Courtyard House: Passing through the Silly Pillar, Activating the Blessed Cave Heaven

We're just acquaintances who greet each other when we meet, nothing more.

However, with Old Jia gone, Jia Zhangshi is probably even less willing to return to her hometown.

"Why? Uncle Jia may be gone, but Dongxu is still here. Why doesn't he want to go back to his hometown?"

"Wasn't it all caused by Jia Zhangshi herself? She's short-sighted and extremely snobbish."

When Lao Jia was alive, every time she went back to her hometown and brought back some things, she would make a huge fuss.

Once, Lao Jia's relative came to the city on business and stopped by to visit him.

Old Jia invited them to stay for dinner, but Jia Zhangshi was unhappy. Not daring to show it in front of outsiders, she had to suppress her anger.

"While cooking, that relative went to the toilet. When he came back, he heard Jia Zhangshi cursing in the house: 'This poor beggar is addicted to freeloading. He's practically a reincarnation of a starving ghost. He's so shameless!' The relative was so angry that he left without even eating."

Old Jia went to buy wine, and when he came back, he found that the person had already left.

"I happened to be cooking at home that day and witnessed it with my own eyes."

Later, when your Uncle Jia found out about this, he gave Jia Zhangshi a severe scolding.

But after this incident, Lao Jia was completely ashamed to face anyone in Jiajia Village.

You know, Lao Jia lost his father when he was young, and his mother, a widow, raised him with great difficulty. The villagers helped their family a lot.

When Old Jia was alive, everyone looked after Jia Zhangshi out of respect for him. Now that he's gone, who would bother with her anymore? The fact that some people from Jiajia Village came to see Uncle Jia off on his final journey is already out of consideration for past relationships, yet Jia Zhangshi wouldn't even offer them a meal.

After hearing what He Daqing said, He Yuzhu thought to himself: Good heavens, the Jia family's widowhood fate is simply hereditary! When I read the novel before, I only knew that Jia Zhangshi had become a widow at a young age, but I didn't know exactly when. Now it seems that it was her destiny.

If you count from her mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law Qin Huairu, wow, that's three generations of widows.

Judging by this trend, once Thief Saint Stick gets married, he might end up a widow.

I'd better stay away from the Jia family from now on. I'm going to be the richest man in the world, and I can't afford to die young.

As usual, He Yuzhu took his younger sister Yushui out to play.

Rain is now especially looking forward to her brother's return, because he always takes her out to play whenever he comes back.

He Yuzhu adored his little niece in his past life, and would take her everywhere to play every year when he came home. Yushui is about the same age as his little niece in his past life, so he also dotes on Yushui.

He spent half the morning playing with Yu Shui. After lunch, He Yuzhu went out as usual to go to his master Wu Baotian's house.

But before that, he had a few things to do.

He had previously ordered a bow and arrow through Old Song's introduction, and today was the day to pick it up as agreed.

After obtaining the bow and arrows, he casually stored them in his blessed land and then went to a wild game restaurant.

He discovered this wild game shop by chance. He had originally planned to ask Uncle Huang at the market to help him buy wild game, but now that he had this legitimate wild game shop, it saved him a lot of trouble.

As soon as I arrived at the shop entrance, the shop assistants rushed over and lifted the curtain.

The shopkeeper also came out from behind the counter and greeted him warmly, "Young man, what would you like to buy?"
