Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Chapter 151 The Age of Hardship and Simplicity

He Yuzhu sighed. He had also learned about the frugality of people in this era in the later life. He also didn't understand why the older generation would pick up a few grains of rice dropped on the ground. They were reluctant to throw away old clothes until they were worn out. Today's incident taught him a lesson, but that was all. He didn't want to sleep every night under the quilt that Jia Zhang had defecated on. Although he admired these people's frugality, he couldn't accept it.

The third aunt was very quick. She and her three sons quickly cleaned up He Yuzhu's house. He Yuzhu sighed, fortunately his sister's room was not dirty. Tonight, the three of them had to squeeze into the small room of his sister. Fortunately, there was a kang in his sister's room, which was enough for the three of them to sleep.

Looking at the furniture scratched by the kitchen knife, Qin Huairu's pretty face turned red with anger. Touching the surface of the furniture, she started crying. Patting Qin Huairu on the shoulder, he said, "It's okay, don't cry. Jia Dongxu will definitely come to compensate you later, and then we will replace the furniture."

He Yuzhu was also very distressed. He had finally found someone to beat him up. He hadn't even used him for a few months, and he was already in this state. Qin Huairu was crying, and He Yuzhu was heartbroken. He hugged his wife, wiped the tears from his face and said, "If you cry again, it will not look good."

The ignorant He Yushui hugged her sister-in-law's thigh, made a face, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't cry, don't cry." Qin Huairu burst out laughing, hugged her sister-in-law and kissed her. She gritted her teeth and said to her husband, "This old thing, she will be struck by lightning. It's really a sin. Such a good thing was destroyed by him in a few seconds. It should be locked up for a while."

He Yuzhu looked at the furniture and said, "Tomorrow, I will go find the furniture maker Guo and ask him to repair the furniture. With the money Jia Dongxu pays us, we can buy a sewing machine for our family. Don't cry anymore, be cheerful. This time, the Jia family will suffer a lot if it doesn't die."

Qin Huairu nodded. At this time, there was a knock on the door. He Yuzhu opened it with a dark face. It was indeed Yi Zhonghai and his apprentice, as well as Liu Haizhong who came to join in the fun, followed by the neighbors of the courtyard who were also watching the fun. Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, you should quickly issue a letter of apology. Your aunt is old and can't stand the life in prison."

"If you keep talking nonsense, we have nothing to talk about. I have only cleaned up my house for a short time, and that old guy has turned it into this state. If this happened to you, could you forgive him?" He Yuzhu did not give Yi Zhonghai any face at all, and pointed at his nose and scolded him mercilessly.

Xu Damao crossed his chest and said with a smile, "Yeah, I would feel bad if my family was treated like this. Uncle, you are sitting too crookedly. You are not the uncle in our courtyard, you are the uncle of the Jia family."

He Yuzhu smiled, thinking that Xu Damao's brain was really good. He was indeed the best person in the original novel, and the one who saw things most clearly. Yi Zhonghai looked dark-faced, glared at Xu Damao fiercely, and cursed, "Xu Damao, don't talk nonsense. I am just talking about the facts. I am a very fair person."

The people in the yard sneered in their hearts. They were not fools and naturally knew that Yi Zhonghai was in trouble. But they were just ordinary people and did not dare to go against Yi Zhonghai. They could only shrink their heads and watch this scene. As long as the fire did not burn on them, it had nothing to do with them.

Xu Damao spoke for him, so he had to support Xu Damao. He nodded and said with a smile, "I think what Damao said makes sense. Yi Zhonghai, your butt is not crooked, but it can't be crooked any more. Do you know how much money I lost today? 200 yuan plus the furniture and other things, nearly 400 yuan. If this happened to you, would you let it go?"

Jia Dongxu said with red eyes, "Silly Zhu, stop talking nonsense. My mother said that he didn't steal your family's money. You framed him. You are really cruel. You want to blackmail our family for more than 200 yuan, no, 400 yuan." He Yuzhu sneered in his heart. It is obvious that I want to blackmail your family. What can you do?

He Yuzhu smiled, and said to the neighbors in the courtyard, "Dear neighbors, do you think what Jia Zhang said is trustworthy?" A pinched voice came out, saying, "Can Jia Zhang's words be trusted? That's only possible if a sow can climb a tree."

Everyone in the yard burst into laughter. Really? Who can believe what a thief says? Jia Dongxu looked at the disbelieving eyes of these people, stamped his feet and said, "You must believe my mother, my mother will never lie." Xu Damao smiled and said, "Brother Dongxu, it is very difficult for us to believe Aunt Zhang."

Yan Jiecheng burst out laughing. Yan Fugui glared at his son and said to Jia Dongxu with a wry smile, "Dongxu, you still have to ask your mother. You know what kind of person your mother is. She might have hidden the 200 yuan from Zhuzi's family somewhere! Return the money quickly, and we can still be good neighbors."

The onlookers nodded one after another. Blacksmith Sun said, "Yes, Dongxu. You stole half a piece of iron from my house last time, and even when I found out, you refused to admit it. You have to talk to your mother and change this bad habit." Sister Hua also said, "We bought some winter cabbage some time ago, and three cabbages were gone while I was going to the toilet. I think your family was having stir-fried cabbage with meat that night. You must know where the cabbage came from."

Ma Xiaoya also complained, "My mother came to visit me from the countryside last month and brought me some sweet potatoes. Not long after I put them in the cellar, I saw Aunt Jia take out two sweet potatoes from the cellar. When I asked her, she refused to admit it and insisted that the sweet potatoes belonged to your family. I have counted the number of sweet potatoes in our house! I am sure that your mother stole them."

With these three people at the beginning, people in the yard were talking about how Jia Zhang stole or took things from their family. Some took a few sweet potatoes, some took a few radish strips and a large piece of mixed garlic. This made Jia Dongxu's face red with anger. His mother really made him look good. He wanted to find a rat hole to crawl into, so that he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
