Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

Qin Zheng also secretly praised He Yuzhu's cooking skills. In terms of taste alone, his cooking skills were almost as good as his own. His talent was indeed extraordinary.

"Well, this braised pork tastes good too."

After eating another piece of braised pork, Jia Dongxu exclaimed again.

Qin Zheng and He Yuzhu looked at each other and said nothing.

To be honest, when Qin Zheng first came here, his impression of Jia Dongxu was pretty good, at least better than he had originally imagined.

However, after a long time, you can clearly feel this person's hypocrisy, but it is usually hidden very deeply.

The three of them drank for a while, and then Jia Dongxu looked at He Yuzhu, hesitant and wanting to say something.

Judging from his appearance, it should have nothing to do with him, so Qin Zheng just kept out of it.

"Zhu Zi, I want to discuss something with you."

He Yuzhu put down his wine bowl and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Tomorrow, Huairu's grandmother is having a birthday. I want to borrow your car to go to her mother's house. We are brothers who grew up together. You will definitely help me with this, right?"

Qin Zheng almost spit out his drink.

He speaks moral blackmail as soon as he opens his mouth. He is worthy of being Yi Zhonghai's disciple.

This Jia Dongxu is really shameless. At that time, a bicycle was like a sports car in the 21st century, and it was a valuable item.

That’s easy to say. It’s not impossible to borrow the car.

However, He Yuzhu just bought the bicycle today and he hasn't ridden it yet. Jia Dongxu actually asked to borrow it. This is too much.

"I……"

He Yuzhu almost spit out a mouthful of wine. He looked at Jia Dongxu in amazement, feeling very angry.

Does the face have to be so big?

Then, he thought: What should I do?

He Yuzhu's brain was spinning, but he still couldn't think of how to refuse.

Qin Zheng looked at He Yuzhu, whose expression changed constantly, and laughed secretly in his heart. He Yuzhu had several obvious shortcomings.

When Qin Zheng was watching TV, he once concluded that He Yuzhu had five major hobbies: eating, drinking, smoking, being lustful, and criticizing.

When He Daqing was around, He Yuzhu was stupid, liked to act violently and aggressively, was careless in his dealings with others, was extremely arrogant, spoke without thinking, was foul-mouthed, and had obvious character flaws.

After He Daqing ran away, in the past few years, because of Qin Zheng, He Yuzhu's bad mouth and impulsiveness have improved, and he can also avoid offending others actively, which is a lot of progress.

But He Yuzhu has another very obvious shortcoming, which is that he doesn't know how to refuse people.

This shortcoming was fully exploited by the people in the courtyard!

Some time ago, He Yuzhu relied on Qin Zheng to reject Yi Zhonghai's rude request. However, when it came to things that Qin Zheng did not explain, He Yuzhu's response was a bit bad. For example, now, He Yuzhu didn't know how to refuse.

Qin Zheng naturally would not help He Yuzhu. He had to let him experience it himself so that he would not be sucked dry in the future.

Jia Dongxu patiently explained:

"I also know that it's not very nice of me to borrow the car tomorrow when you just bought it today. If we take the bus, we have to wait for the bus and walk a long way. It's not very convenient to carry a child. I just thought that we can go there on the same day tomorrow and save some food for Huairu's parents."

In Qin Zheng's opinion, no matter how much Jia Dongxu explained, it could not dispel the suspicion that he wanted to take advantage of He Yuzhu.

"I just bought it, and I haven't even touched it yet."

"Hey, brother, please help me. It's really inconvenient."

He Yuzhu hesitated for a while, and finally said helplessly:

"Okay. Let's make a deal first. You have to take good care of it. If it breaks, buy me a new one."

After thinking for a long time, He Yuzhu finally did not say no.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zheng saw the corners of Jia Dongxu's mouth curled up and a slightly smug look appeared on his face.

"Humph, you are still that stupid pillar, I can still manipulate you at any time."

Jia Dongxu's mind was racing, and he felt very proud.

He knew Sha Zhu's character very well. He was going to the countryside tomorrow and riding a bicycle to save face. Therefore, he came here today on his own initiative, returned the eggs given by He Yuzhu to him, and then ate meat and drank wine. He was taking advantage of everyone, so how could he not be proud?

It can be said that he has gained a lot of advantages from He Yuzhu over the years, and he has often suffered setbacks, leaving him unable to speak out his grievances.

"hehe!"

Qin Zheng noticed the smug look that flashed across his face, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. This Jia Dongxu really had bad character. The saying "birds of a feather flock together" was really true.

Jia Dongxu was raised by Jia Zhang.

Putting aside the concepts of right and wrong, from the perspective of survival alone, Qin Zheng actually has some admiration for Jia Zhang.

This is not a lie!

Jia Zhang, a seemingly aggressive and unreasonable woman, often makes people think she is a brainless shrew, but in fact she is smart and wise.

In the courtyard full of calculations, she showed extraordinary intelligence and strategy.

First of all, she was able to raise her son Jia Dongxu alone.

In this courtyard full of calculations, only those who are smart enough can live well.

After Jia Zhang lost her husband at an early age, she raised her son healthily through her own efforts and wisdom. This proves that she is by no means as stupid as she appears to be, and that she could not have achieved these things just by throwing tantrums.

Secondly, Jia Zhang also asked her son to take Yi Zhonghai as his teacher, which further demonstrated her wisdom.

Jia Zhang understood that in order to live a good life in a courtyard house, one must have someone to rely on.

Yi Zhonghai was the best choice, as he not only had a high salary, but also had no children of his own. By letting her son become his apprentice, Jia Zhang not only had a backer, but also could get support from Yi Zhonghai through the master-apprentice relationship.

Again, Jia Zhang's attitude towards Qin Huairu also shows her cleverness.

Qin Huairu is a very resourceful woman who is doing very well in the factory. However, Jia Zhang has always been able to suppress and bully her.

By bullying Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang created an image of a good daughter-in-law and a good mother for Qin Huairu, and also helped her grandson to get married smoothly.

Although she was harsh in bullying Qin Huairu, she found a balance. She prevented Qin Huairu from remarrying, but also prevented her from bullying herself. This was extremely rare.

In addition, the reason why Jia Zhang was so arrogant and domineering in the compound was not only because she had Yi Zhonghai's support behind her, but also because she knew how to seek benefits and avoid harm, and knew who she could offend and who she could not offend.

She displays her sensitivity and vision for interests with her image of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Although Jia Zhang seemed to be scolding Qin Huairu for being immoral and forcing her to have an IUD, she did not eat less of the food Qin Huairu brought back. She often ate He Yuzhu's food and scolded He Yuzhu. This behavior was exactly how Jia Zhang conveyed her intentions to Qin Huairu.

Judging from the entire TV series, Jia Zhang lived a very good life in the courtyard. Although she experienced the loss of her husband and son, she did not suffer too much. She was always taken care of and was able to keep her own private money.

These are all manifestations of her wisdom.
