Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Seeing the people around him looking like they were about to eat him up, Yi Zhonghai subconsciously wiped the sweat off his forehead. He Yuzhu looked at Yi Zhonghai with a smile. Now the pressure was on Yi Zhonghai. He wanted to know what Yi Zhonghai was going to do. Yi Zhonghai wiped the sweat off his forehead awkwardly. He still wanted to put this burden on He Yuzhu.

He didn't care about the expressions of the people around him, and slapped the table hard. His eyes were red, and his face was ferocious. His face was as black as charcoal, and he pointed at He Yuzhu and said angrily, "Silly Zhu, we are teaching you a lesson now. You are extremely disrespectful to the elderly and the young, and everyone thinks that your behavior is wrong. So we have to hold a general meeting to criticize you."

"Filial piety, respect for elders and love for the young are the eternal traditions of our nation. How old is Mrs. Long now? Can't you just let your daughter-in-law take good care of her?" He Yuzhu smiled and said, "What you mean is, no matter who it is, as long as they are old, they are elders and we should respect them, right?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded with great satisfaction. He felt that this silly Zhu must have known his mistakes to say these words. Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction and said, "It is said that knowing one's mistakes can lead to great improvement. Now that you know you have done something wrong, isn't it too late? Since you have already known your mistakes, you should wait and invite Old Lady Long to your home. Take good care of Old Lady Long. It will not do any harm to you young people."

Yi Zhonghai became more and more excited as he spoke, so he said to the young people in the yard very happily, "On this occasion, I have to say something nice to our young people. We old people have worked hard for most of our lives, and you must respect us old people. What the old people say is to protect you, so you must not be ungrateful."

He Yuzhu snorted coldly, he stood up and said, "Yi Zhonghai, shut up." He Yuzhu glanced at Xu Damao and said, "Da Mao, didn't you buy a big turtle tonight?" Xu Damao curled his lips and said unhappily, "You are a chef, but that is a thousand-year-old turtle. But I finally got it back to honor my father."

He Yuzhu took out 10 yuan from his pocket and said, "If you sell that turtle to me, I'll give you this 10 yuan." Xu Damao scratched his head and said, "No, you are crazy. Why do you want to buy my old turtle?" He Yuzhu smiled and said, "There is an old man in our yard who has lacked love since he was a child. I plan to buy your old turtle and give it to the old man. From now on, this old turtle will be the old man's ancestor."

Hearing what He Yuzhu said, everyone in the yard laughed. Even the young wives covered their mouths and laughed secretly. Xu Damao smiled and said cheerfully, "Okay, okay, then I, Xu Damao, will help you." Xu Damao wanted to take the 10 yuan from He Yuzhu, but Yi Zhonghai yelled, "Silly Zhu, do you know what you are talking about? You dare to call me a turtle? I will never let you go."

He Yuzhu smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Hey, Uncle No. 4, what you said is a little wrong. When did I, He Yuzhu, call you a turtle bastard? I, He Yuzhu, respect you the most." Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he gasped and covered his chest with his left hand. He pointed at He Yuzhu with his right hand and said, "You asked me to recognize a turtle as my ancestor. Isn't this obviously bullying me? Everyone in the courtyard, please judge for me. Who can recognize a turtle as his ancestor?"

Xu Damao scratched his head and said, "Hey, this turtle I bought from outside is called old turtle, also known as turtle. How can you people be so uneducated?" He Yuzhu smiled and waved his hand and said, "Hey, look at what you said. Didn't you just say that old lady Long is quite old, and let us young people call her ancestor. I think the old turtle in Xu Damao's hand should be older than old lady Long."

Xu Damao nodded with a smile and said, "Zhu Zi, don't worry. My old turtle has lived for a hundred years. This is not what I said, but what the boss who sold it to me said. I have asked someone to verify it. The old turtle must be over a hundred years old." He Yuzhu nodded with a smile and said, "Oh, it's over 100 years old, so it's just right to buy it for the old man as an ancestor."

Yi Zhonghai's old face turned dark, and he threw the teacup on the table and cursed, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can this person be the same as an animal? Have you ever seen anyone recognize an animal as his ancestor?" He Yuzhu nodded and said with a smile, "Oh, I understand. You mean to find someone older than you so that you can recognize him as your ancestor, right?"

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened. This silly Zhu is really a bastard. How should he answer now? Should he answer yes or no? Yi Zhonghai frowned and was about to say something. Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "Old Yi, you really lack love like Zhuzi said. There is an old man over 4 years old in my hometown. How about I invite him to our courtyard and you can recognize him as your ancestor."

Liu Haizhong also sneered at Yi Zhonghai's constant comments about what kind of ancestor Old Lady Long was. He had never been so filial to his own ancestors. And Old Lady Long was very greedy. Last time, he finally bought a roast chicken and was just about to have a good meal. Because he didn't close the door, Old Lady Long suddenly rushed in and ate most of his roast chicken.

She took the remaining half of the roast chicken away, saying that she wanted to replenish her body and eat it tomorrow. He still feels uncomfortable in his heart, so he doesn't want to have such an old ancestor in the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Haizhong fiercely and said, "Old Liu, what's going on with you? The big guys in the courtyard don't understand, don't you, the second uncle, understand?"

"Old Mrs. Long is very old, and it's late autumn now. If there's no one to take care of her, the people in the street office will definitely not let us go if anything happens to her. By then, you will definitely lose your position as the second uncle."
