Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Bai Xiuying was so angry that she burst into tears. She was even more angry when she saw the look in Jia Zhang's eyes. She looked at her man with snot and tears. When she saw Yi Zhonghai's indifferent look, Bai Xiuying felt that her heart was dead at this moment. With a dark face, she would never serve Zhang and her son like an old nanny.

Xu Erni on the side said quickly and considerately, "Master's wife, let me help you. Let's go to the kitchen and cook something. Today is such a good holiday, there's no need to ruin your mood." Bai Xiuying could only snort coldly and climb down the ladder.

Although he said so, if he divorced Yi Zhonghai, he couldn't even support himself. He took Xu Erni into the kitchen with grievance, secretly hating his belly. If he really gave birth to a son, he would have said he would not do anything. But this is just a thought. A woman without a child naturally has less say than others.

Bai Xiuying's cooking skills were OK. Although she couldn't compare with chefs like He Yuzhu, she was much better than the cooking skills of ordinary families. She prepared four dishes and a soup with great skill. As soon as the dishes were placed on the table, Jia Zhangshi started eating without any hesitation. She was just like an old sow, afraid that others would take away all her food.

Yi Zhonghai looked very unhappy, especially the old lady's face, which was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping with water. He threw chopsticks on the table and started to scold without mercy. "I said, are some people really the reincarnation of sows? How can they eat so ugly? You have eaten the dishes like this, what are the rest of us going to eat? Today is New Year's Day, a big day of the year. Don't you know how to write the word shame? You really don't know what you are talking about."

Old lady Long was quite old, and she was merciless when scolding people. She didn't care about the dark face of Jia Zhang and started scolding. Jia Zhang didn't care whether you, the deaf old lady, scolded her or not. In this day and age, being scolded a few times can make you full, so Jia Zhang was very happy to be scolded. As if no one said anything to her, she picked up the steamed bread on the table and ate one in each hand.

Jia Dongxu and Xu Erni were young people who still had some dignity, but when they saw their mother and mother-in-law behave like this, they felt a little embarrassed. Especially as the head of the family, Jia Dongxu felt very embarrassed. Jia Dongxu glared at his mother and said, "Mom, eat slowly. No one in the room is going to grab the food from you. Everyone here is a civilized person. You should eat and sit properly."

Jia Zhang felt choking, so she took Yi Zhonghai's cup and took a big gulp. Yi Zhonghai felt sick, because he thought the cup had been used by Jia Zhang, so he didn't want to use it again. He ate in a hurry, and the food got stuck in his throat, so he coughed a few times.

After finally exhaling a breath of foul air, Jia Zhang snorted coldly and said, "What kind of intellectuals are you? The most important thing for me is to have enough food to eat. We all come from poor rural backgrounds, so don't get involved in those fancy things. Especially you, Old Yi. I remember you seem to be from Yijia Village, the farthest neighbor of Zhangjia Village. We are all farmers with muddy feet, so don't look down on someone who is dark. Come on, come on, eat too, don't let me eat alone."

Old Lady Long cursed with a dark face, "Eat, eat, eat shit. Look, is there any food on the table? You ate all the food on the table." Old Lady Long felt that she was too old to even have a bit of meat to eat, because it was all eaten by this old sow. This made Old Lady Long very angry, and she looked at Yi Zhonghai with gnashing teeth.

Yi Zhonghai smiled awkwardly, remembering that his apprentice had given him two goose eggs the day before yesterday. He was reluctant to eat those two goose eggs, but seeing that Old Lady Long had been wronged in their home today, he said to his daughter-in-law beside him, "Xiuying, take out the goose egg that my apprentice gave me the day before yesterday. Let the old lady have a meal, and it can also be regarded as a filial tribute from us younger generations."

Bai Xiuying looked at Old Lady Long, and then at her husband. As an extremely traditional woman, what her husband said was like an imperial decree to her. She nodded quickly and went to the kitchen to cook goose eggs. Old Lady Long nodded with satisfaction. His old lady was so old, and she didn't eat something good. Doesn't this show that Yi Zhonghai is definitely unfilial? His old lady is the ancestor of the courtyard, and these little kids must respect and love her.

Master Yi Zhonghai and his apprentice drank liquor that cost 20 cents per pound. Yi Zhonghai couldn't bear to drink liquor that cost 20 cents per pound. Although Yi Zhonghai's salary was quite high, because he and his wife didn't have a child yet, they kept most of their money in the bank, ready to use it for their retirement.

Since today is New Year's Day, Yi Zhonghai wanted to have a good drink. He specially asked Jia Dongxu to get some wine. After taking a sip of wine, Yi Zhonghai said, "People must be filial to their parents and respect their elders. Respecting the elderly is a fine tradition of our entire nation. As a new generation of young people, Dongxu, you must not learn bad things from others. You must respect the elderly in the yard. The elderly have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. If you can get the guidance of these elderly people, your life will definitely get better and better in the future."

Jia Dongxu nodded awkwardly. Although he thought Yi Zhonghai's words were nonsense, who asked him to be his master? He took a sip of the wine in the glass, sighed and said, "Master, I have been thinking recently that this silly Zhu is really getting too much. He eats a lot of fish and meat in the yard every day. What should the other people in the yard do? I think you should take a chance to talk to him. You are the elder in the yard, and he will definitely listen to you."

Yi Zhonghai frowned. Although he believed what he said sometimes, he also knew that some of his words were exaggerated. Sometimes he believed what he said. It is true that a lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth. He sighed helplessly and said angrily, "Dongxu, Zhuzi has changed. He is no longer the good neighbor who loves his neighbors and helps the elderly. He has become selfish and doesn't take us old neighbors seriously."
