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

Chapter 476 Impossible

Cai Quanwu wondered who in the Jia family came up with this idea.

It takes real talent to come up with the excuse of going back to the countryside to move out!

Moreover, there would be no problem for the Jia family's performance to win an acting award in future generations.

If Cai Quanwu was not familiar with the Jia family's situation, he would definitely think that Jia Zhang was going back to the countryside under such circumstances.

However, this performance can only fool people who are not familiar with it. People who really know it will not believe it no matter how good the performance is.

After knowing what had happened, Cai Quanwu did not rush to squeeze into the crowd. Instead, he hid behind the crowd and stood there quietly waiting for everyone to send Jia Zhang and the others out of the courtyard.

After everyone escorted the Jia family out of the courtyard, Cai Quanlu turned around and went home.

"What's the noise outside?"

As soon as Cai Quanwu entered the room, Guan Jiaqi, who was washing her face, asked hurriedly.

"Haha, Jia Zhang next door said she wanted to return to the countryside to settle down. Jia Dongxu and his wife sent her out, and they were afraid that everyone didn't know, so they advertised everywhere and even wanted to use a loudspeaker to shout." Cai Quanwu smiled unconsciously, and then said with a slightly teasing tone.

"Go back to the countryside? Didn't you say that Jia Zhang met a widower in the city? Why are you going back to the countryside now?" Guan Jiaqi didn't hear the sarcasm in Cai Quanwu's tone and asked in confusion.

Seeing that Guan Jiaqi didn't understand what he meant, Cai Quanwu didn't answer her question directly, but smiled and asked back:

"Except for those who can't make ends meet and have no other options, have you seen a few people who are used to living in the city return to the countryside to settle down? Has the Jia family reached the point where they can't make ends meet?"

"Are you saying there's something fishy going on here?" This time Guan Jiaqi understood what Cai Quanwu meant.

"Ah."

Cai Quanwu nodded and looked at Guan Jiaqi with a teachable expression:

"Even if people can't make a living and return to the countryside, they always leave quietly. Who would make a big fuss like the Jia family? Returning to the countryside from the city in disgrace is not something to brag about."

In this day and age, there is no such thing as going back to the countryside to enjoy pastoral life. The first impression of city dwellers about the countryside is that they don’t have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear.

If someone in a rural family finds a job in the city and eats commercial grain, the family's status in the village will instantly improve.

So everyone tried every possible way to get into the city.

Having a job in the city, living in the city, having a ration of food, and getting paid on time, even if the work is hard, is better than the life in the countryside where you have to work hard in the fields and have to rely on God for food.

Many people cannot find jobs in the city, so in order to move to the city, they rack their brains and try every possible way to find a way out.

For example, a man marries into a city dweller, and a woman marries into a city dweller.

Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru are typical examples of people who saved the country by taking a roundabout way.

Don't think that the countryside was better than the city when Qin Huairu married into the city.

The countryside was good at that time, but it was only good compared to the time when the emperor was in power.

The city is always better than the countryside.

In the past, when people said "go to the city to make a living", they meant that there were still some ways to make a living in the city, but staying in the countryside would mean waiting to die.

People are not stupid. If the countryside is really that good, who would go to the city?

"Are you saying that the Jia family did this on purpose? Why?" Guan Jiaqi didn't understand why the Jia family did this.

"This is a retreat to advance, and there are many benefits. Once Jia Zhang leaves, the nights out will be over. Jia Zhang can also live in the widower's house openly, and Jia Dongxu's burden will also be greatly reduced."

Cai Quanwu listed all the benefits he could think of from doing so.

They say that three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang, and it is absolutely true.

Tsai Quanwu had never expected this kind of breakthrough.

However, it is possible that Cai Quanwu was overthinking it. When the Jia family came up with this idea, they didn’t think so much about it.

Just like the movies later on, they were interpreted in various ways by the audience, but the director didn’t have that intention when filming, it was all interpreted by others.

"After all, truth will come to light sooner or later. What if we run into acquaintances in the city?" Guan Jiaqi still didn't understand the Jia family's approach and pointed out many disadvantages of this approach.

Cai Quanwu smiled and asked again: "Wife, do you think it is likely that you will run into your neighbors or acquaintances in Nanluoguxiang?"

Hearing this question, Guan Jiaqi thought about it and frowned, "It shouldn't be big. It's hard to run into my former neighbors and acquaintances here."

"That's it. The Jia family must have considered this. If she lives in a widower's house, the chances of running into someone who knows her in Nanluoguxiang are also low, so the chances of her being exposed are very small."

Cai Quanwu smiled and explained to Guan Jiaqi why the Jia family was not afraid of being exposed, as the chance was too small.

Also, there is no need to be afraid of meeting them on the street. No one says that country people can't go to the city to buy things or see a doctor.

"It's too complicated. Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore." Guan Jiaqi was overwhelmed by the twists and turns and didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.

"Okay, let's stop talking. I'm going to go brush my teeth and wash my face." Seeing that Guan Jiaqi didn't want to talk anymore, Cai Quanwu went to wash up.

After Cai Quanwu finished washing up, the two went to Sha Zhu's house to have breakfast together.

As soon as they sat down, He Yushui couldn't wait to share the news she heard with Cai Quanwu: "Uncle, I just went out to play, and they said that Aunt Jia went back to the countryside and won't be coming back."

"Ah, Aunt Jia went back to the countryside and won't come back? That's impossible." Before Cai Quanwu could say anything, Sha Zhu looked at He Yushui with a surprised expression and disbelief in his tone.

It's like someone telling you that the sun rises from the west today. Your first reaction is that it's impossible and it's simply a fantasy.

"It's true. Many people at the door said so." Seeing that Sha Zhu didn't believe it, He Yushui emphasized again that it was true.

"Yu Shui, you must have heard it wrong. Is it that Aunt Jia is going back to the countryside?" Sha Zhu still refused to believe it and thought that He Yu Shui must have heard it wrong.

He had lived in the courtyard for so many years and knew Jia Zhang too well. Given her lazy and gluttonous personality, how could she never return to the countryside?

"I didn't hear it wrong. If you don't believe me, go ask yourself." He Yushui felt aggrieved that Sha Zhu didn't believe her, and said angrily.

Seeing the brother and sister arguing about this, Cai Quanwu tried to mediate: "Okay, stop arguing, Zhuzi. What Yushui said is true. Jia Zhang did tell everyone that she would return to the countryside to settle down."

"I was listening to what was said, so I can't be wrong."

After hearing what Cai Quanwu said, Sha Zhu finally believed it and just asked, "Uncle, when did this happen? How come I don't know about it?"

"As for what happened this morning, you should not have gotten up. I was woken up and went to join in the fun." Cai Quanwu told Sha Zhu about the situation.

"Hey, why didn't I hear any noise?" Sha Zhu said to himself.

"Who told you to sleep so soundly? If I didn't shout in your ear, how could you hear anything?" As soon as Sha Zhu finished speaking, Xiao Wu said unhappily, and then added: "I heard someone talking in the yard, but I didn't pay attention to it."

"Then why don't you call me and let me join in the fun." Sha Zhu said with some resentment.

"Are you still blaming me?" Hearing Sha Zhu's complaint, Xiao Wu raised his voice a few notches.

"No, no." Seeing that Xiao Wu's tone of voice changed a little, Sha Zhu immediately gave in.

At the critical moment, Sha Zhu can still distinguish between the big and small kings.

Seeing that Sha Zhu admitted his mistake, Xiao Wu snorted twice and didn't say anything else.

Cai Quanwu spoke at the right time: "Okay, stop talking, let's eat."
