Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 213: Tearing off the fig leaf and establishing rules

If this was in the previous life, no one would be envious, and some might even gloat over it!
Because in the afterlife, men who get married go not into heaven, but into the grave!

Most married men would probably murmur meaningfully:
They are no longer alone in the difficult life, as there are new people to accompany them forward!
Without further ado, He Yuzhu just used his eloquent tongue to make Qiuyue laugh until she cried, and the rain rolled on the kang!
I was feeling very proud of myself when I suddenly heard the sound of a table being smashed. Was it a disappointment? It definitely was!

His face changed and he asked Yu Shui to accompany Qiu Yue while he came out to check the situation!
Since Yu Shui has become cheerful, she has been interested in everything that happens in the compound. As long as she is there, she will definitely be among the crowd watching the fun!
As for Qiuyue, although she was also interested, she was the bride today and it was not appropriate for her to come out and watch the fun!
He Yuzhu then let Yushui accompany Qiuyue. I guess Qiuyue must be feeling uneasy in her new house alone. It's better to let Yushui accompany her!
He thought that the drunkard was acting crazy and was wondering how to deal with it!
As a result, it was this old guy who got furious first. What's wrong with him?

He Yuzhu didn't know that while everyone was eating and drinking, this old guy was locked up!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have such thoughts, but he would be sure that this guy just couldn't stand him doing well and came to cause trouble. The key is that he doesn't know it!

He thought that the old man was here to cause trouble. As for why he didn't start the attack when the guests were present, that was because of Director Wang!

He Yuzhu’s imagination was running wild, and he speculated maliciously about the old man’s motives and purposes!
The deaf old lady was shocked by He Yuzhu's cold eyes. Have she and Sha Zhuzi come to this point?
There was no emotion in his eyes, only a chill running through his body!
Is it really impossible to go back? She wants to try again!

If you can't find a solution from Zhuzi, then try to find a solution from Zhuzi's silly wife!

At this moment she still doesn't know what she will encounter and still has fantasies about He Yuzhu!

"Old lady, come on, I'm listening, why do you have to make trouble about my marriage?

Or are you dissatisfied with something and have to make trouble in such an occasion?"

Seeing that the deaf old lady was still in a daze, He Yuzhu lost all his patience!
If it weren't for the old man's age and frail body, he would have wanted to slap him!
The four greatest joys in life: rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night, and getting your name on the list of successful candidates!

He is about to have his wedding night and can't wait for it to get dark. This old guy is sending him negative energy. It would be strange if he can tolerate it!

If it was Jia Zhang, he might not waste any time and just slap her away and be done with it!
But this guy won't do. If he's not careful, he'll have to pay with his coffin, or wear mourning clothes. It's not worth it!
"He Yuzhu, how are you talking to the old lady? Who is standing in front of you? Look carefully before you speak!"

When Yi Zhonghai saw that He Yuzhu dared to scold the deaf old lady, he immediately stood up and criticized him!

I was secretly happy in my heart, thinking that the greater good was on my side, so if not now, when would I make my presence felt?
Unfortunately, he also lives in his own world and believes that the deaf old lady will still be respected by everyone!

No matter how society changes, respecting the elderly and loving the young has always been a traditional virtue recognized by everyone and a moral code!
He Yuzhu dared to treat the old lady like this, he believed that everyone would stand on his side and jointly "fight" against her!
He even became excited, thinking that the highlight moment of losing the ball was about to come!

What a pity, he is still a fool who is obsessed with the past and unwilling to accept what he has lost!
It’s not that he is not smart, on the contrary, the old guy is very smart!
But it is precisely because of one’s intelligence that one gets stuck in a dead end and cannot get out!
Were the civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty not smart? Of course they were smart, and even represented the smart people of that era, but why were they obsessed with the beautiful dream of the Celestial Empire?

Yi Zhonghai made the same mistake, indulging in the past, still believing that his current experience was temporary and that he would return to that time sooner or later!

What he doesn't understand is that if he can't face reality, he will never be able to go back!

"Shut up, this is none of your business, sit down!"

He Yuzhu didn't even turn his head, his eyes still staring at the deaf old lady in front of him, he must get an explanation!
"you..."

Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to use his sayings of "hardening one's skills a thousand times" and "knowing it by heart" to accuse He Yuzhu from a moral high ground!

It was a pity that He Yuzhu was too lazy to look at him and said nothing, and the neighbors did not follow him in blaming Zhuzi!
He thought about it, then gave up and sat down on the stool as if he had lost all his strength!

It turned out that no one among so many people was looking at him, they were all staring at He Yuzhu and the deaf old lady!

The "magic weapon" that worked every time last year finally lost its power and became dull!

No one in the compound cares about his words anymore, or rather, they have completely become invisible people in the compound and no one is willing to listen to them!

In the neighbor's eyes, there is only He Yuzhu, the person who was once treated as a fool by him and played around by him, the person who he once thought he could do whatever he wanted!

The Sha Zhu who followed him last year and asked Xu Damao to beat him up is gone. In his place is He Yuzhu, who is confused and unpredictable and whose temperament has changed drastically!

"Silly Zhuzi, in all my time in the compound, this is the first time I've been excluded from a banquet!

I want to ask, is this your idea or Xu Fugui and Liu Haizhong's idea? "

Looking at the cold eyes, the deaf old lady was trembling in her heart!
However, I still tried to control my heart and calm myself down, and try to remain calm and composed!
But the trembling corners of her mouth still betrayed her inner thoughts!

He Yuzhu knew that the deaf old lady's heart was filled with complex emotions such as dissatisfaction and resentment!

"Three gentlemen, isn't the old lady seated yet?"

Xu Fugui and Liu Haizhong watched this scene drunkenly!
When they were drinking just now, both of them tried hard to control themselves, fearing that they would get drunk and make a fool of themselves!
So I wasn't drunk, and I even joined in everyone's chat!
"I don't know. Don't people in the compound take their own seats? We didn't notice it when we were accompanying the guests!"

Xu Fugui didn't understand what He Yuzhu meant and spoke politely. He and Liu Haizhong knew what He Yuzhu meant and were full of disdain!

They didn't drive this person away, so whether he was allowed to sit at the table was not within their control!
On the other hand, wouldn't you come if I didn't ask you to? They are not Yi Zhonghai, who are you being so hypocritical for?

"It seems not? I didn't see it either!"

Yan Bugui also didn't understand what He Yuzhu meant and answered vaguely!

"I saw the old lady being carried away by Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng!"

Yi Zhonghai suddenly said this, turning everyone's attention to the two young people!
"Brother Zhuzi, our mission is to prevent anyone who is planning to cause trouble from entering the banquet venue!
The banquet is halfway through today and we are preparing to serve the food!
We found that the old lady looked very unhappy and was cursing. In order to avoid offending the guests, we secretly sent her home! "

Liu Guangqi was smarter. He did not involve Yan Bugui and looked at He Yuzhu calmly!
At this time they must unite to face the outside world and not undermine each other. He Yuzhu admired in his heart that there was a reason why Liu Haizhong valued this kid so much!

This level of emotional intelligence is not something that ordinary people can match. If you ask others to answer this question, this will definitely not be the answer!
"Old lady, can you tell me why you are cursing? Why do you look so weird?"

He Yuzhu remained the same as always, with no change in his expression, and no one knew what he was thinking!
I secretly felt lucky that I had stopped him, otherwise the old guy would have made a fool of himself and it would have been embarrassing for everyone!
"Silly Zhuzi, since you asked, I will explain it in detail!"

The deaf old lady knew that she had to make this matter clear, otherwise, her words would cause He Yuzhu to misunderstand even more!
Deep down in her heart, she still wanted to ease the relationship with He Yuzhu and didn't want to never have any contact with each other again!
The better He Yuzhu lives, the more eager she becomes to follow He Yuzhu and enjoy the best of life, otherwise she will have to eat coarse food!

"No, don't call yourself grandma anymore, we are just neighbors who are not allowed to worship!
My grandma has been buried for many years, which is not good for you! "

He Yuzhu still had no expression on his face, and he wanted to slap him to death in his heart, "Where's your fucking face?"

I’ve told you so many times, don’t call yourself grandma, my grandma is in the underworld!
But this old guy just wouldn’t listen. Every time he called herself grandma, he felt like vomiting!
"According to the rules of our compound, at weddings and funerals, the old ladies sit at the main table, right?

This is the basis for maintaining the traditional virtues of respecting the elderly and loving the young in the compound!

What about this time? The old woman changed her clothes and waited, but she didn't even see Xu Fugui and Liu Haizhong!

Where do I put this old woman? How can I still have any dignity?

What’s even more outrageous is that these two bastards locked the old woman at home. What was their intention?

It is only natural that the old woman should ask for an explanation!"

The deaf old lady seemed not to hear what He Yuzhu said. She glanced at Xu and Liu with a look as if they were doing something wrong, and then stared at He Yuzhu!
The rules of the compound have always been like this. Silly Zhuzi, you are not going to overturn the virtues of respecting the elderly and loving the young, are you?

If this is the case, how will you gain a foothold in the compound and in society in the future?
For thousands of years, filial piety has been the foundation of China's culture. Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong would hold a Banquet for Thousand Elders!
As the oldest person in the compound, shouldn't she be angry about being treated like this?

Shouldn't He Yuzhu apologize immediately and arrange another table for her to show his apology and soothe her inner resentment?

She said this in public to emphasize that her real meaning was that the rules of the compound still exist and will not change with the development of society and the rise and fall of personnel!
She just wants to tell everyone that the persistence of many years has not been slackened and etiquette has not been lost!
"The traditional virtue of respecting the old and loving the young in the compound? I'm afraid this is the traditional virtue of you and Yi Zhonghai, right?

Let me answer your first question:
You didn’t sit at the main table. This has nothing to do with the first and second uncles. It was my arrangement!

The reason is that those who come are distinguished guests, and you, as a capitalist, are not suitable to be here!

As for respecting the old and loving the young? Grandma Liu is not much younger than you, right? Not to mention the previous banquets, at the Jia family's banquet, except for Grandma Liu's grandson, I didn't see any old people!

But what about you? Being invited to the main table by Yi Zhonghai and enjoying the respect of others, is this called respecting the old and loving the young?
Does the respect for the elderly and love for the young in the compound only apply to you?"

He Yuzhu spoke casually, his expression remained unchanged, his eyes still cold!
These words were like a wake-up call, not only striking into the hearts of Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady, but also awakening everyone in the compound. Everyone nodded involuntarily! The deaf old lady took two steps back before she stood firm. She was a capitalist, haha. . .

This actually became the explanation accepted by everyone, and she had no way to refute it!
“Second question:

Everyone can sit down and wait for their food to be served. What’s the difference between you and others?

Do I have to kneel down to greet you? If I kneel down, will you accept it? Or do I have to prepare two maids to serve you?

It's still Yi Zhonghai's bad habit. Who is he showing off to? Huh?
Did you not know that I was getting married, or did you not know that the banquet was about to begin? You couldn't come by yourself?
Let me tell you, this rule is gone. Everyone listen up, from now on at any wedding or funeral, you have to sit at the table yourself!

What a bad habit! Why would you invite people when you live in the same compound? It's all caused by your own habits!"

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he turned around and looked around, staring at Xu Fugui and the other two, meaning that it was time for them to express their stance!

"The three of us unanimously agree with Zhuzi's opinion. We should go to the table and eat by ourselves from now on. We are all neighbors, so we won't tolerate this habit!"

Upon seeing this, Xu Fugui immediately expressed his opinion. He guessed that except Yi Zhonghai, no one wanted to be the grandson, right?

"Speaking of this, I would like to ask you a question. Please answer it seriously without any falsehood!"

Seeing that the three uncles agreed, He Yuzhu ignored the gloomy faces of Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady and turned to look at Yan Bugui!
"Zhu Zi, you said, as long as I know, I will tell you everything I know!"

Yan Bugui shuddered. Are you going to talk about packing?
Although everyone does this, it is still embarrassing to call out someone’s name in public!

"Third uncle, whenever there is a wedding or funeral in the compound, you are the one who pays the gift money, right?"

He Yuzhu certainly didn't know what Yan Bugui was thinking, otherwise he would definitely be in a dilemma!

Even in later generations there were people who took care of packing their own things, let alone now!
He is not stupid, how could he possibly mention packing? Unless he is crazy!

"Yes, it's been several years, and it's always me!"

Yan Bugui breathed a sigh of relief. So that was the matter. Then it didn’t matter!

"In that case, has the old lady ever given any gift money?"

He Yuzhu ignored his micro-expression and asked directly by name!

"this..."

Yan Bugui knew it, but was it really okay to be so direct? Shouldn't it be more subtle?
"Why? Is it difficult to answer? Or do you need each family to bring over the gift money list for review?"

He Yuzhu frowned and looked at the cunning Yan Bugui with a smile!

"No, no, I never gave it to you!

Lao Yi once said that the old lady was a lonely widower and it would be impossible to take it back even if he gave it to her, so he didn’t give it to her!
The gift money is a favor at first and a debt at last, and it has to be returned sooner or later!

The first time was the Zheng family, they didn’t object and I didn’t say anything, from then on, the old lady treated everyone equally! "

Yan Bugui's words still sounded a bit nice, but he emphasized the tone of "treating everyone equally"!

"Very good, very powerful. In this case, Uncle Yi, may I ask, what has the old lady been eating for so many years?
People are born, grow old, get sick and die. What should we do when the old lady passes away?
If you have done nothing in life, how can you carry a coffin after death?"

He Yuzhu sneered, he knew that he was closely related to the hypocrite!

"I..."

Yi Zhonghai was speechless for a moment. Can you say this in public? Just look at everyone's reactions!
"That's right, if the old lady doesn't give me a gift money, she will just eat and drink for free, and she's so arrogant!
There is no one to carry the coffin after death, let Yi Zhonghai carry it alone!"

"Yes, what Shazhu said makes sense. She didn't give us any gift money but still invited us to dinner. We owe her that!"

"Some people are used to being served by maids, and suddenly become ordinary people, so they can't adapt!"

"Yes, this is a new era. Who gave you the confidence to bully us?"

"Who else could you be talking about? It could be Yi Zhonghai!"

"Yi Zhonghai himself is a labor camp prisoner, why should he give the capitalists confidence?"

"Hey, it's not like he was born a prisoner. He had a glorious life in the past few years!

I guess maybe he was used to being the ancestor, so he didn’t react today!”

"Not bad, the analysis is very logical and I am impressed!"

"Hey, thank you, thank you!"

The deaf old lady's eyes went dark, and all her fig leaves were torn off by Sha Zhu!

She knew she couldn't go back, she couldn't go back when the ingredients were announced again!

The most important thing is that she finally confirmed that she could no longer rely on Sha Zhuzi and could only hang herself on Yi Zhonghai!
"In this case, I declare a rule:
From now on in our compound, if anyone doesn’t give you a gift money, don’t be so shameless as to eat and drink for free!

Don’t let him leave when the time comes and then you’ll be embarrassed!
Three uncles, what do you think? "

"Support!" "Let's do it!" "Agree!"

"What do you guys think?"

"support!"

"Old lady, let me answer your last question:
Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng were assigned by me. Anyone causing trouble must be cleared away immediately to prevent them from disturbing our distinguished guests!

I have answered all your questions, is there anything else?"

"Haha, I don't have any other opinions. In this case, Zhong Hai, help me go back!

This is no longer the Siheyuan I know. From now on, I will just live my own life behind closed doors!"

Yi Zhonghai hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward to help the deaf old lady go home!

All of his personality traits have collapsed, except for his kindness!

If he dared not to help, even this would be gone. There was nothing else worth mentioning about his body except his locksmith skills. He would be completely finished!
Everyone looking at the deaf old lady's hunched back knows that the era of old ladies acting tyrannically is over!
After today, this person should face reality, and they will feel that the sky above their heads has become much brighter!

Up to now, the only one who remained unmoved was Jia Dongxu!

He knew that He Yuzhu couldn't refute at this moment, and whoever went up would get hurt!
The deaf old lady has been taking advantage of her age for a long time, and everyone is angry but dares not speak out!

Perhaps the only one who dares to say a word is his mother in the countryside!
As the saying goes, when a wall falls, everyone pushes it. The composition of the group was re-determined. The man in the Zhongshan suit never showed up, and she lost her deterrent power!
It is important for a person to know himself. You still don't recognize the situation and want the host to invite you to the main table. It is not unfair that you end up like this!

And his master, he used to be a very smart man, why is he so stupid now?

At this time, shouldn't we keep our mouths shut?

He could see through that the old lady had lost everyone’s respect, but the master couldn’t?
Then he smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was inhumane. His mother was a prisoner in a labor camp, his master was a prisoner in a labor camp, how good could the Jia family be!
It’s the end of the month, brothers, monthly tickets, monthly tickets!!!
