Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

He Yuzhu didn't want to pay attention to Xu Erni. Xu Erni didn't know why He Yuzhu was so hostile to her. Wasn't she pretty? She wasn't as pretty as Qin Huairu, but wouldn't he feel tired of eating the same dish for a long time? She looked at He Yuzhu with tears in her eyes, and when she saw no reaction, she looked at Qin Huairu again.

The sickly look of Xi Shi made the men in the yard a little unhappy. Chen Xiaojun said to He Yuzhu with a bad face, "Hey, He Yuzhu, you are now a cook and canteen director in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. It is not a big deal for you to bring some lunch boxes to Jia's sister-in-law, but this lunch box is the prerequisite for Jia's sister-in-law to have a safe birth."

With a leader, the other men in the yard, who looked like Xu Erni with eyes wide open, started talking at once. He Yuzhu snorted coldly and said, "What do you know? You know nothing. The leftovers in the canteen are the welfare of the people in the kitchen. As a canteen director, I have the right to share the food with those ordinary kitchen workers. But don't you understand what the result is? Although the workers don't say anything to my face, they will definitely resent me behind my back."

This made Qin Huairu, who was about to tell her husband, shut up. Her husband hadn't brought leftovers home for a long time. She didn't expect that there was such a big trick. She could imagine that if her husband really brought leftovers from the kitchen to Xu Erni, rumors would be inevitable. The most difficult thing was that the people in the kitchen pretended to obey her husband but secretly disobeyed him.

Yi Zhonghai said hurriedly, "You are doing good things, and good things should be praised. I believe that when the workers in the kitchen know about this, they will definitely agree with it." He Yuzhu snorted and said, "I don't know whether they agree or not, but they will definitely trip me up behind my back. Xu Erni is Jia Dongxu's wife, not mine, so I definitely have no obligation to help their family. Come on, the kind-hearted people in the courtyard, if anyone is willing to help the Jia family, I believe Aunt Jia will definitely be grateful to them."

Jia Zhang was furious at He Yuzhu's scolding and was about to curse. But she also knew that He Yuzhu would definitely not help her family, but it would be a good choice to let these people in the courtyard to help her. She immediately smiled on her fat face and said, "Yes, yes, everyone in the courtyard, Dongxu grew up under your care. You don't want to see Dongxu suffer so much, right? I suggest that we hold a meeting of the whole courtyard to discuss donating money to our son."

The neighbors in the courtyard were speechless. It can be said that this old man's face was thicker than the bend of the city wall. Liu Haizhong was naturally unwilling to help Jia Dongxu, and hurriedly said, "Come on, I think what Zhuzi said is right. Any man should have the responsibility to support his wife and children. If Jia Dongxu can't even support his wife, then he really doesn't need to be a man."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Haizhong with some displeasure, thought for a moment and said, "Dongxu's monthly salary is only about 20 yuan, but he has to bear the rations for a family of three. The old sister-in-law and Dongxu's wife don't have their rations, and once they are finished, they have to go to the pigeon market to buy and sell. Everyone may have been to the pigeon market, and the things there are so expensive. We are all people from the same courtyard, and we have to support each other when one side is in trouble."

Xu Damao curled his lips. After six months of study, he was qualified for the job of projectionist at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. He would go to the countryside to show movies every once in a while. During this time, he also hooked up with a widow in the countryside. What would Jia Dongxu bring to him if he donated money to him? It would be better to spend the little money he saved on the widow.

The widow was a person who understood men very well. As long as she gave him some money, she would always serve Xu Damao comfortably. During this period, Xu Damao really did not want to leave. If he had not had to report to the steel mill, he might have stayed in the village for a few days. When he heard that they wanted to donate to the Jia family, he was unwilling to say, "Whoever wants to donate can donate, but I won't donate anyway. I think Zhuzi is right. If a grown man can't even support his wife and children, is he still a man?"

Yi Zhonghai had a dark face and yelled, "Xu Damao, you..." Without He Yuzhu as his golden fighter, Xu Damao was not afraid of Yi Zhonghai at all. Xu Damao also knew that if he was timid, he would be bullied by Yi Zhonghai in the future. It's better to be a troublemaker. The reputation of a troublemaker may be bad, but a troublemaker lives a cool life.

He rolled his eyes, sneered and said, "What's wrong with me? Is there anything wrong with what I said just now? Let alone Jia Dongxu, who earns more than 20 yuan a month, look at Guo Laowai in the backyard. He is an old man in his 50s or nearly 60s, getting up early and going to bed late to pick up garbage to raise his two grandchildren. He refused to ask the neighbors in the courtyard for help. People like him are real men."

The neighbors all thought that what Xu Damao said made sense. Many people in the courtyard still admired Guo Laowai. How much money could a person earn in a month by picking up garbage when he raised his two grandchildren?

Yi Zhonghai said with a red neck, "Guo Laowai, Guo Laowai's family of three all have a fixed amount, but Dongxu's family of three have nothing. I think we should not be selfish, and we must be open and honest. Look at Jia's sister-in-law and Dongxu, they are both from the same courtyard, don't you want to help?"

Blacksmith Sun snorted coldly. She hated Jia Zhang, the old mistress of the Jia family. The last time he went on a blind date in the courtyard, it was ruined by this old woman. With such a good opportunity today, he had to help Xu Damao.

Blacksmith Sun smiled and nodded and said, "I think Zhuzi and Damao are right. It's good enough to be alive these days. Master Yi, you think your apprentice's family is living a miserable life, but have you ever seen people living a really miserable life in the countryside? A family of seven has only one piece of clothing, and whoever goes out wears that piece of clothing. The rest of the people stay at home naked. People like this are the most miserable."
