water?
She was so curious that she couldn't wait any longer. The house had already been packed and she couldn't wait to move in!
That's her home, much more comfortable than staying overnight!

Of course, this does not mean that Director Wang and his wife were harsh on her. On the contrary, they treated her very well!
But people are like this. A nest of gold or silver is not as good as one's own nest of grass. One can lie down and sleep wherever he wants in his own place!

It’s different in other people’s homes. There are always some aspects that you need to pay attention to and not be too casual!

He Yuzhu didn't know yet that Qiuyue decided to move into the courtyard house. At this moment, he was looking at He Yushui in astonishment!
"Brother is here? Please have some water. We are out of tea leaves at home, so we can only offer you boiled water. Please forgive me, brother!"

At this time, Xiao Yushui actually entertained He Yuzhu like the host of his master's house. He even suspected that he had come to the wrong place!

"Yushui, can we be normal? I'm your brother!"

He Yuzhu looked at He Yushui helplessly, who was looking serious. What was going on?
"I know, of course you are my brother, but since you are at my house, isn't it my responsibility to serve you tea and water?"

He Yuzhu burst out laughing. This little girl was becoming more and more interesting. She was blaming him for not coming to pick her up!
“Haha, the house hasn’t been renovated yet, and the wing is already crowded, so I came a little late!

How about inviting little Rainwater girl home today?"

"Well, let me think about it!"

He Yushui nodded seriously, indicating that he would seriously consider it!

"Alas, it seems that Yu Shui doesn't want to leave now. I will go back first and come back to pick him up when he is willing to come back!"

As He Yuzhu was talking, he was about to leave, but Yu Shui couldn't hold it in any longer, so he immediately ran over and grabbed He Yuzhu's trouser leg!

Tears are already brewing in my eyes, and I feel like I'm about to cry!

"Brother, are you really going to take the rain water home?"

"Of course. Now that the main house is renovated, we can go home!"

"I'm going to get dressed, brother, please wait!"

"Ha ha..."

He Yuzhu and his master's wife laughed at the anxious rain. They acted quite conscientiously just now!

"You little brat, you're still pretending in front of me!"

"Zhu Zi, aren't you a little too mischievous? Haha."

"Master's wife, I am sorry to have caused you trouble during this period!"

"It's not that it's causing any trouble, this kid is pretty good, I like him too!
Zhuzi, when are you going to get married?"

"We haven't discussed it yet, but it will probably be soon!"

"Well, tell me in advance and I'll go over and clean up the house for you!"

"Thank you, Master's Wife!"

"Why is this kid always so polite? If you had your elders around, I wouldn't have to worry about this!"

"I'll definitely have to trouble you, Master's wife. It should be ready soon!"

"Ok!"

He Yuzhu secretly groaned, this bastard was planning to ask the master for money, but he went to the master's wife first, which would be embarrassing for the master, but if he went to the master, the money would be managed by the master's wife, this bastard...

"Zhu Zi, why are you here? Are you done with your work?"

"Master, the house is out, I'm here to take the rain home!"

"Well, when is the wedding?"

"If you don't have enough money, you can do it when you have enough!"

"How much is left?"

“Roughly estimated, it’s about two million!
The house has become a lot more spacious after the renovation, so I was thinking about getting thirty-six legs, but I can’t think of seventy-two legs!”

"Well, go ask your master's wife for it first. It will take you half a year to save money by yourself without eating or drinking, not to mention the expenses of the family!"

"Thank you, Master!"

"Hey, it's just there anyway, just use it first, no need to be so polite!"

"Got it!"

"I said you're dilly-dallying. You've had this idea in mind for a long time, right? Just say it directly, kid!"

The master's wife went to get the money while muttering, and He Yuzhu touched his head embarrassedly!
He knew that neither his master nor his mistress would refuse, but the key was that it was difficult to ask!
He Yuzhu took the money and left his master's house with Xiao Yushui, feeling inexplicably moved. How lucky he was to have such a master and mistress!
