Rebirth He Yuzhu stays away from troubles

"Brother Zhu, the Jia family has problems every day, why is there no one to persuade them?" Liang Ladi was sewing diapers and listening to the radio at home. When she saw He Yuzhu coming back, she asked curiously.

"You've been in Siheyuan for so long. Have you ever seen the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family go out to work, or get paper boxes or matchboxes from the street office?"

Blinking her eyes, she looked at He Yuzhu cutely and said, "I haven't seen it before!"

"Before Jia Dongxu got married, Jia Zhang said in the courtyard: I don't go out to find a job because I need to wash clothes and cook for Jia Dongxu and take care of the housework."

"Qin Huairu has been here for so long, and Jia Zhangshi sleeps until she wakes up naturally every day, basically until noon. What does she do after getting up and having breakfast? She takes the shoes she has been making for several years and pretends to chat with people. After lunch, she takes a nap until 3-4 in the afternoon, and then goes out for a stroll."

"Where's Qin Huairu? Apart from cooking every day, she washes clothes by the pond in the middle courtyard, pretending to be hardworking and acting like a filial daughter-in-law."

"Jia Zhang is only in her 40s, and Qin Huairu is only in her 20s. There are two women in the family. They are more skillful and can do the housework in no time. There are not so many clothes to wash and so much housework to do!"

"To put it bluntly: they don't think about the right way to earn money to support their families, but instead think about the quick and crooked way of cheating and extorting people around the courtyard. Look, last time they extorted Xu Damao's pheasant and a bunch of sausages, and this time they want to extort a small basket of eggs."

Liang Ladi looked at He Yuzhu in surprise. He Yuzhu continued, "Families like the Jia family are bad from the root. They only know how to be crooked, lazy, and cunning. The people in the courtyard are all working hard to make a living. For example, Yan Fugui's youngest daughter Yan Jiedi, who is younger than Liu Guangxiu, knows how to do handicrafts there - pasting paper boxes and matchboxes to supplement the family income."

"Every family wants to live a good life. Who dares to persuade them? What if they are blackmailed by the Jia family?"

Liang Ladi had a look of horror on her face as she stared at He Yuzhu blankly.

"Hahaha... It has nothing to do with us. We will just live our lives behind closed doors. If they dare to come to the He family to cause trouble, I have plenty of ways to deal with them." He Yuzhu said confidently.

"Knock knock..." There was a soft knock on the door.

"Wife, I'll go open the door and take a look!" He Yuzhu said.

"Go ahead, Brother Zhu." Liang Ladi said nervously.

Judging from her expression, she was frightened by what He Yuzhu said before.

He Yuzhu opened the door, Xu Damao quickly squeezed in, and he closed the door.

"Brother Zhu, I'll take the eggs to the kitchen for you." Xu Damao said sincerely.

"Da Mao, my family has enough. You can keep it for yourself or bring it to your parents!" He Yuzhu said seriously.

"Brother Zhu, can we embarrass the men of Sijiu City?"

"I can take your sweet and sour pork ribs and bone and radish soup, but can't you take a few eggs from me?" Xu Damao said angrily.

"Brother Zhu, if you don't treat me as a brother, I will leave now and never visit your He family again."

"Da Mao, then please help me carry it to the kitchen." Seeing that he was getting anxious, He Yuzhu pulled him towards the kitchen.

"Da Mao, do you want to encounter the same trouble as today again in the future?" He Yuzhu said in a profound tone as he walked.

"I really don't want to be blackmailed by them all the time, alas..." Xu Damao said helplessly.

When He Yuzhu saw Xu Damao put the eggs away, he patted his shoulder and said, "Let her be strong, the breeze blows over the hills; let her be arrogant, the bright moon shines on the river; let her be cruel and evil, I will be full of energy."

Xu Damao was stunned: "Brother Zhu, what's wrong with you? What do you mean?"

"When you have free time, go back to your parents' place and have a drink and a meal with your dad!" He Yuzhu pretended to be concerned.

"Brother Zhu, you are really my brother now! I am finally free from being looked after by others, why should I go back and find someone to look after me?" Xu Damao said reluctantly.

"Go back and have a rest, and stop thinking about it. Look at the brilliant starry sky at night, and tomorrow will be another sunny day!" He Yuzhu raised his head and looked at the sky.

Not many days later, after get off work, as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he found something wrong. The third uncle was not at home "watering the flowers". As he walked in and listened to everyone's discussions, He Yuzhu finally understood what was going on.

At around 2 to 3 o'clock in the afternoon of that day, Xu Damao's father Xu Debiao and mother Wu Fangfang came to the courtyard and arrested Jia Zhang. Xu Damao's mother Wu Fangfang slapped and scratched Jia Zhang. Xu Damao's father Xu Debiao pretended to stop the fight and pulled Jia Zhang back.

"I won't be able to kill you if I let you bully my Damao."

"Does the road to the courtyard belong to you? You just grabbed the pheasant, sausage, and eggs?"

"Ruining the reputation of my Damao? Sending eggs to your slutty wife?"

"I'll scratch you to death before you dare go out and hurt others."

Xu Damao's mother Wu Fangfang yelled, slapping and scratching him as she yelled.

Then I heard Jia Zhang screaming “Ah, ah, ah…”

"If you dare to provoke or harm my Damao again, I will come to the courtyard and deal you a lesson. I don't believe that I won't be able to subdue you." Xu Damao's mother Wu Fangfang said harshly.

"Xu Debiao, are you a man? You came to the courtyard and dared not say a word. Come home with me and see how I will deal with you!" Xu Damao's mother Wu Fangfang dragged Xu's father out of the courtyard, cursing.

Xu's parents came and left in a hurry, stunned and intimidated everyone in the courtyard.

After Xu's parents left, Jia Zhang kept howling:

"Lao Jia, please come back soon..."

"I'm going to be bullied to death by Xu Debiao and Wu Fangfang!"

"Old Jia, I can't handle it alone."

"Lao Jia, please come back soon..."

"Lao Jia, Lao Jia... please come back soon! Lao Jia, please come back soon and take a look!"

"Our affection, our love."

"Old Jia, you don't have any other requests, you just want to hold my hand."

"Lao Jia, Lao Jia... please come back soon!"

...

The entire courtyard was in a commotion, with only the three uncles' wives trying to persuade them, and the rest of the people just watching. The three uncles looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Yes! The three uncles had already understood it: the old women started fighting, and Xu Debiao was still on the side trying to stop them.

What can she do? Jia Zhang can only suffer this loss in silence! She can only blame Jia Zhang for bullying the young man Xu Damao. Don’t you like to act like an elder? His parents are here, and they can’t beat you to death.

In this era, if there is no serious injury or death in a fight, the police station will not pay any attention to you; even if the street office comes, they will just try to mediate between the two sides and the old men in the yard.

Yi Zhonghai took out 5 yuan and waved at Jia Dongxu, saying, "Dongxu! Persuade your mother to go home! Take this 5 yuan and buy some medicine for your mother. If you have extra, buy some food for your mother."

When Jia Zhang saw Yi Zhonghai giving money to Jia Dongxu, she stood up, sprinted, took the money, and rushed into the house, all in one go.

Everyone in the courtyard who saw Jia Zhang's unique skill gasped and was stunned.

Yi Zhonghai sighed and told Jia Dongxu, "Let me tell you the truth! Xu Damao's father, Xu Debiao, is insidious and cunning. Our generation, including your deceased father, tried not to deal with the Xu family, and we mostly avoided them if we could."

"Dongxu! Go home and persuade your mother to stop provoking Xu Damao and the Xu family. We can't afford to offend them!"
