Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

I thought Yan Bugui was getting angry, but Yan Jiecheng was even more irritable, and asked in a tough tone:

"I have made up my mind several times. Why is my mother not sleeping in the middle of the night and coming here to eavesdrop? Isn't this just causing trouble? I have been married for a long time!"

The three aunts argued:

"It's not my personal hobby. I'm just anxious to have a grandchild. You've been married for a while, so what's wrong with me being anxious?"

"Then just listen. What does it mean to be startled? You almost scared me to death in the middle of the night!"

The three aunts replied unhappily:

"I was almost scared to death. Who told you to talk nonsense and say that I really couldn't do it anymore..."

Yan Jiecheng was probably speechless, and the noise in the room stopped and gradually became quiet.

Zhang Xingwang and the middle-aged lady who came to inquire nodded to each other and prepared to part ways.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw the deaf old lady waving at him anxiously. As a result, Zhang Xingwang, who did not run away at the first moment, was discovered by Yan Jiecheng who had just gone out. He pointed at Zhang Xingwang and snorted heavily, then went back in a rage.

Then the father and son of the Yan family came out together to confront Zhang Xingwang. The atmosphere became awkward again until the third aunt couldn't help but say:

"How come you, a shameless person, like to eavesdrop?"

This was the fuse that was lit. Zhang Xingwang knew he was in the wrong and didn't say anything. He just replied perfunctorily:

"I was just passing by. The third uncle's voice was a bit loud, and I was just listening to him voluntarily. Otherwise, I'll leave first. The old lady still wants to talk to me..."

Yan Bugui couldn't hold it in any longer and pointed at Zhang Xingwang and said loudly:

"You are still working at the street office like this. You are morally corrupt. I will report this to your leader!"

Zhang Xingwang, who originally wanted to keep things quiet, could only passively fight back. After all, the other party had already sounded the battle horn:

"Third uncle, you are right to say so, but you cannot blame me for my moral corruption. You are a scholar, and you know that bad things spread far and wide.

It's all because of your profession. Teachers all have loud voices. The words you just said were clear and loud, and the content was simple, straightforward and fascinating. You are worthy of being a veteran teacher with many years of experience.

As soon as you opened your mouth, I felt like I was back in school, so I couldn't help but listen to a few of your words. What do you think of this explanation? If you think it's inappropriate, I'll think of other explanations!"

Before Yan Bugui could say anything, Yan Jiecheng was dumbfounded. He recalled his school days and said to Yan Bugui:

"Dad, it's all your fault!"

"Why are you blaming me? Don't listen to that kid's nonsense. I just said a few words, and I didn't eavesdrop. What's important now is the moral character of Zhang. I'll go find Lao Liu in a while. If Lao Liu doesn't care, I'll go to the street office!"

Zhang Xingwang sighed. It seemed that this matter might be the second fire that he started as a new official. He was familiar with the situation and it would set him on fire again.

In my heart, I cursed myself for not living up to expectations. I had few entertainment activities and couldn't gossip about Yan Jiecheng's affairs.

Now that it has become like this, I helplessly replied:

"Well...if you want to go, go ahead. But I have to remind you that when you get there, go directly to the Dispute Resolution Team. They are responsible for this matter, and the team leader is the most outstanding one among them..."

After saying this, he ignored Yan Bugui's harsh words "Just wait for me" and went to the deaf old lady's room.

The old lady looked healthy, but her face was filled with impatience. Before Zhang Xingwang could sit down, she grabbed his sleeve and asked,

"Zhang family boy, you are so cunning and like to wander around the streets. Can you help the old lady get some meat?"

"You are such a greedy old lady. Is Brother Zhuzi treating you badly? That shouldn't be the case."

"You think everyone misses you, my grandson is fine, I prepared this for him!"

This was something new. After Zhang Xingwang asked for a long time and repeatedly assured her that he would not intercept her, the old lady finally told the truth.

She said it was prepared for Cheng Gongan, and she said with a smile that the girl was good in every way and she had made inquiries in all aspects. The girl was filial and fair-skinned, but she could not stand the sun.

"Didn't Brother Zhuzi tell you? Cheng Gongan doesn't like him at all, and that girl is not the type Brother Zhuzi likes."

The old lady didn't believe it and replied nonchalantly:

"I'm too old to be fooled by her. I don't think I can go around asking around for Zhuzi. I've asked the matchmaker in the north of the city to ask around. I think this time it's almost certain. Gong An is good. Zhuzi is so stubborn that only Gong An can handle him."

"I heard this morning that Jia's sister-in-law wanted to introduce a girl from her village to Brother Zhuzi, and Brother Zhuzi also agreed to give her a box lunch, so you should not waste your time."

After hearing this, the deaf old lady was puzzled as to how this guy could listen to everything. But when she thought of her unreliable grandson Sha Zhu, she blurted out:

"This mindless thing..."

Looking at Zhang Xingwang who was about to leave, he sighed deeply, took out two dollars, handed them to Zhang Xingwang and said:

"Please help me prepare some braised meat. I will keep it for myself and keep myself healthy so that I won't be pissed off by this idiot!"

Zhang Xingwang took the money, looked at the old lady's disappointed expression, and said casually:

"Don't think too much, the rural ones are not bad either. It would be great if you could find someone like the sister-in-law of the Jia family, who is capable and knows how to take care of the elderly. Except for the lower ration of food, she is absolutely impeccable."

The old lady felt so distressed when she heard this that she decisively took out another dollar and asked him to buy it back as soon as possible, saying that she would not tell him who his grandson would be with beforehand and that he had to take good care of Jia Zhangshi, and she also asked Zhang Xingwang to help with this...

This is a bit difficult. Judging people is not Zhang Xingwang's strong point. After all, he couldn't even keep an eye on his own girlfriend. After teaching her the song, she ran away before he could even listen to her sing a few times...

When I got home and saw Wang Xiulan busy picking wild vegetables, and looking at the big basket on the ground, I felt that my mother had worked really hard today. After asking, I found out that 90% of it was sent by my eldest cousin. Not only did he give her wild vegetables, but he also paid her ten yuan as usual.

But from what Wang Xiulan said, the situation at her aunt's house has not been good recently. She was determined not to take him in, but her nephew ran away so fast that he didn't even want the basket...

After thinking about the way my cousin repays his debts, I think it is very reasonable. However, according to this repayment method, my cousin will probably lose seven or eight baskets of money...

Zhang Xingwang again made dinner. My mother has had too many headaches recently. She said that the headaches have turned into itching in the past two days.

For several days in a row, I stayed away from the kitchen every time I cooked, and I stayed away from it. I became more and more picky about food, and I said every dish was too greasy.

Today, the family seemed very happy looking at the wild vegetables on the table. As soon as the family started eating, they heard the little girl squinting her eyes and smiling:

"Brother is really good at cooking. This is the best wild vegetable I've ever eaten in my life!"

Wang Xiulan tasted a few mouthfuls of it, but then she fell silent again. This unbeliever started to slurp again...
