Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

Chapter 474: Turtle Eats the Weight

I have to say that Jia Zhang has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. After a while, she came up with another idea.

"Will this work? Will the people in the courtyard believe it? If someone sees us, it will be exposed." Jia Dongxu didn't expect Jia Zhang to come up with such an idea. He looked at Qin Huairu and saw Qin Huairu shaking her head slightly, so he started to raise the problem.

"Why not?" Jia Zhang thought her idea was a good one: "What does it matter whether you believe it or not?"

"The place where Lao Na lives is quite far from the courtyard. Who here would go there if they have nothing to do? Besides, I don't go out often, so it's not easy to run into me."

"Even if I run into it, what can I do? Can't I come back to buy something when I go back to the countryside?"

It must be said that Jia Zhang was quite smart. She instantly thought of a solution to the question raised by Jia Dongxu, and it sounded quite reasonable.

Seeing that Jia Zhangshi's words made sense, Jia Dongxu didn't know how to refute them.

In fact, he still tended to agree with Tsai Quanwu's opinion and went to the two uncles in private to clarify the matter.

Just like Cai Quanwu said, this is not something shameful. It can be made known to everyone openly, and at most people will discuss it in private.

What's the point of this sneaky thing?

Of course, the fact that Jia Dongxu could accept that master must have something to do with the master's wealthy family.

After all, if the master gave the Jia family a little subsidy, their lives would be much better.

Even if there is no subsidy, it is also good to go to the master's house every now and then to improve your life. When you go home, the expenses at home will be reduced a lot, and you can save a lot of money.

From their interactions, it seemed that the master didn't care much about them improving their lives.

Another point is that if Jia Zhang does this, the truth will be revealed sooner or later. This one lie will require countless lies to cover up, and in the end, it will no longer be able to be covered up and will naturally be exposed.

Rather than being laughed at later, it is better to say it out first as Cai Quanwu said.

Jia Dongxu didn't know how to refute for a moment, so he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and smoked silently. The atmosphere fell silent.

"Mom, why don't you think about it?" After a long silence, Qin Huairu whispered something.

"What are you thinking about? It's settled. I'll pack my bags and leave in two days. I'll tell the people in the courtyard that I'm going back to the countryside." It would have been better if Qin Huairu hadn't advised her. After this advice, Jia Zhang made a decision immediately.

If Jia Dongxu advised Jia Zhang to reconsider, Jia Zhang would still hesitate.

What is your status, Qin Huairu? Whenever Jia Zhang does anything, she needs to consider your face, Qin Huairu's.

A country girl really doesn't have the right position.

Jia Dongxu knew Jia Zhang very well. Seeing that his mother had made her decision, he sighed and did not try to persuade her any further.

……

Cai Quanwu naturally didn't know about the conversation at the Jia family. Not long after he returned to Sha Zhu's house, he went home with Guan Jiaqi.

At this moment, Cai Quanwu and Guan Jiaqi were washing their feet together.

"Hey, what do you think is going on with Aunt Jia?" While washing her feet, Guan Jiaqi started gossiping about the Jia family again.

"Hey, wife, you know what, I actually know a little bit." Seeing that Guan Jiaqi was curious, Cai Quanwu smiled and teased her.

"Oh, you know. Tell me what's going on." When Guan Jiaqi heard Cai Quanwu say he knew, she looked at him and asked like a curious baby.

Before Cai Quanwu could think of what to say, Guan Jiaqi suddenly complained again: "You know, why didn't you say anything when Zhuzi asked you."

"Hey, you know Zhuzi, he's a big mouth. If I tell him this, he won't be able to control his mouth in the factory. He'll spread the news everywhere, and people will say we are talking about him behind his back." Cai Quanwu and Guan Jiaqi explained why they didn't tell Sha Zhu about this.

After hearing Cai Quanwu's explanation, Guan Jiaqi nodded in approval, then looked at Cai Quanwu, as if to say, "You haven't told me what's going on yet."

Seeing Guan Jiaqi looking at him, Cai Quanwu naturally knew what she meant. He smiled and said, "Actually, the matter is not complicated. Jia Zhang met a widower outside, and the two fell in love with each other."

After Cai Quanwu's simple explanation, Guan Jiaqi immediately understood what was going on.

"I thought it was something else." After knowing what it was, Guan Jiaqi suddenly felt bored.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. Guan Jiaqi has seen it before. There are several households in the alley where her home is in the same situation.

Including Guan's mother, someone asked her to find another man to live with.

But Guan’s mother didn’t agree.

"There was nothing wrong in the first place, it's just that Jia Zhang has been hiding it, which has led people to make wild guesses." Cai Quanwu said with a smile.

However, Cai Quanwu could also understand Jia Zhang's behavior.

If no one asks, who would take the initiative to tell others about this kind of thing?

Generally, there is no grudge or hatred between them. Even if they find out, they will keep it to themselves. At most, the people who find out will discuss it at home, and they usually won't spread it outside.

There are some special exceptions. For example, if someone who has a grudge against you knows about it, he or she will definitely spread it everywhere and may even exaggerate it.

"By the way, it's okay for you to know this, don't tell anyone else." After washing his feet, Cai Quanwu gave an instruction and went to pour the foot washing water.

"Got it." Guan Jiaqi's voice came from behind Cai Quanwu.

Pouring the foot washing water into the corner, Cai Quanwu placed the foot basin against the wall, took out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking.

Halfway through drawing, I heard footsteps. I looked up and saw someone walking towards me from the backyard.

When the person came closer, Cai Quanwu could see clearly that it was the second uncle.

"Old Liu, where are you going so late?" Seeing that it was the second uncle, Cai Quanwu greeted him.

At first, I was wondering why Liu Haizhong didn't stay at home that night and came out.

After thinking about it, Cai Quanwu thought that he might go to find his third uncle Yan Bugui.

If Liu Haizhong wanted to hold a meeting, he would definitely have to discuss it with Yan Bugui and get his support.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him alone to mobilize everyone.

It's so nice to stay at home and do nothing. Who wants to listen to someone nagging?

"Nothing, just go to the front yard to look for Old Yan." The second uncle was probably afraid that the Jia family would hear him, so he spoke in a low voice.

After verifying his guess from the second uncle, Cai Quanwu did not meddle in other people's business. He smiled and said, "Okay, then you go ahead and get busy."

After Cai Quanwu finished speaking, he picked up the washbasin and went home.

"Hey, Lao Cai, wait a moment."

As soon as Cai Quanwu turned around, he was stopped by the second uncle.

"What's wrong, Old Liu?" Cai Quanwu was a little confused when he heard the second uncle calling him. Aren't you in a hurry to find Yan Bugui to discuss holding a meeting? Why are you calling him?

"Come and tell me, come and tell me." The second uncle glanced at the Jia family, walked away from the Jia family, and waved to Cai Quanwu.

Cai Quanwu found it a little funny to see the Second Uncle being so cautious, but he still put the foot basin against the wall again and walked towards the Second Uncle.

Cai Quanwu knew exactly what the second uncle wanted to talk to him about. He approached and pretended to be confused and asked, "Old Liu, what's the matter? Why are you so mysterious?"

The second uncle did not answer Cai Quanwu directly, but asked:

"Old Cai, did Sha Zhu tell you about the Jia family when he went back today?"
