Courtyard Houses: Starting with the principle of hard work paying off

Chapter 90 Jia Zhangshi also exploded.
Jia family.

Looking at the mess on the floor, with greasy food spilled everywhere, and then at Jia Dongxu who was arguing with her, Jia Zhangshi was so angry that she almost had a heart attack.

"Jia Dongxu, what's so good about that country vixen from lunchtime?"

"In less than half a day, I've already stolen your soul."

“You dare to flip the table right in front of me now. If your dad were alive today and saw you treating me like this, he would definitely give you a good beating.”

"This is absolutely outrageous..."

"..."

At noon, Jia Dongxu had an argument with Matchmaker Sun. After she left with Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi did not tell him the truth when Jia Dongxu pressed her for details.

But this matter can't be kept secret for long.

So, during dinner that evening, Jia Zhangshi confronted Jia Dongxu, confessing that she didn't like Qin Huairu and directly had Matchmaker Sun take Qin Huairu away.

As a result, Jia Dongxu started arguing with her, and in the end, he lost his temper, overturned the table, and ruined all the leftover food from lunch.

If Jia Zhangshi had simply changed her tune and made up a lie to deceive Jia Dongxu, saying that Qin Huairu hadn't taken a liking to their family, things wouldn't have come to this.

But Jia Zhangshi couldn't bear the shame.

She already looked down on Qin Huairu, so if she were to say that Qin Huairu looked down on their family, where would she put her face?

Even if it were just to deceive Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhangshi couldn't do it.

"Sister-in-law, calm down, don't get so worked up."

Yi Zhonghai, who arrived at the scene immediately, comforted Jia Zhangshi, then sternly criticized Jia Dongxu: "Dongxu, you too, this is your mother!"
How could you do this?

No matter what, you can't be so rebellious!

No matter what your mother does, it's all for your own good; you should understand her good intentions.

What parent in the world doesn't think about their children?
There are plenty of women in the world besides Xiao Qin, we can always find another one...

Yi Zhonghai, as Jia Dongxu's mentor, immediately sided with Jia Zhangshi, spoke up for her, and advised and lectured Jia Dongxu.

Yi Zhonghai selected Jia Dongxu, intending to train him to support the couple in their old age. What did he value most in Jia Dongxu?
It is naturally his filial piety.

If you can't even be filial to your own mother, how can you be filial to your master who has no blood relation to you at all?
In the past, no matter what, Jia Dongxu always obeyed Jia Zhangshi and never argued with her.

Now that he's treating Jia Zhangshi like this for a blind date he just met, it's hard for Yi Zhonghai not to feel worried and disheartened. If things continue like this, how can he feel at ease letting him take care of him in his old age?

“Master, this is different.”

Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Jia Dongxu, who had been silent all along, raised his head and looked at his master, Yi Zhonghai, with a somewhat aggrieved expression. He stubbornly insisted, "I only want Qin Huairu. I've already made up my mind about her. I don't want anyone else."

I'm the one who wanted to go on blind dates to find a partner, but my mom didn't even ask for my opinion, didn't even discuss it with me, and just kicked the person out on her own. I..."

As he spoke, Jia Dongxu was so aggrieved that he almost cried.

“Sister-in-law, that’s not right of you. You should have discussed it with Dongxu first.”

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai, who was unaware of the situation, looked at Jia Zhangshi with a helpless expression.

Look at how Jia Zhangshi handled this matter...

It's completely shattered!

It's no wonder that Jia Dongxu had such strong dissatisfaction and opinions.

"Master, what's so good about Qin Huairu? She has a vixen-like face, all she does is seduce men, and she's from the countryside. Our Dongxu, on the other hand, is a city worker with a house and a job..."

Madam Jia was displeased; how did this turn out to be a problem on her part?
She was already dissatisfied with Qin Huairu, looking down on her for being a country girl. After Jia Dongxu's outburst, Jia Zhangshi became even more opposed to her.

They haven't even entered the house yet, it's only the first day of their blind date, and she's already made Jia Dongxu look like this. What will happen after they've actually married into the family?

Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's remarks, Yi Zhonghai understood that Jia Zhangshi disliked Qin Huairu for not being a city girl.

However, he was very troubled and said to Jia Zhangshi with some helplessness, "Sister-in-law, didn't we already discuss this matter before? We were looking for a girl from the countryside. Why did you change your mind again?"

In Yi Zhonghai's view, Qin Huairu's rural background was not a disadvantage, but rather an advantage.

City dwellers are pampered and may not be willing to serve others.

When the couple gets old, they will need someone to take care of them.

If Jia Dongxu marries a city girl with a job, he might not be able to control them in the future.

Yi Zhonghai has a high salary; he's not short of money.

What he worries about isn't whether he'll have money for food in the future, but rather that he'll have no one to take care of him in his old age. For a person without children, having money is useless.

The couple were quite satisfied with Qin Huairu. They had heard that she was hardworking and could do everything around the house.

The only drawback.

She's just too beautiful; I'm afraid she'll be restless after we marry her.

"Dongxu's master, after thinking it over, I still want to find someone in the city, preferably with a formal job..."

Jia Zhangshi knew this wouldn't be easy, but she hoped that Yi Zhonghai, a senior worker in the factory, could contribute more to finding a wife for Jia Dongxu, so she could only express her true thoughts.

"This……"

Yi Zhonghai was speechless.

Previously, because they couldn't find a suitable city girl, they went to the countryside through a matchmaker to look for one, but now Jia Zhangshi has changed her mind.

Isn't this embarrassing?
Given Jia Dongxu's current situation, what can he do?

Even if a highly skilled worker has a lot of prestige, it's really not that great.

He can't offer any help with something as important as marriage right now.

Others aren't stupid, and they certainly won't knowingly jump into a trap.

"I don't care, I want Qin Huairu."

"So what if I'm from the countryside? I don't look down on it."

"Moreover……"

"Mom, you're from the countryside too. My dad married you back then. How can I marry someone from the countryside now?"

"Now that workers and peasants are one family, what gives you the right to discriminate against rural people?"

"..."

Hearing the conversation between Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but speak up.

In fact, Jia Dongxu knew in his heart that with his current conditions, if he wanted to find a wife in the city, he could only find some with poor conditions. Those with good conditions would not even look at him, and he would not even have the opportunity to meet them on a blind date.

There aren't many girls as beautiful as Qin Huairu, not just in the city, but even in the countryside.

If I miss out on Qin Huairu, I may never have another chance like this.

however.

Faced with Jia Dongxu's remarks, Jia Zhangshi was furious.

"Jia Dongxu, you unfilial son, do you even respect your mother anymore?"

She was indeed from the countryside, but now she was a complete city dweller. Jia Zhangshi no longer considered herself a country person, but her son didn't think so.

Not only that, but they said it to my face.

With so many onlookers outside, isn't this just making her look foolish in public and giving the people in the courtyard a reason to laugh at her?

"Mom, what did I say wrong?"

"What's wrong with rural people?"

"You're from the countryside, and Qin Huairu is from the countryside too. What gives you the right to look down on her?"

"Why can't I marry her?"

"One must never forget one's roots!"

"..."

Madam Jia Zhang pointed at Jia Dongxu, trembling all over. She was so angry that her vision went black, and she collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..."

"Dongxu!"

"quick!"

"What are you standing there for? Quickly take your mother to the hospital..."

"..."
