Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Tired of crying and jumping, Jia Zhang squatted in the corner and looked out the window with a dazed look. When Jia Dongxu saw this scene, his heart felt like it was stabbed by needles. She thought for a while and said, "Mother, I have just understood the situation. If you don't compensate for the loss of Sha Zhu's family, you will be exiled to the quarry outside the city. Even men can't stand it there, let alone an old lady like you. Besides, there is no need to pay back the 400 yuan from the master. You can take out 400 yuan from your vault and give it to Sha Zhu to buy safety."

When Jia Zhang heard what her son said, her fat face was full of pain. She gritted her teeth and said, "You can't touch that money. If you touch it, it means you are changing my fate. That is my old lady's pension money. You damned fool Zhu, you will die a miserable death. Dongxu, oh, by the way, go and borrow 400 yuan from your wife. Your wife is a second-level fitter and her salary is much higher than yours."

Jia Zhang felt that she was very smart now. She let her son borrow money from her wife, so she didn't have to use her own treasury. As for paying it back, Jia Zhang had never thought about it. Thinking of this, she smiled on her fat face. She felt that she was very smart now. Scholars often say that she is the living Zhuge Liang.

Jia Dongxu interrupted his mother's wild thoughts and gave her a critical hit. Jia Dongxu sighed and said, "Mom, I asked Chunhua before I left. She promised to only give 10 yuan and she would not care about the rest." Jia Zhang's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she yelled at the top of her voice, "Why doesn't he care? She is the daughter-in-law of our Jia family. Hey, Old Jia, you old thing, come up and see me quickly, you are bullying me."

As he spoke, he began to cry, which made Jia Dongxu outside furious. He sighed and said, "I told you to stop crying, okay? We have to settle this matter quickly. We have to send you to the quarry outside the city before you can calm down."

Feeling that her own good son actually dared to contradict her, Jia Zhang started to cry at the top of her lungs. Sitting on the ground, shaking her two fat hands, she cried and shouted, "Old Jia, please come up and take a look at your unfilial son. He is so unfilial that he wants to bully me, an old woman, to death. Please come up and take me away quickly, so that I don't have to suffer here."

The police officer nearby had a gloomy face. He hit the railing with his baton and said, "Shut up. If you dare to talk about feudal superstition again, I will have to lock you up for a long time. You went to someone else's house to cause damage. How could you not think about the consequences now? Do you still want to talk? If not, go back to Jianshe."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang immediately closed her mouth, showed a flattering smile, and said, "Comrade, I still want to say a few words to my son. You are a magnanimous old man, so don't bother with an old woman like me." The prison guard next to her nodded and dozed off with his arms folded. This old lady is really annoying, delaying their time to get off work.

In He Yuzhu's house in the courtyard, Qin Huairu sat on a stool and asked her husband, "Zhuzi, do you think they can really compensate our family 800 yuan? I have never seen so much money in my life." He Yuzhu smiled and nodded and said, "It should be close to it. The old man Jia Zhang is the most cherished person. He dare not go to the quarry at all."

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "That's true. Several people from our village have been arrested before. They were all strong young men. Their families couldn't afford to compensate the victims, so they had to work in the quarry. By the time they collected enough money to pay off the victims, they were so thin when they were released. From then on, the young people in our village didn't dare to break the law, for fear of ending up like them."

He Yushui said angrily, "I think we should put that old witch in jail, so that we can teach her a profound lesson." Looking at his angry sister, He Yuzhu touched her head and said, "Girl, there is no need to put someone in jail to punish him. Do you think that old woman regards his pension money as her life?"

"We can dig a piece of meat from his body today, which is much better than sending him to jail. This way she will feel pain and won't dare to mess with our family in the future. I originally wanted to send him to jail, but the old woman is old after all. Once any problem arises, it will be a big trouble. We take this money, and it can also make the old lady feel pain for a while."

Qin Huairu felt that her man was right, and nodded with a smile and said, "Zhu Zi, I think you are right. Those who bully us must be taught a profound lesson. That is 800 yuan. In our Qinjiazhuang, even an ordinary person cannot save it in 10 years. Even if it is only 400 yuan, the old lady will feel the pain for a while. To punish others, you have to stab him in the heart."

He Yuzhu nodded with a smile, kissed him on the face and said, "Yes, our Huairu is the smartest." This made Qin Huairu on the side very embarrassed. She lightly hit He Yuzhu and said, "Yushui is still there." He Yushui smiled and said, "I want a kiss too, I want a kiss too."

In Yi Zhonghai's home, Bai Xiuying sat on the bedside and sighed. He really felt sorry for the 400 yuan. Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "Okay, it's just 400 yuan, right? I can earn it back in a few months. Compared with our retirement, it's not worth mentioning. Go cook something for me. I'm hungry now."

Bai Xiuying looked at her man with bright eyes, and she felt guilty in her heart. If Bai Xiuying had not been unable to have children, her man would not have done these things. She cried out of guilt, and Yi Zhonghai was very annoyed. He really hated women crying next to him.

Frowning, he said, "No, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying again?" Bai Xiuying wiped her tears and said, "Zhong Hai, I'm really sorry for you. I didn't give you a child in this life, and you are still calculating like this when you are old. Otherwise, let's get a divorce. With such a high monthly salary, you will definitely be able to find a woman who can give you a son."
