Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 238 Jia Dongxu remarries, the cook raises the price
Yi Zhonghai was about to leave, but stopped when he heard the call;
He turned around and looked at Qin Huairu in confusion. Didn't Qin Huairu intend to give up?

Wasn't he quite reasonable just now? If I put forward conditions, I'm afraid I've found the wrong person!
If Qin Huairu is really going to make a scene, we can only ask the manager to do some ideological work on her!
If there was really a big fight, he could understand it, Dongxu's eating habits were really ugly!

Everyone was quite critical of Jia Dongxu's marriage, thinking that the two had been hooking up for a long time;

Only then did he hurriedly get rid of Qin Huairu and couldn't wait to get married!
Everyone knows it, and there is no reason for Qin Huairu not to understand it!

"Huai Ru, anything else?"

"Oh, nothing, Uncle Yi, take care!"

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's back, Qin Huairu's lips curled up slightly;

Of course she did it on purpose, just to lay the groundwork for the future!

Yi Zhonghai is a suspicious person. This is what Jia Dongxu said, and she believes it!

In this case, my hesitation to speak just now will definitely arouse suspicion, and that’s enough!
Qin Huairu was right. Yi Zhonghai was indeed suspicious of her behavior just now!
Yi Zhonghai was walking along the beach, thinking about what Qin Huairu wanted to say;
For what reason did you stop talking?
He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, so he decided to find a time to ask Qin Huairu;

The action just now made him nervous and it felt very important;

But Qin Huairu still had concerns, and now was not the time to ask about this in detail!
The next day was a so-called auspicious day, but it was not a Sunday;
Everyone went to work, and there was only a group of women helping at Jia Dongxu's wedding!
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were naturally not there either;
They would not ask for leave for the Jia family's wedding, and Liu Haizhong would have his salary deducted if he asked for leave without reason;
Yan Bugui asked for leave without reason and could not be evaluated as an advanced worker at the end of the year;
In short, the Jia family will not reimburse the losses caused by taking leave, so of course I don’t want to take leave!
The tables, chairs and benches were arranged, and everyone left with excuses after finishing their meal!
This dramatic scene made Yi Zhonghai feel helpless, as if he had seen it before!

"Uncle Yi, are you still going to hold the banquet?"

The chef was hired from another alley, he is not a professional cook;

Walking around the streets, most of the chefs who go to the countryside to cook banquets!

Where has he encountered such a situation? He can only ask Yi Zhonghai, the "Gui Ke" of the wedding banquet!

It’s not that I don’t want to invite He Yuzhu, but I know I can’t.
He is now the deputy director of the canteen. What about the Jia family? They don't get along well with him. Isn't it asking for trouble to invite Sha Zhu?
When the chef asked this, Yi Zhonghai was also dumbfounded;
This wedding banquet was supposed to take place at noon, which was a matter of etiquette;

There is a saying that "noon is yang and night is yin". As the name suggests, the man must choose 'yang'!
Traditional ideas hold that there are more dirty or obscure things happening at night, so people try to avoid holding wedding banquets at night!
"Please wait a moment, I will go over and ask the boss for his opinion!
This is not something we can decide, don’t you think? "

He didn't dare to make decisions casually. It might have been possible in the past, but now he was in a low point and Jia Zhang was notoriously difficult to deal with!

It would be too unprofitable if he were to be blackmailed by Jia Zhang!

It's not very likely, but it's very likely. When the time comes, everyone will just come out to watch the fun, and you will be the one who suffers!
Since Jia Zhang came back, she has been lying in bed pretending to be sick;

The neighbors didn’t come to visit, so I had no idea what was going on outside!
Qin Huairu moved into the east wing without knowing anything about it. She was looking at her son dressed as the groom and was proud of her plan!
As for Qin Huairu, Jia Dongxu didn't mention her, so she thought she had returned to her hometown!
After all, in her heart, Qin Huairu was just a country woman who had never seen the world;
Once you leave the Jia family, you will have trouble taking a single step in the capital!

When she was feeling proud, Yi Zhonghai came running over in a hurry!

“Sister-in-law, Dongxu, everyone in the compound is gone;

Today is not Sunday, and the guests have not arrived yet;

Should we proceed as usual according to custom, or should we wait and ask for your opinion? "

"What? There is not a single good person in this compound. How can no one help our Dongxu on his big wedding day?

Which family’s wedding or funeral didn’t our Jia family help? You bastard!
Did I think that my Jia family is easy to bully because I have been back in the countryside for a while? "

Jia Zhang was furious. If she wasn’t afraid that her pretending to be sick would be exposed, she would have scolded everyone in the compound!
When my son married Qin Huairu, everyone did something bad. Why is it the same this time?

Do you really think that the Jia family is easy to bully?
Yi Zhonghai shook his head. Shouldn’t he say something nice at this time?

The atmosphere in the compound has changed a long time ago. If these words were to get out, it would definitely cause quite a stir!
Since no one is coming, I’m just holding a wedding for myself?
After get off work, I invited my coworkers to a banquet, but there was no one to serve the food. That was so embarrassing!
If you still want to offend people at this time, all your efforts will be in vain in the countryside and Lao Oga Farm!
I thought it was last year. Things have changed a long time ago!

Jia Dongxu secretly thought that this was a bad idea. Weddings in the compound usually choose an auspicious day, usually on Sunday.
Her mother insisted on today, saying that today was the best day of the year!

He didn't take it seriously. If we held it today, many people wouldn't be able to sit at the table, so we could save a little.
Who could have thought that everyone would be so disrespectful? He also knew that it was too early to get married;
But I have no choice but to get married. After ten months of pregnancy, the child is born too early, so I have to wear the green hat even if I don’t want to!

Although this is not his child, other people don’t know!
If the child was born before October, there are two possible guesses:

First, she was pregnant before the divorce, so he was a "Chen Shimei" and would definitely be despised;
Second, the baby in the belly is not his. He is a typical "adopted child", which is even more embarrassing!
Either way is very disadvantageous, and you have no choice but to get married in a hurry!
The women in the compound were very unhappy with him, and he knew that;
But I didn't expect that everyone would go so far and show no mercy at all!

What should we do now? Just wait for everyone to get off work?
"Master, what is your opinion?"

Jia Dongxu thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a good solution, so he could only look to Yi Zhonghai for help!

Yi Zhonghai will not make decisions for Jia Dongxu. Doesn’t he see that Jia Zhang is still eyeing him covetously?
According to him, we should proceed as usual. There must be a reason why our ancestors left it this way!
But the answer is another matter. Faced with so many setbacks, he has begun to become cautious!

"There are only two solutions for now:

First, postpone the wedding until everyone gets off work;

Second, we will get married directly in the hall and entertain as many people as possible!

If you come over in the evening, I’ll cook a few dishes to entertain you, or make up for it on Sunday!"

Even if the feast is not made up on Sunday, the prepared dishes can be eaten at home;
He did not give a definite answer, but instead gave a multiple-choice question and let the Jia family decide for themselves!
“No, if we postpone it until the evening, wouldn’t it be a waste?

When Dongxu got married last time, these bad guys gave a share of 1,000 yuan;

Sha Zhu got 10,000 yuan when he got married. I heard about it when I came to visit last time. Is the Jia family worse than the He family?

We must take it back this time. Haven’t our Jia family let many of them go out with us over the years?

If you want to take advantage of my family, don’t even think about it! "

Jia Zhang was unwilling to do so. At that time, she had just returned from labor camp and did not dare to make trouble. This time it was a good opportunity to take it back!
As for other things, they are not within consideration. The most important thing is to get the share money back!
Whoever dares to "bully" their family this time will definitely not have an easy time!

Yi Zhonghai was speechless. Isn’t a good omen better than anything else?
Is it really a good idea to hold a wedding at a time when the yin is stronger than the yang, just for that little bit of gift money?
By the time everyone gets off work, completes the wedding procedures, and starts the banquet, it will be around seven or eight o'clock, right?

I thought so in my mind, but on the surface I was calm and composed, as if I had made my own decision.
He was determined not to speak, and his current position was very correct, that of a 'guest concierge'!
It’s better to listen to the old lady. When you are at the peak of your life, you can spend as much time as you want. When you are at the bottom, you should keep a low profile!
Jia Dongxu's marriage was already subject to gossip. If they were not master and disciple, he might not have taken on this responsibility!
Jia Dongxu was wavering. If the event was held now, it would definitely be a big loss.

The money for the banquet was borrowed from Yi Zhonghai, so some of it had to be recovered;
Although Jia Zhangshi's mischief played a role in his marriage to Qin Huairu, everyone did go too far;
If I don't take it back this time, will I give it as a gift at other people's weddings in the future? If I give it, I won't be happy, and if I don't give it, others won't be happy either!

But postponing it until the evening is not a good idea, since we need a good omen for our wedding.
There are many sayings about the dominance of yin and the decline of yang:

First, night is when ghosts and obscurities are most active, which is unlucky;
Second, yin is strong and yang is weak, which means that the women of the Jia family will have the final say in the future, and he will not allow this!

The Jia family will be a wealthy family in the future, how can they let a woman run the family? "Dongxu, listen to me, wait until these bad guys come back!"

Seeing her son wavering, Jia Zhang secretly thought it was bad. If he chose to go ahead as usual, the money for the gift would be wasted.

If I want to take it back, I have to wait until Chunni'er's baby gets married. Then when can I go?

"Master, wait until night!"

Jia Zhang's eagerness gave Jia Dongxu the answer;
Feudal superstition is not allowed nowadays. These statements are all superstition and you can completely ignore them!
You can't just say you don't want to do it, but you still mean the same thing, right? Thinking of this, I feel much better!

"Okay, I'll notify the cook!"

Yi Zhonghai sighed secretly. He knew Dongxu was easily influenced, so he didn't think much of it at first.
Now it seems that Jia Zhang’s influence is stronger than one could imagine;

From what we can see just now, the one who really makes the decision is Jia Zhang!
If Jia Zhangshi doesn't die and wants Jia Dongxu to take care of him in his old age, he needs Jia Zhangshi's consent;
But this person wanted too much, and he couldn't give it;
Fortunately, the five million was issued a note, otherwise it would have been wasted!
For the first time, he began to waver in his plan for Jia Dongxu's retirement. Once the cracks appeared, it would be difficult to repair them!
"Master, postpone it until the evening, you can rest for a while!"

Yi Zhonghai took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to the chef!

“That won’t work, if you do it now, you can get off work in the evening;
It doesn’t start until the evening, don’t I have to go there at midnight?
You have to pay more, or I won’t serve you.

We agreed on 50,000, give me 100,000!"

The master chef rolled his eyes, packed the creatinine cigarettes without any hesitation, and raised the price!

"Master, this is not good for your reputation, right?"

Yi Zhonghai was exhausted, and asking Jia Zhang to pay more money was just a fantasy!
"Humph, you guys broke the agreement first, but you're not my friend, give me your word!"

The master chef is fearless and now we have no choice but to use him. Is it possible to find a temporary cook?
"Okay, I'll ask again!"

When Yi Zhonghai told the Jia family about the chef's requirements, Jia Zhang agreed without hesitation!

Looking at the straightforward Jia Zhang, Yi Zhonghai was stunned. Has this person's temperament changed?

If it were in the past, wouldn’t I have to argue with the cook?
"Mom, why did you agree? That's fifty thousand!"

Jia Dongxu was dissatisfied. He said, "Just let me agree if I just touch my upper lip to my lower lip?"
So this isn't the Jia family's money, don't you feel sorry for it?
“He is beautiful, keep it stable for now, and give him 50,000 when the job is done;

How can it be justified to raise the price? "

Jia Zhang's expression of everything being under control made Jia Dongxu dumbfounded;

Is it possible to do this? Aren't you afraid that the cook will make a scene in the bridal chamber?
It’s not a good idea to postpone the wedding to the evening. If the cook thinks about it again, their family will become a joke!

"Isn't this bad? If things get really bad, it will be terrible!"

"Humph, making trouble? Who gave him the courage?
This is our compound, how can we be afraid of him?"

Jia Zhang said unhappily, as if to say, I have never seen anyone as useless as you!
This is their territory. If an outsider dares to make trouble, he will be beaten to death!
Jia Dongxu said nothing. It would be good to save money.
I am afraid that the people in the compound will not help but just watch the fun;

Judging from the current situation, the possibility is very high!
The cook received Yi Zhonghai's reply and naturally agreed with great joy;
Just wait, one banquet is equivalent to the payment of two banquets;
Why not take advantage of the dark, maybe you can steal something?

After get off work, He Yuzhu didn’t want to go home;

News came from the compound that the Jia family would wait for them to return before holding the wedding!

Who doesn't understand this calculation? When Xu Damao came over to remind him, he knew what the Jia family was planning!

The gift giving depends on everyone. If everyone gives, he will give too, after all, others gave him the gift.

Even if everyone else doesn't follow his lead, he won't be the first to do so, so that everyone won't complain!
"Qiuyue, I'll take you to a good place!"

He Yuzhu looked at Qiuyue and Xiao Yushui mysteriously. Qiuyue knew that Brother Zhuzi didn't want to go home!
"Where are you going? You're so mysterious!"

She glanced at him with displeasure and could guess the reason. It was a bit too much that these people were colluding in the factory, but she was looking forward to it!

"Hahaha, you'll know when we get there. It's said to be very nice and a sight to behold. Let's go and see it for ourselves!"

"Well, Yu Shui and I will meet Chef He!"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu laughed, asked the two to sit down, and then he rode away on his bike!

"Zhu Zi, you're not going in this direction to the compound!"

"Second uncle, Director Wang has something to ask you, let's go check it out first!"

"Okay, go early and come back early!"

"understood!"

Liu Haizhong continued on his way with his hands behind his back. When he passed by the street office, he saw Director Wang who was just getting off work!

"Director, are you off work? I just saw Zhuzi and he said you had something to ask him!"

Liu Haizhong never misses any opportunity to get close to the director of the subdistrict office. Once he sees this, he rushes to build a relationship with him!
"Zhu Zi? I didn't look for him, maybe it was another Director Wang!
I heard that your compound is not peaceful again? As the manager, you need to educate them!

No more embarrassing or weird things can happen, got it?"

"Don't worry, I'm always watching!"

"Ah That's good!"

Liu Haizhong looked at Director Wang's back and thought, there is another Director Wang? How come he didn't know!
The only official Zhuzi knows, besides this one, is in the steel mill, but there is no director named Wang in the steel mill!
Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong suddenly realized that Zhuzi was hiding because he didn't want to attend the Jia family's wedding banquet!
In that case, why doesn't he hide away as well?

Thinking of this, he felt that it was time to visit the director's home;

As the workshop director, it’s not too much to ask for a visit with some gifts, right?

Do it when you think of it, and focus on being efficient;
After buying something at the supply and marketing cooperative, he wandered towards the director's yard;

Go home? That has to wait until I visit my superiors!
