Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Liu Chunhua didn't believe a word of Jia Zhang's nonsense. Although she had just married into this courtyard, she knew a little about her mother-in-law. Although she couldn't be said to be hated by heaven and people, it was true that her mother-in-law was hated by everyone.

Jia Zhang kept talking about how hard she worked, but Liu Chunhua didn't hear a word. Jia Zhang took a sip of water, looked at her son Jia Dongxu, and nodded with satisfaction. After thinking about it, she said her plan, "You two are still very young. When you get your salary, keep it with me."

Liu Chunhua's eyes widened, and he pointed at his nose and said, "What did you say? Why should I let you keep my salary?" Liu Chunhua was definitely not a fool. She wondered in her heart whether this old woman was trying to intimidate her. Anyway, whether it was a show of force or not, she would definitely not let her keep her salary.

Jia Zhang's fat face was very unhappy. She said without any embarrassment, "Why? Because I am your mother-in-law and I have the final say in this family. I have been the head of the Jia family for my whole life. Do you, the new daughter-in-law, want to make trouble?"

Liu Chunhua curled her lips and said, "What's wrong with mother-in-law? Now it's after liberation, do you still think it's the old society? The emphasis is on the three obediences and four virtues. I can tell you that women are now liberated and there is no one oppressing them. I will definitely not hand over my salary, and in the future, Dongxu's salary must be kept by us two young people."

This hurt Jia Zhang's heart. In her inner world, nothing or anyone could compare to the sense of security that money brought her. She was like a rooster with its feathers blown off. She yelled at the top of her voice, "You bastard, I am your mother-in-law. You little bitch, do you want to turn the world upside down? Today, I will teach you some rules and let you know how to be a daughter-in-law of our Jia family."

Liu Chunhua rolled up her sleeves late and said, "Oh, it seems you want to fight with me. Who is afraid of who?" But looking at Liu Chunhua's body, Jia Zhang was the first to be scared. She was an old woman in her 50s, how could she beat a young man in his 20s. But if she didn't fight, she would lose face, so she had to use her ability to throw a tantrum.

He sat down on the ground and called Lao Jia skillfully. This made Jia Dongxu frown, and Liu Chunhua beside him was also very speechless. She had heard before that the most powerful magic weapon of women was crying, making a fuss, and hanging herself. She used to sneer at it, but now it seems that she, Liu Chunhua, is superficial. With a dark face, he said, "What do you want to do? Do you really want to tear your face apart?"

After all, this old woman is also her husband's mother and Liu Chunhua's mother-in-law. Jia Zhangshi didn't care about that. She choked and cried, "Hey, I'm in my hometown, come up and take a look. My son and daughter-in-law are not filial, and they want to drive me, an old woman, to death. Oh my God, just open your eyes and take a look...."

This scene made Xu Gaoshan open his mouth wide. It was also the first time for him to see Jia Zhang summoning spirits. Most people who had experienced the old society believed in this. Xu Gaoshan snorted coldly and said, "What are you doing? Can't you talk about it calmly? Sister Jia, today is your son's wedding day. Aren't you afraid? Aren't you afraid that you will really summon Brother Jia?"

He had heard of Jia Zhang's shrewishness, but he didn't expect to be taught a lesson today. He was glad that he didn't continue to communicate with this old shrew. Now he regretted taking advantage of this little advantage. Jia Zhang was also very scared. Her husband had been dead for many years. If she said that she had never done anything to let her husband down, she would probably not believe it herself.

He had no choice but to shut up. Xu Gaoshan was right. Today was his son's wedding day. He absolutely could not summon the spirit at this critical moment. He glared at his son and daughter-in-law fiercely and said, "I'll let you go today, but this matter is not over yet. Let's talk about it after you two finish setting up the banquet."

Jia Zhang snorted coldly, like a victorious old hen, and walked out of the house in a rage. Jia Dongxu expressed his gratitude to Xu Gaoshan, who waved his hand and said, "Alas, I am also an old friend of your father. I didn't expect your mother to become like this now. It's hard for you, Dongxu. Hurry up and ask the helpers to wash the vegetables. I will start preparing for the feast now."

Jia Dongxu nodded repeatedly and ran out to greet people. Liu Chunhua followed her husband and went to work. When they arrived at the middle courtyard, Jia Dongxu was shocked. The courtyard was empty except for the vegetables that Jia Dongxu and his mother had moved out.

He shouted loudly, "Where are the people? Where are all the people in the yard?" Jia Zhang came in from outside, yawning, and said, "Dongxu, what are you shouting for?" Jia Dongxu pointed to the yard and said, "Where are the big guys in the yard? Didn't you say that the neighbors in the yard would help our family?"

Yi Zhonghai and his wife and Yan Fuguier, who did not run away, walked from the backyard to the middle yard. Yan Fuguier also saw the scene in the middle yard, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "I didn't expect these people to run away." Yi Zhonghai asked, "Old Yan, what do you mean? Why are these people running away? Why are they running away?"

Yan Fugui sighed and told everyone what happened yesterday and what they thought. Jia Dongxu was upset and yelled, "My master and I felt that my mother was wrong yesterday, so we didn't invite everyone. We didn't charge three yuan per person, and only one person from the family could come. Everyone misunderstood."

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "Oh, I didn't expect it to be like this. If we had known, we should have explained it last night. How about we not do it today and change the time. Otherwise, with just a few of us, you won't be able to even get a table together today."

The purpose of holding a banquet is to make it lively. If Jia Dongxu only had one table of people at the banquet, he would definitely become the topic of the year. Jia Dongxu was thinking with a dark face whether he should change the time of the banquet. Jia Zhang said unhappily, "Yi Zhonghai, you are talking nicely. Look at the weather now. If we change the time, these prepared dishes will be ruined? Who will compensate our family for these losses, you?"
