Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 10: Yi Zhonghai

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhang who was sleeping soundly on the kang, and his anger rose. Jia Dongxu is your son, have you figured it out? You are full and sleeping soundly, and all the neighbors who were in charge of you have run away. You eat like a fat pig. Have you never seen food before?

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai picked up the cup on the table and poured it directly on Jia Zhang's face.

"Which bastard dares to splash water on me?"

A high-pitched voice came out of Jia Zhang's mouth, and then Jia Zhang jumped up and got off the kang neatly, looking like she was fighting for her life.

He Yuzhu shook his head in admiration at the fast speed.

Yi Zhonghai was almost so angry that he vomited blood. I was busy running around for your son's wedding, but you, not only caused more trouble, but also slept. It would have been fine if you just slept, but you even scolded me for leaving the family extinct.

"Jia Zhang, if you don't want your son to get married properly, just tell him straight away. I'll go to Qinjiazhuang to cancel the engagement, so as to avoid embarrassment and make our compound lose face."

Yi Zhonghai scolded Jia Zhang loudly, saying that if she wasn't counting on Jia Dongxu to take care of her in her old age, she would be a fool who worked so hard for nothing and got scolded. The words "extinct family" were like poisoned needles piercing her heart.

"Yi Zhonghai, what are you crazy about? I've finished serving food to everyone and it's all right. Can't I take a break now?"

Jia Zhang really didn't know what happened in the compound. She was full and sleepy, so why didn't she go to bed? That wasn't her style.

"The neighbors have packed up their things and gone home, why are you still sleeping? Dongxu might have already gone back to pick up the bride. How are we going to explain the bride's entry into the house? How are we going to explain to her family?"

"what?"

Jia Zhang was shocked by Yi Zhonghai's words. Wasn't she fine just now? How could she change after sleeping? Thinking of this, Jia Zhang rushed out of the room and saw that her eyes were dark. If she hadn't seen the stove not far away, she would have thought she was dreaming.
"But Lao Yi, weren't you fine just now? Why is this happening? Silly Zhu, is it you who did this?"

He Yuzhu didn't expect that he would get hurt by eating a melon. Everyone blamed him for everything. Isn't that too much?

"Aunt Jia, I don't know why everyone left. It seems that your wedding banquet cannot be held. Then I will leave too. I don't want to stay here and take the blame. My shoulders are too weak to bear it."

He Yuzhu said this and turned and left without any hesitation.

"Silly Zhu, you just left when your elders said a few words to you. You should respect the old and love the young. Is that what I usually teach you?"

He Yuzhu almost vomited. Where do you get the nerve, Yi Zhonghai? People who don’t know you would think you are my father.
"Uncle Yi, no, I don't have any elders. My irresponsible father has already run away, so I just pretend that I don't have this father. The other elders have already been buried, so I don't expect to have such elders.

Good fellow, you are taking the blame just because I treat you as my elders, I am not worthy of serving you, your elders."

He Yuzhu turned around and left, of course with a smile on his face. Yi Zhonghai didn't notice and went home and closed the door in one go.

Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai were left looking at each other in bewilderment. It was the first time that He Yuzhu refuted Yi Zhonghai so strongly.

It's not that He Yuzhu can't control his emotions. He knows Yi Zhonghai's character very well. He is very good at moral kidnapping. He Yuzhu wants to create a situation where everything is because of Jia Zhang. How will Jia Dongxu react when he comes back and hears about this? He Yuzhu is looking forward to it. . . "Hey, Jia Zhang, I thought you were just messing around with other people's affairs, but I didn't expect you to be so messy with your own son's big event. You can do whatever you want!"

Yi Zhonghai was not panicked at all. If he solved the problem, would it be considered a big favor? Of course, he didn't care about the favor that Jia Zhangshi remembered for him, but he cared about Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu!
"Old, Old Yi, you can't just leave it alone. Dongxu will come back to pick up the bride and see this. What if the bride regrets the engagement? Please think of a solution."

Although Jia Zhang was being unreasonable at this time, it was not yet outrageous. The reason why things became so outrageous later was because Jia Dongxu's sacrifice to heaven allowed her to completely let go of herself and give up everything. Of course, no one knew whether Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were acting in it.

All we know is that the final winner is the Jia family, and everyone else is a loser.

"Well, you're just causing more trouble. I'll go talk to Old Yan and Old Liu about it. If Dongxu wasn't my apprentice, I wouldn't bother with your family's affairs."

Jia Zhang ignored Yi Zhonghai's words. As long as the problem was solved, she didn't care about the gossip at all. After Old Jia's death, if she cared about the gossip, it would be hard to say whether she could have managed to pull Dongxu forward.

Yi Zhonghai found Yan Bugui and discussed mobilizing everyone to help. The bride is about to arrive, and if things get messed up like this it will not only bring shame to the Jia family, but also to the entire compound.

There were not many entertainment activities. Once the bride was brought back and firecrackers were set off, people would definitely gather around to watch. It would be very embarrassing for their compound to be in this situation. At this time, the sense of collective honor was very strong. Even if Yan Bugui was unwilling, he had to work with each family one by one.

Liu Haizhong was much easier to deal with. With just one sentence from the leader, the people's difficulties were resolved, and Liu Haizhong immediately recovered. His thoughts of watching the fun had long been thrown to Java Island.

Later, after the efforts of the three, everyone reluctantly carried their belongings back. The people came back, but their hearts were not. There were still twists and turns in this. They used the sense of honor to ask everyone to come back, but the lost things were already lost. Would they be willing to do so?

He Yuzhu observed that there might be more stories to come, and chuckled, "Brother Dongxu, your wedding will be much more exciting than the acrobatics under the overpass. I'm very much looking forward to it."

Although everyone came, He Yuzhu didn't move. What's wrong? Other families have come to invite people, so why shouldn't I?

Chef Li seemed to know what He Yuzhu was thinking. Seeing that everyone else had come out but He Yuzhu hadn't, he walked over to Yi Zhonghai and started asking for help in the kitchen. He couldn't just do it alone, could he? The older sister next to him didn't seem to be very efficient at her job either. It would be better for Shazhu to help in the kitchen.

Seeing that Sha Zhu didn't come, Yi Zhonghai could only go to his house and persuade Sha Zhu in a kind voice. Now he didn't dare to speak in the tone of an elder. No matter what, he had to wait until Dongxu's wedding was successfully concluded. Yi Zhonghai already felt a little tired.

Will He Yuzhu do simple work? The answer is no. Yi Zhonghai said a lot of nice things and finally agreed to continue helping in the kitchen. However, he changed as soon as he left the house, cursing.

"The Jia family doesn't know good from bad. If it weren't for your Uncle Yi, I would definitely not be able to help. Good fellow, how would I know why the neighbors left? You think my child is easy to bully and blame me. From now on, if I call you Aunt Jia, I will walk backwards."

He Yuzhu had a face full of grievance and spoke very loudly, fearing that the neighbors couldn't hear him. Yi Zhonghai wanted to stop him but was afraid of angering He Yuzhu, so he could only remain silent, comforting himself that he could just wait out Dongxu's wedding banquet.

He didn't know whether Sha Zhu did it intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was deliberately provoking everyone's anger. He always felt that there would be more twists and turns, which made him nervous.

Don't make any more trouble. You must keep a close eye on Jia Zhangshi. He wants to be the steward. If he can't even handle a small wedding, how can he be a good steward? Can everyone still trust him?
